Page 6 JEFFERSON CITY POST-TRIBUNE Replaces Diplomat Involved In Treason Trial MOSCOW, May 6 A The government today announced ap- pointment of a new ambassador to Germany, replacing Dr. Constantino Youreneff, who was implicated in charges of treason by witnesses in the Moscow trial of two months ago. The new ambassador is A. T. Merekaloff, who has been vice I commissar of foreign trade since the shakcup of that department which followed the removal of A.

P. Rozengoltz as commissar. Rozengoltz was one of 18 executed as traitors after March trial, in which chief defendants were ex-Premier Alexis I. Rykoff and Nikolai Bucharin. Christian Rakovsky, one of three defendants in the March trial who received prison sentences instead of death, implicated Youreneff in his confession to treasonable dealings with Japanese officials.

STARK PURCHASES BIG MARION COUNTY FARM PALMYRA, May 6--(UP) --Gov. Lloyd C.

Stark, who was an apple fancier and orchard expert at Louisiana, before he entered the state house at Jefferson City, will undertake another agricultural venture on a 254-acre farm in Marion county.

At the lowest moment in wealthy, red-headed Cissy Rogers. She wants the same thing has ala-nys Chapter 26 Cissv Works Fast HEY sat on the low wooden steps that led to the kitchen.

Reuben offered Cissy a cigarette, lighted it. Lit one for himself. "Talk, Cissy. How's Clem?" "Dad's in Europe. He misses you Rube." "I miss him." "He thought you were a fool to come here in the first place.

A worse one to stick." "When he hears I can't even stick." The strip of back yard with its dingy board fence swayed crazily. "Do you mean--you and-Judith?" He avoided her eyes. "I've lost my job!" The back yard straightened itself. "There're other jobs. How bard have you looked?" Why try to tell her of the endless miles of walking, of the stacks of letters he had written, of the advertisements he had answered? "I've looked too hsrd." "Perhaps that's "Necessity makes beggars of us." "It never made one of you 7 Through a cloud of grey smoke she studied his harassed expression.

Could this be her eagle? "You're not the type to beg, Rube. You must challenge." "That day is over." In the excitement caused by Cissy's arrival Judith forgot about the letter to Gran until she was in bed. She was too tired to get up. Early in the morning, when she slipped down to draw a light cover over the sleeping twins, Judith found each fat little fist tightly closed over a crisp $20 bill. Humiliation stung her.

Cissy knew their dire need. Cissy had eaten the stew with its sparse pieces of meat! She dared--Then as she gently unfastened little fingers came sheer relief. Eighty dollars! Until this money was spent she would not have to write to Gran! "I found the money, Cissy," Judith greeted her guest when she came strolling into the kitchen. In Chinese pajamas of palest blue embroidered in gay butterflies, Cissy walked to the sink and turned on the water, "Is there any reason why I should not give Rube's kids a present?" "There wouldn't be, if we didn't aeed money so badly." "She has grit!" Cissy thought grudgingly. "Use the money and pay the youngsters back with interest when they're 21." "That's what I intend to do.

tvanted you to know." Cissy's coming made a difference In the little house. She knew, with satisfaction, that she pul Judith at a disadvantage. The way Cissy could take hold, do house- tvork, cook, clean--make it all appear astoundingly easy--was noth- jng less than a miracle. The savory pishes she could concoct out of a tnere nothing. 'Cissy Loves Reuben' effect of the new routine, or rather of Cissy, upon Reuben was amazing.

Catered to his every whim. Cissy was never cross, tired, started me on such a crazy line of thought? Cissy has no place in my life now, no place in Reuben's life." Each night, undressing in a small, sloperoofed front bedroom, Cissy promised herself: "I'll go tomorrow." When tomorrow came: "It's so hot today--I'll go tomorrow." She had moments when she despised herself. Moments of self justification too. "I've done him good--If he had never seen her-She doesn't love him--Her children fill her life --If I had a And then an idea popped into Cissy's head like a flower in full bloom--a flower so heady it made her dizzy. She did have a chance-a slim one maybe but worth trying.

Stupid not to have thought of It before. If Gary still held the old fascination--If it worked out-The following morning she went downstairs garbed for departure. "It's been glorious, darlings! I can hardly tear myself away." "Why do it?" Reuben hated to see her go. Hated to go back to the old hopelessness; the old lapses into silence and apology. "Stay until tomorrow anyhow." "Can't! I was due at the Curtis Ranch weeks ago." "Where is that?" Judith asked idly.

"Just about four hours ride up the Sierras," Cissy informed her and added casually. "It's only 20 miles from one of the Galbreath camps!" Judith caught her breath. The Galbreath might be work for.you there, Rube," Cissy said. "You know lumber." "A liability," Reuben said bitterly. "They took on a lot of green hands last month but turned me down." "That was last month." Cissy outlined her lips with geranium red.

"I'll nose in as I pass along and report to you." From the water pipe gate they waved her down the narrow street. KANSAS CITY, May 6-(UP)--Attorneys for the National Labor Relations Board today completed their case against the assembly branch of the Ford Motor company, on charges of unfair labor practices made by the United Automobile Workers of America. The hearing before trial examiner P. H. McNally has been in progress for nearly thro months.

The counsel for th Ford Motor company will begin presentation of the defense next. Wednesday. Paul Natchman, labor board attorney, said that 158 witnesses had appeared on the stand since the hearing began Feb. 14. 7 1 CANT THAT HE'S HAFF DEAD OM HIS HE COULD STAV HOME AMP STILL DRAW HIS BIG SALARY AMP HIS DIVIPENP CHECKS --THEY COULPy GET ALONG WITHOUT PER A WHILE; THAT'S WHAT HE'S AFRAID OR-- HOLPiN' A BIS JOB!

It was his fault. tnent wearing threadbare He spoke cheerfully: "When I get rny job--" or "Soon now I'll land tomething good!" i At night, when she put the children to bed, Judith left her husband and their guest playing checkers at the kitchen table, or talking about jmd whatnot. airplanes, lumber "He should have married her," Uudith thought with a curious detachment.

"They speak the same language. Learned about Life in the same school. Certainly she loved him the day his horse threw him The day his horse threw him! A flull pin scratched across the surface of Judith's heart. But for a fluke of chance Cissy would have fnarried Reuben, eventually. She would never have come to Goodloe's Choice.

Never have gone, col- prful and gay as a humming bird, through the dim old garden taking Gary with her. Useless to remind herself that Gary hadn't loved her, jthat she would still be waiting -Useless. Cissy had flown away with Gary then-- not because she loved him, but to show her power. Cissy had been the serpent to enter Judith's Eden, then. Now-Involuntarily her arm tightened He had brought her to this pass! In mid-afternoon the telegram came.

Reuben read it incredulous- y. Reread it. From the foot of the adder-like stairs he shouted: come running! Here's news!" He couldn't wait until she came down to him. His voice boomed up to her. He read: "Report immediately to Forest Base Number 2.

(Signed) Galbreath, Inc." "That rneans a job, Judy! Can you take it in?" She thought: "Cissy works fast." With a light hearledness that had not been his since the day the Lutie Justis failed he swept her into his arms. "You'll be wearing your emeralds again before you know it, Judy! Gosh! If you knew what it means to have a chance to work again!" Deliberately he refused to remember that Gary Brent would be his boss; that he would almost rather starve than work for him. If it wasn't for Judy and the kids-''I've haled all this," his gesture included the whole of Fordney's Gulch, "for you, Judy. You've been a brick--" He released her suddenly remembering, "I'll have to hustle around and raise cash somehow. It's not going to be easy." He rumpled his hair worriedly and looked so ludicrously like Judykin when she was getting ready to cry that the words were drawn from Judith against her own volition: "Cissy left S100." "Good old gratefully, "she thinks of everything." "She thinks of too much.

I hadn't meant to tell you. Meant to send it right back--" "We've got to take it. Judy. Don't feel so badly over it. Cissy'doesn't feel about that sort of thing as you do.

Back in Warder we used to pool our resources in an old tin can on a shelf back of the kitchen stove. Everyone put in or took out according to his needs and no questions asked." Whistling he dashed upstairs, got his pigskin bag from the bed and started to throw his things into it. Years fell from him. The somberness left his eyes, a twinkle usurped its place. He reminded Ju- ditiii of a small boy preparing for nis first circus.

And then he was kissing the children goodby, kissing her, ground her sleeping children. This was her world and Reuben's. They must keep it revolving, keep it Jafe! Reuben was hers whether she loved him or not-- he was hers. "Cissy loves Reuben!" It buzzed In Judith's drowsy head like a bee.
