"a alight ease of murder?” What was Craven watching for? I turned on my light before it was completely dart-1 didn’t even writ* another word in the diarybat I did Jock my door carefully. Within the first dee minute* after I reported for work in Walter Gregg’s study, I knew that I was working for a strong, unhappy man i —and 1 liked him. ] By the end of the first hour I had 1 a fair Idea of the way he wanted things done—and 1 knew he was afraid of something. ’ My diary says: ’’October 2. Mr. Gregg sits in a wheel chair with his I left leg stretched straight in front, J his left shoulder lifted in a plaster I cast He’s about W. His face is weathered from work in the wind 1 and sun—but bleached now from being in the hospital so long. Has f gruff and brusque, seems to have a * lot of pain and be dreadfully wot- « tied over aomething. He seems fearful—but not cross to the people who work for him.

Says Standard Oil Loyalties Divided Company Official Disputes Senator Washington, Apr t — fl'P) — Sen. Joseph O'Mahoney. I), Wyoming. Imlay told off Hals of the Standard Oil Co of New Jarsry that their "loyalties" are divided la-tween their agreemiit* with foreign companies and the world polity of the Untied States. F A. Howard, vice-president of the company, disputed what he termed the senator'* "conclusion." O'Mahoney said he wa* sure that the company'* loyalty to the U. 8 would prevail. O'Mahoney made the statement at the conclusion of a discussion before the senate committee investigating the war program of Standard'* use of patent right* obtained from th* Herman chemical trust in the development of synthetic mblter In this country. Howatd testified that In 1939. with Germany already at war. Standard preferred to trade It* exclusive tights In certain countries for the German exclusive rights in other countries, rather than purchase the German patents outright. "Your difficulty,'' said O'Ma honey, "is that you are bound by two loyalties; one a loyalty to the German company and It* world cartel, and the second to the I'nited State* and It* world poi-

Into a mile of highway. Now I Hra them to spell for me." I learned that Mr*. Gregg and Sydney spent much of their time in an apartment on Russian HiU in Sas Francisco; liat Craven was managing the busftt■** and Martha Gregg managed the household; that Lance had been railed from bl* last year in engineering at the University of California to help Ma unde after the aeddent. All that October day I filed and sorted paper*, took dictation and typed, while outside the open windows Castaway tasked, warm and brown and fragrant in the autumn ’ sunshine, and the distant surf I pounded on the rocks. When Kobe, Mr. Gregg’s personal servant, canto to wheel the chair i out of the study at noon, my em-

ploy er looked at me with a steady, penetrating gaze: “At the agency they told me you were a young woman who could bo trusted.” . I looked just as squarely back at him- “I am, Mr. Gregg." “All these records and letters from the Gregg Construction Company’*—he nodded toward the metal filing cabinet with its stout bar and padlock — “are strictly confidential.” “You can trust me," I said. “I’m gambling on that But I want to make it plain how important these papers are. Be sure to lock this cabinet when you leave the study at night or noon. Let Kobe bring me the key. Understand?" “I’ll bo very careful, Mr. Gregg," I assured him. “Please finish up that Durfee file first and get it locked up, out of the way. I’m depending on you." His eyes were searching. "You can depend on me.” “By gosh, I believe I ean. You look to manlike you had something more under that red hair than boy friends and movies. We’ll get along.” His wheel chair moved through the door. The Durfee file. Something clicked. That was the man they mentioned at the dinner table—the man who would relish a slight case of murder. 1 went to work on the papers. It merited thia Durfee file. (To be continued) CopjtHSt. Ills.
