met at the earliest practical mo-
ment, in providing comparable
services as now enjoyed by the
citizens of Wilmington and promis-
ed by the city council in its pre-
sentation of facts to the public in

After considerable discussion as
to the exact information needed
and the financial sources, Wadesfn-
corporated into his motion the bl-
lowing clause:
"And further that the funds
amounting to $4,000 presently ap'
propriated in the budget be reallo.
Gated as required in order to fur
nish the services promised the new
area"
Continuing, the city board adopt
ed motion advanced by Council
man Robert S. LeGwin authorizing
CITY Attorney William B. Campbell
to confer with qualified bonding at
torneys and to activate ma
chinery necessary for a special
bond election as early as feasible,
to provide necessary facilities in
the new areas.
At the suggestion of Campbell,
Wade moved that City Manager A.
C. Nichols be authorized to provide
labor and acquire materials and
equipment essential to provide the
promised facilities.
An unsuccessful effort was made
by Wade to add to his motion the
provision that where humanity
possible that consideration first be
given to the hiring of help and the
purchase of material so that in
carrying out these mandates of
the council Wilmington firms and
local people might benefit and that
these expenditures might be kept
at home as far as possible"
Failing to receive council sup
port, Wade advanced another mo-
ton to the effect that "the City
council requests the City manager
in the expenditure Of funds and
the hiring of help that all funds be
expended in the interest of our
local people, including the hiring
Of labor, as far as it is humanity
possible to do So"
Wade's amendment did not re-
ceive second.

MAGAZINE STATES
FBI TIPPED OFF

NEW YORK, Nov. 7-W.P)- Two
of eight Nazi saboteurs landed in
the United States from submarines
during the war tipped off the plot
of Germany's major sabotage eff
fort, the magazine Newsweek re.
ported today.
One of the informants, George
Dasch, was promised a Presi.
dental pardon in return for his
help, but he still is held in Atlanta
penitentiary, the magazine said.
Both Dasch and Ernest Peter
Burger decided before they left
Europe that they would betray the
sabotage plot as soon as they
reached America, the article said
Dasch was said to have telephonec
the FBI the night after he landed
and to have conferred with Fedora
agents for five days.
"Within six days after the sa
boteurs had landed on Long Is
land, the FBI knew the whole plo'
thanks to Dasch," Newsweel
said.
The testimony at the sabotage
trials was kept secret, but accord
ing to Newsweek the now-revealec
trial record said:
"a proposal was made to Dascf
that he plead guilty x x it wa:
part of the proposal that Xxx sew
eral months after the case had dice
down the FBI would obtain {
Presidential pardon for him.
Newsweek said no such propose
was made to Burger, who wa:
said to have left purposely clear
Unmarked trail behind him after hi
landed.
Two other Germans who landed
with Dasch and Burger on Long
Island on June IS, 1912, and foul
others who landed four days later
in Florida were executed. Dasct
was given 30 years in prison anc

CHAPTER SEVENTEEN

THE HALL was deserted the
next afternoon as Terry came down
the stairs. Then she heard voices
drifting out from the library. She
stepped lightly and stood in the
open door. Neither Raft nor the
baroness had heard her.
Il tell you I'm busy" Raft was
saying.
The baroness chucked him under
the chin.
Listen, tall blond and mascu-
line" the baroness was saying.
Don't give me that. All I want is
for you to play one hand of Rus
sian Bank and then you can go
back to your internal draWing."
yes, you are definitely a bad
influence" Terry said lightly. III
bet you've left an army of broken
men in your wake. Always drag
ging them away from their work"
The baroness turned, looking a
little startled.
"Oh, it's you." she said. "All you
need, dearie, is a whip and a han
dlebar muStache to be the perfect
slave driver. In my day young peo-
pie were only interested in fun. My
stars, how the world has gone tc

maybe it's just the idea Of fun
that's changed" Raft said. 'To me
this is fun"
Il tell you the man is out of his
head" the baroness moaned.
Raft threw down his pencil anG
slid from the stool at his drawing
stand.
II wouldn't do this for anyone
hut YOU" he said. "And remember
just one hand"
All three walked out onto the ter
race where a group Of towering ole
trees threw a nice pool of shade
around metal tables and chairs. The
baroness took a deck Of cards from
her handbag and shuffled them

0obbed up at the far end of the
pool.

Raft walked slowly to the end OF
the diving board.

never show up again"
Raft said, you just can't win an

With that he dove, cutting the
mirror-like water like knife. They

went to dress for dinner. When

in the living room. Jime sat by the
window knitting and the baroness
was tiuttering about large pack

Terry's hand and led her to a chair.

whats all this about?" Terry
asked.
ITS the present Senor Artigas
promised me that afternoon in
town" the baroness explained.
How exciting" Terry cried. IT'S
large enough to be almost any
thing"
The baroness started to unite the
string.
Il hope 1t isn't another mink
coat" she Winked. HE knows my
weakness for mink"
When the outer paper was torn
away it revealed large, unpainted
wooden box. Slowly the baroness
slipped off the cover, then her face
fell in dismay. She picked a note
from the top and started reading
aloud:
This, my sweet, will keep you
busy for days and days, 80 you will
have no time to bother busy men
at their Offices"
Il still don't know what 1t is,"
Terry said.
Half under her breath the baro-
ness was muttering, "That old goat.
I'll get even with him some day,
if it takes the rest of my natural
life. Imagine sending me compli.
Gated jig-saw puzzle!"
After dinner everyone gathered
around the radio awaiting Brooks
speech. At exactly 9 O'Clock he
started to speak, Terry was amazed
at the deep timbre of his voice on
the air, the magnetism that it car
ried. When he was finished no one
spoke for a minute. Terry glanced
over at Jime and saw the moistness
shining in her eyes. Finally Raf1
said, "He sounds like he's been do.

Travel Exempt
From Convention Ban
President Of BROWNS
Says Major Leagues
To Operate This Year

MIAMI, Fla, Jan. Is P =
Don Barnes, president of the st.
Louis Browns, expressed the be-
lief today that major league base
ball will operate this year.
II don't believe the handful OF
4Fs connected with the game
would help end the war any soon
err" he said.
However, if the Government
feels that they will, or that shut
ting down of the game will hasten
the end Of the war, then baseball
men will be willing to close up. %
Barnes said he believed baseball
played an important part in the
morale at home and overseas.
Il am OF the opinion that if the
fate of baseball was put to a vote
of the servicemen in the war the.
aters, they'd vote for it to con-
tinue,'' he said.
Baseball does not contribute
to absenteeism. All but IL of our
home games next season are
scheduled for nights or holidays. -
Barnes, who is vacationing near
here, says he believes that the
Government will do Is it thinks
best and that baseball will accept
the verdict like a good soldier.
