 German and Italian reports said British planes had bombed TehraA and other towns. Berlin and RomG reported also . Russian raid cs l Tahrix.)

Kearny. N. J., Aug. 26-(UP)-- The Federal Shipbuilding and Dry dock company, closed by strike since Aug. 2 and seized by the navy on President Roosevelt's orders, re- sumed full operations today with Admiral H. G. Bowen, technic al aide to Secretary of the Navy Frank Knox, in charge.
 Gates were thrown open to the returning workers at 7:30 3. m. and a full shift was apparently waiting to go to work.
 There were several loud blasts of the plant whistle and a few sec- onds later a huge crane could be seen moving on the ways. It was estimated that most of the regular day. shift of 10000 was inside the plant. Approximately 3,000 other men seeking jobs were lined up outside the fence awaiting inter views.
 The Industrial Union of Marine and Shipbuilding Workers (CIO) had called off its strike without getting any assurance that she navy would grant the "mainten- ance of membership" clause the pri- vate owners had refused to grant. This clause would compel the con- pany to fire workers who did not maintain good standing in the union.
 The company's president, L. H. Korndorff, sent g letter to Knox last night saying the owners were ready to turn over to the govern ment all the physical assets or the entire capital stock of the com pany with the understanding that lust compensation would be deter mined later by agreement or arbi- tration.

 AS sch looked at him, April had the impression that Kent wore an expression, almost of relief.
 April shifted gears, started the motor. "I'll hurry along" she said. "Therell be things to be done at home. I'm sorry, Kent, 1t had to turn out this way"
 In another instant the roadster would shoot down the hill again. turning Its back on Kent and the gloomy old house, this time for all time.
 Don't go yet" Kent said.
 There's something else you wanted to say?"
 You might tell Ann when you write that I want her to be happy. And also, that as long as there'll be no wedding, I'm returning to camp.
 "Yes, I'll tell her and good luck, Kent"
 Thanks and to you, April You deserve the best. I had you all wrong, April, right from the first when called you the Gilt terbug."
 Suddenly, April switched off the throbbing engine. Kent Carter" she said, we're talking here like strangers, making up polite con- versation. don't want your good luck! I don't want you to say you were sorry or that you had me all wrong!"
 The April storm was rising in her at last. She began to pound her hands on the steering wheel. Kent reached over and in some way was beside her.
 What do you want?" he asked
 "You! You, of course! Last night when told Hal Parks could never marry him, he said that with some people love might be slow blooming, but with me 1t was like lightning that struck once and fast. Don't you see, Kent? It struck me that night l met you at the train"
 "April-April, darling!"
 
 He kissed her recklessly, dizzily, and right in the full view of the gingerbread Garter house where no doubt the gingery old great-aunt could see.
 Then he eyed the April of the blue eyes and the daffodil curls with certain wondering curiosity. Some day. he said, you can tell me the whole story from be- gining to end'
