A veteran observer recalls the end of the Hoover era and the decline of party power for the rich, noting the 1932 vote as a long simmering revulsion. He argues big business and stock schemes failed ordinary people, warning that government relief favored loans over direct aid and left small banks and workers exposed.

Higher ranking first in bridge bidding rule debated
In the World of Bridge columnist Josephine Culbertson notes a debate among players about whether honors in a suit should modify the rule that the higher ranking suit should bid first when equal length. She recalls a Duplicate game where East refused the higher suit, choosing clubs with two honors, leading North and South to a heart game despite the weak hand. East-Dealer. Both sides vulnerable.

Bridge bidding logic and rubber chances explained
A 1932 bridge column explains opening bid choices and game chances. It analyzes spade openings, four hearts overcall, and the concept that a rubber consists of two games with equal chances before play. The piece uses East West North South rankings and discusses probabilities 3 to 1 after a first game, with illustrative sequences and a final answer: pass on the given hand.
