THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE TUESDAY, DECEMBER 12, 1933 2 “PREK ACCEPTS JOB OP FINDING MARKET - FOR ANERIGAN CROP Farm Administrator Given New Assignment; Assistant Succeeds Him ‘Washington, Dec. 12.—(2)—To George N. Peek goes the job of har- monizing the domestic program for crop adjustmnet with foreign pur- chasing power through tariffs, treat- jes, barter or any other means he can find. That task was assigned to him by President Roosevelt, who thus compro- mised the controversy. between Peck and agricultural department liberals. Peek still was farm administrator when the White House announced that he would head a new “temporary committee to recommend permanent machinery to coordinate all govern- ment relations to American foreign trade.” But his formal resignation is due soon. Roosevelt and Peek, the White House said, have been discussing foreign market problems since last March and now that the task of re- stricting domestic production is well under way it is time to study “the Possibility and advisability of reopen- ing foreign markets for agricultural surpluses.” Chester C. Davis, who will step into the post vacated by Peek, has been associated with Peek for many years. He has been director of production in the farm administration since last May and in that capacity has been in active charge of organizing and setting in motion the cotton, wheat, tobacco, and corn-hog programs of acreage re- duction and has had myriad other the ONTRACT iE “""CXPERTS PLAY IT SOLUTION TO PREVIOUS CONTRACT PROBLEMS | By WM.

Solution in next issue. 12) Mr. Ba.dwin now had located three hearts and three clubs in the West band. West had made an overcall of diamonds, which undoubtedly showed him at least five diamonds. If he held two spades, the contract was made easily, while if he held no spades the contract was lost. Mr. Baldwin figured further that, if West held a singleton spade, it must be the nine spot or better, and if he held one of the four outstanding high cards, the contract could be made with a safety play. Therefore, a small spade was led, West played the nine, and Mr. Bald- win played a small spade from dummy, allowing West's nine to hold. East could not overtake with the ten— ‘otherwise Mr. Baldwin would hold a tenace position with his king-eight. Therefore, East was forced to play a small spade, and now West had no spade to return.
