BALDWIN DUE
T0QU|T SOON

LONDON, March II U.N.sJ.
Prime Minister Stanley Baldwin
will resign and become an Earl
shortly after the coronation Of
King George VI in May, with
Chancellor Of the Exchequer Ne
vile Chamberlain succeeding him
as head of the government, Lon.
don newspapers reported today.
The papers said Baldwin may
remain in the cabinet in one of
the "sinecure Offices" although
he may, on the other hand, end
his political career and join the
boards Of two or three city com.
panies.
Ramsay Macdonald, lord presi-
dent Of the council: Viscount
5ailsham, lord chancellor, and
Viscount Halifax, lord privy seal,
may also decide to resign with
Baldwin, the press stated, but
Chamberlain is not expected to
m axe any sweeping cabinet
changes while the imperial con-
ference Is sitting in London. He
Is more likely to postpone ''draS
tic reconstruction" until autumn.
For this reason, it was reported,
he may persuade Lord Hailsham
and Lord Halifax to continue in
office some time longer.
There is a possibility, 1t was
said, that Macdonald will not
accept a peerage but remain
member Of parliament for the
Scottish universities. Macdonald
served as prime minister for
many years.

OF BUREAU
Special to The washington Times

Special to The washinEton Times
NEW YORK, March IL. Two
principal recommendations will be
made this week by the Senate com
mittee investigating safety on air
lines.
They are:
ONE-Restoration Of the post Of
Assistant secretary for Aeronau-
tics in the Department Of Com

Building Program
TWO-Immediate launching Of
the largest construction program
In the history Of airways develop
ment, to establish radio and
other ground aids to fill in gaps
on scheduled air routes.
Col. Harold Hartney, technical
advisor TO the Senate Committee,
which IL headed by Senator Royal
8. Copeland, revealed here today
that the committee in its recent
investigations uncovered grave
delinquencies" in the Department
Of Commerce. Discussing the uo-

'MEN ON THE GROUND"
Dean Smith, veteran American
Airlines pilot, who was here with
Colonel Hartney to address the
aviators' post Of the American
Legion, declared:
"The chief solution Of tOday'S
problem of air safety Is to see
that the men on the ground act
ing as diSpatchers and In charge
of weather and radio reports are
at least equal in knowledge and
pay rating with the transport
pilots. DiSpatchers should be
promoted from the ranks Of the
pilots, instead of being chosen
from the ranks Of ground crew
men who have no knowledge Of
the problems confronting the
pilots in the air."

asked, shade more eagerly than he had
wanted to appear.
WE'LL - yes and no." Sergeant German
said. Anyway, called up headquarters"
Headquarters? Why ="
Masters paused. German was considering
him with cold, quizzical eyes.
81. Uh :. I'll see about my guests"
Masters said hurriedly, and left the library.
But he did not 60 to the game room. As he
closed the library door an irresistible curl
osity seized him. Just for an instant he
hesitated, struggled against an impulse he
knew to be reckless, then tiptoed back to
the door and pressed his ear against the panel
At first he heard nothing but the muffled
thump of his heart. He drew deep, slow
breath and tried to relax. But his muscles
remained inexplicably taut and he was sud-
denly aware that the palms of his hands were
cold and wet. Then he heard Sergeant Cor
mans voice, "You spotted it too, eh?'
YEAH" said Murphy. But it's neat job
Just the same
Sergeant German laughed. His mirth had
harsh tone. Yeah" he said, but amt
guy sap to think he can get away with it,"
Masters felt himself 60 weak. He leaned
against the door for support. Cold perspira-
ton oozed from his brow His mind, like
detached organ, reviewed frantically every
move he had made. Somewhere he had made
mistake. He wiped a trembling hand across
his moist face. 1t had all seemed so simple
-. So utterly fool-proof. But he had slipped
and they had found him out. He tried to
think. One of the guests? Had he been seen?
The faces of his guests swirled and spun
dizzily before him. They seemed to mock him.
But it couldn't have been guest - hadn't
Murphy said he had tumbled to it, too?
Murphy hadn't been out of the library. Then
it was in the library he had made the blunder
What? Numbness gripped his mind and
wave of nausea closed his throat. Masters
painted for breath. He was afraid. Horribly

afraid. He caught sight of himself in the hall
mirror and looked away quickly from the
terror stricken face he had seen. He must get
himself together.
Now. if ever, he must remain cool - think
about something else for the moment until
this panic left him. He found himself staring
at high backed chair against the wall. A
black walnut antique. Remember how the
farmer had stuck to his price? And Ida had -.
Ida! Ida laying on the divan with knife in
her back and the police seemed to change
shape before his eyes. A bride thrown care
lessly across one of the heavy arms became
a coil of heavy electric cable and the light
switch on the wall behind the chair became
another, ghastlier switch. Masters stomach
curled up tight within him. A mist rose before
his eyes and his knees buckled.
Then he was staring up from the floor at
the two troopers kneeling over him on each
side.
You must've tainted" said German.
Masters nodded YEARLY. 'Yes," he mur-
INJURED. I'll guess it was the shock of hearing
you say you'd found out killed Ida"
For moment. neither trooper spoke Then
German said softly. so you're the guy, eh?"
A feeble, mirthless smile twitched the
corners of Masters small mouth I'm afraid
so," he whispered. Although don't know
how you found it out"
I'VE didn't" Sergeant German snapped,

self on one arm and stared with horror
widened eyes at the trooper - But heard

were talking about it in the library!'
Sergeant Goman shook his head slowly,
THE only thing we were talking about" he
said. was what swell wig you're wearing"

was impossible. He'd been too careful. Every
little clue, even to the handkerchief under
Ida's body, pointed to Ida's lover who was
Trooper Murphy began casual inspection
of the room. He glanced at the titles of
some of the books and at the things on the
writing table. He walked aimlessly and sound
lessly about on the thick rug.
Masters was suddenly aware of the soft
sound of the snow on the window. 1t served
to intensity the silence in the room. He felt
what he had anticipated. He had nerved
himself to face Questioning and he had
thought out carefully the answers. Now he
felt let down ;. At loss. He cleared his
throat The sound was almost explosive in
the quiet room and Trooper Murphy looked
up quickly.
"Oh :. Aren't you going to ask any
questions?"
Trooper Murphy shook his head. You'll
have plenty of questions to answer .
Later"
Masters wished he hadn't spoken. Murphy's
reply had been unpleasantly suggestive.
Masters reached in his pocket and brought
out silver cigarette case. He wanted to
appear at ease. Silently he extended it to
the trooper and as silently Murphy declined.
Murphy looked intently at Masters for
moment :. Then began again his aimless
wandering about the room. Masters fingers
trembled slightly as he lit his cigarette. First
the sergeant now Murphy, had looked at
him with that odd questioning expression.
He glanced at the trooper to see if his nerv-
BUSINESS had been noticed. Apparently it
hadn't. He smoked quietly, aware of peculiar
and growing tension within him. If only
they'd begin finding those clues he'd planted!
Sergeant German returned. Il think you'd
better 60 in with your guests" he said to
Masters. They're sort of panicky."
Did you find out anything?" Masters

~ with precise manner. He paused
before the hall mirror to give his
II u perfectly fitting toupee final pat
before going to the door to admit the two
state troopers.
You're Mr. Masters?" the taller one
asked.
Masters bowed acknowledgment and stood
aside as they entered. A slight shiver of
excitement swept him as he watched them
loosen their coats and shake a fine powder
of snow from their collars.
I'm Sergeant Gorman,' said the tall
trooper. you phoned the station about some
truuble?"
Masters nodded.
MY. My wife," he said with seeming
difficulty. "She - she has been N murdered!'
The faces of the troopers became bronze
masks as they stared at him.
Where is she?" Sergeant German asked.
His voice had become fiat and impersonal.
I'm here" Masters said, leading the way
across the hall and pushing door open. In
the library"
1t was not large room and it was made to
seem smaller by the shelves of leather backed
books that rose nearly to the ceiling on three
walls 1t was quietly and extensively fur
nished and bright with the reflection from
the snow outside the big French windows.
And it was still with the stiffness of death r..
For on the big leather divan was the sprawled
body of Masters wife, laying face down. the
handle of hunting knife protruding from
the center of rust-brown stain on her white
evening gown.
Masters did not follow the troopers to the
divan. He stood near the door and kept his
eyes averted from what. in fact, was becoming
far more horrible than he had imagined pos
sible as he had 50 ooolly planned her death.
''She never knew what hit her." Sergeant
German said at last.

job. Who else is in the house. Mr.. Masters?"
"A few week end guests and the servants.

room. The servants are in their quarters"
Sergeant Gorman nodded absently. YEAH"
he said. Il guess maybe I'd better look them
over. You stay here with Murphy, Mr..

As Sergeant German was about to pass
Masters, he paused, looked hard at him,
seemed about to speak and. apparently chang
ing his mind, left the room and closed the
door gently behind him.
Masters stared at the closed door, Why
had the trooper looked at him like that?
He turned his head and his eyes, bright and
bird-ike, inventoried every detail of the room.
Had he missed something? A little priclly
tingle ran up and down his spine. No, that

CHILDBIRTH FIELDS


Bozeman, Nov. 5-To qualify for
payment under the 1897 agricul-
tural conservation program, sugar
beet growers are reminded of the
requirement that no child under
IA years of age shall have been
permitted to work on the farm
after September / in the harvest
Of the 1887 beet crop. and that no
child between IA and 16 years CT
age shall have been permitted to
do such work for more than eight
hours per day, says A. J. Borton,
executive secretary of the state
agricultural conservation COM
mittee.
He adds, however, that these
provisions do not apply to the
