I tract couldn't have been awarded
last month! Why just today zim-
norman told me- and he let the
receiver drop nervelessly from his
hand while he leaned heavily
against the wall.
He had it on direct authority at
last that the much Wanted Hart
ley account had been awarded as
long ago as last month, and to
"some printers who have been
working hand-in-glove with Acme,
our representative" So that's the
kind of a crook Abe had turned out
to be, Igor fumed. Probably had
several other printers and en-
gravers, too, whom he was bribing
on similar terms, literally taking
his unearned profits out of their
perspiring hides.
Igor took one despairing look at
the unpaid bills that tumbled wild
ly over his battered desk, remem-
bered that Abe had refused to pay
him for the last job on some
trumped-up charge Of poor work
then he considered this last
devastating news. Abe had known
for a month there was no chance
for Igor, in fact had personally
awarded the contract elsewhere.
Probably he had extracted a big
ger cut from this other printer!
AS Igor's mind raced over and over
these facts, he paced the cement
floor nervously. A lifetime's bust
ness ruined because of the greed
Of one man. It wasn't to be
borne!
Suddenly he stopped dead in his
tracks. There was one way to
stop the man, stop him forever!
AS he thought of a plan Of retri-
button he sneered at the probable
cost Of this last rash act. He had
nothing more to lose.
In his ha1f-maddened state it
was easy to work himself into the
necessary frenzy to carry out his
threat. Deep in the back OF his
bottom drawer he unearthed a
treacherous looking revolver, fon-
died it lovingly. you'll talk to
Abe for me, won't you?" he said,
and there was little sign of sanity
left in the face, now completely
bathed in sweat. you'll make
him stop his internal cheating,
won't you, my pet?" he said soft
lily, then hid the weapon in his al
most thress4.-bare overcoat.
Like a ssleepwalker Igor left his
fofhce, and headed straight for the
Fine Arts building. His steps
were deliberate, his eyes fixed in
an unseeing stare. Once at the
building, he automatically stepped
into the elevator and rode to the
fourth floor.
AS he opened the door of the
Acme Office, he glanced bitterly at
the gaudy trappings: the shining
chromium, the mirrors, and the
rug. Viciously, he spat upon the
swirling pattern of green and gold
Pounding on Mazie's desk with his
ink-grimed hand, he demanded to
zee Abe. '"Tell him we can't wait, ~
nc said, hugging his weapon to
him. He felt new confidence
when he realized the threat he held
SO close against his side.
i "You better see him." Maize
said to Abe nervously, when Abe
sent his stereotyped reply that he
was not in. Something in he1
voice made Abe change his mind
so he said suddenly, "Well, let him
come" He knew he had an un-
pleasant interview ahead of him

CnAPTER As

SANDY was not the only one to
feel contempt for the avaricious
methods of the Acme Advertising
Agency, but there was none to
cause Acme trouble until Igor Bar
doni rose up to defend his rights.
The fiery little printer was just
one of the little fellows" whom
Sandy had surmised would be
crushed by the cut-throat prac-
tees Of Acme.
Several months before BardOni's
greedy little eyes had literally
popped at the prospect of a fat
$50, 900 account Abe had dangled
In front Of his nose. "Sure, I can
swing Hartley's business to you, if
you will play ball with me-" he had
said cautiously, and Igor was glad
to make it worth Abe's while to
win this remunerative account.
For weeks he had been giving him
below-cost prices, marking his
losses off to commissions and good
will that were to result in profit
able business of Hartley, the father
Of Zimmerman's partner.
AS the summer wore on igor
became increasingly alarmed at
the postponements Of the long
overdue contract. He had lost
more money than he could afford,
catering to Abe and his empty
promises. He sat in his grimy
Offices one day, nervously studying
the growing pile Of unpaid bills.
Suddenly he realized he was def
nitely facing bankruptcy unless
the Hartley account nateria'izcd
within the month. He had little
margin for improbable business,
and he had overstepped all reason
able bounds in dealing with Abe.
His brow furrowed in worry, he
went to the phone on the wall and
called Abe.
Halo, Zimmerman. This Is me,
Igor" he said when the connection
was complete. 'T haven't heard
from you in two-three days. May
be you have some good news for
me now, Ell ?"
Incredulous amazement was
written on Igor's face when he
heard Abe's voice. Igor shouted
back: what do you mean the
last job was not any good! I ran
It Off myself; there was no offset
on that job. It was a perfect piece
Of work! Say, listen, you can't
pull any Of that stuff on me. You'll

and stumbled blindIy to his chair.

recommendations to I'm.
prove Conditions Due in
Meeting Today.

The Thirty-fifth Annual Confer
ence OF State and Territorial Health
Officers of the Nation turned its at
tention today to the consideration of
q number Of recommendations and
reports dealing with various public
health problems.
The reports were to be presented
at a general session this morning by
committees of the conference. Surg.
Gen. Thomas Parran Of the United
States Public Health Service outlined
the problems to be considered in his
opening speech Yesterday, and for
the remainder Of the day the COM
mittees met separately to draw up
their recommendations
The closing sessions of the con-
ference today also were to be marked
by an address by Assistant Secretary
OF the Treasury Josephine Roche,
under whose direction the health
program provided under the social
security legislation is being carried
out.
Coordination Recommended.
In his talk Surg. Gen. Parran urged
thorough overhauling "of what we
have been teaching in the name of
health education" pointing out the
need for more effective coordination
OF health education activities OF the
Health Department with the activi-
ties Of other Federal, State and local
agencies engaged in educational work
or participating in promotional activi-
ties In fields closely related to public
health.
1T is my belief" he said, that
much Of the difficulty experienced
by health officers in obtaining ade-
quate appropriations and legislation
and securing freedom from political
interference in the selection and
maintenance of properly trained pro-
fessional and technical personnel can
be definitely attributed to our failure
to acquaint the public with the OBJ
jectives, achievements and Importance
OF health work"
DR.. Parran said the wisdom of
Congress in providing for continuing
grants in aid of health work is being
amply demonstrated in every State
and Territory. Declaring the devel-
opment of air travel has brought
again the menace OF yellow fever, he
urged establishment of special COM
mittee to consider the problem.
On the question of social disease
control he advocated appointment by
States of full-time venereal-disease
control oticers, free distribution of
anti-syphilitic drugs, Standardization
and improvement of the laboratory
dlagnostic services, improvement in
treatment facilities and more efficient
case reporting.
Promotion of programs directed
toward improvement in nutrition, as
advocated in paper read by DR..

tute of Health. also received the sup

SCULPTOR HUNTED
IN PENNSYLVANIA
Reported Seen Hitch-Hiking.
Killer May Have Made
Death Mask of Model.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK. April 8.-To the eS-
travagant details of an Easter triple
murder in Beekman Hill apartment
police added today the weird and
ghoulish possibility that the killer Of
Veronica Gedeon paused long enough
to press plaster upon her features
for death mask.
As Pennsylvania authorities checked
the chance that a sculptor-suspect,
Robert Irwin, had been seen hitch
hiking near Stroudsburg, Alexander
ETH, art supply dealer and Irwin's
former employer, said indications
pointed to such mask having been
made.
ETH. an expert in the business, eX-
planned the making of masks is rou-
tine work of apprentice art students.
Police scheduled another conference
with him today in an effort to obtain
additional clues to the identity of the
man who slew "Ronnie," her mother,
Mary, and Frank Byrnes, roomer.
Grains of Plaster Found.
Police said grains of plaster and
dirty washcloth had been found
In the Gedeon apartment, bit Of
adhesive plaster was stuck to Ron
in the room Irwin vacated late last
week.
ETH attached this possible sig
nlficance to the finds: The washcloth
contained soap such as is used by
artists to prevent plaster of paris
from sticking to the skin; tape often
is used to pin back the hair in max
ing masks, and salt makes plaster
harden quickly.
Irwin, ETH told police. learned
Matchmaking in Chicago, and in jan
uary and February of this year Or
dered from him supplies Of plaster,
modelling tools and dry clay.
Asks Federal Aid.
John A. Lyons, in charge of the
police detective division, asked Federal
authorities to watch transient relief
camps on the chance that the chief
suspect, apparently having deserted
New York., was on his way West.
The detective chief announced he
had been advised a man resembling
Irwin was seen hitch-hiking near
Stroudsburg Tuesday. He quoted a
travelling salesman as saying he gave
a man resembling Irwin a lift be-
tween Dingman's Ferry and the out
skirts of Stroudsburg.
The salesman, unnamed, attributed
this remark to his passenger said
Lyons: There are just two funda-
mental interests of man-sex and God.
God is the stronger" The same re-
mark was made by Irwin in a recent
interview.
Inspector Francis Kear and Capt.
Edward Mullins of the homicide squad
quoted William Shields Of Park Ridge,
N. j., an acquaintance of Irwin, as
saying the sculptor brooded for long
periods after Ethel Gedeon, Veronica s
sister, married Joseph Kudner.
: Lyons has said he learned Irwin
was angry with Veronica and Mrs.
Gedeon for frustrating his romance
with Ethel, dating from 1899, when
he roomed in the Gedeon home

BOUNDARY BRIDGE

Baltimore Contractor Gets
Officials O. K. for Temp.
orary Span.

A recommendation that Joseph A.
LeVezza & Sons Of Baltimore be given
contract for s24,875 to construct
temporary bridge across Boundary
Channel is on its way to Secretary
Ickes for approval, Federal officials
announced today. The Baltimore firm
proposes to do the work in $50 days.
H. J. Spelman, District Engineer for
the Bureau of Public Roads of the
Agriculture Department, announced
the recommendation is being forwarded
to officials of the National Park Serv-
ice, as we'll as to c. Marshall Finnan,
superintendent of the National Capt.
tai Parks. Eleven firms sought the Job.
The bridge will be constructed from
the northwest corner of Columbia
Island to the Virginia mainland It
will form an important link in giving
access to the George Washington Me-
mortal Parkway. Spelman explained
that the temporary bridge is to be built
because of the necessity of permitting
the earthen fill to settle. Bad foupda-
ton conditions were encountered by
the engineers when they made tests on
the spot.
Road construction is now going for
ward in the George Washington Me-
mortal Parkway, between Arlington
Memorial Bridge and Rosslyn, Va. An
overpass is to be constructed later over
the railroad tracks to connect with the
Lee Boulevard, projected at the north
erly end of Arlington National Gene
terry and Fort Myer, Va.
The Bureau of Public Roads, at the
request of the National Park Service,
is studying plans for an extra span in
the Key Bridge on the Virginia side.
The George Washington Memorial
Parkway drive is designed to pass un-
der the Key Bridge, to avoid a grade
crossing, and will connect with the Lee
Highway, up ravine. just upstream

WAYS. Ga, April (R.-Henry
Ford's long opposition to organized
labor was crystallised today In q
declaration that the Ford Motor Co.
will never recognise the United Auto
mobile Workers Union or any other
union"
Ford in an interview at his Winter
home yesterday also lashed at sit
down strikes, saying, Those who
seize property not their own are in
the same category as housebreakers.
The politicians who are elected as our
public servants are policemen in q
sense and should protect our rights. -
In the course Of the interview the
73-year-old manufacturer said he Just
had been advised of brief sit-down
at his company's St. Louis assembly
plant in which a few strikers were
escorted out peacefully"
ANY of our workers who strike will
be escorted out Of the plant involved" ="
he added.
Does Not Reveal Plans,
Beyond saying there would be no
collective bargaining with union forces
he would not indicate how he might
deal with strikers not using the sit
down technique.
There have been rumors he might
allow any strike-closed plants to re-
main shut indefinitely, invoking his
resources to outlast the workers.
Ford, who last month advised work.
ers to "stay out Of labor unions" for
their own good, said he felt workers
participating in recent strikes have
lost-they're being organized and had
their freedom taken away. They pay
money to the unions and get nothing
in return.
History shows that all improve
ments In labor have come out Of in
dustry, and never out Of coercion or
politics. This Is quite logical. II we
don't do our part to create . market
by paying good wages We can't sell
our goods"
Just back from Dearborn. where he
conferred with company ohiciak dur
ing settlement Of strike in his Kan
sas City plant last Friday, Ford said
I'VE made no concessions. Our men
know what We can do and what we
can't do. Well deal with them In
