to compete in the tourna-
ment. The action, however, is
usually as great as found in
the more experienced bouts.
All bouts are sanctioned by
the AAU and are scheduled for
three rounds.
9 Many of these boys will be in
b the ring for the first time and
will be kept going more by de-
termination tn an experience.
Excitement runs high in these
tournaments and the spectators
always get more than their
moneys. worth.
AT this time seven members
of the Local IL boxing team are
planning to enter the meet. All
are beginners but have shown
plenty of enthusiasm. There isn't
one of the group who isn't po-
tential top-notch amateur boxer.
Willie Window, a 147-pound
swinger, heads the list of en-
tries. Window. a stiff punching
tear in type of fighter, will
cause plenty of trouble in his
weight.
Others from Local IL will be
Fletcher Sawyer, featherweight;
Duane Cronenwelt, feather
weight; Nor bert Sede1bauer,
middleweight; Walter Brady,
welterweight; M. j. Hill bantam
weight, and Bob Mann middle
weight.
Tournaments of this nature
are excellent for the promotion
of amateur boxing as they. offer
youngsters the opportunity to
break into the sport against
competition which is almost
even.
The chance for injury is re-
duced as boy is not meeting
an opponent who has had 20 or
80 fights. This also tends to keep
the bouts from being one-sided.
All in all a very enjoyable
evening is in store for you.
Opening bout tonight will start
at 8 o'clock.

The man behind the desk raised mild brown
eyes that did not seem to go with the silver
eagles on his shoulders. He said, "Oh, yes.
Sit down, Captain"
Jim Henderson sat down, estimating the
man in front of him. Barker, he knew, was
G-2: Intelligence. He did not look particu-
larly intelligent, Jim decided; he looked like
benign high-school teacher playing soldier.
The Colonel touched sheaf of papers and
Jim recognized one of his own reports This
performance data on your latest experimental
model Quite extraordinary. If - ah - true"
Jim controlled his annoyance "It's quite
correct, sir"
The Colonel tapped with pencil and stared
into space until Jim began to wonder if he
was dealing with an idiot. Brass hats, he
thought acidly, the bane of every Army. He
hoped devoutly that the Russians had bigger
and brassier ones.
Suddenly the Colonel spoke. This report
gives performance data in some detail 1t says
nothing about the revolutionary construction
methods you must have used. Do you think
you could prepare such report quickly?"
"Yes, sir" said jim. Il think could"
Good" said the Colonel briskly. "Ill
have an office assigned to you and see that
you get some stenogaphic help. You might
as we'll make start this afternoon"
"In Berlin?" said Jim incredulously.
The Colonel smiled pleasantly. 'Why not?"
"All my notes and records and blueprints
are back at -"

pressed his buzzer and the WAC appeared.

legs. 'T'd also like to see the Colonel again"
Il think he wants to see you, too" She
turned. Here you are, sir. Schultz, Hilda."
He took the card and read the close-typed
information. Name. Age. Sex. Qualifca-
tions. Her marital status, he noted, was
widow. Husband killed 1914. Brother miss
ing in action. Domiciled with parents, 86
Leopoldstrasse.
He handed the card back 'Shes a mighty
handsome widow"
The WAC shifted. IF you like the frigid
type"
Jim grinned. Il like all types, Lieutenant"
She smiled and clicked an interofice switch.
Captain Henderson to see you, Colonel"
Colonel Barker looked up from some papers
and showed his glasses up on his forehead in
a gesture that made him look more like
schoolteacher than ever. well, how did it
go? Can she handle the technical stuff"
'She can handle it, all right" Jim said,
''but honestly, Colonel think we'd be taking
terrible chance letting an alien transcribe
a report like that! / don't care how reliable
she's supposed to be; anyone can be bribed.
Suppose she managed to get copy of it to
our friends with the red stars on their hats.
Why, they could just sit down and build
model from scratch. They wouldn't even
have to
Jim stopped The Colonel was smiling at
him as if he were fairly bright pupil in the
sixth grade. The Colonel said, How long
would it take them to build it, Captain? Even
if they had such report?"
How long? Six months, at least Maybe
year. But -"
"And how much manpower and material
would it tie up?"
why, quite lot, of course. But go"
The Colonel pushed the vacant chair in
Jm's direction. This report =" his fingers
drummed for moment -'I suppose it
would not be too difficult to make it only
seem possible to construct missile from it?'
Jim grinned and relaxed. Maybe the Colo
mel wasn't so dumb after ALL.
IHREE days later, when Hilda Schultz came
home through fine steel curtain of rain, the
men were waiting for her. She knew some
thing was wrong the moment she closed the

turned to Jim. You'll find this girl a very
competent secretary, think. Try her out on
some technical stuff this afternoon and let me
know how she handles it. Don't start on your
actual report until tomorrow"
But -" began jim.
A sudden spark glowed in the Colonel's
eyes. Haven't made myself clear, Cap
tain?"
"Yes, sir!' He saluted and went out.
Damned brass hats, he thought.
He followed the redheaded WAC down the
corridor, ignoring the interested glances she
gave him. She opened door and switched on
some lights. This is it, Captain"
He went in and peered around gloomily. 1t
was an ordinary Office with desk and type
writer, filing cabinet, not much else. Might
as well get used to it, he told himself glumly;
it'll take week at least to do the job they
want He went to the window and stood look
ing out at the acres of desolation until he
heard knock at the door. Come in!' he said.
HE door opened, and girl came in Marched
in, really, Jim's subconscious mind noted.
His conscious mind was fully occupied by
the girl herself She was tall and blonde,
with wheat-colored braids pinned severely at
the back of her head. She had figure that
made Jim's throat feel dry and tight suddenly.
1t had been long time since he had seen
girl like that; he was not sure that he had ever
seen one with such flawless Nordic beauty,
He said, unbelieving, Miss Schultz"
"Fraulein Schultz" the girl corrected him.
She sat down stiff1y beside the desk. She
opened stenogaphic notebook. ''You have
some dictation?" Her English was perfect.
"Wait minute" Jim came over to the
desk. YOU'RE German?"
"Yesr' she said, and gave him look as
savage and superb as the stare of lioness.
Jim was thinking, THAT Colonel is out of
his mind! can't dictate this sort of stuff to
an alenr' He slid into the chair behind the
desk and fished out crumpled pack of ciga-
rettes Relax" he said lazily, and offered
her one. THE war is over. isn't it,"
She hesitated for moment, then took it.
She bent her head to the match he held out,
and he saw the pure line of her profile. Boy,
he thought, Der Fuehrer would have approved
of her, all right; she's what he liked to con-
slider the ideal Aryan type He added drily.
"Or do you just consider us lesser evil than
the Russians?"
She blew out stream of smoke 'One has
to eat"
Have you worked here long?"
More than year"
Can you handle technical language?"
Il can try"
IAN right" Jim leaned back, started to
put his feet on the desk, thought better of it.
Ready" he said. Let's co.,
AN HOUR later, when the door closed behind
Hilda Schultz, he sat for few minutes drum

twilight that eddied among the ruins. He
should, he knew, locate the billeting officer,

everything else go until morning But -.
He stood up abruptly and went back to the

door. She knew by the silence and also by
the sixth sense that all Berliners seemed to
have developed since the occupation.
She dropped her wet raincoat and went
quickly into the living room. Her father and
mother sat close together on sofa, looking
smaller somehow, shrunken. One of the men.
square, solid, with fiat Slavic face, sat with
folded arms near the door. The other was tall
and thin, with cleaning green eyes and
black Homburg hat. Both men wore dark
civilian clothes that seemed to fit them awk
wardly.
The tall man glided toward her, showing
yellow teeth in kind of smile. "Gaten abend,
gnIdige Frdulein"' His German had the famil-
lar accent of Russian who has learned it

''Hilda' 1t was her fathers hoarse voice.
They bring us word of Hans. He is still

many other Germans. They say he -"
Hilda's eyes had widened for a moment;
now they grew narrow again. what proof?"
Her mother held out her fist and opened it
slowly. On her palm lay signet ring = the

1T is quite true" the tall man said, still
smiling. ''Your brother is alive. He wishes
very much to come home. 1t is just possible
that it could be arranged, if"
''If?" said Hilda. Her voice sounded harsh
and tight
"If you will help us" He leaned against

you not? You are typing certain report for
him, one that concerns itself with some inter-

Hilda said, How do you know this?"
"Gnddige Frdulein," said the man., my
dear young lady, we know many things. Your
American employers are very stupid We
knew when your handsome captain was or
dered to Berlin. We knew why he was sum-
moned. We know what he was doing in
Bavaria, and what he is doing now" He
dropped his voice so that his next words came
out slowly, almost caressingly. I'VE would
like copy of his report, Fraulein. We would
like you to get it for u.s.
"And if refuse?"
The thin shoulders moved upward. II

Also, it is just possible that something I'm

HnDA took out pack of American ciga-

In the first place, think Hans is dead. Even
if he is not, doubt if any new torture can
result from an action of mine. am sure you

Cheese Box Vessel
or Civil War Fame
Found off Hotterus
BY the Associated Press

CHARLESTON, S. c., April 13.
The Yankee cheese box-one of
the worlds first ironclad warships
apparently has been located in
120 feet of water 20 miles south
east of Cape Hatteras, N. c.
Spokesman for the 9Th Naval
District here said, however. that
the Navy has no plans for raising
the wreckage of the Monitor. A
routine anti-submarine patrol
made the discovery in 1947, the
Navy disclosed.
The Monitor was the Federal
warship which fought the Merri-
mac of the Confederate Navy, also
an ironclad vessel. on March 8,
1862, off the Virginia coast. Con-
federates described the Monitor
as a Yankee cheese box on a
raft" because of its cylindrical
turret 9 feet high and 20 feet
across.
The Monitors commander was
wounded and the vessel withdrew
from the battle. The Confederates
scuttled the Merrimac, renamed
the Virginia, in the evacuation of
Norfolk, Va.
The Monitor sank in a gale
while being towed off the North
Carolina coast December 80 or 81,
1862.

Blasting
BY the As.o lied Press

MARTINSBURG, w. Va, April
13.-Laud Byers, who had played
with dynamite for 80 years, died
in a hospital here Wednesday, two
weeks after he had suffered a
heart attack.
At so he had been sure he was
on the threshold of a great for
tune with a new idea in explosives.
He had devised what he called
a shaped charge. 1t could direct
and control the force of a blast.
One of it's chief purposes was to
eliminate the slow. tough, costly
job of drilling out a hole for an
explosive charge.
After years of Illustration, Mr..
|Byers finally got Government and
industry experts interested in his
idea. About a year ago he set
up the Shaped Charges Explosives
Manufacturers, Inc, and built a
plant just outside Martinsburg. 1t
had been in production and max
ing sales for about six weeks.
Mr.. Byers was credited with a
major part in devising new type
Iof incendiary bomb which the
Doolittle raiders dropped on Tokyo
in 1912. He worked for the Ma
tional Fireworks Co. then and was
on loan to the Arny's Chemical
Warfare Service.
Supryivors inclure his widow
