father had been like a man whose
heart has died inside him. "Noth-

of the men who had died, trapped
under the sea. But she knew he

Through hei open window she
heard the big gar stop with Il
suucai of brakes. The enlisted
man who, chauffeured it had lost
mo tine in getting here. T.
:. Then the front door slammed.
Her father was gone. He would be
driven swiftlr>to the Communica-
tions building at the foot of

lmorning, she'd know al labout it.
But. she couldn't bear the wait

Her mother said, at may not be
the Enterprise" But she didn't
sound very convincing. Judy
cried, "You, you know! He told
your ,..
Judy, you mustn't carr yon like
this" Her face was tired, too, and
her mouth dropped. "He didn't
tell me anything. II 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. The COM
n.ander of the battle force would
be in charge. But wasn't he on
the Pennsylvania? And on the
Saratoga WAS the office of the
man directly in charge of plane
carriers.
She racked her brains, to re-
member the name of the officer
on the station who worked with
the airplane carriers. What Off
Ger ashore would be called if it
was actually trouble on the En-
terprise? g. " q. -
She was too keyed up, too
shaken, to think coherently. Her
mother said sharply, "This is silly,
Judy! 1t might be any one of a
half dozen more OF less routine
emergencies and you know it as

But Judy cried, 81 tel | you, |

Her mother said, Nonsense"
She added, more kindly, Every
flyers wife in the Navy has pre-
monitions every time her husband
takes off. And what do they
amount to?'S''
Every flyers wife. The words
repeated themselves over and oyer
in Judy's mind. She wasn't Jacks
wife. Why was she carrying on
The times-news., 1938-11-28

Judy put her stockings on in a
daze. She took out the first dress
her fingers touched as they CROP
ed in the closet, and slipped into
it, tipping it up while her heart
pounded.
Jack was safe. Jack. And in
that moment, realization like a
high green wave washed over her.
All her dread had been for Jack.
Never, never had she worried this
way for Dwight. Why why -
could that mean-did it possibly
mean-that she loved him? She
sat down on the bed. This agony
that had racked her because She
thought he was in danger, was it
because he was dearer to her than
she had guessed? ~ s.
"Ready, Judy"
There. was no time to think.
She must go to Diane. But the
first thing Diane said when she
opened the door was, Judy! They
said-they said two planes were
down. Bill's-and Jack Hanley's."

the telephone rings with an ur-

"What is it?" she cries out.
CHAPTER XIX
Judy knew that she mustn't let
go like this. 1t was probably moth
important. She was imagining
things. But into her. mind had
come the picture of planes flying
over 4 dark sea, and she could
hear again Jack Hanley's voice
saying, eve had casualty"
Nothing had happened to him..
No. No! Nothing could happen.
He was the best flyer in the
squadron.
Her mother opened the door, a
negligee thrown hastily about her
shoulders. Judy" she said, draw
ing the girl inside.
Father, what is it," Judy
gasped, as he put down the tele-
phone, His face was suddenly
flint hard, with narrowed, tired
eyes. The lines around his mouth
had sprung into prominence. 1t
was as if the quiet man she knew
had suddenly slumped under the
weight of al 1.-The responsibility of

What message?" Judy asked.

He said slowly, 1--WE have no
information-no complete infor-

"Was it the Enterprise" she
begged. please tell me! Was it
an notwithstanding about the
planes?"
Her mother tried to hush her.
Come, Judy" SheHled her from
the room, back into her own bed
room. She said, "Your father has
told you all he knows, can't you
see? Don't worry him. He has
so much to bear" In her eyes
was the memory of al 1.-The other
times Admiral Hlcott had been
walked in the night by a cry OF
distress. Judy herself remember
ed vividly the night merchant
man rammed a submarine, and
her father had worked days and
nights without sleep, getting every
vessel under his command to the
scene of the tragedy. The Falcon,
tugboats, submarines. Divers to- go
down. Emergency equipment from
New London. All of it had been
his responsibility. And when, IN

As if her mothers thoughts had

periously. Judy jumped.
"I'll take it," her mother said
quietly -. :,
"Hello? Yes, this is Mrs. Al
cott." There was silence. Then
her mothers face seemed to gray
as it listened, and she said at last,
'"My dear, I'm so sorry. So sorry b.!
But they can't be sure yet. 1t may
be a mistake. Oh, we'll come at

Mrs. Alcott turned to Judy.
"That was Diane Bell. She says

|, "Godw Judy's nails punched

But in the next moment, choking
relief flooded her. Little drops of
moisture stood on her upper lip.

over, as if even now she was
afraid. "Not Jack" ~" ....
Her mothers arm slid around

quiet down. He wouldn't want you
to act this way no matter what

The go Per Cent Industry

Leonard P. Ayres, one OF the ma.
tion's top-aight economists, recently
described the railroads as our "20
per cent industry"
That is, the lines represent about
20 per cent Of our Industrial assets,
Railroad securities constitute 20
per cent OF all listed stocks and
bonds. Railroads purchase 20 per
cent of output OF a number Of our
largest industries--steel, soft coal,
fuel oil. lumber.
Mr.. Ayres further pointed out
something that Is not generally
realized-that transportation con-
tributes more dollars to our nation
al income than does agriculture. For
each seven dollars that farming adds
TO the national income, transporta-
tion adds eight. And railroad trans
portation is by far the largest ele-
ment in the transportation industry
II was not an accident that during
the recent hearings held by the In
terstate Commerce Commission con-
cernlng the railroads application
for a is per cent rate increase. rep
resentatives OF other important in
dustrIes appeared and spoke on be-
half Of granting the request. We
have reached a dangerous crisis In
railroad finance, with almost all
lines earning next to nothing In net
profit, with further reductions in
buying forced on the roads, and with
a number Of lines coming perilous-
ly close to bankruptcy.
Railroad prosperity is essential to
national prosperity. The time when
action could be delayed has long
been passed. Unless the lines are
given the assurance Of materially
Increased income, they can go no
way but backward, and the nation
will go with them.
The Is per cent rate increase
would not entirely Offset the in
creases that have taken place in
railway operating costs in the past
five years. But It would put the
lines on a solvent basis. 1t would
give them a modest net profit. 1t
would dispel the spectre Of govern
ment ownership which would mean
a burden Of billions on the taxpay-
ers. And It would create orders and
Jobs and investments-the essential
Ingredients of recovery at this time.
Milford chronicle., 1938-01-28
PRECEDENT FOR RAILROAD
RATE INCREASES

/ The financial situation of the Am
erican railroads is as serious today
as it was at the end of the World
War, and perhaps more serious.
That was the opinion given by
Daniel Willard, President of the Bal
timore and Ohio, in testifying tefUre
the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion in support of the industry's re-
quest for a general Is per cent rate
increase.
At the end of the World War, the
railroads rolling stock was largely
out of date and in bad order. Their
cost of operation had been drasti-
cally increased by causes beyond
their control, as in the situation to-
day. Their financial condition was
precarious. AS a consequence, they
petitioned the ICC for freight rate
increases. After a relatively brief
hearing, these increases were grant
ed, and ranged as high as 40 per
cent. Opponents of the increases
said that the higher rates, even
though they might be needed to keep
the lines from bankruptcy, would be
a serious blow to other industries.
The fallacy of this was soon shown,
as the country entered upon a highly
prosperous period, and shippers en-
countered no trouble in paying the
higher freight costs.
Today the railroads as a whole
are far behind in their equipment
purchases. Almost none of them are
earning a reasonable profit-many
of them are unable even to pay fix
ed charges, and are virtually inscl-
vent. The Is per cent increase the
lines ask is extremely moderate, in
view of the general increases in all
costs that have taken place since
1882. And, as thousand unpreju-
diced witnesses have said, instead of
harming the country, the increases
would immensely benefit It, by re-
viving railway spending, develop
ment and employment, and putting
the industry on a sound basis Of op-
Grafton.
Some experts are of the opinion
that the granting of the increase
would do more than any other single
act to promote recovery and reduce
unemployment. which has increased
to the 100000 mark. Every eco
nomic factor supports the lines re-
auest. The decision Of the ICC in
this vital matter Will be anxiousiy
awaited by the country.
