Williams Asks More
Funds for Senators
From Large States
BY the Assoeioisd Press

Action to increase the Office
expense allowance Of Senators
from large States was urged to-
day by a Senator from a small
one, Senator Williams. Republi-
can, of Delaware. =
Senator Williams told a re-
porter the need for such an in
crease was emphasized during
the recent presidential campaign
by the publicity over the private
ly-raised expense funds for Vice
President-elect Richard M.
Nixon.
I'VE don't want any repetition
of that expense fund.-" Senator
Williams said. adding that he
would be willing to take the lead
In drive to increase the official
allowances for Senators from
heavily populated States.
Opposes Tax Cut for President.
Senator Williams expressed
opposition, however, to President
Truman's proposal to grant in
come tax deductions for living
expenses to the President. Vice
President and Speaker of the
House.
He and two other members
of the Senate Finance Commit
tee. Senators George, Democrat,
of Georgia and Byrd. Democrat,
of Virginia, said yesterday they
felt these officials should pay in
come taxes like everybody else.
Mr.. Truman said his plan
would save President-elect Eisen-
hover $4,000 a year in taxes,
Mr.. Nixon more than $1,000 and
House Speaker Martin about
$500. The President now gets
100000 salary and a $4,000
tax-free expense allowance. The
Vice President and speaker each
receives $4,000 salary and q
$4,000 tax-free expense allow
ance.
Spearheaded Drive.
In the last Congress, Senator
Williams spearheaded a drive
which knocked out the tax ex-
emption on those allowances, ef-
fective this month. He also won
repeal of tax exemption privil-
ege on $4,000 annual expense
allowances received by each
member Of Congress. This took
effect last Saturday, when Con-
gress convened.
Contributors to Mr.. Nixon's
$4,000 fund said they raised it
because his official expense
money as a California Senator
was insufficient to permit him
to represent properly the second
largest State in the Union.
II don't use all Of the allow
ance that I get because Delaware
Is so SMALL" Senator Williams
said. "But I can see that a Sen
ator from a State like California
or New York would need more
than he gets"
California has 80 times the
population Of Delaware but it's
senatorial Office expense money
is only about one-fourth greater.

tion. l am a Nazi. as l always have
been. / wish to find those docu-
ments in order to destroy them.
Very soon now the Nazi party will
rise again. We do not wish to have
documents around which might be
misinterpreted."
ANNE-MARIE nodded. seeing the
simplicity of the pattern of deceit
which Schmidt had woven with
Peters assistance. There remained
only one thing to say, so she said
it, her voice husky with hatred,
What are you going to do with
me?"
The German did not answer.
Instead he stopped to retrieve his
hypodermic syringe from the floor
of the aircraft beside Peters pile
of blankets. Anne-Marie watched
him. and presently he smiled, ges-
turing with the syringe. How
much better a weapon than a pis-
tol." he said slowly. mot only did
it save my life this evening, but it
earned me the knowledge of the
hiding place of the documents. I
am afraid that was another small
lie l told you. l did not have to pay
the gentleman in the R.A.F. for
his information" He put the syr-
inge in his brief case.
Anne-Marie repeated, What
are you going to do with me?"
Nothing that has not already
been planned, my DEAR" Schmidt
answered. I'VE shall jump together
- hand-in-hand. in case you
should be tempted to run away -
and then you shall take me to the
Italian-Swiss border" He struck
the quick-release mechanism of his
parachute harness. did you hear
Macready explain what was wrong
with this contraption?"
Yes"
Can it be repaired?"
Anne-Marie shrugged. Il don't
know"
Schmidt's blue eyes cleaned.
For your sake l hope so," he
said. Since you will be jumping
with it."
"Supposing l refuse to jump"
Then shall have to shoot you,
Mrs. Parker. Kindly take off your
parachute"
Slowly, Anne-Marie did so.

dropped to hang Imply at her sides.
Il regret l had to do that"
Schmidt said quietly. But he was
smiling, and the pleasure in his
eyes put the lie to his words.
Anne-Marie licked her lips.
How did you do it,"
by acquiring complete hyp-
motto domination with the use of a
drug called scopola1nine," he ex-
planned calmly. 1T was an inter-
esting experiment. l was not at all
sure that it would succeed"
Words of loathing and revile-
ment hovered on Anne-Marie's
tongue, but she suppressed them.
All the habits of thought of seven
years of peace had been swept
away from her. It was as if she
were facing again one of the eIner-
gencies she had faced almost daily
as the courier for an espionage Cir
cult in Paris in 1913. She looked
coldly at Schmidt for a while then
said, peter called you Meissner.
Are you the Colonel Meissner who
was the co-ordinating officer in
charge of relating the activities of
military intelligence and the Ges-
tapo in occupied France?"
SCHMIDT waited for a moment,
shrugged and said, 'Yes."
I'VE were very afraid of you"
The girls voice was distant,
Unconditional. Torture we could
understand, and hope to endure,
but the rumor went round that
you used hypnotism in interoga-
ton. We didn't know whether we
should be able to resist it. Could
we have?"
Perhaps. Some can and some
cannot"
She stared at him. What hold
did you have over Peter Mac
ready?"
HE was a double agent"
Schmidt answered. Working for
US and you at the same time"
The girl held her breath, remem-
bering how she had boasted to this
man of the mutual trust between
Peter Macready and herself. The
memory brought another to mind.
That story you told me - about
the hidden documents" she said.
WAS it all a lie?"
The German smiled and shook
his head. II never lie unless it is
necessary. l told you the whole
Evening star., 1953-06-14

"Macready!Now youlistentome. ="
Yes, Colonel Meissner?"
You will call me Schmidt!
Stand up!"
Peter Macready rose to his feet,
his hands hanging Imply at his
sides. There is a parachute with
its harness lying at your feet.
Schmidt said in slow. clear voice.
Pick it up" Peter stopped, his
hands cropping uncertainty. by
your right hand - see?" Schmidt
prompted. Can you feel it,"
Yes" Peters hand closed as if
it were gripping something. but it
was not.
Put it on"
ANNE-MARIE had closed her eyes.
Now she opened them again to see
Peter Macready perform a pains
takingly accurate and pitiful pam
tomime, as he levered himself into
webbing harness which did not
exist. His face was quite express
sionless, and it was apparent that
his mind, drugged and dominated
by Schmidt's hypnotic control,
completely accepted the existence
of a parachute harness.
He made the movements of a
parachutist satisfying himself that
all was secure, hitching at imagi-
nary shoulder straps to feel the
tension.
For Anne Marie, Peters actions
illuminated Schmidt's intention
with terrifying clarity. Until that
moment she had been undecided.
not knowing, since Peters confes-
sion of an intent to murder, where
her loyalties lay. Not any longer.
She cried, Peter" in a husky
voice full of terror. He did not
seem to hear her, but Schmidt did.
The pistol in the Germans hand
moved to cover nne-Marie. His
eyes. beady with menace, told her
he would shoot if she moved again.
WITHOUT taking his eyes off
Anne Marie, Schmidt shouted at
Peter Macready. Go to the door,"
Peter shuffled toward the gaping
hole in the planes side. Nov hook
up your static lne!" Peter groped
for something on level with his
knees, seemed to find it and went
through the motions of attaching
an imaginary hook to a ring-bolt
set beside the door.
"Are you quite ready to Jump"
Schmidt demanded.
For the first time there was a
vestigial hesitation in Peters re-
ply. "Ye-es. :. l don't want to.
Must II"
you must" Schmidt turned to
face the man at the planes door
and shouted at the top of his voice.
Jump, Macready! Jump nOw!"
The words were irresistibly COM
pulsive. Anne-Marie leaped to her
feet, screaming, Attention, Pier
