Moderate tem- ON FREIGHT RATES Five Witnesses Heard and Cross-Examined At Closing Session Wednesday Five witnesses were heard and cross-examined Wednesday afternoon as examiners of the Interstate Com- merce Commission closed a three-day hearing here on the request of rail- roads for increases in commodity class freight rates between North Da- kota and eastern points. They were Irwin Huseby, traffic manager of the Northwest Retail Lumbermen’s association, Minneapo- lis; Theodore Quanrud, Bismarck au-; tomotive supply dealer; Dr. Alva H. Benton, agricultural economist of the state agricultural college at Fargo; Charles F. Martin and E, M. Hend- ricks, chief statistician and traffic ex- pert, respectively, of the state rail- road commission. The examiners announced the hear- ing will be continued at Minneapolis Friday, Sioux Falls, S, D.. March 1, Kansas City March 6 and later at Chicago and other points. i Following the hearings there will be printed briefs, proposed report of examiners and exceptions to the re- port and oral arguments will be heard at Washington, D. C. No decision in the case is expected before six months, In the three days here a score of North Dakota businessmen and rep- resentatives of the state railroad com- mission testified in the state's fight against the carriers’ proposals. They testified that North Dakota business benefitted noticeably when the pres- ent rate structure became effective Dec. 3, 1931, that a boost in rates now would be damaging, and that the pro- posed raises would nourish the al- ready thriving automobile transporta- tion to the detriment of the railroads. ‘At the closing session, Dr. Benton was cross-examined at length on his economic conclusions by Conrad Ol- son, general attorney for the North- ern Pacific Railway company. Mar- tin was cross-examined on his exhi- bits by F. C. Sharood, assistant gen- eral auditor of the same railroad. 23,439 Examinations Made in North Dakota Examinations made by North Da- kota state public health laboratories during 1932 totaled 23,439, according to the annual report just released. ‘The examinations were conducted 1 Weather Report t eesti ie For Bismarck and vicin! lly fair tonight and Frid change in temper- ature. | For North Da-) kota: General ly fair tonight and Friday; slightly colder north-cen- tral portion to- night.

BUDGET IS SLASHED RACT IDGE ote. BR EXPERTS PLAY IT 22 BY WM. E. McKENEY Secretary, American Bridge League In my two previous articles I ex- plained to you that the second con- structive bid, unless @ forcing bid, 4s not in itself forcing. However, the third constructive bit ing bid, and it is after the third con- structive bid that the partner must be extremely careful. If his response is constructive then the partnership has decided S. go go to game, he should make a sign-off @ game. If he is not prepared bid, and the only sign-off bid that he can make is to re-bid any suit previ- ously bid by the partnership. Now let us take up a few exam- ples. The original bidder bids one heart —partner responds with two clubs, a constructive response. The original bidder then bids two diamonds. This is the third constructive bid and it is therefore forcing. Partner then responds with two no trump. This bid of two no trump is not a sign-off bid due to the fact that partner did not bid no trump to sign the hand off at his first op- portunity. ‘Therefore, it must be treated as a prec tae agd bid. * Now the original bidder knows that he and his partner must not pass until a game contract is reached. If the original bidder were now to bid three hearts, he would be stating, hearts and dia- monds, hearts is the stronger. I prefer to play the hand as a game in hearts.” The re-bid of hearts is a sign-off bid. However, it is not a game sign- off bid, due to the fact that the has already agreed that they will go game. Therefore, what is the original bidder attempting to ? Simply that he is only interested in a game and not a slam. However, if| thal he were to respond with four hearts, remember there was no necessity of him jumping to game, therefore the jump to four harts is an additional constructive bid and states: “Part- ner, not only am I interested in a game in this hand, but I would also lke to try for a slam if you have any additional values.” However, remember that this fifth constructive bid is not a forcing bid —it is simply a slam invitation. Here is another interesting exam- ple. The original bidder opens with one heart. The left hand opponent ove! with one spade, the partner of original bidder now bids one no trump. ‘This bid of one no trump is not a sign-off bid. The sign-off bid would have been to pass, as the bidding has been kept open for partner and there is no need to put in the bid of one no trump unless it is construc- tive. Therefore, it becomes the sec- ond constructive bid. Supposing the original bidder now bids two clubs. If the partner were now to respond with two diamonds he would be making the fourth con- structive bid and this would become the game force. The bid of two dia- monds would also be telling the orig- inal bidder that he would like to play the hand at no trump. i ee % If the original bidder were to re- spond with two no trump, he would then be saying: “All right partner, let’s play the hand for a game at no trump.” However, if he were to jump to three no trump, not only would he be stating that there was a game in the hand, but he would be making a mild slam try. You can readily see how flexible/ this type of bidding is. A player may} @ mistake in one of his re- sponses, but in the constructive sys- tem of bidding a player must make id becomes a forc- two mistakes before he gets the part- trouble. nership into any serious In the next article I will explain some of the forcing responses in the constructive one-over-one system of bidding.
