First hint as to the administration's attitude toward possible general embargoes against Italy came in a. conversation between Sumner Welles, assistant secretary i of state, and Manuel Trucco. ambassador from Chile. The latter said that most of Chile's copper production comes to the United States for smeltering before reshipment into world commerce. Therefore, he said I his government was vitally inter- ' ested in any possible copper em-br.’-e-o by this country. Welles assured him verbally that such an embargo would be impossible without further legislation by congress.

p'HIGH SCHOOL TRAGEDY" j MAXI N E CAN TY —

SYNOPSIS Julie Martin, she's all of 17, is relating what happened after her French teacher, pretty Constance (Connie) Sinclair, was found shot dead at a desk In her (Miss Sinclair's) apartment. Julie has startled her mother and interests her father, a lawyer, by telling that she and her boy friend, Dicky Ward, had visited the apartment the previous afternoon, a few hours before the murder. She had returned a fountgin pen which she had borrowed from Miss Sinclair. News- 1 paper reports make known that the teacher wag slain about 10 o’clock that night. The police went to the apartment upon receipt of a mysterious telephone call informing them that Miss Sinclaii had been slain. Julie's young brother Allen, also a high school pupil, leaves the breakfast table soon after the family starts discussing the tragic news. At the school later. Police Inspector O'Brien questions Julie concerning the return of the pen, basing his inquiry on notes made during an earlier examination of Mrs. Sarduni who conducted the apartment house tenanted by the slain teacher. Julie tells the Inspector that she talked with Miss Sinclair about a book. Principal Perkins remarks that he found the book on the teacher's school desk that morning and gets permission to return it to the rental store. Melvin Wright, “the schr»*>’s problem boy” and the last known caller on Miss Sinclair, is grilled in secret the evening papers feature the victim’s last letter, addressed to a “Dear George.” who evidently was married then come extras with the news that Hym, Filipino janitor of the apartment house, had vanished the night of the murder! Julie is describing what she noticed at the school the next day: CHAPTER IV A bunch of the girls nt the high school always lunched at the confectionery store across the street. The five of us were sitting around n table, over sandwiches and milk shakes. All we could think to talk about was the murder. "What I don't see is,” said one, “why the police cannot trace that phone call. You know there aren’t many getting off a boat at that hour of night.” “That is easy enough, when you think about it,” answered another. “Thursday is the night the concerts arc given in the Bowl. You know Galll-Curei sang. We went. She sure was grand.” "You mean there were a lot of people from the concert on the boat?” 6 “Sure! The concerts are great and the admission’s only a dollar, you know. There were lots of people on that boat. Probably a number of them made phono calls. In all the rush and crowd, it would be hard even to see anyone making a call, much less to remember what he looked like.” “Who do you suppose did it?” “That’s what the police would like tn know,” I said. "Well." said Helen. "I think it was that George's wife. She was fighting with Connie” (we all called our teachers by their first names) “the week before and she was jealous. Connie, by her own letter, didn't do much to calm her down. J bet after George canie running over again Sunday, Mrs. George just came over Thursday with a gun in her muff, and—pfoff!” "Well, my mother says if Connie was running around with a man she knew was married, she got what was coming to her.” I protested, “I think you girls are cold-blooded to sit here and talk about Connie Sinclair like that. She was young and pretty and cute. You were crazy enough about her last week. Now she’s dead—killed. I :an't believe it.” After that the girls began talking about the clothes she used to wear, and the jolly things she used :o say, and they speculated on her tov’S affairs. In the midst of all his. Patsy Riley came running In, breathless and wild-eyed. “Girls,” she cried, “have you heard the news?” “No. what?” we all asked at once. "Melvin Wright is in on the tase!” “No!”

Madison who, it was argued, held • that the right of congress to im- . pose taxes and spend money for , the genera! welfare must be re- . stticied to the enumerated now- . ers given the federal government ■ in other parts of the constitution. ; “if congress can constitutionally authorize the present scheme." the cotton group asserted, "it follows that II has practically unI limited power to intermeddle wltu ' and control matters which the 1 constitution intended should be exclusively controlled by the states."

1 said nothing. 1 felt, somehow that I couldn't tell things I picked up when I was working in the office. I knew, too. that Inspector O’Brien and Mr Perkins didn't expect me to hear their conversation. I thought probably Patsy was going to tell what happened yesterday. “Yes!" she continued, “he was the one who visited Connie's apartment at 8:00 o’clock that night. He savs he went there to get her to sign his parole thing, as she had refused that day at school because he had I n out three times that 'week with that awful girl. She refused again, and he knew that meant i trouble. So he argued with her for half an hour. But she stuck to it.

He says then that he told her what ' ho thought of her, of her pretended friendship for him and all. Then he banged her door and slammed down the stairs, as Mrs. Sardoni , said.” > “But you don't suppose--” I "That’s not all,” squealed Patsy [ triumphantly. “The detective on: > the case searched his pockets last' [ night and they found something., t They’re holding him in custody. now 1” Believe me, I sat up then, too. > “What did they find?” we almost' shouted. t Patsy drew herself up impor-1 3 tantly." There was a dead silence. -. ] Then she exploded, “A gun’ - ’ i “A gun!” we echoed. “Yes. The same size as the bul-! , let sfie was killed with. I mean i . the gun was the same size as the, t one that fired the bullet. They have i s sent it and the bullet to San Frani eisco to be analyzed or whatever, they do with it.” e “Where does he say he got it, and ; ’ why?" I asked. t “He won't say.” And that was that. About two- ( ; thirds of the school decided Melvin p was guilty. All his past history was dragged up, and all the trouble ? with Miss Sinclair, until I almost J believed it myself. The papers were so full of this . break that night that little was said 0 about Hym and his disappearance, j The next morning there was still r another development. Mr. Sinclair II had arrived, and he had immedi- ! ately inquired if Bruce Lloyd we.e ' in town. That was a new name u which sent the papers, or their >eporters, scurrying al! over to find lout about him. e The police, too, were investigating. Mr. Sinclair said immediately that Bruce Lloyd sa. the man Gon

The father expressed himself as surprised, shocked, that he had not come immediately to St Joseph when he read of Connie I i death. / . .. It didn’t take long to find him in the city. He came that evening > to meet Mr. Sinclair and the police I He expressed shock and grief and - explained he had been out of town for a day or so. The papers ran big cuts of him. showing a tall, II handsome, blond young man, with ■ clear blue eyes and a fine mouth . 'No one, not even Mrs. Sardoni, re-

membered seeing him before. And as Helen said, In- was not the sort of man you would be likely to forget. It did seem awfully strange that Connie had never talked to anyone I about him. He was the ideal flanee that any girl would be proud to show off. The teachers across the |hall said she often went to the city .for dinner, returning on the very late boat and also that she spent I many Saturdays there. They supI posed she had gone there to meet •him, which : upposition proved to be Itho case. But that was early in the I fall, during the first weeks of school lin August and September. For the 11s t month, these trips had been fnI froouent. I The most startling statement the papers made was that the poßce and Mr Lloyd both admitted he had | efused to answer two obestions. “Did you and Miss Sinclair have | n misunderstanding?” he had been I asked. “We met last suhjmer while I was lon my vacation and she on hers, iWe became engaged. I think that I by October both of us felt it had I been a mistake. We did not quarrel, however, but we saw each other less frequently.” “And did your feeling that it was a mistake arise from any knowledge you had of a man named George?” Mr. Lloyd hesitated, then he said, “I decline to say.” But in spite of the great kick the gossips got out of that, his next ' refusal wa even more sensational. “Now, Mr. Lloyd, where were you on the night of October 20?” “I was out of town.” I “So we understand. Where?” "I cannot say; I’m sorry, but I just can't say,” (To Be Continued) Cct--. i ? h» i" ,' Kinff F«etiir»a AHMUraU. tM.
