IM »oplf. President Roosevelt wants' a big fleet of whopping battleship* and anthlng that casts doubt on I their usefulness is not for the pule i I lie to know.’’ Maverick said air milts demonInflated in Pacific maneuvers their < ability to locate mi approaching i I fleet and that it had been demon- | i-nated that direct bits ure not necessary to sink a man-of-war. A 2,000 pound bomb dropped along- < I side, he explained, would disable t j a big cruiser by force of concusI sion. After vessels of the fleet i were located in Pacific maneuvers, Maverick said the airmen "plant- t lered them with sandbag bombs." "The same amount of money 1 sought for big battleships, invested in pursuit planes and bombers," Maverick continued, "would make the United States invulnerable. If that is not true let it be proved untrue. Why keep the public in the dark. Or, if we are to be saddled with a huge navy or supersuper ships, let it not be at the expense of neglecting our aerial I defenses. 1 “The navy is now demanding that the army airplanes stick to ' shore. The two services are in a jurisdictional dispute as silly as the fight between the CH) and the IAFL. The answer to that bus- 1 iness is to coordinate the military and naval air units under a single head, but that is not the imined- 1 iate issue. The first question is, ' why in the interests of a huge navy are pertinent facts censored ' and suppreesed? Airplanes can | sink battleships and the bigger the battleship the bigger the mark. Japan. England and Italy know it. ‘ Why are the American people aot allowed to know it?” War and navy department officers to whom the foregoing ques- ( tions were put, refused to permit | their names to be used but replied I in effect, as follows: 1. There is no material conflict between the army and navy but ’ i rather closer cooperation than has l existed for some years. i 2. No one here or abroad can I say whether modern vessels under ; i war time conditions would be vul-,: nerable to modern air attack. The ;1 only warship ever suuk by air- ;

hadn’t wanted to be alone with her!! in either his apartment or Gina's. < Yet they were more alone up here i on the top of this bus, in the white s beauty of this snowstorm, than they 1 would ever have been inside the four 1 walls of any room. For some time now, Caroline had 1 stopped thinking. She knew that ' presently she would begin to think ' again and she would be humiliated 1 and ashamed, very likely, to think 1 she had let him see how easily he ! could twist her about to please himself. If she had any pride she 1 wouldn’t be here—but she didn’t have any pride. Not where he was concerned. She hadn’t had since that first day. . . . She had let him see then how much she cared, and what had happened? He had walked off and left her. Well, he would walk off again. She knew that now. He had made it plain enough, but for the moment it didn't matter. For the moment nothing mattered very much except that his arm was about her shoulders, that his fingers, warm and hard and vibrant, were crushed about her bare wrist where he had pushed down her soft suede glove. It was good to be close to him like this, it eased for a little while that dull ache in her heart. She could even, by shutting her mind hard on tomorrow and all the days after tomorrow, feel warm and gay and happy. . For some time now, because he | did not dare be long silent, Tommy had been talking. He had told her about his life in South America and how much he disliked his present job and how anxious he was to get out of New York and back to mining again. As their bus rumbled out of the brightness of Madison Square, he said, “I'm twenty-four and I can’t afford to be wasting time like this. Every year counts, and I ought to be getting somewhere in my profession and not just marking time in a New York office. I was a fool, of course, to leave the job in South America. I was in line for some decent promotions. Now I’ll have to begin al! over again with a new outfit, but I’m only asking for the chance.” Caroline frowned a little. “Then the way you have your life planned, you will never be able to live for very long in New York?” “That’s right. I may get back here every three years or so for a couple of months, but that’s ail. All these jobs are let out on three-year contracts, and most of them are at the ends of the earth. There's a possibility right now that a company may open up a gold mine up near Timmins in a month or so. If they do, I’m hoping to go along.” Caroline, who did not know w’here Timmins was but thought it sounded much too remote, moved closer to him. “You sound very eager about it. I don't think I had realized before how much your profession meant to you. But then I know very little about you, really. Except that I like to be with you.” “I like to be with you, too . . . but I guess you know that.” “No,” said Caroline. “I don't.” Then she added, “And that can’t be true because you almost never are.” “I thought,” said Tommy, making his voice perfectly impersonal, “that we went over that once before—” “We did,” agreed Caroline swiftly, “and I'm not going to embarrass | i you by bringing it up again.” Then i

planes was the I’atiay, wrecked In December by Japanese bombs In the Yangtse river, but that was not considered to be a fair test. 3. There have been no tests with sandbag bombs against manned vessels although the old abttleship Utah, especially fitted for experiments, has been the target of water bombs 4. The navy and war department officials asked why Italy, Japan, and England would be proceeding with battleship construction if they had knowledge, as suggested, that airplanes were superior weapons.

Gregson's truck was so badly demolished the company name on the side of the truck was erased. The crossing is protected by flasher signals. Witnesses told police Gregson apparently had ap- i tilled the brakes at the last moment. but the machine skidded and stalled. The train had nearly completed its run—it was due in Chicago at 1:15 p. m.—when the accident occurred. According to engineer J. A. Filbert, Decatur. 111., the train was 20 minutes late and was traveling about 70 miles per hour when the acident occurred. Neither he nor his fireman, C. 13. Daniels, also of ■ Decatur, were injured.

she said, and now her voice was quite as detached and unemotional as his, “How is this girl you svend so much of your time with going to like the sort of life you will be able to offer her?” “If you mean Roxanne, and I sup- ( pose you do, I am not going to offer her any sort of life. I thought you understood that. I thought you understood that marriage was defi- ■ nitely out for me ... at least, for years. . . .” “No, I don’t think I did understand that,” said Caroline slowly. “Well,” said Tommy, “you do now.” “You mean that girls simply don’t figure seriously in your life?” Tommy laughed briefly. “Something like that. For the time being, at least, it’s a case of love them and leave them as far as I am concerned.” There was a little silence, during which the snow continued to fall lightly, rimming the edge of the vacant seat in front of them, rimming the brim of Tommy's hat where it was pulled low over his eyes. It was Tommy who spoke first. “I suppose that makes you dislike me quite a lot, doesn’t it?” “I don’t know ... I suppose it should, but it doesn’t seem to.” Tommy knew that if he looked at her, she would be frowning intent- I ly; he knew she was trying to figure things out and that she wasn’t getting much of anywhere. He said, “Well, it shouldn’t worry you one way or the other . . . you're [ all set with Alec. He’s mad about > you and he’s a swell guy and worth two of me any day in the week.” "Meaning, I suppose,” said Caroline levclly, “that Alec would never love me and leave me, and that you would.” “Yes,” said Tommy, “meaning just that. . . .” Then she lifted her face to him. and quite without warning his arms went around her and he pressed his mouth hard against hers. They kissed with the snow beating whitely against their shoulders, with their arms pressed hard about each other. It was Caroline who finally took her lips away. It was Caroline who looked at him, her eyes darkly ashamed and tormented. She said, “I’m sorry. Tommy, but if we aren’t going to do anything about each other, I think we’d better not kiss like that again.” Tommy stared at her wretchedly, his mouth still shaken from the sweetness of her kiss. He wanted to say, "But we are going to do something about each other ... we have to, don’t you see?” But there was Alec, and he couldn’t. So he said instead, “You’re right about that, probably. But it’s one of the things you don’t stop to figure out. Besides, there is something about a girl and a snowstorm ... forgive it, will you?” “There is nothing to forgive. It was as much my fault as yours.” She turned her face toward him and there was a look in her eyes and about her mouth that he had never seen before on any woman’s face ... it seemed to give him everything and then take it away again. She smiled at him, and his heart broke in two. He had never known a smile like that before ... at once so burningly sweet and yet so lost and desolate. (To be continued) I CowrUM. t»ar.

McNutt said he had favored going to Denver on a train rather than by plane. McNutt said the ninth corps commander visited his hotel suite and said that airplane transportation would be available. "I had never met Colonel Johnson until 1 climbed into the plane," McNutt said, contending "1 never ordered anyone around." McNutt said that advancement of tile date on which the Philippines should be given their independence is "pretty well out of the question” at this time because "of the general situation and of the economic situation in the Philippines." McNutt refused to answer a question as to whether the Philippines feel that Japan is a menace, r contending “they will have to
