‘CLEAN HOUSE/ FIRST ORDER OF LA GUARDIA New Mayor Calls on Police to Rid Metropolis of Racketeers. By Pr> NEW Y< )RK Jan 2 M •or Plorello H La Guardia. barely settled in his new city hall “home." gathered together his fusion cabinet today for a thorough house cleaning to remove all trace of Tammany Hall's eighteen years of occupancy. With the pledge that each aid would have a free hand in the conduct of his department. La Guardia ordered his lieutenants to “clean house and clean it thoroughly.” Then he gave a lesson or two in handling the broom. He began his first busy day in office yesterday by rushing to police headquarters where Major-General John F. O'Ryan was sworn in as police commissioner. In a terse, impromptu address he demanded that police rid the city of rackets and racketeers. Takes Oath at Seabury’s Eight and one-half hours earlier, a moment after the New Year was ushered in, La Guardia took the oath at .the home of his friend and supporter. Samuel Sea bury, who as investigator of municipal corruption upset the Tammany apple cart. "I want to see you when I'm through here. I have a job for you,” he told Commissioner of Accounts Paul Blanschard while giving him the oath. To Corporation Counsel Paul Windels he said: “I don’t care whether the law department is the biggest offfice in the world. I want it to be the best.” Similar greetings and admonitions were meted out to Correction Commissioner Austin H. McCormick, Dock Commissioner John McKenzie. one of the few Tammany holdovers, and Public Welfare Commissioner William Hodson. “There's something wrong with the tax department, but I don't know what it is,” he told Commissioner of Taxes and Assessments Dominick Trotta. “See If you can find out.” La Guardia planned to hold a public hearing today on a dozen or more bills, holdovers from the previous administration. He likewise called a meeting of the board of estimate branch of the municipal asembly to pass a charter amendment giving Fire Chief John McElligott the commissionership. Pleads With Aldermen ‘‘You can’t fight fires from a swivel chair or a district political dull—that’s why I appointed Chief McElligott on his record." La Guardia said. Later in the day he smashed tradition by appearing before the Tammany controlled board of aidermen to plead for support in effecting his economic reforms. “You can’t build public works on aldermanic resolutions,” he told them. “You must have federal loans.” His first day’s work completed, the mayor donned a black fedora and a well-worn gray overcoat. As he left for his fifth avenue home he was asked if he intended to take a vacation. “That," he said, ‘‘depends on the budget—both the city’s and my own.” AMERICANS EVACUATE CHINESE BATTLE ZONE All Foreigners Asked to Leave Fukien Province During Rebellion.

decided to refuse to win the first trick. To refuse to win a trick, when holding the ace-jack, is known as the Bath coup. It is made with the hope that the opponent will continue with that suit and it then will be possible to make both the ace and jack, while, if the trick is won may get in and lead through the declarer's jack. However, West refused to fall into the trap and led the seven of diamonds. East went up with the queen and South won with the king. u a a THE eight of hearts then was played and won in dummy with the queen. Miss Scranton returned the jack of clubs from dummy. West won the trick with the queen and led back the nine of hearts, which South won with the king, following with the king of clubs. West refused to win the trick and played the eight, but Miss Scranton continued with the clubs, forcing West to win with the ace. West exited with a heart, which was won in dummy with the ace, Miss Scranton discarding the nine of clubs. Dummy’s good ten of clubs was cashed, West discarding a spade. Now the three of diamonds was led from dummy, South going up with the ace, and leading the ten-spot, which threw 7 West into the lead. And now West, holding the queen and ten of spades, must lead into Miss Scranton’s ace and jack, and the Bath coup produced three no trump. (Copyright, 1934, by NEA Service, Inc.)

CIVIC BODY OPPOSES CLOSING AUDUBON LINE Irvington Association Would Set Aside Public Service Ruling. Efforts will be made by the Irvington Civic Association to set aside the public service commission ruling | authorzing abandonment of the Audubon spur line operated by Indianapolis Railways. In contrast to the evidence pre- j sented at the commission hearing that only thirteen persons use the line, part of the East Washington street service, the association, through its attorney, Leo X. Smith, will attempt to show that 399 persons use the line daily. Mr. Smith claims that the service! originally was intended to serve j South Irvington and not the old Irvington street station of the •Pennsylvania railroad.
