Senator Kefauver Stumps For Adlai Opens Cross-Country Tour In lowa Today CENTERVILLE, la. UP — Sen. Estes Kefauver took to the stump tbday for the man who defeated him for the Democratic presidential nomination, saying onjly > Gov. Adlai E. Stevenson can bring the “change” needed- in Washington. The Tennesseean “enlisted, for the duration” in the Stevenson campaign in a speech prepared for delivery at the annual Pancake day celebration here. .'\ I | The address ’ was his first political speech since his defeat at the Democratic convention by Stevenson, iind marked the opening of a‘ 24-day cross-country tour he will make for the Democratic presidential ticket. . Kefauver made it clear that his campaign will be pitched on the theme that the Republicans have •‘misappropriated” the “time for a change” argument. J Pointing that he had been a presidential candidate “because I thought it was time for a change,” Kefauver said immediately after Stevenson won the nomination “I not sure that we would get the kind of change in policies and approach that I felt was necessary.” “There seemed to he enough Missouri iin the Stevenson campaign to make me want to be shown,” he said. After watching the Stevenson campaign for the past month, Kefauver- said: “I see in his campaign the opportunity to get the kind of change I want for the United States.” Jn Stevenson, be said, he has

,UA SYNOPSIS The year is 1864, the Civil War drawing to an end. We find Denny Rawls piloting the packet '’Astrid” along the treacherous Missouri river from St. Louis to Ft. Benton. He had rejected Kathleen Garrison's offer to captain her boat, “Varina. ■ He'is affianced to Astrid McQuestion. whose father owns the craft “Astrid.” He wonders how why she is showing so much attention to his rival riverman. Capt. Mark Whirter. After many hazards. Denny reaches a Wharf at Jefferson pity where he Is amazed to find his sweetheart and Whirter awaiting him. The latter curtly demands an inspection of the “Astrid’s” icargo. Search of the hold reveals contraband guns, and Whirter accuses Rawls of treason. When his fiancee joins in denouncing him. Rawls knows that he js victim of a conspiracy. He is left stranded in port as the “Astrid’* steams away. But the “Varina” later takes Denny aboard as captain and now in company with Kathleen Garrison once more; she introduces him to her first officer, a Mr. Earnshaw. The “Varina” determines to catch up with the packet “Astrid.” CHAPTER ELEVEN TABER twisted in Rawls’ grasp, then relaxed sullenly. Having had a demonstration of the power that dwelt in this man’s hands, he had no stoihach for more. ? "Now this is something, finding you here!” Rawls snapped. “I suppose that means that your pardner's somewhere around?” Taber was saved the need for answering, as Kathleen hurried up, attracted by the commotion. Recognizing his captive, she stared with Widening eyes. did he come from?” she gasped. “Why—he’s one of those men who were at The Planters —” . - “Exactly,” 'Rawls agreed. “And rm curious about finding him here, too. Talk!” he added to Taber. “There ain’t much o’ nothin’ to tqll, Cap’n,” Taber whined. "Me and my pard, Sol Sherwood, we Just asked for a Job, and got it. We sure didn’t figure on runnin’ into either o’ you, beggin’ your pardori.” He rolled his eyes from Kathleen to Rawls and back. "IWe’re just crew hands, toyin’ to do our work. As for that night, we was drunk. Just drunk enough to make trouble, but it won’t happen again—no more liquor . for either one o’ us!” Rawls let him go. The story was plausible, but he didn't believe It. They had been trouble-makecs on shore, and they’d bear watching afloat, but at least forewarned was forearmed. Kathleen was distressed. . \ “I wonder if he was telling the truth? Somehow, I don’t quite believe him.” “Nor I,” Rawls agreed. "But if you’re willing to give me the benefit of the doubt, I guess I can’t do any less with him.” He ohanged the subject abruptly. “Are you planning to go along to Fort Benton'?” “Yes. There’s nothing to keep me in St. Louis. I want to see how Bob is getting along, and be sure that he gets this cargo. It’s im-

portant to both of us. Everything we have is tied up in this trip.” “This is your first trip up the Missouri ?” “Yea You see, Dad and Bob went upriver a couple of years ago. Due to the war, the family fortunes in shipping were at a low ebb, and they decided to try prospecting. Last year, at Virginia City, they staked a rich claim, then sold it for a good price. With that stake they went Into business. It's a wild country, a long way from towns oi- stores, and Dad had been a small-town merchant at one time. He saw the possibilities in trading, running a store. I guess it turned out to be a bigger gold mine even than a good claim.” "It could easily do that.” “Yes. Anyway, they wanted more supplies. The trouble was to get them there, conditions being as they are. Some are shipped overland, byway of Salt Lake, but that’s slow and costly and pretty uncertain. Bob got the idea of buying a boat, sinCe we used to be shipowners, and bringing up a whole cargo for their own’ use. They purchased the boat through a St. Louis agent, contracted for the cargo, and —and then things commenced to go wrong.” “Yes ?” Rawls’ voice was sympathetic. “Dad was killed. An accident. That’s about all I know about it. But it meant that Bob couldn’t come down and take charge, as he had planned- He had to stay there, to look after things. So he sent me legal papers and told me to hire a captain. I had hoped to get you, because you know that country. We have flour, beans, molasses, hardware, miners*. tools, and so on. You can see now, why I’m glad to have you along. And to answer your question, I'm Anxious to see that country." • "It’s a beautiful land.” Enthusiasm crept into his voice, i “Wide, with an endless sky overhead. Off beyond where the boats go, there are the mountains, and that’s a totally different country, where the world stands on edge.” j “You love it, don’t you?” “Yes. I was bom there. My folks were among the first to go that way in a covered wagon. That was back in the days when there was a lot of excitement about getting settlers for the Oregon country, so that it would be populated by Americans and go to the United States. My folks never got that far —not to the real Oregon country. But wfiat they did reach has always suited me. This is a fine time to see the upper Missouri country, with spring advancing as we head north. The only bad thing this year is the threat of Indian “Td as soon risk one kind of war as another,” Kathleen said seriously. “Bob had to buy a lot ofthis

Joan Wemhoff Is Slated For High Office In BPW The following article was prepared, by a spokesman for the Decatur Business and Professional Women’s club, which is now. observing national business women’s week. “Mjss Joan Wemhoff, member ot the local Business and Professional Women’s club, is most likely to soon-be district director. Thia is indeed a recognition of \her ability and interest ip the affairs of the employed women and quitd an honor for the Jocal organization. “Mfrs Wemhoff is well qualified for the executive position of districts which iricludes several counties of northeastern Indiana. She had been a member of the Decatur B. P. W. fqr nine years and served as Its president two years. The o/flpe of feerptary was hers for two years and she has headed three of the most important committees, membership, finance, and public affairs. Last year she served on the state membership committee fbr the northern region of the Indiana federation of B. P. W. “The ngtionpl program of this large organization of working women has always interested Joan and received ■ her support. She has attended almost every district meeting and most slate conventions dur-; ing her membership.

stuff! oh credit, and if this trip Is successful, it will pay all our debts and we’ll own toe Varina, and have something ahead. But if anything should happen—” i She left that unfinished, but Rawls understood. River-boating was a hazardous occupation, and many things could happen—bursting’boilers, the bottom ripped out of a boat by a sawyer, or other disasters that always lurked around the rivar. “They say that you know the Missouri better than any other mail/* she added. “Do you think it would be safe to run at night, while the moon is full?” "It’s risky, but If you say so, we’U do it,” he agreed. “Then I say so,” she nodded. "Time is vital.” That suited him. If they could overtake the Astrid . . . Observation soon convinced him that Earnshaw was an efficient officer. The early moon, nearly fit the lull, arose just as the sun was setting. The. river was wide, and under this thin light they kept running, Rawls at the wheel. Constant alertness was required. Debris rode the river like a tide, but ; What they cbuld see wasn’t too bad. ! i It was the mass of stuff in and finder the water, the invisible bars'and sawyers concealed by the coffee-colored floor, which made the real hazard. As he had estimated, the Various I was built for speed, and he was soon, satisfied that they could at t least' match the Astrid, mile for i mile. It f struck him that the wish > was illogical. Ai To overtake the Astrid short of Benton would be inviting additional trouble for himself. Certainly he didn’t want to see Astrid herself again, or any of that crew. But the eagerness persisted. ' 'thOre was an informality aboard the, Varina which did not prevail on the regular packets, particularly the floating j palaces which In normal tjmes plied the Mississippi. Normally the cabin deck would be lined with passengers, but since there, were nona on board, extra cargo was stowed wherever possible/ ■ Onthe Varina, as on most boats, a long saloon stretched the length of the boat—rich with costly carpets, ' guttering chandeliers and handsome furniture, and lined with staterooms on both sides. j The Gentlemen’s Cabin in ths forepart was reserved for men, while’the rear quarter of the saloon . farthest from the boilers, was the Ladies* Cabin,' shut off by glass doors. But Kathleen, as owner, made,it plain from the start that she would go anywhere and everywhere as tpe notion took her. She delighted in climbing, to, the lofty pilothouse which crowned Um texas, ; (To Be Continued)
