INDUSTRY CABINET CONSIDERS WAYS 0 LIFT BUYING POWER Johnson and Aides Open Hear- ing on Electrical and Ship- Building Codes ‘Washington, dent Roosevelt's industrial cabinet board was summoned into a special meeting Wednesday to press toward completion plans for voluntary but swift lifting of all business and in- dustrial buying power. | So this group worked on while Hugh | 8. Johnson's aides sought a quick fin- ish to hearings beginning Wednesday on two fair competition codes, one proposed by the clectrical manufac- turing and the other by the ship- building and ship-repair industry. | In these, shipbuilders recommend- } ed a 40-hour work week and minimum wages of 35 cents an hour in the south | and 40 cents in the north; the elec- | trical industry suggested a 36-hour] week and a 35-cent an hour minimum wage for factory labor with a 40- hour week and $14 weekly minimum for other workers. Secretary Roper presided over the cabinet board's considerations of what may become the president's third bulletin of regulations under the recovery act. The plan is intend- ed to cover the country quickly with agreements for wage raises and few- er hours pending establishment of more elaborate codes fixing these lim- itations. Crops Deteriorate In Many Sections Washington, July 19. — (®) — The weather bureau in its weekly crop) bulletin said Wednesday that bene- ficial showers occurred during the} past week in the western part of the corn belt from North Dakota to Kan- sas and that the corn crop made fa- vorable progress, Farther south it described condi- tions as remaining decidedly unfavor- able, especially in Oklahoma, where ity said “corn is mostly burnt up except. on some bottom lands.” In Iowa progress was fair except in late fields and in an area where chinch-bugs have been active, | In the spring wheat belt the bureau said many fields of both oats and) wheat are being cut for hay because of failure to produce grain worth har- vesting. In Minnesota many wheat fields are being cut with mowers on account of short straw. In Montana unfavorable heat and dryness resulted in further deterior- ation and abandonment of unirrigat- ed crops. N. D. Convict Turned ‘ Over to California Upon his release from the North Dakota state penitentiary here Tues- day, Randall Johnson, alleged to have escaped from a California convict Toad gang, was placed in custody of P. E. Richardson of San Quentin peni- tentiary, California. Richardson planned to return John- son to California to face fugitive charges. Johnson has served a year in the North Dakota prison after his con- viction on a charge of attempted ar- son. Johnson's crime occurred at Leith. He was sentenced from Grant county.

D., July 17, 1933, Editor, Tribune: You are doing the reading public a real service when you run editorials like the one appearing in today’s pa- per entitled “Commodity Money .” The disaster which has fallen upon the farmer and the clos- ing of thousands of banks are direct- ly traceable to this evil of fluctuating commodity values. Many eminent economists, with Professor Irving Fisher of Yale at the head, have been advocating this change in our monetary management for many years. If President Roosevelt has the cour- age to go through on this program it will be the first serious attempt to stabilize money. Under the proposed plan debts will be easier to pay. ‘In- surance benefits upon endowment Policies and annuities will have a more stable value. This is for the reason that we will have a stable measuring stick to guide the borrower. Under the new plan it will not be 80 easy as in the past to get rich quick. Perhaps our country will be better off, however, with the great rank and file assured of stable values instead of a few holding the privilege of becoming immensely wealthy through the manipulation and fluc- tuation of values of various commod- ities. You would do your readers a Teal service to print some of the rea- sons urged by the economists advis- ing Roosevelt in his monetary pro- gram. Yours truly, Alfred 8. Dale. Editor's Note: From time to time The Tribune has printed arguments for com- modity money as well as the gold etendard. We will print more as the subject waxes warm. i July 19.—(P)—Presi- Filipinos Greet New Governor Frank J. Murphy, former mayor of Detroit and new governor-general ot the Philippines, is shown here as he received the salute of the Philippine guard of honor upon his arrival in Manila to begin his duties. Beside him is Col. Charles W. Exton, chief of staff of the Philippine department. CONTRACT BRIDGE ax the EXPERTS PLAY IT 3 Aen ( I often wonder if there are not too | many players who depend upon math- ematics too much in contract bridge. Some players add up the number of quick tricks that they locate in the combined two hands and if they hold so many they figure they can make | game, while another definite figure | tells them that they can make a | slam. j I have seen hands with six quick | tricks which produced only seven or | eight playing tricks—and again I have seen hands with only two or threc | quick tricks that will produce game or even a slam. | Far better than the mathematical | percentages are the inferences to be | gained from the bidding. Let us take the following hand. The Bidding South, the dealer, opened the con- tracting with one diamond. While he has a hand strong in quick tricks, and with tenace positions, he cannot bid a no trump, as he holds a single- ton. West passed, and North made a one over one forcing bid of one spade. East overcalled with two hearts— although it was ari ideal spot for the negative double. After the two-heart bid, South jumped to three spades. West supported his partner's bid to four and North made a free bid of four spades. With this information South went to six spades. The Play East opened the king of hearts, which held the trick. He then shifted to the ten of diamonds, which the de- clarer won with the king. If the. de- clarer could find the spades divided two-two, he knew that he was going to have no trouble in making his con- MeKENNY @A-Q-6-3-2 | HK-J-2 | tract. However, if they were not di- | vided, where could he expect to find the three spades? Remember that West supported his partner to four hearts. What could he have to justify this bid? He does not hold the ace or king of clubs, the ace, king or queen of diamonds, the ace or king of spades, or the king of hearts. Therefore it would seem that the only justification in his four-heart bid was the fact that he originally held four or five hearts, and either a void or singleton spade. The declarer should first lay down his king of spades and then play a small spade. When East plays a small spade, the declarer should take the finesse in dummy, which of course is good, and he now has the rest of the tricks. (Copyright, 1933, NEA Service, Inc.) Bares Tryst to Halt Execution Rather than remain silent and permit two negro youths to be executed for a murder she says they did not commit, Mrs. Mil- dred M. Bonnie, above, of Cin- cinnati, revealed her tryst with a married man and thereby won a 30-day reprieve for them a tew hours before they were to be electrocuted at Ohio’s pent- tentiary. Mrs. Bonnie said she and her escort were in Silver- town, O., on the day a bank cashier was murdered in a hold- up and that the two convicted youths were not the ones she saw running from the bank. Sparrows sold for as high as $1 apiece at one time. |Corn, Hog Producers | Ask Federal Program | Des Moines, Ia., July 19.—(?)—Corn. |and hog producers of 10 midwestern states were on record Wednesday in |favor of taking measures to include | their industry in the national program | of recovery. | Rumored differences and predictions of dispute failed to manifest them- selves when 76 delegates representing the 10 corn, belt states Tuesday pass- ed resolutions pledging their coopera- tion and named a committee of 25 to carry out their progrfam if a con- ference Thursday with representatives | of the packing industry in Chicago.

At/ the age of nine he went to work for his brother, who paid him as many| dollars a month as the boy was years| old. This rate of pay continued until | he was 14, when his family removed | to Iowa and the future Congressman began the task of supporting himself. | Up to that time he had had little) schooling and resumed his studies at; an academy at Decorah, Iowa, finish- | ing with a course at an institute at) Janesville, Wis. | Meanwhile he continued to work and before he was 19 purchased a farm in Worth county, Iowa. His frugal habits enabled him to accum- ulate a surplus of $50, which he loaned out at interest. This transaction and others similar to it impressed Haugen with the possibilities of a banking business and in 1890 he became one of the organizers of the Northwood Banking company, operating banks at Northwood and Kensett, Iowa. He had since been president of the com- pany. Held Two State Jobs Before entering the lower house of congress he served two terms as treas- urer of Worth county and two terms in the Iowa house of representatives. Entering the race in 1898 for the Re- publican nomination for congress from the fourth Iowa district he had the hardest fight to win the designa- tion ever experienced by an Iowa con- gressman. After his first term he continued to be re-elected to each succeeding congress until he had Successful Farming, 1 Year Value $6.75. Woman’s World, 1 Yr. Good Stories, 1 Yr. and radio range signals.

The fourth district Republican con- vention of 1898 took 365 ballots before the deadlock was broken and Haugen nominated. The result brought to a close the political career of Thomas Updegraff, who had represented the district for four terms. Eventually becoming chairman of the agriculture committee, Represent- ative Haugen sponsored much impor- tant legislation relating to the farm- ing industry including, besides the farm relief measure, the packer con- trol and stockyards act. In October, 1885, Haugen married Bertha Elise Everson of Winneshiek county, Iowa. They had two children. Mrs. Haugen died in 1892.

Citizens Held In Military Jail Without Trial After Trouble Madrid, July 19.—()}—United States Ambassador Claude G. Bowers ex- pects to confer Thursday with Manuel Azana, Spanish premier and war min- ister, about the case of five Americans who have been held in jail in Palma, Mallorca, more than a month. A set- tlement is 5 % No formal charges have been made, but officials explained the case is one for the military department since the civil guard which the Americans ale legedly attacked in a cafe, is a mem~ ber of the military organization. Bowers advised the Spanish foreign minister that unless the Americans were tried or released on bail the case might result in unpleasant publicity. Those held are Mr. and Mrs. Clin ton B. Lockwood of West Springfield, Mass.; Rutherford Fullerton of Col- umbus, O.; Roderick F. Mead of New York, and Edmund W. Blodgett of Stamford, Conn. (The state department in Washing- ton ordered Claude Dawson, American Consul General at Barcelona, to go to Palma immediately to help the Americans. Dawson on a previous trip was unable to induce Spanish authorities to bring them to trial. Acting Secretary of State Phillips for the second time yesterday asked Ambassador Cardenas of Spain for Prompt action in the case. Phillips expressed deep concern and the ams bassador said he would advise his gove ernment of the American govern- ment’s attitude. ‘The body of Emperor Frederick the Great was not embalmed because of his expressed wish; two regimental . surgeons bathed the body and pree pared it for interment, Delayed?
