not supposed TO talk and during
the intermissions she could prop
erly evade or resent any personal
line of conversation.
But Shakespeare, master Of
the theatre. has shown how it
may be used TO betray a guilty
conscience.
When Hamlet wanted TO see if
his stepfather was the murderer
OF Hamlet's father he got the
atrical company to stage a play
in which one scene reproduced
the murder Of which he suspected
the king.
The theatre seats Mccoy
bought were in the orchestra
close TO the stage. He sat next
to Mrs. Kaber, and by the par
tial light from the stage stealth
lily watched her face.
AS the murder scene APP
preached. and she sensed what
was coming, Mrs. Kaber showed
signs of uneasiness, then became
visibly disturbed. In the scene of
the stabbing, she actually covered
her eyes.
II was what Mccoy had been
waiting to see. Her strong re-
action might have meant only
that the scene reminded her of

said. Then to- Mrs. Kaber, ITS
Jack Mccoy, my Jack"
The man who came up was
tall, rugged, handsome, about
thirty-five, dashing in dress and
manner. He was one of the most
skillful detectives in the Agency
and had been well rehearsed in
New York for his present role.
He threw his arms about Mrs.
Smith who introduced him to
Mrs. Kaber. He invited the wo-
men to have dinner with him.
There's a Broadway produc-
ton in town." he said. land on
the chance you'd like to see it,
I bought tickets"
Mrs. Kaber was in the mood
for recreation and thought that
Mr.. McCoy's choice of entertain
ment was haphazard. 1t was
not. We knew that this play
was coming to Pittsburgh and
we built on that because the big
scene was a murder committed
by stabbing.
No doubt, if Mrs. Kaber had
any misgivings about this man,
she must have felt sure that he
would not try TO get any infor-
nation out of her at the theatre.
During the performance one is

the way her husband was killed.
If she was not only innocent Of
murder but had even loved him,
she might still want to shut out
that scene on the stage.
But Mccoy had been watching
her eyes. They were wide with
a look that was anything but the
light of love, an exaltation that
did not come from the play. a
last that was not Of the senses.
No court Of law would have adj
mitted that look as proof OF
guilt, but for Mccoy it was like
a sudden glimpse into a mind
black with hatred.
After theatre, Mccoy sug-
gested a night club but Mrs.
Kaber went straight TO her hotel.
Mrs. Smith returned with her.
In their room it was Mrs. Smith
who seemed the more agitated
OF the two.
Eva, she burst out, what
shall I do about my husband? I
can't live without Jack! If I
were single we'd marry. But
my husband won't divorce me.
He's standing between me and
the only life l want. You've got
to tell me what to do"
Mrs. Kaber looked at her

"a The-eaRtain of the [

III A BANDON SHIP"
~ e-eaPtaih Of the-ter--
y y pedoed merchant ship,
standing on the bridge, beloved
out the order through a mega
phone and the crew piled into
the lowering lifeboats.
Five minutes later the ship,
bleeding oil from its torpedo
wound, reared up at the stern
and then slid beneath the waves.
The haf-dozen lifeboats bobbed
like corks on the rough sea.
Two hours later the lifeboats,
unable 70 keep together because
Of the heavy winds. were many
miles apart. Yet eight hours
later, all the men were picked
up by a rescue ship.
Under ordinary circumstances.
the chances Of getting saved on
the vast and storm-tossed mid
Atlantic are remote. If one or
two boats are found il is con-
sidered lucky. To find them all
would be a miracle.
Yet this miracle is being per-
formed practically every day in
the Battle Of the Atlantic. The
device that has reversed the odds
on the dangers of drifting around
on the sea is robot radio which
sends out an automatic distress
signal from each lifeboat.
This signal device, invented by
Richard c. Hamilton. can be
operated without any knowledge
of wireless telegraphy. 1t has a
sending range of 500 miles and
can keep repeating its : n S mes
sage for q hours. 1t is SO built
that il can operate under water,
thus continuing TO send distress
calls from O half-submerged life
boat.
There have been other auto
matte devices for lifeboat in
stallation. but Hanilton's is diff
ferent in that not only does it
send out an S o S but tells the
boats position in latitude and
longitude as well, and gives the
cause Of the sinking.
Most of the other automatic
devices have only short range,
can repeat the message for only
a few minutes, and must be
operated by someone with a
knowledge Of biography.
With Hamilton's new robot
radio, all the seamcn have to do
is turn several pointers to the
message they want turned out,
and then throw the switch. The
automatic device does the rest
broadcasting for the next "a
hours.
With each lifeboat literally
shouting its respective position,
little difficulty is experienced by
the rescue ships in rounding up
all the men, scattered though
their craft may be.

always imagining he was i'll.
At the Agency's recommended
ton Mr.. Kaber's body was secret
" exhumed and the examining
physician reported traces of poi
son which had apparently been
administered In sufficient guam
tity to cause paralysis but not
death.
Now our probe was beginning
to strike something solid.
Our Agency asked Mrs. Smith
IL she would take on a special
and highly complicated assign
ment. We told her what it would
be and she was troubled.
I'm not an actress" she said.

Il won't know what TO say or

Wen write out your part"
"If something unexpected
comes up I'll betray myself"
wen rehearse you in the I'M

Finally she agreed to try. We
brought her 20 New York and
wrote out a scenario for her. We
rehearsed her. She lived days
and nights in the company of
one of our women agents who
acted the part of Mrs. Kaber.
We improvised all kinds of diff
ficulties that might come up be-
tween Mrs. Kaber and Mrs.
Smith. When we felt she was
ready, Mrs. Smith returned to
Cleveland.
She went 10 Mrs. Kaber. Eva,
I've done you an injustice" she
said. Il want your friendship
again-and your help. I'm in

said.
Then why don't you ?"
I'D have to trust you quite a
lot"
Don't you?"
There was no answer and with
out another word Mrs. Kaber
went TO bed. Mrs. Smith did
not make the mistake Of trying
TO pursue the point any further
at the moment. 1t was one Of
the times when one must not
try to reel in a fish.
Instead, Mrs. Smith sighed and
also went TO bed, pretending TO
go to sleep. After an hour or
two she did go to sleep. Mrs
Smith fortunately also possessed
the detectives sixth sense, which
made her awake for no apparent
reason and, without making a
move, see if anything was do
ing.
It was just dawn. Mrs. Kaber
was scribbling with pencil on
a pad by the window. Abruptly
she crumpled up what she had

Field Urges PetriI|o
To Modify Ban on
Broadcast Recording.
BY the Associated Press

BY the Associated Press
NEW YORK. Aug. Marshall
Field. president of the Philhar-
monic-Symphony Society of New
York. today indicated to James C.
Petrillo, president of the American
Federation of Musicians. that he
wished the latter would modify his
ban on broadcast recordings.
The Society desires" Mr.. Field
told Mr.. Petrillo in a letter, in
fact requires. the royalties from its
recordings in order to insure the
continuance of the orchestra which
you are proposing to borrow. The
other great symphonic orchestras of
this country are similarly situated.
Their very existence is threatened
by the loss of recording symphonies. -
Mr.. Petrillos AFL union had
asked permission to borrow the New
York Philharmonic Orchestra in
the unions announced plan to spend
at least S250,000, possibly $500 Geo,
to provide free concerts in small
cities of the United States. Mr.
Petrillo said President Roosevelt
had expressed desire for such con-
certs.
Field Makes Conditions.
Mr.. Field said he thought his
society would go along with the free
concert idea provided that it in
volved no cost 20 the society; that
cities on the tour oe approved BY
the society; that performances be
given in the orchestra S name: that
conductors chosen be approved by
the society-and that none of the
concerts be broadcast "or recorded
in any way
My plea to you" said Mr.. Field
in his letter, copies of which were
sent to heads of other large SYM
phony orchestraS in the country, "is
that you will Immediately lift your
ban on the recording of symphonic
music and by so doing contribute to
the availability Of symphonic music
throughout this country in a man.
ner that not even your proposed
concerts can accomplish.
Necessary for Morale.
We have the word of the Army
and Navy officers, as we'll as civilian
officials in Washington, that the
continuance of recording is necessary
for the maintenance of military
and civilian morale, one of the pri-
mary purposes stated by you for
your own concerts"
Mr. Petrillo has prohibited mem
bers of his union helping make mu-
sical recordings for broadcast use on
the ground they cause unemploy-
ment among musicions. He could
not be reached immediately for
comment on Mr. Fields letter.
