day. . Playing the Blackwood ‘system, which since 1936 has been barred until this year by the Indianapolis Bridge Association, Mr. Blackwood, the inventor, and Dr. Segar trimmed a field of 40 pair Saturday afternoon and night at the Hotel Lincoln. : They won with 126 points and the second pair had 120 points. No formal action was taken by the Association on whether thé pair could ‘use the Blackwood system, but they were not challenged. In 1936 they also were barred ~ from the Indianapolis Athletic Club tournament and that bar, so far as they know, is still in force. Meanwhile, they have played in many tournaments in other cities and states. This is the first state championship they have won. The system, briefly, is that the first bid and the first response are merely informative on strength, and not on distribution. Distribution is indicated in later bids.

URGE COALITION OF CIVIC UNITS

Junior Chamber WiJl Seek United Front for Legislature.

The Indianapolis Junior Chamber of Commerce announced today it will attempt to form the first “coalition” of civic organizations to carry the City Manager Plan to the State Legislature. Edward J. Green, Junior Chamber president, said a tentative course of action has been agreed upon pend-

' ling approval by other groups being

asked to join the movement. Included are the City Manager League, the Indianapolis Council of Women and the League of Women Voters, all of whom have gone on record as favoring the City Manager Plan but have acted independently. Have Three Choices

The civic groups have three choices in promoting adoption of the City Manager plan, it was said. They are: Introduce their own measure to give cities an enabling act; support an enabling measure already introduced by Senator William E. Jenner (R. Shoals), or seek a Constitutional Amendment. Meanwhile, Senator Jacob Weiss (D.. Indianapolis) was completing drafting of the measure he plans to present to the Legislature this week to permit present city councils to select a city manager and hire under an “almost airtight” 10-year contract. : Senator Jenner's measure would provide for election of new councils by the proportional representative system. The Council then would choose the City Manager, but could remove him at any time.
