It'll take more than a bomb TO
blow up that old press. And our
linotype has gone through worse
than a little fire. The boys were
down as soon as the firemen
would let them in. We have
most of the mess cleaned up al
ready"
Penny looked over the dam
aged room critically. Desks and
counter were shattered splint-
ers. Burned papers soaked with
water and chemicals were piled
in a corner, ceiling high. She
wondered if the odor would
ever leave the building.
You can't work here today,
JIM" she observed.
I'VE don't have to-" he an
Swered cheerily. I'VE have a
real office now. The bank is 60
ing to let us use their confer
ence room. It's lucky thing
Castro didn't pick Thursday for
his little game. Well have plen-
ty of time to clean up before
we go to press"
Jim" Penny said, 81 know
I'll just be in your way today.
Do you mind If take the day
Off"
Il was just going to suggest
that myself" said Jim. Go out
and have good time. Well be
ready for work by tomorrow"
When Penny reached street
level, she noticed two men, APP
parently absorbed in converse
ton, at the opposite cornor.
They paid no attention to her.
They waited until she waved
TO the bus driver to stop. Then
they dropped their cigarets and
walked away. She knew they
would report to Castro that she
had left KirktoWn.
Penny stopped briefly at the
Kirk estate. She luxuriated in a
cool shower, dressed, and guild
ed the roadster to parking
space in front of the building
which housed the offices of
Jonathan and Jones, archi.
tects.
Charlie Jones welcomed her
delightedly. He cleared space
for her to sit down. Then he
swamped her with drawings and
plans and blueprints.
"When can you start actual
construction" Penny asked.
Tomorrow" he said.
Go ahead" Penny ordered.
Get started"
We're all set to CO." Charlie
Jones told her. Tomorrow
morning the steam shovels will
be on the job. Boy, have l got
work to do! I'll telephone the
contractors Immediately"
ed better get out of here be-
fore I'm run down." Penny
laughed. "You really move
when you get going"
you bet" he answered. 1--WE
have been waiting for your sig
nal"
Next, Penny did some shop
ping. The first speech she had
ever made from a public plat
form was scheduled for Friday
night. She needed an appropri-
ate dress And while she was at
it, she might as well have new
hat, she decided.
After that, and lunch, she
felt better. An inviting theater
offered relaxation. She enjoyed
herself completely. To keep Cas-
tro guessing, she decided to
spend the night at the estate.
She would have a surprise in
store for him Friday night.

PENNY'S PLAN DEVELOPS
CHAPTER x
BY GLORIA KAYE

On winged feet, Penny raced
toward the office. All around
her lights were beginning TO POP
into windows. Hastily dressed
householders poured out of their
homes, and soon a stream OF
people was rushing to the scene
The Kirktown Fire Depart
ment had speedily reused itself
She heard the siren as the en-
CINE sped along Central avenue
It seemed to her that hours had
passed before she reached the
Courier office.
She searched the faces at the
scene of the fire. An eternity
ended when she saw Jim-safe
THANK heaven" she said, fer
vently. THANK heaven Jim's all
right"
His face was study in bitter
anger. His lips were tight, his
head hunched low between his
broad shoulders. Jim's fists were
so tightly C en- h d that his
knuckles showed white. Penny
pressed back tears. Then anger
overwhelmed all other emotions.
She shared Jim's bitterness.
She walked over to him, look
ed up into his eyes. She offered
him comfort without saying a
word.
Lets go, Penny" he said,
finally. They pushed their way
through the crowd, toward
Jim's car. Penny shivered, de-
spite the warmth of the night.
Jim peeled off his coat and
wrapped it around her should
ers.
This is it, Penny" Jim said.
"Castro has asked for a show
down. He'll know he's been in
4 fight before I'm finished"
please, JIM" she pleaded.
please, for my sake, don't do
anything you'll regret. I know
what you're thinking. I know
Castro has it coming to him.
There're other ways. Don't spoil
1t now"
Jim's smile was bitter. "A lot
Of people have tried appease-
ment. 1t doesn't work. You can't
talk peace with a guy who has
4 gun stuck in your ribs. This
is war, Penny. It's time to give
Castro the only kind of treat
ment he understands"
II know, JIM" she said. 81
feel the same way. Castro is 60
ing to get just { C kind of treat
ment he's entitled to. Listen to
me, Jim. ! want you to hear my
plan, now"
Rapidly, the words tumbling
swiftly out, she presented her
idea to Jim. AS he listened, she
watched the changing light in
his eyes.
Penny" he enthused, you're
genius. Boy! Wait until they
see our paper this week. Your
stunt will work! Why, Castro
has walked right into our arms"
Excitedly, he planned with
her.
First, we have to see how
much damage has been done to

selves, I'll take the Courier into

program to say to some one that he
Is wanted somewhere how can you
expect to do things senAbly?"
Mr.. Davenport and others sug-
gested that perhaps the Govern
ment may have to resort to subsidiz-
ing a movement to transport needed
skilled workers from their homes to
distant factories.
That was a problem, however, in
volving so many angles Of costs and
adjustment to private lives that no
one In the Government is prepared
to answer 1t adequately.
Panel members also pointed to the
need of establishment of training
courses in the District to equip
many OF the unemployed for proper
places in war production Col.
Frank j. McSherry. deputy director
Of labor Of the War Production
Board, said it was common logic
that the United States should pay
for this training"
The chairman Of the panel was
G. Lyle Belsley. assistant executive
secretary Of the War Production
Board. Another member OF the
panel was Byron Mitchell, chief
budget examiner for the Bureau OF
the Budget.

Dominican Senorita. Here
To Study American Ways

Senorita Carmen Lara. Symbol Of
Friendship" from the Dominican Re-
public, was in Washington today and

100000 are without children of

two groups, she said. an army of fe-
male workers is available.
Shortage Of Skilled Workers.
The purpOse of the meeting, con-
Quoted before an overflow audience
at the Y. w. c. A.. was to discuss
the question now confronting the
Nation in utilizing its man power
for war production. For the first
time, panel speakers said. the Ma
ton is confronted with a shortage
of skilled workers and the job must
seek the man. Problems involved
are complicated, 1t was said, by the
great numbers now being squeezed
out of employment in so-called nom
essential defense industries.
Commissioner Arthur S. Flem-
ming of the Civil Service Commits
sion said that agency is taking the
lead in studying the problem of
placing in new jobs an estimated
100000 workers who will be un-
employed by the end of this year
through the shut down of such in
duStries.
Brig Gen. Lewis B. Hershey, Sc
lective service director. warned that
Government and private industries
must stop trying to 'outbid each
other" for essential man power or
the results would lead to chaos"
He compared the situation to
hysteria that is caused by radio re-
cruiting drives for the Army and
Navy and industry in general.

Of the Bureau of Labor Statistics,
and supported by Miss Louise Stitt,
director of the Minimum Wage Divi-
sion of the Labor Departments S
Women's Bureau.
Miss Stitt said women comprice
only 2 per cent of the employees of
the aircraft industry, for example,
and pointed out that experience
shows there are many fields in war
production in which industry can
draw largely from the huge reservoir

Editor: In the history of Amer
lea, the Negro people have played
an outstanding progressive role.
In face of segregation and Unequal
opportunity, they have not only
helped build our democratic insti-
buttons and enrich our culture, but
in every major crisis of our ma
ton, they have risen above the in
justices to their race, and have
made contributions that have been
decisive - tn a t is, contributions
without which there would not
have been victory for progress.
This is true of the Revolutionary
War, and of the Civil War, and
other historic struggles not alone
the military conflicts. These great
contributions Of the Negro people
have not been accorded their place
in the American history texts, and
still too marrow a circle of people
know about them. Gradually, the
great names are emerging from
obscurity. Almost every Negro
and every progressive students of
American history knows the name
of Frederick Douglass. Far fewer
know about the truly majestic
Negro woman, Sojourner Truth.
This great self-taught woman saw
with amazing clarity the link be-
tween her peoples fight for free
dom, and the progressive struggles
which others waged. She went the
length and breadth of the land,
where she was invited and where
she was not invited, carrying on
an educational campaign to merge
the fight for Emancipation with
other progressive struggles. Every
one should read about her appear
ance before a "Woman's Rights
Convention" (AIron, Ohio, 1869
where the purpose of the conven-
ton was being defeated by the in

superior privileges for men "be-

At the moment when the timorous
white women were facing defeat
and discontinue, Sojourner Truth
rose to speak. She took over the
