ting in the chair! And the jittery
man near the wall who was staring
at him with cold piercing eyes was
his twin brother, Ed.
Johnny took a long linen cloth,
spread it in front of Dick, then
pinned it around his neck. So these
were the kidnappers who had made
the headlines two weeks before!
They were 700 miles from the coast
where they had collected $4,000 in
ransom money, and the F.B.I. was
supposed to be hot on their trail.
Don't cut it too Short" Dick
said, ''just give me a good quick
trim, and make neat job"
After picking up the clippers,
Johnny turned his back on Ed. He
had a good view Of him in the
mirror.
'Been in these parts long?" Ed
asked behind him.
Lived on a farm outside of town
OH LILY uAS, SACSpt W1ClA ! was LA

the clippers up the back Of Dicks
neck.
'You don't look like a farmer
to me-" Ed growled, his voice full
of suspicion.
whats eatin' you Ed?" Dick
grunted.
Johnny became shaky when he
saw Eds hand grip something in
his coat pocket again. He began to
work faster and the back of Dicks
head didn't look so good.
''After ALL" Johnny thought, ga
fellow who had cut hair only
aboard transport on the way back
from Japan couldn't do too good Of
a job, especially on a mop Of hair
like this Dapper Dick had"
For a minute or two Ed watched
in silence, then he stood up and
put the valise on the chair. Put

pulling open 4 drawer he reached
far inside.
Suddenly he whirled about, q 80
in his hand.
The brothers were taken by sur
prise. Ed mumbled, II told you he
was one of Hoover's men,"
Holding the gun in his left hand.
Johnny used his right to throw
the clippers at the big bulk store
window.
Amid the crash Of glass, Johnny
backed around to the door, and as
he unbolted it, he could hear run
ming feet on the pavement.
Sheriff Ike Willard was among
the crowd that hurried to investi-
gate the noise caused by the break
ing window.
After Johnny explained who the
brothers were, Ike smiled and said,
''Local boy captures big city slick
ers."
Still rubbing his hand over the
back of his neck, Dick mused, ''then
you amt a Fed, heh?" He looked
at his brother and added, ''Why
didn't you shoot the punk?"
Johnny waited until Sheriff Ike
took guns away from the brothers,
then he smiled and said, II thought

loaded gun in the drawer-but

SPECIAL DELIVERY
WSl %rM


Mr.. C. J. Fletcher,
Commissioner of Motor Vehicles,
State Of New York
Dear Sir:
noticed q recent speech by you
to a safety council in which you
came out for greater control OF
pedestrians as necessary to cutting
down auto accidents. see what
you mean. The way pedestrians are
tearing around at top speed no au-
tomobile is safe, eh?
It is tough driving an auto these
days on account of the streets are
so full of reckless walkers, like
you say. A car never knows when
Il is going to get hit. A driver
is apt to be plotting his sedan out
of a side street when - sOckO! -
some careless pedestrian rams
right into him!
I take it that you think il these
people who insist on going around
town on foot would be reasonable
and keep themselves under control
it would be o. K. for them to use
the streets, but once a community
lets them operate in pair OF shoes
they think they own the roads.
Only today I was driving my
uncle's lotion truck out of an alley
ION the red light when a woman
pushing a baby carriage came
right at me full speed with no horn
or anything and bang goes my
right fender. The baby carriage
has no brakes and does not dim its
lights. What is worse, / find the
baby has no road license and the
mother is SO ignorant she thinks
q green light gives her some pro-
lection. What are you going to do
with q pedestrian like that?
A few days ago / saw an old lady
ON her way home from the fruit
store with a bag of apples and what
does she do? Just because she has
the light with her she starts to cross
the street. So what happens? She
crashes into a taxicab speeding
along minding it's own business!
(She was not even a registered apple
bag carrier.) And you take the
buses, commissioner: Do pedes'
trians give them a decent break?
No. While a bus driver is care
fully feeling his way down a street
at 60 per hour, what are pedes'
trians doing? Dashing out at him
from all directions. There ought to
be a law. No vehicle is safe on the
streets today.
By all means press this drive foI
a law to control pedestrians before
more automobilists get hurt. Do moi
accept any halfway measures. Make
every pedestrian take road test.
If he walks fast and does not slow
down at crossings keep him off the
streets. The situation is serious
You have been lenient with walkers
long enough. the big buns!
Sincerely,
Elmer.

TOMMY LISIK sat in the barber
j chair smiling as he fingered
through the pages of the magazine,
looking at the cartoons.
In the mirror in front Of him he
saw the two men peer through the
store window. He expected that
they would move on once they saw
that Tony, the owner of the shop,
wasn't there. Johnny's reputation as
a barber wasn't too good, and he
had had only one dissatisfied custo-
mer all night.
Suddenly it dawned on Johnny
that these two men had appeared at
the window a few minutes before.
He couldn't be mistaken. They
both had several weeks stubble on
their faces, and hair was growing
over their ears and down their
necks.
The door opened and the men
stepped inside. Johnny WINGED.
1t was almost eight o'clock. He'd
have to work overtime.
Johnny pushed himself out of the
chair and noticed that both men
were as tall as he, but lean. He
saw eyes that were alert, but could
stand some sleep. Beneath the
growth of whiskers were thin faces
that needed few square meals to
help fill out the sunken jaws. And
good whiskbroom could be used
to advantage to remove some OF
the dust from their clothing.
''You the only barber here?" one
of the men snapped as he set a
small valise on chair.
Johnny didn't like the mans
surly tone. He hunched his broad
shoulders, stretched to his full six
feet, and was tempted to toss the
two haggard looking gents out of
the shop, but decided that that
might hurt Tony's business.
''Yeah," answered Johnny cas-
ually, realizing that he had never
seen the men in town before, 'the
owner of the shop took his wife out
tonight, and I'm filling in for him. +"
'Tn go first, Ed" the spokesman
for the two said as he began to re-
move his coat.
The man called Ed grunted, II
don't like takin' this chance, Dick, +"
then he Topped on chair near the
wall and pulled the valise to him.
''Forget it," Dick grinned, II feel
lousy with all this hair on me. A
good clean shave and haircut will
pep us up"
Johnny walked to the door and
started to pull down the shade.
Ed jumped to his feet knocking
the valise on the floor, his hand
flashing to his coat pocket with the
same movement. What are you
doin' that for?" he snapped men,
acingly.
Johnny was stunned by the sud-
den outburst. He found his voice
and explained, "It's getting near
closing time. I'm pulling the shades
down SO that no one else will come
in
Dick giggled and said, you've
got the filters, Ed. We don't want
anyone else to come in here, do
WEI"
Suspicion arose in Johnny's mind.
The mems names had a familiar
ring. Ed and Dick! Where had
he seen or heard these names link
ed together before?
He went to the store window and
pulled down the big shade, and the
three, men were hidden from the
eyes of any passerby. He wished
he hadn't thought about the shades.
He had an uneasy feeling now that
he was alone with the two men.
Ed saw the bolt lock on the in
side of the door and said, That's
right, Dick, we don't want anybody
else comm in here" With two long
strides he reached the door and
pushed the bolt barrel into place.

Reuther Promises
To Broadcast Names
OF UAW Candidates
BY the Assoeiafad Press

DETROIT, Oct. 25.-Promising to
return to the air next Sunday to
name the candidates supported by
the United Auto Workers, Walter
P. Reuther, UAW-CIO president
yesterday told radio audience that
the Republican Party seeks to en-
rich great corporations by turning
over to them natural resources.
In a radio broadcast over the
American Broadcast1ng Co. network,
Mr.. Reuther accused the COP of
"oficially and frankly" advocating
turning the Tennessee Valley
Authority and the development OF
atomic energy over to private busi-
ness and at the same time planning
to give private corporations con-
troll of tidelands oil.
He characterized these three
items as comprising the most
gigantic steal ever proposed in all
history"
Mr.. Reuther told his listeners that
he was limited to speaking of cam
paign issues in yesterdays talk
because the radio time was paid for
out of UAW funds and that section
304 OF the Taft-Hartley Act denied
the right of free speech. by for
bidding labor unions to buy radio
time to indorse candidates.
However, Mr.. Reuther said he
would name the candidates sup
ported by the UAW-CIO in a radio
address next Sunday paid for by
voluntary contributions.
Mr.. Reuther already has voiced
his personal support of the Truman
Barkley Democratic ticket.
A spokesman for ABC in New
York said the cost of yesterdays
Reuther broadcast was $4,000.
