da. Democrat. Wrangell's Mayor, Fred Hanford, saw Langer when he was east past month, and tells your Periscoper that Langer means bus mess. He didn't toss the bill in just for a sop but intends to see it en- acted into law. The North Dakota Senator is digging up every avail able fact about the Territory. He's finding out the number of people in the Territory who vote, who pay taxes, where they live, what they do and is delYing into a dozen other angles. Langer sees statehood for Alaska as a fact not just a promise.
 Every indication is the Alaska fish pack will top the five million case mark under the salmon concen- tration plan in effect this year. Af- fable, able pr. Ira N Gabrielson, fisheries chief, who was through town from his headquarters in Chi cago Monday, says reports so far are good. With over a million cases in Bristol Bay, the outlook is bright. Gabrielson, not unmindful of the loads of criticism hurled at his department at the close of last season, particularly from South east Alaska, is prepared to face the barrage on the front lines himself this season. He's planning to stay in Alaska until September and as the seasons close in the various dis tricts he plans to be on the ground personally.
 T can take it." laughed Gabriel son.
 Best proof of it is the excellent results he has obtained after taking over a bad situation in fisheries. He rates high not only as the Dir ector of the U. S. Fish and Wild life Service and Deputy Coordinator of Fisheries under Secretary Ickes. but as a practical, sound man. In Congress where the representatives of the people have a tendency to look upon bureaucrats with distain Gabrielson is highly regarded; his knowledge sought.

 Men who get around over the Territory tell us the so-called anti Governor sentiment is largely cen tered in Juneau. Outside of the capital city there isn't much com plaint about the Governor. This is interesting for two reasons: First, Washington isn't paying. any atten- tion to the grousing about it's re- presentatiYe in the Governo S house in Juneau. Secondly, the cleo tion-of-goYernor bill at the present writing hasn't much of a chance. It's very doubtful if it will get to first base so long as the war is on.

ON IPlBIIE WASHINGTON
 FRONT
* < * *
By JACK STINNETT

WASHINGTON There has been lot of talk around here about how much political se-feeling the Democratic members of Congress are going to do on their vacations. but it's my guess the Republican members will do lot more.
 There isn't a politician worth the name who doesn't realize that the Republican national con ention next summer is going to be "fav- orite son" conyention-and doesn't know that such conventions are the ones filled with dynamite.
 Let me quote a former chairman of the national Democratic commit tee, who no longer is a front man in the political arena but still must remain nameless.
 Dewey and Macarthur Chats Governor Tom of New York and that man" in the Pacific war the-I atre) seem to be the logical Repub-I lican possibilities. They are men the Republicans should think they might win with.
 But the 'favorite son prospects now indicate there is a strong prob ability of a convention deadlock and the opponents of MT. Wendell Willkie will have to be very alert to find enough faVOrite-son parking spaces if they are going to prevent Mir Willkie from capturing the nomination"
 Interesting Observation
 That is an interesting long-range observation for several reasons but mainly because it's an opposition party conclusion that if Dewey is as reluctant to run as he insists he is, the Republican Old Guard and middle-of-the-roaders may have to concentrate on Macarthur if they have any serious intentions of de- feating Willkie in convention and capturing the seat in the White House in November, 1914.
 Macarthur not only hasn't given the slightest nod To any of his packers but he has publicly disa- vowed all interest in national pol itics. Intimates who have been in contact with him recently say he's now a man with one burning pas sion-to vindicate his whole miIi- tary career by recapturing the is lands he and his men were driven out of and to spearnead the attack on the nation that druve them into the seas off Bataan and Corregidor.
 These intimates are confident that even if he were nominated. Macarthur would refuse the nomin- ation. That is a point that the Mac Arthur-for-President club in Illin- ois twhere they insist they will put him on the primary ticket for pres ident. with or without his perEis-

sion) would do well to explore.
 Would Have To Resign Army

would Have 10 Resign Army
 Under the present Army ruling. if Macarthur were named in con- vention, he would have to abandon his command to accept the nomina- tion. He would have to resign from the Army, return Co civilian life and give up the very things he now is seeking so strenuously to achieve
 The President, as his commander in chief. probably would exempt him from the order. as a gesture of courtesy toward a prospective op- ponent. But that wouldn't change MacArthur's obligation to what friends say now is his sole ambition.
 Big Jim" in Town
 The Capital in Wartime:
 Big Jim" Farley in town for few days for activities purely so- ciaI is telling the boys that any of the political pundits who say his trip to Mexico City is anything but a vacation are just crawling out on that limb.
 Mebbe so. Mebbe the ex-chairman of the Democratic National Commit tee is just going to stop off at Uyalde, Texas, to take ex-Viee President John Nance Garder a case of soda pop to mix with his branch water and 10 discuss the kind of weather nature makes.
 If there is real trouble matching for the fourth term within the par ty. it would be pretty hard to make any one believe that it's two Demo- cratic arch foes won't do a little egg-settin' down at Uvalde. Maybe what Genial Jim meant by yaea- tion was vacation from his bever- age export business. If Farley ever took a vacation from politics. no one ever caught him at it.

THE STORY so FAR: An orphan,
Charlotte tCherry) Rawlings knows al
most nothing of her early history when,
acceding to the wishes Of her guardians,
Judge Judson Marshbanks and Emma
Haskell, she, becomes the secretary Of
Mrs. Porteous Porter, wealthy San Fran
ciscan. Busy as she is, Cherry sees
the Judge from time to time and meets
the members OF his household; his die
tatorial old mother; Amy Marshbanks,
debutante daughter of his dead brother
Fred; and Fran, his gay young second
wife. Shortly afterward Cherry learns
Emma tells her) that her mother (nev-
er married) had been Emma's sister,
Charlotte; that her father had been the
judges brother Fred-Amy's father; and
that shortly after Cherry and Amy we're
born Cherry's mother had switched the
two babies. Cherry is really Amy Marsh
banks. The Judge confirms the story but
to protect Amy his mother burns certain
papers that would have proved 1t true.
Meanwhile Cherry has become engaged
to Kelly Coates, young artist (who for
a time had been infatuated with Fran
Marshbanks); and Amy is determined to
marry Count Mario (Gogo) Constantine
when she is twenty-one in a few days.
When Kelly calls to see Cherry after re-
turning from Honolulu where he lad
painted portrait. Cherry Is Jealous and
hurt because she had inferred from
telephone conversation of Fran's she
overheard that Fran had been to lunch
at his Sausalito studio. Cherry is happy
when he says he HASN'T seen Fran in
weeks. Old Mrs. Marshbanks tells Cher
ry she resents her presence in the house
and tells Amy that Cherry is false
friend. Amy pretends to think her grand
mother is in her dotage, but talks prf-
vately to the Judge in his library. After
she leaves the Judge is killed with bull
let through his heart, and everybody In
the house is under suspicion.
Now continue with the story.

CHAPTER XIV

They had decided not to tell any,
one the news Immediately. Amy
and her Gogo had flown to Reno
that morning, had been married in
the afternoon, and it was the Count
ess Georgia Francisco Marion Alex
andre Stanislaus Constantine who
seated herself upon Cherry's bed
and poured forth the thrilling tale
of her days adventures.
"There was a balance at the bank,
you know" Amy confided, "and-it
was SO cutel-when we went there
yesterday I said, OF course half
of that's yours How do you mean,
you crazy, generous baby?' he said.
I mean that half of everything I
have is yours, Gogo,'-I told him.
1t was money that had been pill
ing up since my grandfather died,
and some of the Porter money. Most
of it, of course, they invested as it
came in, and half of that'll be his,
too. But this was just few thou
sands" Amy went on carelessly;
"eleven thousand and some hun
dreds, and SO he got his half and
really I think he was touched, /
mean, he didn't say much, but when
we were back in the car he told me
it was because he couldn't say
much"
"Oh, Amy, I hope it all goes
right! When-when are you going
to tell people?" Cherry asked.
'I'm going to tell my grandmoth-
er tonight"
"She'n have ten thousand fits"
''It will only be one more thing
to fuss about" Amy said indiffer-
emily.
II am going off with Gogo to-
night. / am not sure where. But
anyway, he's calling for me at half
past seven, and / have to see Fran
and have a scene before that"
So confident, so pretty, so inso-
lent! Amy had four days SEMI
ority over Cherry, but Cherry felt
the older by that many years.
ibid they find any will of your
father's?" she asked almost invol-
unfairly, out of thought. For Amy
had recently had long sessions with
lawyers.
Amy shrugged indifferently. mo.
No will"
"But, of course, there was my
grandfather's WILL" she said. What
my father left wasn't so much, it'll
only bring me in--oh, maybe three
or four thousand a year. So that his
having left a will or not didn't
count"
A few moments later Amy went to
her grandmother room. and when
