THAYER, MO-, BUILDS OWN
POWER I; DEFIES
STRIKE OF UTILITY CO.
BY C / OHR

KANSAS CITY, Mo.-(FP)-The
little town of Thayer, population
LOO, in south central Missouri, has
defied all efforts of the powerful
Arkansas-Missour Power Co. to
force it to drop its plans for a mu-
nicipally-owned power and light
plant.
First the corporation went to court
for an injunction against the city.
There it was defeated. The next
move was to cut off all service to the
town, on the pretext that the court
had held it had no right to operate
without a franchise.
This effort of the corporation to
intimidate Thayer had the opposite
effect. The citizens went right ahead
with their plans to build their own
power plant, and returned to candles
and kerosene lamps for light, and gas
engines for temporary power.
The state Public Service Commits
sion interviewed, however, and or
dered the corporation to turn on
electricity until formal steps had
been taken to abandon service. The
City Council thereupon met and
notified the company that while light
and power might be turned on for
private users, the city did not care
to deal with the corporation. Streets
and municipal buildings remain
dark. In the meantime the city is
speeding up construction of its own
plant.

She had no way Of knowing what
time it was, but it seemed hours
later when she heard the sound OF
hurried feet outside mingled with
voices. Someone seemed to be
having scufae.
Then the door was thrown open
Noel sat up on the couch and saw
Nick, his hair tousled, and his tie
twisted.
He motioned the young man to
the door. "Get out!" he ordered
in his tight-lpped voice. The boy
obeyed.
Nick shut the door behind him,
locked it. His breath was coming
rapidly and it was some time be-
fore he seemed to be able to get
his breath.
Noel stood there looking at him
with contempt. $50 it was you
who did this ?". She was conscious
Of a slight relief. She had COPIED
with Nick before. She could do
it again.
Nick merely stood there looking
at her for a moment without
speaking.
"Do you actually believe you can
get away with a thing like this %
Noel demanded.
Nick still didn't answer. He was
still looking at her.
"Nick, why did you have me
brought here? I want to know
What can you hope to gain 2" Noel
persisted.
"You haven't any idea, have
you, Miss Noel Shayne?" Nick's
voice suddenly Knocked.

"But don't you know all men like

"You can't get away with this"
II see you read the fairy stories
about the G-men," he said with a
semblance of a smile.
IT tell you you won't get away
with it. IF you don't let me go
you're going to be sorry mighty
sorry, Nick" she emphasized.
"Hush" Nick had one ear
turned to the door as if listening
for someone outside. Suddenly he
said, "We've got to talk fast"
What do you mean? If, it's
ransom money, I'll pay it," she
said quickly.
Nick looked again toward the
door, cautioned her to be quiet,
then he said very low, II suppose
you would, and not even miss the
money"
who told you my identity?"

"a girl by the name of Ruth

her slightly she volunteered the
information"
"How soon will you get me away
from here ?" Noel asked. 1--WE told
you money is no object"
1.-THE money hasn't much to do
with it," Nick said very low. Its
the Garwood matter. They'll take
the money, however-no reason
why they shouldn't"
please tell me what you mean,"
Noel begged.
"They suspect that you know
more than believe you do" Nick
said. That's why it's going to be
hard for me"
He didn't finish. He walked
over on tiptoe and listened at the
keyhole. Then, apparently reas-
sured, he came back.
II know nothing of those peo-
ple," Noel began, except that the
child is not well. I was very
anxious about her."
Nick held up warning finger.
Then he said in a loud voice, "All
right, Miss Shayne. If you're go
ing to make it difficult, you'll find
it to your own disadvantage. IF
you're willing to see reason, you
won't be ill-treated."
A sudden firm step had sounded
outside. ''And the sooner YOU
make up your mind, the better.
We mean business. Will you get
that into your head?" Nick's
voice was still loud and emphatic.
It was plain enough now that
Nick was talking for the benefit
of someone outside. He kept his
voice loud enough to be heard on
the other side of the door.
Then he spoke again, his voice
very low. I'm not after ransom
money. I'm here to get you out
Of this. You must listen carefully
and do exactly as I say. Refuse
to sign the ransom note. Keep on
refusing. Stall any possible way
you can. Deny that you're the
right girl. Anything. Tomorrow
night at midnight I'll have my
plans made. Exactly at II O'clock.
you must let yourself down from
the outside of the window. I'll be
there to catch YOU"
Then he said again loudly,
You're stubborn, aren't you ?"
The next minute he left the room.
Noel heard him say, shell do it
though it may take time" to
someone outside the door.
Was Nick really going to help
her, or was it a trick?

NO winner seen
IN BIG NEW WAR
Central Powers Eventually
Would Lose in Conflict
of Attrition.
~ the Associated Press.

~ tue AsDoClAtoo STeSo.
Experts here predicted today that
If Europe plunged into . general
war no nation would emerge . victor.
Based on the assumption that Ger
many. Italy and perhaps other nations
would battle England, France. Russia,
Czechoslovakia and some smaller
countries, . survey Of highly informed
opinion showed virtually unanimous
agreement on the, following predic-
tions:
CSechoslovakia would be battered
into submission long before effective
aid could be offered by England,
France and Russia.
Germany. with Italy and any other
allies, would succumb eventually to
superior resources in q war Of attrition
like that Of 1914-1S.
The nominal victors, however, then
would face economic and social chaos.
Csechs' Position Hopeless.
Odds against effective military aid
to beleaguered Czechoslovakia ap-
pear almost hopeless, in the eyes OF
highly placed ofhcials here.
Although Czech frontier fortifica-
tions are strong. the little republic
is regarded as vulnerable to power
tactics in her central area, the Mo-
ravian Valley.
Should France attack Germany in
the west she would encounter Hitler's
new siegfried line of fortiications
after crossing the Rhine. She would
be fighting on three frontiers should
Germany and Italy be able to operate
through insurgent Spain as well rs
along their own borders.
Britain would contribute her ma
val might to blockade, experts say,
but could dispatch only limited num-
ber of men and planes to France at
the outset Of war.
Russia's Actual Aid Uncertain.
The extent to which Russia could
help the Czechs depends on Rumania.
With Rumania's permission Soviet
planes might be flown to aid Czecho-
slovakia. But troops could move only
by motor truck over mountain roads
or via q circuitous, single-track rail-
way, which experts have labeled lin
effective" Russia, moreover, must keep
an eye on Japan, thousands of miles
to the east.
1taly's warships and planes, some
authorities here believe, might be able
to control the Mediterranean, forcing
British ships to round Africa to reach
India and the Pacific dominions and
all but preventing France from get
ting assistance from her African en-
pire.
In a prolonged war, it is believed,
aircraft would play q spectacular
though indecisive part.
Reich Air Force First.
Germany is widely credited with
being the worlds strongest air power.

allowed Mr.. Chamberlain to make the

British government accepted the prin-
ciple of self-determination he was
quite ready to discuss ways and
means Of carrying it out.
But II, on the contrary, thought
such a principle could not be consid-

he agreed it was of no use to continue

Il, Of course, was in no position to
give there and then such an >assur-
ance, but I undertook to return At

would refrain from active hostilities
until I had time to obtain their reply.
That assurance he gave me, pro-
vided, he said, nothing happened In
Czechoslovakia Of such q nature as to
force his hand. and that assurance has
remained binding ever since.
1T was clear to me that, with Ger
man troops in the position they then
occupied, nothing that anybody could
do would prevent that invasion unless
the right of self determination was
granted to Sudeten Germans, and
that was the sole hope of q peaceful
solution"
Then Mr.. Chamberlain outlined

Czechoslovakia, deciding that the
