Call To Democrats:— This is a reminder to Democrats—vote Tuesday in the pri,'mary election. No slight to our Republican friends is intended, for the reason that the Republicans do not have a primary election. \ Republican candidates are unopposed for nomination and consequently have not entered a ticket. With the Democrats there are three contests and these races must be decided by you. The voting places will be open for 12 hours—from 7 a.ni. to 7 p.m. daylight saving time. /• -. The candidates expect you to go to the polls and vote your ticket. A nominee for mayor and two for • the city council must be selected by the Democrats. If you vote the Democrat ticket, v don’t fail to; cast your ballot in Tuesday’s primary, for it is ypur responsibility to help select the i party nominees. \ —o o— The one person who has all the money she wants has been found.

Margaret Chase Smith, the J talented and gracious woman from Maine who serves with great credit in the Senate, will conduct the investigations. It seems that Sen. Taft was a party in the unseating of Mrs. Smith from a senate committee, and now she is in a posit ioh to get even with Mr. Republican.- > The charge is made that all is not serene in the Buckeye state .and friends of the senator wish he hadn’t; irked the woman from Maine. . d ■ Administration critics and politicians who have been gunning for Secretary of State Acheson accused the head of the state department as being, the man responsible fOr‘removing Gen.

V J- ; . — When Should Patient Get Up After Operation?

OF late years, great emphasis has been placed on what is known a£ early ambulation fOr surgical* patients. Nowadays, patients who* have had operations are allowed to lie in any position they prefer; they are encouraged to . jbreathe deeply and to move their arms and legs as soon as they are conscious. In many cases they are urged to get out of bed very promptly, often within a day of so after surgery. " , This does not mean, however, that such patients should be rushed put of the hospital soon as they are able to get I about. Where this; mistaken r course is followed, complications may develop which will send the patient back to the hospital for a longei stay than would have been necesSciry ip the first place. It Ss also possible to overdo the business of getting patients out' of bed early following an operation The prime heed for the first few dwvs ’ is rest of the affected par..s, ro that tissues will be given a Hiance to heal and bleeding to stop; Thus, though rest in bed is essential during this .period, the patient may have deep breathing and leg exercises to keep up the circulation, thus preventing the development of blood clots which are often such a severe complication of surgery. • •; Another ipoaSible : complication is atelectasis or collap^..^ t«a lungs- This is warded o« byj deep breathing TT tj'■ ' ' .

main difference between President Truman and Gen. MacArthur centered entirely on policy, for which the chief executive is re ; sponsible. The Red Cross Bloodmobile will be here Thursday and headquarters will be established at the American Legion homei Facilities have been expanded sb that eight donors can be accommodated every fifteen minutes and the goal is 125 volunteers. Blood quotas: have increased by the military and the service given by donors in supplying this need is one of the most helpful to members of the armed forces. Last March blood donations exceeded the- county quota and those in charge of the local program are hopeful that similar response will greet the second visit of the Bloodmobile* to this city. S 1 o——o—; \ Avoid Panic And Fear:Millard Caldwell, federal civil defense administrator, in a plea to members ofj the American Newspaper Publishers Association, asked that newspapers help to educate readers on personal survival in the event of an atomic attack. Caldwell said that such an attack is possible because Russia hat: the atom bomb and the planes* Capable of bringing it to our major cities. He said that even mentary public education might save countless lives in„the event of an attack. i \ H J. ' Shutting our eyes to the possibility of having our cities bombed would be foolish. Panic and fear must not be allowed to creep Into our national thinking to the extent-that they. will prevent clear, logical thinking about the problems that beset'us. We are Americans with a long tradition of courage. Whatever we are called on to do, whatever A i 5 ' iLJ Jf :■[ ■ ' ! danger we are-asked to meet, we must remember that men have faced similar dangers before and have come out safely. The greatest weapon any enemy can ever wield is fear. A frightened and panic-stricken civilian population makes the job of its defenders all but irhpossible. i J 1 Preparation for an air attack in the larger cities, such as first aid training, training in volunteer fire fighting, and other civil defense planning, will assure us of efficient people who can lead the way in any situation. \ „ ■ r ‘ h ■ I -A . ?

Aftdr about four days, when the wound is safe against strain; the ./patient may be allowed to be up. Usually he is carried to a jchair and is permitted to sit up for a While, or he may, if he feels like it, take the few steps to ihe chair The natural desire of the patient is nearly | always the bes. guide as to wheh he should walk, lie should certainly hot be. tirsed to get up until he feels like doing so - ( It has Seen estimated that | hav ing patients get up early following operating would incijeasc, from 10 to 20 percent, the capacity of a hospital, would reduce greatly the call on the nurses’ time, and would be most tidal to the patient. However, speeding up the patient’s ; dis chargte from the hospital is no: advisable since complications could then develop “ which, would only make it necessary for the patient to return to the hospita 1 for a long stay. i QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS i Mrs. C.W.*: My feet s cold.

CHAPTER FIVE CHART JONES whirled. He had a flash of nice legs and jellshaped ankles above sling-back sandala "he flicked down the brownstone steps and disappeared westward-toward Fifth Avenue and Central Park. The siren filled the night now and the leading headlights stabbed around the corner. McGann closed the door quickly and stepped back. A moment ago, he had been congratulating himself upon the eminently fairway in Which he bad handled matters. He had touched nothing, interfered hot at all and promptly bad notified New York police that they had a terrific murder on their hands. Now at the very last Instant, McGann had tampered with the natural course of events. He had advised Chary Jones to keep moving. Why? Half-regretfully, he hoped that it was because he did not wish to stand idly by and see a nice girl blunder into a top role in a murder investigation. Which was exactly what would have happened had he allowed her to step inside. Yes, that was why he had told Miss Jones to hit the road and not for home, • either. They'd look for her there in a hurry. He'd wanted to give her a chance to keep uer pretty little nose clean ...he wanted to talk to her before anybody else did. It was not, he assured. himself, so that he could enjoy one bit of information the investigating officers would not know. Certainly not. A charge as false as it was malicious... The front door\ practically jumped into the hallway under the crash of official fists. McGann took a deep breath. **J. Edgar Hoover be with me," he said, and opened it. Deputy Chief Inspector Cornelius Patrick O'Callahan peered out from beneath jutting brows that were like white cotton tufts pasted on a block of pink wood. He drumiped with heavy square fingers on the desk of the late Ronni? Tompkins. “The deceased,** he asked McGann again, Mentioned no names?” "No names. Inspector," McGann said for the seventh time. He heard the clock in the front hall chime the half hour and he looked at his watch—9:3o. For 1 almost three hours, this had been going on. O'Callahan and his men had clamped a steel grip on the Tompkins residence within minutes of their arrival. Men had deployed everywhere with remarkable speed. Already, one had struck his head smartly on a basement girder, and a colleague had twisted his ankle on the roof. But these minor mishaps detracted not a bit from a smooth display of efficiency. The official police photographers had photographed the body from at least nine different angles. Fingerprint men had dusted every eonceivable surface of the study and adjoining art gallery. One had picked up the pistol near the open window by inserting a thin steel rod into the barrel, not touching the weapon itself with his hands He had snared the ejected «heIP

in thefsame way. They had gone : to the ballistics department. ; Only ; a large Irregular stain now showed where the body of Ronald Tompkihs had lain. The assistant medical examiner, *a dark little 1 man with gold-rimmed spectacles, had pronounced Tompkins dead of a bullet wound in the back. , The gtm had been held, rather close, he said moodily,' pointing to the powder burns on the clothing. Then de pad supervised the removal Qf the remains to Bellevue morgues where it* was at that moment being posted, The flashbulbs of the ; newspaper photographers outside had gone off in a dazzling chain reaction when the stretcher was carried to the dead wagon. O*C ai 1a h a n’s heavy fingers paused in mid-air. He withdrew his steely blue gaze from McGann, wiped it across the drapes and used it neatly to impale Frazier FarwelM who . jumped. The radio man now was wearing fawn-col-ored slacks, a soft shirt and a plaid sport coat which accentuated the putty-like Color of his skin. “And all you know, Mr. Farwell, Is that Solly Spanish asked you about the layout of this house and whether Mr. Tompkins had Said when h« would go south?" Farwell nodded unhappily. "I—JI just thought I ought to tell Ronnie,” he croaked. "He was always decent to me." The inspector’s voice was edged. "You’re sure, Mr. Farwell, that you didn't let your imagination get the better of you—so that Tompkins might feel obligated and react accordingly?" A dull flush crept up above the collar of the sportj shirt. But if Farwell had considered a sharp answer, he seemingly thought better of it* He said, “Na” O’Callahan sighed thoughtfully}, the cottony eyebrows drew together. “AU right,” he said. “Both of you can go. And let me give a word of warning." ‘ \ ' 9 He gave considerably more than a word. He began by acknowledging the Splendid record of Mr. McGann in the Washington service with which he was personally familiar. He touched upon the straightforward account of affairs that they had given. He mentioned that he Would be truly grieved if through, Carelessness they exposed themselves .to the murderer of Tompkins, and thereby increased the Work of the department. In conclusion, he would like to see them at the inquest set tor the following 1 day. Meanwhile, .they were to discuss the case with no one. Ana, oh yes—one more point. Any boarding of fast trains, speedy ocean liners or transcontinental planks Would be viewed with the deepest suspicion and alarm. rT wouldn’t | want to have to lock you up in the Tombs as material witnesses," he a voice which indicated* that he would like nothing better. Then he rose. “*l’ll see you to the door." His broad back preceded them down thfei hallway, now brightly lighted by a'strong bulb dug up by a pat rc Iman in the storage room. The inspector opened the door and -an equally broad back in I blue moved aside on the front stoop. Instantly, half a dozen i flashbulbs went off. i Several men and women, who i had been fitting on the front steps, i Jumped UP and moved toward the ' door. Leading was an elderly man 1 in a derby and a dusty coat. 1 "How about It, Inspector?" be i said testily. Tve got a deadline \

Til have a statement in five minutes," he said. i One of the girls said "Nuts." <; A ’ dark young man with sharp features beneath a crumpled fedora shoved his face forward. “We want a look around inside," he said. “Ouf photographers want some inside shbta We haven’t—" McGann stepped back so that they would not see him. Farwell, too, remained tn the shadows. “Five minutes," Inspector O’Callahan promised. He moved back and closed the door. “You can’t go out that way." In the end, they went down the back fire-escape to the courtyard. McGann noticed bow quickly and quietly the iron extension went up. They passed through the next-door service hall to the front. McGann looked closely but saw nothing. Ho and Farwell walked rapidly west toward the park, heads down, hats pulled low over their eyes. At Fifth Avenue, they stopped. Farwell seemed to have developed a slight tremor that moved th waves from his head to his toes. “Going south?" the radio man asked. "I’ve just got time to get tp my hotel and lasso my -nervea Tm on a midnight show and the way 1 feel now no record would be safe with me." , He held out a quivering hand which McGann found alarmingly bold. The detective shook it and said reassuringly, “You’ll be all right If you find time, play a little early Lombardo tor me." Farwell grinned weakly. But ths request seemed to buck him up. “Glad to,” he said. He waved wildly at a southbound cab which stopped suddenly. “Gc ahead," McGann said. Tm walking a bit" Farwell darted across the street arid the cab door slammed behind him. The cab had hardly pulled away before the detective noticed ( a dark ear without markings swing around the corner, and glide after it Two men sat stolidly in the front seat, their eyes on the cab. •The detective smiled grimly. There was nothing, he thought like the trust of a forthright character such as Deputy Inspector C. P. O’Callahan. Twas a thing to warm the hardest heart, and sure “twould make you worship the ground they’d throw in his face some day. * He wondered how many men were tailing him. Probably two, at least. They’d sit in the car unless he ducked into a subway and then one would have to hit the pavement. The other would hang around a while, then go back to headquarters and wait for contact to be re-established. . McGann walked south. The night air was clean and cook From the corner of his eye, he saw another car puli’ around into Fifth and slide to the curb/across the street. Shadow the shadow, he thought. He glanced at his wrist-watch as he passed under a street light. I'", It Twas 9:5a The Fifty-Ninth Street plaza was just three blocks away and he had ten minutes. The way Chary Jones had looked at him, he could have fifty years. Still, she might show up. And certainly he wanted to talk to her alone. Before O ’Callahan or any of his lieutenants got there. She might know something important without even realizing it Had Tompkins really loyed her? Had he confided anything to her? Had she loved him? \ (To Bo Coafiaaod/ . I Ti" .
