Item- like: J Stalin was a re t ent luncheon guest at the Harty Trumans. Liver and bacon smothered in onions were enjoyed by a j large party. Ye Ed wonders where j they got the red points.' The 100 correspondents who are hanging their clothes in Berlin, but can't go near the water at Potsdam, are complaining. Some newspapers are backing them up. We can't agree with them. We realize there are certain dangers in a policy of secrecy. There are bound to be rumors, garnered from a second cousin who happens to be a military policeman in Potsdam. But there could be a lot more danger from leaks of actual happenings at the conference. It's too easily overlooked that while the Big Three Conference in

i | some ways resembles a peace conv fercnce, it is also a war conference, t We still have Japan to beat. , Philadelphia Record. j—o - - $ — ■ ■ ■ ——- — 8 Twenty Years Aqo Today _ July 27 William Jennings Bryan, the "Great Commoner." dies suddenly at Dayton, Tenn., where he has taken a strenuous part, in the Si-op"- trial David E.

Maternity Care To Serviceman's Wife — ( a serviceman's wife may apply I for maternity care and care for her I baby, under the emergency milterI ity and infant car eprogram, even ' after her husband ha. been honor i ably discharged, promoted, or deI moled, provided she was pregnant during the period when he was in one ot the tour lowest pay grades of the services or wa- serving as an aviation cadet. On the same hasifs, she may apply if the hu-oand and lather is a prisons I of war, missing in action, or dead. This clarification as to who is entitled to case under ’he government's emergency maternity and infant tare program was made today by Dr. Robert E. Jewett ot the Indiana state board ot health, which administers the program under plans approved by the children's bureatt. I'. S. department of labor. The new interpretation. Dr. Jewett explained, is in accord with a recent congressional recommendation designed to extend the benefits of this program to wives who fail to make application for themselves and their infan's before the status of their hu-bands is changed. 'Heretofore the application for care had to be made while the serviceman was 111 otic of the eligible grades. Xow all that is required to establish eligibility is proof that the wife was pregnant while he was in one of the eligible grades. The infant in these cases is also eligible for full care during his first i year of life. Similarly, if the fathj er of an infant whose mother did i not receive care under the pro- ’ gram was in one of those grades at ! any time during the infant’s first | year of life, the infant e eligibility j for care under the program is esI tablished. The greatest effect of the new l policy will be in bringing infants

CHAPTER TWENTY-SEVEN |i AGATHA'S MIND reeled when ’ the college president told them that 1 the radio tube Clemantine laid on i h'.s desk was not the one for which , j the police and federal men had been • ■ • searching. "It—it must be!" she gasped. "Clemantine and I were almost killed—getting it here to you!” "Nevertheless, it is not the tube that Professor Halder invented. I’m sorry, Miss Brown.” His eyes were troubled. He, too, apparently had been hopeful for a moment. "You see, the college had purchased a number of this special type of lube for him. It contains parts he needed.” "O-o-oh!" Agatha felt herself wilting inside her fur coat. She I didn’t exactly faint, hut her knees 1 out under her and she colinto the arms of a young. baliSheaded fellow who dropped a wriling-pad and pencil to catch her. | “Aunt“ Agatha Fainting now!” "Hi, gorgeous!” the rescuer ! called to Clemantine. “Assistance! j Does she often go ph-woof like j this? What do I do with her?” j “The couch!" exclaimed Cleman- ! tine,,and helped lay the older woman down. “I’m all right,” Agatha protested weakly. But she welcomed the tXiuch. All the strength seemed to have been knocked out of her. “'There’s water in the hall,” a familiar voice announced. “I’ll get some.’* Agatiia turned her head, startled. The\fifth person was Willard Bacon, th<\b’ind student. He was going out the door. Almost immediately he returned, his handkerchief dripping with water from the drinking fountain outside. Clemantine took the wet handkerchief and placed it on the elder woman’s brow, but Agatha didn’t need it. She was thinking, “What's Willard doing here?” Agatha’s erstwhile supporter retrieved his notebook from the floor. “Looks to me like you gals have a Btory.” Agatha sat up. “Story?” Os President Hill she demanded, “Who is this man?” President Hill introduced them apologetically. “This is Mr. Belzer, newspaper reporter." “You've probably seen my byline.” said Belzer. “Pretty good , stuff, if Ido say so.” p "Tow certainly do," agreed Cle-

mantine coldly. "I don’t think we 1 want to talk with any newrpaper- t men.” < President Hill cleared his throat. "Ah -Mr. Belzer and I were just i discussing that problem. At first I i was of your opinion, but he has a t rather good thought.” “Yeh," interrupted the reporter, i “If you don't talk, the papers print 1 rumors, probably all wrong.” “I see Mr. Belzer's point,” the < president agreed, although I naturally was reluctant at first. Perhaps < it would be good to tell him every- I thing we know. He won’t go : wrong.” ; The blind boy spoke up. “But suppose we are wrong ourselves?” : “You know a few things for sure,” Blezer prompted. “You know Professor Halder was stabbed to death in his room about midnight last night.” President Hill corrected him. “Not stabbed to death. He was stabbed in the back, and died i later.” “Okeh. Anyway, the guy’s dead. And the knife was stuck in his back while he lay in bed. The police say the room was locked tight. That right?” The president nodded. He motioned to Clemantine to take a chair, then sank back into his own comfortable seat. “The windows and door, and even the transom, had been bolted on the inside. Otto was afraid of attack at night. The invention on which he was working was vital to America, you know.” I understand it’s a radio tube that would control an aerial tor- " Exactly. It would do away with the need for crews in bombers.” “And it's gone?” “Yes. Apparently taken out of his laboratory, on the ground floor • of the same building in which he : slept, on the very night he peri fected It and while armed men stood guard at the doors!” "Was it very large?” “About twice the size of this i one.” President Hill fingered the tube which the two women had f thought oversize.- “A person might > hide it under a large coat, if no one looked at him closely. Otherwise it 1 would be hard to spirit it out of , the building.” “The thief must be a phantom.” “Apparently he paid a return i visit to Otto’s room while several of us stood m the hall with - [Lieutenant Lar key of the police.
