MURRAY HILL RECOGNIZES 1USIC PRINCIPLE FOR FULL EMPLOYMENT
A Senate committee headed by Sen. Murray has worked out a bill for introduction in Congress which is based on a realistic approach to the prpblem of providing 0)0,000,000 jobs after the war. Plarmi !).! for a 60,000,000 job economy has been confined, heretofoie, to public works. According' to one prominent school of thought public works and private-enterprise unaided can turn the trick. The Murray bill recognizes that "full employment can lie translated into reality only through the joint action of the people of our country business, kibor, agriculture and all other groups acting through the medium of their government." The kernel of the bill is a proposed nationnl production and employment budget. An output of goods "and services of abuit $ 190.000,000 after, the war will be required to insure lull employment. If private investment lags behind the figir e necessary to produce this income the government, under the bill, would supply the deficiency. Tlicje will be no difficulty in ascertaining the gross production required to provide full employment, hut tiie allocation of manpower and" output uuot'is among various industries is where the knotty problem lies. . The. bill specifically states that theve shall be no compulsion mi the distribution of manpower. Apparently no provision is made for output allotments such as guide industries in war production. Unless some scheme is devised for directing output the nation might find itself with too much of one
riii.ss ot goods and not enough of another. ' With government financing as a stimulant and without price controls it might be impossible moreover for consumers to absorb the output. Underconsumption resulting from overpriced yowls is one of the greatest obstacles to an economy of abundance. Over-production is the cover-up word of 'economic royalists when the cisreirate of taws tmA full
-Wwn .Uit. aggregate- of high priced goods. This n at ion never has experienced ;i ilenvcmn :k 'fho
result of over-production. At any rate, the bill is an interesting start toward i reahst-c solution of the problem of providing iO,00'o,000 jobs H recognizes the principles of planning on a national scute with the co-operation of all economic groups. This is the basic principle essential .to Jul! employment of the nation's b'bor and resources.

r .. CHAPTER TWENTY' " , Maud was there, too, little and indomitable in sweeping black with her pompadour rising high above her narrow, sallow forehead, her collar of boned white net lifting her little dark chin in the air, and her eyes brooding and angry, watching the 'police, watching Nicky and Alexia watching even me, fixedly. I don't think a move or a look or a quickened pulse escaped her eager, antlike eyes. Dr. Claud Chivery wasn't there. Then I saw Drue sitting in a tall armchair, her hands around the arm of it, her white cap like a crown upon her shining hair. She was pale; her dark gray eyes had a kind of terrified stillness. I thought she tried to communicate with me, mutely, with her look, and 1 tried, mutely, to remind her -of danger, and in the same fractional glance that t was on her side. Then I felt that somebody was watching us and turned. . It was Lieutenant Nugent, his eyes narrow and thoughtful, more green than gray which was, as a matter of fact, a had sign. lie said. "Sit down, please, Nurse Keate. The District Attorney, Mr. Super, wants to question you." 1 sat down, and the long questioning began for me. It began badly and ended badly. The first thing Soper said was a fiat, bald Statement to the effect that they had found enough digitalis in Conrad Brent's blood stream to kill him, and they believed it was murder. From there, they went on to that inevitable conclusion. I told them exactly what I had already told Lieutenant Nugent, no more, no less. They questioned Maud and Nicky and Alexia; they sent for and questioned Peter Huber: thev questioned everybody. Gradually the story built itself up much of it by confirmation, for it was obvious that they had already done considerable, less public, ques tioning. . Conrad Brent had spent the pre vious dav about as other days were spent, except for his anxiety about his son, two or three morning visits to Craig s room and a talU with Ur. Chiverv. This (according to Maud) was entirely about Craig's condition. The Lieutenant already knew that Conrad had had an interview in his study with me and then with Drue. after otir arrival. I was questioned again about that almost immediately. It was about his son, I told them firmly, and that was all. There was a speculative look in Nicky's eyes as he turned to look at me, and Maud said abruptly, "Thjjt isn't all. Lieutenant. Don't forgrtt that Conrad was furious because Drue Cable came here, and told her she had to leave. She was to go this morning.. She " "Yes, you told me that." cut in Nugent. Drue's lips parted a little and she leaned forward as if to speak, but Nugent did not permit her to do so. "Now, then," he said briskly, "there were no callers yesterday except Dr. Chivery and myself. What about dinner?" I couldn't tell whether or not they had yet questioned Drue. It seemed logical that they had, but somehow I thought they had not. I listened anxiously. Dinner had been at the usual hour. Nicky, Peter, Alexia, and the semester taking the Red Cross course in nutrition, which iiiclude.s a study of the body's needs and requirements, meal planning, and the importance of vitamins and minerals in the diet.

Maud and of course Conrad had dined together. Drue was there,
too, said Maud, but the other nurse (her eager black eyes went to me) was on duty so a tray was sent up to her. But nothing happened at dinner; no one talked much; all of them ate the same food. So he couldn't have been poisoned then. The evening had been passed much as usual. They had played bridge, Conrad, Maud, Alexia and Peter Nicky had read and watched. During the game there had been the usual talk of current news, the war, affairs at home; sometime during the game (no one remembered the time) Conrad had sent Alexia to get the clipping; the box of medicine had been in the desk drawer then. At about eleven they had stopped playing. Conrad had gone for his walk, the others had gone to bed. Dr. Chivery had stopped shortly after eleven (Maud told this, too; she was altogether more eagerly in formative tiian anyone else) ; he had gone to the room she always occupied when she stayed as she so often did at the Brent house, but he had not remained for long. He had walked to the Chivery cottage. "There's a path, a short-cut," said Maud, and Nugent nodded. "He told us he didn't see Brent?" said Soper to Nugent who nodded agaiu. So 1 knew they had already questioned Dr. Chivery. Usually Conrad returned from his walk in about forty-live minutes; he walked very slowly, so probably he had not taken a really long walk. His coat, stick, and hat were in their usual place in the closet off the hall. His dinner-jacket hung there, too, and he had put on a lounge coat and, apparently, gone directly into the library. "He liked to rest a little before going upstairs," said Beeyens. "He had a nightcap or smoked a cigarette or two as a rule and then went to bed. He never wanted me to wait up' for him; he locked the front door himself." Nightcap. Brandy? Well, they had taken away the decanter; they would know U there was poison in it. Nicky then created a small sen sation by saying abruptly that he had seen Conrad return. "I was here in this room. I saw Conrad icome in, lock the door, remove his coat and hat and put on his lounge coat. . . "Xicky!" cried Alexia twisting around to look up at him. District Attorney Soper asked, "But look here, Mr. Senour, why didn't you tell us?" "I didn't think it was important," replied 'Nicky. "That's aU there is to it, you see. He didn't see me. I was sitting over there by the fire, reading. He went into the library and after a while I went upstairs. That s all. ' Drue was looking at him steadilv "Are you sure that's all!" pressed .Nugent. Did anyone you, for in stance, go into the library?' There was m silence. . Nicky smiled and examined the fingernails on one slender hand "That's all," he said with a kind of silky stubbornness. Nugent looked thoughtfully at Nicky. Soper did the questioning, ins eyes suspicious, except when they rested upon Alexia, of whom he obviously approved and who did school, has been honored by tho State Board of Education by being chosen to serve on a curriculum committee to reorganize the state course of study in home economics. She has begun her work by interviewing all the grade school teachers of "the city to determine what and how much nutrition is being taught on grade school level here in the Sullivan schools.

EBERHAM err, .V". look, I must say, very lovely and helpless. Nicky leaned against the back of her chair in an ostentatiously protecting way, still -with the shadow of a smile on his lips, and Alexia sat perfectly still for the most part, answering only when she had to and that briefly, one leg crossed over the other and the toe of her pump making impatient little circles. After a while they sent for Peter Huber who came into the room and sat down not far from me. He had told Craig, I imagined, as much as could be told. He sighed a little, unconsciously, as he sat down, lighted a cigarette, and listened. As we all listened. Presently they' questioned him or rather recapitulated some earlier questioning. When he came downstairs he had found both nurses in the library, wa3 that right? Yes, that was right; he nodded. Why had he come downstairs at all? "I told you that. I'd dropped off to sleep, reading. I hadn't put up the windows or turned off the light ahd, when I awoke, the room was too warm. I put up the windows ami turned off the light and then I opened the door to the hall, thinking I'd get ah1 into the room more quickly that way." As he did it he heard a kind of scream from somewhere downstairs. He'd listened for a moment and as he was closing the door again I had run along the corridor and down the stairs. So he thought something was wrong, went back to get. a dressing gown and slippers, and had come down after me. "Mr. Huber,"-urged the District Attorney, "I want you to think back carefully; this is very important: When you came into the room, were the nurses either or both of them doing anything for Mr. Brent? I mean, definitely, . did either of them have a hypodermic syringe in her hand? Think back. ..." My heart came up in my throat. I didn't dare look at Drue. Then Peter said, positively, "No." "Are you sure?" "Absolutely. They were just standing there. We looked at him but he was dead. So Miss Keate sent Miss Cable back upstairs to Craig, and me to telephone. I didn't succeed in getting the doctor then. I couldn't find the number; I was upset. Anyway, all at once there was this sound of something falling. ..." "Yes, yes, you told us about that," said the District Attorney testiiv. "Something falling and the sound of a window breaking and we can't' find anything that fell and there is no window broken." He turned' to me. "Miss Keate, was there anything else? Anything that happened last night before the death of Mr. Brent that struck you as being well, out of the way ? Unusual." ' From the way he said it, I had a quick impression that he had asked everyone that. Maud looked rather scornful, and Alexia all but yawned. It was one of fate's dangerous little jokes that I would have answered in the negative (as 1 imagine everyone else had done) had not Delphine at that point slunk across the hall, with a wary green eye toward the trooper in the doorway.

Chemistry students, too, are burning the midnight oil getting ready to take a comprehensive, examination over the whole term's work. As is usually the case, those students who have prepared their daily assignments and not been absent too many times have little to worry about at examination time. i NEW VISUAL EDUCATION 1 The new visual education deMr. Fisher has increased in popularity as the students have shown their appreciation - of this new effective and pleasant way of learning. Movies have been shown daily either in the various classrooms on (heir individual snhiort mai ter or during the noon hour just for recreation. Visual aids other than movies and lantern slides are being added to the department. Wall charts, pictures, exhibits and working models are also being collected. Teachers have learned from the j speeded methods of the army training, programs to appeal to i the sense of sight in 'the learning processes. Students are looking forward to a forthcoming movie produced and narrated by Major Clark Gable called "Combat America"' which will be in technicolor.

The girl's will think you're mighty fine If you'll observe this rule, So come on boys and do your stuff. "Or do you want to be ;i mule?" The Blue Tri girls and the HiY boys are doing, what they can to bring about better manners at school on the part of students. This week they sponsored a movie on "Charm, Personality md Character" which was well received by the entire student body. Miss Coakley has contributed to the campaign by putting out nil the etiquette books with an amusing poster in the library.
