M. W. Sprague to help build up the “aroused and organ- ized public opinion” he said was neces- sary to keep federal fisca! policies from bringing “unrestrained infla- tion.” The searcn was rather difficult be- cause of the ruling by the new treasury chief, acting Secretary Henry Morgenthau, Jr., that all departmental | information must pass through desig- | nated channels. But it was recalled | Solution to Previous Contract Problem that Sprague’s resignation, which he! ‘mnounced Tuesday, was submitted informally to President Roosevelt last ‘Thursday and that no noticeable change in policy haa been made since.

When West opens the four of |spades, East goes up with the king, which holds the trick, and leads the jack, South covering with the queen. Now, of course, if West wins the trict with the ace and returns a spade—or any other suit—the declarer can make his contract. However, West should refuse to |win that trick, since he has no other entry, but should, let South’s queen hold the trick, hoping that his part- ner will get in on a side suit and have another spade to return. South then will run off five dia- mond tricks, but he must let East in | the lead with either a club or a heart, fand, as soon as he does, East re- turns the five of spades. Then, when South plays the ten, West wins with the ace and cashes two good spade tricks, giving East ‘and West four spades and the king ot hearts or the king of clubs, thereby defeating the contract. , (Copyright, 1933, NEA Service, Inc.)

In fact, the killer had evidently taken pains to handle the body as carefully as possible as it was covered with a blanket that had been tucked in at the ends and the head, face down, rested on two small pillows. Nearby lay a revolver covered with a cloth, but police scoffed at the suggestion that Mrs. Wyne- koop might have killed herself for she had been shot in the back just below the left shoulder. Three bullets had been fired from the weapon but her life had been taken with a single shot.

The nation-wide objective is the employment of 4,000,000 persons by Dec. 15. Two million of these per- sons receiving relief on Nov. 16 are to be employed on civil works projects by direct transfer from the relief of- fice to civil work projects on or before Dec. 1. The civil works program is to be administered by the emergency relief administration, which is the state jemrgency relief committee. The |committee will appoint the state and local civil works administrations. On or after Dec. 1, all applications \for employment will be made through jthe local employment agencies de- signated by the U.S. Employment Service. Federal relief funds may be used to pay wages to persons transferred. 69| Wherever state and local laws per- mit, it is urged that state and local relief funds be used similarly. If this is not possible it is suggested that funds received from the federal re- lief administration be allocated en- state and local relief funds be used for direct relief. Speed Is Essential All public works projects of the One unfurnished at once. Denies Rockefeller Part in Oil Pool ___SSSSS—: Contradictory evidence entered the Senate Banking and Currency Committee hearing when Bertram Cutler (above) denied that the Rockefellers, for whom he is fin- ancial adviser, had arranged pay> ment of $300,000 to W. S. Fits- patrick from profits reaped in @ Sinclair ofl stock syndicate. Prev- fously, Fitzpatrick, former head of the Prairie Oil and Gas Com- pany, had said that he understood the money was paid him by the Rockefeller interests to reward him for 20 years of faithful service. character heretofore constructed or carried on either by the public au- thority or with public aid to serve the interest of the general public are eligible, provided that they are so- cially and economically desirable, and they may be undertaken quickly. All civil works projects must be carried on by force account (day labor) and not by contract. No project for which application has been made to the emergency ad- thinistration of public - works and which has not been referred by it to the civil works administration is ac- ceptable. Neither is any project which can be financed by a public body un- der terms of the recovery act. All civil works projects shall be submitted to/the local civil works ad- ministration on forms to be furnished by federal officials. The local ad- ministration shall submit the applica- tions to the state administration, with recommendation for approval or dis- approval. State projects shall be submitted directly to the state ad- ministration. The state administra- tion shall approve these projects “with such limitations as the federal administrator may from time to time prescribe.” Hours of labor, wage rates, etc., on civil works projects must be in ac- cord with regulations established by she federal emergency administration of public works. This means a 30- hour week, except in executive, ad- ministrative or supervisory positions. Working time lost because of inclem- ent weather may be made up in the succeeding 20 days. Work will be umited to 130 hours in any one calen- dar month, to be substituted for the requirement of not more than 30 rours work in any one week on proj- ects in localites where a sufficient amount of labor is not available. Reg- ulations also permit work up to eight hours a day or 40 hours a week on wrojects located at points so remote and inaccessible that camps or float- ing plants are necessary for housing and boarding of all labor employed. Human Labor Demanded ‘The maximum of human labor shall be used in lieu of machinery wher- ever practicable. Minimum wages in North Dakota, which is in the northern zone, will be $1.20 an hour for skilled labor and 3.50 per hour for unskilled workers. On road projects wage rates will be those which have been fixed by the state highway department in accord- ance with the recovery act. Only articles, materials and sup- plies produced under codes of fair competition of the industrial program or under the president's re- employment agreement shall be used in the projects, except in certain cases as determined by the federal civil works administration. This, of course, applies only to articles pro- duced in the United States. So far as is practicable, preference shall be given to the use of locally- produced materials, if such does not involve higher cost, inferior quality or insufficient quantity. near future by the federal civil works administration, A three-decker motor bus is in use , Germany. tirely to civil works projects and| apartment.

Inquire CITY WATERWORK ASSETS INCREAS Net Income Decreases, How- ever, Because of Lower Rates Offered Assets of the Bismarck waterworks department at the end of last month were $37,167.70 greater than on Oct. 31, 1932, according to a report sub- mitted by. Myron H. Atkinson, manag- er, to the city commission Monday evening. Increases in assets were listed in the report as follows: Fixed assets $112.52; current assets $15,925.24; sinking fund $9,129.94 and deprecia- tion fund security $12,000. The depreciation fund security, a new item this year, is made up of city *|paper owned by the department, At- kinson said, mostly water main and spedial assessment warrants.

Increased consumption also eae | to cut down net profits, the manager said, pointing out that price boosts in chemicals and additional power needed made production costs ap- proximately the same as for October, 1932. The cost to the department per 1,000 gallons pumped was $.024 in October, 1933, compared to Pati for October, 1932, the report showed. Expenses increased from $2,212.02 in 1932 to $3,011.71 last month, the boost being $799.75. Net income for the four-month period ending last month was plac- ed at $11,040.12 compared to $14,553,- 18 for the corresponding four-month period in 1932. EXPECT NEARLY 100 IN BRIDGE CONTEST Local Elks Committee sie to Order More Supplies, Chairman Says sy Nearly 100 Bismarck persons expected to participate in the novel bridge contest which will be conduct- ed here Friday night in connection with the Elks national bridge tour- nament, it was announced Tuesday by Dr. F.

A luncheon will be served to con- testants following play, Dr. Strauss ‘announces, and guests will be able to continue play if they desire following the contest. ‘ ‘The contest will be held in the Elks hall here at 9 o'clock. Dr. Strauss suggests that contestants arrive half an hour early so that play can begin on time. Contestants may sit at any table they desire and will not be required to change partners unless they choose. Sixteen hands will be played at each table, with scores kept on spe- cial scoring pads which will enable quick decision on the contests. All contestants will play the same hands during the course of the contest. Prizes will be offered at each table as well as to local and national win- ners, Dr. Strauss said. Contests are planned in both auc- tion and contract. More than 40,000 persons throughout the United States ‘had entered the contest ‘last week, Dr. Strauss said, making it the larg- est feature of its kind ever attempted. Analyses of the hands played in the contest will be brought to the Elks hall by Western Union messen- ger at 11:05 p. m., by which time play must be completed. Play of the hands a be compared with the ana- lyses. All scoring records will be sent to contest headquarters. Mrs. P. J. Meyer will be referee of the local contest, Dr. Strauss said. f Strange But True { News Items of Day | al language, “Pig Latin,» had Judge ‘Theodore Rosen stumped but an in- terpreter saved the day.

Bridgeton, N. =e Nov. 22—()— Back from a reglon where air is thin and cosmic rays are thick, Major Chester L. Fordney, marine corps mathematician, says he almost join- ed the “Caterpillar club” near the close of his successful flight to the stratosphere with Lieut.-Commander T. G. 8. (Tex) Settle. “I had just fooked out a hatch and seen a large body of water beneath when Commander Settle remarked perhaps I’d have to take the para- chute and go overboard as ballast be- cause we were falling rather fast,* Fordney related. “What about that water?’ I quer- ied. ‘Why we're over that already, that was Delaware Bay,’ he answered. But I didn’t have to jump after all.” Jubilant over the success of their flight, on which they reached an alti- tude of 59,000 feet, more than 11 miles, Commander Settle flew to Washing- ton amare leaving Deriige Gr panion supervise transportation of the balloon and its strange metal gondola, from the Jersey marshes to the Naval Air station at Lakehurst. ‘Thence it goes to a New York exhibit, Petersburg to Build — New Hall in Village Washington, Nov. 22.—(?)—Secre- tary Ickes Wednesday allotted $12,- 309,230 for 54 non-federal public works projects in 27 states.
