ing was behind her-not a car
in sight. She let out a long,
weary sigh and relaxed her ach-
ing back against the car cushion.
She was exhausted. Her eyes
burned from the strain of the
nights wild drive. She was
thankful for the light of day.
I've got to get rid of this
car" she thought. maybe /
could hitch-hike the rest of the
way"
She approached the outer
edge of small town where ev-
erything seemed still asleep.
She turned down deserted
street and parked the car.
Crawling out stiffly, she did a
few stretching exercises and was
soon timber enough to walk
back to the highway. She walk
ed through town to the opposite
side and sat down in a protect
ed spot to rest.
She waited for a ride, letting
several cars 60 by unaccosted.
Finally she spotted big truck
coming down the road. She
stood up and moved to the side
Of the pavement, lifting. her
thumb as she had seen hitch
hikes do. She could not keep
the amused little grin from
her face. The truck slowed,
stopped. A burly fellow leaned
over and opened the cab door.
Hop in sister," he invited,
grinning.

never leaving the man whose
hands were extended in the air
above his head. There was no
mistaking the GOODNESS and dar-
ing in his eyes and Judith did
not once underestimate him as
she reached for the knife. She
knew il the man made move
her finger would squeeze the
trigger.
She worked hard at the ropes
with the knife in her left hand
and as the last thread was cut
from around Toms wrists, her
eyes flickered from the man
across the room. There was a
quick movement and Burke
made a dive for the pilot, his
feet still tied toether. The two
went down together.
Beat it, yelled Tom between
blows, as he rolled over and
over on the floor with his ad-
versary. Get away from here. =
But Judith hesitated, watch
ing for chance to use her gun.
Tom spoke once more.
Get to San Diego" he order
ed hoarsely. Go on, judy"
She left and ran quickly to
the car. She did not look back
but drove furiously down the
road, hoping it would lead her
toward her destination. She
would not let herself think of
Tom fighting back there in the
cabin with that man. IL the
plans had not been in her pos
session. she would have stayed.
But she not only had duty to
her company, she now had one
to her government.
Before long. she struck high
way, and breathed little easier.
Speed was the thing she needed
and the car seemed TO have
plenty of it.
Il wonder how much gas this
car has in ito" she asked herself
and switched on the dash light
A feeling of horror envelopcd
her-the tank was nearly empty.

She pulled the big car into the
drive and honked. She kept on
honking until she woke the man
who was sleeping in the rear of
his station. He came out, rub
bling his eyes and grumbling
loudly.
Il amt OPEN" he announced.
I'm sorry TO disturb you but

told him earnestly and his eyes

mood changing instantly. AL

the pump.
Fill it up she instructed,
land please hurry"
AS she sat there, two cars
whizzed by and each time her
heart came into her throat, for
fear they might be her pursuers.
The man put the cap on the
tank and she handed him ten
dollar bill. He went in after the
change and while ne was gone a
car drove in behind her and
stopped.
A man said: "Why--thats

That was all Judith needed

bad enough. But when some

In a moment, she saw the
headlights of the other car
swing onto the highway. After
that, she never looked up from
the road in front of her as the
speedomcter lowered over and
above the 90 mark. She quickly
passed the two cars in front Of

A faint light burned in the dis
lance and she slowed the ear.
AS she drew nearer, a shack
took shape and from its window
came the light she had seen. She
stopped the car some yards from
the house and got out, the small
gun gripped tightly in her right
hand. Trembling a little, she
moved silently forward to look
in at the window. She felt sure
she would find Tom Burke held
a captive inside.
BY standing on her toes and
craning her neck, Judith could
see in. Burke was tied hand and
foot, sitting on box that faced
the window. Moving TO the other
side of the opening, she could see
there was only one man guard
ing the prisoner, the co-pilot.
The two were just sitting there.
Judith let her face be framed
in the window, hoping Tom
would see her. He did. But on
ly a slight flicker of his dark
eyes gave hint to her presence.
He turned his head and spoke
to the pilot and she knew il was
TO keep the mans attention so
he would not discover her.
She crept to the door, the gun
ready for action, her heart ham,
mering against her ribs. On the
threshold, she poised for action,
Put up your hands,, she told
the pilot firmly. There was not
a tremor in her voice though her
knees shook violently and threat
ened to give way.
The man whirled. reaching up
ward with his arms as he did so.
They stared at each other.

Rate Accelerated

Kanzler pointed out that the
sales figures necessarily include
some Implications. because one
company may sell to another,
but they long have been ac-
cepted by the public as one
means of measuring production:
Thus they afford a basis OF
comparison and a yardstick by
which may be judged the
progress of conversion by auto
motive companies to war pro-
duction.
This rate will be greatly ac-
CELEBRATED as the difficult and
intricate jobs of re-tooling are
being completed and the prod
ucts really start coming off the
production lines," Kanzler stated.
MANY of the largest projects,
while under way, are still only
in the pilot stages. After the
first war material comes off
these lines and satisfies inspec-
tion, IL still takes some little
time to get quantity to flow
through these lines in produc-
tion."
The automot o i've industry
turned out about one billion dol
lars worth of war goods in
1941. There was sharp upturn
in orders placed soon after Pearl

Auto
War Goods Output
Shows Rapid Rise
During February
BY SILER FREEMAN

Reports from $50 companies,
operating about 600 plants and
representing 81 per cent of the
automotive industry, based on
labor, show these companies
were committed in February
TO the production OF war goods
at the rate of more than
$4,000, 100000 worth a year
and. in that same month had
reached a rate 22is per cent
of that goal.
This form of report now has
been perfected by the WPB
Automotive branch. in conjunc-
tion with DR.. Stacy Mays WPB
division of Research and Sta
tistics, and within 10 days
figures will be available 10 show
the March progress of these
same companies, said Ernest
Kanzler, chief of the Auto
motive branch.
The February production OF
these companies was S266, ,OOO,-
600, which is at the rate OF
more than $1,000, 100000 a year.
These figures are based on
sales, as reported by seven
automobile manufacturers. in
cluding the Big Three" 25
truck manufacturers and 14S
parts manufacturers.

80 Pct. Over Peak

Kanzler pointed out that In
February the war production, as
measured by sales, by the 1S0
companies, was nearly u per
cent Of the total war goods
turned out by the entire auto
motive industry in 194l. show
ing the accelerated rate of con-
version even at that early stage.
Although the total production,
as measured by sales. of the
automotive industry was around
six billion dollars in 1941, in
Guiding one billion in war goods.
the peak month was $500, ,500,-
900, which is at the rate Of bet
ter than nine and one-half billion
dollars annually. Thus the Feb
ruary war production was 53
per cent of the average monthly
total production Of 1871 and
1873 per cent of the peak 1941
month.
Value added" figures prob
ably afford a truer criterion OF
war work done in automotive
plants, although they are more
generally used by statisticians
and production men than the
general public. Kanzler stated.
"Value added represents work
actually done in each of the
plants reporting. The figure is
reached by subtracting from the
total sales the costs Of raw
materials and any parts sup
piled by subcontractors or other
manufacturers
