about it from her girl friend who worked in
the cannery, where Dave was sort of an
assistant to the traffic manager and Butch
was only a shipping clerk. Dave had chance
to be traffic manager himself He was bright.
They said that of him around the office,
her girl friend told her. But the trouble was,
he let people walk all over him. Or anyway
he gave that impression.
AS for the bad impression, Butch Meenan
was responsible for most of that. He wanted
Dawes job. He thought he'd get it by bully
ing Dave, to show him up for softy. Dave
was one of several people Butch was sup
posed to take orders from, but he made a
point of getting only Dawes orders mixed

up, or putting them off till last, and then
Dave would get bawled out by the traffic
manager.
And Butch had started calling Dave
names when they'd meet in the elevators.
Once he'd called him milksop right in front
of the boss, and the boss had looked at Dave
as if to say, why do you let him get away
with it," Knowing what she did, Jeanie
hated Butch Meenan. But she knew there
were Butch Meenans everywhere in this
world, and that there was something Dave
had to fight in himself.
If he didn't fight it now, it would be harder
in the future, and maybe there wouldn't be
any future for the two of them Dave hadn't

wouldn't until he could feel sure of his job.
And maybe she wouldn't want him to ask
until until he could feel sure of himself.
The light had changed to green now. Dave
didn't seem to have noticed it. She could feel
the tension of his arm again. and as she slid
her fingers upward, she felt the tautness of
his smooth, lean muscle. 1t wasn't bunchy
muscle such as Butch probably had, but it
was long and hard and she knew he could
serve fast one at tennis.
Dawes eyes were still shifting nervously
to the fellows on the corner a block away.
He turned to her and his face was pale.
What do you say?" he said.
What do say to what?" She knew, but
she pretended she didn't.
Shall we try the other place? That soda
had at Parsons"
Il didn't care 50 much for the other place"
she said quickly, trying to keep her voice
steady. Il mean, the man they have there -
he thinks he's Clark Cables double, or some
thing"
We'll - okay," Dave said.
She pulled at his arm. Three quick little
tugs. Come on, the lights1l be changing in
a second"
They crossed the street and started down
the block toward Pearsons drugstore. She
could feel the fear coming through the touch
of his body, and her own heart was beating
50 fast she felt faint. If he had suggested
once more that they 60 somewhere else, she
would have agreed gladly. But he didn't.
He walked on down the street as though
some one were pushing him.
When Butch Meenan saw them coming,
he turned to his friends and made remark
behind the back of his hand. He stood there
waiting for them, his stocky legs wide apart,
a cigarette dropping from the side of his
mouth One eye was closed from the cigar
ette smoke as he squinted at Dave. He was
grinning.
well if it isn't Mr.. Milksop," he said
The big boss himself. Hi va, milksop?"
Dave clenched his fists. His face went
shade paler His lips frightened as if he were
going to cry He didn't look at Butch. He
pretended not to notice him. But Butch
stood right in their way. They had to stop,
and ease around him. Butch turned with
them as they passed. Then he reached out
his chunky hand and took hold of her arm.
Come on, kid" he said. What you want
is a man. A man with hair on his chest"
Jeanie let out little scream. And then
she slapped Butch's face.
AFTER it was all over, she began to get
clear picture of what had happened. She
remembered how Dave swung around, how
he grabbed Butch's tie with his left hand,
and how white Dawes lips went as his right
fist smashed into Butch's face.
Butch went down and he didn't get up.
He sat there on the pavement, shaking his
head and holding his hand over his eye.
1t was going to be all right from now on,
her instinct told her. She was glad she'd
remembered about that boy who had hurt
Dawes dog.
And she guessed Dave wouldn't ever have
to know she had winked at Butch Meenan.

SOMEWHERE IN THE INDIAN
OCEAN OFF THE AFRICAN
COAST. VIA NAIROBI-Beyond
the periphery of submarine operation
in the Atlantic, German sea raiding
has undergone a profound change
in technique since World War days.
In the enlarged coastline available
as result of their continental mill
tary successes, the NaZis have at
their disposal scores of excellent
points from Norway to the Bay of
Biscay. making the problem of re-
turning home for refueling and sup
ply easier than in Hohenzollern days.
But merchant raider operations in
far-away waters like the Indian
Ocean have become riskier due to
improved facilities for radio loca-
ton Of threatened ships. With the
British fleet, and now the American
Navy searching for them, fast
freighters, originally built to Ger
man admiralty specifications for
conversion into far-ranging raiders,
have been forced to adopt nibbling
technique instead of the wholesale
sinkings which characterized SINH
lar period of the last war.
Ordered Not to Sink All Ships.
NaZi captains are under orders not
to sink every freighter crossing their
course, but to leave an interval of
two or three weeks between attacks.
The purpose of this is double-to
avoid giving the British Admiralty
| too frequent fixes on their position
and to avoid creating damage so
great that would result in large
scale campaign against them. Hit
ler's aim here is to create constant
risk in all the waters of the globe
without provoking thorough repris-
ais anywhere.
| In a conversation with the Scotch
master of freighter which formerly
piled between Liverpool and Burma,
carrying many American passen-
gers, and which now lies at the bot
tom of the Indian Ocean about 500
miles south of Ceylon, your CORE

The club refused to accept the resig-

One day in January, two United
States sailors, on leave from a Navy
hospital, climbed a fire escape, and
tore down a swastika flag from the
consulate office, while a crowd of
several thousands watched them
from the street.

flag constituted violation of inter-
n.tional law" Capt. Wiedemann
said in commenting on the incident
The sailors were promptly turned
back to the Navy.
Called Espionage Chief.
In a law suit filed in q California
court in February by Mrs Alice
Crockett, Capt. Wiedemann was de-
scribed as the head Of the Nazi es-
pionage system in the United States.
Mrs. Crockett, a native of Switzer-
land, asserted that Capt. Wiede-
mann had sent her to Germany on
confidential mission, and had re-
fused to pay her for her services.
She demanded $4,000.
In her complaint, she said that
Capt. Wiedemann had told her that
1t was the plan of the German Gov
ernment Ito promote strife and class
hatred for the purpose of destroying
unity and undermining the strength"
Of the United States.
She also asserted that Capt.
Wiedemann had received $4,000, 900
from the German Government for
espionage activity" that he had
employed many persons for this
purpose, and that he had been "ac-
tive in secretly storing large quanti-
ties of ammunition" particularly in

Well Treated by Germans.
when We got aboard the raider
we found quarters already prepared

ters for captured masters, chief Of

crew were housed in another con-

hands. but the treatment and food
were extremely shabby as soon as
the NaZis delivered us to the
Fascists.
Mani Captain Disliked Job.
THE captains name was Rogge;
we never found out the ships name.
Rogge had placards throughout the
ship stating that the food of all the
passengers was identical and We
found this to be true. Whenever
fruits or Conserves were taken from
aboard captured ships they were
equally served throughout. My i'm
preston is that raider prisoners fare
well or badly purely according to
the attitude of the NaZi captain
Rogge evidently disliked the job, as
any true seaman would He ap-
parently abhorred particularly firing
on ships where women and children
were aboard and when he found We
had them he was quite evidently
displeased and got rid Of them as
soon as he could"
Asked how this was accomplished,
the captain said:
Three weeks after getting us
Rogge forced a Norwegian freighter
to surrender. He was eager to get
rid of some Indian lascar seamen
taken on three vessels captured
prior to us. as we'll as the women
and children. He put them aboard
the Norwegian with prize crew
They reached some port in occupied
France and all were taken to Ger
many. where. from post cards, We
know they are still interned.
Raider Even Had a Plane.
"Rogge's freighter had every ap-
purtenance of a regular member of
the fleet, even including an airplane.
The plane was a two-seater, but
could be used only when the sea
was calm because 1t had to be lower
ed over the side, there being no
catapult aboard
"Rogge used the airplane only
about once week and Enthusiastically
wished that this arm should create
as little impression as possible. Only
once. when British freighter
seemed on the point of escaping,
he used the plane to attack. Bombs
were dropped, but all missed and

Important Mission for Hitler.
Capt. Wiedemann has been close

In 1885 he became Hitler's personal
aide. Since then the careers of the
two men have been closely linked.
Hitler intrusted Capt. Wiedemann
with several important diplomatic
missions abroad. Just before the
Munich conference he sent him to
London for talks with high officials
Of the British government. At home.
Capt. Wiedemann attended to many

Rogge used to call the raider proud
ly German Warship,' which rather
annoyed me.
TN all, Rogge got 10 ships, three
before us and seven in three and a
half months. until his food began
to run low, in October. Apparently
also, his Diesel oil supply was get
ting short. Without any reason
whatever he simply captured a
Yugoslav freighter-this being SIX
months before Belgrade was bombed.
We were given choice Of remain
ing aboard Rogge's raider or being
taken to an Italian Somaliland con-
centration camp in the YugoslaV
freighter. Rogge made us speech
saying frankly, I warn you that the
treatment you get henceforward
won't be as good as you have had
so far. It's up to you to decide Tor
yourselves whether you want to
take your chances with us or not

There were % of us and we all
decided to try Italian life. Before
leaving Rogge's raider we were able
to ascertain that although he used
his own radio almost never, he re

from Berlin. Where Berlin got them

Finally, we were put in prison

the Italians that better food had
