thousand cities and 600 affiliated
trade associations. They reported
conditions in their localities and
classes of business after John W..
O'Leary, chairman of the chambers
executive committee, opened the
session.
President Roosevelt, who was on
a fishing trip on a cruiser in South
Atlantic waters, was heard from
only indirectly in addresses by Jesse
Jones of RFC, Secretary of War
Woodring and Chester c. Davis Of
the federal reserve board.
Resolutions were temporarily
worded but insistent. Summarized,
they were substantially as follows:
Demand for relief from present
tax burdens, the fight transferring
itself from the undistributed cor
porate profits tax and the capital
gains tax to the broader field of an
annual tax bill which has jumped 80
per cent in the last two years to a
total federal-state-local levy of $13,-
500,000,000 year.
Urgent request for drastic revi-
sion or repeal of the national la
Dor relations act.
Caution and warning on the re-
newed government spending pro-
gram, apart from relief expendi-
lures.
Insistence that White House senti-
ments favoring private enterprise be
put into practice through peace with
the utilities, abstention from further
innovations in government control,
and encouragement of private indus
trial expansion.

OF the program are
yet to be adopted The party al
ready has a symbol, a red circle on
white background with g. blue
cross in the center.
Basic principles of the new party,
the governor said, include:
"The ownership and control Of
money and credit, without qualifi-
cation or reservation, must be under
public and not private control.
"The organized power of this ma
ton must stop at nothing short of
necessary steps to restore to every
American the absolute right to earn
his living by the sweat of his brow.
''We believe in the basic concepts
of American government and, in
particular, that grants of power al
ways should be safeguarded against
abuse.
i; Those who work on the farm and
in the city must be given security,
not security founded on produc-
ing less for more, or working less
for more. We propose security
founded on definite, decent annual
income for all.
1--WE fatty oppose every form of
coddling, or spoon feeding the Amer
lean people-whether it be those on
relief-whether it be farmers or
workers-whether it be business or
industry.

F.D.R. Hits at MonopoIies

JUST before leaving for his short
- vacation at sea, President Roose-
welt called on congress to authorize
100000 federal inquiry into con-
centration Of industrial economic
power, preparatory to thorough
revision at a later date of the ma
tion's antitrust laws.
He recommended study of exist
ing conditions rather than immedi-
ate legislation.
The President asked congress for
action at this session only on legis-
lation calling for federal control Of

FARMERS of the Middle West are
in open revolt against the AAA
corn crop control program, and the
movement, started In Macomb, ILL.,,
was spreading so fast throughout
the corn belt that officials of the
Department of Agriculture were
considering possible modification OF
the program so as to allow individu-
al growers larger allotments. The
Illinois farmers formed the Corn
Belt Liberty league, and growers
from Iowa, Wisconsin, Indiana,
Michigan, Missouri and Minnesota
who attended the meetings of the
league went home to promote the
organization of branches in their
states.
Tilden Burg, president of the or
ganization, said in addressing its
second session: "Our purpose is to
oppose in every honorable way the
un-American program of compul-
sorry crop control. Most of us have
spent our lives on the farm. We
have an affection for our lands and
an interest in their operation that
probably cannot be understood by
politicians in Washington. Our
farms will not be the same when we
have jobholders from Washington
telling us what we can and cannot
plant, perhaps under threat of pros
ecution and penalty.
above all else we are fighting
for freedom. We positively refuse
to accept the view that we must
sacrifice freedom to obtain pros
perity. On the contrary, we believe
the loss of freedom will mean pow
erty and ruin"

Wage-Hour Bill Stopped

p REPRESENTATIVE O'Connor's
- house rules committee probably
killed the new "escalator" wage
hour bill for this session by voting,
8 to 6, against reporting it. This
despite the fact that Chairman Mary
Norton of the labor committee said
it was approved by the President.
She said she would try to have the
measure brought to the floor by pc
tition. Mr.. Roosevelt supported this
plan. Before the vote the members
of the rules committee were warned
by both the American Federation OF
Labor and the c. I. o. that if they
refused to report the bill they would
face retaliation at the polls.

7Tonight! A reporter has to
grab what time he can get for
| things like meals, and sleep, and
getting married. I have night
off and-go on, Marjorie, you're
getting married, too. You talk
awhile"
So the car started up to Con-
necticut and Judy tried to slip into
the gay mood of the boy and girl
who were so happy. Marjorie was
radiant. Her eyes and lips and skin
shone. The count was quite gone
now. That was splendid. She and
Bob would have a happy-go-lucky
life.
| AS though he knew what she
was thinking, Bob said: II can't
offer Marjorie a roof tree and a
garden and ancestral teacups. A
good, fat trunk so she can pack in
a hurry is my best bet. You see,
1 may be sent anywhere. I'm q
rover, a wanderer, a news mon
grel-"
"Silly mutt" Marjorie's voice
made the words divine. ''Its going
to be heaven!"
It would be heaven, Judy knew.
Heaven was anywhere that you
and the one you loved and who
loved you lived together. Only
two could sight Paradise, though.
1t was never a lonely land. It was
there, waiting. She knew. For q
brief moment she had thought she
held key-then the tide swept it
down stream.

ment in a day or two" Bob said
more seriously after little while.
That's why the sudden haste.
You'll find few of the gang from
the Press falling in line as we pass
the Office. 1t may be morning be-
fore the wedding celebration ends.
Mind, Judy?"
Judy had thought that she would
ask Bob's advice about the situa-
ton that involved Ronald. She
didn't, though. He was so filled
with his own plans that she knew
it would be dismissed lightly. He
would intend to give it serious at
tention-and never again think
about it.
Greenwich. Marriage. Simple,
dignified words that bound Mar
jorie and Bob together. For how
long? Judy wondered why she let
that doubt arise. Couldn't she ever
Danish it? Would she always be
distrustful of marriage? And if
she was, why did she believe with
such certainty that there was no
happiness for her-if Ronald's

CHApTER as

"STERLING, the guy who made
Abbey's heart jump rope for while,
didn't forget her, even if he didn't
take her up on that idea that he
should divorce his wife % marry
her." Ronald went on speaking as
he faced Judy at the small table
in a corner of the coffee shop.
1.-THE trouble was that Abbey
forgot him. She went to Europe
and decided she preferred a count,
one with a castle and crest and
minus a wife. He liked the idea,
too. You know all about the en-
gagement to Count Philippe. You
were in on the wedding plans and
the final explosion.
what you don't know is that
this bozo, Sterling, had saved Alb
bey's letters. Smart guy. Figured
he might have use for them. He
wanted to make Abbey buJ them.
She came to me about it and al
most got down on my knees to beg
her to do nothing. She convinced
me the letters weren't dangerous.
But she was frantic.
"Well, so far as knew Abbey
had obeyed my instructions. Say,
what are you looking so all wise

Nothing" Judy said, picking up
her coffee cup and burning her
tongue on the hot liquid. But she
had a reason. Now she understood
why Ronald and Abbey had consult
ed together so secretively that
morning at breakfast at the Boland
estate. She knew why there were
other conferences. Maybe the man
who slipped into the shadows on
Christmas eve, the man whose
identity Abbey was protecting, had
been this Gregg Sterling.
Ronald wasn't convinced. "You
look as though you were putting
pieces of a puzzle together. Where
did you scent the Mystery"
"Ill tell you some other time. Go
on now"
'Well, Sterling was disgurted be-
cause he couldn't cash in. He
thought the game was up when the
Count walked out. Who was that

to fix a time and place from me

Sterling, getting cold feet, didn't

the blackmailer, who happened
around next night. He had met

She thought he was someone whom
Sterling dragged along. Now ne
