| $3.50 900 Is Saved
District on Bids
For Sewer Job

A $150,00o ray of sunshine is shin
ing through the Districts otherwise
dismal financial prospect, Engineer
Commissioner Gordon r. Young
disclosed last night.
That is the amount of money,
Gen. Young said, the District has
, saved on planned additions to the
Sanitation Departments Blue
Plains sewage disposal plant. The
saving is possible because bids re-
ceived last week for the project are
$150000 less than had been expected.
: When the 1850 budget went to
Congress, an item of $350,000 was
included to pay for the additional
fsludge tanks at Blue Plains. 1t now
will be possible, Gen Young said, to
cut the appropriation to 100000

Soliciting by Police
In Boys Club Drive
To Begin Tuesday

Metropolitan policemen will begin
soliciting memberships in the Police
Boys Club Tuesday, Wash B. VIII
liams, general chairman of the cam
paign, announced today. The
month-long drive for s250,00O will
be held during February.
Mr.. Williams said the Commis-
sioners have given full approval to
the plan for door-to-door canvass
ing by policemen for 81 member
ships-or more-for the club.
Last years goal, which was over
subscribed, was $125, 900 and it was
explained that one reason for the
quota being doubled this year is
the construction of the new club
house at 816 Sixth street S.W.,
which was built at a cost Of $780,
600. Other reasons are a plan to
have a club in each of the IA police
precincts, q new camp for colored
members in Southern Maryland and
an increase in membership from
13,000' to 1900 in the last year.
There now are seven clubs.
Supt. of Police Robert j. Barrett,
honorary campaign chairman, has
named Inspector Clarence Talley to
head and coordinate canvassing in
the precincts. The Traffic Division
also will convaSs the city.
Robert C. Simmons, president of
the boys club, who has served as
campaign chairman during the last
two drives, urged the public to sup
port the campaign.
Unless we reach this goal" he
said, "our hope of a clubhouse in
each of the IA precincts will not
be realized and our plans to ex-
pand our activities will fail. I'm
sure the public, knowing what we
are doing for more than 1900 men,
bers, will respond generously"

'Pro-CathoIic Party
Beaten on Mexico Ban
ky the Assoc;eted Press


MEXICO CITY, Jan. 2s.-The
rightist sinarquistas lost a quick
legal battle today to avoid being
outlawed.
Leaders of the militant pro-
Catholic organization asked federal
court for an injunction against last
nights executive order ruling them
illegal. The court turned down the
petition.
The Interior Department Cancelled
= the registration of the Sinarquista
political party Fuerza Popular
popular Force on grounds that it
is undemocratic. The democratic
state can permit every liberty except
that of stabbing liberty itself" the
order said.
The lengthy executive decree or
dering the outlawing, charged that
the movement was dominated by
the Catholic Church, was connected
with the Falance, official party of
spain's Gen. Francisco Franco and
carried on "subversive activity"
among Mexican farmers.
1t said that though there is not
sufficient evidence to link it directly
with the Falange, "it is an mex
cusable fact that the Sinarquista
program absolutely comedies with
Fascist doctrine. Evident also are
, trips abroad by former Sinarquista
leaders to attend important foreign
centers of Fascist education"
The Sinarquistas once claimed
1000, 900 members, but divisions
among the chiefs" has split the
movement and discouraged many.
They now are estimated to have
100000 active followers.
Though leaders and members are
Catholics, the Mexican Catholic
church has disclaimed any con-
nection with the Sinarquistas.

ARIZONA TOAD

During the summer, giant toads
make their way across the desert
sands. The fat fellows fiatten them
selves to the ground and avoid high
jumps:
These toads reach adulthood on
their fifth birthday. They prefer

those made by the California rela-

and over until you become accus-

octaves higher. Usually you are un-

MosC beginners at bridge display
tendency to ruff promiscuously
whenever they find q short suit in
their own hand. They engage in all
sorts of contortions to enter dummy
for the sole purpose of ruffing some
nondescript card with trump that
Is good for one trick and only one
any time they choose to take it.
They don't seem to realize that six
solid trumps will produce only six
tricks and they cannot be converted
into seven by using one of the six
for ruffing purposes. Now, when the
short suit is in dummy and an ad-
ditional trick can be made by using
one Of dummy's trumps separately,
that's another matter. But so per-
verse is human nature at times that
the short suit in dummy is more fire.
quenly neglected by the neophyte In
the rush to get out the trumps.
AS the player progresses he learns
to ruff in dummy, but to avoid as
far as possible doing so in the closed
hand. This, too, may turn out badly,
because for playing purposes it is not
always easy to tell which is the
closed hand and which is the dummy.
Where trumps can be drawn with
high trumps from either hand, that
hand should be treated as dummy,
for purposes of play, which contains
the shortest side suit. That hand
should be used for ruffs and the
other for drawing trumps.
Today's hand is a good example.
The final contract is a sound one,
though you may not approve Of the
method of getting there. I, for one,
have no objection to it. Though
the South hand contains only IL
points (21a honor tricks and no
five-card suit, it is an acceptable
opening bid because of the attrac-
tive 4-4-4-1 distribution. While a
count of IA points renders a hand
q mandatory opening bid, never
theless hands counting IL or 13 may
be opened if they have the feel"
That is to say, if 1t will be easy to
make q second bid. After North's
takeout, South's rebid of one spade
Is preferable to one no-trump. In
asmuch as it is cheaper, it promises
no additional values North's jump
to six diamonds Is a good gamble.
About the only type of hand on
which there would be no play for
the contract would be something
like: AAQxx 2Qx KJ10x
&Qxx, remote holding.
The jack of spades was opened,
taken by the king and three rounds
of trumps drawn. The ace of spades
and a ruff followed and the last
spade discarded on the king of
hearts. But when the clubs failed
to break, declarer had to give up two
tricks. Declarer should have treated
his own hand as dummy and used
dummy's trrlmps for drawing
purposes.
It will be noted that the South
hand contains the shortest suit
(hearts) and that hand should be
used for rufB. The opening lead
should be won with the ace. A high
heart should be cashed, followed by
the ruff of a low heart in the South
hand. Then come the. king and ace
of trumps and the remaining small
heart trumped in the closed hand
The North hand is entered with the
