"I'M SUSPECT NUMBER ONE"

Turnbull. went up to the garage and
made another entrance"
Julian said, That's dirty lie.'
"Why didn't you tell the police
about going to your club?"
Because I'm not sorry Kent
Turnbull was killed. Because was
hoping they wouldn't find out who
killed him."
Taggart's voice was low, but dam
gerous: You're cute, Mr.. Martin,
but you're leading with your chin.
You'd better spill what you.know."
Julian said slowly. II did 90 to the
club, just as Smarty-Pants over there
was telling you. AS / returned to
this house, l saw a man running
away. 1t was Roberto Sanchez"
SANCHEZ let out howl: mo! No!
Is not truer' He said lots more, but
it was all in Spanish, 80 I didn't
get it.
Taggart tore into him. His ques-
tons came fast, and he didn't always
wait for the answers. 1t wasn't a
pretty scene. Sanchez didn't have
much to 90 on - jury would have
convicted him in ten seconds fiat.
Finally Dan leaned back in his chair
and said fatty. "It's Sanchez all
right, boys. Take him away"
said, "Why is it Sanchez. DAMP"
Its gotta be. Miss Martin was
with you from before Turnbull was
killed until barged into your Office.
Cutie-pie yonder wasn't even in the
ioint. The butler swears Turnbull
was alive and kicking when Sanchez
came in for the interview - and he
wasn't alive after Sanchez left.
Maybe the lad amt guilty. but I've
seen lot of convictions on less evi-
dence than that"
$50 you want - conviction?
"Sure. If / got the right guy"
"You haven't"
He did a double take on that one.
what do you mean i haven't?
"I'll bet on it." l said to Julian
Martin: ''You get half your foster

is dead, don't you?"

But still didn't kill Turnbull."

didn't"
TACGARr had risen. He said, "If
Julian didn't kill Turnbull - who
did?"
said, ''Corliss Martin"

surprised and frightened. She started

draw the moose tighter around the
lovely neck of Corliss Martin. That
was more than she could take. She
flashed back at him. Hate and fury
fared between them. BY the time
they'd finished. Taggart had all he
needed, and more.
The boys got ready to take Corliss
and Julian downtown. She still
looked beautiful. l was thinking
what lot of fun she might have
been. Taggart's voice broke in on
my thoughts: ''You had it figured
neat, Jimmy. But how come you
was so positive? What was the
clincher?"
Corliss stopped at the door. She
said, 1--WE been wondering about
that. too. What made you so sure I
was mixed up in it?"
/ said, Cigarettes"
'What?"
''It was this way" I explained.
Il noticed that you were chain
smoker. also noticed that you
were enough of a native of Southern
California not to flick your finished
cigarettes into the road.
''You smoked seven cigarettes be-
tween my office and this house.
When got out of the car, there were
seven cigarette stubs in the ashtray.
When I got back into the car. you
were smoking again. l wondered
whether you'd emptied the ashtray.
There we're no cigarette stubs near
the car. In the ashtray there were
seven stubs - the same seven that
had been there when l went inside.
The cigarette you were smoking
was fresh one.
81 didn't attach any importance
to those cigarette butts until after
Turnbull's death had been reported.
You had continued to smoke all the
way to the Office, and every ciga-
rette had been ground out in the
ashtray.
81 HAD been inside the house
long time. l didn't believe you'd
waited all that time without smok-
ing. But if you'd smoked. it hadn't
been in the car. You'd gotten out.
The obvious place to go when you
got out was into the house. But you
didn't mention that. You made
point of stating that you'd been
waiting in the car for me. 1t wasn't
until later that I asked myself why.
And it wasn't until long after that
that / got the answer"
She looked at me oddly: you're
smart, Jimmy. You're too smart for
my own good"
She turned to the detective who
was holding her arm. She said,
Lets Co."
Her exit was magnificent. She
paused on the threshold and took a
gold cigarette case from her bag.
She lighted a cigarette and blew
cloud of smoke in my direction.

THE CHERRY TREE

| 1t could well be that public health
might be one of the next great moves
on the part of labor.
In times past, when unions were
getting roots down into the ground
public health was regarded as none
| of their concern. They wanted wages
and decent conditions, so that they
could raise their own personal and
family health standards.
But, as some crazy person has said
times change-and so do wants.
There is too much realization now
of the fact that conditions over which
no one family can have control may
affect the family health-or the
health of a whole factory full of
workers.
Public health is today a most i'm
portant thing. s
Every condition existing in big
city goes to help make the public
health situation-the public health
problem.
Rats help make up public health
problem. So do sewers and the treat
ment of their output. Or maybe it is
the lack of Sewers.
In Washington, d. c., a group of
polio cases were found to have or
iginated in. the near vicinity of an
open sewer. Maybe there was no con-
nection, but maybe there was.
Of IL =
important factor in public health.
1t used to be thought, for example,
that undulant fever was a tropical
affliction. 1t comes, so the scientists
say, from beef and dairy products. In
cattle it is known as Bangs disease.
Herds must be free from Bangs
dairy products must be
pasteurized, for the sake of public
health.
Fifty years ago nobody thought of
that. But today the health officer
who didn't ought to be fired and gen.
orally would be.
Labor can afford to be deeply con-
cerned with public health. AS a mat
ter of fact it cannot afford NOT to be
Whatever else you may think of
John l.. Lewis, he did great service
when he put public health prominent
ly into the picture of employment re-
lations.
There are two vitally important
sub divisions of the general health
picture. One is what we know as in
iustrial hygiene; the other is mental
1ygiene.
We are generally deficient in our
in both these fields and in
,ur methods therein.
There are in this country more per-
sons mentally sick than there are
persons physically sick.
Our mental hospitals are dis

Temporary Pact
Moy Avert AFL
Seumen's Strike

New York City QLNS).-An in.
term agreement between the AFI
Seafarers' international Union and
the Atlantic and Gulf Ship Operators
Association is expected by the opera
tors to avert a threatened strike, or
which union tellers have been taking
ballot count.
AS a result of the agreement
signed at the War. Shipping Admin
istration's offices, the Alcoa Line an
nounced that the coastal liner George
Washington, which has missed sew
eral scheduled voyages to Bermuda,
would saif'August II and would main
tain thereafter a weekly service to
the southern island, barring further
labor difficulties. Other lines resumed
operation with vessels affected by the
dispute over wages and working con-
ditions. Between 20 and 80 ships
have been held or delayed in recent
weeks by Individual job actions, but
no strike has been officially called.
The dispute was settled by Capt.
Granville Conway, chairman of the
War Shipping Administration, who
came to New York and began imme-
diately a series of lengthy discussions
with the employing association and
with committee of the Seafarers'
international Union, headed by John
Hawk.
Negotiations will continue during
the one-month period covered by the
agreement in an attempt to settle
differences over collateral issues and
write complete wage and working
contract. The interim agreement
came at a point where the two sides
were agreed on pay but not on all
working clauses.
The Conway agreement was signed
by 10 ship companies.
Seatrain Lines did not sign, be-
cause it has wage scale higher than
the other companies, according to
Hawk. Other non-signers were Wat
erman Steamship Corporation and
Shipping Co., both of
which signed agreements several
weeks ago when the operator group
could not reach an agreement.

We can stand a lot of awakening
in the whole field of public health and
maybe that is what we are coming to.
When it comes to industrial hy-
giene, or Industrial health, we have a
field in which again too little has
been done. Unions have done much
to improve industrial health, but
there is a point at which they must
have high skills if more progress is
to be made. The professional man
must come into the picture.
At present only the big corpora
tions can afford this professional
SKILL Ways must be found, before
much more headway can be made, to
make available to the small plant
what only the big plant can now af-
ford to buy.
One way in which labor can for
ward this business is through a
deeper penetration into and partici-
patton in the work of social agencies,
which are far removed from the old
and hated welfare" outfits.
Public health finally comes down to
YOUR OWN doorstep as protective
measure and part of modern civili-
zation. Dare unions ignore it,

chanic entered training for the fore
manship. The employer cut the pay
from $35 to $23 week, telling the
worker his VA allowance would more
than make up the difference.
"Such practices" Bradley said
"are unfair to the honest employer
confronting him with unfair compe-
tition when his rival charges part OF
his labor cost to this form of sub
sidy. They are unfair to the veteran
causing him to waste his valuable
period of educational eligibility while
giving him little in the way of mar
ketable skill. They are unfair to the
public, involving misuse of govern
ment moneys"

berry and extortion "are no different
and no broader" than the definitions
of those terms in most state laws, he
said.
The act also specifically states that
it shall not be construed to repeal,
modify or affect the railway labor
act, the Norris La Guardia act, the
Wagner act and specified sections of
the Clayton act. "The bill does not
prohibit striking, picketing, or boy
cotting, or other lawful activities in
furtherance of demands for increased
wages, shorter hours or other i'm
proved working conditions" he said.
"In short, that which was lawful
prior to the enactment of the Hobbs
bill is not made unlawful by the
Hobbs BILL"
However, Padway cautioned, if any
union activities constitute the crime
of robbery or extortion as defined by
present state laws, and they affect
interstate commerce, then the federal
authorities may apply the Hobbs act.

agriculture to form a permanent Ma
tional Economic Security Council fre,
from governmental influence or par
ticipation.
The union said in its program:
THE UAW-AFL condemns the idea
of governmental domination of the
true spirit of collective bargaining
Organizations that are exerting pres
sure and maneuvering for govern
mental aid are creating program OF
political, regimented economy, which
is contrary to the true concepts OF
American democratic principles anc
ideals.
ANY organization whose existence
depends upon political and govern
mental support is contributing to q
regimented economy and to the ulti-
mate RECOMMENDATION of labor.
"Any such organization, including
labor, will survive only so long as
public opinion will tolerate such regi-
mentation and only as long as a
friendly administration to such or
ganization will be permitted to re-
main in power.
at is an actuality that the Ameri-
can people have always lived under a
planned economy regardless of any
propaganda to the contrary. The
planned economy that has been i'm
posed upon the American peoples has
been dictated by those organizations
that have been able to dominate an
administration by their political
power.
Business, labor and agriculture
are dependent on each other, and
therefore, the UAW-AFL states that
it is necessary to have a planned and
stabilized economy, designed to estab-
lish full employment to labor at a
wage that will provide sufficient pur-
chasing power to guarantee fair
return on capital investment for busi-
ness and ready market at fair
prices for agriculture.
"The UAW-AFL warns that if
business, labor and agriculture do not
voluntarily accept their responsible
ties and cooperate jointly toward
sound, mutually acceptable plan, the
American public will continue to suf-
fer under economic domination Of one
group or another, to the ultimate
detriment Of all, because of govern
mental RECOMMENDATION.
"The UAW-AFL, foreseeing the
danger in this present trend, invites
business and agriculture to join with
it in a program for the establishment
of a National Economic Security
Council, composed of representatives
from the various groups, whose pur-
pose shall be to set up Department
of Economic Research to ascertain
and present the true facts to all con-
cerned, pursuant to the establishment
of a sound, mutually agreed-upon
plan that will be acceptable to all,
predicated upon an earnest desire to
bring about economic security for the
