don't suppose that makes any difference -
"And if dont let him 60, will save the
loose cash and maybe the gold filings OF
lot of American boys" Dan grabs Stuffy by
the arm and starts forward. But he only takes
one step. He turns to Cookie and frowns.
whats this you say? How can mug like
Stufy save anyone's life? He's no-gooo
guy"
Cookie lights cigarette and sinks down
into chair 'Stuffy was about to be trans
ferred," he says HE was going to certain
camp down south for special training.
Doing what?" growls Dan. HE amt
good for anything
He would be good at this, says COOKIE
He lowers his voice. 1T seems the enemy IS
using certain type of land mine that can be
detonated harmlessly without being taken
from the ground. But" goes on Cookie,
leaning forward and poking his finger into
Dams chest, its job for guys with slippery
fingers. So the Army is getting together
lot of smooth dips and lock-workers with
Jimmy Valentine fngertips, and training
them. It's volunteer job. Sometime or
other the guys fingers won't be slippery
enough - and it'll be just too bad. But If
you would rather put him behind bars in
Leavenworth -"
Il amt saying would" says Dan, biting
his lips.
Don't let me influence you, }" says Cookie.
Its like you say - he is no-good guy.
And maybe no-good guys don't deserve
chance to do important and dangerous work
for their country Maybe was just lucky"
"You?" says Dan.
Cookie nods Sure, me. You admit I'm
no-good guy = just like Stuffy. I'm just
crooked mouthpiece for the boys. I'm all
on the shady side and so are the guys who
hire me- But look at the job had chance
to do when we landed in Algiers last year"

papers," says Dan.

in front of the cafe where he knows Stuffy
is seeing the New Year in; but it isn't until
almost one o'clock that he hears what he
wants to hear, which is the sound OF an argu-
ment or maybe fight inside the cafe.
liz PUSHES through the door. There is a
disturbance, all right. But Stuffy isn't part
of it. He is at the bar, smiling happily at
three civilians who are shaking fingers at one
another and working themselves up to the
first punch. Dan sighs sadly. Civilians are

Dan closes his eyes to take the

and opens them just in time. Out NV

who has pulled another fast one and eased
out of the prisoner f-war detail to catch Dan
red-handed Dan just has time to climb over
the bar and roll underneath it when Stuffy
comes humping in. swinging his billy and
looking pleased with life.
II see from outside" says Stuffy, that

That wasn't no disturbance, says Charlie

Charlie looks across the bar and sighs

call my place out-of-bounds for the boys.
So guess we better do what this MP says -
you got sense" says Stuffy. Where is
he?"
You'll find him back in the kitchen, says
Charlie, hiding behind the ice chest"
Stuffy struts off. Dan is out from under
the bar and through the front door without
even stopping to say thank you to Charlie

can be perfect soldier just so long 1t gets
to be December, and New Years Eve is
coming up. It's cinch the one who is ott
duty on New Years Eve is going to lose.
But Dams luck holds He is assigned to duty
on the main stem; Stuffy draws the night Off,
The Eve is the biggest night of the year
in the theatrical section, and with all the SOL
diers that can be spared on leave, the MP's
have special instructions not to be tough
about minor violations. So when Dan IS
strolling along on patrol, and sees Stufty
coming out of a cafe with his tie hanging
down under one ear, he doesn't say anything.
After all, it is only nine o'clock, and he can
afford to wait At ten he sees Stufty again,
going into another cafe. BY this time the tie
is hanging down the back of his neck. and
his shoelaces are united, trailing behind him.
And at eleven, when Stufy comes out OF
this cafe, he hasn't got any necktie at all.
Instead his shoes are tied together and draped
around his neck
Still Dan doesn't take him in. There have
been rumors that the Lieutenant uptown IS
pretty busy and overworked, what with all
the goings-on around town, and doesn't want
to be bothered unless it is important. Maybe
it is not so important if soldier wants to
wear his shoes around his neck. Maybe, when
it gets to be midnight, Stuffy will let himself
go in big way.
Twelve O'Clock comes. There is much
shouting and horn-blowing. But Dan is not
distracted from his main idea, which is to

He is extra careful all that day. They are
both so keyed up, anything can happen,
and it is lucky break when the lull comes.
Stuffy's name is posted to 60 on three-day
trip with batch of prisoners of war who are
moving through town to the south.

Dan comes to attention and salutes,
and when he pulls his hand down
away from his face he recognizes
this lieutenant. He is Cookie Mac
Balm, the fastest-thinking and
smoothest-talking criminal lawyer
in town.
Hello, McGarry," says Lieuten-
ant Cookie. $50 you have got him

"Oh, he lifts the stuff - no doubt

in one of the booths near the bar
and l see the whole thing. Never
have l watched a guy with such

will let them have it or not. But they get
up safe to headquarters. There is French

good guy can be of some use in war. But
still maybe you're right about Stuffy. Maybe
he belongs in the pen instead of doing special
war work with his slippery fingers"
Dan scratches his head. He glowers at
Stuffy and says, ''You don't tell me about
being transferred for special training!'
Stuffy lets out long sigh. To tell the
truth, Flatfoot, that is one my mouthpiece
thought up to help me beat the rap"
Dan blasts at Cookie so you're trying
to make monkey out of me again!
Hold it," interrupts Stuffy. Don't you
see what has happened? Cookie is such

Dan picks up the loot from the
table and hands it to Stuffy. Drop

says, "and then wise up the barkeep
so the right guys find them"
He watches from the door a
couple of minutes until Stuffy does
as he says. Then he turns back to

chair frowning at the ceiling. You

He stops suddenly and his eyes mar

Budapest Quartet
Presents Opus
|By Hindemith
BY ELENA DE SAYN.

The first performance Of the new
Quartet in E Flat Major" by
Hindemith, presented by the Buda-
pest String Quartet, to whom 1t is
dedicated. drew good size audience
to the Library Of Congress last night.
The performers were rewarded by
enthusiastic applause at the con-
clusion. something they always get,
however, no matter what they play.
Hindemith has been holding a
place Of distinction as one Of the
leading composers of today for a
number of years. While his music is
not exactly "tuneful," its logic, form
and masterful workmanship over
rules whatever objections personal
preferences may put against 1t. In
this particular opus. as in others
from his pen, the lack of exaggera-
tions and freedom from unhealthy
lsentimentality are its chief asset.
It's surging vitality. robustness and
compactness seem to spring from an
active mind which delights in archi-
tectural design.
AS the description of the move
ments indicated, the quiet fugato
theme Of the opening bars. intro
duced by the viola and taken up in
turns by the other instruments, calls
for expressiveness. AS it was to be
expected, the artists gave considera-
ton to every detail. They delineated
a variety of moods, going from the
resolute and passionate in the first
movement to tender and flowing
passages of the second. The clarity
of tone and dexterity of fingers was
in full evidence when they brushed
lightly over a charming and catchy
"scherzando" to linger with gravity
on the artful counterpoint of the
last part which closed on serious,
melancholy note. They scored,
where others might have fallen
short, their readings being authori-
tative and ineligible.
The bright Quartet in G Major
Op. 54, No. l." by Haydn, which
opened the program. received COL
orful performance in their hands,
in spite Of somewhat exaggerated
tempt. The "Allegretti" of the
second and third movements seemed
to be still the Allegro con brio" of
the first, while that particular move
ment was so fast as to resemble the
tempo of the presto" in the finale
Beethoven's Quartet in F Major,
Op. 50. No. l." closed the program.
