1t will be good to see Harry

again in the type of picture
which brought him his greatest
success. Such film is Double
Trouble. the hilarious Mono
gram comedy which opens at the
Macomb theatre next Friday
night for a three day engage

The picture follows the adj

He jerked the truck to the mid
die of the road. There was a
screeching of tires as the speed
ing car sWerved into the ditch
and hit the embankment.
Without backward glance,
Harry put the accelerator to the
floor and sped on.

satisfaction. "Nobody's going to

don't want to-not while I'm

AS they rolled on down the
highway, Judith realized she
must change her course. Harry
had become friend-a good
friend-in these few short
hours, and as long as she was
with him, his life was in danger.
The truck would be easy to fol-
low, and her pursuers would
show up again, she was sure Of
that. And this time they would
use their guns.
She reached in her purse for a
handkerchief, and her fingers
touched a small package. The
sleeping pills! A plan began
TO materialiZe.
About shutdown, Harry pulled
into a dumpy looking tourist
camp and stopped.

When Harry returned with a
key and showed her the cabin,
she assumed false cheerfuiness.
If you'll get some groceries
from the woman in there, Harry,
I'll cook us nice meal. I'm
swfully hungry. Some coffee,
and steak and bread she sug-
gested.
Say, that'll be swell" he said.
He went back to the store, and
returned soon, laden with the
groceries. While Judith pre-
pared the meal, he sat watching
her with quizzical eyes.
IL just can't figure you out,
he said once.

Don't try to, Harry" she an
ewered. Everything will be all
right now, I'm sure. Thanks to
you,' she added.
When he went in to wash up,
Judith opened her purse quickly
and seized the sleeping medicine.
Into his coffee she put two dos
es. That ought to do the
trick" she decided.
Two spoons or one of sugar,
Harry" she called to him.

swered, coming back into the
room. You're sure a swell girl

so homelike."

your kindness today" she said.

it's hot and I'll finish frying the
steak. 7 never drink coffee at
night. 1t keeps me awake
Judith took as long as she
could TO finish the rest of the
meal and put it on the table.
When she finally sat down, Har-
ry was stupid and drowsy, yawn-
ing with every breath. He
mumbled something about taking
a short nap and dropped his
head onto the table. She waited
a moment, then slipped quietly
from her chair. She put on her
hat, took two $40 bills from her
purse and stuffed them into his
shirt pocket where she had seen
him put the truck keys.
Thanks a lot, Harry" she
whispered, staring at him mo-
ment. It's goodbye now. To-
morrow you can figure me out"
She tiptoed out the door. No
one was around the other cab
ms as she made her way TO the
back. 1t was quite dark. She
paused behind the last shack IN
the row as she saw car lights
gull into the camp.
A man said: There's the
truck all right. well get a
cabin next TO it,
Judith's heart stood still as
she recognized Heavy's voice.

He was a swell guy, she de-

Without his help, she would

now. Suddenly she snapped to

there?" She pulled her cigarets
out and offered him one.
Thanks" he said, and struck
match for them before he an
swered. I'VE ought to be in the
city tomorrow before noon.'
AT noon they stopped at a
roadside cafe. Judith was raw
enously hungry. She had not
eaten since last night when the
plane stopped. She ate greedily,
her head bent over the plate.
/ Thus she did not see the two
men enter the cafe and sit down
at the other end of the lunch
counter.
She can't be far away" said
one of the men, and Judith stop
ped eating, her fork poised in
mid-air. The man had spoken
with a too-familiar accent.
She peered around at her
new-found friend cautiously.
Instantly, she recognized Heavy
and the foreigner, Karl. Her ap-
petite vanished. She reached in
her purse for pencil and pap
/ er, wrote note and slipped It
TO the truck driver at her side.
Get me out of here quietly.
Hurry
He read it and looked at her
sharply. She. inclined her head
toward the other men, and he
saw the fear in her eyes. He
quickly put some coins on the
counter and stood up, keeping
between her and the men until
they reached the door. From
there Judith threw caution aside
and darted for the truck. He
took his place under the wheel
and off they rolled. Then he
eyed her suspiciously.

so may be held to be unpreju-
diced. He has a scholarly &C
quaintance with Russian and
German military literature.
Now the first question to ask
Is: How about this much herald
ed Nail spring offensive? And
the answer is: Up to date there
amt none. A Nazi spring Often
sive is now a term with certain
connotations, viz: Holland,
Belgium, France, Dunkerque.
194l-Terriflc air offensive on
the British Isles; the Balkans,
and Russia to the gates of Lenin-
grad and to Smolensk, with the
obvious intention to conquer
Moscow.
Capitals the Detectives.
Characteristic of each of them:
To conquer the capitals Of the
enemy. Each grandiose; its aim
definitive.
And now, 1912. End of May.
Perfect fighting weather. Where
is the German offensive?
Moscow? London? Or even
Leningrad? Sevastopol?
Hitherto the Germans always
have conquered the fringes by
getting the center. This time the
offensive Is against Kerch.
Now, on the map the military
center of Russia is still Moscow.
The Crimea is on the fringes.
And the center Of the Crimea is
not Kerch. 1t is Sevastopol, for
whose possession many a war
has been fought. The Nazis are
fighting on the fringes. This is
new, and this is weakness.
The German explanation Is:
Kerch Is the way to the eau
casus. The Caucasus is oil. But
hitherto the Germans have not
fought for oil or for any other
specific economic aim. They
have fought to destroy the ma
tons and armies that controlled
and protected the economic
booty Now they are fighting
directly for the economic booty.
This is military repression.
And by it they confess their eco
nomic weakness. They need
something-armies or no armies.
But Is Kerch the key to the
Caucasus?
Narrow Military Path.
The Caucasus Is a highly for
titled region that can only be
conquered by huge armies. To
complete this conquest one needs
a secure base large enough to
gather thereon all that is needed,
and to secure communication
lines.

There has come from him
nothing but hostility. And now his

Anguished at Suggestion.
This state of affairs is deeply de-
pressing to those who believe fail

eral finances weakens the war ef-
fort and menaces national sta

working along lines suggested by
the President, himself, should now
be assailed by the Presidents

who do not know the facts. To
those who do. however, the rea-
sons are clear
Basic among them Is the deter

OF these may be curtailed, but 9TH

banded. In face Of this, the Econ

Such a sacrifice, the Russians
say, would help win the battle

This strategy has been under

American naval officers heaved
a sigh OF relief when 1t became
known that the long line Of
transports laden with the most
precious cargo warships ever
conveyed - American soldiers
had reached Ireland safely.
Unlike the force which was sent
to Iceland, and even the first ex-
peditionary force to Ireland, this
convoy was subjected to repeated
attacks by Nazi submarine packs.
Although the secret Of this con-
voy's departure-the third to go
to Europe in the last year-was
better kept than On previous oc-
casions, the Germans did find
out about it and attempted to in
tercept it despite its powerful
escort.

American battalions depends

charges which, despite evidence. no
one wants to stress. In period
such as this partisan support OF
the President is, of course, an obhga-
ton and a united nations es-
sential But a distinction must be
made between support OF his ad-
ministration in every war measure
and support OF the indefensible do
nestle things which, using the war
as a screen, are being done at home.
Concurrence in these is neither pa
triotic nor wise; quite the reverse.
An example was given a few days
ago in the attack on House and
Senate members who are leading
the fight to reduce non-war govern
mental expenditures. 1t first came
with some degree Of restraint from
politicians close to the White House.
Immediately the attack was ex-
banded and elaborated in various
radical organs which reflect the
New Deal view. These cast re-
straint aside and Senators Carter
Glass, Walter George, Kenneth NC
Kellar and Harry Byrd, along with
Representatives Woodrum. Taber
Doughton and others, were de-
nounced as "wreckers" and wan
dals," described as vicious. mean
and selfish men" who are, 1t Is IN
ferred. trying to lose the war.
Safety Demands Economy.
The men against whom these
allegations are made can afford to
ignore them-and do. Except that
they come from persons and papers
regarded as administration spokes-
men, they would not be worth
noticing at all. But the White
House link provides sound reason
for considering this attack part OF
administration political policy, Mt
ting in with the unrebuked speech
of Attorney General Biddle's, in
which he insisted that 1t was neces-
sary to fight on the New Deal polit-
ical front at home as we'll as against
our enemies abroad. Incidentally
some OF those who attended the
small dinner at which Mr.. Biddle
extolled New Deal politics are most
active in the present effort to dis
parage the economy leaders.
The situation has reached a stage
where it seems worth while to state
the facts again. The first fact Is
that, excepting the politicians and
the jobholders, everybody agrees the
national safety demands that nom
war expenses be "cut to the bone.
Mr.. Roosevelt urged this II months
ago. All the higher fiscal officials
echoed his recommendations. Con-
gress, believing he meant 1t, last
year created Joint Economy Com
mittee, which, after months Of work,
made a report recommending cuts
totaling over $1,000 100000. Secre-
tary Morgenthau signed this report
The New Deal spokesman say he
did so with reservations, but the
only reservation he made at the
time was that the committee had
not gone far enough. Instead OF
one billion, he thought two billion
should be cut out.
Nothing But Hostility.
Considering the Presidents own
! recommendations, the Morgenthau
