When he could quit laughing,
J. G. Wetzell began making brisk
amends.
This is wonderful" he said.
Il had a straight tip that Smelling
was selling me out. Obviously he
got chicken, and wanted an out.
If the designs disappeared from
your Office, he figured, then the
logical suspect would be Allison &
Company. not Smelling"
''Whew!" said Allison. For a
company like this, a story like
that ="
Would be ruinous. As it is,
he's wrecked his own little racket.
When he has to explain last night,
he'll spill everything. And then the
boys he dealt with won't dare
manufacture the lock, for fear of
the scandal. So we're all as good as
new"
why was he 30 cautious about
hiring me?" Allison wanted to
know.
Purely for the record. Actu-
ally, he was determined to hire
you. You gave him a bad time by
coming to the Office. Miss Car
mody. He had told me it was all
set, and he was afraid you'd say
something different. MIR. Allison.
my firm has caused you a lot of
trouble. BY way of apology, let me
offer you the job all over again,
and sweeten the terms.
WHEN Wetzell was gone. there
was a point on which Miss Car
mody needed reinsurance.
WAS it careless to put those de-
signs in the file?" she asked.
Miss Carmody," MIR. Allison
said gravely, those designs were
safer in your files than in the vault
at Fort Knox. But let me ask one
thing, will you? Smelling took the
sweater out of the bottom drawer.
That's where 'Wetzell' would be.

open as if he would prefer having
at it with an ak. He looked dimly
familiar.
The invader strobe right into
Mr.. Allison's Office.
''Hah" he said. It was obvi-
ously just what he had come to i.
say. and ne meant every word of it.
Mr.. Allison wasn't a man to take
that kind of talk lying down.
"Hah, yourself, he said bellig-
erently. WHO are you?"
You'll find out soon enough

I'm G. Wetzell." said ]. G. Wet
zell. II own that lock you and
Smelling are in cahoots about. Go
on, tell me about the robbery"
What robbery are you talking
about?"
'slHE fake robbery, buttercup.
To cover up the fact that Smelling
sold the lock three weeks ago to
my best competitor"
Miss Carmody stared at the big
man.
Candy wrappers, she said.
''She thought all along that Mr..
Smelling was up to something"
Norbert told Mr.. Allison. He just
needed us to take the blame"
well, if you don't want to tell
me about the robbery. Ill tell
you" Wetzell said angrily. Last
night at one-forty-fve, Smelling
came in that window right over
there and stole the designs to the
lock. / wasn't supposed to hear
about it until this morning. But

prised he'd do the job himself. But
can see now he wouldn't want to

Allison. "If Smelling robbed this

Save it for the police"
Its the truth. You can't think

Spare me the innocence. SHELL
ing knew right where to 60. He
didn't need a light - there was
enough from the street light. He
walked right over to the filing cabi-
net. He opened the bottom drawer.
He hauled out a big envelope. He
got in his car. As he went over the
bridge he tossed the envelope in
the river. End of the fake robbery.

"OH, MY goodness!" Miss Car
mody looked stricken.
Its all right, Miss Carmody."
Mr.. Allison told her. THE filing
case was as good as any place else"
But Miss Carmody had walked
to the cabinet. She paused before
it.

For the General Assembly Of
the United Nations is scheduled to
meet in Paris a scant two weeks
later-On Nov. 6-and a govern
mental upset in Great Britain
could a%ggravate greatly the prob
lens of the world. Despite certain
losses in prestige and territories
in parts Of the now-vansihed EN-
pire, Britain still represents a
factor of tremendous importance
in world affairs. This was more
than amply proved by the CON
handing position taken by British
Minister Of State Kenneth Young
er during the Japanese Peace
Treaty Conference in San Fran
cisco. With utmost suavity he
"stole the show" from Soviet sa-
tellite dissidents and set all things
in their proper perspective. 1t is
not impossible that the new
elections may strengthen Attlee's
hand and at the same time give
impetus and momentum to the
Western worlds drive against mi
litant Communism.
POLITICAL OBSERVERS gen
orally believed that Attlee would
not have asked for an election at
this time unless he were confident
Of success.
To complete its program Of So
cialization, the Attlee Labor Gov
eminent has had need of strength
ening it's political position ever
since he election of 1850. AT
that time, Attlee emerged with a
parliamentary majority of seven
votes. Conservative IS Opposition
Leader Winston Churchill put i
mildly, to say the least, when he
said that Labor regime was destin.
ed to be a "precarious" one.

despite all criticism and numer'

fields Of endeavor is now com
plete. The government has not a.
bandoned its plans to take ove1
the lucrative concrete and sugar
industries. And it has been only
the lack Of assured strength. in the
House of Commons that has de-
tered Attlee and his cabinet from
putting many new major issues to
test. Now he apparently feels that
the time has come to make his ma
jor gamble--to Ego to the country

doubt whether the British elector-
ate wants a Socialist regime for
an indeterminate period to come.
1T is ACCEPTED AS A fore
gone conclusion by political OBJ
servers that if the Laborites are
returned to office for another
f~ive-year period in any new early
balloting, the possibility of a con
sentative resurgence in the fore
seeable future is virtually ruled
Britain's election may be com
plicated by the illness of King
George VI. There are growing in
dications that his ailment is a
truly serious one. The question a.
rises asto whether Attlee would
consider it advisable to precipit-
ate elections at a time when it
might be necessary to create a
regency to relieve the monarch
of some or not all of his duties.
BUT OVER AND ABOVE this
is the fact of the forthcoming U.
N. General Assembly meeting in
Paris. 1t is we'll known to the
Chancelleries of Europe that in
addition to the government in
power, Great Britain has a "per-
manent" foreign office which
frames the long-range policies
which arenot affected to any ma
jor degree by political exigenciesof
the moment. But an overwhelm-
ing Laborite victory in new poll
ing-or conversely an overthrow
by the conservatives could place
many international issues on some
thing of a new plane. Either con-
tingency could affect the Paris
meeting.
There can be no break, Of course,
in the solidarity of Britain, re-
gardless Of government, with the
other Western powers. But the
new situation evokes great and in;
teresting possibilities and imposes

The people of Hatteras Island
will be allowed to vote on their
choice of location for the new con-

the 1888, 900 funds due Dare Coun-
ty, if the new County Board of

from state school authorities to

due the county have been idle for
two years in Raleigh while the
value of the dollar has rapidly

COUNTY FINANCES
IN BEST SHAPE
IN MANY YEARS
Commissioners Find All Bills
Paid, Bond Money Ahead,
and Cash in Bank

The condition of Dare County's
finances appear to be in the best
shape in many years, according to
a report made for the Board of
Commissioners and presented
Tuesday by County Accountant,
C. S. Meekins.
In this report, which shows
what can be accomplished by more
businesslike management and the
ability to say no, it is shown that
the County has paid all bond mon
ey due, has paid all it's bills to
date, and carries a bank balance
of about $4,000.
Nearly all departments of the
County are running well within
their budget, the largest over
spending being in the funds for
welfare and particularly direct re-
lief and disqualification. Bills now
in show that some $4,000 more
than was set up have been spent,
with more bills to come in soon.
It's quite a different picture
since the Board of Commissioners
underwent a change 20 months
ago. At that time, the county was
running in the red more than $40,-
900. All this has been paid off, the
report shows. Furthermore, sub
stantial increases in salaries have
been made, more money allotted
by far for welfare, health, and
other purposes, and equipment
and improvements added to the
courthouse.
