Kay sat up straight, her pulse
quickening. "Yes?"
"On D-day, which is either today
or tomorrow, every airplane factory
in the United States is to be de-
stroyed. Every large depot where
Army and Navy planes are kept is
to be destroyed. And all simultan-
eously."
You're sure?" Kay gasped.
The intercepted message told us
that" he said grimly. And that's
only part of the story. The moment
our plane factories and depots are
demolished, the group of foreign
powers behind the System. the
group seeking domination, will de-
liver an ultimatum to the United
States Government demanding i'm
mediate acceptance of peace terms
amounting to political and economic
submission Stanley paused. IF the
ultimatum is rejected by us, it will
mean instant overwhelming aerial
attack by long range bombers.
That's the story in nutshell, Miss
Dennis"
What makes them believe the
United States would give in to such
a braZen holdup?" Kay demanded
Stanley shrugged. They figure
the country will be so stunned by
the complete destruction of all our
plane factories, and many of our
fighting ships-so panicked by the
ruthleSsneSs and ease with which
the coup has been accomplished,
that we will have no alternative :"
Nothing Is Learned.
"Yes," Kay agreed thoughtfully,
II can see how that might happen
If the people were made to feel it
was useless to fight back, that this
group of powers was too strong,
too clever for us, we might be pan
licked into agreeing to anything-at
least for the moment"
Which is all they'd need" STAN
ley added bitterly.
How are the plants to be de-
stroyed?" Kay demanded. Now
that you know"
Stanley shook his head 1--WE don't
know" he admitted. But we're
straining every nerve to find out
how they mean to do it. We're

Every plane factory and airfield is

so far, we've learned absolutely

Kay'S request was a plea.
Exhaustion showed in every line of
Sankey's face. mo-" he said. you've
done all you could-and done it will.
All we can do now is pray for
break. We may have two days.
Perhaps in the next few minutes
every plane plant in the United
States will be wiped out of ex-
istence."
Kay stood silent. She felt weak,
helpless, futile. There seemed no
point in further bothering Stanley.
IF anything should turn up on
which I might help" she said
emptily, III be at my agency. Or,
later, at my apartment"
Two of Stanley's desk phones rang
simultaneously. He caught them
both up, said "Wait!" to one, listened
to the other. He jerked his head at
Kay in acknowledgment and thanks.
His jaw frightened at the news pour
ing in over the wires. Kay turned
and silently left his Office.
Kay Has No Appetite.
Returning to her agency, Kay went
through the motions of trying to
work out preliminary action on the
new case that had come in. Finally
she gave it up. Beck, and the i'm
pending disaster to the country,
washed everything else from her
mind. And, when she could stand

truth about Beck Creighton.

Kay, so tensed her shoulders

until nearly o'clock, to be handy
if Stanley should happen to need
her services. Vince remained with
her. Together, they finally left the

if I came to your Office now, Mr..
Stanley" Kay said. II guess the
| system knows I was helping you"
Stanley paved at his rumpled,
CRAVING hair
No" he said hoarsely. 1T doesn't
matter now.
One of several phones on his desk
rang. He grabbed it, listened, said.
Keep trying" hung up.
Kay braced herself Has Mr..
Creighton been arrested?" she asked.
Stanley's eyes dropped. NO" he
said gruff1y Not yet"
"Oh," Kay ran hand over her
face. What about Phillip Stover?'
Hasn't been seen since the syS-
tenn snatched him away from the
two Federal agents who arrested
him" Stanley snapped.
Have you any further informa-
ton about when the system will
make its move?" Kay questioned.

Kay hesitated. Tiff you can
get Beck, you may be able to get
the information you need" She
choked on the words. "As I told
you over the phone yesterday, it was
he who tipped off the System that
you we're about to raid the Old
World Restaurant. He must know
their plans"
Stanley regarded Kay enigmat-
ically. you've come here to ask
me to go easy on him." he said.
Kay nodded silently.
'I know what this is costing you,
Miss Dennis" Stanley said, and his
voice softened. I'll do what I can.
What you've done required sincere
patriotism, courage. No one could
do more"
A phone rang sharply. Stanley
snatched up the instrument,
listened, jotted a few hasty notes.
hung up.
That explains that" he explod-
ed. "Only it's too late! Now we
know where this fellow, Stover, fits
into the Systems scheme. He's been
an assistant plant supervisor in two
plane factories, making planes for
the Army"
Kay looked at him questioningly.
"Sover's young, but brilliant" the
FBI man went on tersely. But
he refused to take orders. In con-
sequence, he was fired from both
positions for infractions of certain
regulations laid down by the War
Department.
How does that fit him into the
Systems plan?"
Because of his knowledge of
American plane plants" StaAley
snapped. His face was blank. Last
night Naval Intelligence intercepted

consequence, we now know exactly

They swung northward, along

Vince's sleeve. In the park, so yards
ahead, where two walks intersected,
two men were moving quickly away
from each other.
The muscles of Vince's arm were
suddenly taut beneath Kay's hand.
One of the men was Philip Stover.
The other was Beck Creighton.

Cotton Export Subsidy
Extended to October 81

The Agriculture Department today
extended the time for exporting
cotton sold under its subsidy pro-
gram from July 81 to October 81
and the time for exporting cotton
products from October 81 to No
vember 30
Secretary Wallace said war condi-
tions in Europe, lack of cargo space
and disrupted shipping schedules
had delayed actual export of part
of the cotton and cotton products
involved. About 100000 bales in
the form of cotton or cotton prod
ucts remain to be exported, he said.
