THE FATAL FLAW The fatal flaw in "radical" Charles LaFollette's senatorial program is the fact that though he himself is his party s most merciless critic, he insists on keeping himself tied, politically, to the reactionaries. . The state organization-controlled county chairmen of his own district stayed away from the meeting at which he had -said he would announce his candidacy for the United States Senate. Does LaFollette' think he will have any better luck when it comes to getting delegates to the state convention? Leaders of his party have indeed Virtually "read him out of the party," because of his liberalism, his pro-labor record, -and the fact that, being liberal and pro-labor, he has voted with the Democrats on the latters' constructive program. Yet LaFollette, with an allegiance which certainly is not blind, but appears incongruous, tags along with them. . i ! -He did the same thing in the last election, when ClO-PAC, r.tho'ugh' enthusiastic over Mr. LaFollette's congressional record, was divided in its support of his re-election because he backed Dewey and the Republican reactionaries, against Franklin D. Roosevelt and the New Deal.

THEY HUNTED A SCAPEGOAT AND FOUND A SCAPE-ELEPHANT

iWinchell said it, and it's worth repeating:

" " "Joe Bishop, the Greenwich Village wag, notes that the Republicans are chagrined because the Pearl Harbor quiz, didn't make FDR the scapegoat. The fact, he says, showed a scape-elephant. "The various probes remind us of Will Rogers's taunt: 'Some of the investigators would look for bones in- animal crackers.' " Walter Winchell.

As clews collapsed and trails grew cold in the abduction and dismemerment of Suzanne Degnan, 6, a fiendish killing which horrified the nation and shocked Chicago into acute awareness of its increasing violent crimes, the police systematically rechecked neighbors of the Degnan family in the North Side Edgewater district for any possible leads.

He fingered the beads lovingly.

As that claw-like hand reached across the table toward his throat, William drew back, more in surprise than fear. Apparently no harm was meant. William's shirt was " open at the throat and the stranger had seen the carved necklace he was wearing around his neck. He lifted it over William's head, took the necklace into his two hands and fingered it lovingly. "You know a good bit of work when you see it, boy," he said in a deep, rough voice. "New to the country?" "I've just landed, sir," said William. The man smiled. "Got work to do?" he asked. "No, sir," said William. "Good enough," said the stranger i "I'm a lumberman. JToii can join me if you like." -"You know nothing about me, sir," gasped William. "All I need to know. Here in New Zealand we ask few

I'll work you like hell and you rnst always be ready for trouble, for there'll be war between the natives and white men one day.

" - ' . .... They had been riding for days, mostly in silence, through forests deep and beautiful, yet terrifying. That evening Tai Haruru drew rein on the crest of a hill and dismounted.

"There's where you'll live, boy."

He pointed to a cluster of shacks close to a silver stream far down in the darkening valley. "There's where you'll live, boy," he said. "We fell the kauri trees only upon its fringes. The interior of the forest is a Maori stronghold a country within a country and it has its frontiers that a white man dare not pass, yet I've lived in that country for ten of the twenty years I've been here. I'm from Cumberland, England, and why I came here you needn't know." . He puffed long on his pipe, then he pointed to the settlement again. "You'll find men after your own heart down there. Eat, drink and be merry, is their motto, and it's only Tai Haruru who remembers that tomorrow we die." They mounted and William rode toward' his future with trepidation. . (Continued tomorrow)
