Someone gives you bum steer! /"
Ambrose, do you want me to give it to
you?" asks Al politely.
All this Dan has to listen to, looking into
Jake's gun, without saying word. Beside
him Poicewoman Shirley is still sprawled
out in her faint, her eyes closed, her face
white, her hands clutched tightly over her
handbag, her breath coming in quick, short
gasps Dan slides his eyes over to take a
look at her and he thinks what bad luck it
is that he has to draw this baby-faced doll
out of all the cops on the force. And while
he is looking he sees something that makes
him pull in his breath fast. Shirley's hands
are moving, slowly and carefully. They are
unfastening her handbag One of them is
dipping inside it. Dan looks back at Jake
fast But Jake is too busy listening to what
goes on out at the bar to notice.
AM getting sort of impatient, Ambrose"
AL is saying out there. "I1l give you ten

around the side of the partition.
The battle ends about three minutes and

around again and the front view isn't any

kind of hardware in his hand.
The barkeep leans forward. You've got

with it," he says And he reaches out and
puts his hand inside Dams coat and extracts
the thing from his shoulder holster
Dan turns his head for quick look at
Policeman Shirley. She is white and wide
eyed and as Dan watches she let's out
whimpering cry. Then she sinks to the
floor in faint.

Auto Loan Firm Sues
For Insurance License

The Columbia Auto Loan Co.,
Inc, which led the trades recent
successful fight to outlaw the
Districts proposed money-lending
regulations, today was engaged in
another battle all its own.
In District Court, the firm filed
suit to force the District Super
intendent Of Insurance to renew
its insurance brokerage license,
which expired on April 80.
Attorneys Bernard Margolius
and John j. Wilson protested that
Supt. Albert F. Jordan's refusal
to renew the license for another
year was plainly and palpably
wrong"
They objected particularly to
Mr.. Jordan's ruling that his Office
was mot satisfied" that the COM
pany is Trustworthy"
Columbia was and is trustwor-
thy and otherwise qualified" to
continue operation in the auto
mobile insurance business, the suit
declared. The company, located at
2221 Fourteenth street NV, re-
mains in the money-lending busi-
ness, to which the insurance brok-
erage was an adjunct, according
to Mr.. Margolius.
The suit asked the court to
review the renewal question and
to allow Columbia to remain in
the insurance business during the
litigation.
In the money-lending case, the
flrm obtained from Judge Henry
A. Schweinhaut a ruling that the
District Commissioners proposed
regulations to supervise loans
made at less than 6 per cent in
terest exceeded the powers granted
them by Congress.

First Heavy Snow
Since 1870 Cuts Tel
Aviv-JerusoIem Road

TEL AVN, (JTA) = Jewish
Agency officials worked through
the night in freezing tempera-
lures examining conditions in i'm
migrant reception camps in Israel,
following the worst snowfall that
has ever hit this country. A heavy
snow fell in the entire Tel Aviv
area for the first time since 1870,
while the rest of Israel was re-
ported under a deep blanket of
snow.
The city of Tiberias reported
that it is snow-bound. The road
linking Tel Aviv and Jerusalem
has been cut since last night while
the official government radio,
Voice of Israel, cancelled it's pro-
grams owing to the failure of e.
lectric power. Transportation
was reported to have been SER
iously cut throughout the country.
The streets, rooftops and trees
in Tel Aviv are glistening white.
Reports reaching here from var
ious parts of Israel say the snow
fall is continuing everywhere.
The snow storm in Jerusalem to-
day made it impossible for the
regularly scheduled session of the
Israel parliament to take place
since most deputies reside outside
the city.
