Jackie did not care whether she
ate or not, though she knew that
was silly. She hated to leave the
tower for even a short while. She
wanted to be on hand for Rogers
first message. 1t was fascinating,
too, listening to the different mes
sages that were coming in steadily
now since the mornings schedules
had begun. She could imagine
those other planes crcling for
their landings, or waiting to take
off, as plainly as though she could
sec them on the field beneath her
eyes. But, since there would not
re any word from Rogers plane
for some time, she decided to take
Macs suggestion.
She knew that the next two
hours would be the longest, the
most difficult, she would ever eX-

beacon swept Enthusiastically back
and forth, lighting its path in the
sky. Tiny strings of lights bound
the field, with red ones for OBJ
struction lines. The green code
beacon blinkcd on and off like Il
huge eye.
Over the hook-ups a voice
would boom forth suddenly, loud
and somewhat distorted, often in
coherent when a blare of static
interfcred. After while, though,
ones ears accustomed themselves
so that words and call-letters
formed.
"Anything YETI" Jackie asked,
as Mac swung on his high stool
during few moments silence.
Roger must be on his way by now.
THE Morning Eagle phoned in
that he took off at 2 bells to the
dot" Mac said. That would make
it ) o'clock here. Probably won't
get anything more until Wichita.
You'd better grab off a little
sleep for yourself, Jackie"
Jackie shook her head. She
knew that would be impossible.
She was so keyed up that all her
nerves were like taut wires. Day
was breaking now in the east,
turning the sky into a brilliant
spectacle, and miles away Roger
was steadily climbing up, up, up
into that other world where there
was no night, no day, where the
stars shone always.
She settled herself for q long
wait and she did GoZc a little.
There was very little local activ-
ity at the field yet, so that only
an occasional message flashed in
to the tower. Once Mac talked to
a pilot who wanted taxi on hand
for passenger when they landed.
Mac said he would attend to it,
then kidded a bit, much as one
would over ones telephone at
home. That's service for YOU"
he said to Jackie. "Order your
cab a hundred miles away in the
airw.
Glow high do you suppose
Roger is now" Jackie asked. She
could not promote an interest in
anything else.
She had not much more than
asked her question when a boy
came up from the tclctypc room
to bring her a message. 1t was
the first direct relay from Rogers
ship. 1t had been sent to the De-
partment of Commerce at Wich-
tia.

 "The results indicate that both groups working together in uni- son accomplished a decisive victory and will seat thelr uncontrolled delegates, representative of the en- tire Democratic party, in the com- ing senatorial convention"
 Town Committee Backed It
 Contrary to other reports, the de- feat of the Pickett ticket was not seen as involving the issue made in other descriptions as representing rebuff for the town committee. h. aSmuch as the town committee ap- proved the delegates finally listed Monday night in form which Chair man John H. Crary accepted to avert a primary, observers today re- marked that MT. Picketts ticket was independent of support other than that of his friends. Fact that he had been a member of the town com- mittee for a number of years ap- parently did not mean that the com- mittee's organization was backing him.
 Senator Pickett Did We'll
 Had the town committee entered actively in the 18th senatorial prim- ary it was remarked that the vote would have shown this support for MT Pickett, inasmuch as there are 8329 Democrats registered on the primary list and the 30 per cent ballot last night indicated slight activity of organization part in the affair. In fact, the showing made by MT. Pickett, without organiza- tion and pitted against at least two factions which have been organiz- ing districts for several weeks, was deemed indicative of the general apathy of the electorate so far as intra-party issues are concerned.
 Active in the district in which he resides, William "Tipper" Conley, who earlier announced his candi- dacy for the senatorial nomination in the 18th district, was present at LeavenWorth high school and in the second district of ward five throughout the balloting.

 It was not until midnight that the full text was made available for morning newspaper publication and so 1t was not until midnight that the full text was made available for morning newspaper publication and 50 1t was not until they rose today that Mexicans knew how strongly the American state department phrased its note.
 Pending formal reply by the government, people looked to Presi- dent Lazaro Cardenas to redefine the administrations position on land and oil property appropriation in his messaeg to congress which meets next Thursday.
 No Sign of Alteration
 There was no sign that the presi- dent intended to diverge radically from his program of nationaliza- tion, an essential part of his long range plan for betterment of con- ditions among the poorer people.
 The government has emphasized its intention to pay for foreign properties appropriated, and has refused arbitration suggestions on the ground that so long as it pays for them its position under inter national law is sound. Foreign ob- servers were inclined to ask what might happen if Mexico, giving in to the United States, should agree to arbitration, should be ordered to pay for appropriated properties un- der an arbitration award and then should find herself unable to pay Seized oil properties-not mentioned in the American note-are worth $400 ,0O0, ,000.
 The foreign office received the note yesterday morning. At that time, 1t was said at the American embassy that Ambassador Josephus Daniels had not yet received a copy. When the text was issued, it was seen that the rote was decided advance insofar as the strength of United States representations were concerned.
