His accusations took on a banter

libby had the answer TO that. but
how could she give it? She could
not say, II cannot be friends with

felt he could be friendly with more
than one girl II was hardly up to
libby to tell him he couldn't.
There's no reason why we can't

she said it in such a way that he
would know that they could not be
anything more. She knew 1t was a
dangerous admission, for hadn't he
told her as plainly that the time
might come when he would want
more than friendship? He had said
1t was too soon for more than that.
She knew that he did not know yet
himself how much more than
friendship he might find he want
ed OF her. And libby found now
that she wanted to be friends with
him. Yes, whether Steena liked II
or not. He had been so very kind TO
her, although that was not the only
reason. She admired him immense

ing human, she was not unaware
Of the compliment he paid in seek
ing her friendship. Being feminine,
she could not help being pleased,

He said, very much as Tommy
had to Steena, 1T is, then. an
agreement. We are friends-for the

He held out his hand. libby gave

young doctor OF yours still there ?"
Wayne intended to get this young
man placed, much as Tommy had
endeavored to do the same with
him, without any preambling. He
had decided that the reason libby
had refused so bluntly that evening
to take a ride with him was be-
cause she had thought the doctor
might put in an appearance. Wayne
knew, from her surprise and relief
when he had, that she had not been
sure. He had gathered that they
were friends of long standing from
the same small midwest town.
Was there anything more between
them? He meant to get this set

YES. Tommy was still there.
Should she tell him that Steena
had been there also? Before she
could, had she decided to do so, he
asked her another direct question.
Are you engaged to this young
man. my dear?" In spite of its d.

that one could not take oftense.

As Jap Propagandists

Men Indicted Here

Three American writer's were held
under 5000 bond today a. japanese
propagandists following indictments
in District Court yesterday on
charges Of violating the Foreign
Agents Registration Act. Three jap
anese also were indicted. but two
have left the country and the third
is in q detention camp,
The Americans accused are Ralph
Townsend of Lake Geneva, Wis,
former newspaper editor and con-
tributor to Scribner's Commentator,
and David Warren Ryder and
Frederick Vincent Williams, San
Francisco publicity men. Unable to
post the required 5000 bond, Mr..
Townsend was jailed in Milwaukee,
according to the Associated Press.
His name previously has figured in
the Nazi propaganda investigation
conducted by the Justice Depart
ment.
The Japanese accused are Tsu-
tomu ObanA, former secretary Of the
Japanese Chamber of Commerce in
San Francisco, now in a detention
camp, and K. Takahashi and S.
Takeuchi, both OF whom left this
country before the war. The former
was manager Of NYK, the Japanese
Steamship Line, in San Francisco,
and the latter, manager Of Nit
subishi Co., there.
The indictment charges that the
propaganda activities centered in
the Japanese Committee on Trade
and Information which was dis
banded in August, 1910, after three
years existence.
Ryder Posts Bond.
Mr.. Ryder appeared before the
United States Commissioner in San
Francisco late yesterday and posted

and Grounds Committee at the
hearing. The committee room was
jammed to overflowing with Federal
and District officials. Arrangements
were made to hold the afternoon
session in the more spacious House
caucus room.
Before Mr.. Reynolds concluded
his testimony, Representative Ran
dolph asked him if he had any OBJ
lection to the use of part of the
Soldiers Home reservation for a
temporary Federal Office building.
Not at ALL" Mr.. Reynolds replied.
He explained, that a recent act Of
Congress providing SIS, ,0O0, 900 for
additional temporary ONCE buildings
in Washington authorized use Of the
Soldiers Home property if officials
of the institution agreed. The ON
cials, however, he declared, turned
him down cold"
And I was very much amazed" 4"
he added.
Suggests Use Of Country Clubs.
Representative Wilson, Republi-
can, of Indiana suggested that the
Government take over buildings not
essential to wartime activity, such as
country clubs, and that wives OF
Federal employees be urged to take
jobs to save housing overcrowding
by cutting down on the importation
Of war workers.
Baird Snyder. acting administra-
tor of the Federal Works Agency,
told the committee there is no ques-
ton that the need for additional
housing facilities is imperative" and
that his agency would cooperate in
providing the accommodations when
necessary funds become available.
Chairman Lanham introduced the
two housing bills yesterday because
he wished both to receive considera-
ton at the hearings. One was sug-
gested by Defense Housing Co-ordi-
nator Charles F. Palmer, and the
other was drafted by the chairman
and two of his committeeman, Rep
resentatives Bell, Democrat, OF
Missouri and Holmes. Republican,
of Massachusetts,. The latter is
more specific in wording, especially
with regard to types of defense
public works" to be erected here.

public works may be supplied not
only in the District but in nearby
areas of Maryland and Virginia, as

there must always be a nucleus of
an army Of Government workers in
Washington, and in peacetime 1t
totals at least 100000. For that rea-
son, he emphasized, 1t is not possible
to transfer more than $4,000 at this
time to make way for Government
defense employees.
The public buildings commissioner
further told the committee the $50
000, 900 authorized to be appropriated
in each of the two defense housing
bills it has under consideration would
only provide housing facilities for
$4,000 to $4,000 Government work.
erS.
Under those conditions he de-
clared, $4,000, 900 is about the alb
solute minimum. I venture the
! thought that within three months q
request will be made for an equal
amount, and I doubt then whether
that would be enough"
Representative McGregor, Demo-
crat, of Ohio asked If he would
recommend greater amount at this
time.
NO" came the reply. There is
physical problem in spending $50,-
o0o, ,o00."
Girls Dormitory Urged.
Mr.. Reynolds said he strongly"
recommended that as soon as the
s50, 900 900 for emergency housing
becomes available that temporary
structures be erected quickly. One
of the most urgent needs, he de-
clared, is a dormitory near Union
Station for the accommodation Of at
least 200 girls Such a place, he ex-
planned would be temporary haven
for girl warworkers coming to Wash
ington
Chairman Lanham inquired if the
vast East Potomac Park area in the
vicinity of Hams Point could be used
as site for temporary homes. Mr..
Reynolds said it could, but sdded:
There may be certain military
reasons for not going there. Fur
thermore Hains Point is subject to
floods" - -
Mr.. Reynolds estimated it would
cost $150,000, 900 to provide homes
and public works for 40,600 addi-
tional war workers, at least $10,-
000, 900 of which would have to be
spent for public works not directly
connected with the housing accom-
modations. For instance, he men
toned specifically:
Seventeen new schools, flve of
which would be senior high schools,
three hospitals and clinics, and ex-
tensions to the water, sewer and IRE
alarm systems, additional gas and
electric utilities, more police and
fire stations and garbage disposal
plants.
Emergency Needs Cited.
Nov We come to the question Of
how much is needed for the present
emergency" testified Mr.. Reynolds
