fear that it would cost more money

head quickly. II probably have

When she had paid her Afra dues,
Romany was down to the live dol
lars she had upon arriving IN CHI
cago. If it hadn't been for Ha1ler's
Desserts, she would have been
frantic trying to raise the money
She said a little prayer that the
wheels at Interstate would begin
turning very suddenly in her favor.
At dinner, in a modest little table
d'hote restaurant on Randolph
street, Baxter Tree took a tabloid
from his pocket and handed it to
Romany, smiling.
"Look at Tanner Yeoman's radio
column" He pointed to a small cir
cled paragraph.
Romany gasped. In bold black
type she read, with a mixture OF
emotions:
"seen at Landau's dining last
evening: Brent Nelson, announcer,

revealed she is Romany Halle, heir
ess to Harlowe farm implements mil

Romany exploded: "How did that
get in there?"
Bax chuckled.
That's what you get for STEP
ping out with famous announcers
in Aunt Cissie's furs! But don't let
it worry you. That kind of publicity
won't do you any harm. If they

"Say!" Brent finished his cocktail
in a gulp. Are you %lecturing meg
Romany smiled, but her eyes
were serious.

enough about those things. I've
never been married and I've never

"Just a minute before you throw
me too far off the track with your
clever feminine trick of evasion

in me that you won't see~ me any

Romany was taken aback. She
hesitated, coloring slightly. Then
she said frankly:
ST shouldn't see you. But I prob
ably will. Since you are really re
sponsible for all that has happened
to me in radio in the last couple
of days. You'll have to just consld

Repeal Blank Check
Powers Of President :
Gannett Urges
Calls on Republicans
To Assume Leadership
Now, Not Next Yeor
~ the Associated Press.

~ the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Feb. 3.-Frank E.
Gannett, a candidate for the Re-
publican presidential nomination,
called for his party today to 'as-
sumo leadership now, not wait until
next year, to demand repeal of the
blank check powers of the presi-
dency."
Government must be restored to
its proper function as umpire, not
player in the game" he told lunch
con meeting of the National Repub-
lican Club in an address broadcast
nationally.
I'VE are fed up on the umpire
playing quarterback, debating the
rules, changing them in the middle
of the game, calling the signals, run
ming the ball, and throwing pop
bottles at any one he happens to
dislike in the grandstand or the
bleachers.'
Charging the New Deal was lead
ing America straight into collec-
tivism," Mr.. Gannett said: I'VE can
not pussyfoot and walk on the fence
on this fundamental issue"
Under the heading of "emer-
gency," he continued, "the New
Dealers are reaching for more pow
er-such power, for example, as the
Presidents assumed right to ignore
the limits on appropriations set by
Congress"
He outlined the Republican party's
"first problems" as strict neutrality,
employment and restoration of agri-
culture ito economic equality with
industry and labor"
He did not specifically mention
the third-term issue, but declared:
mo emergency has arisen since last
April and none can arise, not even
d war emergency, that would justify
continuance of an administration
that has been such failure.
I'VE must face the hard, cold fact
that our Constitution has been
threatened with destruction and still
is in danger; that liberty, every
where, is in danger; that the rights
and privileges guaranteed to us by
our Constitution have been under
mined while we have slept.
I'VE must show the people
that they cannot be fed forever out
Of the public Treasury or amused
forever on the New Deal merry-go-
round"
He repeated his assertion of last
April that President Roosevelt
should resign because the New Deal
had mot solved one of the Nations
major problems"
Mr.. Gannett, publisher of 19 news
papers, urged more profit sharing
with workers, "the right to organize,
or not to be organized, with assured
freedom to bargain collectively;
"'the right to work, or not to work"
and the rewriting of labor laws '1n
the public interest and in the spirit
Of even-handed justice"

They were to be served on the

From the door a uniformed mate
asked Hayworth:
Shall we sail, sir?"

down beside Cholly.
There was a piano in the lounge.
Brent was curious to hear Cholly
play. If she were talented, with her
adorable face and figure, televlsion
might mean a chance for her to
break into radio. After dinner he
would ask her to play.
Signing contentedly, Brent reach

Cholly liked Brent Nelson in

"Oh, just one of the Hayworth's
smaller craft. You should see the

Dover Hayworth, himself, helped
his guests on to the yacht. A quick
look told Cholly that, besides
money, he had about everything else.
He was medium sized, light haired
and bronzed to a rich brown. When
he smiled he showed large, even
white teeth. There was no mistaking
the warm friendliness of his brown
eyes.

Miss Cavanaugh, former clerk in

five minutes.
During croSS-examination, she
declared that former Tax Collector

taken cash from her cage in the

check for the amount. She admitted
delaying the recording of some

the request of Mr.. Ennis.
She claimed also that cash had
been given a messenger sent by
former Mayor Frank Hayes. She was
being cross-eXamined along this
line when court was adjourned.
