Mr.. Dalton paused, his lips qulv-
ering. Bigger could see that he was
very nervous. Gentlemen" Mr.
Dalton said again, II want to make
a statement and l want you TO
take it carefully. The way you men
handle this will mean life Or death
to someone, someone close to this
family, to me. Someone Mr..
Dalton's voice trailed off. The
basement filled with murmurs OF
eagerness. Bigger heard the kidnap
note cracking family in Mr.. Dali
tons fingers. Mr.. Dalton's lace
was dead-white and his blood-shot
eyes were deep set in his head
above patches of -colored skin
The fire in the furnace was low
and the draft was but a whisper
Bigger saw Mr.. DaltOn's white hair
glisten like molten silver from the
pale sheen of the fire.
Then suddenly, so suddenly that
the men gasped, the door behind
Mr.. Dalton filled with a glowing
white presence. 1t was Mrs. Dali
ton, her white eyes held wide and
stormy, her hands lifted sensitive
ly upward toward her lips, the
fingers long and white and wide
apart. The basement was lit up
with the white flash of dozen
silver bulbs.
Ghostlike. Mrs. Dalton moved
noiselessly down the steps until
she came to Mr.. Dalton's side, the
big white cat following her. She
stood with one hand lightly touch
ing a ba1Iister and the other held
in midair. Mr.. Dalton did not move
or look round; he placed one of his
hands over hers on the banister
covering it, and faced the men,
Meanwhile, the big white cat
bounded down the steps and leap
ed with one movement upon Big
gers shoulder and sat perched
there. Bigger was still, feeling that
the cat had given him away, had
pointed him out as the murderer
of Mary. He tried to lift the cat
down; but it's claws clutched his
coat. The silver lightning flashed
in his eyes and he knew that the
men had taken pictures of him
with the cat poised upon his
shoulder. He tugged at the cat
once more and managed to get ii
down. 1t landed on it's feet with
a long whine, then began to rub
itself against Bigger's legs. God
damn! Why can't that cat leave
me alone? He heard Mr.. Dalton
speaking.
Gentlemen, you may take pic
lures, but wait a moment. I've Just
phoned the police and asked that
Mr.. Erlone be released immediate

want to prefer charges against

Congress Told
OF High Prices =

Henderson Says
His Office Would
Probe Situation

WASHINGTON, D. CLAMP
Bringing before congress through
the Congressional Record the ex-
cesSive prices charged Negroes for
food in certain areas. Rep. Louis
Ludlow of Indiana had nothing
but praise for the NAACP and the
manner in which that organize
ton conducted survey and made
a presentation of the subject as it
was found to exist in New York.
There is cumulative evidence
that in some perhaps many-locali-
ties of this country, higher prices
are charged Negroes for food than
white persons are required tc
pay," Mr.. Ludlow began.
II think this a very unfair, UNI
wise and unpatriotic discrimina-
ton.
How can any one defend such a
practice? How can anyone take the
position that when we are send

lea, and to risk their lives on all
of the far-flung battle fronts. it
is quite all right and proper to
soak their people at home with ex-
cessive prices for food, away above
the prices which other people are
required to pay? I think such dis
elimination is monstrous.
"I brought UP this matter in
the sub committee on deficiencies
on June u last, when Leon Hen
derson. the Price administrator,
was the witness before US"
At that time, Mr.. Ludlow told
Henderson he had learned of the
practice of charging Negroes high
er prices than were charged whites.
said he had not had
any complaints so far as he knew.
But he did admit that there are
some stores in Negro communities
which customarily charge higher
prices"
When asked If he would take
action if instances OF such dis
elimination we're found, Mr.. Hen
derson said his office would I'M
dertake to eliminate them.
