THE STORY: When Leo Kaba- teck arrives at the Plaza Hotel in Hollywood, two telegrams await him from BOggiO. Both order him to return to New York at once. There is also message to look up a MT. Perez, who turns out to be an agent of BOggiO's. CHAPTER xxx
 I'D gone through enough things in l life not to be scared by big palooka trying to make monkey out of me. But this conversation in- terspersed with MT. Perez toilet was beginning to get me down.
 Perez" I said, will you tell me what it's all about?"
 He either didn't hear me or pretended not to. He was still using that shaving brush and whistling softly. It was the whistle of guy who doesn't know how. There was no tune and it was profundly irri- tAting. I got up and walked over to the door. That worked. He stuck his head out the bathroom.
 Whats the matter? Where you going?"
 "I'll come back later, when you're less busy"
 Don't be so impatient. I'll be through in a jiffy. Here, read a book!"
 He grabbed a volume from the night table and came over to give 1t to me. You're as nervous as a cat, Kabateck. Take it easy"
 didn't want to argue, so sat down while he started shaving.
 I opened the book. It was a surg ical treatise on brain operations. What the hell Perez was doing with it couldn't figure out. I closed the book and looked around for some more palatable literature. There were a couple of volumes on the table beside me. The first was a monograph entitled Pain and the defense Mechanism" the second a fat tome on. obstetrics. I was about to put them both down when l noe tieed that the author Of the mono- graph was Nicholas Perez.
 Are you a doetor?" l asked.
 He stopped seraplng his chin for a moment.
 Used to be Q surgeon"
 Used to be?"
 You can't practice without 6 license" he said. Then, starting to whistle again in that obnoxious monotone, he continued shaving.
 
 WYE had breakfast together in the W coffee shop. During the meal l tried to pin him down 10 business but couldn't. He was more than willing t0 talk about himself, how- ever. He'd met Boggi0 in Huenos Aires about i've years ago, bogglo had Of course come tO consult him about hls stomach trouble.
 There's nothing wrong with him. The constitution Of Q horse. The whole things nerves
 Perez went on to explain that his license had been revoked after he'd had a run-in with the au. thorltles. He got of with a inc and a minimum jail sentence.
 Broke. and unwilling to stick his neck out again he turned to boggio who'd taken a liking lo him. And

! Boggio put him on the payroll.
 When he got through giving mt the highlightS of his autobiography he suddenly remembered he'd want. ed to see me for a specific purpose.
 Mir. Boggio called me up las night. He was worried about you. told him you hadn't arrived"
 You know about the telegram! then%
 of course. He only called be- cause he didn't get reply after the second one"
 Why does he want me backp'
 He didn't take me into his con- fidence."
 And suppose I don't feel like going back right now?"
 T give you credit for more sense. ?
 After we left the coffee shop he asked me to wait for him in the lob- by. He came back about five minutes later.
 Its all arranged"
 What is?"
 I've sent MT. Boggio a telegram in your name telling him your plane arrives in New York tomorrow at 1:45 a. m"
 My plane?"
 ''The one you're taking at Bur bank this evening at G."
 My blood began to boil.
 You're taking a lot for granted, Perez"
 Come now, Kabateck," he said soothingly, you weren't planning to stay?"
 T like to make my own decisions" 1"
 Don't be so stubborn" He was talking to me like to a petulant child. And now we'd better see about your car" THAT had been the last straw, ! He'd wanted me to drive di- rectly to a dealer down the street to sell it. I'd argued some more, telling him I could store 1t and come back to get 1t some time later or have it shipped out. He'd pointed out that those expenses plus the price I'd get would buy a new car.
 Then I remembered all those souvenirs. My share amounted to q couple of rugs, a i0-gallon hat. the Indian headdFess and two or three rocks. It was too much to take on the plane so I decided to leave everything with the kids.

 When saw Glengariff Bay, Of odd and tropic aspect,
 The blue heron with plumage gay. e. Peat piles neat in Shannon Valley, Sheep in rocky upper Clare, Cork and Kelly lying lush,
 Hedged fields that looked so fair So this Patricks day in the morning, I'd like again to roam Along the pleasant bypaths,
 Among green hills like home. .. Or come sailing into Cobh harbor, See St. Colmans, a high eminence adorning, For it's Spring across in Ireland St. Patrck's day in the morning.

w SUB-CH4SER SHIPS
MANNED DURING FAR BY
MOSTLY NEGRO CREW
DE-COMMISSIONED

The PC 1864, a SUB chaser, one
of the Nays two fighting ships
manned during the wal by pre-
dominantly Negro crews, has been
decommissioned.
The final entry was made in the
log of the patrol craft in Febru-
airy when she was stripped and
Sent to the Newark Bay Excess
Berthing Site, Navy Yard, New
York, to be disposed.
The ship, commissioned in April
1910, initially had a complement
Of 53 Negro petty officers and
seamen, eight white leading pet
ty officers and five white com
missioned officers. Six months la
ter after the commissioning, Ne
gro crewman qualified to take all
petty officer duties and they were
promoted and the white officers
transferred. Later a Negro officer
was made Executive Officer of
the ship.
The PC 1854 was given varied
duties, from patrolling the sea
alone as a part of a submarine
killer group to e~scorting conveys
between New York and Cuba and
intermediate waters.
In early January, 1945, the ves-
sci was transferred from convoy
escort duty to become, with other
anti-submarine vessels, part of a
far sweeping Atlantic Patrol. The
ship took part in 10 Of these pa
trolls, many during bitter winter
weather. With the increase in en-
envy submarine activity in the
latter part Of March, 1915, the PC
1246 was re~assigned to escort du-
ty.
During these various assign
ments the ship contacted enemy
submarines several times and a
depth charge and ahead thrown
attacks were carried out. How
ever, damage to enemy submar-
ines was never actually confirm
ed.
Shortly after cessation of hos
tilities in Europe, the vessel was
overhauled in preparation for r
vice in the Pacific. In July the
ship departed but before reaching
the Pacific, Japan surrendered.
Ordered back to Norfolk, Va.
tne snip began to feel the effects
Of the rehabilitation program.
On October 81, 1915, the PC II
"a took part in the Navy Day
Fleet review by President Harry
3 Truman in New York Harbor.
Participation Of the vessel in the
review proudly symbolized the
contribution Of Tile Negro sailor
to our battle for victory.
