 Her mother said, Tt may not be the Enterprise" But she didn't sound very convincing. Judy cried, "You, you knowl He told youl"
 Judy, you mustn't carry on like this" Her face was tired, too and her mouth dropped. He didn't tell me anything. I-I couldn't ask"
 There was no sleep for Judy that night. She tried to control herself, she tried to remember that if anything had happened at sea, Naval Communications would not call her father.

 She racked her brains, to re- member the name of the officer on the station who worked with the airplane carriers. What officer ashore would be called if 1t was actually trouble on the Enter prise?

BRAzEN' TACTICS
/. OF CONGRESS HIT
Smell Scores Shameless
Playing of Politics by
New Dealers.
BY the Associated Press.

0y the ASSoCldteQ fTeSS.
The closing days of this Congress
have been marked by the most
"brazen. shameless playing of politics
have witnessed in "a years in the
House." Minority Leader Smell de-
clared yesterday
The tactics of Tammany Hall and
Boss Tweed have now been brought
inside the doors of the United States
Capitol" Mr.. Smell declared in a state
nnent. Not even the spoilsmen of
Andrew Jackson's day were bolder
than have been the New Dealers"
Mr.. Smell said he had in mind the
repeated refusals of the Democratic
leaders in recent days to provide pun
tshment for those who use Federal
relief funds to play politics with hu-
man misery-the meanest thing one
man can do to another"
Fish Also Issues Statement.
In another statement. Represent
ative Fish, fellow New York Repub-
Ican, expressed similar criticism.
Both branches of the Congress re-
fuse even to place any check on the
use of relief funds for political pur-
poses," he said. This shocking and
disgraceful partisan action practically
encourages the use of relief money to
prime primary and election pumps to
help elect 100 per cent supporters of
the New Deal"
Mr.. Smell also assailed what he
called the shocking and ruthless ac-
ton" of the House last week in un-
seating Representative jerks, New
Hampshire Republican. Mr.. jerks
seat was given to Alphonse Roy, his
Democratic opponent, following an
election contest dating back to the
1886 elections.
Charges Campaign Fund.
"The only possible reason at this
late date for voting Mr.. jerks out of
the House." Mr. Smell added, was to
place in Mr.. Roy's hands "a campaign
fund of approximately $4,000 taken
out of the Treasury.
Mr. Roy has done nothing to earn
two years salary. 1t has been we'll
known that Mr. Roy would oppose Mr..
jerks this fall So the Democratic
leaders have graciously supplied, with
taxpayers money, a huge campaign
fund for his benefit and that of the
Democratic Senator seeking re-elec-
toln this year in New Hampshire"
