Bankhead Jury Of
Shopping for Dope
by sbs As.eeioted Pres.

NEW YORK, Dec. 27.-The
adopted daughter Of Tallulah
Eankhead's former maid-secre-
tary says q shopping trip for the
actress was,a search for ''blouses.
sHacks. shoes, medicine and mari
juana."
but q State objection cut the
shbpping list short at this point
ASH 2l-year-old Josie Pearson
Cronin testified yesterday at the
trial Of her foster mother. Mrs.
EvyAeen Cronin.
The 59-year-old Mrs. Cronin is
charged with forgery and larceny
fof raising the figures on Miss
Biankhead's checks. The trial to-
day enters its 18th court day be-
Z fore an all-male general sessions
jury.
Miss Cronin, a pretty red-haired
girl, took. the witness stand to
tell how she shared her foster
mothers duties as Miss Bank
heads employe.
Remark Taken Off Record.
First the young witness told
of one shopping trip she made
with the defendant for Miss Bank
head. Then, under questioning
by Defense Attorney Fred g.
Moritt, Miss Cronin said in April,
1850, Miss Bankhead asked me
to get cocaine"
Assistant District ATTORNEY
Jerome Kidder vigorously OBJ
Jected a second time and Judge
Harold Stevens ordered the CO.
calne remark stricken from the
record.
In a high, girlish voice. Miss
Cronin gave this description of
the duties she shared with her
foster mother in the Bankhead
household:
We were maids. We did the
cooking. cleaning the house, buy
ing and shopping, fixing up the
guests. Y We did everything for
her. I also did the maid work at
the theater. cleaned her dressing
room and made the changes for
her in the theater."
Three Days on Stand.
- Miss Cronin testified after her
foster mother completed three
days on the witness stand. Mrs
Cronin has admitted raising the
.ehecks by about $4,000, but said
She did so to get back money
already paid out for the actress,
expenses.
Included in the expenses. Mr.
Mor1tt has said, were "marijuana
booze, cocaine and SEX"
When Miss Bankhead was q
State witness at the trial. this
line OF questioning was curtailed
and she gave no testimony in
court on the implications. How
ever, outside the court Miss Bank
head denied the statements and
said they were intended to make
her refrain from taking a part in
the trial.

Contract Bridge
By CuIbertson

(copyrisht. 1851, BY Ely Culbertson.)
When the average player be-
comes declarer at a three-no- trump
contract, his first and perhaps only
consideration is to establish the
longest suit in his own hand or
dummy. This is usually good idea,
but it should certainly not be made
an invariable practice! The follow
ing deal portrays typical "excep-
ton:

West opened the spade queen.
Declarer took one look at the dunn
my, made a rapid comparison Of
the diamond and club suits, with
obvious disparagement to the latter.
and forthwith let the diamond ten
ride for a finesse. East grabbed
the trick and returned a spade
and that was in effect the end Of
the matter. South could win only
four tricks in diamonds, two In
spades and two in hearts; he could
not cash in a club trick to fulfill the
contract.
Unquestionably, the combined
diamond suit was greatly superior
to the club suit, but South's deci-
sion to start the diamonds instead
OF the clubs was grievous mistake.
If the diamond king was on side,
OOuCLI COuIu always VIII IlVe GTlCkS
in the suit, but if it wasn't, the
immediate diamond f1nesse would
be fatal, whereas a different line
Of play would have an excellent
chance.
At the second trick, South should
have led low club toward dummys
queen. Consider the possibilities of
this play. If West had the club
ace and put it up, South would
then have very good chance to
run the rest of the club suit with
out loss, and he would need only
the diamond ace for his ninth trick.
If West, holding the ace, played low,
the queen would win, and now
South could safely establish the
diamonds. Finally, if East had the
club ace and smothered the queen.
South would still have his chance
In diamonds.

Affidavit May Clear Man in Old Murder Case

SALEM, ORE, Sept. BE Theodore Jordan has been in pris- on here for Is years. And now the parole board has an affidavit which says he had nothing to do with the murder for which he is serving life.
 The board IS studying the affi- davit. It is not yet ready to com ment on it.
 It came from Mrs. Alice Gilbert Borden of Chicago and says her husband, Sears Gilbert, now dead told her he killed F. T. Sullivan at Klamath Falls in 1882. That is the crime for which Jordan twice was sentenced to hang and for which he now is serving life.
 Mrs. Borden's affidavit, made nearly a score of years after Sul- livan, a Southern Pacific steward was beaten to death as he slept in his berth in the rail yards at Klamath Falls, says Jordan had no part in the killing of which ht was convicted.

Direct Government
 Home Loans to vets Are Approved Again

Conditions under which World War II veterans may finance home ownership with the aid of GI loans have been eased considerably by provisions in the new Defense Hous- ing Act, approved recently by the President, according to Ernest E. Lincoln, manager of the Veterans Administration for Alaska.
 The new law:
 1.-Reduces substantially the min imum down payment required on homes priced up to $12,000.
 2-Makes eligible for additional home loan guarantees many vet erans who previously used all or part of their guaranty entitlement for home, farm and business loans.
 3-Revives the direct government loan program for veterans in areas where 4 percent mortgage financ- ing is unavailable from private sources. This last provision of the law is of particular importance to veterans living in rural and less populated areas, the VA said.
 The direct loan program, orig inally authorized by the Housing Act. of 1850 to continue only until June 20, 1851, is extended to June 30, 1853.
 No additional funds are made available beyond the 150 million dol lars originally provided for the pro- gram, but the new law, by removing the limit on the total of direct loans which might be made, makes possible the reuse of the authorized funds as a revolving fund.
 Thus, payments made to apply against direct loans and proceeds from the sale of direct loan mort gages to private investors will go into the fund and become available for new loans.
 Currently, about 39 million dollars remains available for the making of direct loans, the balance of the 150 million dollars originally pro- vided. Direct loans have been ap- proved for some 17,000 approved 
 The amount remaining will fin ance six to seven thousand addition al loans, the VA said

|n0eased Village Requested by Sehoo! DislFiGf

The Juneau Independent School Districts request for an increase in tax levy will come up at a reg ular City Council meeting next Thursday at 8 pm. in the city clerks office at the city dock.
 The request was laid over from the meeting last week.
 The school board asked that 1t be permitted to levy up to an ad- ditional one-half mill in order to balance it's budget. The current levy is eight mills.
 A letter from the board explains, since preparation of the school budget last May, increased costs on bids and action of the School District Board of Equalization have caused changes in amounts need ed"
 The letter listed increased cost on installation of a home econ- omics room in the new addition to the high school, $5,023.81; bid in- crease on grade school bulkhead, S7,730; and tax abatements, $9,- 12295, .totalling $2l,87676.
 Available from funds is S12,7OO, leaving balance needed of $9,- 17676.
