Charlie took deep breath. Listen. Put on
a pot of coffee. Then send Lily out for some
animal crackers and orange pop. Then you go
back and sit down with them and talk till
get there
But they can't talk
Put on some records. DO anything! Listen.
Ill come in the back way. I'll hurry like hell.
Will you do that, darling?"
"All right, only hurry. Charlie
Charlie got his car and headed for West
chester. He could be put down. but not for long.
He had what a psychologist would call 'resil-
ience" and what his competitors called by less
pleasant names, such as gall" BY the time he
had reached 10th Street. he was beginning to
see no cause for Louise panic. He saw himself
at his club, drink in his hand. standing before
the fireplace while all the old turkey gobblers
in the best chairs folded their papers and glared
at him, though secretly fascinated by his story:
Blood brothers. y'know. Pledged to die for
me, if necessary. Imagine - came three thou
sand miles on horseback to look me up.
He made home in good time. He left his car
down the street, circled through wooded ra
vine, and entered the house through the kitchen
When he opened the door. Lily. the Negro
maid, was sitting ~ chair by the door into
the dining room, the cleaver still in her hand
Louise was sitting on stool right behind her.
and they both looked to Charlie as if they had
been holding their breaths all afternoon.
Charles conviction that everything would be
strictly hunky-dory was somewhat shaken at
the sight
When Louise saw him she shut her eyes
momentarily and leaned back against the wall.
Charlie thought she was going to faint, and
he tiptoed across the kitchen. Louise raised
finger to her lips, and looked at him with dark
eyes full of pure hate. She came off the stool,
dragged him into the pantry and closed the
door.
Kiss for papa?" Charlie asked
BLOOD brother!" Louise said scornfully. She
folded her arms 1T had better be good
''Hows it going?"
''They're sitting on the floor now in front of
the phonograph. That's the way l left them
twenty minutes ago."
Charlie peeled off his coat, rubbed his hands
together and laughed. Good old brothers. Nice
of them to CALL
Terribly NICE" Louise said ooldly. First,
though, why are they here?"
Were blood brothers. That fall when was
out in New Mexico with Chuck Shraeder,
there was an early snow The little brown BROTH
ers had been gathering pinon nuts in the hills.
and the snow trapped them, so Chuck and
took his plane and dropped food to them
Why"
well, it seemed the thing to do at the time.
Anyway, they took us into the tribe. He took
Louise's elbows and kissed her. But there was
no response.
What are their names?'
They don't know"
did you get the animal crackers and soda
pop?"
Lilly did,"
Where are they"
Gone So is the coffee. So are the sand

Charlie whistled. We'll, that ought to wind
up the ceremony. AS soon as they meet the

for 194O, including Guffeys sena- torship, there was solid move to deal out Guffey and put in Kelly of Philadelphia. Guffey threatened to run independently in the primary, thus threatening new party split. So the commit tee, for the first time in years, backed away without indorsing anybody for the Senate.
 But even now it is by no means sure Guffey will have the field to himself. On the eve of the State Committee meeting, it was an- nounced Bullitt was coming home from Paris for a brief consulta- tion. Runners brewed that he would enter the race against Cuff fey. Offhand, the rumors sound groundless. It would amount to repudiation by President Roose- welt of Guffey, in the facs of his faithful support of the New Deal. Besides, while Guffey may lose the election, he would be no easy candidate in the primary. He has packed Pennsylvania full of patron- aoa

Just before the 1888 meeting of the Pennsylvania Democratic Cen tral Committee, Guffey and a group of party officials had a con- ference With President Roosevelt Guffey had let it out that he wanted to be the candidate for Governor or at least to name his man. At the White House he was talked out of that. Leaving the White House the conferees an- nounced that the President wanted Guffey to stay in the Senate. What vas not announced seems to have been an agreement to have Am bassador William Bullitt return from Paris and run for Governor
 The plan fell through. John B. Kelly, Philadelphia city Demo- cratic chairman, and Matthew Mo Closky, contractor and heavy voice in the party, had not been consulted Information coming to us now is that they baked at Bull lit. Moreover, it seems Bullitt had not been taken into the pie ture. He, too, baked.
 Guffey felt he had been slicked

Cuff fey's Democratic friends, who had counted him as regular for years, became furiously bitter. Their own candidate, Charles AL win Jones, won the nomination in the primary against Guffey's choice, but the party split was so damag- ing that the Republican candidates, sarlier considered almost pushovers, won both in the Senate and for Governor.

Utility Trusteeship
Offer Puts DriscoI|
On Horns Of Dilemma
Control Of Pennsylvania
Stute Bureau Would Go te
6. O. P. If He Accepted
By the Associated Press.


HARRISBURG, Pa, March q
The chairman of Pennsylvania s
ic-dominated Public Utii-
ity Commission today tried to choose
between helping direct reorganiza-
ton of q complex utility setup he
has battled, or keep his job and
thereby prevent Republicans from
gaining control of the commission.
Appointed one of three trustees
whose job would be to whittle down
the Associated Gas & Electric sys-
TENS many holding companies and
subsidiary operating companies to
a simpler structure, Denis j. Dris-
coll indicated he might accept, but
held of his decision until next
week.
With willard L. Thorp, New York
economist, Mr.. Driscoll would ham
die affairs of the Associated Gas g.
Electric Corp, while a third trus-
tee, Walter H. Pollak, New York
attorney, would look after the As
sociated Gas g. Electric Co. pro-
ceedings.
Those are the two top units in a
corporate chain of electric, gas,
ferry, toll bridge and other utilities
serving $500 communities between
the Canadian border and Florida.
AS a member of Congress, Mr.
Driscoll exposed falsely-signed tele-
grams intended to influence the
House vote when Howard c. Hop
son, A. G. & Els creator, was bat
Ting the so-called death sentence
Holding Company Act.
Defeated for reelection, Mr.. Dris-
coll was appointed by former Gov.
Earle to the Public Utility Commis-
sion, which the little New Deal
created in place of the Republican,
dominated Public Service Commis-
sion.
Through the commission. Mr..
Driscoll had a part In an extensive
inquiry into the A. G. & E.s oper-
ations in Pennsylvania.
With the advent of the Republi-
can administration of Gov. James,
the commission has remained one of
the few major State agencies still in
Democratic control-a situation that
speedily could be changed should
Mr.. Driscoll quit to accept the prof.
ferred trusteeship.
