SATURDAY,

(AFD, asked for a national dem
onstration of unity similar to that
demonstrated by the different
unions at the rally in order that
Congress may be prevented from
torpedoing the American people
with "emasculating amendments
to the OPA bill.
Henry Beitscher, chairman OF
Washington Industrial Union Coun-
Gil (CIO), pointed out that the
meeting was the first combined
union get-together without med
iator," adding it was time to join
hands when the beachhead of de-
preston was being established in
the United States"
Donald Murray, national legisla-
tive representative of the United
Public Workers of America, de-
scribed the issue at stake as being
a question Of whether or not you
can get along on half of what you

Weak Price Control
Bill 10 Be Vetoed,
Pepper Tells Rally

Senator Pepper, Democrat, oi
Florida predicted last night that
President Truman would veto any
weak price control bill produced by
Congress, emphasizing this would
be a just means of making 1t clear
to the country who destroyed OPA.'
1.-THE President has the courage
to veto" any unsatisfactory measure
Senator Pepper declared, adding
that adjournment of Congress atop
such action would send the legisla-
tors "home to explain to the people
why we have imitation"
Senator Pepper addressed rally
in the Interior Department Audito-
rum sponsored by local labor unions
for the purpose of saving OPA and
defeating antilabor legislation. About
500 persons at the meeting voted
adoption of resolution calling for
extension of the Price Control Act
without nullifying amendments
for a year beyond June 80, with a
sufhcient appropriation to carry on
effectively"
Urged to Hold Price Line.
The resolution, copies of which
were sent to the President, all
members of Congress and all Fed
eral departments, also asked OPA
to minimize the lifting of price
ceilings by its own action and to
vigorously hold the price line which
seems to be breaking in spots"
Senator Pepper drew loud ap-
plause with speech in which he
denounced Congress for seeming
lack of interest in the poor man
and for "hysterical" action in its
haste to draft antistrike legislation
during the railroad dispute.
Asserting that there is no truly
liberal party today" Senator Pepper
called for a demonstration at the
polls this fall of the peoples will
to maintain the promise Of the
highest standard of living and the
longest peace ever known to man
which the war gave u.s."
He said the country is riding the
twin horses of reaction and isola-
tionism to the same depression
which followed the world War"

doesn't count the nights he spends
on reading the reports from Army

eonfronts the committee on which
he serves. He might have taken
another overseas trip to investigate

appointed, so the work went on.

ia sustained by his conviction that
the Pearl Harbor Investigation Is,
OF vital importance TO the future

CHAPTER THrRTY.oNn

THOMAS ROYDE came last. He
sat solemn and sta. blinking q lit
tie like an owl.
He was home from Malaya-nrst
time for eight years. Had been in
the habit Of staying at Cults Point
ever since he was a boy. Mrs. Au-
drey Strange was q distant cousin
and had been brought up by his
family from the age Of nine. On
the preceding night he had gone to
bed Just before IL Yes. he had
heard Mr.. Neville Strange leave the
house, but had not seen him. Neville
had left at about twenty past ten,
or perhaps a little later. He himself
had heard nothing during the night.
He was up and in the garden when
the discovery OF Lady Tressilian's
body had been made. He was an
early riser.
There was a pause.
Miss Adm has told US there was
state Of tension in the house. Did
you notice this too ?"
Il don't think SO. Don't notice
things much"
That's a lie," thought Battle to
himself. you notice a good deal, l
should say-more than most"
No, he didn't think Neville
Strange had been short OF money
In any way. He certainly had not
seemed so. But he knew very little
about Mr.. Strange's affairs.
How well did you know the sec
ond Mrs. Stranger"
Il met her here for the nrst
time"
Battle played his last card.
you may know, Mr.. Royde, that
we've found Mr.. Neville Strange's
fingerprints on the weapon. And
we've found blood on the sleeve Of
the coat he wore last night"
He paused. Royde nodded.
HE was telling u.s." he muttered.
I'm asking you frankly: Do you
think he did it?"
Thomas Royde never liked to be
hurried. He waited for a minute
which is very long time-before
he answered:
Don't see why you ask me Not
my business. It's yours. Should say
myself-very unlikely"
Can you think OF anyone who
seems to you more likely?"
Thomas shook his head.
"Only person I think likely can't
possibly have done 1t. So that's
that"
And who Is that!"
But Royde shook his head more
decidedly.
Couldn't possibly say. Only my
private opinion"
TITS your duty to assist the po-
lice"
Tell you any facts. This Isn't
fact Just idea. And It's impossible,
anyway"
I'VE didn't get much out OF him."
said Leach when Royde had gone.
Battle agreed.
mo. we didn't He's got some
thing in his understanding quite
definite. I'd like to know what 1t is.
This Is very peculiar sort Of
crime, Jim, my boy"
The telephone rang before Leach
could answer. He took up the re-
ceiver and spoke. After a minute or
two Of listening he said, Good"
and slammed 1t down.

Battle had walked over to the
window and was looking out with
considerable interest.

Battle came over and took the
phone. He listened, his face as usual
showing no expression He said to
Leach:
Get Neville Strange. Jim"
When Neville came In, Battle was
Just replacing the phone on its

Yard superintendent, trying to read
tho emotion behind the wooden
mask.

you know anyone who dislikes you
very much?"
Neville stared and shook his head.
"Sure?" Battle was impressive.
Il mean, sir, someone who does
more than dislike you--someone
Observation-Disclosures you?"
Neville sat bolt upright.
mo. No, certainly not. Nothing
Of the kind"
Think, Mr.. Strange. Is there no
one you've injured in any way"
Neville flushed.
There's only one person l can
be said to have injured and she's
not the kind who bears rancor.
That's my first wife when l left
her for another woman. But I can
assure you that she doesn't hate
me. She's-she's been an angel"
The superintendent leaned for
ward across the table.
Let me tell you, Mr.. Strange;
you're very lucky man. l don't

l didn't. But II was a case. It would
have stood up all right, and unless

1T Is past" said Battle. you've
been saved, Mr.. Strange, by pure
chance"
Neville stili looked !nquiringly at
him.
After you left her last night"
said Battle, Lady Tressilian rang
the bell for her maid"
He watched while Neville took
il in.
After. Then Barrett saw
her"
yes. Alive and well. Barrett also
saw you leave the house before she
went In to her mistress"
Neville said:

with something else. That niblick
was put there deliberately to throw
suspicion on you. 1t may be by
someone who overheard the quarrel
and so selected you as a suitable
victim, or It may be because"
He paused, and then repeated his

question:
who Is there IN this house that
hates you, Mr.. Strange ?"
I've got a question for you, Doc
tor" said Battle.
They were In the doctors house
after returning from the nursing
home where they had had a short
interview with Jane Barrett.
Barrett was weak and exhausted
but quite clear in her statement.
She had been just getting into
bed after drinking her SIENNA when
Lady Tressilian's bell rang. She
had glanced at the clock and saw
the Timers minutes past 10.
She had put On her dreSsins
gown and gone down. She had
heard noise in the hall below and
had looked over the baluster.
1T was Mr.. Neville Just going
out. He was taking his raincoat
down from the hook"
"What suit was he wearing? ?"
His gray pin stripe. His face
was very worried and unhappy
looking. He showed his arms into
his coat as though he didn't care
how he put 1t on, Then he went out
and banged the front door behind
him. l went on In 10 her ladyshlp.
She was very drowsy, poor dear,
and couldn't remember why she
had rang for me-she couldn't al
ways, poor lady. But beat up her
pillows and brought her a fresh
glass Of water and settled her COM
fortably."
"She didn't seem upset or afraid
OF anything7"
Just tired, that's all. was tired
myself. Yawning. l went up and
went right Off to sleep"
That was Barrett's story and II
seemed impossible to doubt her
genuine grief and horror at the
news Of her mistress death.
They went back TO Lazenby's
house and 1t was then that Battle
announced that he had a question
to ask.
ASK away" said Lazenby.
What time do vou think Lady
Tressilian died."
1--WE told you. Between 10 o'clock
and midnight"
Il know that's what you said.
But 1t wasn't my question. l asked
you what you, personally. thought"
"Off the record, eh?"
yes"
-All right. My guess would be In
the neighborhood Of IL o'clock"
That's what I wanted you to
say" said Battle.
"Glsd to oblige. Why?"
"Never did like the idea OF her
being killed before 1920. Take Bar
rett's sleeping draught-it wouldn't
have got to work by then That
sleeping draught shows that the
murder was meant to be committed
good deal later-durtng the
night. I'd prefer midnight, myself"

guess"
But It definitely couldn't be lat
er than midnight"
NO"
ut couldn't be after $50"
Good heavens, no."
We'll, that seems to let Strange
out all right. I'll Just have to check
up on his movements after he left
the house. II he's telling the truth,
he's washed out and we can 20 on
TO our other suspects"
The other people who inherit
money!" suggested Leach.
Maybe" said Battle. But some
how. l don't think so. Someone with
a kink, I'm looking for"
"A kink?"
"A nasty kink."
