to March Field without STOP
Bill glanced up at the Jap. ''Forty-two
can't get in here now"
The brown face frightened. Il know better.
1t can land''
STARING past the Jap, Bill looked at Penny,
sitting in the chair at the work tables end.
She sat tensed, her hands gripping the chair
seat Her desperate eyes f1icked toward the
table drawer and he understood. But he could
mt open it to get at the revolver. His mind
groped for some other way.
There had been only the boom and crackle
came in 1t was faint still some distance off.
Army Forty-two to Needle Rock. Coming
in for landing Are your lights on?''
Bill saw the slant eyes of the japanese smile
family as he ordered, Bring him in!''
For an instant they we're both looking at
the radio, and neither of them saw the girl
move The lunge of her tensed body was like
a spring released But it was her wild sharp
cry, more than her light weight striking
against the Jap. that jerked him around In
that split second, Bill saw his chance.
He grabbed left-handed at the Japs gun,
rising, caught it and struck a blow into the
mans soft middle with his right fist. The Jap
doubled Bill tripped him and they went onto
the floor, struggling for the gun, with Penny
hitting at the fiat brown face. They rolled
over once Bill got his right hand free again.
All his strength was in swing at the Jap's
bony chin Sudden pain shot into his knuckles.
But the mans head jolted crookedly. His
body went limp.
Bill gasped, Keep down from the window,
Penny! Out of sight!' His heart was pound
ing, his mind was racing, thinking of the man
down in the car.
He saw coil of rope used on the flagpole,
grabbed it and was about to tie their prisoner
when his eyes dropped to the Jap's black hat
on the floor To Penny he said hoarsely.

sight the overcast and visibility. 1t was
almost sundown, and golden haze lay across
the desert. But the eastern sky was great
red mushroom.
'Sandstorm," said Penny Our teletype
line in that direction has been dead for half
an hour don't like it,"
Think we'll get the storm here?" Bill
asked There was no sign OF it yet The wind

She only shrugged and went inside He
followed, to type his weather report, west
bound 1t couldn't 60, as she'd said to the
east Through the boom of static pilots
voice came in: "ATC Thirty passing Needle
Rock. Report me to Burbank please"
Needle Rock to ATC Thirty -. wilco,"
Bill said, using the airways code word for

''HEY!' the pilot voice came back. Where's
Penny"
She's leaving Needle Rock" Bill said
"Ah nuts" The pilot said and cut out
Bill grinned at Penny, sitting in chair
Yes, have"
DO they ever land?"
Sometimes they do"
Il see" He turned back to work. Those
boys were pilots, in uniform, the kind she
could admire - though she'd never said so.
Once, before they'd parted, she'd said hotly
Bill. be yourself! 1t would take more than

to know that" But She d been going out with
plenty of them, and he couldn't help the way
he'd felt
Evening traffic became heavy. Opening a
drawer in the table to get pad of paper, he
glanced inside, then shut it. He wrote long
message for the teletype. In a few minutes,
when a lull came, he opened the drawer
again and lifted out the revolver. Looking at
Penny, he asked, why the cannon?'
She was standing close to window, star
ing out. "Oh, just in case
In case of what?'
She didn't answer, and then from loud
speaker voice was calling Needle Rock.

Bill put the gun away, and pushed
switch. The fields boundary lights and those
in the room flashed on. The next instant he
felt the tower shake as if struck by something
solid A sudden pressure of wind came flrst
followed in moment by sand. 1t beat against
the windows and blurred the field lights out
in the dark. There was work now. He didn't
forget the revolver. but it was pushed into
the back of his mind as he teetyped the storm
warning westward, received orders for re-
routing planes and made his contacts with
those pilots in the air.
The Job gripped him. This was the real thing.
He wasn't aware of Penny for while. until

course it's something special She turned
abruptly. I'm going down and stretch my
legs If you get anything from Forty-two let
me know. He's scheduled to land. Well want
to telephone into town for truck"
A gust of wind swept the room as she
opened and closed the door. Things we're hap
pening The rising sandstorm was like flood
that had broken the orderly flow of traffic
on highway. The clattering teletype un-
rolled its endless tape with printed orders
changing routes. asking for weather, relaying
messages that were to be tossed up by radio
to pilots coming within the Needle Rock zone.
Bill Wheeler sat glued to his instruments,
his brown hair moist and rumpled. He could
see now why Penny loved this job. You were
part of something big 1t even made him
feel different about himself, not useless any
more. In the moments when he could think
of her he was ashamed of his talk little while
ago. What if she did have someone special .
this Army Forty-two. She wasn't girl that
men were going to pass up. A sudden thought
jolted through him desperately. When she
left here at midnight tonight she might be
going out of his life this time for keeps
The work held him. He didn't know how
long she'd been gone when he began to feel
uneasy about her Then the door opened, let
ting in a rush of dusty air.
Busy, he said without looking back, About
time, Penny. was getting worried She
didn't answer Bill turned his head around.
His heart stopped his blood felt like ice.
Two men stood behind her with guns in their
hands Penny's face was white. Then things
were suddenly clear to him . the reason for
the revolver in the table drawer, and why she
was being moved from this post North of
here was an internment camp for Japanese -
the dangerous ones. A week ago four had es-
capped. Two had been captured near the Mexi
can border; the othershad not been found. The
men standing behind Penny now were Japs.
Stepping around her, one ordered, Keep
away from the radio' His English was good.
Both wore khaki trousers, black coats and
black hats you will understand, he went
on, that. we are familiar with your instru-
ments. My friend with me is an airplane pilot.
So please make no mistake
Bill looked into Penny's frantic eyes. She
was trying to tell him something.
'You have plane" the Jap said flight
Forty two, landing here tonight"
"Yeah?" Bill watched the gun pointed at
him. you know more about it than l do
then"
That may be true Our information is very
accrrate Yo1 will bring FOrtv-tWo into this
field" The Jap stepped back, still pointing
the gun and spoke to the other behind Penny
in his own tongue. That one opened the door
and disappeared
To Penny, the one left with them said, ''St

goes on, that fellow will know something's
wrong. I'm going down. " He put on the black
coat and hat He'd look like Jap himself
now, in the dark.
Penny caught his arms. you mean you're
going -. |"
He touched her face. Don't you worry
about me-" He took what was left of the coil
of rope, the Jap's gun, and started down.
In the dusty darkness he could make out
the white generator shack, but couldn't see
the car parked in its shelter on the far side.
He slipped across the open space and eased
his head past the buildings corner. The cars
rear end was toward him. Then he saw the
glow of a cigarette in the front seat.
Crouching, he crept forward until the cars
door handle was above his head. He reached
up suddenly and jerked it open.
His gun stabbed at the Jap inside. Don't
move! And keep your hands up!"
HERE was an instant when he thought the
man was going to make suicidal try. The
cigarette dropped from his gaping mouth.
Then slowly his hands rose.
"Okay," Bill said, stepping back. Come
out Turn your back to me and lie down fiat!'
The rest was quickly done. Penny was at

In a moment he could hear the planes

Sirs: Three representatives of the
Negro Chamber of Commerce met
with the executive committee of the
Jackson Chamber regarding import
ant problems affecting Jackson
Negroes on which they desired the

In the belief that a committee of
interested and able representatives
of the Chamber of Commerce could
fill a real need the executive COM
mittee be authorized to meet with
Representatives of the Negro Cham
Der when important inter-racial
problems developed.
Subsequently the Board of Di-
rectors considered the proposal of
the Executive Committee and
adopted it, authorizing me to ap-
point such a committee. In ap-
pointing this committee I have
conferred with the chairman, Major
Wells, and we agree that the COM
mittee should not be a large one
but be available to meet with rep

when necessary. A recommendation
is being sent to the Negro Chamber
to the affect that w. H. Williams,
