The first meal Gayle Dixon had

on the sun porch with Bill.
But dinner, at which she was
quite unexpectedly coerced into the
role of hostess, was an occasion OF
an altogether different sort. The

sion appeared to shout their pleas
ure at seeing youthful good times
revived.
Gayle wisely decided that this
dinner should be as natural and
simple as her hurried supervision
could make it. She avoided any
formal note, partly because the
trend of events seemed to be that

grace was a beautiful touch. She
had simply not thought OF ito

was trying to figure a way to say
Just that, sir. I-well, l-say, why
are people embarrassed about ask

Mr.. Mortified turned to him in
surprise. II am not embarrassed,
young sir"
But Bill was, anew. Tempe Hyde
all but giggled at him, and Gayle's
eyes twinkled. Bill devoted himself
earnestly to a fruit cocktail.
A moment later MIR. Mortified
spoke again.
II feel that this is an suspicious
evening. Isn't it pleasant, Mr..
Weems? Isn't it, sir?"
rOh, of course, sir. Yes, indeed.
1 was just thinking, how thought
full of you to arrange a little party
this way for Mr.. Jeremy"
Nov that's something's" Bill
spoke up.
A party! Why, sure, a little din

would account for the presence Of
all the girls, for Bill himself. Jer'

Gayle now, and she nodded.

been in town very long, and sc
your grandfather wanted you to
meet some uh, nice people your
age, and all. We were lucky to be
the ones, eh girls?"
The six picked up the nicely.
In truth, they had felt a certain
jittery restraint of their own
wonderment at their astonishing
employ. Now they could see {
urs and play it.
The talk mounted. Small, spon

She could not ignore the chorus
now. whatever will I talk about?

Something deep" Bill prompt

Everybody laughed at that pros
pect. Tempe, pretty and dainty as
a po--,-pom, just didn't look pro-

stood up-a good sport what ever
the pain!

but here I go: l
There was a young man who

He put in his money bags all
he could spare.
But alas for the poor economi-

The future arrived and the
man wasn't there!"
There was an instant of silence.
Tempe sat down, blushing at her
temerity. Then the storm broke.
Mr.. Merrifeld
led it with an outburst surprisingly
basso for his age. He banged the
table so that dishes jumped. Ora
ham, the butler, fastened back to
the room in some alarm.
During the laughter the two old
men arose, and when the spon-
taneous talk had subsidized again
everybody was back at the piano.
If Bill Bailey had guided them
there without their realizing it, no
matter. He saw thai Jeremy Tuck

nance with an actual smile; draw
ing Jeremy out of his shell vas a
part of Bills duty.
Gayle began playing again, soft

Martin Declares
Presidents Tours Of
Defenses a Fraud
Says Roosevelt Sets Up
Corrupt and Arrogant
Political Bureaucracy
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
PITTSBURGH, Oct. 24.-Joseph
w. Martin, jr., national Republican
chairman, said last night that the
Presidents pretended defense in
spection tours are a travesty and a
fraud on the American Govern
ment."
Nowhere in the national budget
is there any provision for campaign
expenses for any oflcial seeking re-
election" he said at q rally in
DuqueSne Garden.
Mr.. Martin said that while the
Republican party paid the campaign
expenses Of Wendell Willkie, tie
third-term candidates expenses were
paid for by you, the people"
Sees Corrupt Bureaucracy"
He claimed the President has "set
up the greatest, the most corrupt,
most arrogant and most expensive
political bureaucracy ever fastened
on this Nation
That bureaucracy has but one
purpose" he continued. at is to so
manipulate and control the pubic
funds and the lives and the activ-
tiles of the voters of this country as
to perpetuate itself in power IN
definitely"
Calling the President "the indie
feasible Man." Mr.. Martin said
every argument for a third and
fourth term becomes a more insist
ent argument for a life term in the
presidency"
Fear of Founding Fathers.
THAT is exactly the kind of po-
litical dictatorship the Founding
Fathers feared" he said. They en-
deavored, in the Constitution, to
establish effective checks and bal
ances between the three separate
and independent departments of the
Government to prevent any one de-
partment getting such control over
affairs as to make life tenure of
office possible.
ITO elect q President for more
than eight years is to accept the
philosophy, or rather the theory, of
the indispensable man"
Wants Efficient Defense.
Declaring Wendell Willkie stood
for the Bill of Rights and "consti-
tutional republican form of gov
ernment," Mr.. Martin went on:
1T is not at the hands OF arro-
CANT bureaucrats we will get genuine
relief or return to prosperity. It
is in the establishment of free
enterprise 1t is in lowering
the national debt, not increasing it.
1t is in cutting down the deficits,
not enlarging them. 1t is in lower
ing taxes, not increasing them. We
will find relief from this depression. =
Mr.. Martin said Mr.. Willkie ia
vored adequate defense but I'VE
want defense built and operated in
the most efficient, economical and
practical manner. We want that
defense on hand, not on order

Railroads Can Meet
Needs for Defense,

Many Cooperative

The Nations railroads are ready
to meet all transportation demands

cause Of the many cooperative ar
rangements made to assure use Of

Robert S. Henry, assistant to the
president of the Association Of
American Railroads, told the OPEN
ing session of the American Rail-
way Development Associations 32d
annual meeting today in the Will

Delays in unloading cars, not OPP

lead of 10000 over Jones, his Demo-
cratic opponent. Jones, who hailed
from Allegheny County, had a lead
of only 81 900 in that county.
Democrats Look to Labor.
Labor is the great reliance of the
Roosevelt supporters in this State,
including the coal miners Pennsyl-
vania is great industrial State.
Labor leaders have declared in large
numbers for the reelection OF the
President and there is every reason
to believe that huge numbers of
their followers will go along with
them. Here and there, however,
labor leaders have come forward in
support of Willkie.
The report that John L. Lewis,
head of the G. l. o. and of the
United Mine Workers of America is
tomorrow night to make a speech
attacking Mr. Roosevelt and third
term is troubling some of the Demo-
cratic leaders Every possible effort
is being made to win Mr.. Lewis
over to delivering a similar attack
on the Republican presidential
nominee. if he is unwilling to sup
port the President, as it now appears
he will not do. These efforts will
continue right up to the time of the
delivery of Mr.. Lewis speech and
even the White House will be asked
to intervene-indeed, has already
been urged to do SO.
At the same time, the Democrats
attempt to discount the effect of
Mr.. Lewis attack on the President
if it comes. They point out that his
chief lieutenants in Pennsylvania,
including P. T. Pagan. president of
the United Mine Workers in this
State. and Phillip Murray. vice
president. and Thomas Kennedy,
secretary treasurer, of the national
organization. are committed to Mr..
Roosevelt and some of them have
been campaigning for him already.
The Democratic leaders predict that
Mr. Lewis will not, even If he comes
out for Mr.. Willkie, influence more
than 10000 votes in this State, and
they say that his support of the Re
publican may cause Mr.. Willkie
some. losses-because of the dislike
of the c. I. Q. among the farmers.
Nevertheless, these Democrats would
give a great cheer if Mr.. Lewis
should decide to go along with Mr..
Roosevelt.
Dutch" Against War.
The pennsylvania Dutch are OF
German descent. They date back to
the 170Os and 1905 although there
are many Americans in
this State of more recent vintage.
The great bulk of these people are
as american" as any other native.
Today, however, they do not look
with any great enthusiasm upon a
possible American enry into the war
in Europe. 1t is these people, OF
whom there are Areat numbers, that
the Democrats are most anxious to
assure the President will keep this
country at peace.
In South Philadelphia New
Deal stronghold in recent years
are found large number of voters
OF Italian blood. Many of them are
said to be "off the reservation" be-
cause of the Presidents stab in the
back speech at the time Italy en-
tered the war on Germany's side.
The Democrats are importing Mayor
La Guardia of New York in an
effort to check this disaffection, and
are calling upon Judge Musmanno
of Pittsburgh, a widely known
Italian American also.

most observers believed, the two
statesmen sealed in concrete FASH
ion a friendship which began when
Hitler came to the aid of Frances
cause during the Spanish civil war
Official Spanish quarters were 81
lent on the talks.
Emphasis Seen on Gibraltar.
1t generally was believed here
that Hitler's meeting with Gen.
Franco WAS closely related to his
talk Tuesday with Vice Premier
Pierre Laval of France-a view
that was strengthened by the prom
inence the Spanish press gave to
the latter conference.
Some neutral observers believed
the two meetings presaged pos
sible shift of the main theater of
war to the Mediterranean, with
emphasis upon Gibraltar, the Brit
ish stronghold over which Spain
long has desired to gain control.
Also involved, these observers
believed. were plans to combat ac-
tivities of the free French" forces
of Gen. Charles de Gaulle in AZ
rica-notably in French Morocco,
in which Spain also has a keen in
terest.
First editorial comments in Ma
drid newspapers on Hitler's con-
ferences with Laval and Gen.
Franco were mostly general in ma
ture, but repeated references to
the imminence of big political and
military developments seemed to in
dictate they were preparing the pub
lie for an important announcement.
Secrecy Shrouds Meeting.
The meeting between Hitler and
Gen. Franco, held in a railway
car at the French border between
Hendaye and Irun, was stepped in
secrecy.
Foreign correspondents were not
permitted to send any information
direct from Spain until the Ger
man radio announced in a broad
cast heard here that the conference
had taken place.
Hitler was accompanied by his
foreign minister, Joachim Won Rib
bentrop, who also sat in on the
talks with Laval. With Gen. Franco
was his brother-in-law and right
hand man, Foreign Minister Ramon

Serrano Suner, who only recently
returned from a series of talks with
axis chieftains in Berlin and Rome.
Also with Gen. Franco were two
representatives of Spanish press
services and regular diplomatic
attaches.
A British Embassy source said Sir
Samuel Hoare, the British Ambassa-
dor, had received assurances Satur-
day that the recent changes in the
Spanish government entailed no
variation in policy.
