laughed, short bitter sound. Locke
felt his back muscles tighten at her
derision. He set his lips in thin
line.

to take him as he was, or how she
thought he was.

tened out tonelessly.
Have you somewhere we could

Janielle said, Yes, I can think

Janielle gazed at him reflectively.
TT doesn't seem possible" she
murmured. Her voice contained a
shade more than the ordinary sense
of the remark.
"But>it is" Locke answered, his
voice purposefully mocking.
That infuriated her, Locke noted.
There was a swift. bright color in
her cheeks. She tipped her hand
as though dismissing him from her
thoughts.
Il want to thank you" Janielle
bit of the words sharply. II know
that you weren't supposed to do this
by our agreement and you were
very good about it. You've saved

than that, his position. It's no use
to say that you might have had a
legitimate job out of your effort,
but you didn't seem to want that"
Her voice leveled out. Locke felt a
sharp irritation flicker in his mind.
I'D like to repay you in some way"
Janielle finished.
Locke almost said aloud that just
being here with her, being able to do
something for her was enough pay.
Instead he said, Fifty dollars would
come in handy"
Il haven't paid you anything yet.
I will have to add that on to the
original"
It guess I can trust you"
Janielle arose abruptly. II think

said directly. Locke heard her and
he knew that he would speak now.

had an unreasoning desire to stand
and tell them all what he thought
Of their lives, but then, as suddenly,
he calmed again. 1t was none Of
his business. He forced his mind
upon what was being said.
Lance Whitney was speaking.
But Jan, we don't go to the Green
Parrot often enough for Jim to COM

for the taking. I made a little last
night"
Janielle said, "Oh, but Jim
doesn't think I should go at all"
She turned to Locke and measured
him with her eyes. do you, dar-

him on.

About 3 o'clock that afternoon
Janielle swung her roadster into the
looping driveway that swept up to
a huge, rambling clubhouse. Over
the entrance was small, neatly let
tered sign that read: Green Lawn

parked competently and then, TO-

Whitney's face was slack. There

shone from the slitted eyes. Locke
knew, with q clear shock, that this

Locke regretted his agreement with
Janielle. To throw her to this man

Morgenthau Asks Revenue
For Two-Thirds Of Defense
BY the Associated Press.

Secretary Of the Treasury Nor
genthau said in a letter to Repre-
sentative Ludlow, Democrat OF In

one-third of the cost of the defense
program should come from borrow
ing and two-thirds from revenues.
He told Representative Ludlow
that the printed record" of his tes-
timony December II before a House
Appropriations Committee "incor-
rectly indicates" his attitude.
The hearings showed that he said
at that time:
If the situation should work it.

greSs should write the ticket Of two
thirds from borrowing and one third
from revenues I would be delighted
to accept it,
He told Representative Ludlow
that his attitude properly was set
forth In this statement before Sem
ate Finance Subcommittee:
IF the Congress would adopt q
program under which We could raise
through revenues an amount Suffi-
cient to finance two-thirds of all ex-
penditures, and one-third from bor-
rowing, think it would be very

Senate Republicans
Back Byrnes for
Supreme Court
6. o. P. Group Unanimous
In Support Of Democrat.
Report Indicates
Bs the Associated Press.

bN tEe Associated Press.
Senate Republicans, 1t was learned
yesterday, have advised President
Roosevelt that they unanimously
favor the appointment of Senator
ByrneS, Democrat, of South Caro-
lima to the Supreme Court.
Authoritative informantS said this
expression from Senator Byrnes' Re-
publican colleagues was conveyed to
the White House by Minority Leader
MCNary..
A Supreme Court seat has been
vacant since the retirement of AS
sociate Justice James c. McReynolds
on February l. Senator Byrnes fire.
quently has been mentioned for the
post, and several legislators have
declared his appointment was cer-
tain.
1t was reported yesterday that
President Roosevelt might make the
nomination early this week, but one
informant said it was not definite
that Senator Byrnes would be
named. This legislator said he be-
lieved the selection was a toss-up
between the Senator and Attorney
General Jackson.
In some quarters, it was assumed
that if Senator Byrnes were to be
appointed, the nomination would be
held up until after Mr.. Roosevelt s
request for $1,000, 100000 to carry
out the British-aid rpogram is acted
upon. Senator ByrneS was active in
the Senate fight for the British aid
measure, and is expected to be one
of the floor managers for the ap-
preparation bill.
1t was reported authoritatively
that Mr.. Roosevelt never has dis
cussed the court appointment with
Senator Byrnes himself. Several
Democratic Senators, including Ma
jority Leader Barkley and Senators
Harrison of Mississippi and Glass of
Virginia, have urged the President
to nominate the South Carolinian.

LONDON, March 15.-Britain
struck hard at invasion bases" on
the continent and girded defensive

frankly discussed possibility that axis
moves in the Balkans might be a
feint diverting attention from blow

Mindful of Adolf Hitlers dramatic
moves timed for mid-March, the
British sent the Royal Air Force
roaring away for attacks on bases
from France to Norway and drove
new blows at Germany IN a fresh
operation of active defense"
British sources, silent as TO Bal

Newspapers hammered the British

Alexander, First Lord of the Ad-

Pilots returning from the Friday

great fires Illuminating their targets
at Gelsenkirchen, Dusseldorf and
Rotterdam. One said that on a
flight deep into the Ruhr he saw a
fire 100 miles away, where oil tanks
at Rotterdam were in flames.
Oil Plants Target.
At Gelsenkirchen synthetic oil
plants were the principal target, the
Air Ministry news service said. The
night was clear and the moon full,
