 Miss Rankin, then the only one Of her sex in Congress, sat through the tlrst roll call with bowed head, failing to answer to her name. on the second roll call, which came after 5 o'clock in the morning, she arose and said with tremulous voice:

"Then Ay don't talk" declared
Hans Svenson firmly.
The chief stabbed him with mar
rowed eyes. That's an interesting
reaction. Those who have nothing
to hide will naturally cooperate
willingly

"You mean Ay hide something"

talk?"
Hans could think Of no immedi-

thing too sensational out OF this.
John Ives killed himself"
That's another interesting reac-

Because the only moment when
a gunshot might have gone unheard
the moment that the two trains
crashed in this room-was when
Ives was alone in the other room"

Spinelli was sarcastic. What
murderer would take such g
chance, firing through the whirline

The police chief waved the ides
aside. I'VE know from the position
of the body that Ives fell out Of his
seat at the control panel after HI
was shot. And because he had beer
sitting at the control panel VIZ
know from the wound that the bull

and then the "days" the
gas bill, the electric bill, the
rent, clothing, coal bills
have been finally settled
and then the round starts
all over again. After all of
this Father is finally per-
mitted to have his Day for
a whole "a hours and
Sunday, June Is, is the date.
Father, make up your
mind now to enjoy that day.
You're entitled to it-and
