Thanks" How could she say,
"And you're the SWEETEST man I

That had been the beginning, and
pretty soon Jack was saying, "How

In the back of my mind I've always
intended to marry her. I can't

eyes, she nodded softly. "Of course
YOU do. And so do I. Finish your
coffee and let's go buy her a pres

Judy put her hand on a package
on the seat beside her. 1t was the
choker and bracelet she had bought
for Sarah Anne. They were made
of a dozen strands Of crisp, hel
beads woven together and would
go with the silly, adorable liner

Miss Sarah and Miss Anne Mof-
fet came to town.
Miss Sarah was tall and angular
and her face was rugged.

deep tones Of Miss Sarah advised.
Anne for me-" her sister differed.
The child had been named Sarah
Anne. Mrs. Melton put her own
favorite names away in a mental
drawer and hoped she would have
another daughter so she could use
one of them.
The two sisters had been gen.
erous to a fault in sending gifts
for Christmas, birthdays and COM
mencements. Lovely fragile hose,
French perfume, gold lockets.
Things they loved and could never
wear. But the actual money for
college and camps, about which
Sarah Anne dared to dream during
her growing-up years, never came.
Just Miss Sarah and Miss Anne,

But now Sarah Anne did not

mind any tasks, for there was
Jack, always somewhere in the
outskirts Of her mind, waiting for
her. He was busy with the plans
for his installation at the airport
and the dinner which the Cham
Der of Commerce was rendering its
famous son. There were newspa-
per men and photographers coming
every day from everywhere. He
would wave at Sarah Anne IN
passing, run in to talk a minute
before he hurried away. Life was
as gay and bright as a merry-go-
round with new horses.
Sarah Anne had new dress for
the formal banquet lovely gold
en- color, in taffeta. She Weakened
the morning of the celebration and
hurried to the window. It was q
beautiful day. "A perfect day." she
murmured.
At five o'clock the telephone
rang. It rang with a dreary, apollo

NEW YORK, Nov. 22.-Fritz Kuhn,
fuehrer OF the an-American
Bund, blushed scarlet today when
the prosecution depicted him as a
shipboard Romeo and read a billet
doux he wrote to his sent"

Kuhn, who already has wife, had

Camp during an ocean cruise on

note, which brought a protest from
Kuhn that it was "all in fun"

The German communique gives
the names of the two Britishers-
Capt. Stevens, head of the British
Secret Service in Western Europe,
and Payne Best, allegedly working
for the British Secret Service in
Holland. The German communique

versations with German revolution
airy officers 1t speaks of wireless
conversations between the Secret
Service men and their German
friends.
Stevens Romantic Person.
Let us reconstruct what really
may have happened. Capt. Stevens,
head of the British secret service
in The Hague, was an extremely
able but somewhat romantic person.
He succeeded in establishing con-
tact with high Reichswehr officers
and other important personalities
in Germany, who were ready to
get rid of the Nazi regime and nego-
tiate peace with England. The too
romantic Stevens used secret
beam wireless outfit to maintain
communications with his officer
friends in Germany, and the Ges-
tapo succeeded in locating the
beam and listened in.
High German emissaries came
twice over to Holland to Arnheim
and negotiated with Stevens and
later they met once more in Venloo
For November 8, another meeting
was scheduled in Venloo and now
the Gestapo decided to act, not
caring about violation of Dutch ter
ritory. They shot a Dutch officer
and kidnapped Stevens and Best, per-
forming coup which beats fantasy
and the best detective story writer's.
The result was the arrest of a great
number of high German officers
and the flight of some industrialists
and other influential people from
Germany.
But the Gestapo were not satisfied
with the discovery of the plot which
they were already closely following
through their agents. They wanted
to convert the affair into second
Reichstag fire duplicating the
British secret service in the crime
against Der Fuehrer. 1t is quite
clear now why the bomb in the
Munich beer hall exploded 20
minutes late, because it was not
meant to kill Hitler or any of the
big bosses in Germany, but to make
big noise in which England could
be implicated.
Public Trial Doubted.
Probably without the arrest of the
two Englishmen, the bomb would
not have exploded. But having the
English "schemers" in hand they
could proceed to make the bomb
explode.
Elser seems to be the Van Der
Lubbe of this Reichstag fire. But
will Stevens by the Dimitrov?
Hardly, because in war time no
public trial will be given as they
can eliminate the two Englishmen
under martial law.
But a case has been created by
Himmler with which the Nazis will
be able to feed the hungry Germans
for some weeks: Attributing all the
unrest, revolt and trouble in Ger
many, not to popular dissatisfaction,

On Surplus Corn at
81 Cents a BusheI
Rate Applies to Formers
In Midwest Adherine
To AlIotments

By the Associated Press.
Secretary of Agriculture Wallace
announced today the Government
would make loans to farmers on
surplus 1939-grown corn at the base
rate Of 81 cents a bushel.
Eligible for loans at this rate will
be farmers In the Midwestern COM
mercial corn belt who did not plant
In excess Of this years Agricultural
Adjustment Administration corn
acreage allotments.
Farmers who planted In excess Of
such allotments will not be eligible.
The rate Is the same as that pro-
vided in a similar loan program last
year.
$50 Counties in Area.
The commercial area comprises
586 major corn-producing counties
in Iowa. Missouri, Illinois, Indiana,
Ohio, Kentucky, Kansas, Nebraska,
Michigan, Minnesota, Wisconsin
and South Dakota.
Elsewhere loans will be made at
rs per cent of the base rate, or 43
cents a bushel, to farmers who did
not plant in excess of their A. A. A..
soil-depleting acreage allotments.
The principal purpose of the loan
program, officials said, was to bolster
prices of the feed grain by helping
farmers keep unneeded portions Of
this years big crop of the market.
They estimated that between 200,-
100000 and 3O0,0O0,0O0 bushels of
the 1899 crop of 1881 ,000, 900 bushels
may be stored under loan.
About 253 900 900 bushels of 1887
and 1898 corn are now stored under
previous loan programs.
Loans Available December 1.
The base rate will apply on corn
with a moisture content of not more
than 201a per cent.
The loans will be available from
December / this year to March 81,
1910, and will be due August l, 1910.
The loans will bear 3 per cent
interest. Under previous programs
the rate was per cent. Farmers
may obtain loans through their local
banks. The latter institutions may
discount such loans with the Fed
eral Commodity Credit Corp.

Foremen Organized
ByC.I. O., ChrysIer
Head Complains
Keller Charges New
Effort to Control
Production
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
DETROIT, Nov. 22.-K. T. Keller,
president of Chrysler Corp, charged
today that the c. I. o. had organ
lied shop foremen and supervisors
in "a new effort to control produc-
ton in the plants of the corpora
ton"
The effect of the new organiza-
tion, Mr.. Keller said, would be to
place c. I. o. representatives in
command of both sides of collec-
tive bargaining procedure. "In prac-
tice, c. I. o. people purporting to
represent management would be
bargaining with c. I. o. representa-
tives Of the employees" he said in
a prepared statement.
Mr.. Keller's charge injected a
new note of discord into the seven
week-old controversy which has tied
up the corporations production of
new model cars. and made 100000
workers idle.
Negotiators for the company and
the c. I. o. United Automobile
Workers meanwhile sought without
success to reach a compromise on
wage schedules to be incorporated
in a new union contract. Richard
T. Frankensteen, U. A. VIC. I. o.
regional director, said:
Il want to say regretfully that
we are far apart. We had an op-
portunity to learn more definitely
what the company's position on
wages was and we were just miles
and miles apart"
Conferences were resumed today
and it was agreed to meet again
Thursday, Thanksgiving Day, if
necessary, in order to speed a set
tlement.
