the folds of her white scarf.

protested, cycling her uneasily.
They were seated on the bank of
the river under the low hanging
branches of the willows. The day
was clear and hot. No haze dimmed
the imperturbable blue of the sky

in the glimmer.

eagerly, as If to justify her COM

Well, what does she feel?" Dams
tone was almost Sullen, although he
tried TO keep a bantering note in it,
"That-that oughtn't to go on
like this, seeing you all the time,
being serious about it," the girl ex-
planned with difficulty.
L know we're engaged, Dan. That
part of it's all right! But so long
as you want to keep it in the

harder for me. You know as we'll

him. trying to speak lightly.

declared. You know-and l know.

TNWARDLY the girl sighed. Their

Vishinsky Says USSR
Won't Allow English
Interference
WAR PLANS EXPOSED
Prosecutor Sums Up
in Crowded Court

MOSCOW, April 16.-The
trial of the six British and
eleven Russian engineers,
nearly all of whom have al
ready admitted in the Court
that charges against them of bribing
officials, of gathering military in
formation about the defensive re-
sources and plans of the U. S. S. r.
OF sabotaging Soviet heavy industry
and electric power development, OF
working out plans for destroying as
far as they we're able Soviet defense
facilities in the event of an interven-
zionist war Of foreign imperialism
against the Republic of the Working
Class, are substantially true, is now
drawing to q close.
This morning the Court devoted a
one-hour session to the hearing of
technical questions submitted by
MonkhouSe, one of the English de-
PENDANTS.
After the afternoon recess, the
crucial evening session of the Court
began when Judge Ulrich took his
place, at exactly 7:l5. The courtroom
was crowded to capacity. The first
proceeding was the reading of a
series Of answers to the technical
questions earlier presented by Monk
house.
Yishinsky Sums Up
AT half past eight, the tall bespec-
tacled Vishinsky began the speech
for which the crowd in the courtroom
had been waiting so patiently. This
is Vishinsky's first case OF national
Importance; and his predecessor in
the office of Public Prosecutor, Mich
olas Krylenko, the brilliant unraveller
OF the counter-revolutiona plots
brought to light in the trial OF the
Industrial Party, and now Commissar
for Justice, was in Court TO listen to
Vishinsky's speech.
Vishinsky looked grim, and was
wearing the Order of the Red Ban
ner. THE eyes of all our friends
and ,nemies are focused on this
courtroom" he began, proceeding to
call attention to the world import
ance Of the trial. He went on to de-
nounce the enemies of the Soviet
Union, and to score the barrage of
threats made by Great Britain with
the hope of coercing the course of
Soviet justice. Wen permit no.
body to interfere in our internal af-
fairs despite all their Mysteries" said
Vishinsky.
All the evidence in the trial has al
ready been taken. After Vishinsky
concluded his speech, the defendants
will have chance to make a last
statement in their own defense, and
then the Judges will retire to consider
verdict. This will probably be given
on Wednesday.

WASHINGTON, April 16. - After
