be able to fight again.
II was injured" he said, when a
deck gun I was trying to secure
swung around and hit me in the
back Of the head. After that I was
in the hospital at Newfoundland for
80 days and have been in the Chel-
sea Hospital about a month"
Seaman Ryan had a narrow escape
on the bulldozer which he operated
as a member OF the Navy Seabees
over the rugged terrain OF isolated
posts.
"One time we were grading a hill
and was going up in my bulldozer
at sharp angle" he related. Sud
denly 1t began to slide backward and
I jumped out just in time to see 1t
stand straight up on its back and
flop backward down the hill.
He referred to his seven months
in the Navy as training period.
His outfit, he said, was preparing to
60 into actual combat when he was
sent to the hospital.
Based in Newfoundland, the bat
talon was sent by Navy transport
to remote posts to repair and build
roads, barracks. recreation halls and
airnelds. Seaman Ryan, In civilian
life a plumber. said that operating
bulldozer is lot better than
plumbing even though we did work

his outfit was doing some construc-

enemy snipers.
One night while I was standing

McCarran Invites Abe
To Ask for Additional
Enforcement Powers

Chairman McCarran of the Senate
District Committee yesterday in
vited members of the District AL
coholic Beverage Control Board to
appear before his committee If they
have found any need to strengthen
the enforcement machinery Of the
control board.
Il will be glad to have the chair
man or other members of the board
or the Commissioners, come before
the District Committee, Senator
McCarran said IF they can prove
the need for help in the enforcement
matter, am sure Congress will re-
spond."
This suggestion was a sequel to a
conference Thursday between ABC
off1cials and Chairman Van Mugs of
the Senate committee investigating
the national liquor situation during
which lack of certain enforcement
powers was cited as among the
boards greatest problems.
One District official explained last
night the principal difficulty was
lack of enough ABC inspectors to
make prompt and detailed checkup
on the larger imports of liquor for
retail use here. to determine If all
the liquor is properly tax-stamped.
This was described as having q
relation to the reported or suspected
diversion of Washington liquor sup
plies to other localities.
The ABC Board now has only
three inspectors on its own staff
The District spokesman said this
number was not sufficient to meet
the current problem. While the
Metropolitan Police are available for
assignment to work with the board
such men ordinarily are given the
task of checking on general condi-
tons in licensed places rather than
to make studies of the books OF
licensees as to tax evasion or diver
sion, 1t was explained,

RENDEZVOUS CHAPTER K

The footsteps accentuated the mysterious and adventurous quail ties of the situation. Beth gathered herself up slowly into as compact a mass as possible. and stayed as close to the sandy soil as she could A few minutes before. she had thought the shrubbery hid her. Now she wished she could be sure.
 The footsteps were soft padded crunches on the beach. They con- trasted with the beat of the wave lets and the soft, running sound of the water as it reached up the sloping beach and then rolled back to the bay again.
 The footsteps came nearer. They were not so rapid now. Beth could see human figure in the moon- light. It was that of a man in uni form-the cut of the clothing was unmistakable. He seemed to be hesitant and acted almost as though he were afraid of being ob- served. He stopped on the beach between Beth and the seaplane and watched the flying boat for a moment.
 Beth heard him whistle. His back was to her. She knew now that he was not only a member of the armed forces, but that he was commissioned officer. for the moonlight was reflected by his collar ornaments.
 He whiStled again. There was activity of some sort-Beth could

she was at fault?
 She remembered how he had made such a point of changing the safe combination, yet letting her know the new one. Did he suspect her, and was he laying a trap for her?
 After all, she reflected, he knew nothing about her before they had met in General Tallicoes head quarters. She was just another WAAC to him, and he admittedly knew nothing of WAACs at all A young woman playing at being soldier, Brit had said.
 Beth looked back down the beach, There was nothing of human shape or form to be seen, nor was there any human edifice. The camou- flage was more complete by night than by day. No light showed, no sound was audible though this last was because of the distance, and not because of any prohibition against making ordinary sounds.
 The white top of the surf, the clean sand the curve of the beach these were part of this Shangri- Lal It was more beautiful than she had dreamed.
 Beth's position was cramped, So she shifted slightly She heard some native noise she guessed it was nightbird's call - back in the islands jungle, which began just behind her and increased in thickness the farther it receded from the beach.
 A half hour elapsed. The light appeared again for second on the seaplane door was opened briefly, then closed. Three persons entered the boat and it moved slowly toward the beach.
 When it reached the beach, Beth saw that the trio was the same that had gone out-Lita, Rick, and Brit. The two men were almost the same height, but Rick was easily distinguishable because he was wearing whites.
 Brit got out first.
 Thanks for the taxi" he said.
 Then he walked up the beach a few yards, looked around, and turned back.
 Come on. Everything's clear
 Lita stepped from the boat, and then Rick. Rick dropped a weight which was attached by a rope to the bow of the boat
 T think your plan is an excel lent one" Lita said, her voice full of confidence. I'm eager to help execute it."

 Then he called softly but clear ly
 "Lita," he whispered and now Beth felt sickening sensation paralyze her soul "Lita, it's Brit
 Just minute, Brit, Lita called back.
 Tn less than a minute small' boat was launched. In it were a man and a woman, the man plying the oars eXpertly.
 What do you want?" Lita Dan- ton asked
 q want to talk to you .. alone,' Brit Jackson said.
 He entered the boat and the three returned to the seaplane For an instant light went on, and then it was blacked out by the drawing of a blind.
 Beth's mind was in turmoil. She tried to review what had hap pened during the day. No wonder Brit would not believe anything wrong of Lita, he apparently had complete confidence in her. The thought hurt, hurt terribly. Beth wanted to get up and run away from her thoughts, but she could not. The seaplane held more faS- cination for her now than it had before.
 I'm spying on my commanding officer" she told herself. q have no right to do that"
 She watched the seaplane with fixed gaze as it rocked gently on the tide.
 She wondered what was being said behind that drawn curtain. She found herself wondering what the interior of the seaplane was like, Then her mind reverted to the lost directive. Had Brit known where it was all along? Did it ever even exist? Was Beth being framed? No, no, no her heart shouted at her reason. Everything would be all right! She must have faith Then she was calm again. Was Brit laying trap? Of course his purpose was honest. But whom did he suspect? Suppose that the directive really was lost during the daytime. Did Brit still believe
