STAGE IS SET FOR CONTRACT BRIDGE BATTLE National Interest Focused on Culbertson-Lenz Feud, to Open Monday. BY H. ALLEN SMITH tin 'ei Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, Dec. 3.—Special telegraph wires were being set up In the Hotel Chatham today to give a palpitating bridge world complete, rub-ber-by-rubber accounts of the Cul-bertson-Lenz battle of the contract bidding system. Powerful lamps are being installed in Ely Culbertson’s apartment, where the grudge fight will open Monday night, in order that the contestants may discern without error the nature of the cards they hold. And contract bridge players, from coast to coast, await with deep concern the opening deal. Sidney S. Lenz, the middle-aged, bespectacled veteran of whist and auction days, has chosen Oswald Jacoby as his partner. Culbertson, the suave, shrewd, lean proponent of the approachforcing system, who speaks with a Russian accent, and who brought high-pressure business methods into the realm of bridge, will have his wife, Josephine, as partner. Rivalry Is Intense They will play 150 rubbers in all, eight rubbers an evening, four evenings a week. They will meet each Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday at 8 p. m. For more reasons than one the contest Ls attracting national, even international, attention. It is a grudge fight in which both sides are bitterly antagonistic. There can be no gainsaying that Culbertson and Lenz do not care for each other. They have been at sword’s point ever since Lenz led a revolt against Culbertson’s domination of the contract bridge field, and put forth the official system as its chief weapon against the young expert. Three Referees Named They took to squabbling until Culbertson anounced he would wager $5,000 against SI,OOO that he, playing his approach-forcing system, could beat Lenz and the official system. Three referees, R. J. Leibenderfer, Fred L. Rogan and Lieutenant A. M. Grunther will be in the room with the players during play. A number of clerks also will be present. Newspaper men, according to present plans, will not be in the room, because visitors might distract the players. Couriers will carry news of the battle to an adjoining pressroom. A fifteen-minute broadcast over a nation-wide network has been arranged at the opening session for introduction of players and of short talks. There will be newsreel pictures. Protests Must Be Prompt Rules provide for many contingencies. Provision is made that one side or the other can not deliberately slow up the play and cause the match to run beyond six weeks’ duration. All protests must be made in writing within twenty-four hours after the matter in question occurs. All Tour players have been signed to write their own versions of the contest for various press syndicates, but the actual writing will be entrusted to “ghost writers” privileged to sit in on each session. It has been stipulated that Culbertson must retain his wife as his partner through 75 of the 150 rubbers and Lenz must play that long with Jacoby. Each then is privileged to play with another partner. Leniency Asked for Marchers By United Press NEW YORK, Dec. 3.—'The American Civil Liberties union today asked President Hoover to instruct District of Columbia police to refrain from violence against “hunger marchers” scheduled to reach the capital next Monday.

Good, Clean Fun —Goal of Newest Dry Drive BY DANIEL M. KIDNEY

Frank <Bone Dry) Wright, old-time prohibitionist, has a new idea for making the dry law work. It is to start a movement to make dry parties popular. Wright says he realizes that too often the word “party” is confused with “booze.” So he would have parties return to their old original meaning, like playing post-office. In a recent speech, Wright outlined his plan thus: “Start a movement to make dry parties popular. This would be following the example and leadership of the mistress of the White House. Don’t compromise. Never give up. Fight this thing through. Make our nation dry in fact as well as in name and make it a shining example to the nations of the earth.’’

CIRCLE READY FOR

DELUGE OF FOOD

‘One Can, One Admission/ Is Offer to Children in Charity Drive. The Circle theater will take on the appearance of a huge grocery store Friday night and Saturday afternoon, when Indianapolis boys and girls will be admitted to the show for one can of food. The food is being collected by The Indianapolis Times and (he Skour-as-Publix theaters for the Salvation Army, which, in turn, will distribute it among the city’s needy. “We hope every boy and girl in the city will respond,” states B. V. Sturdivant, zone manager of the Skouras-Publix enterprises here, “since a carload will not be too much. The only thing necessary for admission to the theater between 6 Friday night and 6 Saturday night will be one can of any kind of food. “It may be corn, tomatoes, peas, beans, or anything else, so long as it will help alleviate suffering among needy families of Indianapolis. We are especially eager to obtain glass jars of home-prepared preserved foods.” Distribution of the food will be made under the direction of Adjutant Arthur V. Cass of the Salvation Army. Boys and girls bringing food will see Richard Dix in “Secret Service,” a Mickey Mouse cartoon, a Clark and McCullough comedy, and an Ethel Merman song reel.

Should Wright’s plan succeed America may become famed as a nation of fun lovers who go to parties to get cock-eyed on cocoa. But this isn’t the only scheme the author of the Indiana’s dry law has making prohibition work. “Quit making a joke of prohibition and work for suppression of drinking scenes in motion pictures,” he demands. “Seek the co-operation of our public libraries in securing and displaying good, up-to-date, dry literature. “Teach respect for our Constitution and talk law observance and enforcement morning, noon and night—particularly at night. “Back up all law enforcement officials who are doing their duty.”

“13EACE Certain League Thinks,” A states one headline. Farther down on the page we read: “Battle Is Renewed.” Evidently they’re getting in a few good licks as a real fight doesn’t come around so often. SO far this 18-year-old Hoosier lad who won the highest honors ever recorded at the National Health contest has not endorsed any particular brand of bacon, bread, butter or milk. Some live advertisers are falling down on the job. 0 0 0 IT’S funny how we managed to pull through our childhood without knowing our Vitamin “A” from Vitamin “D.” Must have been a miracle. 000 'T"'HE only reason the girl in the X National Health contest received 99.9 per cent was because, according to the papers, her teeth failed to fraternalize perfectly.
