Normandie Fire Warning:
Track Down Alien Spies!
BY DOROTHY THOMPSON

IRON 1893 TO 1889 three
French liners caught fire in
their various docks and harborS.
All these cataStrophes were
suspected as sabotage.
Now the Normandie has
burned
And this is almost certainly
sabotage, however much the au-
thoritlcS choose to play it down.
Victims IN the Roosevelt Hos
pltal are convinced it was.
They said fires broke out all
over the place at one time.
They also testify that inSpcc-
tion had been casual that no
one on the ship had been
searched for that which he
might have been bringing on
board in his pockets and that
numerous wOrkmen Of German
and Italian origin had been en-
plOyed
Furthermore, this Will he one

THE whole world is honey
i Combed with a gigantic
conspiracy, which is an integral
part of the AXIS war
This conspiracy Is unlike any,
thing that was organized IN the
last war.
II does not consist merely Of
the usual spies and agents. but

ClSt groups

johnson Says Shortage
Of Nurses a Problem
BY HUGH =. JOHNSON

thousands OF women VINO
want TO help in the war reach
out TO do some real and ncces-
sary work instead of devoting
themselves to OCD and similar
wartime versions of Harry Hop
kins' WPA?
Our shortage of nurses is get
ting to be a problem and that of
doctors threatens to be a worse
one.
As our army expands it will
need its full quota of doctors and
all the competent trained and
registered nurses there seems to
be any prospect of getting.
Ii has already taken many.
You can't make a nurse with
the required professional attain
mcntS in less than two and pre-.
icrably three years, 1t doesn't
require any mathematical genius
10 figure out the arithmetic OF
that.
1T Is a potential explosion like

If YOU are going TO do some

months from now. you have got
to begin to do il now. Then,
it will be forever too late.
No. YOU can't make a COM
petent nurse in SIX months, but
experts in supervising nurses

MR. NELSON has also taken long step toward the
wi fundamental American way of doing big things by
abolishng the Office of Production Management
This Office of Production Management (OPM)
stumbling its feet because of nterminabe red
tape-and poitics-and ignorance-and stupidity.
Donald NJ Nelson is himself executive vice president
and chairman of the executive committee of the Sears
Roebuck Corporation He is also executive in other
large industrial corporations.
All of which adds up this:
THE MEN WHO MADE THE COUNTRY ARE
THE MEN WHO WILL SAVE 1T.
1t is the organizing and adventurous brains OF our
pioneers and big business who have made this ma
ton what it is.
Our strength is founded on PRACTICAL MINDS.
In times of peace the American industriasts, the
REALIZERS of the American way, bulied, kicked
around and generally tagged for villains by the poll
tcans and professional demogogues.
But when the country goes to for its very life,
doing today Is the rejected stone of the cdice
of big business that becomes the keystone of It's arch
WHAT black prospect there would be for all Amer
w leans today if had not the Nelson's, the Iiarrl-
sons the Knowlsons, the Bats the MacKeachies and
the Kanzlers to call on!
Today production production management and hard
hitting executives the greatest need of the hour
WE HAVE THEM
Without them, should betray our soldiers and
sailors to the enemy,
ALL depends on PRODUCTION and steel Jawed
who will COMMAND our industries and our labor
Now we have the fighters the producers and the
materials .,.,....,,.,
TON of INDUSTRIAL AUTHORITY and military, air
and naval power without which this war cannot be won
This is an epical war-and it will be won ultimately
by minds that conceive and act epica scale
The greatest epic Of the West is the INDUSTRIAL

"Say, Paris, you and / are
mighty near in the same fix!
Did you ever think of that?'
How do you mean?"
"When your grandma dies
you'll be all by yourself in the
world, too"
Paris head went down and
he slid his hands deeper into
his pockets.
Drake continued more cheer
fully. "I'll have forty thousand
dollars when I'm twenty-one.' .
Twill you, sure enough?"
81 guess you'll have more'n
that, won't you, when your
grandma dies?"
II don't know. l never thought

Rhodes say your place out there
was worth a lot of money"
How did you know about
it,"
"Oh, / don't know. Everybody
knows everything about every
body's business in this town.
We'll, / don't"
You're a peculiar kind of a
kid, anyhow, Paris"
How, Drake? l wish you'd
tell me-"
IL don't know, just peculiar
| like you all right, though. You
know that" This was unusual
from Drake.
"Soon's l get my m oney !
think I'll buy an interest in
something or other and work
hard, and in couple of years
get married"
Paris was stunned for a mo-
ment. Getting arr ID was
something he never had thought
about. He looked respectfully al
Drake.
"Sure enough, Drake"
Yep. Got the girl picked out,
too"
who? Cassie Tower"
Lord, no. Her old man won't

I'll tell you, but keep this to
yourself"

"You may 60 out this way. IT
you follow the drive, you'll
come out on Cherry Street"
Paris could not sleep that
night. He was more deeply ex-
cited than he had eve. been in
his life. For the first time there
were intimations of authentic
communication b etwe cen his
world - which had been until
this very day the world of chill
dren - and the adult world
which had always moved a lit
tie mysteriously either to the
side or above him.
A door was opening, and he
was unbearably impatient to
pass through.
In the months that followed
he saw very little of Drake. His
work absorbed him.
In midwinter brakes Uncle
Rhodes died, and his aunt had
a stroke shortly afterward.
Plans were being made to close
the house and 10 remove Mrs.
Livingstone to q sanitarium.
What are you going to do?"
Paris asked when Drake told
him about it.
Drake looked a little forlorn
under a thin bravado.
Il guess they'll send me to
live at Mrs. Searcys boarding
house"
Haven't you got any kin
folks?"
Yes, / guess SO. / bet none
of them would want me around
though. Say, it will feel pretty
funny not to have home any
more. i expect I'll m k e it
though"
Paris couldn't think of any
thing to say. Today, faced with
the imminence of new kind of
life, Drake looked much older
than Paris. The thick lashes
shadowing his dark gray eyes,
his overfull lips, and his look of
extreme vitality still gave him
an air of strength and sensual
ity almost animal But 1t was
an attractive air. He seemed
much more open and straight
forward than Paris whose play
of expression was subtler, and
more fleeing.

clouds was coming up, and a
strong wind poured over the
rim of the western rise toward
the prairies.
A recollection shot through
him like q physical pain. Renee,
shabby and little, and something
else that squeezed his chest at
the thought of her.
He turned around and walked
backwards fine drive of sleet
had begun and it stung his face
like fire she was some
where - right now. She was
talking, or helping her mother,
or laughing - would she be
laughing, maybe? Could she be
somewhere laughing while he
was thinking SO hard about her,
and remembering, and feeling
so terrible? He tried hard to
separate the many mental pic
lures of her - to see her as she
stood in the moonlight that
night of his birthday supper, and
said: I'D like to be your girl. l
guess you're my sweetheart,
too" She was such a baby. That
was when he was fourteen. She
was - he stopped, startled by
a new thought. Why! He was
seventeen now, and - Renee
was sixteen! That meant she was
a big girl - growing up. tall,
maybe, like Cassandra. He knew
she thought about him just as
he thought abou. her Z.
Let's be sweethearts forever,
Renee, you and me all
right cross Your heart!

No-no-no: she wouldn't for
get, she couldn't!
Renee! What was he to do
about it? He'd have to find her
someday. And then - brakes
startling phrase crossed his
mind. And then-why then, he
might get married. Would he
ever find her? He was sure
Drake could help him when the
time came. Drake was adventur-
Gus and practical.
AS he edged up the long slip
perry terrace steps he thought of
brakes disquieting re m a r X:
You and I are mighty near in
the same fix"
This solid house and these
secure acres of ground - they
could pass away and belong to
someone else. Drake had so cas-
ually said: when the place is
Sold" 1t would be his when his
grandmother died. Maybe he'd
just keep it and try to run II as
she did. But then he wouldn't
be able to be q doctor, and he
had to be a doctor. She wanted
him to be, and of course he
would do as she wished.
"Gee!" he muttered. II won-
der what's going to become of
me-"

"She's quite wonderful" Par

nodded gravely. Then he began
to talk. Paris could not follow
all of it, but he listened as he
had never listened before. Part
of the time he forgot to think OF
what the Doctor was actually
saying in the brilliant and be-
wildering play of words. Some
of it sounded a good deal like
poetry.
Paris felt enormously i'm
