Gen. Fleming was made Under
secretary of Commerce for Trans
portation and Admiral Cochrane
was called from NIT to take the
dual post of chairman of the
board and administrator. 1t took
war in Korea to get him to leave
his duties at the institute where
the Navy sends promising con-
struction officers for training.
He has described his situation
at NIT as gratifying and happy"
There he was found frequently
in his shirt sleeves-in the shop
working with students on models
of ships whose design they were
concerned with. What impelled
him to take his present job he
described this way in a recent
speech:
CAS- the Korean situation de-
veloped the very strong conviction
began to grow upon me that this
is by no means simple job nor
one which will be closed finally
with the success of the armed
forces in Korea.
II have long had the feeling that
our generation cannot give too
satisfactory an account of its
stewardship in the world to the
generations which will succeed us.
AS this conviction grew so did the
strength of that voice within me.
the voice of conscience, until I
was compelled to agree to come
back to Washington to do what
is within my power to further
the state of readiness of the West
ern nations against the eventu-
alities which unfortunately seem
so certain to develop"

The transition from warship
construction to merchant ships is
not so great as it may seem. To-
day merchant ships are built with
their possible use in war kept in
mind. Also, there is this remark
by Rear Admiral Charles D. Whee-
lock about Admiral Cochrane:
HE is a young minded man
who can change and reorient his
position"
Admiral Wheelock, now deputy
and assistant chief of the Bureau
of Ships, worked under Admiral
Cochrane when he was chief.

MONTE CARLO (R.-This
tiny. sun-drenched flower-be-
decked principality on the
shores of the blue Mediter-
ranean is on its uppers.
The war in Korea has kept
away the rich Americans, and
postwar hard times in Europe
have thinned the stream of
wealthy European gamblers to
a mere trickle.
The days of dramatic suicides
by beautiful. red-haired Hun
garian girls and devil-may-
care Englishmen attempting to
break the bank at Monte
Carlo" are gone.
A simple statistic:
Back In the careless sos, the
Monaco government took In
about 120.000.000 francs a year
from the gaming table, its
major source of revenue. These
days the figure Is down to
100000 francs.
But Monaco still is an ideal
place for getting away from it
all-if you can afford it-for
these reasons:
/. Wonderful warm climate.
2. The principality calls itself
one of the cleanest areas on
earth. due to determined sys-
tenn of washing the streets three
or four times a day.
3. No industry to speak of.
There's a beer plant, and five
dockers work in the port.
4. No Communist Party.
S. No overcrowding for the
total population of $4,000.
6. A constant series of exclu-
sive showings of films, periodic
$1,500 fireworks displays, gilt
tering balls. symphony concerts,
showings by the famed Monte
Carlo ballet.
Z. No labor strife. Except for
a Today strike of Casino en-
ployes last April. there never
has been a strike that lasted
more than "a hours.
Monaco officials deplore the
absence Of the 200 English who
used to come for three or four
months stay before the war,
and religiously dress for dinner
each night.
They also deplore the many
Americans who have stayed
away, despite the effort to at
tract them by introducing the
game OF craps in the Casino.
Commissioner general of tour
ism, Gabriel Olivier, has gone
all-out to make the wealthy
feel at home. All visitors of note
find their hotel rooms crowded
with free flowers, and have a
secretary at their disposal.

T Tension Pays Off

All our pleas to France to agree
to our plans to organize an efficient
German army SO far have been
in vain. France expects the ut
most assistance from us in Europe
and in Indo-China. But the pol
iticians at the head of the govern
ment are unwilling to help us by
overlooking old hatreds, prejudices
and fears.
France does not seem to realize
that our resources are not mex
haustible. We are saddled with an
expenditure of $50 billion for this
fiscal year. This is at a time when
the national debt totals $3.50 bill
lion and nobody can foresee how
much more we shall have to spend
on our own and our Allies arma-
ment in the next four years.
All this is good news to the
Kremlin, however. It's plan for
a war of attrition against America
appears to be succeeding. The
tension which the Politburo has
created in the last four years to
undermine our economic system
is paying dividends. If this ten
sion continues-and there is no
indication that Russia will mod
crate 1.-THE American budget will
become astronomical.

And this gate is kept locked?"
That's right"
"Show me exactly where you

told the young private who was
standing a few PAGES back.

He set his lips tightly and gave
Shayne an agonized glance.
"You did some damned good
shooting" Shayne said calmly to
Carson. He frowned. "Why the
hell was Dinky Moore walking up
that road at 2 o'clock in the

taken it for another road?"
Don't see how" Blake said
doubtfully. Here's something else

about a quarter of a mile down

but could see nothing whatever
except the small clearing to denote
human activity on the key. It
was a masterful job of camou-
f1aging a submarine base.
Capt. Richards was sitting be-
hind a desk. He surveyed the
Miami detective stonily. Have
you made any progress?"
"a little" Shayne tossed his
hat, on the desk and lowered his
body into a chair. I'D like to see
all the men who were on guard
duty last night"
The captain called through the
open door: "Corpl. Yonkers.

CHAPTER THREE.

It was 11:42 when Shayne
stopped in front of an open gate
In a 10-foot fence of closely
meshed galvanized wire at right
angles across the road. A sentry
with a bayoneted rifle stood in the
middle of the road between the
gateposts. Beyond him, the under
brush had been cleared off 20
acres of fiat land, none of which
was more than 5 feet above high
tide. Three long, unpainted build
ings stood in the center of the
clearing, grouped around flag
pole surmounted by the American
flag. Another small frame building
stood behind the sentry near the
gate.
AS Shayne got out, the sentry
called over his shoulder, Sergeant
Of the Guard. Post Number One. :"
And to Shayne, he said, Advance

A sergeant came trotting from

Shayne got out his wallet and
tipped it open to show his pri-
vate license. The sergeant care
fully compared the picture on the
license with Shayne's face, then
grunted, "All right I guess. You'll
have to leave your jalopy outside.

last night. Tell him anything he
wants to know" He turned
abruptly and went back into his
Office, shutting the door.
Shayne grinned at the soldiers.
They were all young, and all seri-
ous-faced. He said, Even though
it embarrasses your captain. I
think I'm going to prove that a
man was murdered last night"
One of the privates gave start
and opened his mouth as though
to protest. It was Private Carson.
Shayne said, Don't take that
personally. Carson. Moore's mur-
derer didn't necessarily pull the
trigger that killed him." He
paused, then demanded. "How
many of you knew the dead man?"
No one replied.
"One of you knew him, "rShayne
told them casually. 'He wouldn't
have kept coming that way unless
he felt sure he knew the man who
was pretending to halt him. That
is" He glanced at the sergeant.
IF we're sure Carson did try to
halt him. Has that been verified?"
Eyes, sir" soldier down the
line spoke up Unexpectedly. "I was
on Number Three Post. I heard
Carson yell three times"
Shayne nodded. "Yet none of
you admit knowing Moore? All
right. How many Of you knew his
wife?"
There was shuffling of feet.
No other reply.
How many of you have been
at the Lido Club?" Shayne
snapped.
Sergeant Blake answered for
him. Hell. they've all been there.
Me too"
IF you've been to the Lido. don't
tell me you don't know Laura. Not
a bunch of soldiers"
Blake grunted. Maybe we do.
They're all hot numbers at the
Lido. But you don't have to know
a DANES name to-dance with
her."

line of men. He said, Cali Of you
