the coffee-"where have you been ?
That's what I dropped up to FIND
out. You've been neglecting u.s."
ooh, I've been messing around
with some short stories and scripts
Keeping pretty busy. I knew you
were busy, too. Sorry if I've seemed
unsociable."
"You have" Romany smiled. She
was studying him, puzzled. What's
different about you?" she asked
then. you're changed in some
way"

said Bax.
That's it! I've never seen you
without them before"
Now that Romany knew what
made the change, she decided he
was much more handsome without
the horn rims. His lean face was
keenly intellectual, with the high
brow, even features and tWinkling
brown eyes.
IT went to a new specialist" Bax
explained. "He took the glasses off
and gave me an eye exercising
machine. Trouble was that my
eyes were out Of focus. The doctor
seems to be right. The machine
rests my eyes and I hardly miss
the specs"
II know you're glad" said Rom

exclaimed. "They gave me an in

him, leaning her chin on her hand

amazingly like him. Even the same

But of course" Romany as
sured him. Hes always been my
girlish dream"
A little later Bax sighed:

"I guess so. He's very kind"
"Well!" Bax got up for more cof-
fee. you'll certainly be in the
money when that happens. AL
though I wouldn't say you're doing
so badly now"
NO." Romany admitted. It
seems nice to be able to buy a few
clothes. Aunt Cissie won't find
quite all her things worn out when
she comes back"
She laughed, but sobered quick
ly when Bax sighed:
1T must be grand and glorious
feeling! I've just about made up
my mind to throw up the whole
thing. I mean give up the idea of
radio and &C and dig bitches or
something. It's such an uncertain
racket. I thought it was worth
while trying to hang on till I got
break. But I guess the gods just
don't intend to let that happen"
Romany said with quick SYM
pathy:
"Oh, you mustn't say that. Bax!
Some of these days Paradise. Is

YOUR head swim. That's the WH

Bax shook his head. His Jaw set.
"Ive given up hope. Anyway, Pm
not going to count on it. I'm think
ing of heading for New York. To
see if I can't get a newspaper or

"Ohm Romany said blankly.
"You're-going away. wish you
wouldn't"
Bax looked up quickly. When he
saw the look on her faeesA asked
quizzically:
"But why? What difference
would it make to you, Romany?"
why" she said uncertainty, I'D
I'D miss you. You've been so good
to me. If it hadn't been for you,
Bax, I never would have gotten
along so well in radio. Your coach

Bax got up for matches. When
he lit his pipe, his hand trembled.
IF I believed you"-he looked
away-"pd never go. But you're
Just trying to be kind" -
"Oh, I'm not" she protested,
feeling suddenly as though she
must escape from the little room.
It was depressing and she wanted
to cry.
She got up and Bax was puzzled
when she said hurriedly:
Lets go for walk, Bax. II
think you need some air. It's a gor-
geous evening""

10000 Planes in Year
Declared Allied Need
To Continue War
French and British Want
Public Declaration Of
Such Aid From Roosevelt
BY EDGAR ANsEL MOWRER,

by EDGAR ANSEL MOWRER,
Chicago Daily News Foreisn CORRESPONDENT.
PARIS, June 14.-At least 10000
warplanes and thousands Of tanks,
In the course of one year, is what
the French and British want to
! continue to fight their war with
/ Germany to the bitter end, 1t is
declared by proponents Of quick
and tremendous American aid to
the Allies.
II the Allies have a public prom
| lse, from President Roosevelt and
his Congress, OF such mechanical
assistance they will continue to
fight, 1t is contended. If they have
that certainty they will eventually
win the war.
This Is why Generalissimo Maxine
Weygand, 1t Is emphasized, swayed
Frances cabinet to the side of fur
ther resistance in Wednesday nights
fateful session.
Mere transfer OF old American
material or of few hundred air.
planes, it Is said, is no longer
enough, and the United States must
consciously and publicly do eyery-
thing to assist the Allies, regardless
OF the risk of being involved" in
war. 1t must do so, not only to
save the Allies, but to save itself
from similar assault in the future.
And it must do so now, Allied
spokesmen declare.
Germany. Italy and Spain count
on the Americans being too pacifistic
to save themselves by saving Euro
pean democracy, say pleaders for
American aid. These powers hope
that the Americans, like the Nor
wesians, Dutch and Belgians, will
only awaken to the danger when it
is too late.
1talys entrance into the war Is
deemed in itself sign of growing
Italian belief in German victory.
Generalissimo Francisco Franco
who gave his solemn word to Mar
shall Henry Petain of France, AM
bassador to Spain before he was
recalled to Paris for a military role
that his Spain would never, never
make war on France. has shifted
from neutrality" to mon -belliger-
ency," thus initiating the Italians,
while the governmental newspaper.
Arriba. announces that the Span
iards have always been brave and
that to remain nuetral in this war
would be cowardly. Rumania, cover
ing before German might, has
promised to yield anything to Ber-
lin-much to the disgust OF Soviet
Russia.
| France, on the continent today,
stands alone. with little help con-
ceivable save, perhaps. from the
heroic Swiss, the Greeks and the
Turks. Only the United States can
save this situation, and its best aid,
many believe, would be declara-
tion Of war on Germany. But short
of that, a public statement by Pres
ident and Congress that America in
tends to supply the Allies with all
they need, regardless of conse-
quences. should be enough to pre-
vent German victory. 1t is now or
never.

most of the Conference proposals,
the program as a whole represents
a remarkable area of Congression-
al agreement.
The Preamble of the Report and
Program reads: "The Conference
takes the position that unemploy-
ment is the central and typical
problem of thee twentieth cen
tury, that there is not an unlimited
time left in which to effect its
solution, that the future of indi-
vidual freedom and of constitu-
tiOnal government depend directly
on it's solution. and that we should
proceed at once to a consistent,
determined and coordinated at
tack upon unemployment" The Re-
port then lists some w e e
causes Of unemployment among
which are: failure of the Nation
to maintain a scientific balance
between the increase in produc-
ton of goods and services and the
expansion of the volume and
velocity of its medium of eX-

This Is Railroad
Cooperation

The first pledge of indUstry's
whole-hearted cooperation with
the new air expansion program
came from a railroad. William NJ.
LETTERS, President of the Union
Pacific, said in a full-page adver-
tisement:
There can be no doubt. in the
light of world events, that America
needs an air force second to none.
There can be no doubt that
supported by the cooperation of
American industry the genius OF
United States plane builders can
find ways to meet any demands
put upon them.
Attention centers today on the
building of military ships.
"As citizens of the United
States. we stand four square be-
hind such a project.
LAS transportation men, we see
another need-strengthen COM
mercial aviation too.
Anything which increases the
speed of communication and travel
knits the nation more closely to-
gether.
"That is what transportation
has been doing since the first
railroad was built what it must
continue to do il America is to
develop and be secure.
Some may see in this diver
sion of business from the rails TO
the air, which at first thought
would seem to work against our
self-interest.
THAT Is the narrow view.
"It ignores the fact that in times
like these cooperation counts for
more than competition, and that
intelligent self-interest starts with
having the nation strong.
What helps the country helps
all business, and what helps busi'
ness helps the railroads.
"On that basis, we welcome the
growth Of aviation, and to the
speeding Of it's expansion program
We pledge full cooperation.
