JAY BECKER Bridge Columnist for the Post-Dispatch The 1963 Spring Nationals of the American Contract Bridge League entered its final phase today as more than 200 pairs began play in the four-session Open Pair Championship at the Chase Park-Plaza Hotel. The winners and runners-up will gain qualifying points toward the international team trials to be held in November at Miami Beach to determine the 1964 United States International Team. The four teams to contest the finals of the Vanderbilt Cup Monday will be those captained by Lew Mathe of Los Angeles; John Crawford of New York; Clifford Russell of Miami Beach and Oswald Jacoby of Dallas.

45-Point Margin The Mathe team retained its undefeated status yesterday by beating the team of Alphonse Moyse, New York, in the six round by 45 international match points. The Californians include Harold Guiver, Long Beach; Ed Taylor, Los Angeles; Erik Paulsen, Anaheim; and Ron von der Porten, San Francisco. The Crawford team, which will play Russell's Monday afternoon, includes; George Rapee and William Root, both of New York; Sidney Silodor, Haver-town, Norman Kay, Mer-chantsville, N.J., and William Grieve, Houston. Crawford followed his victory by 61 points over Waldemar von Zedtwitz in the sixth round by beating Moyse by 26 points in the seventh round in a match which was level at the halfway stage. This meant the exit of the gallant Moyse team which started the competition with five straight wins, including several against teams with a higher seeding in the original draw.

TELLS OF PRESSURE TACTICS FOR HOUSING IMPROVEMENT Methods of improving private housing occupied by Negroes were outlined to members of the Easton-Page Park Community Council last night by Hollis Chester, former housing chairman of an all-Negro community near Chicago. He spoke at Grace Presbyterian Church, 1401 Clara avenue. "When landlords refused to make repairs to property occupied by Negroes, we organized rent strikers and sit-in demonstrations and picketed landlords at their offices, homes and country clubs," he said. Members of the organization also harassed landlords by telephoning them frequently at night, he said. Political influence was demonstrated by the group when it organized a caravan of 2000 persons to register to vote, he said.

A total of $335 was taken.

Entrance to the building was gained by removing an air duct on the roof. The burglar dropped through the hole to a locked maintenance room, Detective George A. Randolph of the St. Louis County Police Department said. The burglar then removed the lock from the door, gaining access to a rear hallway that is a common corridor for the stores.

Entry to the establishments was made by removing wooden door panels. Trousers Stolen A metal box containing $200 was taken from the Glasgow Village Hardware Store, and $120 was stolen from a drawer of a desk in William's Service, a cleaning shop. In addition, a pair of trousers was taken, apparently to replace the thief's torn and blood-stained pants which were discarded in the hallway. From Todd's Bakery, $15 was taken from the cash register and an apron was stolen from the Italian and American Delicatessen. The Glasgow Village Barber Shop also was broken into, but nothing was reported missing.

The thefts were discovered by a truck driver who was making a delivery to the bakery. An off-duty policeman, Patrolman Leonard Forsting, fired two shots at a man with a police record carrying an electric drill from a service station at 1320 South Twelfth street early today. Forsting said he heard glass breaking as he walked out of a restaurant next door to the sta tion about 2:30 a.m. Investigating, Forsting saw a man he recognized as Vernon R. Rulo, of the 900 block of Chouteau avenue, emerging from the station with the drill.

Rulo ignored orders to halt, dropped the drill and continued running with Forsting in pursuit. The officer fired a warning shot and two more shots at Rulo. Rulo escaped unharmed, but was arrested shortly afterward at the home of a woman friend. He was booked suspected of burglary. Patrolman Robert Alexander, investigating the shots, arrested aiiumer man wnu aumiueu aui- ing as a lookout for Rulo.

He is Robert Lee Certain, 1000 block of Dillon court. Fired on by Intruder Paul Altier, an employe of Presto Foods Products, 6144 Bartmer avenue, told police yesterday that three shots were fired at him by a man he intercepted coming out of the firm Thursday night. Altier, who lives upstairs from the company, said that he struck the man with a bottle of whisky and knocked him to the grend. The man produced a pistol and fired at Altier from about 10 feet, police were told. The shots went wild.

Police later found that the store's safe, containing about $200, had been pulled to the front door. Food valued a $300 was strewn St- ely today by burg lars who started a fire with business records before fleeing with an undetermined amount of cash. Police said that the break-in was discovered about 5 a.m. when a doughnut delivery man noticed smoke rising from the rear of the closed restaurant and called tne fir department. Firemen removed a pile of smoldering business records from the restaurant office.

Warren Cordell, statistical expert for the A.

C. Nielsen Co. of Chicago, said 1960 census information was being incorporated in the base of the Nielsen reports, but was not yet actually in use. He agreed with Robert E. L.

Richardson, a staff member of the subcommittee, which is investigating broadcast rating services, that some of the 19G0 census information already was becoming obsolete. Cordell said that material from sources other than the census was worked into the Nielsen statistical sample in an attempt to update it. However, he said, the sample drawn up in 1947, using 1940 census data, is still the basis of the reports on which, testimony has shown, the broadcast industry relies heavily. Cordell and other Nielsen executives appeared for the second day before the subcommittee headed by Representative Oren Harris Arkansas. They will be called back for more questioning Monday.

In three weeks of ''earings Nielsen has been singled out as the major source of audience rating information. Witnesses have said that decisions based on the ratings affects the plac- i ing of millions of dollars worth I of advertising and television programming. Henry Rahmel, executive vice president of the firm, concluded his presentation of Nielsen's case by suggesting several areas where improvements could be made in broadcast research. One suggestion was that the Federal Communications Commission or the National Association of Broadcasters take a strong stand to discourage anyone from getting ii. touch with the sample homes used by the rating companies to measure television and radio use.

Another called for government approval of "recognized ratings companies" so their interviewers would have easier access to households. Representative John E. Moss California, told Rahmel that Nielsen's operations in connection with two client television stations in Grand Rapids and Kalamazoo, might constitute illegal restraint of trade. GUNN FOR OPEN MEETINGS BY ALL AGENCIES OF CITY Donald Gunn, Democratic nominee for president of the Board of Aldermen, said last night that all city agencies should conduct open meetings because "public business can and should be conducted in public." Gunn told a meeting of the Twenty-eighth Ward Democratic Organization that a. general policy of open meetings 'is what I will advocate a president of the Board cf Aldermen, and urge upon all who serve the city in one form or another." He said that although it may be difficult become accustomed to public scrutiny in some cases, public agencies' discussions and deliU'rations should be available to the press and the public.

tipraia Bonty ordor It Louie nrhenie. at Grand and Delmar boulevards to include 585 more units for elderly persons was announced yesterday by Charles L. Farris, executive director of the St. Louis Housing Authority. Farris said the Public Housing Administration has approved the additional units, which will bring the cost of the Blumeyer project to $25,400,000 compared with the previous estimate of $17,000,000.

He said the work will be financed by the sale of federally guaranteed bonds. The bonds will be retired with moneys received from rentals and annual contributions from the federal government. The expansion will mean that the project will consist of 1305 units instead of the 888 units planned originally, Farris said. The original plans called for only 120 units for the elderly, l-nrric cnin I Tho Riumpvpr nroiPr. in 14-block area bounded roughly by Grand, Delmar and Page boulevards and Compton avenue.

It will include 44 two- and four-story buildings, three 14-story buildings and three 14-story buildings exclusively for the elderly and disabled. Persons wishing to live in the special housing units for the elderly must be at least 62 years old or pcrminently and totally disabled, regardless of age. The net income of the family may not exceed $3700 a year, The expansion was necessi tated by what Farris termed tremendous demand. Hundreds of persons have been inquiring about this kind of housing and we haven't even been able to keep lists of them." Farris said he expects construction to begin this summer.
