best of you. Romany Halle is a
lady. She's far from a cheap little
nobody who can be picked up at a
station"
well, vino is she?" Mvra
stamped her foot again. I've never
heard of her"
why should you have heard of
herr" Brent said coldly. she
doesn't live in the headlines. Miss
Halle, it so happens, is heiress to
the Harlowe Farm Implements mil
lions"
Miss Noyes was somewhat taken
aback. But she recovered her bear
ings quickly to say with a sniff:
Then what's she doing up here
having an addition? Trying to
take somebody's job away from
them"
oh. you'll manage to earn three
squares q day" Nelson crushed out
his cigaret. - wouldn't lose any
sleep over Romany Haile's radio
career if l were YOU"
Brent was so furious with Myra,
so disguised with the scene she
had staged. that he pushed the door
of the control room open and
walked IN ahe2I of her.
Sam Carr. the engineer, who
had heard large part Of the quar-
rel, smiled TO himself. Nyra Noyes
was far from popular with the In
terstate staff. He was glad Brent
Nelson had told her off.
A look at Romany Halle through
the glass windows of the control
room and it was easy to under
stand the jealous rage that had
seized the blond star. Romany was
every inch an heiress-and one of
the most beautiful girls ever to be
auditioned at Interstate, Sam de-
cided. With television, if she had
talent, nothing could stop her.
Romany was the last to be audi
toned Nelson had arranged the list
so that she would have plenty of
time to get her bearings. She was
unaware of the smouldering-eyed
Myra sitting beside Brent beyond
the glass partition.
Completely enwrapped in her job,
Romany rose without showing the
slightest sign Of fright, and began
to read the bits Baxter had labored
over with her. Brent smiled to him
self.
Her voice, warm and vibrant, set
his pulses racing. She had it! And
he'd been so sure she couldn't miss
from the evening he'd interviewed
her at the station. For five minutes
Romany stood at the microphone
reading. When she had finished, she
turned and looked at Brent, smiling
at her in the next room. Myra, Bit
ing her lip, turned and walked from
the control room without so much
as a word to Brent. Even she, in
spite of her jealousy and hatred.
knew a great radio voice when she
heard one.
That, added to the fact that she
photographed as colorlessly as a
mouse, added to Myra Noycs'
wretched state of mind.

Guilty, the sudden jealous rage that
possessed her.
Romany Halle was the girl shed
seen in the control room when

was the girl she'd listened to being
interviewed on the Hello Stran-
ger" program two evenings before
And she must have been the bru-
nette Brent had been seen with
the night before at Landau's. A
friend had told her on the phone
that afternoon. And Brent had
broken a date with her to go.
Settling, Myra remained out
wardly cool.
Are you going to sit in the con-
troll room and listen to Miss Haile's
addition. darling?" She took Nell
sons arm in the elevator.

mitted.
Then III come with YOU" Myra
smiled too brightly. Il haven't seen
you since yesterday afternoon"
In the addition room Brent held
out his hard.
Good luck. Miss Halle Take it
easy. The mike won't bite YOU"
I'm sure she'll be perfectly
marvellous" Myra forced smile.
There's nothing to it, really"
There were three other dramatic
additions ahead of Romany's. Only
an engineer sat in the control room.
The program board listened to the
additions from a beautifully ap-
pointed room on the next floor. In
the hall between the studio and the
control room Myra dropped all pre-
tense of GOODNESS and whirled on
Brent furiously.

{. |. 0. Auto Union AssaiIs
Ford Defense Contract

By the Associated Press.
The Army's award of a 1887. 500
defense contract to Ford Motor Co
was under c. I. o. fire today as an
action which 'undermines the faith
of defense labor in the even admin
iStration of justice"
r. j. Thomas, president of the
United Automobile Workers of
America, made the statement yester-
day in commenting on the depart
ment's decision that an order placed
with Ford for midget scout cars
would be allowed to stand" despite
a protest by Sidney Hillman. labor
representative on the Defense Pro-
duction Board.
Mr.. Hillman and some unionists
have contended that the company
should receive no defense contracts
because the Labor Board has held
1t to be guilty of unfair labor
practices.
The 100000 automobile workers
for whom speak" said Mr.. Thomas
cannot understand why Ford
should have been granted its most
recent defense contract"
The War Departments decision,
he asserted, "also penalties the more
Than 500 automobile and parts COM
panies who are obeying the law"

In Non-Defense
Budget Urged
S400. .000, 900 Saving This
Year Possible, Economy
League Believes

A saving of s2043 900 900 in nom
defense items is possible in the Fed
eral Governments budget for the
next fiscal year, the National
Economy League said today in a
statement which added that ap-
proximatelv s400,0 100000 could be
saved in the remaining months Of
the fiscal year ending June 80.
Absorption of workers by de-
fense industries will allow Con-
gress to apply a scaling down proc
ess to w. P. A. expenditures, the
league contended, although 1t
urged Continued assistance at a
moderate level to prevent hardship. -
ut is apparent that heavy slashes
in farm benefits are not only pos
sible but imperative if the defense
burden is to be distributed equi-
tably," the league insisted.
However, hints of vigorous opposi-
ton to drastic cuts in farm benefits
and relief expenditures have come
from influential lawmakers, and
