In Chicago yesterday, he said
the required stock was coming in
slowly and added he is hopeful
the deal will work out eventually" !"
The fuzzy-haired idea man, who
hopes to set the turnstiles spinning
with the Browns as he did with
the Milwaukee Brewers and later
the Indians, has refused to dis
cuss his plans for the club until
he and his associates gain con-
troll.
Nor would he say whether the
deadline might be extended if he
fails to get his three-fourths
stock control by tonight.
He has conceded the Dewitt
brothers received more than the
81 share offered for the minority
stock, figure he insists will not
be raised.
The guesses here are the De-
Wits received about SO a share
for their stock. On this basis, there
has been published speculation the
brothers stand to clear between
100000 and $500,000 between
them if the deal goes through.
Under Missouri law, ownership
of three-fourths of the Browns
stock will enable Veeck to liuui-
date the old corporation and re-
place it with one in which he will
have 100 per cent control.

But Miss Curtis knew she was

Nov Raymond was frightened
He knew she had letters of his, ir
his own handwriting, that could
ruin him. He put it up to his ole
Ipartner-in-crime Gale, to get rio
Iof her. Gale did, in the most
brutal way possible.
Gales men had traced her
here several times, and to the
office. On one visit she told me
that the letters were in locker
at the YWCA..
Knowing my connection with
her, Gale put in the dictaphones
you found and sent his masked
men around to try and learn
where the letters were when they
couldn't find what the key fit.
I'm the meantime, Raymond
learned of Gales romance with
his daughter and they had a ter
rible row. He ordered Gale not
to see her and tried to promote
her romance with Carl, as you
know.
Then Gale really went after
the letters. He knew they were
evidence against Raymond and
he could threaten him with
them"
Wouldn't exposure of the let
ters point to Gales guilt. too?"
Eyes. but he wanted them in
his possession so Raymond
couldn't stop his marriage to Lu-
cille. I learned all this, and more,
in New York. Insurance investi-
gators I know were working for
Raymond here"
Il suppose that Gale is still
looking for the letters" Sherry
said. That's probably why he
took me to Carl. He thought he
might as well be nice to me, just
in case I could help him find
them"

might have happened if Gales
men had caught you and Carl last
night. I'm afraid he wouldn't t
have been so nice. What a fool I
was to go away" Donaldson added
frowning.
What will you do now?" Sherry
asked.
Tell the police about the let
ters, of course. What I should have
done at the start. I was scared,
when I read about Miss Curtis
death. I thought if I disappeared,
we'd both be out of a bad mess.
AS it was, I just got you in

was right"

sion was held in the American

There is rapidly developing a

may mean that $40 million or
more or less in additional revenue

declared.

"It is difficult to see how that
much additional revenue can be
raised in this community without
serious injury to its economy. Ac-
cordingly, we and other local
agencies must devote all our re-
sources to the task of prevailing
upon the Congress to grant a

In line with a study of the

also called for stepped-up research
on unemployment compensation
proposals. Amendments to the

will be suggested in the not too

Mr.. Groom said the need has
increased strongly during the last
