"Gilda," said Peter in low voice,

There were more footsteps and more

Suddenly they noticed. why.

Her photograph album was under her
arm; the other things she ignored.
Her eyes were shining; there seemed
some amusing secret that she and
Peter shared.

tears.
They paused by the corridor door

explained Gilda.
Lima cried, But you went there last

And they were gone!
Peggy was sobbing. Couldn't you
have stopped her? There are things

And Lima protested, But what could

standing there glaring at each other,
and practically the next minute they

OLSON ROW OPENS
SWEEPING PROBE
Governor and Publisher Nc.
Cormick Engage in Bit
- ter Exchange.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
MINNEAPOLIS, February "a
sweeping grand jury crime investiga-
tion was promised today rs Gov. Floyd
B. Olson and Col. Robert r. McCor-
mick, publisher of the Chicago Trib-
tine, engaged In a bitter personal ex-
change over alleged lawlessness here.
To the Governors retort that he ''is
a faker in his alleged war ON crime, /"
the publisher promptly answered he
would formally reply "if Gov. Olson is
cleared of the Liggett murder
and not before"
The investigation Of alleged wide
spread vice was pledged by Oliver T.
Naugle, foreman of the grand jury,
who said. There's enough stun here
to keep up busy until next December" !"
Court Not In Session.
The Mccormick Olson exchange
overshadowed other developments Of
the day in the situation revolving
about the staying of Walter Liggett,
crusading editor, last December 9,
and the chain of events 1t precipitated.
There was no session today of the trial
of Isadore Blumenfeld (Kid Cann)
for the killing. Defense testimony was
to be resumed Monday.
The Governors statement, issued
from Rochester, where he is still re-
cuperating from an operation, accused
the Chicago publisher OF being a
czaristic- minded reactionary' and q
journalistic charlatan" He alleged
the Chicagoan was silent when Chi
cago was the worlds worst cesspool Of
corruption and crime" and blamed
him for being morally responsible for
the deaths of many persons" from
dysentery during the 1888 World Fair
because ''he suppressed the truth"
1t was occasioned by Col. McCor-
mick's talk last night at Columbus,
Ohio. where Mccormick asserted "Ol-
son lent aid and assistance to gang
land in its campaign Of numbering
editors and all who cross his path"
Charge Wiifun Falsehood.
Olson said Col. McCormick's charge
against me is false and he knows It.
He makes the charge because
he hates me for what he calls ultra
radicalism.'
He is a faker in his alleged cham
pionship of the freedom Of the press, -
continued Olson. Dozens of papers
have been suppressed because Of their
economic views without q word from
BERTHE. 1t is only when a scandal
sheet has difnculty that BERTHE comes
to the rescue"
The grand jury foremsn's annour1ee-
ment followed alleged disclosures by
an independent investigator yesterday
that vice and crime were rampant here
and that the city was divided into four
districts by gAngster vice lords.

speeding ships.
Watching the Army's Winter test of
planes and pilots among the cold New
England hills, Lieut.. Col. Russell L.

Air Corps, said tonight:
1T is time now to test the Air Corps

actual work of dropping bombs and
firing machine guns under combat
conditions"
The maneuvers, he reported, prob
ably would be held at the Army Prov
ing Ground in Aberdeen, Nd, or at
the Douglass range in tn, Mojave Des-
ert, north of Los Angeles, Calf. He
declined to say when they would be
held.
Air Corps officials, he said, are con-
sidering favorably the Aberdeen site

ground is in an isolated section, and
planes carrying bombs could reach
their targets by flying over water from
any one of three air bases, Philadel-
phia, Wilmington and Baltimore.

DEFENSE SEEKERS
FACE ARMS QUIZ
Boosters of Army and Navy
to Be Questioned About
propaganda" Sources.
BY REX COLLIER.

Sources of so-called propaganda
for a bigger and better national de-
fense will be inquired into tomorrow
by the Senate Munitions Committee
In connection with its long quest for
the causes of war.
Representatives of the Navy League
and the Army Ordnance Association
have been asked to appear for question
ing at a hearing of the committee to-
morrow at 10 am, it was announced
by Stephen Raushenbush, committee
investigator.
It was understood the committee will
seek to learn the identity Of financial
hackers of both organizations.
The Navy League is civilian organ
ization which has advocated larger ap-
propriations for the United States
Navy. On its Executive Committee is
William Howard Gardiner. who, while
president of the league in 1881, charged
that President Hoover had an "abys-
NAL ignorance" of naval affairs. The
charge led to an investigation of that
and other charges by special board
which vindicated Hoover.
Crowell Also Summoned.
The Army Ordnance Association is
q private organization promoting IN
dustrial preparedness" for war. Its
president is Benedict Crowell, former
Assistant Secretary Of War. The COM
mittee has summoned the executive
secretary, L. A. Codd, to answer ques-
tions concerning the group and its OBJ
jectives.
I'VE Just want to complete the rec
ord a member of the committee
staff explained last night. There arr
some things we want to know about
those organizations"
Both organizations have Offices II
this city. Both have taken a strong
stand in behalf of adequate military
and naval preparedness. Neither has
any official connection with the nava
or military establishments. although
retired officers are among their mem
bers.
Hoover's controversy with the Navy
League head arose over action OF the
league in opposing publicly budgetarJ
Limitations on the Navy imposed by
the Hoover administration.
Hammond Headed Board.
Several league members resigned
but others supported Gardiner. Hoo
yer accused Gardiner of spreading "a
tissue of falsehoods" and appointed g
board headed by John Hays Hammond
to inquire into the charges. Th'
board acquitted" Hoover and "in'
dicted" Gardiner for inaccuracies
false assertions and erroneous con-
clusions."
The board was instructed to investi-
gate 1.-The people who are interested ir
propagandiZing' the charges, but It's
report did not 60 into such details.
William B. Shearer. who also wal
criticized by Hoover as 'propagan'
dist" for bigger armament and whose
activities at the Geneva Arms Confer
ence of 1927 were investigated by 6
Senate committee, has been an inter
ested spectator at several of the cur
rent munitions hearings, but the COM
rnittee has indicated no desire to ques.
ton him.
After concluding the propaganda
phase of its inquiry, the committee
plans to inquire into the bootleggne
of machine guns to gangsters and the
smuggling of small arms to foreign
countries for use by revolutionists.
