with cigarettes and a gunmetal
lighter. Billings shook his head.
Sorry, no smoking until after
take-off." She gave him an apollo
getic smile, nodded, let the OBJ
jects rest in her lap while she
buckled her safety-belt.
Fritz Pfeiffer stood motionless
for moment, eyes probing each
occupant of the plane. Finally he
sat down beside his wife.
HEX JEFFREYs dragged his mu-
settle bag to a position between his
feet, sat down, and spread, his
blanket over his knees. He looked
up at Billings. Give us a smooth
ride, will you? I'm the worlds
worst sailor"
Josh Billings grinned. Should
be smooth as silk on a day like
this, sir" He cooked critical ear.
The plane had reached the end of
the runway. Maddox was revving
up the engines. They sounded
good: strong and sweet and eager.
He sat down beside Peggy Wade
and buckled his belt.
The engines roared in unison, a
shattering sound. The plane picked
up speed. Beyond the open door,
the runway flashed past, a gray
blur. Maddox held her down until
he had plenty of speed, then he
eased back on the control column.
The CAT shot off the ground like
a scared partridge.
Billings unbuckled Peggy's belt.

chores to do back here"

wolf Maddox, though"
PEGGY laughed. IN keep an
eye on him" She went through
the narrow passage between the
gasoline drums. The plane was at
two thousand feet, now, and still
climbing. Behind them, the early
sun laid golden fingers along the
wings. Their course was due west
from Berlin, then later southwest
for Frankfurt -am-Main.
Elena Pfeiffer raised her ciga-
rette lighter with questioning
look. Nov may smoke, please?"

Billings stood up. Just let me
check these gasoline drums"
He began unscrewing the caps
quickly, glancing in, then replac-
ing them. The cap on the third
drum stuck. While he was wrest-
ling with it, the English captain
brushed past him without a word
and disappeared through the door.
Billings looked after him surprised;
then he shrugged. If Maddox did
MT want more visitors on the fight
deck, he'd send the Britisher back
quick enough.
In the pilots seat, Maddox
called over the roar of the engines,
That you, Junior? Go away. /

He stopped abruptly, feeling the
cold circle of steel touch the back
of his neck. Beside him Peggy
Wade looked around, clapping her
hand to her mouth to stifle
scream.

the man in the British uniform
said clearly, you will not be hurt.

said. Pressure of the pistol barrel
increased. DO not argue, Cap
tain. Kindly fly the heading l am

In the fuselage, Fritz Pfeiffer sat
bolt upright suddenly. "Achtnng!"
His face sharpened. I'VE change
course! Why is that?"
Josh Billings looked up, the cap
of the last gasoline tank in his
hand. 1t was true; the CAT was in
gentle bank to the left. The sun,
which had been behind them,
swung into view through the open
ing in the side of the plane. The
ruddy light redeemed the benign
face of the American colonel,
glinted on the polished buttons of
the man in the uniform of a British
major.

M. Coffee, party nominee in
the Sixth Congressional Dist.
During the primaries an in
tensive newspaper advertising
campaign was carried ON by
Jack Duncan, another Democrat
and Coffee's principal oppon-
ent for the nomination.
These ads used strong words
in describing Coffee, such as
appeaser" and "discredited,"
said he twas removed from Of
flee in humiliating fashion,
and predicted his current come
back attempt will fail "be-
cause he was neither a true
representative of his party. nor
of the people. F"
In view of this, Magnuson S
embracing of Coffee has his
supporters concerned over the
effects it will have on the SEN
ator' s own campaign, not only
in the Sixth District, but
throughout the state-if the
word gets out.
This affliction. which is high
" contagious, is particularly
niticeable among party workers
in the four congressional dis
tricts already represented by
Republicans.
The heavy vote piled up in
the primaries by the four con-
gressmen-all unoppoeed for
nomination is responsible.
The Democrats meanwhile are
taking full advantage-are not
writing any district off. They
are pouring effort and money
into each of the six districts,
even those which they previ-
ously have considered hopeless.

Because of the space required
to print a digest of the plat
form planks, the preamble of
a political party's platform
seldom receives any mention
in the daily press.
But usually the platform

any other part of the platform.
Though unnoticed. it frequently
represents the party's Sunday
punch.

inside reason why Civ. Langlie
blocked an attempt last week
to put the Republican state con-
vention on record against
state income tax is that he in
sisted on taking a realistic
attitude.
He previously had told the
press it is possible to avoid
any new or increased taxes. He
has not changed this view.
However, this is entirely
contingent upon the will of the
voters-who must act November
7 on Initiative IT'S and the three
bond issues.
He told the convention del
egates that if Initiative ITS ie
defeated the present welfare
law, which is plunging the state
into the red at the rate of three
millions a month, might remain
in effect another two years.
This would make additional
revenue mandatory to avert
bankruptcy.
He insisted the Republican
Party must take a realistic
attitude and allow for all con-
tingencies by not closing the
door to any revenue sources.
He thus in effect left the
tax matter up to the voters who
three times previously have
vetoed state income tax. The
alternative is subtle, but it s

and the three bond issues or

SOME TIPS FOR VETERANS

UOINO IL SCHOOL This FALL
A roundup of G. I. Bill rules
and regulations has been issued
by the Veterans Administration to
help veterans plan ahead for their
school terms this fall The VA
stressed that now is the time
veterans should do their planning,
because several weeks sometimes
are required to get preliminaries
out of the way.
Veterans who intend to go ahead
this fall with the same course at
school they have previously
attended need not contact the VA
at all. They should, howver, make
certain the school has room for
them.
Those who want to continue in
the same course but at a different
school should obtain a supple
mental certificate of eligibility
from the VA. On the certificate,
they must name the school and
course. Then, at the time of en-
rollment, they present the certif-
icate to the school.
Veterans who wish to make their
first change from one general field
of study to another (from law to
engineering, for example, may do
SO simply by applying for sup
Elemental certificate.)
Veterans who already have
changed general fields of study
under the G. I. i'll and now wish
to change again should apply to
the VA. They may be required to
undergo advisement and guidance
to determine whether they are in
need of the course and have the
aptitude necessary to complete
the training.
Veterans who have not yet
trained under the G. I. Bill and
plan to start this fall, should ap-
ply at the nearest VA office for
an original Certificate of Eligi-
bility. The name of the school and
course must be included in the
application and the application,
together with photostatic copy
of discharge papers, should be sent
to the nearest regional VA office.
After veterans receive their GER
tificates, they should keep it until
they actually enroll.
QUESTION OF THE WEEK:
Q. I read somewhere that Ma
tional Guardsmen injured on active
training duty may be eligible for
disability benefits administered by
the VA, regardless of how long
ago they suffered injury. What
about those of us in the reserves?
A. The same provisions apply to
Reservists. In all cases, however,
benefit payments may not be made
retroactive prior to August Is,
1945.

Tupe Recorder
Ace Reporter
IN Korea

It's a tape recording kit and
not a typewriter that's helping
MICS news correspondents cap
ture the sounds and comments of
the war in Korea for presentation
to the American listening public.
The recorder, no larger than a
physicians bag, is as self-sufficient
as the portable radio seen at beach
es across the country. 1t operates
on the same type batteries which
power the radio and can be taken
to the beaches at the front with
equal facility.
However, the machine is a
recorder" only. The only draw
back is that its operator cannot
tell whether he has caught any
thing, because the recorder has no
play back system. But because
of the kits ease of operation, the
"foolproof' aspect of the recorder,
this is more than compensated for.
To use the machine, the CORE
spondent plugs a microphone,
slightly larger than a postage
stamp, in the set, flips a switch
to start the reel of magnetized
plastic tape revolving, and he
can record fifteen minutes with
out stopping.
Each of MICS four war corre-
spondents in the Tokyo Korea
area has a recording outfit, and
carries it everywhere. It has be-
come a favorite among the news
men. Not only does it pick up the
correspondents report, but it cap
lures the sounds of war at the
moment that they are news.
The recording unit made its first
appearance near the end of World
War II, but the apparatus was
cumbersome, requiring heavy bat
teries or generators when no cleo
trio power was available. Now,
as the result of mechanical and
electronic improvements, an y
where a man can go, he can take
and use the tape recorder.
