It requires special type of imagi-
nation to visualize the possible
weakness of a hand that has not
made a voluntary bid.
The hand shown today is one Il
saw played some time ago in a 12-
table duplicate and only one pair
obtained the ultimate out of their
cards. The bidding is indicated in
the above diagram and Is worthy of
praise. At most tables when South
responded to the double with two
clubs, North jumped to four of the
suit and South, of course, was fully
justified in going on to five.
Two diamonds and heart had to
be lost and the contract was defeated
q trick. At other tables, North acting
under the spell of the 100 honors
leaped all the way to five clubs and
was doubled. Such bid indicates a
complete lack of imagination. North
must never lose sight of the possibil-
ity that South might have nothing.
He was forced to bid and his response
merely indicates some length in the
suit shown. That an 11-trick con-
tract was not within reach against
the opening bid, unless South held
definite values, should have been
apparent to North.
North's proper bid after South's
response is merely three clubs. This
may appear to be drastic under
bid, but in point of fact is actually
not so. There is an implied sugges-
ton that If South can stop the heart
suit three no-trump may be attain
able. It states, Partner, even if you
have nothing, am willing to assume
q nine e-trick contract with clubs as
trump. If you have any values at
oil I'd like you to try for game"
South holding a double stopper in
hearts should bid three no-trump
regardless of the singleton spade.
North's double followed by his sub
sequent strong bidding indicates
very plainly that he has some values
in the spade suit. The taking OF
10 tricks at no trump was merely
routine. The same number OF tricks
were available with clubs as trump.
Remember we indorse the slogan
"Takeout doublers should underbid
--Responders should overbid."

ner. Members are under intense
personal pressure to adjourn
speedily and go home. They see
their bank accounts melting
away.
Put yourself in the place of
a young electrical contractor l

has to pay his living costs IN the
capital and support his house
hold at home, but also hire a
skilled man to carry on his busi-
ness while he's gone.
Past Week
YET the states business must
be transacted. Taxes must be
levied and policies decided. When
l served in the Oregon House
of Representatives before the
war, we rushed through bills in
the closing days that not more
than two or three of us had read.
And they affected such vital
matters as Columbia River
water power and the COM
mitment Of insane persons.
What is the solution? The
Council of State Governments, a
national organization, recon-
mends that legislators in all 48
states be paid an annual salary
in keeping with their response
bilities. This would enable them
to spend time on state problems
all the gear around, rather than
only while the legislature is in
session. As it is now, many men
and women go to our state
capitals wholly uninformed on
the great issues they must settle.
TSmaes Have ChaM4ed
In "a states the pay of legis-
lators is fixed by the state
constitutions. Some of these
constitutions were written in
pioneer times when a hotel room
was 50 cents a night and a
chicken-hver breakfast cost a
quarter. The Council of State
Governments believes legislative
salaries should be set by statute
so they may be varied with
economic changes as they occur.
But, basically, the long-range
answer is for the average citizen
to take a more immediate in
terest in the government closest
to him and his family, the

government of his state. Not
only the pay of legislators needs
correcting. Seven dollars for a
secretary fails to compete with
the far higher wages she can
receive from the Federal govern
ment. 1 couldn't get u COM
potent stenographer to 60 to
the legislature until u family
friend volunteered to do it
''for the expcrience." Like
her boss, she is losing money hv-
ing at the capital.
Furthermore, virtually all
state legislative districts IN
America require reapportion-
ment. But the citizen, with his
eyes on distant Washington.
DC, has failed to see that this
is done. Our legislature has not
been reapportioned since 1910.
As a result, although the state
constitution requires that all
senators represent equal num-
bers of people. ! have 78,lO
constituents while a member a
few rows away has 7,268.
Prep ScAsel fos Presidents
VIZ NEGLECT our legislatures,
yet we expect them to furnish
our national leaders of the future.
Washington and Jefferson were
members of the colonial legisla-
ture of Virginia. Abraham
Lincoln served in the Illinois
state legislature for seven years.
Theodore Roosevelt and
Franklin D. Roosevelt gradu-
ated from the New York legisla-
tme at Albany. Mention a
prominent u. S. senator and
the chances are he began his
career rs a state legislator.
Lately Congress has been oc-
cupied with raising the pay of
the President and other national
government officials, in line with
the rise in salaries in private
business. But there's been little
talk about the far more overdue
pay rises for state legislators. A
notable exception is Michigan,
where legislative salaries have
been increased from three dollars
a day to 2,4OO a year. Let's
hope this is a straw IN the wind.

Pennsylvania Auto
With 7 Men Sought
In Berwyn Staying

Detectives trying to solve the
bold daylight Staying and robbery
of Berwyn filling station attend
ant pinned their hopes today on
finding two suspects riding in a
Pennsylvania car.
The men for whom a lookout
has been broadcast by Prince
Georges County police were OBJ
served leaving the murder scene
at high speed shortly before the
victims body was discovered
Tuesday. They are colored. Po-
lice said they were reported to be
in a black Pontiac with Pennsyl-
vania licenses.
Meanwhile, arrangements were
completed for the funeral of the
victim. Winston c. Clay, jr.. 18,
of 1900 Wells parkway, College
Park. The services will be held
at noon tomorrow at the Gasch
funeral home, 4739 Baltimore ave-
nue., Hyattsville. and burial will
be in Fort Lincoln Cemetery.
Struck by Two Bullets.
The popular son of a Berwyn
real estate dealer was slain in
the washroom of the Kirwan
service station, 1915 Baltimore
avenue, Berwyn. Two .22-caliber
bullets struck him in the chest
and pierced his heart.
Detectives Richard A. Pearson
and Charles N. Thomson reported
yesterday that they definitely
established robbery as a motive.
Approximately $120 was missing
from young Clay's person when
his body was found. the detectives
said.
In the hope of speeding a solu-
ton to the crime, Albert l.. Kir-
wan, the slain youths employer.
offered $500 reward to the ger
son who furnishes information
leading to the arrest and convic-
ton of the slayer.
Detective Thomson said the two
suspects now sought were seen
by a motorist driving north on the
traffic -clogged boulevard. For q
while the motorist attempted to
follow the men. but finally he gave
up. He could not get their license
number, police said.
The detectives have discussed
the case with dozens of people but
have not yet talked to any one
they regard as a real suspect. Yes
terday they questioned 27-year-
old man who was arrested in the
District because he had been talk
ing about the Staying, but released
him quickly.
Alone at Station.
According to police, young Clay
was tending the filling station
alone Tuesday morning. He had
q company bank" of $40. which
he carried in a side pocket Of his
trousers and in a coin changer.
In addition, he had about $50 Of
his own money. carried in wallet
which was in his left hip pocket.
His body was discovered about

by checking sales registered. the
police determined that the slayer
took $120. Detectives theorized
that the assailant overlooked the
personal wallet and probably
ignored the coin changer in his
haste to get away from the scene.

years the entire district would

He asked that a committee be

seemed to run along the 1854 foot

said that the cline of take ran

mated that six or seven of his
ten acres lay inside the land to
be acquired.
Col. Whipple said the river
would settle at a constant level
of 33S-34O feet. Flucuation in
normal flood seasons would
amount to only "a couple of
