criminals, said Plummer was re-
naming in his office at least until
the prison board meeting today.
Plummers presence is hamper
ing investigation of the weekend
escapades Of bank robber LLOYD
Sampsell, WHO left a labor camp to
visit a woman friend in San Fran
CISCO and other prison admlmstra-
ton conditions, Alco said.
Adam reported, however, that
Plummer had been very co-opera-
tive" toward the temporary warden.
Plummer pointed out that his resi-
dence is at the prison, and said ne
expects to remain there throughout
the inquiry.
Apprised of the situation, Gov.
Warren declared that the prison
board, "if it has the power, should
get Plummer out, so he can't keep
his people in line"
The governor, commenting on
SampSells frequent unauthorized
leaves from custody and his visits
to the apartment of Mrs. Jacqueline
de la Prevotiere in San Francisco,
charged that IAN explosion has been
brewing" at the Folsom prison.
There have been several recent
escapes" Warren said. Complaints
have been coming from Plumas
county that convicts in harvest
camps there have been getting
drunk, visiting red light districts
and going fishing in Humbug-

bug valley"
Habitual criminals with the
blackest records have been sent
outside the prison walls on harvest
parole, Warren added. He explained
the system had been inaugurated to
aid farmers facing shortage of
labor, but said only convicLo OF
provel character TT for rehLblll-
tation should have been paroled.
Adam, who attended a meeting
of the governors special inveStigat-
ing committee in Sacramento last
night, announced that more than
one hundred Folsom convictS who
hav ebeen working in daily harvest
camps near the prison have been
called in for the season.

losses in the Gilbert islands cam
paign were light and that U. S
planes are already using the enemy
built air strip on Tarawa.
Knox said American commanders
in the Gilbert operation did not
underestimate Japanese strength
particularly at Tarawa where
American losses were comparatively
very heavy,
BOMBED, BOMBARDED
For a week before the landings
were undertaken. Tarawa was sub
jected to terrific aerial lombard
ment. The actual landings We're
preceded by a continuous naval
bombardment from all kinds of
warships, including battleships.
He explained that the chief diff
ficulty confronting the landing
forces was the reefs fringing the
island and which caused landing
craft to ground on them. making
them easy targets for the enemy's
concentrated firepower
Knox revealed that at the end of
last month the seabees had reach
ed their full quota of 250,000 en-
listed men and 71,000 officers. OF
this number. 10000 enlisted men
and 10000 officers are serving over
seas.

he could make no specific an
nouncement on American ship loss
es because naval forces were still
operating in the area.
SEABEES UNDER FIRE
He told how seabeeS went ashore
at Tarawa and, even before the
fighting had ceased. were already
working to put the enemy air strip
into shape.
-Four days after the initial at
tack on Tarawa-and mind you. l
said initial attack-our flierS were
using the field" he said.
The field will be enlarged and
will become an important base" I"
he added.
REPLACE LOSSES
He also revealed that on Thanks
giving day the United Nations had
completed more than enough mer-
chant tonnage to replace all the
United Nations merchant losses
since the outbreak of war in 1889.
He said he didn't have the fig
ures available but wanted to con-
gratrlate Rear Admiral Emory S.

CHAPTER TWENTY-NINE


BY sHANiELESSLY perking her

everything her hostess was saying,
She heard the invitatory: Come
out tonight" And then, Paige Is
here" And then, through chuckle,
II thought that would make you

Don't be late, Denison."
Lying there, snug and warm and
sleepy beneath the down. comfort,
Paige found she could not be angry
with the well-meaning little wom-
an for having telephoned Denison
Ware. And certainly she could not
be angry with Denison himself.
In fact, later that day she knew
she was glad to see him come sllth-
ering up the driveway in a mud
splattered station wagon. He was
wearing wrinkled Stacks and a
bright-tiowered sport shirt and car
rying a stack Of records. He STROBE
across the living room with the
grace Of beach boy and carefully
lowered his burden upon the floor
beside Abbys photograph.
He spoke then. Hi, Abby. Hi,
Paige. II you two women try TO
make me take you dancing I'll kill

the records. I'm all prepared for

His hostess gave a sarcastic
grunt. do look as if I were 60

Nope His grin took IN the
splendor Of her Chinese mandarin
coat. You look exactly like an Ella

you" He was addressing Paige
now, look like a Chinese princess. "
He put a stack Of records on the
photograph, then looked at the girl
again, squirting slightly. "Golly,
how I'd like to design house for
you"
"Oh, sure! Sure! Sure" Abby's
interruption was as sour as I'M

Denison also was whispering, part

at her a great deal longer than was
necessary. What would you dc

FOOD PROBLEMS

ESSc FnOoG G MO
We can. no longer blame the
Office OF Price Administration and
the Agriculture Department for all
food shortages and high prices.
The weather has stepped in, threat
ening a shortage OF fresh fruits and
vegetables and high prices as a
result of the recent cold wave
which extended as far south as
Florida.
The Agriculture Department fixes
production goals and the OPA, on
the basis OF perfectly good Stats
tics, orders price ceilings Then
mother nature brings freezing
weather, a week or two OF drouth,
a few days Of rain, and the con-
.suming public discovers that in
stead of edible fruits aud vegeta.
bles It has some decidedly non
edible production goals and price
ceilings.
The recent cold wave has
changed all green vegetable supply
calculations. Farmers who have
TO replant acreage destroyed by
the freeze will want higher prices,
and consumers may be glad to pay.
Price ceilings may be placed on
fresh fruits and vegetables within
two or three months. That will be
too late TO affect the present Flori-
da crop.
Two other food groups pressing
for higher prices, butchers and
meat packers declare that unless
meat price "squeezes" are correct
ed. small packers will shut up
shop and butchers will strike-not
against the packers, but against
OPA.
Dairy Representatives who have
been pressing OPA for relief from
the order setting q ceiling on pro-
ducers' milk prices are promised
substantial adjustments involv-
ing substantial leveling out Of
prices.
Consumers and producers alike
are interested in all price ADJUST
ments, but the question OF supply
Is coming TO be OF more general
concern. There must be a lot of
back yard gardening this year. A
good victory garden will be a great
household help, and II you are a
heavy eater you better plan TO can
sufficient supplies for next winter.
