Captain Gregg. Gregg got up, threw
his cigar into the cuspidor. Klay
reached for the light switch to turn on
the lights.

The girl sat down on one of the
rickety chairs, doubled her left knee
so that she was sitting on the foot;
her right leg kept kicking nervously
back and forth.
Look here" Klay said. Il want
to do something desperate"
GO ahead; don't mind me-" she
remarked. reaching for cigarette.
''If your father was framed, it must
have been by some person who stole
his gun so it could be planted in the
automobile after the murder"
She fidgeted uneasily, her right foot
kicking viciously. its tempo increasing
as she became more excited. Listen"
she said. Dads all right, but he's
a gosh-awful liar when he has to be.
Don't be too sure he didn't take that
gun with him. perhaps just intending
to run a bluff"
do you think your father killed
Crawford?"
II don't know"
Lets suppose for the moment"
Klay said. that he didn't, then some
one must have made arrangements to
get his gun"
Sure" she said, that's cinch."
and" Klay pointed out. ''the
logical person to have secured the
gun was this man Needham, who, as
nearly as can find out, was employed
by your father at Frank Richmond's
suggestion"

Find out how?"
Il thought that you could help me
frame something on him."
You can count on me. What do

YOU'RE short of money!"
Don't make me laugh"
Klay opened drawer of his desk,
pulled out sheaf of yellow-backed
papers. This" he said, ''is what is
known as fash roll. Bunlxo men use
fash rolls to impress suckers. Now

tell Needham you've arranged for

"The police here or in Aldenville?"
she asked.
He thought for moment, and said,

Klay could not resist asking here:
''Did'you play one of the leads. Miss
Tobin?"
For a moment she stared at him
with professional dignity. Then sud-
denly she laughed, said, my legs

into the corridor.
When she had gone, Klay picked up
his telephone. He called the Office of
the United States Marshal and said.
This is Lester Klay, an attorney in
Baxter City. If you'll see that one of
the G-Men gets in touch with me, l
can put him in position to rip this
town wide open" and then hung up
the receiver before he could be ques-
toned. He was acting on the assump-
ton that with a town where there was
as much corruption as existed in
Baxter City, the G-Men would have
: already uncovered crimes giving the
government men jurisdiction. If this
were so, he had much to gain. Other
wise, he had but little to lose.

The building was long, low, frame

might have been remodeled from a
stable. A second story had been
added to the front, apparently con-
taining one or two bedrooms. The
gasoline pumps were lighted by food

Captain Gregg pointed to the sign

He slid the car off to the side of the

The face of my 15-year-old guide

the proprietor to telephone our

my life to a 15-year-old Spanish
boy-and I should somehow like
to find him and try to reward him.

paradise of the Mediterranean,
now a lost, devastated, looted and
burnt Red hell-hole with bloated
corpses floating for days in the
currentless harbor.
l descended from the Red
cruiser Miguel de CervanteS,
where the crew re-enacted for me
the murder of their 13 officers. as
reported in exclusive dispatches.
Boy Acts as Guide
To find my way back to the
"embarcadero," from which l
hoped a boat would take me to an
American warship, 1 asked lad
in ragged clothes and with bare
feet, to show me the shortest way.
I was soon arrested oy TWO oml-
nous individuals, one bearing a
shotgun, the other a rifle, and
was told that must accompany
them to the captain of the port.
I handed the captain my Ameri-
ican passport. my French press
cards and other papers. He looked
at them and then said to me
sneeringly:
II am very glad to see you.
You are under arrest"

smiled and said:

for the Zeppelin Transport Com

Senator William H. King CD,
Utah, chairman of the Commls,
sion, said today that so far the
Commission had not considered
the Virginia site but that he
would see to it that a survey was
made of the facilities offered.
Three sites for an American
terminus have been suggested.
One at Morristwn, N. j.; one at
Baltimore and the other at Hy-
bla Valley.
When informed that DR.. Eek
ener had suggested the comblna-
tion of a dirigible and airplane
port, Senator King said:
Gas far as know, the Com
mission has never taken into
consideration the Hybla Valley
port. AS chairman of the Com
mission, will most certainly
see that the site is considered.

mind on where the airport
should be located, 1 think the
Commission should look so
years ahead as to what facilities
will be demanded then when the
planes are bigger and the air
traffic heavier.

confined on this thing. l think
we should have a large field.

CITIES CRY FOR
PORK, DEMAND
TAX REDUCTION
Stokes Finds Paradoxical
Situation as He Swings
Around Nation.
BY THOMAS L. STOKES

LOS ANGELES, Feb. 26-You
can travel thousands of miles from
Washington but still the magic
white city is just over the horizon, q
Promising Land with a Treasury of
billions and a spigot that any poll
tician is expected to twist at will.
Which is to say that the con-
seriousness of Washington begins to
amaze you as you travel about, also
to alarm any one who has a
suspicion of its potentialities.
1t seems to portend willing of
local moral fiber, supine help
leSsness, the sort of yielding and
looking elsewhere out of which
Fascist states grow-though this
country yet lacks anything APP
preaching a Fascist leader.
It's Cause of Fears
1t is this fear which is at the back
of the complaints of spending by
serious minded people who are not
of the strict budget-balancing school
and who grant the necessity of the
Federal government feeding and
clothing its citizens.
The politician is charged by
many I have talked to here and
there with the original sin because,
in good times, he thought up new
ways to tap the Federal Treasury
for local benefits and thus to get
himself elected and reelected
Some found themselves out of Office
when they quit promising, and their
$1O,000-a-year berths taken by the
clever fellow who could think up a
new scheme.
So the mania has grown, the
Frankenstein monster inflated into
a towering giant who shouts:
Gimme"
The depression struck. Local gov
ernments found themselves bank
rupt, in many cases. The Federal
government had TO take over the job
of feeding and clothing the unem-
ployed. Along with it, the Federal
government began to pass out
money for local public works prof.
ects to employ the unemployed.
AS a result an interesting rivalry
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1936-02-26

has sprung up among cities to get
some of this money for themselves.
It has become a matter of civic
pride. They demand it now as a
right. When they don't get it
they're mad.
The mayor, local officials, local
civic organizations go into action,
send delegations to Washington, put
the heat on their congressman. ST.
Louis, for instance, can see why it
is absolutely imperative to have
those millions to improve its Missis-
Sippi waterfront and remove that
eyesore, but doesn't think so much
of something Kansas City or Des
Moines wants. Each city sees the
thing right there before it's eyes
and knows that it's necessary.
So the leading business men get
together in their organizations and
demand.
Then these same business men,
gathering as Republicans per-
chance, or in their Chamber of
Commerce, make speeches and pass
hot resolutions demanding an end
to all this government spending,
demand that the budget be bal
anced, that taxes be reduced.
It's one of the strangest paradoxes
of these strange times.

rounding county of Knox, have an
average WPA wage of from s33

In Colorado, workers almost with

In Harris County, and Houston
