Thomas puffed away at his pipe.
BY turning his head very slightly
he could look at Audrey. He noted
her grave absorbed face as she
stared across the water. The long
brown iashes that rested on the
pure line Of her cheek, the small
shell-like ear
That reminded him OF something.
"Oh, by the way, I've got your
earring-the one you lost last
night"
His fingers delved into his pocket.
Audrey stretched out a hand.

NO. 1t was near the stairs.
You must have lost it as you came
down to dinner. I noticed you

She took it. Thomas reflected
that it was rather a large barbaric
earring for so small an ear. The
ones she had on today were large,
too.
He remarked:

Of losing them ,"
"Oh. these are very cheap things.

She touched her left car. Thomas
remembered

with evident sincerity.

|Bidd|e 'sImpeachmenl
Over Bioif' S Release
| Demanded in House

Representative Smith, Republican,
Of Wisconsin today called for the
impeachment OF Attorney General
Biddle In statement appearing in
the Congressional Record. He based
his demand on the release from
prison OF George M. Browne, for
mer president Of the International
Alliance Of Theatrical Stage EN-
ployes, and William Bioff, Brownies S
former Hollywood representative.
Another attack on the release OF
Browne and Bion came from
Hollywood, where 600 movie union
members asked the Senate judiciary
Committee to investigate. The
union members adopted resolu-
ton calling the release of the two
men "a blow to honest labor leaders
and labor members"
The union men are members of
the Sound Technicians' Local of
the IATSE. They requested the
airing of all reasons and influ-
ences' that put these men 'back on
the street."
Two Turn lnfOrmers.
Browne and Bioff were released
last month after serving three
years OF their 8 and 10 year SEN
tences. They were convicted of ex-
tortlon in connection with a mil
Aon-dollar shakedown of movie
producers.
Mr. B1ddle, in statement reply
ing to Representative Smiths de-
mand for his impeachment, said
Browne and Bioff had turned in
formers and this enabled the Jus
tice Department to break up an
underworld gang in Chicago.
Therefore, when motion was
made by attorneys for Bioff and
Browne to reduce sentences of
these two informers, the Govern
ment interposed no objection" Mr..
Blddle declared. He said there was
no prior agreement or commit
ment by the Department of Justice
or any Of its representatives"
Mr.. Smith charged that the At
torney General few years ago
made deaF with Willie Bioff, a
professed panderer, and George
Browne, international president of
a union and an intimate of Capone
gangsters"
Now" Mr.. Smith declared, ito
the further astonishment of the
people, these crooks are given their
liberty after serving three soft
years"
Rehearing Denied.
Meanwhile, in Chicago, the United
States Court of Appeals denied a
petition for a rehearihg of the ap-
peal of six Chicago men convicted
with the assistance of Browne and
Bioff. The Government described
them as members of the former
Capone gang and in 1943 obtained
their conviction of conspiracy to
extort more than $1,000, 900 from
the motion picture industry under
threat of strikes.

Mr.. Ball contended that mo sud-

added:
IF the President needed Author
ity to enforce War Labor Board
orders, he could have sought such
authority from Congress. Instead,
he chose to assume that power him
self. The President proclaimed the
belief that he possesses the power,
without authorization of Congress,
to seize property at will.
Opposing attorneys agreed yester-

WPB Cancels Order
Cutting Chicago Sun 5
Newsprint Budget
By the Associated Press.


The War Production Board yes
terday set aside an order requiring
the Chicago Sun 10 reduce its nor
NAL consumption of newsprint by
1859 tons by the end of the third
quarter of 1945.
The board explained that the
suspension order would not be
equitable" because it had found the
Sun actually used less paper in the
second quarter of 1914 than it would
have been permitted to use by the
findings of an appeals board.
The boards statement said:
During the second quarter of
1914, the Sun consumed 1868 tons
OF newsprint in excess of quota es-
tablished by WPB's Printing and
Publishing Division, subject to re-
view by the Appeals Board of WPB.
This quota was later found by the
Appeals Board to have been too
small a quantity for the Chicago
Sun. The newspaper did not COM
mence publication until December,
1941, and hence had no quota estab-
lished under provision of 'WPB'S
general newspaper limitation order
LAO.
Because the Appeal Boards deci-
sion re-established the Suns quota
on a higher basis, the chief compli-
ance commissioner (Walter Foster)
concluded that a suspension order
based on the Suns earlier paper
quota would not be equitable. Later
developments showed that the Sun
actually used less paper in the sec
ond quarter of 1914 than it would
have been permitted to use under
the amount that the Appeals Board
found to be the newspapers equita-
BILE share.
"A stay of the suspension orders
terms was granted the Chicago
newspaper November IA, and subse-
queSt review of the case by Mr., Fos-
ter has resulted in the suspension
orders revocation" WPB said.
The Chicago Sun made public here
IN connection with the action ex-
cerpts from memorandum to Mar
shall Field, publisher of the news
paper, by Mr. Foster.
Mr.. Foster wrote if part:
I'm the light of the decision of
the Appeals Board it cannot now be
said that the usage of print paper
by the Sun during the second quar-
ter of 1914 impeded the war effort
inasmuch as the usage was less than
It's quota would have been if

established by the Appeals Board"
