Diplomats Ignore
Governors S Speech,
Vishinsky WoIkout
By Stefan Andrews
North American Newspaper Alliance

Soviet Foreign Minister Andre
Vishinsky's walkout at United
Nations dinner may be another
blow to international understand
ing, but diplomatic officials here
have chosen to ignore it.
The walkout occurred when
Gov. Thomas E. Dewey made a
pointed reference to slave labor
| in Russia at a New York dinner
for U. N. delegates. Both Mr.
Vishinsky and Russian Delegate
Jacob Malik promptly walked out
Asked about the effect of this
latest rupture on the interna-
tional situation, a State Depart
ment spokesman said the Official
reaction was mo comment"
The departments attitude was
that it saw no reason to get itself
involved in what was purely a So
cial function sponsored not by
the United States Government
but by the city of New York.
Feel They Had 1t Coming.
However, the private reaction
of some diplomatic officials was
somewhat different. While a
number conceded that Gov. Dewey
may have been rude in making
such remarks at a social function,
the concensus was that Mr.,
Vishinsky and his Russian COL
league had it coming.
"Vishinsky has not been overly
cautious in the past about some
of the remarks directed at men,
bers of the United States delega-
ton and he should not be so
thin-Skinned' when he gets back
some Of his own medicine" said
one official.
The attitude was that Mr..
Vishinsky's previous intemperate
attacks in the U. N. Council
chamber had angered people in
this country, both public and
private. to the point where they,
too, were ready to do some plain
speaking.
In that respect, Washington
reaction seemed to coincide with
the feeling of some of the people
at the dinner. Gov. Dewey's re-
mark that the Soviet Union had
10 to Is million people living as
slave labor repeatedly was greeted
by widespread applause.
Cheers Reported.
The big audience was reported
to have actually cheered when
Gov. Dewey added, as Mr.. Vishin-
sky and Mr.. Malik were leaving
that he was "complimented by
the withdrawal of those who plot
the destruction of the world
however. one somber note was
struck here. This was that no
matter whether Gov. Dewey or
Mr.. Vishinsky was guilty of bad
manners, the cause of internation-
al understanding was not fur
thered by the incident.
A diplomatic officer who had
seen service in Moscow pointed out
that Gov. Dewey apparently for
got that the Russians at the U. N.
nave been making a sharp dis
junction between their utterances
IN the Council chamber and out
side.

Ellery said hastily: "No one but

without suspicion. Who could
have had such access? Only one
person: The man who had been

afternoons and evenings-around
dinner time-for over a month:
the man who worked in a chem

Sarah-Ann had motive-hatred

pared the food herself. But
Sarah-Ann I eliminated on the
soundest basis in the world.
For who had brutally beaten
to death the seventh black tom
cat? 1t couldn't have been Euphe-
mia, since the cat was killed in
the bathroom and Euphemia lay
paralyzed in the bedroom, unable
to walk. Then it must have been
the murderer who killed the cat.
But if Sarah-Ann were the mur-
derer, would she have dubbed to
death a cat-she, who loved cats?
Utterly inconceivable. Therefore

Then what"
II know. What happened to
Sarah-Ann?" Ellery grimaced.
"Sarah-Ann, it is to be feared,
went the way of the cat and her
sister 1t must have been the
poisoner's plan to kill Euphemia
and have it appear that Sarah
Ann had killed her-the obvious
suspect. Sarah-Ann, then, should

Well, her disappearance tends to
show-I think the confession will
bear me out-that she was acci-
dentally a witness to the murder
and was killed by the poisoner on
the spot to eliminate a witness to
the crime. He wouldn't have
killed her under any other cir

She choked back a scream, her

harsh voice-the sounds of a
struggle-a crash they were

Miss Curleigh saw red. She
flung open the door of the closet
and plunged out. Ellery was on

arms and legs. A hand came up

she swung her feet unsteadily to

Did you know that awful
creature was coming back?"
Ellery shrugged. 1T was a like
ly possibility. Euphemia had been
poisoned, patiently, for her hidden
money. Had the murderer found
the money after killing her? Then
who was the prowler whom we
surprised this afternoon and who
made his escape out the window
after barricading the door? It
must have been the murderer.
But if he came back after the
crime, then he had not found the
money when he committed the
crime. If he had not, I knew he
would come back-after all, he
had committed the crime for it.
So took the chance that he
would return when he thought the
coast was clear, and he did. I
