O—« '■ Walter Reuther has been reelected for his sixth term as president of the CIO United Auto Workers. He is either very popular er very oMtetent as his etoetton this tens was by acclamation. Wo de h let of talking here and all ever tee world about creating a peraumest peace. Why don’t the leaders ot the larger nations sit down and honestly work it out? The answer probably is politico tn every nation. Os course if a third world war tat started. poMttetens won’t have mech chance for a long time so it seems foolish to the average man on the streets to postpone tee things that will bring about peace on earth. 0 0 Within two weeks the World will know whether er sot tee scientists and doctors have won the polio fight. They say that they have completed the experiments and are ready to report. They also claim or some do that of the two million children inoculated only one-fifth received Salk vaccine which is supposed to be the real preventative.- Os the 40&,000 thus treated test year, not a single case’ was reported. So apI* cording to those who should know. What a glorious thing tea* will be.

The baseball etabs of the National and American leagues are packing their bate and those who signed contracts will soon be on their way north to open the long season in the next ten days or two weeks. Some of the teams will contain a number of new faces but of course others will have only a change here and there from last year. It’s the great American sport and win so continue for years to come. 0 o Mrs. Durries Crane, wife of a Washington financier, “dressed all up” and went to a reception given tor Mrs. Eisenhower, the first lady. It was quite an event but when Mrs. Crane wee in the line to greet the First Lady, toe discovered their dresses which had come from a New York jfesigaer were exactly alike. That’s bad. Os course Mrs. Eisenhower passed it off with a smile but toe of the hot reporters will have to dig up what the reply of the designer is to both of the ladies, with their remittance checks. Perhaps van use it to get off the Formosa hook. It ought to be snore important than the squirrel story. —< —o— A recent poll shewed that 7t% of those people questioned belioved war is inevitable. That may depend on how long a period they covered. Just now we doubt if the leaders in any country in the world would be foolish enough to start a conflict, that might bring destruction to the world. To start with there is no cause for a war except the greed of a few individuals who probably believe they could proHLia neaJth or power ’ but we don 4 see how they could convince their people. Think we trill stick with the eighteen portent who vqte< “no.”

When a man asks a girl what kind of flowers she would prefer for her evening dress, should she make any suggestions, especially if the flowers she prefers are expensive? A It would be better if she told him the color of her dress, and let him choose appropriate flowers. The florist can help him here. Q. When giving a tip, is it also necessary to say a kind word of appreciation to that person? A. Although not considered “necessary," a kind word of appreciation is never out of place. Q. Is it good form for a host to sharpen his knife at the table before carving a roast or fowl? A Nq; he should do this in the kitchen before the meal Is served.

CHAPTER XWKNXX SUSAN DWIGHT engaged to Lofting . . . What did she see in IRe fellow? Andrus thought. He was pleasant enough and he’d never hurt you with a bad answer, but he was bone lazy. ( Andrus forced his attention back to his own situation. He was very little more forward than be had been when be came up here over • week ago. Me had been released en a Scetoh veedite of not proven, simply because there wasn’t enough to hold him on. Mrs. Fenn had said he was with Midnight Mike on the night Roger Pelham was killed —but not exactly when. She might never be able to say. Regina behaved in him—or did she, completely? Once or twice that afternoon hadn't there been a flicker of daaM tn h»f “But who, Jim—who couM have driven your car thal nigbt? I suppose R was someone who had no ear and wanted to get somewhere to a hurry tod took a short ent threugl S our grounds. Bulk* Ate*.teem wra n ge ...” tbs mem who had killed Brodsky an# almost killed Mrs. Fean wab behind bars he would never be really cleared. Todhunter had tried to persuade him to go back to New York, at which he had merely smiled. He intended to remain here on the spot and pursue his inquiries openly, no matter whose toes Re stepped on or how many people he offended. His avowed intention of getting to the bottom of Roger Pelham’s death might tot aa a spur, prod the killer into renewed life, make him betray himself, • —i Everything else was subservient, including Regina. For the present marrying was on the dark side of the moon. Regina had said nothing, given no slightest indication of how she felt about taking up . where they had toft rtt If his innocence was proved would toe still want to marry him? There was certainly »• teger mention of it . ; * Then be asked himself whether there bad «voe been any real eagerqtm Bl either of them. But all that ■ > would have tai wait. Andrys walked into the inn lobby, an immense raftered room scattered with sofas aad chairs and with two fireplaces. If he had any deMbt of how he stood in the eyes of the WB it was resolved then. He was disliked and feared. There was a eocktail party going on taM the place was crowded. People sipping drinks and laughing and talking; as he made his way through the room toward the east wing he moved in a smaß oasis of silence. The Hill had no doubt of his guilt, at least where Roger Pelham was concerned. His room, a big room that took up the whole end of the wing, had three long windows opening directly on the grounds. He made sure that the windows were locked, lowered the Venetian blinds, went to the suitcase he had had sent up from New York, opened it and

took out his service revolver and a box of cartridges. Having failed to> eliminate him by due process of law, the killer might decide to put a summary end to his activities, and it was as well to be prepared. He was slipping bullets into the chamber when there was a knock on the door. Andras didn't care who knew he he had a gun, the more the merrier. He called, “Enter," and the door opened and Jude’s friend, Dr. Fernandez, walked into the room, accompanied by the head of the Manhattan Homicide squad, Inspector Christopher McKee. Introductions, handshakes, they all sat down. Andras was immediately impressed by the tall Scotsman, by his strong face, his quiet manner and his unobtrusive force. It would have been difficult not to be. More than that, he liked him at <mce; he refused altogether to consider the Inspector’s first proposition, which was that he leave Wolf Hill McKee continued to survey Andrus pleasantly. He hadn’t expected it He agreed to turn over anything he discovered to Todhunter, who was to remain on the HiU. Eyeing the gun lying on the bureau, McKee advised against Andras’ carrying it or even keeping it in his possession. “We’re up against a ruthless individual who knows how to twist what’s lying around loose to the best advantage. You would be framed with your gun, nicely.” But Andrus wouldn’t part with the gun. “I’ll keep it safe —and I can assure you 1 won’t use it unless ! have to.” After that they talked for some time. McKee’s questions ranged far and wide. He asked about Regina Pelham’s financial position and Andras* brows rose. He said they'd never discussed the subject, specifically. She had a small ini come from her father’s estate, just about enough to live on, and the house —which was more of a/liability tSan anything else. —The Peeping Tom in the Pelham grounds on Sunday night was t touched on, it would be interesting , to know who he was and why he I was there . . . and then there was I Mrs. Frederick Pelham and her ( sending of the snapshot to the I Yonkers Messenger. McKee said, “I don’t think Edith ; Pelham likes you very much, Mr. Andras, or her husband either." In ; his opinion the Frederick Pelhams ■ disliked Andras in his character of . prospective bridegroom, simply and ’ solely that, yet it was hard to see 1 as things stood why they were so averse to Regina's remarriage. If Regina were a wealthy woman it would be understandable-;Fred-erick was Regina’s only brother and she was very fond of him. But i she wasn’t Ti wealthy woman. As , for Edith’s search of Mrs. Casscrly’s room K might or might not be i germane. According to Todhunter, the nurse was an uneasy woman.

Carillonic Bells Are Out Os Order The Carillonic bells in the thW? er of Zion Lutheran church, west Monroe street, have been out of order for the past three weeks. The Sehulraerick Carillon company of Sellersville. Pa., who installed the bells, has been informed of their condition and the local pastor, the Rev. Edgar P. Schmidt, has been awaiting the arrival of the engineer to make the necessary repairs. “We sincerely hope the repairs will be made the early part of next week." state Rev. Schmidt. “It would be a shame to have such beautiful musical instruments in our towers and not be able to give our community the benefit of the Lenten and Easter hymns during Holy Week.” The bells were dedicated two years ago on East er Sunday morning and were the gift to the congregation of the George Rentz family.

But she wasn’t, for instance, a petty pilfsnw .iwtaae .belongings could be examined by Edith for evidences of theft—" Look, Regina, you think Lulu Casserly's honest, look what 1 found in her room.” No, it was nothing like that. At the end of half an hour McKee and Fernandez got up. The New York medical examiner was in the corridor and McKee was standing in the doorway when he turned' and asked the final question. “You’re sure that you were drunk that night, the night before , you were to have been married, at j that dinner for you here—that you got drunk at the dinner, during the course of it?” Andrus stared. He said flatly, “1 was polluted, I pulled a complete blank, or almost, on that bottle of whiskey.” The Scotsman nodded. "Yes. But I’ve been wondering whether you were responsible, whether you couldn’t have been drugged.” And on that, without further comment or elaboration, McKee went in search of Todhunter. • • • “ Drugged! It was a new and astounding thought. Andrus took it in with him to dinner in the dining room. Why should anyone have drugged him? So that he couldn’t turn up in the morning ? Incredible. Drugs were too tricky a medium. You couldn’t count on any long range effect. Halfway through his dinner for which he had no appetite, he became aware that he was under observation. A man at a table 15 feet away was watching him. He was a big man, handsome in a lush sort of way. He had thinning dark hair and features that would have been good except for the overlay of fat. Age around 40. Andrus finished his meal and ordered coffee. The coffee came, but he didn’t drink it. The fellow who had been watching him got up, put on a big camel’s hair overcoat and went out. Something about his bulk was familiar . . . Andrus had seen him recently in a peculiar circumstance; he signed his check hastily, threw down a bill and got up. But by the time he reacted the outside door, his quarry had' vanished. •• • . Earlier that evening Susan Dwight found out who had written the letter that had frightened Regina. Barry had come up tor the express purpose of taking her to a big party at the Rankins. He said, “You promised and we can’t disappoint Muriel and Tom; it’s their wedding anniversary—and everything’s fine here now with Andrus out from under. Come bn, Sue.” But Susan wouldn’t She said she was too tired. “You go and make my apologies. Give the Rankins my love, and say I'll ring them.” (To Be Continued)
