underground This tCoulGn must
know.
As to Baalah Jones, what else did
he do besides publish pamphlets and
collect contributions from the dis
contented rich who feared demo-
cratic tendencies
Steuben was urged to "get in
solid with Carlotta. That gave him
pause.
Bill had not snooped when left
alone in Carlotta's Office. A sixth
sense had warned him Of peepholes
through which he might be watched,
or Of articles busted for finger
prints. A folder labelled Secret had
lain before him more than once as
if it were bait.
Steuben had built slowly, feeling
that, if he were thoroughly trusted,
disclosures were bound to come.
Now he must be more daring, work
faster. Tomorrow he would ask
questions, something he had avoid
ed. But that last admonition: To
get solid with Carlotta. Man, oh
man, they didn't know what they
we're askingl Just another Nazi to
them :. But somehow he must in
sulate himself from her electrocut-
ing effect -.
Carlotta awoke slowly next morn
ing to the joyous song of thrush,
robin and oriole. Her clock told her
that it was not yet six, too early for
attacking the days schedule. For
an hour or so, she could be inter-
ested only in herself, Carlotta Rie-
Der, as a wQmanl And she thought

yet lean, hard, attractive :. that
lock of hair that keeps tumbling in
his eyes -. always wanted to touch
it. l did last night :. he flushed and
trembledl
Carlotta would secure a high
place for him; yes, a key Nazi posi-
tion. Then he would turn TO her and
say, ~ otOe IL all to you, Carlotta!"
No, she must not expect that. Men
did not like to owe anything to a
woman; she knew from experience.
Four minutes to six; little more
time TO ponder the future. Then her
glance wandered TO a framed photo
graph on her dresser. The face had
craggy forehead, lank hair, a
small mustache; the fanatic eyes
were reproachful.
Carlotta apostrophized the pic
ture sullenly: "Oh, you Dould,
wouldn't you? Just when was hap
py, dreaming Of a little life of my
ownl Haven't l given you every
ounce Of brains and cunning, done
everything you bid me for five
years? Don't you understand He
is one Of us, heart and soul? D.. And
| haven't done thing | shouldn't"
The eyes Of the photograph con-
tinued their cold reproach.
SITS different with you," she
talked back mentally. you're a god,
high above us all, our Fuehrer -
Leaderl -. And you're not yO1tnO
any more. I'm only thirty - well
then, thirty-one" -.
Carlotta suddenly hid her face in
the pillow. The photograph had
done its work. Those romantic
STRINGS must be stified. Too often
she had seen the ruin of women
agents who fell in love.
Resignedly she rose when the
alarm tinkled, bathed and dressed,
deciding that she should turn Steu-
ben's tutoring over to another teach
er, or send him out on a mission.

ETA KETT
BY ROGER w. BABsoN

Washington, d. C.-Let us start
with three statements with which
most intelligent people agree:
1. Notwithstanding ChuTchill's
blast, no group NOW wants a war
with Russia. Surely the vote OF
the United States would be 1000
against 1t NOW, although We are
better prepared for 1t NOW than
we may ever be again.
q Most Of all, Russia does not
want another war NOW. She
knows that we saved her in World
War II; and she knows she would
lose all her gains with a World
War III NOW.
g.. Our State Department is so
divided into Catholics, Protestants,
New Dealers and Capitalists that
II cannot agree upon any foreign
policy NOW-to say nothing OF
agreeing to fight Russia NOW.
Hence, there is no possibility OF
a war with Russia for an indefinite
period
Is War ~ Probable1
II is safe to add fourth forecast,
wifi our present dilly-dally, con-
Trajectory, inconsistent and silly
foreign policy continues long
enough, we may have a war with
Russia someday. Then, the U. S.
and Britain will not be so well pre-
pared as we are today; while
Russia could then be very much
stronger and in addition will have
all atomic bomb secrets. Only a
spiritual awakening OF our State
Department, or a split-up OF Russia
into two or more nations, can pre-
vent such a conflict.
Conditions today are almost
identical with those following
World War |. Instead OF a German
Hitler. there can soon develop a
Russian Hitler. Great Britain
again has a Labor Government;
France again is playing politics
and talking pacifism, while U. s.
mothers merely wanna get their
dear boys home. World War II
would have been unnecessary had
II been "nipped in the bud. World

CHAPTER FIFTEEN

ChAF L En- TIT EEN
Every minute was valuable.
Sorry, Carlotta; some other time.
That means-i"
"I'm sleepy"
She ruffied his hair, gave him q
light pat. Then go TO bed. III see
you in the morning."
With that pounding disturbance
Of blood and cells which the unex-
pected, Pickering touch produced,
Bill entered his room and closed the
door. Carlotta was giving him les
sons in psychology each morning;
she had a masters degree in it from
a German university. She empha-
sized only one phase, how to esti-
mate people and play upon their
weaknesses.
Slipping into his bathrobe, Bill
rumpled his bed before he turned
out the light The door was still un-
locked, but he couldn't wait. He
took q towel from the bathroom,
draped it over the sill so that it
could be seen from outside, and
then crouched before the open
window.
The moon filtered through mea-
gerly leaved branches, and there
were not nearly enough shadows.
One Of his legs became numb as he
waited, ears keyed to sensitivity for
an alien sound
'Doc's" footsteps dragged along
the hall, locking doors; the key
turned in his own. Presently a
silken teagown rustled in the pass
age and Carlotta's door closed.
Steuben had made an appointment
for between IL and IL, and tonight
was the first time his outside con-
tact had been late. Strange no one
had come these past five evenings

Twelve-thirty a. m. He might as
well give up now. Then he heard a
plane zooming overhead, low and
close. simultaneously, a figure
emerged from near a hemlock and
erept cautiously into the grassy
plot beneath his window. He was
looking down into the face of Jim
Meade, another CI.C. agent. Be-
cause Of the occupied rooms and
nearby open windows, neither spoke
nor whispered, but Meade elevated
q long fishing rod; and Bill, by
reaching down, could grasp the
letter snapped on the tip by a rub
Der band. Then Meade slipped away.
! Bill Steuben read the letter in the
bathroom with the door locked:
The GIG. had received all his re-
ports which had been numbered;

May Drag Lake
To Find Plane

Coast guard officials today re-
turned to the ice-jammed area in
Lake st. Clair where a small civil
ian plane was seen to crash
Wednesday. They considered the
feasibility of breaking the ice
close TO shore to drag the lake
bottom for the missing craft.
Only one plane, a Piper Cub
carrying two persons, was re-
ported missing within a 50-mile
radius Of Detroit.
1t was piloted by Raymond
Wheeler, %, who was carrying his
wife, Helen, 25, as passenger.
wheeler has not been heard
from by relatives since he took
off from his farm landing strip
near Milford at l p. m. Wednes-
day. Friends doubted that the
plane which crashed in the ice
was Wheeler's.
M. ID. Allen. proprietor of AL
lens Airport, two miles north Of
Pontiac, said that Wheeler had
been flying for 10 years, was an
expert pilot and knew the sur
rounding area.
Wheeler was believed headed
for the South. Allen said his plane
ar best could stay in the air about
three hours,
