Need for Dispersal
Called Greater Here
Than in Other Cities
Businessmen From All
Over U. S. Attend Tolks
On Attack Problems

! The need for dispersal of in
dustry which in Washington
means Government-is probably
greater" here than in any other
large city, an official of the Cen
eral Services Administration de-
clared today.
Speaking before the business
mems conference on urban prob
lens, j. w. Follin, special assist
ant to the GSA administrator,
said "I do not know of any such
high concentration of industry or
commerce in any other American
CITY,"
The conference, here to con-
slider possible decentralization of
industry and population in event
of enemy attack, is drawing $50
delegates from all parts of the
country.
Locations Not Disclosed.
| Mr.. Follin denied that the dis
persal program for Washington
sets pattern to be followed else
where in the country. He told
the conference that the plan now
before Congress would continue to
use Washington as a central city,
but disperse some Government
agencies to safeguard workers and
the Government itself.
! Specific locations for tanning
out the agencies still have not been
disclosed.
II am an active proponent of
industrial dispersion, but I must
contend that survival of our Fed
eral Government is No. l OBJ
| jective which needs high pri-
ority among our defense activi-
ties" he said.
Foley Fears Imitation.
''It would certainly take several
bombs in a city like Detroit to
destroy productive facilities in a
degree equal to the destruction
which the Atomic Energy Com
mission has pictured could hap
pen in downtown Washington"
| Administrator Raymond M.
Foley of the Housing and Home
Finance Agency, told the confer
ence that the housing program
will be carried forward within
the limits set by national defense
needs and imitation curbs. He
warned there is a "clear and
present danger of imitation"
Mr.. Foley declared: Speaking
specifically of residential con-
struction, the actions taken are
intended to curtail the volume
of new housing starting next year

The spray, Mr.. Mortenson ex-
planned, consists of a stream of

tiny particles of aluminium oxide,

The spray won't harm gums or

said, merely cushion the particles

one to five scars. Some have healed
over, others are raw, bleeding
wounds.
The results of the lamprey inva-
sion are dramatic and tragic. About
1896, the lamprey had become estab-
lished and abundant in Lake Huron,
the first of the Greeat Lakes to
feel the serious effect of the invasion.
The annual catch of 1,720, 900 pounds
of trout, a 40-year record was
dropped to 5000 pounds!
The other lakes are being invaded
fast. The lamprey attaches itself
by means of rasping suckers, drinks
the life blood of its enemy until it
dies, then moves on to another
victim. A female lays an average
of 62,500 eggs. She is an eellike
creature, smooth of skin, about 80
inches long, swims like a snake and
resembles a length of garden hose.
Her color is blush gray, mottled
with yellowish and brownish
blotches. Her circular rasp mouth
is about the size of silver dollar.
The enemy gives every evidence
that they are going to be tough,
and to eradicate them will cost us
plenty. But they have destroyed
millions Of vauable fish to date.

Sea Lamprey.

1t was in 1921 to be exact that,
A. E. Crewe, a Canadian fisherman
brought to the surface a very large
lake trout in death embrace with
a sea lamprey. When the trout
was taken forcibly from the ugly
william it left a bloody eroded scar.
The marine lamprey is not un-
known, nor its deadly habits. This
was the first to be caught in Lake
Erie or anywhere else in the waters
of the Great Lakes above Niagara.
This event was of far greater
moment than we thought. Here
was an enemy caught in the act.
We were given notice that such an
invader could, when multiplied by
vast numbers, wreck our lake trout
fishery.
There was nothing done about
the invasion. No research, no in
cstigation. Today, Lake Michigan
has countless dead trout!
From so to 10 per cent of the fish
taken from the lake are scar marked.
Most of them large fish, those less
than II inches long go free. Many
of the large, handsome fish show

The pass is commonly regarded
as a confession of weakness. More
often than not such a construction
will be sound. Nevertheless, there
are certain clearly defined situa-
tions in which the pass is a plain
announcement of strength.
Such situations develop in COM
petitive auctions when it is evi-
dent that one side has the stronger
holding and the other side Is try
Ing to impede progress. There may
come a point in the bidding when
the holder of a strong hand is un-
decided as to whether to proceed
with the bidding or to double the
opposition.
When vulnerable player chooses
TO double a non-vulnerable opponent,
where no heavy penalty is in sight,
1t is tantamount to his expressing
the opinion that his side is not
strong enough to compete any
further. If such player chooses to
pass the choice to his partner it is
actually a more aggressive bit OF
action than a double, for it an
nounces, in effect, that he believes
there is a chance that it will be
more profitable to go on with the
bidding rather than extract slight
toll from the enemy.
The forcing pass may be made
for quite another reason and in
today's hand from an important
tournament some interesting vari-
ations occurred. The opening bid OF
two hearts was uniformly made and
believe most players responded
with two no-trump. Where East
overcalled with three spades, what
would you do as South? Instinc-
lively, a vast majority of players
would bid four hearts. Actually
that is not the proper procedure
The fact that South is not abso-
lutely sure of making the contract
is only a minor objection. The real
reason is that it is not necessary
for South to decide what to do
The opening two-bid has obligated
both partners to continue until
game is reached (or the enemy
penalize6. If North happens tt
have a spade stopper, no-trump
might be a safer contract than
hearts. Furthermore, the opposi.
ton Is vulnerable and North might
have q sound double of the three
spade contract. Everything is tx
be gained and nothing Is to be lost
by the pass.
When North announced ths

indicate that the adverse suit !!
