ANDRE MAKES PLANS
CHAPTER V
"Whe-e-euw!"


 Andre Girardeau breathed that, then turned slowly down the arched corridor leading from the Pueblo U. administration building to the lib- rary. He went only few feet be- fore he halted, though; he felt that, for personal as well as professional reasons, he simply must have an- other and better look at the Mex ican girl.
 The bespectacled man was at her left, helping her to walk. With her right arm she handed her one crutch clumsily.
 Andre decided her act was none too convincing. But he also de- cided that any sort of act was un- important; what really impressed him was the appearance of this girl.
 "M-M-M-m-m-m!" Andre gave murmured tribute again, already sensing the pleasure when he should meet this girl.
 He saw her perfection of teeth, lips almost too carmine. He noted the way her hair chung to her head in ringlets, swept low and backward.
 He saw, too, that her initial touch of haughtiness had faded when the bespectacled man came to escort her from her car; patent ly, then, this lady responded to masculine attention. Without be- ing seen at least more than casual ly, he slipped on down the arch ways and out of her sight.
 He walked along the shaded ave nue toward his hotel. An irrigation canal there made rippling rivulet, beautiful in ref1ecting the trees as well as giving them life. At a lovely rustic bridge he paused moment to study his image in the quieter pool. He smiled at himself; he, Andre Girardeau, should be able to enjoy this assignment, with a beautiful senorita and with Ronica Bailey both as protagonists in his little drama. He wasn't bad looking; not
 
 at all.
 He adjusted his tie, whistled little softly, meditatively, and walked on. He reasoned next that he would have to set himself up ill some dude ranch nearby to give outward excuse for his presence in and around Pueblo. The idea was distasteful, but he supposed he would have to ride a horse some in the western way, and no doubt listen to tall tales of Indian massa- cres and such. However, when he should form his contact with the Mexican girl boredom ought sure- 1y to vanish.

Court Is Asked to Rule
On Freedom of Press
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
The Justice Department yesterday
asked the Supreme Court to rule
that the Federal Constitution af-
fords protection against private in
reference with freedom of the press
Solicitor General Francis Biddle
said in a petition that the extent to
which Congress has the power to
protect the freedom of the press
against private aggression "is a
problem of considerable Importance
to the Government"
He sought review of a decision
by the Fifth Federal Circuit Court
dismissing charges against five per-
sons accused of conspiracy to inter-
fere with freedom of the press.
They were alleged to have trapped
and photographed Henry P. Ewald
described as executive editor of GER
tain newspapers in Mobile, Ala" in
q compromising position in order tc
cause him to discontinue campaign
against local gambling.
Mr.. Biddle said that the Justice
Department was holding in abeyance
prosecution of similar cases by its
civil liberties section until the Su.
preme Court acted.
