1 other defendant, but jockeying his t case because of politics doesn’t leave a good taste with the Ameri > lean people. 1 —-0 0The first great case to come before the U. S. Supreme court since Chief Justice Earl Warren assumed office on the high tribk.- . unal< is the argument on racial segregation in the public school 1 system. Arguments of attorneys who claim that segregation vioI " ~ lates the 14tb amendment to the Constitution stated their views 1 to the justices yesterday. Heading , the array of talent that will de- ; fend segregation is John W.. Davis, fahied lawyer and an expert on -constitutional law. The decision of the Supreme Court will be far reaching. If segregation is outlawed governors of several southern states have threatened to close the public schools, or circumvent the law by selling the .schools to private owners. If we believe the Declaration of Independence, "that all men. are created equal”, then segregation is wrong.. !/.'/■ ' '.... . — Aid To Disabled:— As the age of the nation's population advances', the number of disabled people increases. The Bureau of. Labbr Statistics estiT mates that “between five and six million persons of working age are suffering with disabilities serious enough to make it difficult for them to find jobs. Another 250.000 persons each year develop disabilities as a result of disease or accident. These figures plainly show that the problem of disabled persons is serious. But flglrres do not show the suffering and frustration that these people, arid those near -to . them, experience. Nor do they illustrate the social cost of this problem—in terms of income lost through the enforced idleness of most of these persons and in terms of the amount paid to help •them. Last year the government spent $395,000.0'00 for aid to the disabled and their dependents. Cither millions of dollars were spent on their behalf by private agencies; | ~ < Plainly, a new approach for aiding the disabled is needed-one that will enable society to utilize the talents that so many of them have. The hearings being conducted by a subcommittee of the house committee on education and labor on the subject of assistance and rehabilitation of the physically handicapped should shed light on this social and economic problem. ; .

SYNOPSIS \ Philip Haven's niece. Libby was missing from the house when Philip returned home to Connecticut, after a long absence in Mexico. Libby had left a note in her room urging the family not to worry, promising they'd hear from her soon. Her cousin Kit and Hugo Cavanaugh, an attorney, once devoted to Kit but now Libby's swain, start out to find the missing girl. They visit the meagre New York apartment of Tony Wilder, a classically handsome young man of whom Libby had become enamoured. But Tony, like Libby, is nowhere to be found. They proceed to the uptown home of Eleanor Oaks, a bizarre and tarnished lady, who seems greatly agitated when Kit suggests that Tony ana Libby may have eloped. Samuel Pedrick. a tall macabre figure, is present as they chat. Her search fruitless. Kit returns to the Connecticut house. Hugo tells her that the wraith-like Pedrick is a figure well-known in the New York underworld. Late that night Kit discovers a light left burning in the kitchen, but reaching it she finds the room empty, the kettle singing merrily on the stove, a window open, a garden ladder reposing beneath the window of Libby's room. Rushing to that upper chamber. Kit finds a hat form, resembling Libby’s head, smashed grotesquely against the floor. Is this a symbol of someone's hate, desire for revenge? But why? During the night a yellow convertible had been seen parked near the Haven gate. Eleanor Oaks' car fitted that description. CHAPTER ELEVEN BLOOD swept up into Anita’s cheeks when Kit declared Eleanor Oaks’ convertible had been parked outside her house at 3 a. m. She said: “I don’t know what all this has to do with Libby. 1 didn’t see any parked car last night —and 1 don’t know anything whatever about Eleanor Oaks. I never saw the woman in my life.” “I think,” Kit said steadily, “that there was a man with Eleanor Oaks. I think the man was Samuel Pedrick.” Anita laughed. It was a hard, brittle laugh. “Kit, surely you don’t , see that woman, or that man either, climbing ladders and smashing hats and putting kettles on to boil in a strange house in the dead of night ?" Kit refused to be diverted. "I’ll tell you what 1 do think, Anita. I think you know PedriCk. You denied it, but I think you do.” Anita stared at Kit whitely, her eyes burning. Suddenly she buried her face in her hands. Her body began to shake. Then Miriam came hurriedly into the room, bringing Bobby with her. “Anita,” she cried, “have you heard—Oh, Catherine’s told you. I got worried about Bobby. With things like this going on, no one is safe. I don’t think you ought \to let him play outside alone.” Bobby took his hand from Miriam’s indignantly. “Mama, please can I go back to my sand-box?” It struck Kit that there was a bond between Anita and her aunt, that in some obscure way Miriam dominated Anita. Her aunt’s hasty arrival wasn’t accidental It was deliberate. If Anita had been on the point of breaking down, she wasn’t now. She had recovered herself. “Your burglar last night, Miriam? Yes, Kit’s been telling me. . . . Dreadful It gave me a jolt. You must think me a perfect fool, Kit" And you. Kit said to herself, must think me one. Anita wouldn’t look at her, fussed, which was most uncharacteristic, about Bobf' ■ " ' ? 'T ■ ' ■ . - ■

by’s cut, a mere scratch. "We’ll have to use iodine, darling." Kit went, leaving \her aunt tn possession of the field. She walked slowly down the driveway and along the road thinking about Anita Stewart, assembling what she actually knew. It wasn’t much. Anita had come to Denfieid five years ago, when Bobby was an infant in arms. Her husband was dead. He was in the air force, and had been killed in a training flight in Japan after having come safely through the war. There was a portrait of him in uniform ip Anita’s studib. Anita had never said why she had chosen Denfieid to settle down In, except that she had disliked California, where she had lived when her husband was in the service, and that she\ loved the New England countryside. Anita was an only child, and her father and mother, who lived in Virginia, generally spent a month of the summer with her. They were charming people. She lived well, but quietly on an income she eked out by occasional free-lance jobs. Kit walked away. She knew herself to be overwrought and keyed up with anxiety about Libby. Could she have imagined the entire situation? No, on two counts—Anita’s reaction when she heard Pedrick s name, and her behavior a few minutes ago. Nor could she have been mistaken, about Miriam’s dark Ordering glance at Anita when she practically ran into the room. Kit hated to go into the house again. Anger lashed her. She opened the front door and closed It with a slam. There was someone with Philip in the livingroom. It was his lawyer, Gerard Strait, Hugo’s boss and the senior partner of Keogh, Campbell, Strait and Frobisher. Strait was a tall man, with a fine thin face and tired gray eyes. He greeted Kit pleasantly. He made light of his visit. He was in the,neighborhood and thought he’d stop in and have a chat with Philip about investments. Her uncle had been telling him about Libby. He turned to Philip and said: “You’ll hear soon. I’m sure of it. In the meantime, we might try to locate her for you independently—with kid gloves'on, of course." “Trace her?” Philip expostulated angrily. "If Libby didn’t know any better than to leave home with the first plausible scoundrel she met then—” He swung fiercely on William, coming in with the mail. William gave Mr. Strait a respectful bow, and said hurriedly: “I thought you’d like these, Mr. Haven." “Yes. Fine. Thanks. Close the door behind you when you go out." William went and Philip riffled through his letters. Nothing in Libby’s handwriting. He paused at a long, thin envelope, ripped it bpen and drew out the enclosure. It was a folded square of cleansing tissue. “What the devil!" He had received a lot of queer communications through the mall since his inheritance was publicized in the local papers, most of them asking for money. This was the queerest of alh There was something on

the tissue. He unfolded it, flattened it out on the table and scowled down. In the center of the soft sheet was the scarlet shape of a pair of lips. “Another crank,” he said disgustedly. Mr. Strait bent over the table and scrutinized the scarlet blot. There was a thin white vertical line in the soft bow of the upper lip, the single break in the redness. “Giri had a scar.” Kit gave a,little cry. Philip-went white. Strait looked from one to the other. Philip said: "Libby has a scar. In her upper lip. She got it falling off a fence when she was 14.” The room was very stilt Philip sat, syuddenly as though he were a puppet and a string had been pulled. The wrong string. , Mr. Strait said: "Is your niece addicted to whimsy? This might be some sort of wedding announcement from her. Better examine the rest ot your mail. There might be something else?” j Philip obeyed. A bill from ia New York store. Libby’s. Kit’S eyes blurred. She remembered Libby’s first expensive suit, It was a blue gabardine. Philip had gone along to help. She could See Libby’s expression of delight, hear her voice. "Oh. but darling, ft’s $225,” and Philip’s. "Always buy the best — it's an economy ” * Her uncle’s hands were ShakHe picked up an envelope that was soft and rather bulky. He opened It and took out a white doeskin glove that had been worn, but not for long. On the back a gold button was initialled L. T. L. T.—Libby Tallis. There had been no doubt before —the tissue was enough. There was a terrible certainty new—the glove clinched iL Philip clutched at the table for support and his head fell forward and he closed his eyes. His agony was dreadful to watch. They knew now. Everything was clear. Libby hadn’t gone away of her own accord. She had been taken away. . The car was coming around the side of the house. William was at | the wheel. He was probably going , to pick Miriam up at Anita's. Sunlight slanted in on the tissue held tn Philip's hand. There should have been no element of surprise in the two grim messages that had come through the mai 1, Kit thought. The truth had been revealed that morning, in the hat lying on the rug in Libby’s bedroom with the hammer beside iL Kit realized that she must have known it obscurely then, but it was something that you couldn’t face. Hugo had faced it He was responsible for Mr. Strait’s being here. 1 The lawyer wanted every detail they could give him. Philip looked like an old, old man. Kit went over it again—only how different everything was now. Libby hadn’t writ- j ten of her own free will the note to which they had pinned their | trust She hadn’t slipped out of the house smiling and on tiptoe, with the man she loved. "Now, Miss Haven, when you went to New York Wednesday morning—” (To Be Continued)

He said the defense goal is to "get more defense per dollar spent" by eliminating waste and improving effectiveness. He said the air force must continue to be 1 “second to none.” It will have at least 115 "good wings” by next June 30 and 127 wings two years after that, he said. The need for unity in Indiana GOP ranks was talked up by almost every banquet speaker, including Sens. Homer E. Capebart and William E. Jenner, and Rep. Cfiarles E. Haljleek. \ Jenner was thd most popular man present, judging by applause. He urged the GOP to campaign on a "Protect America" slogan. Capehart, just back from a 51day. !»,0n)-mile tour of Latin America, said it is the . party’s responsibility to maintain a high level of productivity, prosperity and trade.
