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. ▲ J fl) 3 2 *AK 7 8 4 ♦* ? c 4 A 7 kAK 3 8 - | Q « - 7 5 4 * None U) ♦ K 10 T 4 IQJ6 c . 2 4943 ■ ■ 4KQJ2 4 None f J 10 9 8 3 2 49 8 5 *lO 8 6 5 Only East and West were vulner able when South dealt.

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.

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.
