Many In Planning Stage.
A number of buildings which
have been in the planning stage
for some time have not as yet
been started. owing to various
factors, including the cost sit
uation. But, generally speak
ing, Office building projects
have been looked to favorably
by investors owing to the fact
that rents on such space are
not controlled except by the
supply and demand situation,
observers pointed out.
Many Washington offices are
maintained by large corpora
tions needing adequate repre-
sentation in the Nations capital
owing to contacts with the Gov
ernment. Many national trade
associations also consider
Washington the country's most

Santa and the Moqicion

Wiggle Waggle had not stopped

At last Henry caught up. Where
do you live?" he asked breathlessly
"Oh, the Wiggle Waggles are scat

creature. You probably have heard
us honking and never knew what it
was We're usually invisible you

Now Henry could remember many
times lying in his bed at night and
hearing strange noises in the black
house of Mrs. Smell. Had it been one
of the Wiggle Waggles blowing his
nose? he wondered with a shiver.

This sounded very rude to Henry
He started to say that he thought
the Wiggle Waggles should just
forget about it and maybe Santa
would invite them the next time he
had a party. But before he could
say this, the Wiggle Waggle darted
into a cave. When Henry followed
him he very soon saw why Santa

One Wiggle Waggle ran across the

Goren on Bridqe B, cherss H. Gore"

Today there is presented what
we regard as the longest shot Of
the season. The final contract of
four hearts is hardly a sound one
and the fault for reaching 1t is
entirely North's. There was no
justification for his raise to two
hearts with a hand so lacking in
trick-taking power. Without the
sign Of a ruffing value or any other
face card outside the trump suit,
North should have passed. 1t is ex-
tremely unlikely that a game will
be missed by his failure to keep
the bidding open. AS witness, even
with such poWerhouse as South
actually held, there was really no
play for the contract. But it is not
so much my purpose to question
the means as to applaud the re-
suit, so on with the play.
West unfortunately selected the
only lead to give declarer chance,
the ace Of spades. Holding his hand,
I would rather have led trump.
East dropped the queen and the
suit was continued. East won with
the king, but could not reach part
ner's hand to cash the third spade.
He excited with the queen OF dia-
monds. Declarer won, entered dunn
my with a trump and took the club
finesse. He drew the remaining
trumps, cashed the ace of clubs, re-
entered dummy with trump, and
ruffed the last club in his own
hand. He then played the ace Of
diamonds, followed by the nine in
the hope that East would have to
win the trick. This he did, and, haV-
ing nothing left but clubs and dia-
monds, he was obliged to permit
declarer to ruff in one hand as he
discarded the losing spade from the
other.
The nomination of this hand for
the longest shot of the season is
based on the following facts: In
order for declarer to win the hand,
(a) the ace of spades had to be
opened, (b) the spade suit had to
be blocked, (c) the club fnesse had
to win, and I'd East had to have
the high diamonds. That's quite a
parlay.

Laski to speak. A similar invita-

Anfi-Union Plot

MIAMI, Fla. (LPA) - Local
430 of the Int'l Typographical
Union-AFL charged here this
week that this city'S two dailies
the Herald and Daily News
are participating in "a nation
wide publishers plot" to cripple
the Typo union. Miami is one of
16 cities in which printers are
on strike or locked out.
Local 430 said the strike has
already cost the publishers
many more thousands of dollars
than the cost of an acceptable
wage increase to the printers for
full year" Yet they're willing
to run up the loss in an effort to
weaken the union, the local de-
clared. The iniquitous Taft
Hartley law, the local said, has
given the publishers that op-
portunity.
The local also pointed out that
"the deterioration in quality, ac-
curacy and appearance of the
two papers here is noticeable at
first glance to any reader" "It
is the rule rather than the ex-
ception to find from 5 to so glar-
ing errors in any one page of ad-
vertising," the local added.

l.l%o, weekly factory earn
ings went down slightly =
from an average of $54.41
to $54.25. Earnings were lower
because of a reduction in the
number of hours worked in iron
and steel, auto, nonferrous metal
rubber, petroleum and coal, and
lum b er. Weekly hours were
higher in apparel and leather
manufacturing.
The food price drops, which
accounted for most of the de-
crease in the living cost figure,
were especially sharp for eggs
(down 14% in a month";, lard
and margarine, beef and chicken.
Rising costs were reported for
mems and women's wool suits,
fuel and ice, and rents.
In Atlanta, Ca, rents rose 1.5%o
during the past three months, ac-
cording to BIS. Many experts
say that the actual rise was
much greater, because of defects
in the way BIS collects its rent
figures.
With rise in food prices to be
expected in the months ahead,
economists hold out little hope
for any sharp living cost cuts
in coming months. Here's the
amount of change in living costs,
according to BIS, between Feb
ruary 1948 and February 1949:
All item S: up 0.9%o, Food:
