of the next day long ways off. lived so much
in the present / never had much time to think
about the future.
Frank got UP and came to me that evening
while we were alone in the big place, now suddenly
grown quiet He seemed strangely changed. He
was tender was frightened by an unnatural
look in his eyes, but fought hard to conceal my
fears.
Frank darling, do you really want to stop
drinking" asked him.
Eyes Bubbles, if you will only stay with me"
he said "but let's not talk of that now. 1t may be
only in eternity he added, mysteriously
Tonight we must be alone, absolutely alone!
This is the most important night in our whole
lives.
First, there are a few things 1 want you to
do"
A plan of some kind was taking form in Franks
disturbed mind.
"All right, darling what do you want me to
do?" tried to hold my voice steady.
He didn't answer but took me by the hand and
led me into the kitchen. Then he brought scool.
Get up on it, he said brusquely.
I obeyed him.
Now. YOU can reach that bell. Bend the
knocker so it won't ring. Careful, dear, don't fall"
-. I bent it just little but he was watching me
closely
~ more than that. Bubbles I want to be
2aolutely sure 1t doesn't ring, that no one gets in

So fearful was l after what the doctors had
told me about Franks murderous scheme that l
secretly had made the butler promise to return at
2 o'clock in the morning, even though he had been
discharged.

my last tie with the outside world. The butler

great city was completely alone with liquor

Frank kept his eyes glued to the clock while ne
toyed with the point of that cleaning knife There
we sat in silence broken only at intervals Wnen
Frank would say:
"I'm waiting for the right time"
I was firmly convinced then that he had some
diabolical plan to kill me at certain time in
hideous, spectacular manner.
Suddenly the thunderous peal of Big Ben rang
out Chimes and bells began ringing everywhere.
1t was midnight, New Years Eve.
In my terror had forgotten time and place.
Maybe this was the moment Frank had chosen.

Danaher Praises
 Billy Fitzgerald

Representative William J. Fitzger- aid, always labor's friend, and a staunch Democrat from Norwich, is reminding Congress that while the cry is for more ships under the defense program the old Groton Iron Works shipyard remains idle.
 Senator John A. Danaher (Rep., Conn. lauded Representative Fitzger- aids efforts, saying: 'In Groton, Conn.,, there is a shipyard waiting to convert ships, and the yard can't get a license. There are ways and slips, and the ship builders are experienced men who built dozens of ships during the last war. Speaking of this mat ter, let me pay tribute to Representa- tive William J. Fitzgerald of Connec- ticut who has labored SO hard in this particular. He has called meetings and gotten the facts together; he has brought the whole situation to the attention of the Maritime Commission and of other authorities. Yet the yard to which I have referred is not opened"

 In the second category found those individuals who nave been frustrated in their private les and develop aggressive attitudes individuals and groups that be placed in the position of scapegoas

 Psychologists, like other iberyovng individuals recog nize the importance of preserving and extending and of defending against dangers from from during times of crisis many individuals are more apt to be influenced by prejudice than by reason, and of feeling may lead to acts of the gravest injustice.

 Service Men
Ober, Corbin and Borst To Direct U.S.O. Campaign
 In New Haven

Arrangements were made Monday noon at the Hotel Taft for state wide program for the United Service Organizations for Defense, Inc, in its coming drive to raise funds for rec reational facilities outside of gov |ernment reservations and in isolated areas where new defense industries have sprung up. New Haven's share in ten million dollar campaign is to be $47,0OO.
 Agencies Band Together
 Six service agencies will band to- gether under the plan and, calling themselves the United Service Or ganizations, will provide a program of sports, social entertainments and welfare work in club houses the gov ernment will construct. Most of the campaigns are being organized by the Community Chests in cities where there is such an organization. Other wise, towns and cities are being can vassed by state group so that every community will share in providing recreation for the service man and defense worker in his leisure time.
 Feinmark a Sponsor
 Within the local organization are many labor groups and prominently identified with them is Harold V. Feinmark, president of the New Ha- ven Central Labor Council. Mir. Fein- mark, personally sponsoring the cam paign, has sent letters to all the unions asking them to consider it in their programs.
 Heading the national campaign is Walter Flowing of New York who is assisted by Thomas E. Dewey, dis trict attorney of New York, as na- tional chairman. Oliver Ober is pres ident of the local group with Arthur Corbin, IT,, as chairman of the exec utive board and Homer Borst of the Community Chest as secretary.

Boom Towns No Paradise

MEMPHIS. = While complaining bitterly about the high wages paid to defense building trades workers, the press has ignored the skyrocket- ing living costs in overcrowded de- fense towns.
 This charge is made in the Mem phis Labor Review official AFL paper for Memphis and West Tennessee, by Editor Charles H. Maughan.
 With all the hullaballoo about union initiation fees, big wages for union labor, defense stoppages by strikes, and all that stuff appearing in the daily press l. there has been very little-very, very little-printed about the other side of the picture, the scalping of workers who journey away from their homes for jobs now deemed so urgent to the safety of the U. s.
 Conditions Deplored
 Memphis workers, returning this week from defense projects tell of living conditions made deplorable by sudden booms in small towns which, overnight, become cities in popula- ton but still remain small towns in their capacities for feeding, housing and caring for every day needs of thousands and thousands of men and women who flock to defense project.
 Electrical workers, returning from la project in Alabama, say they were
