-EXPERIENCE SINCE LAST WAR SHOWS : UNCLE SAM NEEDS A PRESS AGENT ; Debate begins soon on whether a peacetime press agent " is needed to tell other peoples that Americans as a whole .are ; jionest, . law abiding, progressive and willing fb fight to preserve certain decencies in the world. " Wartime mechanisms like the Olfiee of : War Information -and' the Office of Inter-American Affairs must be dissolved 3ix .months after the war. -But what kind of instrument, if any, will replace them to keep the peoples of the world in1 formed about America has neve- been resolved or adequately" - debated by the United States. It's considered a delicate and . explosive subject because the dirty word "propaganda" is - used instead of ."information" by those who feel the government should do nothing; that the business of informing other - peoples about America should be left to- the commercial press, motion pictures and bioadcastevs. This do-nothing policy was followed after the last war with the following results: American boys have died at the hands of fanatical Geiv mans who refused to surrender because they had been led to ; believe that we are a nation of gangsters. An American boy - will die today at the hands of a Japanese who has been led to , believe that Americans were too pacifist, and too parsimoni2 cus to f ijrJit -mother war. ' . The United States got no loot from the last war, but our -relations with the ' Fiench.,. British and other peoples of the ' world were undermined because Uncle Sam became Uncle Shylock in world opinion. ; : : I .The United States needs well-informed, healthy allies in Latin-America. Argentina Iris proved that anti -democratic I Activity anywhere in the Western . Hemisphere can cost Am- ' crican lives. But .until 1940 the United States government. had

., no agency to defend the attacks against. the "Yanquis." LatinAmericans we'-e told that we were imperialistic, .uncultured "and a threat to their liberty and independence, and that democracy was weak,, decadent and inefficient. More than a million people in Asia have only the' vaguest 'ideas .about de"moc'acy, self-government and western standards and decencies. But they are awakening and restive, and 'interested in whether: the greatest, benefits are-to be obtained "from communism, fascism or democracy. Fo" more than 40 '.'years the United States has built an excellent record in the Philippines as history goes in the Orient. This record is little -known. Mischievous forces will continue to work, even after .the defeat of Japan, to turn the Asiatic races against the -white races. These are. just ,i- few , of the -foreign, information problems which the American people , must face after Y-E -and -Y-J Day. The answers will ho crystalled in Washington, ms

appiupuauoiis mr miormation activuy come up tor review ,'t.his month. Every branch of government that touches the foreign field post office, aviation, communications, labor and commerce affects the foveign information policv directly or indirectly. - ' ' , ; Debate on the subject in the United, States boils down to whether American commercial enterprises which sell

lanio services and motion pictures to foreign peoples do an adequate job of presenting the American scene and the American people to foreign eyes. The results of the past 25 ears -indicate, that they have not. This raises the question of just .what, if anything, -the U. ,S. government should do. to fill in the gaps left by the commercial enterprises. '

CHAPTKK FORTY-ONE Affsrie asked old Mr. Waite where lack was ami got the usual, irritable response: "How should I know! In .his room, I guess." Aggie, took the staircase in agile, noiseless bounds. The floor above was carpeted. There was a transom aver the door of the end rooni, painted black to keep out the hall light. In the hall, on a small mahogany table, stood a vase of artifi;ini flowers. Aggie removed the vase :tnd carried the table to Jack's door. He V.lood up on it gingerly; his face jame level with the painted transom. He. moved his head until he fuiiud a crack in the paint and pressed his eye close. The partial view of Jack's room was adequate.- It was iu feverish disorder. Two bulging suitcases stood on the wimluwsill and another, nearly full, was on the bed. A revolver" lay on the bureau. 1 ; The professor restored' the table to its place and knocked on Jack's door. It sprang open. Browne stood tiicrc in a shirt, tie,.and gray slacks, with a fedora cocked on the back of ins iiead. When he saw that it was .Kgu ie, his fa.ee ..relaxed. - lie even smiled. "Something I can do?"' -. ; Aggie stepped toward him. "Take your hat oil'. Jack. You're not going n;iy where." ' " ' ' , " ' : ' " Browne backed into his1 room. "Yes, I "am! 'Downtown!. An errand." His voice rose. "Don't come in here!" - His muscles twitched as lie yielded ground twitched with the restrained will to grapple with Aggie. Professor Plum kept coming, in, and Jack kept backing until he

bumped against his bedstead.- Then,

he tried to turn. Aggie, one hand in the pocket of his jacket, said, "I wouldn't go for that revolver if I were you.'' , Jack sat down on the bed, his face shiny, his chest rose and' fell jerkily. 11 is eyes had a look of frantic speculation which subsided as Aggie' did nothing nior6 sinister than to push buck-some magazines on a deslt and sit on it. ' .-- t . " '. . , Jack said, "Why are you coming "in here like this? Suppose I awt netting out? I' can't stand this job uny more! I hate the people! The orders! And this summer has beer, too' 'm tich1 al ready f M y nerves are shot to pieces!" ' l . The professor continued to stare at him. He was now a little closer to the bureau than Jack. "The trap door," Aggie said, "is. in your office. You cut it yourself, I presume. And dag out the steps." -"-if Jack said, "Are you nuts? What trap door? What passage? My office? I've hardly been in) it all evening,'.' -i j ' ;,' Aggie'i'vCave. ty? lik that of a . judge, listening to testiinony whereby a prisoner was hanging himself. Jack blustered.' "I ' don't " know what you mean! Get out of here!" Aggie kept a hand in his jacket pocket. "Y'ou know I've got Hank." Jack said, "Hank who?" But he yas slow in saying it. . ,

Professor Plum shrugged and

swung his foot. "Everything pointed

to you "

Jack seemed to make some sense

of the discussion. "Oh Bogarty! You came here to accuse me of that!

Aggie, old man! You've known me

since I was a kid! You know that

I " He smiled with considerable

assurance. "Just because I took this

moment to decide to beat it! .You

ought to know me better. If you've

got something that'll scare the truth from somebody who is guilty of all

the horrible things around here

111 I'll do anything I can! Stay here, even. But you're barking up

the wrong tree.

Aggie sat still on the desk- save

for his foot which went on swing

ing. "Speaking of trees they had a lot to d with it. Two good-sized

ones chopped down o make that

deadfall to put Calder's body in. Two others that showed me how Dr.

Davis had been killed. A tree that

the broken phone , wire , dangled from. Some high-up scars in the

apple tree, convincing me the murderer had been here last winter.

You were here then. And it had to be somebody who was in the club a

lot. Somebody who could know about

the old Sachem House foundations.

Being here every winter you could explore them." . .."Anybody could i" " Yes. That bottle of hock. Somebodyfollowing me the night J was

down in the wine cellar and trying

to leave ahead of me in a hurry could have knocked it out of a bin. It could have landed standing up. You weren't down there that night? Y'ou didn't hear, hie going through the lobby and follow me and rush . back and change into pajamas?" ' ; " "Of course' not!' Beth- saw me when I came downstairs that night' ( . ' !' ; '-! "You didn't do it, then?"' "No kidding, Aggie !" i , "Funny. 1 thought you did. I thought Bogarty came in here with that fox in a cage. I thought he told you he'd left his calling card pinned on Sarah's door by his knife and I thought he got talking, about the old days and probably about his plans to get' some money. I thought he realized you were dose' to, everybody Jiere and'iet put something about the act that his old friends had a lot of gold he had mined for them. Hail it" hidden.' I thought you'd , dug- out the old secret exit during the winter just to relieve your boredom. I didn't know how you'd found it. And I thought that you were half crazed by the start of another season. A season of being ordered around and patronized by people" who 'were, still;. rich-while

you were poor, and your father wis a suicide, and your mother was dead." "' -l """ "You're wrong!" '; S-1' '.' "I thought hearing there was a cash deposit around here-a big one you went nuts, slugged Bogarty and hid him down below with the

idea of making him dis;-'r: ' '" dope about where the gin. I ..a-. 1 thought, when you got back up. y u saw Calder playing with that fo). in its cage. I thought he'd just .untied in here after leaving Sarah's hou.te to get a highball or something--" ' ""1 tell vou,, Aggie, if somebody did all this!" The professor waved his hrnd. "It was my impression it at Bogarty told you he hadn't yet seen anybody. But there was. Calder, fooling with the fox so Calder could report that Bogarty had reached the club. I supposed that Calder opened the cag to pet .the fox and it bit him and escaped. A dog 'the size of a fox' you said once. That was smart! Disarming. "I thought you hit Calder with something, too. Then as I figured it you turned out all the club lights and put Calder in Hank's car and carried him up on the lumber road. You had all night to build that deadfall and run that car into Upper Lake. But you found out Bogarty didn't know where the gold wasl And you couldn't turn him loose ! "I thought you watched the excitement about Calder's death and Bogarty's absence grow, honing one of the people who owned the gold would make a move to check it. Calder -was dead and Sarah had mumps. I presumed you'd kept close tabs on Dr. Davis and Waite. And I'd imagined Davis went down to his wine supply one day, maybe letting you know it and you followed him. That led you to the gold you probably watched him work the safe combination. Only . Davis has no wine down there any more. You realized that he could pot you as the thief, if, you moved whatever was in that safe. He knew you'd seen him go down to the cellar and he might reason that you, alone, could know he'd gone there w hen he had no wine. . "Maybe there was some other item but you knew Davis could spot you somehow, and you knew you .had to kill him. Y'ou, knew he' was already trying to work out who killed Calder because you'd no doubt followed him enough to see that he- was taking pictures of everything the deadfall especially and developing them in that darkroom. Y'ou had a knife like this one " . . Aggie's hand came out of his pocket. Browne flinched. A huntinir

knife landed lightly on the bed at his side. Jack picked it up. .

Plum went on talking. "I was

pretty sure it was you. That .veal bone on the cellar floor. I tWjiik'it slipped out of the fox cage wheVi vou

carried the cage to the furnace to- -

burn -it. There's my knife; it's' the same type as Hank's. Of courseall I've said is guessing. When Bogarty is able to talk we'll know,

oi course. ' (To be concluded) Toovrirht. 134.1. lirPhllin WvlUf
