California Police
Arrest Suspected
Oklahoma Bandits
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 4 —UP
—Two suspected Oklahoma bank-
robbers have been apprehended in
Northern California and a third
was the target today of a state-
wide search, the FBI announced
Wednesday.
William M. Whelan, agent in
charge of the San Francisco FBI
office, said James Darrell Holland,
25. was arrested by FBI agents,
police and Stanislaus county dep-
uty sheriffs in Modesto about 9.45
p. m. Tuesday night.
The second suspect, James Earl
Spanger, 23, was arrested by two
policemen at Los Gatos shortly be-
fore midnight.
The FBI said two revolvers and
$1,044 were found in Holland's car,
and a pistol and $5,118 in Spang-
ler's. An agent said Holland identi-
fied his money as part of the S22,-
158 taken last Thursday by three
machine gun-armed men from the
Farmers National Bank at Erick,
Okla.
A California - wide alert was out
for Bobby Joe Rine, 24. who was
charged with the bank robbery,
along with Holland and Spangler,
at Clinton, Okla., Monday.
The FBI sais all three men were
recent residents of Borger, Tex.
Holland, a native of Erick, had
worked in a Borger filling station;
Rine, a native of Royston i Fisher
county), Tex., had been a Borger
cab driver recently, while Spang-
ler was a native of Tulsa, Okla.
The stolen car which the Erick
robbers used foji their get-away
was found yesteraay in the Cana-
dian River bottoms, 15 miles east
of Canadian in the Texas Panhan-
dle. The 1954 auto had been stolen
in Canadian, 70 miles northwest of
Erick.
Holland was identified as the
red-haired gang leader who car-
ried a machine gun into the Farm-
ers National Bank. The FBI said
he was hiding in a shed when he
surrendered, and made no attempt
to use either of his guns.
YOU'D BE PROUD OF
THIS OPENING BID
By OSWALD JACOBY
Written for NEA Service
North wasn't proud of his opening
bid, and no wonder. Queens and
jacks are very useful cards, to be
sure, but an opening bid with only
one ace and with no kings at all is
a rather doubtful venture.
North happened to catch his part-
ner with a very fine hand. South
headed for a slam as soon as his
partner opened the bidding, for
which he can hardly be blamed. At
that, the play for slam was quite
i reasonable, depending on a dia-
mond finesse at worst.
Perhaps if you were playing the
hand, you would say that the slam
depends on the diamond finesse—
pure and simple. If so, look again.
South has an additional resource
which he should not neglect.
When the hand was actually play-
ed, West opened the four of spades
and dummy won with the ace. De-
clarer then made the key play by
leading the low heart from the
dummy.
East should have stepped up with
the king of hearts, but not one play-
er in a thousand would make this
fine play. The actual East played
low, and South's ten forced out

West's ace of hearts.
West shifted to trumps, and dum-
my won with the eight of clubs.
Now declarer led the queen of
hearts from dummy and East for-
lornly played his king.
Naturally, this was exactly what
South had been hoping for. He ruf-
fed. the king of hearts, ruffed a
spade to get back to dummy, and
led the jack of hearts in order to
discard his losing diamond.
From here on it was plain sail-
ing. South took the ace of dia-
monds. ruffed his last low spade
in the dummy, and ruffed a dia-
mond to return to his own hand in
order to draw trumps.

2 Texas Counties
Clash In Law Suit
On Proposed Dam
EDINBURG, Tex., Aug. 4—UP—
Two Lower Rio Grande Valley
counties will clash in a lawsuit
Wednesday, and the fate of a pro-
posed international dam will be
hanging in the balance.
Cameron county is suing Hidal-
go county. Cameron seeks a de-
claratory judgment that it has a
right to condemn land in Hidalgo
county for the proposed Anzalduas
Dam.
Congress has authorized con-
struction of the dam in co-opera-
tion with Mexico, provided local
interests provide the needed land
and easements. The dam would be
located in western Hidalgo county.
Hidalgo county taxpayers twl«
voted down bond issues to help bi^
the land. County officials then de-
cided to have nothing further to do
with the plan.
But Cameron county raised all
the needed money and began to
buy and condemn land for the
dam. Then some Hidalgo county
land owners raised the question of
whether Cameron had a legal right
to condemn land outside its bor-
der. .
