tumultuous reception from the warm hearted American people, whose reputation for hospitality is world famous. The visit is bound to strengthen the existing friendship between the two branches of the English speaking peoples"
 As the king made his speech, pol- iticians were discussing excitedly a serious government defeat in a house of commons by-election.
 A woman, running on the labor party ticket, had wrested com mons seat from the conservatives in an election fought squarely on the issue of the Munich agreement for the disnemberment of Czechoslo- vakia. The question put to the voters was: Had Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain won peace? The answer of the voters was inter- preted by politicians as being no.
 Joseph P. Kennedy, American ambassador, attending his first state opening of parliament, sat in the front row of the diplomatic box in the House of Lords, at the right of the throne, and heard the king arl- nounce his acceptance of President Rcosevelt's invitation to visit the United States.

clear rules, regulations and inter pretations and that fire eating "crackdown" threats are rnerci- fully missing from the picture. Yet even employers anxious to obey the law have their worries, trou- bles and complaints.
 Many worry over the possibility of double damage suits for unpaid overtime, a possibility under the law if employees later decide they've been entitled to time and a half pay for work over 4 hours and haven't had it. After year or two such suits might run into money. Some employers contem- plate requiring workers to sign books each week, saying they've been fully paid. But most law yers are advising: When in doubt, comply with the law pending court decisions"

today, it was indicated that the earlier estimates of 30,000 might be high.
 The Waterbury vote at 3 o'clock two years ago was 28,229 and the total vote here in the Roosevelt landslide was 37,959. Four years ago the total vote in the state election was 30,838.
 Of course, if the figure of 4,000 votes behind last years totals should hold through the day, then the city would count a 34,OO0 total of votes.
 Comparative Figures
 Comparative figures at o'clock totals in 1892 and 1884 show that in the presidential year, 1892, 19,068 ballots had been cast at that hour, as against 13,691 in the state elec- ton year, 1884.
 Early voting today in about a third of the new 32 districts showed the following proportions between the hour of 10 and II o'clock. District 1-1, 320 of 1,441 votes; dis trict Ia, a5g of 1,509 votes: district 1-6, 183 of 498 votes; district 2-1. Al of 1,541 votes; district 2-6, 800 of 1,275 votes: district 3-6, S51, of 1,O2O votes; district 3-7, 400 of 1,168 votes; district 3-8, 250 of l,077 votes; district 5-1, 300 of 1,413 votes; i; district 5-4, 373 Sof 1905 votes.
 How They Appear
 Those familiar with the eharac- ter of the votes in the above dis trict scan determine, to some extent, what percentage of party afiliation is represented in the early figures.
 In some of the districts reported above, the moderators reported com paratiyely light voting, in others they figured that they were keeping a good average with the state elec- tion vote of four years ago.

 Hyde Park, N. Y, Nov. 8-(UP)- The White House revealed today for the first time that the president has invited King George and Queen Elizabeth of Great Britain to visit the United States next year, and that in all probability the invitation would be accepted.
 In response to questions, the White House authorized the follow ing statement:
 "The president is very happy to know that the king and queen of Great Britain hope to be able to ac- cept his invitation to visit the United States next summer. While no definite plans have been made. it is expected that their majesties will be able to stay in this country for four or five days"

 Washington, Nov. 8-This wage hour act, with all it's headaches, is arousing less bitterness among those affected by it and those administer ing it than almost any previous piece of New Deal regulatory legis- lation.
 Confidential interviews with law yers, lobbyists, manufacturers, labor leaders and officials intimately con- nected with the laws administration elicit agreement on that point.
 That doesn't mean there aren't points of friction, that anyone thinks the law is perfect, that all employers agree with the official interpretations or even that there isn't plenty of annoyance in the first month of the acts operation. Employers representatives think Administrator Elmer E. Andrews shows desire to administer Che law fairly, that his tiny, overworked legal stah has given commercially

 California's Novel Scrap
 California's electorate, in choos- ing between Sheridan Downey, vic- tor over administration backed Sen. William Gibbs McAdoo in the Dem ocratic primary, and Philip Ban- croft, conservative Republican, will at the same time decide whether or not they want the $30-every-T Thurs day pension plan advocated by the Democratic candidate.
 Contests for Governor
 The gubernatorial contests at tracted unusual interest because they are packed with political po- tentialities in such pivotal states as New York, Pennsylvania, Michi- gan, Massachusetts and Ohio. Re- publican success in any one of these states would focus the 1940 presiden- tial spotlight on the victor, just as it picked up Alfred M. Landon in 1886 after he survived two Demo- cratic landslides.
 Republican victory in any of the major gubernatorial elections also would carry with it state patronage to infuse new life into under-nour- ished Republican organizations.
 The Pennsylvania governorship lay between Judge Arthur H. James, red-haired former coal miner who is carrying the COP banner, and Charles Alvin Jones, a Pittsburg lawyer.
 The Ohio race was between Re- publican John w. Bricker and Dem- ocrat Charles Sawyer. The latter busted Gov. Martin L. Davey from the political picture by trimming him in the primaries.
 In Michigan, Gov. Frank Murphy sought reelection against Frank D. Fitzgerald, Republican. President Roosevelt recently charged that the Dies Investigating committee was be- ing used as q sounding-board for anti-Murphy propaganda.

Confusion resulted at Leaven- worth high school, listed as Dis- trict 5-1, 20 South Elm street, be- cause many of the voters used the South Elm street entrance to the high school when actually the polls were located in the Clark school, with entrance on ScoviIl street. Party workers were kept busy directing the voters to the proper place to cast their ballots.
 Democratic headquarters in the East End was busy throughout the early hours with predictions there that a- large vote will be cast in the fifth ward.
 Out at the barn of Walter A. Smethurst, district 1-6 polling place, everything was serene. There were new lights and a ra- diO played intermittently between the light voting in the small dis trict. Of the 498 votes in total, 183 had been cast at about 1O:SO o'clock and Moderator Carmen Errico predicted that the entire electorate would be out before 6 O'clOcd rolls around.
 MT. Smethurst, owner of the building which made headlines when Electrical Inspector Martin c.

He was not of the opinion that Controller Sherwood L. Row land will reimburse him, but he had Il , vote of the officials there for repayment of his expense by the Republican financial agent of the city.

CHAPTER XIII

Gunnar Thorwald was pacing the
corridor when Duncan Van Doren
got out of the elevator. Duncan's
head was down; he did not see the
fiier. Gunnar stared incredulously,
striding toward him, thrusting out
an arm to block his way.
"You have seen herr" There was
an emphasis on the first pronoun
which made the question at once
demand and protest.
Duncan looked at him with SWIM
ming eyes, nodding, his face con-
vulsed. He manifested no resent
ment, no conviction that before him
stood the cause of the tragedy; only
an engulfng flood of sympathy and
sorrow. He gulped, cropping for his

Gunnar pushed past him toward
the elevator, but it rose as he
reached it, so he turned and went
leaping up the stairs. A woman with
a big bouquet of garden flowers
shrank out of his way.
Mercy" she said to her hus-
band. "That fellow looks like a
mental easel"
He flung himself through the door
in spite of the card in the brass
frame which read:

NO VISITORS
but he stood still on the threshold,
staring.
Mrs. Dana, standing at the WIN
dow, her back to him, turned at
the sound of his entrance. "Please
leave the room" she said in an an
CRY whisper. ''No callers are per-
mitted. My daughter is"
Gunnar was not listening. There
was nothing she could tell him about
her daughter. He continued to stand
still, looking at her.
Leave this room instantly! I will
ring for an orderly to put you Quit"
Mrs. Dana cried wildly. Haven't
you done enough? Aren't you salts
fed with the suffering, the agony"
she was bearing down on him in
soft fury. "Do you want to kill

But Gunnar had reached the bed.
He had leaned over Sarah Lynn,
shaking, and said her name.
She was as nearly white as the
olive and amber and ivory of her
skin could be, and her nose, her
brow. her chin. her cheek-bOneS
were as sharp and salient as if they
had been chiseled from marble. Her
eyes flew open, bigger and darker
than ever, sunk in Swallowed hol-

ing joy.

and win new friends.
OF course congressman or sena-
tor could go into hiding every sum-
mer, but he wouldn't last more than
one term. AS it is, more than one
lawmaker is complaining right now
because he must serve on special
senate or house committee which
operates during 'fence patching"
season. The smart politician will
head for home every opportunity he
gets, making himself convenient to
constituents; not forcing his way,
you understand, but just being
around to see the scores of unhappy
people with pressing problems. It's

They did not tell Sarah Lynn
about Kitty Medill. They did not,
in the first days, tell her about any,
thing. She was constantly under OPT
ates. Sometimes, when their effect
wore thin, she murmured feverishly,
anxiously.
"Gunnar ;" the name came
through the confusion again and
again. "Gunnar :"
Her mother, her beauty deepened
and clarified by draining grief, hung
over her in an agony of tenderness.
Eyes, darling! What is it, darling?
What are you trying to say? Tell
Mother!"
''Let me-" the nurse said capably,
taking her place. "Yes. Gunnar. I
understand, she said slowly and
clearly. "You want to see Gunnar?"
The head, held rigidly in frame,
could not move, but the eyes rolled
wildly in negation. "No, no, mol"
She made great effort. "Tell him
tell him"
"Yes. I understand. What shall
I tell him?"
Don't come in here Don't
come in here Go away!"
Cali right, dearie. I'll tell him.
Now you go to sleep again." Miss
Burke Strengthened up. She was
young enough and gallant enough to
revel in the drama of the case and
she thought that particular phase OF
delirium pretty sad. She followed
Mrs. Dana out into the hall. "Of
course, that doesn't mean a thing"
she was beginning briskly when the
mother interrupted.
''Mr. Thorwald is downstairs?"
Goodness, yes! Always. I don't
know when he eats or sleeps. He"
''Then, will you kindly go down
and tell him exactly what my
daughter has just said?"
The nurse hesitated. But, you
understand that she is delirious,
Mrs. Dana? 1t doesn't mean"
The large and lovely lady drew
herself to her full imposing height.
"You will be good enough to do as
I ask, Miss Burke. Tell him exactly
what she said, and without COM
ment," she said levelly.
Miss Burke disdained the elevator
and ran down three flights of sound
proof stairs on her heelless rubber
soles. "Aha! So, that's the scena-
rio!" she told herself, deciding to
tell the Norwegian ace exactly what
she pleased. She found him as usu-
al walking up and down the long
hall.
"a changer" he demanded in a
queer, spent voice.
"No. We weren't expecting any
change, you know. She is certainly
no worse"

Fierceness of Bald Eagle Is Myth;
Never Saw Bird Attack Student Says

The perennial yarns of the preda-
tory fierceness of the bald eagle
once again have been busted off and
are being broadcast throughout the
land. Just a short time ago / read
in national magazine of wide cir
culation that "the eagles are seldom
gentle and are among the fiercest
birds of prey" writes N. R. castillo
in Nature Magazine. "They attack
sheep, rabbits and often wolves.
Eagles have tremendous appetites
and have been known to devour a
calf, sheep and dog in a single
week" The author of the article,
however, fails to disclose whether
it was single bird or a group of
them that "devoured'' the formid-
able repast. But, he does convey
the impression that eagles had ac-
tually brought down the animals
mentioned.
In another influential periodical it
was averred that eagles have been
known to attack children, and one
was seen to fight and carry off a
wildcat. Paradoxically, in another
issue of the same paper there was
an item about an eagle being ig-

Duncan Van Doren arrived within
the first week after the accident.
Duncan's well-bred face showed
the effects of grief and shock; its
pleasant veneer was rubbed off.

Mrs. Dana gave him a wan smile.
