i've been thinking. Don't ask
me what with; I'm serious"
What. are you serious about,
Big Boy?"
Your little pal. She's got me

don't mean wedding ring"
That's when I got my first sur

kid, nothing. Nom, I'm 25
years old"
That was the second jar. II
don't believe it," I said. Some
body slipped you phony vital
statistic"
He gave me quick sketch Of
hts life. Since high school days
he'd been really pro under cover.
It wasn't false colors, because in
those coast schools where he
played, that sort Of thing was per-
fectly kosher. Baseball, basket
ball, hockey; he was a darb at all
Of them, but football was his best
bet.
Marriage, huh?" I said. What
do you figure to use for money!"
Next fall can be In the
money, Mom," he said Real
money, too. This Is under your
shirt. Did you notice slick
looking bird that called me out
one. night when Juddy and I were
eating?"
1t happened did. ---.--.
Hes fixer for a bunch that
follow championship football Big
money birds. He limited around
about how easy an end might
tumble pass or miss . tackle or
two. Well, I wasn't having any
Of that. Then he came out fiat
and said It'd be worth years
pay If I had to quit football be-
fore the Balestier game"
Haven't you got an agreement
With Welliver?"
Nothing in writing. Anyway,
hose deals are full of holes"

Sure! Nobody would expect a

rom another school. AS prac-
,ical woman, you can see that,
Yourself, Nom"
Well, I could Of course. But
doubted whether Juddy would be
that broadminded She never had
che advantages of business training
I told him so.
Have. you put 1t up to her?'
asked him.
Yes, he had. She didn't like
the smell Of 1t, he told me.
There's another way, too" he
said. THAT rat, Oliver, is all SET
to funk me In Am. Eth. Suppose
oblige him? That would put me
on probation and ease me off the
football squad automatically"
Yves; but how do you know
the nxer would come across with
the price. after you're safely
dunked?" said.
That's the catch,"' he said "He
wouldn't have to"
He rambled on, mostly about
now unreasonable Juddy was
about some things. She was dea6
set that he must stick to his Am
Eth. till he'd licked 1t. She'd got
it up her little snoot that Dot
Oliver wasn't giving him a fail
deal. So Angels line was to MAKE
monkey Of him by passing the
exam. Shed help him work or
1T, evenings.
Oh, yeah? - ! said to myself
And he'd be working on her al
the same time. From Angels long
rigmarole, didn't make out
whether Juddy was for the mar
rage or not.
Anyway, I had an alternative
idea for Juddy. And I figured II
was about time to spring it. I got
an opening the next night.

Representative Reed, Republican,
of Illinois told the House today
that Representative McKeough,
Democrat, Of Illinois had permitted
bias and prejudice to warp his
usual sound judgment" in charging
Col. Robert r. Mccormick, publisher
Of the Chicago Tribune, with
treason.
Mr.. McKeough's charge of trea-
son was made on the floor yesterday
in denouncing Tribune editorial,
which declared that 1t was time
that those who willed the war were
driven from their hiding places to
the front line where they can share
the agony which they created"
Mr.. Reed said that Col. Nc
Cormick had served in France dur
ing the First World War with the
61st Field Artillery, won the Dis
tinguished Service Medal and was
hardly the type Of citizen against
whom the charge of disloyalty and
treason will apply"

Neutrality Provision
Repealed by Senate,
Paving Way TO Credits
Would Allow Cunudu
To Obtain Booking Of
U. S. Business Firms :
By J. A. O'LEARY.

The Senate today passed
unanimously a resolution re-
pealing another section of the
Neutrality Act to clear the war
for financial credit transactions
between American business con-
Germs and Canada, and sent it to
the House fer approval.
Action came within half an hour
after the Foreign Relations Com
mittee had approved the step, recon-
mended few days ago by President
Roosevelt.
Although Senator johnson, Re-
publican, of California withheld his
approval of the resolution in COM
fiaittee, he announced on the floor
of the Senate he would not oppose
its passage because he had been
assured that it does not wipe from
the statute books the johnson Act
he sponsored before this war, pro-
hibiting nations in default on their
debts to the United States from
selling securities here.
n,
souri,, took the floor to offer a sub
stitute, repeating all remaining frag-
ments of the Neutrality Act instead
of the one financial section, but
withdrew his motion when Chair
man Connally assured him the For
eign Relations Committee will con-
slider his complete repeal plan at
its next meeting.
Senator Clark, an opponent OF the
administration foreign policy before
the Japanese attack at Pearl Harbor,
said men may differ as to the cir
cumstances that brought the United
States into the war, but the fact re-
mains that the Nation is involved in
a serious struggle, and 1t would be
better to wipe out all that remains OF
the Neutrality Act than to do the
job peacemeal.
The act might well have been
repealed when the Lease-lend Act
passed. because it was emaSculated,"
the MiSSourian declared.
In urging Senator Clark not to
press his substitute, Chairman Con-
nally said there is need for speedy
action on the lifting of the ban on
credits, which section 7 of the Neu-
trality Act placed on all countries
that were named in any of the Presi-
dents neutrality proclamations.

AN EAST COAST CANADIAN
PORT. Feb. 11.-Exhausted and
wounded survivors from two more
ships sunk in the Western Atlantic
rested here today. Eighteen OF them
were Canadians from a tanker.
The 18 were among 20 from the
vessel who drifted three days and
two nights in ifeboat before a
freighter picked them up. Twenty
seven others we're from Greek
vessel that an Axis submarine
pounded under the surface with a
31a hour shelling.
The Canadians landed here with
out knowledge of the fate of % other
men from their torpedoed ship who
left it in two lifeboats. The missing
men, mostly Canadians. included
also one American and the captain
and all his deck officers.
The rescued said double -barreled
attack came without warning in
darkness so intense that they were
amazed the submarine, which showed
not glimmer Of light, was able to
spot its quarry.
The first torpedo struck on the
starboard side at 7:45 pm, and
second crashed into the engine room
through the port side half hour
later. The lifeboats got away under
cover of darkness, their men failing
to catch a glimpse of the attacker.
The seamen from the Greek vessel
said cunning of the lifeboats by the
submarine killed two in the life
boats. Another jumped from the
blazing ship and was lost.
