rrfTTrr' S WHAT AT A Gt^CE
W A S H I N G T Q N - W O R L D
By CHARLES P. STEWART
Central Press Columnist
WASHINGTON, D. C. — Right
after the government reorganiza- United
tion bill’s passage by the
States senate, Senator James F.
Byrnes of South Carolina had his
photograph taken (it was repro
duced all over the country) with a
smile on about half a foot wide.
The senator thought he had a
good right to smile.
As the administration’s recog
i nlze( j spokesman, he was sponsor
for the particular kind of reorgan
ization that President Roosevelt
wants. Everyone has agreed, for
y ears - * hat reorganization Is great
ly needed, but the admimstiation
Byrnes plan has been bitterly at
tacked, on the ground that it takes
too much authority from congress,
to give it to the White House.
• • *
BYRNES’ SKILL
He Tought^or that measure
without rest. He not only fought;
: he placated and connived and
promised and diplomatized.
He did a good job, too.
Except for his managerial skill
the measure never would have
scored a 49-42 senatorial majority.
It was a narrow margin, but it
would have been sufficient if the
task had not been slightly bungled
at the last minute.
* * *
PASSED HOUSE
The bill passed the house of rep
resentatives. It was furiously con
tested there. Nevertheless it got
by. It was not exactly what the
administration or Byrnes desired.
However, the expectation was that
the sought-for amendments would
be made in the senate. They were.
Byrnes attended to that.
And, with amendments, the
thing skimped through.
ANOTHER FURIOUS FIGHT
The next step should have been
to refer the senators’ and repre
sentatives’ somewhat differing pro
grams to a conference committee,
between the two houses, to agree
on a compromise.
Had this been done, the confer
ence committee's report would
have been voted on, by the sen
ators and representatives separate
ly. There would have been no de
bate in either house. Unquestion
ably it would have been approved
mutually.
But, by a parliamentary tech-

Robinson and the woman got up to
leave. When they reached the

AS LONG as Hitler was going
to take over the Austrians he
might have done it sooner and
saved a lot of American hus
bands trying to wrestle with the
new five-suit game of bridge, a
Viennese invention, a lot of head
aches.
! I 1
In Austria the new fifth suit
was and is called "leaves”. In
England the term is "royals”
Americans, if we know them,
especially the men, will give the
fifth suit its proper name—
"nuisances”.
! ! !
To make a game with th new
deck, we are told, the declarer
must take at least 12 tricks—a
little slam, old style! If that
doesn't scare the average bridge
player into retirement, nothing
this side of Ely Culbertson can.
! ! 1
The new 65-card suit certainly
gives the dummy a break. We
understand the new deck takes
so long to play that, unless he
suffers from insomnia, the dum
my should be able to get in a
nice nap of an hour or two.
! t 1
%
Zadok Dumbkopf thinks the
governor should take action.
“Under old style bridge rules,”
Dummy points out, "wives and
husbands occasionally took pot
shots but with this new five-suit
business it’ll need the national
guard to stop the massacre.”
! ! !
We don’t know what the fate
of the new bridge game will
prove to be but we're fairly cer
tain of this, now that five-suit
contract is here it will be much
easier to find folk willing to
play a game of poker, instead.
