Hughes erf Fort Wayne, former Speaker of the House, was one of the opponents of the Federal Aid program at a conference in Chicago, arguing that the states should raise and spend their own money for schools and avoid Federal regulation. President Eisenhower is one of the national leaders who have endorsed the Federal Aid to schools programs. We can see the benefits to the Republican state administration in getting its hands on additional tax funds in the way it spent Gov. Schricker’s balance in four years and mismanaged the toll road to make faithful party workers wealthy. We would doubt that additional school taxes would be spent more wisely by these same state leaders. —o—o—- — its program of curtailing credit among Americans, the administration has just borrowed a billion dollars to help Western allies in Europe caught in the pinch following the Suez Canal disaster. This will make credit even tighter in America and will not be appreciated by Europeans who blame the shifting policies of Secretary Dules in the Middle East as the cause of all thejr difficulties. No one seriously believes America will have a single additional friend after the billion is spent. Congress will be asked to waive a payment due the United States this month on its debt to us from England. It’s time a constructive program be devised. In fact it’s time any kind of a program be announced. '■ o o Last month for the first time ta about two years Americans paid more off on their automobile debts than they borrowed on new ones. This is either good or bad depending on whether you consider savings a virtue or a brake r on production. Car dealers, naturally, take a dim view of the situation. . J’ I .' II I "'■■■■■

A local problem is being met by the citizens who reside near Monroe in the agreement to purchase a fire truck which can make rural runs. The goal of approximately $12,000 has been approached. Now, residents in this area depend on fire service from Dechtur and Berne, which is still available. Supporters of the new fire service point out these trucks are several miles distant and a few minutes saved can often be the difference between saving or losing a farm building. As in any community project, support is not unanimous. but it is still America when civic leaders can propose and complete such a project on a voluntary basis. o —o—— This year a native of India was elected to Congress from California, and a 37 year old native of the same country has become the youngest president of Princeton University since 1761. Robert F. Goheen, a son of medical missionaries, brilliant educator and hero in World War 11, will replace Dr. Harold W. Dodds when he retires next June at the Ivy League institution. It's been nearly 2,000 years Since India contributed much to world civilization. The fundamentals of our language, religion and early science are believed to have originated in that Asiatic country which has progressed little since the birth of Christ, until the beginning of this century. India, because it holds the balance of power between the Communistic and free world, may replace the United States in coming months as the voice of freedom among the nations still under colonial governments. Her goal is to accomplish with mysticism what the United States is attempting to do with money. Whether India made a fatal error in the road to this leadership by attacking England and France for its atta?k on Egypt while remaining silent when Russia invaded Hungary, remains to be seen. At least educated persons born in or exposed to her culture are beginning to assume positions bf I 1 importance in this country and the world.

Boiling Jam Jam will not boil over, nor will skimming be necessary, if onefourth teaspoon of butter is added to the jam before boiling begins. Suede Slippers Rain spots will quickly disappear from suede slippers if dubbed with an emery board, such as is used for manicuring. Pies Add a little 1 salt to the gooseberry pie, and a tablespoonful of vinegar to the elderberry pie, to improve the glavors.

CHAPTER 28 ’ “AV THY ARE you so worried VV about that recording?” I asked Jack Walston. “You do have it?” «Yes,“ I said. “All you did was ask Anita to be your dancing partner in a night club act. Was there something else between you two? Why did she turn off the recorder when she did?” “I don't know.? “Did she expect you to make a pass at her?” “Probably. Anita expected every man to make a pass.” “She wasn’t disappointed very often. But you didn’t make a pass, so she couldn't blackmail you by threatening to queer you with Dottie. What was on that tape that she could use for blackmail?” “Why do you want to know?” “You said you were going to stop caring about that.” “Yeah,” he said. He blew a long, tired sigh into his cupped hand, then rubbed it al) over his crew cut "AU I want is that tape.” “TeU me about it and I . , . maybe I’ll give it to you.” He said slowly, “Are you thinking I might have killed Anita because she was blackmailing me?” — I shrugged; it wasn’t a very good shrug, but then they don’t make shrugs Uke they used to. “If I’m thinking bad thoughts about you,” I said, "prove to me I’m wrong. Go ahead.” He took another one of those breaths; this was a boy who liked KiT air. Then he exploded in a rush of words. “I love Dottie. I’m going to marry her. I want to make some money for the two of us, and not by being a damn dancing teacher.” “You want £o run a roadhouse.” “Yeah, that's for me. A combination of being in show business and living in the country. But it takes iponey to go into any business. A couple of months ago I finally got a chance at that money. Dottie's sister talked her husband into loaning it to me. It was a struggle. PhU . . . that's her husband ... he hated the _ idea, he stiff hates it He’s sensible. To him show business, night clubs, road houses ... no. But a butcher or a baker or run a little store like his. He thinks I'm a dopa” “Ahd,” I said, “you think he’s • dope. It’s there on the tape.” ' “That’s it Can you imagine ! how little old Phil would feel ■ about loaning me five thousand i dollars if he heard that tape? Whv. if Dottie’s sister heard it

even she wouldn’t be on my side anymore." "That’s how Anita was blackmailing you?” “It wasn’t for much, On ray salary I can t afford much blackmail. 1 suppose I was one of the lesser items on Anita's list. But she was a great believer that a buck here and a buck there amounts up.” The arrival of my eight o’clock pupil drove Jack Walston from my studio. But the ferocity of his farewell glance let me know that I owed him a certain amount of recording tape and that he’d be dropping around sometime soon to collect. My eight o’clock pupil felt the tension. He said if 1 was having any trouble wjth that fresh crumb, he'd be glad to do something about it for me. I thanked him for being a gentleman and a scholar, but declined his offer. I gave him a dancipg lesson. I gave another lesson after that, and then my day was done. Now I would surely have a chance to locate Steve. As I stepped from my studio, Hooray Rose stepped from hers. “I’m furious," Hooray Rose said pleasantly. "I’m so mad I could spit.” “Why, Hooray?” “Just look at this." She handed me, a small sheet of blue paper. It was a memorandum addressed to Miss HRose. It read: "That dress . . . need I say more?” It was initialled 0.8. I looked at the dress. 0.8. was justified. Hooray said, “I can see you agree with him.” “Well, yes,” I said. “I never realized,” Hooray said happily, "that this dress was so great Why, I was even considering giving it to the Salvation Army. . . .” “O.B.” I said. “O.B.” “What, Hester?” “O.B.” “Sure. Oliver Bell.” “Not Obie, Junior,” I said. "0.8., Junior.” “I beg your pardon, Hester?" “Does Mr. Bell have a son named Oliver?” “Not that I know of ” - “Then who is 0.8., Junior?” ] Hooray giggled. "That’s what ■ Anita used to caff Bob Spencer.” 1 “Bob Spencer?” “You met him. The teacher < that thinks he’s such a big shot" < “Yes, of course-” 1 “That’s why Anita called him < 0.8., Junior. To Hid him. He’s so important Always making like he owned the place, like he was a little Mr. Bed.” “Thanks, Hooray." “For what Hester?”

“Thank you very much." I traced Bob Spencer to the men’s locker room and prepared to ambush him outside its entrance. I stepped into the covering of a phone booth and was reminded at once of something I’d • wanted to do for hours. The phone in our apartment was answered immediately. Steve and I checked on each other’s health, then got down to busl- ~ ness. He reported first ’ He had not been able to locate Harriet Kroll or Mrs. Zeigler in any of the bars around 862 West Twenty-fifth Street. He had finally given up and gone back to wait outside the rooming house. About an hour ago the two ladies had come staggering home. He had been able to maxe them admit they were the ladies he wanted to see. That was all. They had both been too lushed up to be ’ any more coherent than that Tnere was nothing to do but give them the night to sleep it off. We would caff on them in the morning. I reversed the chronological order of my report. I told him first about Obie, Junior, who was none other than my friend, Bob Spencer. Then I told him about Jack Walston, his hopes and troubles. Then I got to my date with Wendell Kipp. "He isn’t married; Steve! His wife is just a protective character hedreamed up!” Steve didn’t react. “Don’t you understand?" “What?". “Well, Anita wasn’t blackmailing him. How could she?” "Yeah, I see. So Kipp’s not a suspect anymore. There wouldn’t have been any reason for him to murder her.” “That’s right,” I said. "Steve, I have to hang up. O. 8., Junior. Be home as soon as I can. Wait for me.” I stepped out of the phone booth practically into Bob Spencer’s arms. He was startled, then his face broke into a patronizing smile. The pale eyes behind the rimless glasses blinked recog ni-' tion. He all but patted me on the arm. He said, “Well, Hester!” “Yes. Bob, could I speak to you?” I was being confidential, personal and very urgent “Could I rspeak to you alone some place?” “Why, of course, glad to oblige. If the conference room is empty . . .” He chuckled. “What better place to’have a conference?” -V. Tomorrow; Detective Lieut Bolling comes back—in no mood for hospitality. “I’m going to wrap up this case now!* he aavs.
