excitement started.
 Hecklers somewhere in the hall began yelling questions. Who's paying your wayP" "Whet kind of a government do you want?" 'The labor unions are doing all right without your helpl", Come out from behind that Moscow frontl" Where's your swastika?"
 The meeting was seething mass of confusion. Nick had dis appeared and Vera was struggling up the aisle toward the exit. Sue Mary cringed back against the wall, afraid to try for the door lest she be trarnpled by the crowd She saw police pushing their way in, and then she felt Nick's arms about her.
 She couldn't remember much about getting out. Nick had showed her through a side door, into an alley and through the blackneSs of the summer night to 8 quiet street where his cal was parked.
 How did you get the car here? she asked after they were safely driving into the still, peaceful residential section. We were parked right in front of the hall"
 He looked at her quickly and there was a moments silence be- fore he parked the car and took her in his arms. Maybe I was just lucky. I didn't want any thing to happen to you"
 It wasn't an answer to her ques- tion, but the suddenness of his emotion frightened her. She tried hard to push him away and laugh at his intensity.
 ''The meeting upset you" she said. "Why did those men make that trouble?"
 Don't bother your pretty head about it." Nick told her. That's for me to worry about. And it wasn't really trouble. We'll get more space in the papers tomor- row than if nothing had happened. We can show there are forces at work that don't want the people to know the truth: forces trying to sop us in our work"
 Half-formed doubts were in her mind and it was as though Nick sensed that uncertainty. Joe's words stayed with her: crackpots always waving a flag for some cause or other. She tried to free herself from Nick's arms, but he held heI closer, murmuring her name over and over.
 Poor little frightened Sue Mary. No, the place for you is in a home. You're not like the others"
 I guess I'm not like Vera" she admitted. She's always so sure of what she's doing"
 I've been thinking about Vera though" Nick said. She's work ing too hard and the party can't afford to pay her much. Next week, after the primaries, there will be less to do for a while.
 T wish Vera could get a job like yours. Maybe you could help her get work. Something in your office, perhaps. Don't some of the girls go on vacations soon? Maybe Vera could fill in for few months"
 Well - I don't know, Nick. hadn't thought about it, but per haps she could. She's very eff cient. I could tell them abou her"
 You will them" His voice wa! eager and she felt herself help less to refuse.
 At the office next morning sh' wished she hadn't committed her.

CHAPTER VIII

It had been 8 week since she and Nick had had an actual date. To be sure, Sue Mary had seen him at the hall when he dashed in to check or plans for the rally; had answered questions, given orders, held hur- ried conferences with Natalie and Vera, and had flashed Sue Mary that quizzical smile that always made her feel they shared a secret understanding.
 Now, after having been with Joe, she had lost that feeling of a hidden bond between herself and Nick. Knowing that he would call for her in a short time failed to give her that sense of anticipa- ton - of something exciting just ahead. Joe's arms about her last night, his calmness, his solid ness, his slow, cautious reasoning seemed to have cleared the rain- bows away.
 Perhaps she and the others were only children playing a silly but exciting game. Maybe all this political ballyhoo, was just so much smoke, and maybe the coun- try wouldn't go to ruin without the message Youth Progress was trying to send forth.
 But then Nick came and they were of to the hall and his en- thusiasm, his fire his words car ried her along. Up to now the rally had been office talk; plans on paper, programs and handbiils, In the hall there was reality; reality in the presence of crowds of people; blue haze from ciga- rets, music from a chorus on the stage singing party songs.
 Nick was here, there and every where, but Sue Mary was content to sit quietly in the back near the door where he could slip in the seat beside her when the talks started.
 Much of it was already familiar because of listening to Nick and Vera. The pattern was the same. Help the worker live a decent life: talk the power away from the capitalists. Stop the munition barons on Wall street. Don't let them send us to war.
 
 It was when Fred King, the can- didate for governor at the pri- maries, got up to speak that the

CI0 HEAD LEWIS REpUDIATED FOR
 WILLkIE STAND
Leaders. Unions Against Endorsement = White
 House Gets Pledges
(By Associated Press)

{ The endorsement of Wendell L. l Willkie for President made by John L. Lewis CIO head, in his radio broadcast last Friday. Las drawn from the White House the asser- tion that many CIO leaders and local unions have "repudiated' the stand of Lewis, and have pledged loyalty to President Roosevelt.
 Secretary Stephen Early said some 200 telegrams" were received early last Saturday morning, most of them from CIO leaders and many CIO unions, who said in gen. eral that Lewis has chosen to 80 down the lonely road
 Miners for Roosevelt
 Early also said he had received telephone call from Van A. Bitt- ner, head of the United Mine Work CTS in West Virginia, saying he will announce himself and his followers as loyal to Roosevelt and will make this declaration in a speech next Thursday night.
 Another Lewis Repudiation
 President Carol Bersin, of the Philadelphia Industrial Union Coun- cil in Philadelphia, representing all CIO Unions in that city, declared that Lewis exercised the right of every member of the CIO to speak his own opinion but If he thinks he is speaking for the entire CIO, he is general without an army"
 Knew of Yewis' Plans
 In Akron, Ohio, Frank Grillo, Secretary Treasurer of the United Rubber Workers of America, CIO affiliate, said Lewis told officers three weeks ago he was holding the endorsement of Roosevelt ''jn his pocket" to gain two objectives, reappointment of J. Warren Mad den to the Labor Board and de- nial of Government defense con- tracts to certain firms, including Bethlehem Steel and Ford Motor Company.
 Is Boomerang
 The endorsement of Willkie, ac- cording to many industrialists, may prove a boomerang Scores of in dustrialists have no faith in Lewis nor his organization because Of broken promises and they do not want to line up with man for President who is endorsed by Lew is, who is alleged to have spoken for the CIO.
 | The CIO Industrial Union Coun- cil in San Francisco immediately disapproved of Lewis in supporting Willkie. Lewis stated in his broad cast that if Roosevelt was reelect- ed, he would resign as head of the CIO The San Francisco coun- Gil however, passed a resolution urging Lewis to remain in office irrespective of the outcome of the election
 Willkic Pleased
 Willkie termed the enoorsement
 Willkie termed the endorsement bringing spontaneous unity of ac- l tion and purpose that will follow as soon as we are elected" In his speeches Saturday night in New York City and Brooklyn, Willkie did not mention once the Lewis endorsement.
