CULBERTSONS LESSEN LEAD New York, Dec. 15 --<U.R)— The Culbertsons and the Lenz, fighting across the green felt top of a card table, proved to tlie world last night that a contract bridge match can be as dramatic to some folks as a football game *or a performance of “East Lynne.” Waging an uphill tattle all the way. Ely and Josephine Culbertson iplayed hard and furiously through the sixth session of the 150-rubber match to pare down the 4840-point lead of Sidney Lenz and Oswald Jacoby. When the final rubber of the evening—40th of the contest —had been completed, the Lenz-Jacoby team stood a bare 15 points out in front. It was as exciting as a threeI alarm fire — those long minutes when the Culbertson assault was draining away the points of the Lenz lead. Bulletin after bulletin came from the playing room, to be snatched up by eager hands and shot out over the score or more telegraph lines to newspaper and press associations. Josephine Culbertson, in whose crucial moments of play, was bidding her hands for every trick i they were worth, and scoring heavily witli each deal. The Lenz advantage dwindled — 445 points, then 345. 175, and finally 75. , Then Ely Culbertson broke loose I with a four-heart lid. made it, j and the tally stood at 745 points I in favor of the Culbertsons.

If the warrants are issued, it II will be the first time the city has resorted to this method of obtaining working funds. ■ — Q—“On the Bottom of the Sea,” bv Robert M. Zimmerman, D.H.S.

PUBUCLANDSTO SAVE MEXICO j Mexico City —(UP)—The agricultural and ec morale salvation of Mexico depends on the successful distribution of public lands, according to Ct.-sar Cordova, a memb.er of l j the National Agricultural Commis- , sion .‘or five years. “The plan is not a failure,” said Cordova, “but the method >f distribution should be changed and the program completed as soon as pos- ■ Bible. In Mexico, which has more varisd agricultural problems than ; any other count y, there are many factors which make the solution of them difficult. Lack of agricultural production, lack of credit, racial. differences, the tremendous j rise'in tax s, the enormous cost of peculating agricultural problems, the lack of understanding between landowners and those to whom land is granted, discontent, inertia are some o; th? problems which must be met. “The doubt, inaction, uncertainty : and vacillation of individuals and ; organizations must be changed for | peace, study and work, and when ' j this is done an efficient solution will be reached, if not in a month. ■ as General Obregon suggested, then I in a year.”
