 Harold ('T Don't Mean to Be Un- demOcratlc'') Ross, editor of The New Yorker mag, appealed to Gov. Hurley of Connecticut to keep New Workers from the outskirts of his country home The substance of Ross squawk was that he didn't care to live among New Workers Ross denied to the New York Times that he has any prejudice against Harlemites and BrCnxites (whom he expressly namedD but objected to people in large numbers Well, they won't be so numerous this year. Lots of Bronx and Harlem men can't get away from army camps long enough to annoy him They are busy protecting the freedom of Connecticut estate owners While our general staff is worried about Invasion of Alaska by the Japanese --the editor of the New Yorker is worried about the invasion of Con- .necticut by Americans.

 It happened at the White House recently, and the correspondents are still tee-heeing about it An edi- tor, who wasn't always too friendly to the administration, managed to get a chat with F. D.

 That's simple" said MT. Roose- welt, "my secretary is very ef- ficient at spotting bores. And when she thinks one is overstaying she manages to come in and get me away on some plausible pretext."
 At that moment, Miss Fully, the attractive Girl Friday, poked in her head and said: "Mr. Hull has been waiting half an hour"
 The late Percy Hammond, one of the dramatic critics every actor re- spected, always called the other cri- tics "Aisle Actors" One pre- miere he walked out on the show in the middle of Act III As Hammond walked slowly up the aisle he put on his hat "Just look at that" groaned first-night- CT, "only a critic would put on his hat!"

HUNTER UNDER SUSPICION
 CHAPTER VIII
HENRY


 When Hunter Dent came to him. Helf he was lying on a cot. The rough wool blanket was not woven an any of the local perfume or cos anetic plants. The walls were bleak and narrow. There was a steady pour of rain outside. Hunter ached in various parts of his body. The chief local pain was in his head: He groped at 1t tentatively, trying hard to remember. He seemed to Do crudely but competently band aged. He tried to- sit up. He did not like the color of the night about him. It wasn't exactly rural dark ness, and 1t was not the bright lights of Middleton's social life.
 It came to Hunter slowly that he Was in jail. He sat up. He got to un- steady legs and crossed the floor. He was in cell, all right. He was In Jail. He remembered more and more, how he had opened the safe to make sure about the money; how he had been set on by rascals lurking in his office. It must have been Neal Frazier, and the rest of Ehem, after knocking him out, had Drought him to town and lodged lhinn here.
 "A brown Negro, evidently the night clerk of this public hostelry, lcame at his wild howlS. T is Shady" the colored man stated, not without deference. You is A6r. Hunter Dent, isn't you?" Unlock this door and let me out of here2"
 < T couldn't do dat, MT. Dent. Ehe'6 Anderson he say if you comes to and is hurting to look after you, but alongside of dat 1s to keep you locked up. Is you hurting nowhurs, MT. Dent?"
 NO use venting his wrath on the jailor, who was merely doing his duty. "Nowhurs." he growled. Hunter went back, lay down, tried hard to relax. He grew quiet after Q while and fell asleep. It was broad day and still raining when he walked. He felt refreshed. But gloom quickly settled back on him. He had breakfast, and Sheriff An- derscn then took him to his office.
 Frazier, and the other boys, fetched you in late last night, Dent"
 Sweet of ern," Dent grumbled. What am charged with?"
 Robbery, murder, resisting ar rest, and few things like that. What have you to say for your &&kfY fT decline to talk, Sheriff. Mant a lawyer"
 T reckon that's your constitu- pnal right. But let's get down
 this matter. I'm frankly pug s1ed Those boys out there at Bal- 8aTa'ss have e pretty good case

said.
 Well, what started out to be a lark - to put 1t mildly - got down to something deadly earnest. You had to do some shooting. You had to make your getaway in your car. We know the car was parked not far from the scene. Let me show you" He produced two bro- mide enlargements. This is a print of the tread of the car in the road at the back of the estate. Here is a picture of the tread of your car. See? The same, eh? You did admit you are the only one with a key to that iron gate; that the car was yours. Miss Bal lard heard you, so did the con- stable out there. It is known that you were not in the place where you sleep nights that night. We have that on authority that can't be irnpeached. So you were ab- sent, you have grouch, you prob ably have the money. Come on now and tell me the truth, and let's work this out so 1t will be as easy on you as we can make 1t. I'm your friend, Dent"
 You told me that before"
 "All right, where Is the money?"
 T wish knew. How is Junior Ballard?"
 Barely alive"
 A car drew up in front of the jail. Strickland Ballard came in. He looked at the two men. Hello, Anderson.
 "E1owdy, MT. Ballard"
 Hello, Dent"
 Hunter barely nodded. Ballard asked, Could I talk to the young man privately, Sheriff?"
 Come back to his cell" Ander- son led the way, locked the two up. Ballard began to bluster.
 We have your number, Dent! Everything leads to one conclu- sion. You shrewdly staged a trick to discredit my folks. You may not have intended going as far as you did. It seems incredible you would stoop to robbery and mur- der. The chain of evidence is rap- idly forging around you. I am working with the authorities in every way possible. Much as I should regret seeing you go to prison or the chair, I nevertheless must put aside all personal feel ings in the interest of justice and human rights. Shudder a how I trusted my son and daughter to your care as if you were an older brother. I must say I am glad we discovered your true character before you had time to get thor oughly ingratiated into well - CT putting 1t bluntly, married into the family"
 The. bluster seemed to go quickly out of Ballard as Hunter sat there watching him, a cynical smile play Ing ~ his lp&

How is JuniorP Do the doc tors hold out any hope?"
 Ballard became more years than his 50; he shrank into a haunted, haggard man, whose conscience tormented him that he had not been wiser and better father. He slowly shook his head. "It will be two or three days before the crisis Until then we can only watch and pray"
 You'd better have been doing your watching and praying earIier,' Hunter said. When the harried man turne dto look at him, sensing Hun ter's deeper meaning, Hunter said, If you came here in the hope, or on the stray chance, that you would maybe shield your son in some way well, all IIhave to say is that you'd better start shuddering at my true character, for maybe when I get through telling all I know and a lot you don't know, justice and hu- man rights that you announce you reverence for will really get a serving!"
 Anderson came down the hall Telephone call for MT. Ballard. Call for Dent, too."

10 SERIAL STORY
 SPORTING BLOOD

1 Strick Ballard and he will be here to see you in 8 few minutes It seems as if you made certain threats against him. You and MT Ballard had row about some seed corn, and maybe fine walking horse-is that right?"
 T stand on my constitutional right not to answer questions un- til I have had a chance to consult my lawyer"
 Who is your lawyerP
 Tracy Hannings. Will you call him for me?"
 Anderson looked up the number and dialed 1t. Hunter Dent Is here with me, Hannings. This is Sheriff Anderson. He asks you to come over as quick as you can. Okay Thanks. He hung up, turned back to Hun- ter.
 '"Now, look here, Dent. You might as well come clean. We've gone over this whole business You're mixed in that stick-up Either you took part in 1t, or you were an accessory before the fact, or you are shielding the ones who did the trick. I'm your friend. I could treat you as a rascal and give you the third degree, and make you come clean. Maybe I'll do that yet, but only after I have given you every chance in the world.
 You listen carefully now while I reconstruct this whole business. There's pretty wild bunch of youngsters that gather out at Bal lard's country home. That red- head of Ballard's; the boy Temple, the bankers son; the twins; the girls that sing over the radio; Mrs. Ballard,s brother, and several others. Good deal of gambling goes on, too, eh?"
 T, don't keep up with them" " Hunter said.
 Sure, you do.- You know it, so do I: so do plenty of others. Drinking, gaming, dancing. Wild, yes; but nothing SO terrible, at that. War does things to young people. You can't raise 'em up to shoot each other and kick too much when they are willing to lose their shirts at strip poker. But getting back. You don't run with them, no; but now and then you watch, maybe, and pick up things. Now, it's my theory that the leak of money movement was through young Hank Temple. He works in his dads bank. He would know, perhaps make up the shipment, put it in a bag, give 1t to the mes- senger. You heard him say solne- thing indiscreet. All right. you got Q partner, perhaps two, and went after the thing. You and Ballard did have a row. didn't you71

right. The presence of three-star general
sometimes dampens the responsiveness OF
soldiers. 1t did not abash this corporal.
Il had definite purpose" he defended
himself. Under the conditions of the prob
lem, the enemy was readying an attack. We
we're supposed to get into position quickly 50
as to offer support to our forces.
II came up and laid my gun first, using all
my men because felt that under the terms
of the problem, it was more important to get
fire on the enemy quickly than to establish
communications with the other section. Once
my gun was ready to fire, sent runner to
contact the other section.
That corporal was confident of his own
ability and he wasn't afraid to explain his
action. In doing 50, he showed why he had
been selected as non-commissioned officer.
This confidence is what makes the American
soldier the best fighter in the world. It's the
human factor that may win battle even
though the men are outnumbered and not as
well-eQuipped as the enemy. It's the sort OF
confidence that made Corporal Alvin G. York
lead seven men in a charge on German
machine gun nest and come out alive with
four officers and 128 men as his prisoners.
In the task of building an army, our chief
asset is the intelligence, the i1epressible
cheerf,lness and the physical stamina of our
native stock. From this high-grade material,
the Army is selecting the best for non-com-
missioned officers.
These are the men who will carry our new
army to victory. For it's the sergeants, the
corporals, the men in the line who decide
battles. Generals only plan them.

Remember how Private Morelock led" his
men? Grant lied" his men too. The pattern
is the same If Private Grant is not sergeant
material. I'll miss my guess.
They Used Their HsaAs
6ARLY in the Carolina maneuvers, enemy"
troops broke through the lines Of the 1O9th
National Guard Infantry and captured
convoy of IS trucks and l8 men. Technical
Sergeant Evan Williams and Staff Sergeant
Angelo J. Son leaped from their places at the
first warning and escaped into the brush
The two sergeants didn't run back to report
their loss. Sergeant Williams had plan. They
trailed the convoy and saw where the cap
tured trucks were parked Then, when dark
ness came, they destroyed" the Is Army
trucks with dynamite they had seized from an
enemy demolition-charge dump. Then they
returned to their own command.
Compare the exploit of those two sergeants
to one reported in a brief communique from
the Philippines. Five enlisted men. fighting
with General Douglas MacArthurs troops,
were cut off from their regiment in battle.
They played dead" while surrounded by Jap
infantrymen; then, under cover of darkness,
made their way through the enemy lines back
to their own forces, doing considerable dam
age on the way The pattern is the same.
Last summer, accompanied Lieutenant
General Ben Lear to watch machine-gun
platoon take test that wound up the initial
13-week period of primary training. Following
the test, the instructing officer criticized one
of the corporals because he had put his

commanding the Third Army, and Lieutenant
General Ben Lear, commanding the Second
Army, are famous for their ability to under
stand their men. That ability first made itself
evident when they were non-commissioned
officers.
The Nazi army has been called the army
of sergeants." 1t was able to expand speedily
from the strength allowed by the Versailles
Treaty because every one of its 100000 men
was a trained non-commissioned officer. 1t
was simple to build huge new army around
this trained force of sergeants.
We have done very much the same thing
in our own army. Our Regular Army men have
