man who knows a lot about the
theater. He may know about some
other things, too, for all we know,
but the theater is what he'd rather
talk about. The pet project right

CLIFF MUST have slept, for
suddenly he found himself sitting
bolt. upright. listening, every sense
alert; but absolute hush held the
jungle. Only the blood pounding
in his ears. 1t was as if the night
and all the world waited in a vast
hush of expectancy. Then, while he
listened, the trees began moving
restlessly. and in the next second
a crash of lightning famed blue
white across the sky. The storm
had broken.

across the floor.
Switching on his flashlight, Cliff
reached for a cigarette. Five
o'clock not long until sunrise.
The storm, in savage gusts, was
bending the palms like grass, the
lightning caused each slantlng
raindrop to glitter like a falling
jewel, and for a time Cliff stood
by the door, ~reveling in the touch
of cold, wet air on his face.
Then, swiftly as it had come, the
storm passed. The clouds began
thinning and to the east Cliff
saw the first faint promise OF
dawn.
Dawn of his last day! He kneel-
ed to open his knapsack, then
suddenly Strengthened - footsteps
were running toward him down
the path.
His first thought was that the
Blacklanders had come for vi
cente and, turning off the fla sh-
light, he flattened himself beside
the door. But the footsteps had
stopped. Outside the shack a man
was stamping water from his
boots; a second later the door
opened, and through the half dark
ness sounded the scratch of a
match. 1t sputtered futilely, then
went out, and with an exclamation
of disgust a dim figure started
across the floor. In that moment
Cliff flashed on his light.
Thrown into sharp relief against
the blackness stood a mar of
Cliffs w age, short in stature
and of slender but wiry build. The
face was sensitive, intelligent,
with high-arched nose, and a full,

The man looked at Cliff with

Reaching in his pocket, he frown-

|'U, ), Whiskers' Worn
By Subsidiaries 10 Sell
Oil, Brewster Says
BY the Assoeioted Press

Chaiman Brewster of the Sen
ate Investigating Committee
said today two United States
oil companies with foreign sub
sidiaries found it necessary to
put American whiskers" on, one
of their firms to keep the Navy
as customer.
Senator Brewster's committee is
inquiring into contentious that the
Navy was overeharged on wartime
sales of Arabian oil.
This oil was produced by the
Arabian American Oil Co. (Aramco) ,
which was set up by the Texas Co.
and Standard Oil of California to
develop a concession obtained from
King Ibn Saud of Saudi Arabia.
The sales, however, were ar
ranged largely through the Bahrein
Petroleum Corp, Ltd. Canadian
corporation, and the California
Texas Oil. Ltd, Bahaman corpora
ton. Both are wholly owned sub
salaries of Texas and California
Standard.
Put On American Whiskers.
apparently Navy officials got
allergic to buying their oil from
Canadian and Bahaman corpora
tions," Senator Brewster told a re-
porter. so the oil companies put
American whiskers on one of their
subsidiaries in order to have an
American company to sell oil to the
Navy"
Senator Brewster identified this
concern as the Caltex Oil Products
Co., a Deleware corporation, adding
it sold the Navy Arabian oil "at
exactly the same price previously re-
ceived by Aramco and other affili-
ates and subsidiaries.
The sales activity Of Caltex was
reveloped during Saturdays ques-
tioning of H. M. Heron, board chair
man for the Canadian and BAHIA
man concerns.
Mr.. Heron disputed earlier testi-
mony that the Navy had been over
charged some $33,000,00 on it's 1914
As purchases. He insisted all the
Arabian outlets had asked only a
fair price, and that the Navy &C
tually saved some $26,5O0,000 on
purchases, compared with world
prices.
Profits "PIowed Back"
Mr.. Heron said CalteX realized
no profit on it's sales to the Navy
But he conceded that the two for
eign flag subsidiaries made profit
of some $l17000,000 and added, un-
der questioning by Senator Brewster,
that United States taxes were not
paid on this sum because 1t was
"plowed back" into the Arabian oil
project.
Mr.. Heron said $91 ,000, 900 Of the
profits were made by the Canadian
subsidiary on a base capital OF
100000.
Senator Brewster said he would
refer Mr.. Herron's testimony about
taxes to other congressional commit
tees for study.
Questioning of Mr.. Heron delayed
until today committee plans to dig
into a long series of cables between
oil executives here and in Saudi
Arabia relating to royalties and
loans sought by Ibn Saud.

Every Hungry Boy
has a Friend in Nickel

There's one food every boy likes. Bread
And, among other things, todays enriched bread
calls for pure, uniform yeast
But yeast is sensitive The slightest contamination
might alter the yeast and so change the taste and
lightness of the bread.
So the yeast maker and your baker keep their yeast
pure with the help of equipment made of such Nickel
alloys as Stainless Stees.
Stainless Steels stay smooth and bright. These
Nickel alloys also take the hard knocks OF busy
bakery without forming cracks and crevices where
bacteria can hide Thus they promote the spotess
cleanliness that protects and maintains the wholesome
quality of our daily bread.
