low as the tears came to her eyes
She needed him to reassure her
She would leave tomorrow.
It came as a surprise to the
girls at lunch the next day. I'm
going to take a plane" she told
them. Don't know when I'll be
back. Maybe Thursday :. may
be Friday maybe - Oh, I don't
know when. :"
And then she was rushing out
the door to her waiting cab.
She felt better once the huge
transport plane was up in the air.
She relaxed in her seat and stared
out inc the slate blue sky. Tiny
doll towns, and streams and roads
which looked like silver ribbons
slipped by beneath them.
The stewardess brought her q
magazine and for the first time
that week she felt able to con-
centrate. Not once did Keith's
smiling face rise up before her.
Nor, for that matter, did the men,
ory of Dan Webber, bitter and
reproachful, the night she viz
tually accused him of spying.
It was 4 In the afternoon when
they settled down at Newark air
port. Thousands of people were
streaming from their offices when
she arrived at a huge building In
midtown New York. She took the
elevator up to the 22nd floor and
two minutes later abe was flying in
to her fathers arms.
j. G. johnson was tall, pow
erfully built man with iron-gray
hair. His face was that of a
fighter - of man who always got
what he wanted.
But his face grew soft when he
held her close.
Gee, but it's swell to see you
again." she whispered.
"Okay okay," he replied
soothingly. Lets have 1t. You
wouldn't be popping in here on
me for nothing"
He held her off at arms length
for a moment. Wait - better
yet > he continued. Lets have
dinner first and then go back to
the house and talk there. Well
take off our shoes and have a
real, old-fashioned lazy night at
home. How about it?"
1t sounded perfect to her. Three
hours later she was stretched
lazily in his luxuriant apartment.
She leaned back in soft chair
and kicked off her shoes.
How longs it been since you
were up at the place in Con-
necticut?" she asked.
Couple of months at least.
Haven't had time to get away.
Much too busy. But never mind
me - let's talk about you. How's
school what're you doing
what's been preying on your
mind okay, let's have it."
He spoke in quick, terse phrases,
direct and to the point. Joan
smiled at him.
Same old Pops" She got up
and curled up on the sofa beside
him. She told him about Keith.
She admitted her interest In him,
confessed further that it might be
love.
Tt Just don't know. It's
funny, Pops. I always thought I'd
know it when the real thing came
along. Do you think this could be
it without it smacking me square
between the eyes?"
He patted her hand "Your
mother would have been able to
give you much better advice than
I can. So I'm just going to stick
to the rules we've been using for
the last couple of years = you
know what you want and what's
best for you. But always remem-
Der - I'm in your corner. All the
way"
Thanks, Pops. That really helps"
Then she frowned. Keith seems so
swell until I start thinking about
his responsibility. Just as I told
you, Pops, he's going to have an
awful time getting down to earth
once his football days are over" She

clasped her knees in her hands.
"Fie's nothing at all like Dam"
"Eh? DAMP Who's he? What's
he got to do with all this?"

CHAPTER XVI

It was q couple Of minutes before
Dan came to the phone. During that
time she wondered what she was
going to say to him. Then his voice
at the other end Of the wire.
"Hello?"
"Hello, Dan. this is Joan john
She paused to try to figure his
reaction. She was positive he was
surprised almost to the point OF
being shocked because he didn't
answer Immediately.
"Well, have you lost your
tongue or aren't the Webbers and
the Johnsons speaking these daysP'
she inquired somewhat impatiently.
ooh hello" his voice came
back. 81 Just wasn't prepared to
hear your voice" And then in a
more brusque tone: Anything ]
can do for your"
truth of the matter Is" she
confessed, IT was calling Keith.
But he wasn't in, so thought I'd
ask how your hand was. We heard
about it over the radio"
"Oh nice Of you. Guess
it'll heal up in good shape. Ought
to be okay for the Pitt game"
Silence for a moment. ANY
thing else?" he concluded, solic-
itously.
mo nothing. Just tell Keith
I called, will you. It won't be neces-
sary for him to call back, though"
And then she hung up.
Late that night she decided she
was going home for a couple of days.
It was a long time since she had
seen her father. And she felt she
needed him just then. She was get
ting that mixed-up feeling again.
Maybe he could straighten her out.

Of amity with Russia.
Saracoglu was left cooling his
heels while the Russian German ne
gotiations were conducted.
To Make Declaration
(Berlin reported that Russia and
Turkey would make common dec
laration today at Moscow and that
it would be "a demonstration OF
solidarity" It was added that, In
the Nazi belief, the declaration
probably would not refer to any but
Russo Turkish matters.)
Saracoglu was scheduled to leave
Moscow today. But the United
Press Moscow correspondent report
ed this morning that he would prob
ably remain for several days, pre-
sumably awaiting fresh instructions
from his government.
The correspondent added that
there was no confirmation Of Ber-
lin reports that Russia intended to
put pressure ON Turkey and Ru-
mania.
Further, the correspondent said
that well informed Moscow quarters
thought It might be advantageous
to Russia and Germany to retain a
neutral bloc In the Balkans, and
to ensure the naturalization Of the
Dardanelles.

WATERBURY VOTES
ON CITY MANAGER
CONTINUED from Page u

The opposition to the plan only
began to show itself to any degree
during the past week or two. During
this period several organizations
have been formed to fight the plan,
and several established organiza-
lions have gone on record against 1t.
Culhane Most Outspoken
Senator George T. Culhane has
been the most outspoken opponent CT
the charter. Others fighting the
plan have been Nicholas zappone,
president Of the Young Democratic
club; Charles J. DeBisschop, Re-
publican; Edward Udelowitz, Ar
mand Errichetti, Nicola Beccia, UNI
berto Santopietro.
The fight for the plan is led by
Harold r. White. president Of the
Good Government association. Other
leading figures in the campaign
for adoption have been William F.
Burke, Edward H. Davis, Horace D.
Taft of WATERFOWL, Paul G. Egan
and Attorney Frederic @. Smedley.
Backed Socialists
Opponents have been making
much Of the fact that Mr.. White
and other prominent city manager
advocates were this week disclosed
as signers Of nominating petitions
for the Socialist party. This has
led to q belief that the Good Gov
eminent association will stay in
politics and back the Socialist ticket
In the city election If the city man
ager charter Is beaten at the refer
endum.
Approval Of the charter Tuesday
would mean q complete change of
Waterbury's system Of government.
The seven councilmen would elect
city manager, who would have
even broader powers than those now
held by the mayor under the strong
mayor" charter. adopted in 1881.
Has Good Machine
. The well-oiled election day ma
chinery arranged by the Good Gov
eminent association will prove Of
great value in getting out the voters
favorable to the charter. On the
other hand, the opposition has no
such organisation, though city man
ager opponents in some districts are
making last-minute efforts ct vol
unteer organizations.

medium through which the German
government might address either
Great Britain or France because the
United States has taken over French

capital.
To utilize the American embassy
for q peace appeal would be a ges-
ture Of sorts Of friendship toward
the United States even though our
embassy merely were requested to
act as messenger agency In deliver
ing q German proposal to Paris and
London. Diplomatic usage scarcely
would permit the embassy to refuse
such q task.
But If the involvement went fur
ther, grave questions of policy would
be raised here. There has been no
ntimation that Mr.. Roosevelt is
ready to accept responsibilities OF
that kind under existing conditions
IN which both the British and
French governments unof1icially in
dictate their rejection Of peace which
would validate all that has taken
