The. Associated Press 1933) WASHINGTON, —(P)— A new form of bootlegging—illegal wheat millling to escape the processing tax on the grain—has grown to such proportions that a determined drive to end it 1s planned by ‘fedq eral authorities. p ’ Collection of the 30 cents a bushel tax on wheat and enforce ment of the regulations surround ing the levy are the immediate! problem of the Bureau of Internali Revue. .~ The Farm Adjustment Adminis-l ‘tration is vitally concermed, how-| ‘ever, because the proceedsg from the processing tax are dependedl upon to raise funds to pay far.-} [mers who agree to reduce their acreage by 15 per cent next year, ‘ ‘ As indicated by the steady flow of | ‘compamts that has come to the! farm administration, the chief vio \'lator's of the law are growers, whom 'the processing tax was designed to help. ' The wheat farmer was given the privilege of having wheat for his own family use ground into flour tax free. The charge has been made, and repeated from virtually every wheat growing section, that some farmers are having more wheat ground than they need and disposing of the excess, tax-free flour at a profit. Custom millers in some sections are reported to be accepting the ' farmers’ estimates without ques tion, The growers are required by internal revenue bureau regulations to make an affidavit that the cus BLUE EABLE 055 TESTS NRA POWER iGary, Indiana, Restauran ' teur Ordered to Cease " Displaying Eagle WASHINGTON —(AP)=- NRA’s grip on the nation was at a new test Wednesday in the first case of an employer deprived of his Blue, Eagle.

Johnson's command left to the public the final decisior on how much the Blue Eagle means to a store window and bus iness house.

Theory, Method of Assessing Playing Tricks in Hand Discussed by Brannon (EDITOR’S NOTE: This is the second of a series of twen ty special articles written for the Banner-Herald by Robert M. Brannon of New York, a distinguished writer and. lec turer on the common sense of contract bridge). By ROBERT M. BRANNON As was emphasized and explain ed in my first article, in its final analysis contract bridge is a sim ple sum in addition, and a bidding system nothing more nor less than ways and means to fit and join the partnership hands together, at a declaration that will yield the maximum in tricks; and let it always be remembered that at contract bridge you are bidding twenty-six partnership ecards, not thirteen individual cards, and let the guiding prineiple be “in union there is strength,” for united, a partnership stands; divided it falls. \ Contract bridge being a mathe matical equation, that and nothing ‘more, it is abolutely essential tirat tom ground wheat is for their own use and also thai it was grown on their land. Protest has been made, however that in some instances commer cial truck arlvers are signing af fidavits and are receiving the flour for disposition. ~ The Farm Administration be jeves some of the compaints have come from enemies of the pro cessing tax but the widespread re ports have caused concern, Conse quently, plans have been made to offer every cooperation to the bu reau of internal revenue in detect ing violators. No figures are available, officials said, on the extent to which wheat bootlegging has affected receipts from the processing levy. ~ The receipts from the tax in 22 days in July were only $384,00, Of- Ficials said, however. that this low figure had no particular signifi cance since millers were slow to [pay because of unfamiliarity with the tax reglations. - The amount of wheat ground in July and August this year, how ever, was only 15,027,671 bushels as compared to 16,832,609 in the comparative period in- 1932, But again officials assert that these figures are deceptive as mills ran at full capacity before July and August this year because the processing tax was impending. The processing tax on wheat is expected to produce approximate ly $135,000,000. Any substantial re duction in that figure would mean that the treasury would have to ‘he drawn upon to pay for the wheat reduction campaign, PASTOR SHOOTS CHURCH JANITOR Kitling Follows Long Con troversy at Jonesboro, Arkansas JONESBORO, Ark. —(AP)— A murder charge faced the Rev. Dale S. Crowley following the death Wednesday of J. W. Me- Murdro, aged janitor, who was shot by the minister late Tuesday at the Jonesboro Baptist taberna cle, scene of mtermittent distur bances for several months. McMurdro, shot three times in what he declared was ‘“cold blood,” and what the minister said was self defense, died at 8:40 a.m. Crowley, who surrendered im mediately after the shooting which marked his return to the taberna cle to take charge as legal pastor under a court order, was held in jail in another city for safekeep ing. Authorities said a murder charge would be filed against him short- Ive 2 3 The shooting followed two months of controversy and court action between forces. of the church led by Crowley and a group headed by the Rev. Joe Jeffers, evangelist, who has sought to oust Crowley as pastor. ~ Crowley recently won a decision in chancery court which recogniz ed him as the legal pastor and re strained Jeffers’ group from inter fering with Crowley’s tabernacle activities. The pastor, accompanied by a group of followers and carrying a pistol because he said threats had been made against his life, went to the tabernacle Tuesday to take charge. After he ordered McMurdro to leave, Crowley said the janitor fir ed at him once. The pastor sajd the bullet grazed the leg of one of his group, L. H. Kayre who struck McMurdro’s arm with a cane cause ing the shot to go wild. Then Crowley said he began firing. full understanding, not only of the 'Drocesses of trick counting, but equally complete understanding of the theory of card valuation. Hence, this and the succeeding three articles will be devoted en tirely to an explanation of the theory, and the methods of assess ing a hand in terms of playing tricks. All methods of card valuation are based on the laws of averages and probabilities of the deal; and on account of the uncertainties of distribution, it should be obvious that at best it is but an approxi mation, and frequently subject to change without notice. Three Sources of Tricks We are accustomed to value, or visualize a hand chiefly in terms of honor cards. Admittedly, honor cards are the pivotal points of consideration, but there are two other sources of playing tricks of almost equal importance — suit length, and ability to ruff lcsers. SUIT LENGTHS: Suit lengths which yield small, end card tricks, 0.0 MAYSEEK POWER T 0 STEP IN AND HALT STRIKES Johnson Tells Labor That Further Strikes Can Not Be Tolerated ULTIMATUM ISSUED Wrangling Workers Qn Justice Building Brings Notice By CLARENCE M. WRIGHT Associated Press Staff Writer WASHINGTON —(#)— Power to step in and end labor disputes may be asked of Congress by the ad ministration unless organized whrkers settle their own internal digsensions and arbitrate before striking. Such an ultimatum already has been delivered teo two unions— carpenters and ironworkers—which have halted construction work on the Justice Department building in the capital with an argument over which should install radiator en closures, “I have told labor,” said Edward F. McGrady, assistant secretary of labor, “that unless the unions set tle that dispute between themseves and settle it quickly, we will go to Congress when it conveneg in January and ask power for the government to make the declsion in cases -involving federal build ings. | Would Set Precedent ’ “That, of course, would consti tute a precedent for the govern ment later in asgking the power to handle all such cases, whether they involve government bulldings or not, so long as it disrupts bus iness generally.” ' In the local case, McGrady ad ded, the contractor has offered to ‘pa,y both carpenters and ironwork ers and let one crew stand idle and watch while the other puts in tHe radiator enclosures, “His object,” MecGrady said, “Is to finish the job in contract time Yet the dispute is holding up the buildings and absolutely stopping payrolls amounting to thousands of dollars. Somebody should listen to reason” ° | A hint of administration dissat isfaction at continuing labor un rest was given to the American Federation of TLabor convention Tuesday night by Hugh 8. John son, industrial administrator. Quoting Dr. Alexander Sachs NRA economist, as saying there were now fewer strikes than in any other recovery in history, Johnson added: : Strikes Unnecessary ‘" “Labor does not need to strike under tne Roosevelt plan. “From the beginning to the end you are given a complete and highly effective profection of vouy rights. The plain stark truth is that you cannot tolerate the strike, > “Public opinion is the essentia) powen in this country.
