truth last night. I am Tania

it was for me to pose as Nina and

you'll have to believe me!
There must be some way of

hers. Finally he said to the police
man, Get Bill Reynolds over
here. Tell him we're questioning
Nina Hardwicke and she has asked
for him."
With a slight smile he turned

he'll believe me. I know he will.
He knew Nina" Inwardly she
thought. ooh. I wish hadn't
listened to Mickey. I wish T
hadn't tried so hard to do a good
job of initiating Nina!" For she
admitted to herself that Bill might
not believe her, that he might be
as skeptical as 1t. Wilson.

asked.

curt.
He did not speak to her again,

ask her if she wanted coffee. She

waited. The minutes seemed tt
spin into hours, then into days
and years. Tania's hands were
cold and clammy with nervous

support her.
Never, in her most fantastic
daydreams. had she imagined her
self being in Jail =.
At last the door opened and
Bill Reynolds stood there. His
eyes were stern and scornful, his
mouth was grim line. II can't
see why you had to drag me into
this, Nina" he greeted her angrily.
II told you I wanted nothing to
do with you"
Slowly. Tania rose from the
chair and walked across the room
to him. She pushed her hair back
from her face and stared up at
him with pleading brown eyes.

she said earnestly. please listen

she told Bill exactly what had
happened to her since the morn

She finished by saying: "My

blunt dark face. Now he said un-
certainly, Maybe she is telling
the truth, Lieutenant. 1t would
be difficult to dream up a story as
strange as hers"
His dark blue eyes searched her
face. "All along I felt there was
something queer about Nina-1

be Nina. She looked like her, the
voice was like hers, and the
clothes. but the girl herself was
completely different.

crooked game of hers, another
trick to get something from me
that she wanted"
ANY suggestions, Mr.. Reyn-
olds?" Wilson asked, his tone
respectful.
Bill nodded. "why don't you
call in several people who played
in Happy Days with her? They
ought to be able to identify her"
That reminds me-" Tania broke
in swiftly. THE night that Jer-
envy Knight was-shot-I was
standing in a doorway across
the street. watching to see who

I saw three people. George Mar

Wilson was interested now.
He fired questions. What time
did they arrive? Were they to-

Did they leave together? Were

Letters to The Star

whose heads are now directing the de-
fense effort, which lie behind some Of
labor's concern.
You mention Mr.. Wilson's personal
financial sacrifice in coming to WASH
ington. It should be made known to
your readers that in leaving GE, Mr..
Wilson takes with him life pension
amounting to $66,000 a year. He will
also get his Government salary of
S22,500 year. In addition, he will
receive $25.000 year in dividends from
his GE holdings. He will have a capi-
tai gain of more than 100000 as a
result of 81 per cent increase in the
value of his GE stock in the last year.
The actual truth, therefore, is that
Mr.. Wilson will certainly not have to
engage in any personal austerity In
his Government post.
"Mr Wilson's optimism" as your edi-
torial calls it, really arises from the fact
that his company and others of big
business are so thoroughly in the saddle
that unless the American people are
aroused they will continue to make a
mockery of the meaning of equality
of sacrifice. James B. Carey,
President, q International Union of
Electrical. Radio and Machine
Workers, CIO.

'Mr. Wilson's Optimism

Your. editorial of March 20. "Mr. VIII
sons Optimism" requires an answer.
You declare that Mr.. Wilson gave up
a $275 900 a year job with the General
Electric Co. to take this Government
assignment, and that his key aides have
given up better paying jobs in private
life to come into the mobilization pro-
gram.
First. let me call your attention to
the press release announcing the ap-
pointment of Messrs. Clay and Weinberg
on December 21 It clearly stated that
these gentlemen we're merely "on leave"
from their private posts, and were serv.
ing without compensation. The ap-
pointment Of Fred Searls gave no indica-
ton that he had relinquished his private
post think you will find on examina-
ton that all three gentlemen are still
drawing their private pay. and are
merely on loan to the Government. That
means they expect to return to their
private jobs.
But coming to the meat Of the problem
your statement that labor is merely
"sniping" at big business in the mobili-
Zation effort-let me call your attention
to few facts dealing with Mr.. Wilson
and the question of mobilization and
austerity.
General Electric, which Mr.. Wilson
headed for all but few days Of 1850.
has Just published Its stockholders
statement for the year. 1t is very
revealing statement. In the year 1949.
GE made after all taxes a staggering
22k per cent for its stockholders on
their investment. If only that same
tremendously high rate of profit had
been made in 1850. the company could
have saved its customers-the public
that buy refrigerators, radios and house.
hold appliances, and the United States
Government-over $120 million, equal
to a reduction of 6 per cent In the
company's prices.
If the company had been satisfied
with a very lucrative return of II per
cent to it's stockholders, it could have
saved its customers $155 million or re-
duced prices by nearly 8 per cent. Or.
to put 1t third way, General Electric's
total expenses increased from 1949 to
1850 by $190 million. Instead of in
creasing its prices to cover these in
creased costs, GE increased them by
$347 million, or $158 million more than
was necessary. This extra $158 million
again was equal to about per cent
of the company's sales. which could have
been returned to the consumer. includ-
ing the Government.
Now, the result of these GE policies
under the leadership of Mr.. Wilson
was a net profit in 1850, after all taxes.
giving the stockholders return Of %
per cent on their investment. And in
the fourth quarter of 1850. when Mr..
Wilson was bargaining with President
Truman for his extraordinary powers
and preparing to come to Washington
to teach the American people the mean
ing of sacrifice and austerity, GE's
profit rate, after even the new excess
profits tax, was a staggering 80 per
cent on the stockholders investment!
I think these astonishing facts are
we'll worth your attention and that of
your readers. It is these and similar
facts applying to other corporations,

do you believe the people Of Lapland
ever catch colds?"
Old Lady Brown-which, let us say,
was not her name at all-rose to the
bait as expected.
"Of course" she insisted, "the people
of Lapland have colds
Looking at the offender, she would
ask, "Why shouldn't the people of Lap
land have colds?"
To this. of course, there could be no
reply. and then the teacher went ahead,
to recount in detail how she once cured
very severe cold by drinking a cup of
hot water every half hour.
The class had heard that one at least
20 times, over the year, but they were
always glad to hear it again, since it
usually took up the remainder of the
time.
Only once did the Old Lady ever lose
her temper. It was when she caught
one of the students on "B side" in a
real lie
Growing red in the face, stamping her
foot to emphasize her meaning, she
roared, 'The lie! The lie!"
For days thereafter, as scholars hit
the sidewalks when school was out. there
was great stamping Of feet, shaking
Of fists, and screaming, 1.-THE lie! The
.lie!"
Older passersby must have wondered
over this, but they never knew. It was

This and That .

Templeton Jones sometimes wonders If
grade schools still have such characters
for principals.
Old Lady Brown was at the head Of
his school.
Every one called her that. in just that
way, without the slightest disrespect 1t
was her name and title.
She seemed to be part OF the school
building, solid and capable.
If any one had asked if she owned the
building, no doubt all her scholars would
have answered in the affirmative.
She was solid in all respects, wearing
seemly black, with her hair piled up on
her head, and on the graying side.
Mostly her manners and speech were
seemly, but at times she could roar as If
she were Gagged tigress, which perhaps
she was. -
She taught what there was to be
taught, and much else besides.
The latter subjects ranged from her
trip to Europe through how to cure a
cold with the use of hot water.
Ranged in front of her, the boys and
girls made her believe they hugely en-
ioyed these impromptu discussions, as
they did, but for a different reason, a
reason probably unknown to her. Or
was it?
The old lady was years ahead Of
psychology, but she might have known
something about 1t. after all. She was
pretty smart. '>

Strange Way to Protect Oysters

Maryland's oystermen have right to be
indignant over the disclosure that State officers
charged with protecting Tidewater oyster beds
from Illegal dredging have been doing some
dredging themselves. And it must be rather en-
barrassing for members of the General Assembly
to learn that oysters served them through the
courtesy of State fisheries enforcement officials
came from beds which the officials were paid to-
protect.
The oystermen hold to the understandable
view that if it is illegal for men in the industry
to dredge oysters, it is just as illegal for State
authorities to dredge them. The fact that the
dredging was done to satisfy the appetites of
legislators fails to impress the watermen Dredged
oyster beds are just as damaged by official
poaching as by the unofficial kind.
