But his smile was quick and friendly, his
manner pleasant. 1t had to be. 1t wasn't easy,
and Tim Maholan was finding it out, to be a
young man in charge of older men, particu-
larly on the force.
Il always hoped" he said, smiling at them,
to work my way up in the world in spite of
my education, but you boys seem to think it's
worse than halitosis. Maybe you're right,

pals have we got here?"

onto the rest of them
well, bring in what we have, will you, and
let me get good look at them
4HE big lights were on. The five men sat
under them, miserably uncomfortable in the
straight backed chairs the sweat showing up
on their foreheads. Tim paid no attention to
that. Even innocent men looked guilty under
the lights. The forced inaction, the heat and
glare of the lights beating down on their heads
and into their unprotected faces did that to
everyone. That didn't prove thing to
trained officer.
He sat down in the big leather chair facing
them and balanced the hat carefully on his
knees.
What you going to do with the hat?"
asked Bannon.
Give it to my girl" said Tim. ''She COL

The five men shifted their eyes slowly and

just little. Five pairs of eyes swung away
again, looking at nothing.
Tim, glancing at the expressionless faces,
sighed and settled back into his chair. He
hadn't, after all. really expected it to be that
easy He'd known he d have to wait for what
he wanted
He played with the hat, turning it round
and round slowly on his knee. He pinched the
crown into shape: he turned the snap brim up
and turned it down again. The men sat
straight in their chairs fidgeting little now
and then. waiting for Tim to start something.
He didn't.
He didn't know himself how long it lasted.
1t could have been ten minutes; it felt more
like an hour. Or two. They all just sat there,
each one waiting for something to happen the
very next minute, and the tension grew in the
room, like a whirring noise until he could
hear it and feel it beating against him. 1t was
beating against the men, too. He could see it
in their tired faces, their strained eyes. He
could see the hysteria growing in them, and
he could not tell if it would break in them
first or in him. He could only sit and wait,
twirling the hat round and round, pretending
to be calm.
The man nearest him gave in first.
Water" he screamed suddenly For gosh
sake, give me drink!'' The others started
yelling too. They raised their voices and
shouted at him, and pulled at their collars and
yelled for water.

and you II meet three of them - SO how are
you going to prove whose hat it is? says.
He looks at the lining and shifts at it and
shows me little stain you'd hardly notice

That's clue in itself, he says.
Sure it is says. Boy, now we do know
something about him. We know he uses hair

"He looks kind of cross at that, and says
in pure Harvard, There are still fingerprints,

office and he hasn't come out since, l hope to

Until now," said Joe College, from the
doorway He stood looking soberly down at
the two men. He was a tall boy, young looking
for his age, and almost little ridiculous in
the extreme care with which he had eliminated
all the telltale marks of college from his
clothes and appearance - his blue serge suit
was shiny, his shoes were heavy and square
toed, and his necktie red He had even worn
derby until someone knocked it off for him,
and he had tried, just once, to smoke cigar.

6. W. Dean Declares
Dr.. Koyser Tells Deboters
England, If Victorious,
Will Lose Position

Regardless of the European War,
the United States Is destined to
become the new world leader, DR..
Elmer Louis Kayser, dean of uni
versity students and professor Of
European history at George Wash
ington University, said yesterday.
He told delegates to the uni
versity's eighth annual high school
debate conference that the day
when England can sit on the control
board in Europe and pull the
switches as she pleases Is gone
forever"
Should England win," he added,
there will be no such thing for
her as victory in the usual sense
of the word. 1t will be impossible
for her to trample over all of Nazi-
dominated Europe. She will thank
her lucky stars that she did survive,
If such occurs, and she will have no
time, and be in no position, to
police Europe as she once did.

at our vast continent, at our large
resources and at our great man
power and we will quickly be thrust
into England's former station
More than 200 delegates from
all the Districts senior high schools
and from nearby Virginia and
Maryland approved three resolutions
and defeated two others on questions
of adding to Federal powers over
States.
They approved, by a small ma
jority, to have the Government:
Establish a uniform code Of crimi-
nal laws to effect all States; set up
an educational system to be applied
throughout the country; and super
wise and control the activities OF
insurance, banking and loan corp
orations in all States.
They defeated resolution to give
the Federal Government exclusive
power to tax land turn a portion
of the income back to the States,
and turned down another which
would socialize medicine under COM

tors and Representatives. Some of
them, however. have already indi-
Gated they would resent any such
proceeding. They are inclined to
call attention to the fact that they
won election at the hands of their
people. when Mr.. Willkie failed. For
example. in Illinois the Republicans
elected Governor and Senator,
although the State went for Mr..
Roosevelt against Mr. Willkie. The
same thing happened in Ohio and
Minnesota, and the G.. o. P. re-
elected Governors in Massachusetts,
and Wisconsin, although those
States also went for Mr.. Roosevelt.
Mr.. Willkie has received a lot of
letters from supporters who would
like to see him head the Republican
national organization-but there are
many others who do not approve.
He would be in better position and
more footloose to carry on the work
of remolding the party if he sue
ceeded in having a national chair
man named satisfactory to himself.
Either Mr.. Martin or Mr.. Hollister
probably would be acceptable to Mr.
Willkie. Mr.. HolliSter travelled with
him during his long campaign, 1t
was Mr.. Willkie who named Mr.
Martin for the national chairman
ship after he had been nominated
for President.

During the present week, most of

was an active contender for the
presidential nomination this year
and who, should he be elected Gov

There also will be gathering of
the Democratic clans here for the
Gridiron dinner. Ed Flynn. chair
man of the Democratic National
Committee. is to return to New York
Monday from a vacation in Santo
Domingo, and will come here later
in the week.
There has been talk, in Mr. Flynn's
absence, of the appointment of an
executive director for the Demo-
cratic committee. Before leaving
New York three weeks ago Mr.. Flynn
said there was no prospect of such
an appointment; that he intended
to look after the work himself. If
there is any change in his attitude,
however, and a man is put at the
headquarters here. he will be the
selection of Mr.. Flynn. Mr. Flynn
is fighting Irishman, and if he
is to remain chairman of the COM
mittee he will run it-New> Dealers
to the contrary Notwithstanding
Those who have had dealings with
Mr. Flynn in the past know that he
has bulldog tenacity, although he
does not talk great deal in public.
