CHAPTER TWENT1-IHhEE
The paint, Madge noticed was
peeling off the woodwork around
the doorway, and the curtains
inside the glass panel of the door
were badly sun-faded. A radio
was blarIng away IN the house
some place. as it had been the
previous night, making so mueh
noise that she didn't hear the
click of the door latch.
1t suddenly swung OPEN and
she all but betrayed her nerves
by uttering an exclamation.
A woman. wearing cheap
hostess gown of sickly pink. stood
cycling the girl from head to foot.
Her blond hair very evidently was
not natural. as dark streaks show
ed at the parts.
"Yes?" she demanded, sharply,
her brown eyes darting at
Madge's suitcase and then back
to the girls face.
do you have a room?' Madge
asked. "I saw your sign, and
No Rooms
The woman made as though
to close the door, and then ap-
parently thinking better of it,
answered that she had no rooms

AL my rooms are taken now.
forgot to take in the sign,
the woman answered. Her wari-
ness. which was the way Madge
described it to herself, displayed
when she first came to the door,
seemed to disappear when she
learned the mission of her caller
and she even smiled a little as
Madge glanced at a short-haired
cat which was rubbing against her
ankles.
That's a nice cat" Madge re-
marked, hoping to start a con-
versation.
"Yes-I call him Jimmy. He's
a smart cat, all right-smarter
than most dogs. Do you like cats,
too?"
Il love them the girl assured
her. and reached down and rubbed
the animal between the ears and
under the chin with her hand.
She looked up to find the woman
actually smiling at her. She was
fairly large, fact that the tight
fitting hostess gown didn't conceal
and Madge decided that under the
right conditions, she might not be
as forbidding as she had thought
at first.
I'm sorry about not finding a
ROOM" Madge said. 1--WE got to
find some place to stay. Do you
know of any place else in the
neighborhood? l have to be near
the car line, you know
You might try across the street
at Mrs. Ferrari's. She sometimes
has a room she rents. although
she never bothers to put up a sign,
l don't know an awful lot about
the district myself. Haven't lived
here so very long"
AS she was talking, the woman
opened the door a bit wider and
Madge was able to look inside.
The hallway was almost as shabby
as the exterior. The carpet was
gray from wear, and the wood
work, painted dark, was cracked
and scratched.
1t was hard for her to picture
the immaculate Dan Nichols
even knowing about such place,
let alone entering it and using
it as a rendezvous as he had the
previous night.
1t suggested to her that there
probably was lot about Dan that
she didn't know.
Farewell Pat
She thanked the woman, reached
down for a farewell pat to the
purring cat and picked up her
suitcase and went across the
street. This house, too, was shah

Hatch on Radio Forum
Senator to Speok Tomorrow Night
On Corrupt Politics Legislation

Senator Hatch, Democrat, Of New

tices," in a radio address tomorrow

He will speak at 10:30 o'clock on
the National Radio Forum, ar
ranged by The Star and broadcast
over a coast-to-coasu network Of
the National Broadcasting Co. The
program will be heard locally over
Station WMAL.
Senator Hatch, who entered the
Senate in 1893, became concerned
by the possibilities Of corrupt politi-
cal practices growing out Of the
vast Government relief appropri-
ations flowing from the Treasury
without adequate safeguards.
He began in 1885 his efforts to
have passed legislation dealing with
the problem but for more than
three years he failed to interest q
suf{icient number Of his colleagues
in his proposals. The scope Of his
proposals .broadened all the while.

The contest was unusual. Most
of the $50 persons in the audience
were hard Of hearing, and earphone
facilities were hooked to a micro
phone on the platform to enable
them to follow the contest.

were uttered. Then the contestants
answered into the microphone.

were of normal hearing.
There were four parts to the

asked to repeat them. Next they
were asked to repeat 10 sentences
verbatim. During the third por-
tion of the contest, the readers
mouthed descriptions of things and
the contestants were asked to name
them. Finally, the team members
were asked questions and their un-
derstanding was judged by the CO.

The readers were alternated 80

Gen. johnson Blasts
New Deal Handouts
Before Partyleaders
Urges Nomination Of
old L ine' Democrat at
Jefferson Dinner
BY the Associated Press.


NEW YORK. April 6.-Hugh S.
Johnson belabored the Roosevelt
administration tonight before a
group of high Democratic leaders,
and inferentially urged that the
party nominate for President James
A. Farley, John Garner, Cordell Hull
or some other "old-school Demo-
crat."
The speaker who introduced the
speaker took too much time and as
result, the Columbia Broadcasting
System said. Gen. johnson was cut
of the air midway in his speech at
the Jefferson dinner of the Ma
tional Democratic Club. Gen. john
son was allotted about Is minutes,
but the introduction ran 8 minutes
instead Of the expected l. Previous
commitments, system officials said,
made it necessary to halt the broad
cast at the end of the allotted time.
Justice Lloyd Church of the New
York Supreme Court, first judicial
district, introduced the general.
In speech Gen. johnson as
serted:
go - Neither our political nor
our economic system can long en-
dure the cost of billions of annual
handouts to purchase dissident
groups and make the Nation safe
for the Democratic party"
Politicians found the tone of his
speech significant, particularly in
view of the fact that he declared
at the start that officials of the
dinner were specifically warned
wl,en I was asked to come here
that I am not a linguist and can
only talk like a Democrat and not
like the mangled remains left by
the bright young men of the Wash
ington palace guards"
Suggests Two Policies.
The general declared there were
two policies which were "the way
out Of our valley Of despair" add
ing:
"The Democratic party should be
the leader in adopting them.
Simply these two-governmental
economy and the utmost in freedom
Of private enterprise consistent with
the public peace and welfare"
He said at another point that
''the way matters are going now
Mr.. Roosevelt, whether he takes
himself out of the race or not, will
be nominated by acclamation after
some stampeding cross-of-gold and
crown-of-thorn speech in the con-
vention. Then, if the Republicans
repeat their campaign Of four years
ago-nothing but criticism plus i'm
itation New Deal-half of the party
saying one thing and the other half
saying the reverse of that and neith-
er saying much-it will be 1885 over
again in the election as well as the
campaign, and they certainly have
