2, EXPECT BATTLE IN PHILADELPHIA HarrlsbUrg, Jan. The political soptllght In Pennsylvania's municipal elections this year will center on Philadelphia, which elects Us mayor, with the parties running neck-and-neck In that once Republican stronghold. Ono state-wide office will be at of tho state Superior some county officials, Including Judges will bo, elected In each of tho 67 counties. The lists also arc open for local option referenda on retail sale of liquor and beet', Sunday movies and Sunday sports, but those desiring tho vote must take the Initiative by circulating and filing petitions.

2. Philadelphia's voters will elect a successor to acting Mayor Bernard Samuel, who has been serving since tho death of Mayor Robert E. Lam- bcrton In 1941. Democrats, encouraged by the close vote for stato officials at tho 1342 election there, are planning an ag- gresslvo tight for the mayoralty which has been held by Republicans alnco 1012, when Rudolph Blankcn- burg was elected mayor on a fusion ticket with the help of Democrats. In 1942, Governor Martin carried Philadelphia by a bare 157 vole, receiving 317,962 as against 317,805 for Auditor Clair Ross, the Democratic nominee.

However, Republicans still hold a big edge In registration In tho commonwealth's first city. Tho registration as of Dec. 1, 1942, was Republicans, 588,798, and Democrats, 401,689. The Superior Court election was mado necessary by tho death of Judge J. E.

Reno, of Lohlgh County, who is expected to be tho Republican candidate for a full 10-year term for the $18,000 poost In addition to Philadelphia, mayors will bo elected in 27 third class BY JOHN DICKSON CARR 1 YESTERDAY: Hugh finally blurts out his love for Brenda and suddenly, on impulse, takes her in his" arms and kisses her.

When he glances up he sees Frank Dorrance watching them amusedly through the window. Chapter Three NDER, one arm Frank carried a racket in its press; in his other hand he swung a small network bag of tennis-balls. "Bit warm for that sort of thing, isn't' it, old boy?" he whooped with laughter. Frank Dorrance was young- looking even for his twenty-two years. His fair hair curled closely to his head; he had one of thosa high-coloured, delicate-featured faces which contrive to be handsome without being effeminate.

He was of medium height, slight, and immaculate; his blue-and- whlte scarf was knotted round his neck and thrust into the opening of a brown sports coat; even his white flannels were of an arrogant fashionableness. "You find something funny?" Hugh managed to say. "You, old boy," said Frank critically. "Making such an ass of. yourself with old Brenda, I say, you did look silly." He was, in fact, the only un- most, for he liked Kilty.

She was a widow in her early thirties; a lively, bustling, sympathetic sort whose manners contrasted with her rather sombre Spanish looks. Kitty almost plunged in through the window. "Hello, everybody," said Kitty, flashing white teeth. "Frank, you young imp, you went away without that book after, all. I expressly put it out on my hall table for you, and you forgot it.

Everybody having a good Frank guffawed again. E'S a young villain," observed Kitty, covering what she might have felt by looking indulgently at Frank. "Don't pay any attention to him. I'd just bought that book myself, and he begged it off me, and then went away and forgot it. Did you ever? What glorious tennis weather, anyway! Ready to give us a trouncing, Hugh?" "Tell me one thing," Hugh said abruptly, and turned to Frank.

"Do you always get your own way, whatever you happen to want?" Frank grinned. "Nearly always." "As a matter of academic interest, would you mind telling me how?" "I use my natural charm, old boy. Why should I deny that I have natural charm? I have, and there it is. But I'll tell you. When FLYNN DENIES CHARGES AT SENATE CROUP HEARING Edward J.

Y. 'SIZES 3Q-SZ OTTER CREEK 'He's from Scotland Yard," said Brenda. ruffled person present, swinging the net of tennis-balls over his hand, and swinging it back again idly. "Oh, I don't mind," he added coolly. let it happen too often, old boy, or I should be compelled to take offence." And he whooped with laughter again.

Hugh tried' to be casual. "We'd better have this out. I've just been asking Brenda "To marry you. Yes, I know." "You were listening?" "Stuff! Why beat about the bush?" asked Frank, unperturbed. "Of course I was taking in what I could.

But, you see, you can't have her." "Why not?" "Because I want her," said Frank agreeably. "That seems to you to be a good enough reason, does it?" "Well, ask old Brenda herself. You popped the question. What did she say?" "I said no," interposed Brenda, and went across to sit down on the arm of Frank's chair. INSIDE Hugh crept a small ish feeling which gradually spread until he wondered whether he could face this out.

"I see," he said. the emotional temperature of the room went up several degrees, 'Then that't all right," declared Frank, not unkindly. He grew brisk and affable again. "So, while we all know where we stand, let's go down to the court ana get in a set before the storm comes on. Brenda and I will play you and Kitty." Sitting up straight, he craned round towards the windows.

"It's all right, Kitty. You can come in now." To Hugh it seemed that half the neighbourhood must have been outside those windows. But he njinded Kitty Bancroft less than' I was a kid, I tried my natural charm. If that failed, I used to lie on the floor and kick and yell until I got what I wanted. Now that I'm older the technique is a little different; more subtle, you know: but the principle's the same." "Didn't you ever get walloped?" "Oh, yes.

But that only made me worse, so they gave it Don't you like the idea?" "The idea makes me sick." "Stuff! Why pretend?" grinned Frank, "The fact is, you're not clever enough to manage it. You're one of those people who like a quiet life. You would do nearly anything to avoid trouble and embarrassment. Now, I love trouble and embarrassment; I thrive on 'em. So I can still hold out longer than anybody else, and I still get my own way.

Simple, isn't it? As Nick would His eyes narrowed. "By the way, where is Nick? Why didn't he come down to tea?" It was Brenda who spoke. "He couldn't, Frank. A police- officer came to see and they're still in Nick's study." A puff of warmer wind shook the foliage in the garden, making it rustle, and crept in round their ankles. If Hugh had been less preoccupied, he would have noticed the slight raising of Frank's eyebrows.

"A police-officer, old girl?" he repeated. "Oh! About Nick's motor-smash, I suppose?" "I don't think so." "Why don't you think so, old girl?" "Because I saw his card when Maria took it in," answered, Brenda.

Pittsburgh Drivers Lift Store Embargo Pittsburgh, Jan. 26 Delivery of quart bottles of milk to 3,000 Allegheny County stores was resumed today, ending a two-week embargo imposed by drivers in protest against a State Milk Control Commission ruling which established a half-cent differential between store and home sales quarts. The drivers' union (AFL) made Its decision after the federal government ordered delivery ot pints and half-pints stopped Feb. 1. This, without the quarts which the drivers refused to deliver to 'stores, would have left the stores with no milk at all to sell.

The drivers had continued to deliver pints and half- pints. Harry A. T. Jevls, business representative of tho union, said, "we don't want to work a hardship on the consumer buying at stores." i The union, he added, is "petitioning the Milk Control Commission to reconsider its present order setting a price of 15 cents at the store and cents to homes." The union claimed the differential would cause hundreds of milk truck drivers to lose their jobs Roundhouse Quarrel Leads to Murder Charge Tcnvanda, Jnn.
