Rogers Wins ShrievOlty Post Contest
 Morse Reelected,
 lN liNehfield
 County Eicth

Republicans yesterday captured the once of New Haven County Sheriff from the Democrats and retained their hold on the Sheraff's post in Litchtaeld County.
 George c, Rogers tRl, of Ham, cen, rolled up a plurality of as,s2i over Daniel J. Callahan (Dl, oi Naugat0ck, Callahan, now Q deputy sheriff, ran well ahead of the Democratic ticket in Naugatuck and benefited by splits in his favor in Waterbury and other communities but was unable to beat the general Republican surge throughout New Haven County at large. The in- cumoent Democratic sheriff, J. Ed- ward Slavtn, did not seek renomin- ation.
 In Latchfielid County, Sheriff Harry B. Morse CRD, of Litchfleld, won reelection by a substantial margin over Carlo J. Palomba. CD), of watertown. Palomba ran strong ly in his home town. but the gen. eral COP. outpouring throughout the county insured Q victory for the incumbent, The 26 towns of the county gave Sheriff Morse 2l ,s96 votes and Palomba a total of l4,- 296.
 Under the statutes, terms of county sheriffs do not begin until June l of the year following cleo ton. This means that present Dem ocratic deputy Sheriffs in New Haven County will hold their posts until that date, when Sheriff Slavin retires and Sheriff-elect Rogers takes ofice. The shrievalty post carries substantial patronage with it. including the appointment of not only deputy sheriffs but also jail employees, attendants and other workers.

FOOD CHIEFS LOOK
TO REICH FOR AID
Country Seen AS Possible
Source OF Coal And
Fertilizer Materials

LONDON, April g. up Food
ministers of II European nations
turned today to defeated Germany
as a possible source of coal and
fertilizer, both sorely needed to
avoid famine in their countries.
Winding up their conference, the
ministers recommended that Allied
control authorities gave priority IN
occupied countries to the produc-
ton and export of fertilizers and
coal.
French Food Minister Henri
Longchambon declared he favored
giving German miners increased
food allotments if necessary, add
ing 1--WE must insist on policy
of obtaining the widest possible ex-
port of German COAL"
Thomas C. Blaisdell, Jr., chief of
the U. S. Economic mission to
Europe, said that stepping up of
German exports would require that
Allied nations be prepared to send
Germany imports in order to
stimulate production.
The ministers called upon the
United Nations food and agricul-
ture organization, which will meet
next month, to consider steps to
establish a standard policy on live
stock feeding and to revise wheat
ALLEGATION procedures now admin
istered by the combined food board.
Beanwhile Herbert Hoover, at
a news conference in the U. S.
embassy, declared that wheat crop
prospects over the northern hemis-
phere appear Extremely good. .
He said that if the hungry peoples
of Europe can be taken care OF
until the autumn harvest there will
be a general improvement in the
world food situation.
The former U. S. President, on
a food fact finding tour for Presi-
dent Truman, arrived this after
noon in Brussels. Still on his timer
airy are visits to Holland, Den
mark, Germany, Austria, Yugo-
slavia, Greece aid India.

her here unwarned and then merely
ask her to look at the man in front
of her.
Had that man checked his hat at
the foyer checkstand? Being alone
and informally dressed, he probably
hadn't. He would be more likely to
put it in the wire hatrack under his
seat. Lucia moved one seat to her
right, into 1-B-lO. There she leaned
forward and looked down into the
vacant l-B-9. 1t was turned up, to
facilitate the egress of patrons who,
like the occupant himself, had left
Row Nine briefly for the intermis-
sion.
This exposed the underside of the
seat and Lucia could see the hat was
there. 1t was gray felt. Her hand
darted down and she took it from
the rack. A woman two seats away
stared at her. Lucia was too tumul-
tuously excited to mind a few stares.
She inverted the hat in her lap and
turned back the sweatband.
HERE, intact, was the ticket for
seat 1-B-1O.
Lucia had only one thought now.
She must get the hat and the ticket
to Billie Ryan. Clutching the hat
to her she arose and started up the
aisle.
Before she had taken three steps
she saw a man coming directly
toward her down the aisle. He was
tall and big-boned. He was the occu-

Why, Lucia wondered, hadn't
MIR. Bolton phoned her mother in
stead of sending this timed message?
Perhaps it was because Humphrey
Bolton, being playwright, liked to
stage his scenes. Or possibly it was
because he knew Julia Gurd's char
acter; she was timid, and of a dis
position to shrink from all contact
with sensations. If he asked her
beforehand to sit behind a murderer
and identify him, she might be re-
luctant. So he had planned to get

THE KILLER WORE A GRAY HAT

Lucia thought. She supposed that
Ryan wanted to see her about some
thing, and so had sent a note down
by an usher.
I'm Miss Gurd," she said. "I'u
take it,"
The usher gave her the note and
went back up the aisle.
Then Lucia saw that it was a
sealed envelope of downtown mes
senger service, and that it was
addressed:
Mrs. Julia Gurd, Seat l-B-IO, SIN
Street Theoter. To be delivered be-
''oeen acts Friday esenins.
so it couldn't be from Ryan! All
Ryan knew about her mother was
that she wasn't here. Who, then.
Lucia wondered. could have sent it?
Could it be from the murderer him.
self! Had he found the ticket in his
hat - sensed a trap? Was this a
message of derision?
WITH nervous fingers Lucia opened
the envelope. The inclosure was
typed on form whose heading read:
RELIABLE MESSENGER SERVICE
We Deliver AnyWhe1e at ANY Hour
The message was dated two days
ago and signed Humphrey Bolton.
Dear Julia:
In our class at Idaho u there was
a man who later murdered his wife.
He disappeared. This morning
came face to face with him at a
hotel bar. At least l thought it was
he. and instinctively called him by
name. He gave me blank stare and
said was mistaken - he was some
one else. ! apologized. He was a
hearty chap and we chatted awhile.
He bought me drink. All the while
his face and his bluff speech kept re-
minding me of that old classmate.
But l couldn't be sure after 50 many
years. | saw the top third of a
theater ticket showing out of his
vest pocket. 1t was for seat 1-B-9,
Friday night, at the 57th Street.
After he left me bought two near
by seats for the same show for you
and Lucia. He's sitting right in front
of you now, Julia. Look at him. If
you too think he was our classmate,
Ill feel justified in reporting him to
the police.
HUMPHREY BoLToN
Breathless. Lucia looked at the
aisle seat in the row in front of her.
1t was unoccupied. Vaguely she re-
membered a man who'd been sitting
there during the first two acts.
There'd been no reason to scrutinize
him. Her impression was that he was
a big-boned Western type, and
about Humphrey Bottoms age. He'd
arisen at the end of Act II and gone
up the aisle. But he should return
before curtain time for Act III.
Evening star., 1946-10-20

pant of seat 1-B-9, and he was now
returning to his place for Act III.
Lucia saw his eyes flicker. They
were fixed on the hat. There was no
hiding it. She had to pass him in that
narrow aisle. If he were innocent,
he'd snatch his hat from her and
demand to know why she was max
ing off with it. But he couldn't be
innocent. He was the occupant of
seat 1-B-9, and he had a ticket for
1-B-1O in the sweatband.
She met him halfway up the aisle.
His elbow brushed her as he passed.
Three steps more and she looked fur
lively back. The man had turned.
His face was flushed and his eyes
held CLINT. He had reversed his
direction and was following her up
the aisle. She wanted to run. The
aisle seemed miles long. The man
didn't know, of course, about the
ticket planted in his hat. But he did
know that the hat had been handled
by girl witness at the scene of the
crime. Therefore he could hardly fail
to conclude some connection with a
girl now making off with his fedora.
Half expecting to be seized by the
throat at every step, Lucia at last
reached the foyer. Her eyes sought
frantically for Ryan. He wasn't in
sight. The pursuing man was only a
step behind her. The very least he
would do. she thought. would be to
snatch the hat from her and run.
But he didn't. He strode by her
without glance and made briskly
for the street exit. OF course! His
safest move would be to forsake the
hat and escape bareheaded.
lHEN, with a surge of relief, Lucia
saw Ryan. She pointed at the re-
treating man and waved the hat.
1t was all the cue Ryan needed. He
made dive, and his flying tackle
carried both him and his objective
to the street walk and out of Lucia's
sight.
When she got to the open door
way she saw Ryan pinioning the
mans arms. out on the walk, while
a curb policeman searched him for
a gun.
Later, when Ryan rejoined Lucia
in the foyer. she gave him the ticket
for seat 1-B-lO. Ryan. staring at it,
was completely confused.
But it's all in one piecer' he NUT
tered broodingly. "If he went into
the show on it, he have only stub.
Come clean, Miss Houdini, where
did you get it,"
Lucia gave him a superior smile.
She had recovered her poise now.
Best to let this rather interesting
young man think for while that she
was smart. Il pulled il" she whis-
pered mysteriously, ''out of hat"
