HUNTS WAY OUT

There must be a way out! There
had to be! He'd been in tighter
tougher spots than this. The thing
to do was to figure an angle
Maybe Maybe if he circled
Sure! That was it! Circle!
The Catfish took one step to
the left and listened. There was
no sound save the cry of coyote
on a distant slope. He risked
a secondhand a third-and a
fourth.
The Catfish breathed easier. A
low thorny shrub pricked his legs.
AS soon as he was around that
the way would be clear to the
road!
He wondered if rattlers, like
dogs and cats, could see in the
Oakland bent low as he circled
the bush. Then he stopped for a
long minute and listened. The
night was silent. The Catfish
chuckled to himself.
He'd fooled that damn snake
He'd live to collect that fifty thou
sand bucks. But on his first step
toward the road the chuckle
changed to a scream Of terror,
The rattle had sounded almost in
his face.
The Catfish ran blindly. There
was a single and CHASTITY Shrek
of unfathomable horror that
echoed among the rocks of the
canyon-and then the night was
quiet again.
The State troopers who found
the old car and the baby, also dis
covered the body Of the late un-
lamented Catfish on the rocks at
the bottom of the wash.
The fall had broken his neck.
How he happened there. they
never could explain-but caught
on one of the hooks Of his high
topped shoes was a length of COM
mon string.
The nursemaid identified 1t.
Testified that she had tied it to
a corner of the stolen child's
blanket on the night Of the kid
naming.
Why? Why. because the baby
always threw his toys out his crib
and she had to pick them up.
What toy had she tied on the
cord? Well-she didn't know
didn't recall exactly.
Sometimes it was one thing and
sor1etimes-oh. yes! she remem.
bered now! On the night Of the
kidnaping it had been rattle!
Yes. sir--that was it. A child's

NEEDS ROCK

That was the ticket-a rock. A
~good-sized rock. Then let her try
to slip! The Catfish felt along the
ground-weighing this one and
that one-but no rock came to his
hands that came up to the speci-
fications of shape and weight that
he had in mind.
= But there'd be plenty of them
OFF the road. Sure-hundreds of
swell rocks. Only he'd have to
take it slow-watch his step.
There were places along here
where the ground dropped away
. couple Of hundred feet or more,
Cautiously putting one foot in
front of the other, the Catfish
left the road.
A sharp rattle came out of the
darkness.
The Catfish froze In his tracks

and his blood turned to water.

about them in the Los Angeles
paper just two days back. If one
bit you-and there wasn't a doc
handy-you cashed in your
checks.
And it wasn't like getting
bumped off with a gat. You
didn't die right off. You lived long
enough to know you were dying.
The night was warm but the Cat
fish shivered.
He stared into the darkness. If
he could only see the damned
snake! But it couldn't be more
than a few yards back to the car
and safety! Sure-there were the
lights there. He could make it
easy!
A man can travel faster than 6
snake. The Catfish made frugal
about face. He licked his dry lips.
So far. so good. There was no
sound from the RATHER. With ut
most caution the Catfish took q
tentative step toward the road.
The rattler buzzed a warning
not three feet ahead.
Palsy struck the Catfish's limbs.
He held his breath-momentarily
expecting to feel hot fangS lane
ing his flesh.
But nothing happened. No
sound No movement. The Cat
fish exhaled a long choking sob.
There was security such few
short steps away-so close-but he
couldn't reach 1t.

HOUSE LEADERS
MAP NEWFIGHT
TO SAVE CCC
international News Service

Startled by two uprisings in
the House which threatened
President Roosevelt's spending
program, Administration leaders
mapped plans today to regain
party control.
The first move was to be an
attempt to reverse action taken
yesterday in voting to limit the
Civilian Conservation Corps to
two years instead of accepting
Mr.. RooSevelt's recommendation
to make it permanent.
The second was to line up
votes in the Appropriations Com
mittee to reverse the deficiency
subcommittee, which voted to
slash the $780, 100000 WPA
fund asked by Mr.. Roosevelt to
1,000,000,000.
Meantime, House Republicans
proposed to wipe out WPA and
to substitute a system of grants
to States, with States controlling
the expenditures. They deferred
asking for a specific amount I'M
til the relief battle reaches the
House floor.
The House voted 224 to "a to
limit the CCC to two years, cut
the salary of Robert Fechner, d.
rector, from $4,000 to $4,000,
struck all Civil Service provisions
from the bill and made 10 hours
Of vocational or general training
compulsory each week in CCC
camps. The votes we're subject to
reversal today.
The House Appropriations Com
mittee, composed of % Democrats
and II Republicans, is slated to
vote tomorrow on the subcommit-
tee recommendation to cut the
relief fund to $1,000,000,000. The
subcommittee vote was five to
four, two Democrats and three
Republicans voting for the cut
and four Democrats opposing it.
The suddenneSS and intensity
of the battle over the Civilian
Conservation caught House
leaders by surprise. The measure
proposed to make the CCC a
permanent agency of the Govern
n4ent with an enrolled strength
Of $4,000.
Leaders had expected only a
mild attempt by bloc headed by
Representative Jack Nichols CD,
Oklahoma, to force the enrollee
strength to $4,000 and thought
they had rallied sufficient votes to
turn that thrust aside. Then the
storm broke.
The fury increased as stamped
ing Democrats defeated an amend
ment providing for general voca-
tional and educational education
in CCC camps. His face flushed,
Chairman John j. O'Connor CD =,
New York, of the powerful Rules
Committee, shouted above the din
that the value of the bill had been
destroyed and that extension of
the CCC should be limited to two
years unless the vocational feature
was included.

Bourbons Appear
In New Plans On
Future of Spain

Hendaye, Franco-Spanish Frontier
Dee. 7.-(AP) Fran Prince Xavier. of
Ourcon-Parna, head Of the tradi-
tionaiist branch of the Spanish royal
family, was reported today to have
agreed with Insurgent General Fran
cisco Franco con the necessity for
uniting ell Spaniards worthy of the
name on a basis of national and ira
ditional principles
While intense cold and snow sus-
pended military operations along the
entire Aragon front of northeastern
Spain, dispatches from Salamanca,
the insurgent capital, told CT a con-
ference in which Xavier and Franco
discussed the present and future OF
Spain.
Dispatches reaching the French
border from government sources said
the only activity was brief observa-
ton flights by both government and
insurgent planes and customary cx-
changes of artillery fire.
An ultimatum which insurgent sour
ces said demanded unconditional sur
render of the government under
threat of a new offensive expired
without any apparent change in the
civil war situation.

formation into domiciles, great and
small.
Producers of such materials stimuli
taneOusly are wailing that these
sought-for rate advances, if granted
will make their stuff so expensive
that house building will be discourag-
ed before it begins The President sug-
gests that mass production should cut
prices in the field of home construc-
ton, as in other industries. Building
material men agree-but not if the
cuts they make are offset by CORE
spondingly higher transportation
charges.
SO-It's Puzzle!
have had occasion to refer to this
transportation difficulty before.
The railroaders reply that it is i'm
material how the building folk feel;
they (the railroads) will go bankrupt
unless they are paid higher rates.
AS a matter of abstract justice the
ridiculously watered stock railroads
doubtless ought to ego broke, but it
certainly would be economically very
disorganizing to have them do it. The
next generation but one or two prob
ably would benefit by it, but not the
generation right now.
1t would take a tremendous build
ing boom to maintain national pros.
perity in the face of the financial col
lapse of practically all of the coun
try's railroads.
And the railroads doubtless are cor
rect in saying that they must havs
higher rates to pay dividends on thei,
ovar-ca pitalization-or "bust".
Contrariwise, the building materia
men are correct in saying that, if rail
road rates are advanced, the housing
program will fizzle without ever hav
ing started in.
AS To Labor.
The Presidents opinion is tina
building labor charges more per hour
than would-be home builders can af
ford to pay.
He reasons that, on a lower scale
there would be much more building
thus the worker while getting les
hourly, occasionally considered, would
have o steady job, and make more PEI
annum.
The workers unions admit that thi:
NAV be true, but they ask guaran
tee. It isn't forthcoming. 1t is ONLY
