THE FEMALE OF THE SPECIES

The best war story that has come out Of
England was that of the unfortunate Nazi air.

When other Nazi airmen attempt to para

Man bout

~ Georae Tucker

NEW YORK, July 17.-Last week
we told you something about a
black cat named Friday and a
white pup named Thursday OF
which we are very fond. But we
made no mention of Cynthia-Ann,
who is called Tin for short, be-
cause it really wasn't Tins story,
for one thing, and our space was
running short for another.
But Cynthia composes the trl-
umvirate at our house. She is IL
years old and a fine old battle-ax
she is. Cynthia is a tortershell
persian-angora that I have n a d
ever since she was five weeks old.
She t~olerates Thursday and Fri
day but does not accept them. She
is grumpy at times and not given
to nonsense, which is her right.
Because she has missed death by
dogs, lightning, and pneumonia

in hoodlums who would make her
life miserable if she didn't turn
on them now and then and ad-

The answer is, yes, Cynthia's

found embezzling small funds, hit
the national guard for using $500
600 to keep up roads and flower
beds at Camp Murray, criticized
alleged mismanagement in the la
Dor and industries department and
state patrol.
Some state officials have
been highly critical OF the
grand jury's probing into state
affairs. asserting IL was
.wsste Of money" TO spend
$4,000 for such reports. II Is
probable Thurston county will
ask the I94l legislature to re-
nav II the money 1t spent on
the jury's Investigations. ex-
cepting, Of course, the $4,000
the governor gave 1t last sum-
mer.
At that time the governor said
the Jury had asked for financial
aid because 1t was running out OF
money. The governors grant last
ed only q few weeks, and the jury
has gone on several months since,
apparently on county money.
At the time the governor made
his grant. Prosecuting Attorney
Smith Troy said the county no
longer could afford to finance the
jury's operations. Its failure to
stop when the governors money
ran out indicated it had found a
new source OF funds, possibly some
it hoped the next session of the
legislature would repay, since it
was spent investigating state de-
partments.
Most Of the cost of running
the jury Is the $500 a week it
has 10 pay Private Detective
C. C. Spears, of Portland, and
Ms assistant or assistants for
ferreting cut material to put
h III reports on various de-
Partmeats.
AZ far as charging the social
security departments over-spend-
ing its relief budget 100000,
officials here pointed out that was
not news, since the 1889 legislature
heard Gov. Martin explain that it
had been forced by unemployment
ona dire r,aaI IF ifo rnor r,opttla-
ton to spend the money. Thus far,
no pension organization or relief
groups have come forward to de-
fend Director Charles F. Ernst for
spending the money on them.
In the heat Of a political
campaign the jury's findings
on this and other departments
will make good ammunition to
sse against the governor.
Some predict the jury had
cooked the governors goose"
when II comes to reelection:
others hold the reports should
have been addressed to the
legislature, since they quar-
relied mainly with policies set
down by previous sessions.
The jury admitted in its re-
ports that Ernst and the land
commissioner had violated no
laws.
1t was noted the jury has con-
centrated its work mostly on de-
partments under the governor, and
had not dealt with any other cleo
tive official outside the land COM
missioner. Other state officials ap-
parently not investigated included
the school superintendent, insur-
ance commissioner, auditor, treas
urer, secretary of state and attor-
ney general.
The jury had Lieut.. Gov. Victor
A. Meyers up before it asking him
about who paid the expenses of his
trip to California a year ago, but
did not say anything about it after
ward, indicating he had convinced
them he was in the south on state
business.
