PROXYMARRIAGE
IS ‘TOPSY TURVY’
PETITION SEEKING ANNUL.
MENT OF MANSFIELD
MARRIAGE IS FILED
TAUNTON, Mass., July 18 (TP)—
The curtain went up on the last act
of one of the weirdest marriage
dramas ever recorded when a petition
was filed today in the Taunton Pro
bate Court.
The petition seeks the annulment
of the proxy marriage of Herbert H.
Manrfield, Jr., and Gloria Regio.
Mansfield is the young man who last
year persuaded the 15-year-old Gloria
to marry him under the name of
Vesta Isherwood, of Nantucket. Mass
achusetts.
When news of the spurious Mans
field-Irherwood nuptials came out,
Miss Isherwood raised the - complaint
that she positively was not Mansfield’s
bride. Mansfield later confessed the
proxy wedding and explained that he
had married Gloria in an attempt to
make Vesta Jealous. Later, Mansfield
was sentenced to a year in the House
of Correction. He was freed after
serving seven months of his sentence.
Now young Mansfield’s mother is
asking the Taunton Prolate Court to
annul the marriage. Mrs. Mansfield
claimed her son married without her
consent while he was under the legal
age-

Contract
Bridge
STOP PUSHING
IF OPPONENTS are willing to stop
short of a game which they can make,
or. worse yet, if opponents are will
ing to stop short of a slam which
they can make, it is the worst sort
of folly to push them into the contract
that a prudent opponent declines to
venture. North well knew that West
was a very canny player, prompt to
take advantage of any opposing slip,
while East was a cautious bidder, in
clined to underbide. Note what North’s
folly caused.

Only East and West were vulner
able when South dealt. Bidding went:
South, 1-Club, first showing his longer
suit; West, doubled, ready to strongly
push partner's response of any one of
the three remaining suits; North, 2-
Clubs, knowing that East would not
respond over the intervening bid un
less he was strong; East, 2-Spades;
South. 3-Hearts, now showing his
shorter suit; West, 3-Spades, well
knowing North’s tendency to push,
thus affording west an opportunity
to bid game in case East passed;
North, 4-Hearts; East, 5-Diamonds, to
West’s surprise; South was wise
enough to pass; West. 5-Spades, where
bedding would have ended had North
passed; North, 6-Clubs; West, 6-Dia
monds, which East would only have
shifted into 6-Spades had North pass
ed; North, 6-Hearts;’ East, 6-Spades:
West, 7-Spades, being void of clubs
and knowing from opponents’ bid
ding that East muct be void of clubs
and knowing from opponets’ bidding
that East must be void of hearts. Os
course South doubled. He would not
have doubled 6-Spades, knowing how
canny West was.
The opening lead was the Ace of
clubs. Dummy ruffed. Declarer led a
low heart from dummy, and ruffed.
The Q of spades was led. Declarer us
ed his last low trump to ruff a heart.
Two rounds of winning spades pulled
all opposing trumps. Two hearts were
discarded from dummy. The K and
Q of diamonds won the two next
tricks, pulling the last opposing card
of that suit. Declarer's 9 of diamonds
overtook dummy’s 8, leaving East’s
5 of diamonds to win the thirteenth
trick, fulfilling the grand slam con
tract readily.
An opening trump or heart lead
would have made things easier than
any other opening lead. An opening

OLD AGE PROBLEM
IS DISCUSSED BY
SOCIAL LEADER
BANE STATES THREE AL
TERNATIVES FACE
GOVERNMENT
CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va„ July 18
(TP). —Members of the institute of
public affairs heard the executive di
rector of the federal social security
board explain the administration’s
old age pension problems today.
The speaker was Frank Bane, who
heads the New Deal’s administrative
arm which is wrestling with the pen
sion question. Bane said that three
alternatives faced the government in
dealing with the problem.
“First,” said Bane, “the govern
ment could give straight relief to
aged persons in the form of payments
to those in need, in proportion to
their need.
“Second,” the speaker continued,
referring to the Townsend plan, “the
government could hand over a flat
rate gratuity, without reference to
the need of the elderly person. This
proposal has attained some support
but economists question its practica
bility, while sociologists question its
justice.”
Bane went on to explain the third
alternative.
“The third plan,” he said: “Would
apply a principle similar to the in
surance principle. This plan would
establish a system of benefits based
on the former earnings of the pen
sion recipient. Under this plan,
regular monthly payments would be
made to retired workers, not based
on their needs, but based on their
past earhings.”
SECRET SERVICE AGENT
FINED FOR SPEEDING
HAMPTON, N. H., July 18 (TP)
A secret service agent ass.gned to
guard the grandchildren of President
Roosevelt was fined $6 and costs to
day on speeding charges.
The agent is Robert Droney. He
tried to plead immunity from arr:st
because he had been detailed to guard
the children of James Roosevelt, the
president’s eldest son. The Hampton
chief of police, Jerome Harkness said
that Agent Dorney could guard the
Roosevelt children all he wanted co,
but he could not be pirmitted to en
danger the lives of other children by
fast driving through the streets of
Hampton. Droney paid costs of $4.75
in addition to the $5 fine.

lead of South's lowest diamond mlgiw
have defeated the contract. To make
the grand slam declarer would have
needed to ruff two hearts, an have
dummy ruff the second and third
leads of clubs with its J and Q so that
declarer could overtake the 7 of
spades with his 9 to pull trumps. It
is probable that declarer would not
hove thought of this odd trump play.

HOUSE BUILDING
IN LITIGATION
BALTIMORE, July 18 (TP)—The
Socialist leader, Dr. Broadus Mitch
ell, refused to talk about his new home
today.
Mitchell, who is a professor at
Johns Hopkins university, built his
new house in the suburbs of Balti
more among a group of costly resi
dences. His neighbors don’t like the
house at all. A group of 50 of them
appealed to the Baltimore county
commissioners to do something about
it. The neighbors said the house was
built in one day and it was nothing
but a “shack” or a "tourist cabin.”
The commissioners said they would
see what could be done.
Mitchell was asked today to tell his
side of the story. He said: “I’ll be glad
to talk to you about anything else,
but I will not talk about my house.”

COUGHLIN’S ATTACK ON
ROOSEVELT NOT TO
BE DISCIPLINED
NEW YORK, July 18 (TP).—Fa
ther Coughlin’s superior, Bishop
Michael Gallagher, sailed for Rome
today but he denied that he intends
to discuss Coughlin’s political activi
ties in the Holy City.
Bishop Gallagher is the immediate
superior of the Detroit radio priest
in the United States. He left aboard
the Italian liner Rex. He is en
route to Vatican City to see Pope
Plus XI. He denied that the pontiff
had summoned him to talk over Fa
ther Coughlin’s part on the Ameri
can political scene.
In a Transradio interview last
night, Bishop Gallagher rebuked
Coughlin for the priest’s “strong lan
guage,” in a recent attack on Presi
dent Roosevelt. Before the Town
send convention in Cleveland, Father
Coughlin had bitterly condemned the
president as a ‘liar’ and “betrayer.”
While the 70-year-old bishop criticized
Coughlin, he made it plain that he
is not trying to discipline the radio
priest.
“I know Father Coughlin was
speaking under the stress of excite
ment,” Bishop Galagher said. “But
he should have had more respect for
the chief executive. Just because
President Roosevelt said he would do
something and did not, that does not
make him a liar.”
ALLEGED FAKERS
ARE BEHIND BARS
ORANGE, Mass., July 18 (TP)
Samuel Bluestine and his son, Arthur,
are behind the bars again today.
The two New Yorkers were rearrest
ed at Orange after the father paid a
S2OO fine for the illegal practice of
medicine. The son was found not
guilty of the charge.
The new charges were made after
residents of several Massachusetts
towns claimed the Bluestein pair car
ried on a fake eye doctor racket and
mulched them out of thousands of
dollars.
