RT WAS just before school was out
for the day when Miss Crane
turned from the blackboard and
barely noticed out of the corner OF an
eye that Jack Russell had tossed
note onto Jan Vanek's desk in front
of him.
A lot of things flashed through
Miss Cranes head as she busted
chalk powder from her fingers and
returned slowly to her desk.
Ordinarily she might have over
looked it; but Miss Crane knew that
it was the time to take fresh stand
on discipline.
Not that she was a strict disci-
plinarian; there probably wasn't
more popular grade-school teacher in
town. But these sixth-graders could
be devilish when they wanted to.
They knew she was getting married
Saturday, and that next week, while
she and Bill snatched a short honey

So, in anticipation. their behavior
had already started to loosen up.
Miss Crane made her decision -
though with twinge of regret, be-

THERE was a hint of terror in
JAMS eyes when he turned to Jack
Russell, behind him. The other boys
mouth was pressed into a straight
line, his eyes coldly searching Jams.
Jan turned again to face Miss Crane,
speechless. He couldn't give her the
note. He couldn't.
Jan -. r. Miss Cranes voice
was sharp.
Jan looked at the boy beside him,
the girl on the other side. They
avoided him. There was panic in his
face now. He shook his head strong
ly, negatively.
Miss Crane was incredulous. Jan
was the politest boy in the class. He
had been in America only a year,
and he seemed to love school with

resentation question was decided.
Union Complies.
The union instituted proceedings
within the allotted time, but the
company continued to refuse to
continue the contract. In the mean
while, the concern also started
suit in District Court to prevent
enforcement Of the board order
This suit, incidentally, supplement-
ed three others instituted by the
company against the board involv-
ing contractual disputes.
Again the board ordered compli-
ance, and when the company re-
NAMED adamant and strike broke
out, the issue was referred to Presi-
dent Roosevelt.
The President, on Sunday, ordered
the employees back to work and
directed Mr.. Avery to obey the WLB
The strikers went back, but the
company held out, and the seizure
resulted: just 26 hours after the
deadline for settlement fixed by the
President.
The next scheduled development
will come In Chicago Saturday
morning, when the Labor Relations
Board has set hearing to decide If
the bargaining election ordered by
the WLB is to be held, and to name

eminent officials and American
Army officers tossed all red tape
aside to speed a blind American pri-
vate and his English bride to ths
United States before the ban on
travel from England became effec-

Pvt. Otto Huttunen, 80, of War

May are on their way home by plane
In style which neither ever an
ticipated-and the speedy trip cost
neither of them a cent.
Pvt. Huttunen was blinded in
North Africa by mine explosion
and brought to a hospital in Eng

whom he had never seen, and she
with him. But his troubles began
when he started to take her home
with him.
1t. Edward Gilgan, Brooklyn, got
busy, and yesterday had Pvt. Hut
tunen put aboard an Army transport

The Senate Banking Committee,
satisfied that price control should
be extended but far from unanimous
on details, today recalled Fred M.
vinson, director of economic stabil-
ization. for further enlightenment.
MIR. Vinson, who wants extension
voted without. any important
changes, may be the last major wit
ness before the committee closes the
hearings and settles down to thresh
out such things as food subsidies
and the effect Of price restrictions
OF business health.
Both matters were discussed yes
terday, Mr.. Vinson disaWeeing with
IA contention by Senator Taft, Re-
publican, of Ohio that the number
of established businesses had fallen
of steadily" in recent years; that
the price ceiling adjustments grant,
ed by the OPA in business hard
ship cases" had fallen short of jus
tice and that the administration
had approved wage raises without
permitting compensation to busi-
ness.
You are saying we have done too
tough job in price CONTROL" COM
mented Mr.. Vinson.

who gave as his general thesis that
we have to increase prices as long as
we increase wages"

Senator Hawkes., Republican, of
New Jersey has questioned repeat

such payments.

failed to override presidential veto
