EAR BENT TO POLITICAL WINDS Evidence is pretty strong that Mr Tru man crossed up some people when he ve toed the Kerr bill to exempt independent natural gas producers from regulation by the ederal Power commission Informed quarters say that the version of the bill adopted in Congress not only had the endorsement it was put into acceptable shape at the White House The indications were plain ac cording to these sources that Mr Truman would sign such a measure General belief around the capital is that the President yielded to tremendous pres sure brought by groups who feared the bill means higher gas rates to consumers The sponsors including a lot of staunch Democrats upon whom Mr Tru man must count on for support must cer tainly be angry at this turn of events But the consumer who possibly stood to suffer from this bill is little concerned with their wrath undoubtedly thankful that men who understand how sensitive the President is to political winds stirred up enough breeze to convince him a veto was wise RUSSIAN STYLE SPRING EVER Reports from Europe indicate the So viets are flexing their muscles along the eastern front of the cold war These power moves come at a time when Russian relations are at boiling point over the vic ious attack on the Navy patrol plane over the Baltic area Nobody can say why the Russians pick this particular time to intensify the cold war The Senate is considering the $3336 450000 foreign aid bill If it is passed the Russians can claim a good bit of the credit Do the Russians think they can scare us into spending money to the point of going broke to contain Communism? Or is it pos sible that the master strategists in the Pol itburo are off on their timing?

basis of military service and he must be consid ered for jobs held by employes who do not have veteran prefer ence If no job is available within the locality the dismissed man may ask to be considered for jobs in the agency at other localities which are held by temporary employes But suppose he find any job in the agency Then This is what the priority means: he gets the call for another job over some newcomer looking for a job in the agency he left that is for any job the dismissed man can fill But something more: a permanent but dismissed govern ment worker is eligible for rein statement to

COP NtA SERVICE IftCT MO AT IRST STAR By Mary Howard AP Nawsf eafurM Chapter 1J A NDREW wakened early next morning from a restless dream in which jugged hare weighed upon his stomach He washed and dressed bending his tall head and swearing a little as he avoided the sloping ceiling packed his bag went down into the kitchen and made himself some coffee and lit a cigarette He swung out of the main road into the little incline to the sta tion Along the fruit lined valley the train was whistling a mile away William was walking' in front of him wearing a brown suit of a light summer tweed the immaculate cream colored shirt that Katherine had ironed for him and a red Paisley tie He car ried his soft dark felt hat and swung along in the morning sun light with his athletic graceful walk light as a cat wary as a panther 5 Andrew was conscious of a sud den murderous anger The thought of a journey down to London with William Brody was suddenly more than he could bear He hid in the waiting room until the train came in but as he leaned back in his carriage he knew he would see William again before the day was out It was precisely four when William went into Sydney office Sidney believed as few London office people do in show so William stood on the sage green carpet among a lot of impressive but phony Chinese pottery conscious of the glances of the telephonist and reception girl It was flattering because at this sort of agency they must be used to a considerable amount of good looks both male and female So he stood there completely conscious of their adulation but accepting it with the casual rather princely good temper that An drew found so infuriating A a office was comfort able and arty in a self conscious way The Hamlyns were there ather Hamlyn immaculate and imperturbable was a watching listening machine saying little taking everything in The only thing he did not watch Andrew thought irritably was his daugh ter and probably she would bite him if he did He listened like a suspicious Buddha while Andrew told them of his week end the arrangements he had made for their comfort and amusement at Broadweir although he had ter rifying presentiments about any meeting between Morton and Arthur Hamlyn He told them cautiously that Sydney Blount was now acting for William Bro dy and a bleak smile of congrat ulations appeared on face quick work' Nolan! Maybe get you working for me one day But we have to see this kid you know sold on him and so apparently are you but got to see him work We want just a hand some face with no intelligence be hind it for this Magda stirred and said slowly tell me he is most intelli gent as though she were contemplating buying a pedigree dog HIS office phone rang and the receptionist told him with bated breath that Mr William Brody was waiting the hall Her tone suggested that she should have been warned about this Andrew rose he said thought he tnight'fcome in as I knew he was in town today Would you care to meet him Mr Hamlyn opened his mouth but Magda said that would be wonderful Mr and Andrew caught again that glint of wicked child mischief that took the edge off her tiger power' He went out into the hall and found William looking at the pic tures bored and graceful His face lit with pleasure when he saw Andrew cr i Nolan I brought the letter that you asked me for last night I thought I might as well as I was in Nolan! This unknown young ster because he was potential star material had been taken up by the most successful agent in town Well known actors would have given their ears for the op portunity But not our William thought Andrew with an incred ulous sort of pride calls me Nolan as though I were the door man and Sydney and I and the whole office were his employees his mind added because he was honest probably quite 7' true If he clicks with Hamlyn' all probably be working for him from now on And click all He affected the same type of su perior graciousness amused at himself for doing it you called As a matter of fact Mr Hamlyn and his daughter are in my office now like to have you come in and meet He led the way to his office He heard himself (making the formal introductions and stood back mentally watching the general effect William gave Magda a little smile ingeniously frank and ad miring with a touch of shyness that was admirable Almost as subtle as dog thought Andrew William turned to Mr Hamlyn and extended his hand and Mr Hamlyn rose sharply to his feet as though he were being presented at court tThis is awfully said Wil liam He looked very young and charming It was most completely studied One look at Magda Hamlyn had told him that a swift and sincere hom age was the best line of approach to that royal beauty Mr Hamlyn regarded William with intense suspicion ne Knew this was what he was looking for but he also knew that if anyone could put anything over on anyone it was this young man If Magda took him up it was going to cost every one including World Wide a pretty penny and it was quite obvious toi Mr Hamlyn that Magda was going to do just that (Ta be continued) 4 vs.
