Civil Service SEEKING

in many instances where the 10y
atty of individuals has been ques-
toned, they have been held in abey-
ance so the employe whose loyalty
has been questioned remains on the
payroll several months and in many
cases up to four years before deci-
sions were made" Mr.. Rees asserted.
He further charged that the Civil
Service Commission failed to re-
move people from Federal jobs even
in "clear-cut cases of disloyalty."
Mr.. Rees, who was member OF
the special House subcommittee
which investigated subversive activi-
ties in the Government. called on
the House TO authorize thorough
inquiry into the entire problem. He
disagreed with the subcommittee S
majority conclusion that a special
interdepartmental commission be
created to investigate conditions.
The subcommittee made its recon-
mendations in a report which
pointed out that the group had made
only a cursory study and said that
further investigation was needed.
Cites Hiring of Jacobson.
Declaring that Federal agents in
the past had attempted to study
the problem and had failed to
accomplish anything, Mr.. Rees said
that only action by Congress could
achieve the desired results.

CONCLUSION

TNsUsPECTNC, and more than little
u elated. Mardok followed Evelyn as she
led the way through the garden to steep
rock-stair in the cliff. In a tiny cove at the
foot of this, there was small boat which
had belonged to Admiral Roscoe.
Evelyn remembered something the Admiral
had told her about the entrance to the Blue
Grotto. She looked at the sky. The wind
was still light, but it was now clearly blowing
from the north. The boat was fitted with an
auxiliary motor, and Mardok pronounced it
to be in working order. In five minutes, with
Evelyn at the tiller and Mardok acting as
engineer, they had set off at great pace
across the strait of dark blue sea, and in
very short time they were rocking under the
tall cliffs of Capri.
Mardok did not know the island well, and
Evelyn had deliberately steered for point
not far from the small and difficult sea-
Evening star., 1946-03-17

entrance to the Blue Grotto. She noticed with
satisfaction that two other small boats were
obtainable at no great distance Their own
boat was large for the cramped and low-arched
passage into that amazing sea cavern; but
by crouching level with the gunwale and duck
ing their heads, they were just able to ferry
it through with their hands.
Even so, the slight swell of the water, when
they were halfway through, Jared and splin-
tered a rowlock against the top of the rocky
vault. The next moment, they were floating
in the jeweled twilight inside the cave The
greater part of the arch through which they
had entered lay under the water Evelyn's
eyes remained fixed on this low-arched en-
trance. She was watching for something; a
close observer might have noticed that her
face ightened little when the slight swell
of the sea momentarily filled the opening.
you will keep your promise" Mardok
was saying. ''You will dive for me?"
Tell me first" she said, something about

your travels after our escape from the diving
bell. How did you get to Berlin and Moscow,
alone?"
He launched into description of his ad-
ventures on that journey, and she led him on
with hero-worshipping questions, hanging on
his answers as though enthralled, as though
admiring him for the dangers through which
he had passed.
At last, after another glance at the en-
trance, she remarked, "And you began to
look for me again only when you had discov
cred that there was nobody else
HE LAUGHED his low grating laugh, but he de-
MED the charge. Il am quite sure there are 9TH
ers," he said, but they will be few and isolat-
ed, as you were isolated. But about you, had
made up my mind from the beginning, and
never had the faintest intention of losing you.'
Her eyes were fixed on the entrance Dur
ing the last minute it had been filled three
times in quick succession.

here" he said You can I put me OH any
longer"
"I'm quite ready" she replied, and sud-
denly stood up. Before he could speak. she
had dived neatly toward the entrance, and
swimming deeply under the water, disappeared
through the luminous arch.
It was several seconds before Mardok
grasped the fact that he had not only been
fooled but trapped. Even if the boat, re-
lieyed of her weight. had not now been riding
several inches higher, it would have been i'm
possible to get through the sea-choked pas
sage.
In his furious anger he tried to do it,
during momentary subsistence of the swell,
but the next moment the bow of his boat was
heaved and crashed against the rocky vault
with 50 many crunchings and splinterings
that he was afraid of foundering altogether.
For poor swimmer like himself there was no
way out until the sea subsided and the wind
changed He was prisoner in the Blue
Grotto. 1t was only temporary imprison-
ment, but it might last for hours.
ALTHOUGH Mark thought that the little in
dentation on the card he had picked up was
probably sign from Evelyn that she would
try to escape to Assist, he could not be sure,
and he felt that it would be unwise to over
look, on his search for her. any place where
she might be. Therefore he drove first to
Admiral Roscoe's house at Sorrento.
At the entrance, he noted the tracks of a
large car which had turned in. but no sign
that it had come out again Mark left his own
car at the gate. drew his revolver and went
quietly up the drive.
A big car - powerful Alata was stand
ing in front of the door. but search of the
house revealed no one inside, and there was
no clue to Evelyn's whereabouts.
Before he left, Mark appropriated the
Admiral's binoculars. Now he went up to the
cliff promontory, under the flagstaff, from
which he could see long stretches of the coast
in each direction, as well as long strips of the
road along the coast.
HE SCANNED these closely and then
more by accident than design - looked across
the sea toward Capri. Half way across, to
his amazement, he saw a small sailboat NOV
ing towards him. To the naked eye it was
almost invisible, but through the glasses he
could see the foam crisping round the bow
The curve of the sail concealed the occupant
or occupants. The fact that the boat was head

combined speeds of the two boats had brought
them within hailing distance. Evelyn turned
up INTO the wind. and Mark came alongside

to scramble into Marks boat, which was the
larger and faster.
She sat shivering in the fold of his arm, as
though chilled to the bone by her wet clothes;

 His decision not to He a formal demand for an inquiry was made at the recommendation Of American Ambassador Lincoln McVeagh and British Ambassador Sir Clifiord Norton.
