and full of hangover. Dignifed
and severe, Baldwin rose and rep
rimanded the bunch for their laxitv
and neglect of duty. Then, tired of
the tongue lashing, one half-drunk
legislator broke out:
Hold on now, Mister Speaker
how the hell can we know what time
it is when you have got all our
watches?' That fixed it but the
watches were kept by Baldwin.
Pulled No Punches
At almost every term of his
practice in court there would be
entered on the journal: "Ordered
that Michael Baldwin, one of the at
torneys of this court, be fined ten
dollars for contempt of court and be
committed to jail until the fine be
paid" Apparently Baldwin did not
hold back his punches in the court
room and to him all judges looked
like anybody else.
Baldwin died in 1871 at thirty-five
poor, brilliant, rollicking, bolster
Gus and drunken Mike, tradition in
the early Ohio bench and bar.
The foregoing story, factual in
every respect, casts no reflection on
the bench and bar of early Ohio.
They were no worse and no better
than the rest. Everybody drank in
the old days-the preacher had his
nip; the schoolmaster his swig; the
churchwoman her gulp and the
churchman his guzzle. The house
wives drank whiskey and offered it
first thing to every guest who drop
ped in-and it was considered an in
suit to refuse.
The settlers meant no harm and
the habit was not considered harmful
nor undignified. Whiskey was cheap,
Is cents to 81 gallon, according to
neighborhood and the year. Other
beverages were in lesser demand.
Most homes had a still of some kind,
improvised or homemade and manu-
factured pretty good whiskey. How
ever, like Mike Baldwin-35 is a
pretty early age to bow out of this
old world. Then on the other hand,
most old pioneers lived far into the
eighties and nineties. Maybe whiskey
had nothing to do with it.

Tricky Questions?

@. think Arachne is a pretty
name. How do you like it as name
for my infant daughter?-Mrs. A. o.
A. I'd advise against it. Arachne
pronounced uh-RAK-nee}, in Greek
Mythology, was a maiden of Lydia
She was expert at weaving and
challenged Athena to a weaving
contest. But Athena changed her
into a spider. Arachne, you see. is
Greek for spider"
Columbus: What Is the preferred
pronunciation of the word auto
maton?-V. A. E.
A. Avoid the common mispronun-
ciation AUTHORITARIAN" Place
the accent on the second syllable,
thus: aw-TOM-uh-tahn: or: aw-
TOM-uh-tun
New York. There is considerable
controversy over the word American.
Is it noun or not?-D. C.
A. American is both adjective and
noun. In speaking of the American
people, the American flag, the Amer
ican standard of living, etc. 1t is an
adjective. 1t is a noun in such con-
struction as: He is an American; !;
the American defeated the Briton at
golf. The same is true of German,
Mexican, Canadian. Japanese. Chi
nese. Indian. etc.
Akron: What, please, is "strato-
vision?"-M e.
A. Stratovision is a recently coined
word designating the broadcasting
of televsion programs from high
circlfng airplanes in order to in
crease the area of reception. Stra-
tovision is a co-development Of
Westinghouse and the Glenn L.
Martin Company who declare that
the system is nov ready for COM
mercial development.
Ontario, Calf: What about the
pronunciation ~Cal-i-forn-yuh." Is
that 'yuh" sanctioned?-I. l. r.
A. Yes. It Is the first choice Of

When q contract appears on the
surface to be foolproof, one should
avoid being lulled into false sense
of security. 1t may be profitable to
take just a moments time out for
the purpose of inquiring, What ac-
cident could possibly befall me?"
In today's hand South became de-
elsrer at a contract of four spades,
and I pass with charitable speed
over Vests overcall which, even IN
view of the lack of vulnerability, has
little to recommend it, North's bid
of one no-trump was probably bet
ter than raising clubs, despite the
fact that he had but a single heart
stopper. A free bid OF one no-trump
denotes a balanced hand with
point count of 10, II or II. In other
words, a hand that rates above the
limit of a one e-no-trump response,
which is nine points, and below the
minimum two-no-trump response,
which is 13. But when South showed
the major suit, he abandoned the
thought of making any further no
trump bids.
The king of diamonds was opened
and taken with the ace. A low spade
lead brought forth the queen. An
other trump lead corroborated the
fact that West held four trumpS. 1t
will be seen that declarer could not
draw all the trumps because he
needed heart trick for game, and
if, trumps were extracted the enemy
could run the diamond suit when
they got in with the ace of hearts.
So declarer led heart to the king
and was somewhat disappointed
when East won the trick. East could
read that his partner was void of
clubs, unless declarer had opened
on a short suit, which, in this case,
%as highly unlikely. He, himself,
had five and dummy had four. West
ruffed the club return and after
cashing the diamond, followed up
with the jack of hearts. There was
no way for declarer to avoid the loss
of another heart trick and he was
down one. Was South guilty of an
indiscretion? Could he reasonably
have avoided the accident?
1t is our belief that declarer had
not exercised the greatest care. 1t
was quite evident that the hand
could not be lost unless the enemy
got in club ruff. The only one who
could possibly ruff was West. The
hand should, therefore, be played in
such a manner that East could not
conveniently obtain the lead. The
hearts should have been attacked
from dummy. When the three of
hearts is led from dummy, If East
ducks, the 10th trick is home, and
trumps may be drawn. If East
rushes in with the ace, he can give
his partner a club ruff, and then
the diamond is the only other trick
the opposition can take.
True enough, it was to be expected
That West held the ace of hearts, but
II he had it he could win the trick,
hit there could be no way for him
to obtain the club ruff and the con-
tract would be assured. That East
had the ace may be regarded as an
accident, but the injury could have
been avoided.

Labor Group Gives Up
Effort 10 Get Bill
Before House Intact
BY the Assoeiotsd Press

Chairman Lesinski of the House
Labor Committee has given up
his efforts to get the Taft-Hartley
repeal bill before the House under
procedure barring amendments
unwanted by the administration.
The Labor Committee approved
the Truman labor bill without
changing it whatsoever-but only
on strictly party line vote. Mr..
Lesinski has been trying to per-
suade the House Rules Committee
to clear the measure for general
House debate under a provision
which would limit amendments to
those approved by the Labor
Committee.
Request Withdrawn.
In effect. Mr.. Lesinski's proposal
would have headed off changes
Republicans and some Southern
Democrats have in mind to block
adoption of the Truman bill. The
administration legislation calls for
replacing the 1947 Taft Hartley
Act with a modernized version of
the New Deal Wagner Act. OPP
ponents want to retain several
features of the 1947 labor law
which unions don't like.
Mr.. Lesinski said he "sensed
feeling" that the Rules Committee
opposed his idea, so he withdrew
the request yesterday shortly be-
fore the group wound up four days
of angry hearings on the matter.
The Rules Committee then sched-
uled another meeting Monday to
decide just how the repeal bill Is
to be brought to the House floor.
Republican members of the
House labor group, meanwhile, got
in some fresh complaints against
the way the measure had been
handled by Mr.. Lesinski.
Nixon Predicts Confusion.
Representative Nixon. Republi-
can. of California said the Labor
Committee had not gone over the
substitute measure properly and
had "abdicated its responsibility"
. "A very serious blow. and I
think a mortal blow. has been
struck at getting from this Con-
gress a balanced, fair piece of leg
islation," be said.
Il predict that the confusion
that will reign on the floor of the
House will be 10-fold greater than
the confusion reigned during con-
sideration of the veterans pension
measure.
Representative Werdell, Repub-
lican, of Ohio, suggested go days
would be needed to clear up all the
issues he said the Labor Commit
tee had failed to thrash out.

of the Carroll enterprises.
Both were killed in a plane

Employment Situation
Appears Better Than
In Last 5 Months
sy tne Assoeiotsd Press

Government officials. scanning
latest unemployment reports. say
the job picture is brighter than it
has been in five months.
These figures encouraged op-
timism:
The Census Bureau said yester-
day the jobless total fell of 81. 900
in March. the first drop in five
months.
2. The March total of persons
having jobs jumped 480 900 over
the February estimates.
3. The Bureau of Employment
Security said the number of
workers drawing unemployment
compensation declined 5000 for
the week ending March 26 from
the total for the previous week.
Secretary Of Commerce Sawyer
said he thinks the rise in unem-
ployment has been stopped.
Robert c. Goodwin. Security
Bureau director, said the unem-
ployment compensation decrease
was the first since last November
and said it indicated the posi-
bility that insured employment
may have passed its peak"
The Census Bureau said its hg-
ures showed that the rising jobless
trend has been halted at least
temporarily" 1t said the appar-
emily favorable showing could be
attributed to a seasonal expansion
of employment in agriculture and
in some industries.
However. it said that despite the
March decline. the unemployment
total is still 727,000 higher than
in March, 1948.
The report that 100000 more
persons found Jobs in March. but
the unemployment figure was cut
only $4,000, was explained by the
Census Bureau this way:
There was a rise in the labor
force" or the people having work
or looking for work. The number
in this force rose from 60,388, 900
in February to 60,814.000 in
March. And most of them found
jobs. The increase in the num-
ber Of persons having jobs was
greater than the decrease in un-
employment because of this rise in
the labor force.
The Census Bureau said 57,647,-
900 persons were employed in
March, and 3.167,000 were unem-
plOyed.
