"A thousand whether there's box or not?'
"A thousand for the dive" Parker said
quickly.
IF don't find one, it's just my word for
it," He wanted Parker to think of that to
worry. When he came up tomorrow with
nothing, Parker would remember, and never
know if there really had been box, or if this
was his way of getting revenge.
'"You always did your job, Nick Then it's
settled?"
Nick looked into the drawn face opposite
him. He hated this man with all the deep
rooted hurt of man who's lost everything
And now Parker was begging him to save the
company he'd spent lifetime building After
two years, Parker was forging the weapon
which put revenge into his hands He hesi-
tated, savoring the moment Across from him
Parker sat tense, nervously waiting Let him
wait, he thought. Let him know what it's
like to be at the end of your rope
Parker asked again: Its settled, Nick?"
Nick nodded. Parker stood up, and some
thing like sigh came out of him. He hest
tated, then said: 'See you in the morning.
Make it early, because of the storm The
MoAy-O is lynn at Fisherman's Wharf"
After ned gone, Nick finished his beer, not
thinking of tomorrow. Thinking, instead, of
Laura - and of two years ago. 1t had been
wonderful world of music, laughter and
dreams. Laura had said, Eyes"
In THOSE days there'd been only Laura and
Burt Childs. Burt was Nicks diving partner
with the Parker Company. Their motto:
mo dive too Deep no job too tough" They
were pals, and naturally spent their time
ashore together. Ashore meant Laura Parker
to Nick. 1t never nlattered if they couldn't
find fourth for Burt The three would 60
out together. They filled many wonderful
nights with singing as they drove to some
country. dance. They'd take turns dancing
with Laura, and ribbing each other for any
misstep Three was no crowd to Nick - when
Laura was in love with him and the third
party was Burt Childs
Then The Viking job came up The Viking
was an old stern-wheeler, that'd blown a
boiler and sunk in a hundred feet of water
and ten feet of silt. They'd washed the silt
away. He and Burt were down, hooking a
cable around the bow, when she slowly,
gravely turned over. Nick had his hand on
Burts shoulder, pulling him up, when some
trick of the outward push Of water swept him
to safety, and caught Burt under the topping
hull
He'd tried to explain. But. You were
workin' together" Parker yelled. "You got
panicky and ran out. There's no place in
divin' for a man like you - III see to that.
Burt would be alive, if you had any gutsr'
He'd seen Parker's accusing face through
red film. Then, suddenly, he was smashing
into it with driving fists. When he walked out,
Parker was on the floor. Laura, whom he'd
expected to understand, shook her head, tears

Bus-TroIIey Rehearing
DELAYED Until June II

The Public Utilities Commission
today postponed until June II a re-
hearing on its ruling that the
Capital Transit Co. may not sub
stitute buses for streetcars over the
eastern half of its Rosslyn- Benning
line. The rehearing originally had
been set for tomorrow.
The delay was granted at the re-
quest of transit company attorneys.
They told the PUG they needed
more time to prepare exhibits to
support their case.
The transit company was turned
down by the PUG on a proposal to
convert to buses over the Rosslyn-
Benning route everywhere east of
Fifteenth street NV. The North
east Businessmen's Association
spearheaded a successful fight to
keep the streetcars, contending the
value of business property along H
street NE. would be greatly en-
dangered by the change.

Senate Kills Provision
To. SET DecontroI Rate
In Rent Extension Bill
Rx the A.saeiaisd Pres,

The Senate reversed itself to-
day and struck from it's rent
control extension bill a provision
requiring decontrol at a fixed
rate.
BY a voice vote it removed an
amendment by Senator Mccarthy,
Republican, of Wisconsin, which
would have required that per cent
Of areas under control be freed of
such controls each month.
At present, there are about 800
areas in the country under control.
At the start, therefore, the McCar-
thy amendment would have re-
quired decontrol of about 30 areas
a month.
Senator Fulbright, Democrat, of
Arkansas led the move for reconsid-
ering the amendment, which he
said was adopted last Thursday
without debate and when only a few
Senators were on the floor.
Senator Fulbright argued that the
bill now being considered by the
Senate to extend rent controls
through next February 10. sets up
adequate provisions for decontrol

Briggs, UAW Resume
Talks 10 Avert Strike;
Ford Tieup Continues
u ,he Asseeioi.d Press

DETROIT, June 2.--The Briggs
Manufacturing Co. resumed nego-
tiations today with the CIO United
Auto Workers In m effort to head
on . threatened strike by about
10000 employees.
Meanwhile $500 members Of the
independent Foreman's Association
of America voted to continue q
walkout at the Ford Motor Co.
which started May 81.
A strike ct Briggs, which supplies
automobile bodies for Chrysler
Corp. and Packard Motor Car Co,
could tie up production at both
those plants.
Briggs operates eight plants In
Detroit and one at Evansville, Ind.
Strike action was approved here
yesterday by two Detroit locals, sub
ject to call by union officers. SIM
liar action was taken last Thursday
by the Evansville local.
Union officials said the walkout
would not be ordered before Thurs
day when 30-day cooling Of" Pc
riod expires.
Main point at issue, union officials
said, are changes In the general
contract being asked by the COM
pany. The union Is also asking for
a 1874 cent hourly wage increase.
Efforts to end the Ford foremen's
strike have been deadlocked over
the company's demand that the men
60 back to work before negotiations
are resumed. The union is asking
exclusive bargaining rights for all
Ford foremen and other contract
changes. Wages are not at issue.
Voting to continue the strike at q
