Her two sons, aged five and eight, are her good reasons. The Witnet Spike Jones is telling about the obnoxious doll who inherited a fortune, purchased a yacht, and took a large group off on a cruise. Resenting something said by one of her guests, she snapped: "Remember I'm the one who's paying for all this." "I know," yawned the offender. "Otherwise YOU never would have been Invited."

Shayne shipped rowing to call loudly: "What's the trouble?" At that moment a brilliant searchlight lit up the scene from the roadway above and an authoritative voice called" down gruffly, "Come back up here, all of you. Got to start moving your cars out of the way to make room foe a winch truck.

Any nf you know anything, we'll take your statements up here." "I've got a rowboat," Shnyne shouted up at the glaring light. "Want me to stand by here ta help you locate the ear?" "Qood idea." A uniformed man came sliding down. He stood stock-still and stared with open-mouthed astonishment at the redhead and his secretary sitting in the boat under the bright light from above. "Michael Shayne! What are you doing here?" "Offering to help you locate the car that went over," Shayne snapped. "Hello yourself.

"Row out from shore a little and try an oar to see if you find anything. Wrecker'll be here in a minute with grappling hooks." "You step out, Lucy," said Shayne quietly. She reached the safety island between east and westbound traffic, and paused to catch her breath when a man hurried up behind her and caught her arm tightly. She whirled about to see Timothy Rourke's grimly elongated countenance. "Where'a Mike? Did it happen to the man we wanted?" Lucy nodded mutely to the last question, wilted suddenly in Rourke's arms and sobbed.

(To Be Continued) She shuddered at the thought and tried to thrust it into the back of her mind. On the Causeway above her, she could hear cars stopping now, shouts and excited voices as occupants leaped out and converged at the point where the sedan had gone over. At the same moment, she heard a second sound. From out on the surface of the bay to her right. The loud splashing of oars, and then the low voice of Michael Shayne calling urgently, "Lucy! Are you there, Lucy?" She scrambled to her feet and saw him plainly.

Bending his back into powerful oar-strokes that was driving a light skirt toward the shore 20 feet ahead of her. "Here, Michael." The prow of the rowboat came In fast to ram against the sand directly in front of her just as the beams of two flashlights flashed down over the side of the embankment ahead of them and men began sliding down to the point where the gray sedan had gone under. "In here quick, Lucy," Shayne ordered, standing and stretching out his hand to take hers. The moment she stepped inside, he shoved oft hard and swung the prow about to row toward the excited group at the foot of the embankment ahead. a HE spoke low and urgently "Sit quiet and let me do the talking.

We've been for a midnight row. 1 know the man went over the edge and is probably drowned. Tell me just this. Did everything go as planned? Anyone see you before the accident? Anything to hook you up with it?" "1 don't think so. There were no cars close when he pulled up.

There was a loud explosion and then suddenly the car went over." TTASHINGTON (NEA) One of the significant surprises in the new Ford Motor Co -United Auto Workers agreement is that it contains no provision for an increase in the basic hourly wage The only clauses directly affecting pay checks provide for an Increased annual improvement factor, triple pay for holidays and raise for certarn skilled workers Everything else is in liberalized pensions, more Insurance, more vacations and increased unemployment insurance The argument may go on interminably as to whether Walter Reuther won a guaranteed annual wage, or just two-thirds of guaranteed semiannual wage But at least he got his foot in the door to establish a principle. The importance of fringe benefits in preference to any straight hourly wage increase also was noticeable in the new agreement just made by the Louisville Nashville Railway with its 25,009 nonoperating employes Under this contract the company will pay the full cost of iH hospital, surgical and medical expenses. THIS TREND in 1955 labor negotiations calls for a fresh look at the social responsibility of management to its employes. Some employers feel that management has no such responsibility "The first responsibility of management is to provide goods and services." says Frank Rising, general manager of the Automotive Paris Manufacturers Association. Members of his organization must soon begin bargaining with the Auto Workers on new contracts for which the Ford agreement is expected to set a pattern Rising admits that it is to the employers' advantage to have stable employment But he considers stable employment a secondary function of management, "because consumers offer no guarantee of liability for the employers." William B.

Given, Chairman of the American Brake Shoe declared in the Bernays Foundation lectures on the bility of management, at New York University: "Old school business managers felt that everyone who worked for them was in their debt. Some even felt that the pay check was at least in part charity "NOW," SAID GIVEN, "we know that the opposite is true. Every company has a long-term debt to those who contribute to its success. Managers who are not realistic about this do not belong in today' management." Thomas B. McCabe, president of Scott Paper Co.

and former Chaii-man of the Federal Reserve Board, declared in accepting the Philadelphia Chamber of Commerce Award in April. "We have made great strides in research in the physical sciences, but we have failed to turn the same revealing light on the basie components of human behavior." THE PRIMARY social requirement for this, says McCabe. Is foi development of mutual confidence between labor and management. "Economic statesmanship of the highest order will be necessary, he says. "We will no longer be able to indulge either in the recalcitrant manager or the demagogic labor leader." That puts another angle on this question.

While both sides have been increasingly aware of their social responsibilities, there is still much room for improvement. If the future trend is towards an increasing social responsibility by management for its employes, it should of course be accompanied by increasing responsibility on the part of labor in protecting property which they insist must provide them with a stabilized income XVIt LUCY had realized, from what Michael told her when handing her the package, that it contained some sort of bomb or explosive apparatus instead of He had warned her explicitly against pulling the srnall knob protruding from the side until the instant, it left her hands, and had emphasized the fart that she must immediately fling herself over the edge of the Cause-fway after releasing it. But there were two things Shayne hadn't been able to take account while planning how to entrap the man. He hadn't known the driver of the ear would accelerate so fast the the bomb landed, or (even 'if he did and thus lost control of the speeding vehicle when the explosion occurred seconds later) that the accident would occur at a point where there was no guard fence along the edge to hold the car on the roadway. So Lucy knew miserably that had failed in her mission as crouched in the soft sand 30 feet below the roadway.

The gray sedan had sunk without a trace in the deep ship channel of the bay which paralleled the Causeway here, and there didn't appear the slightest chance that the driver could be rescued alive. So, for the second time this same evening, a man who might be a murderer and who certainly had some guilty knowledge of murder had died through some fault of hers before he could be questioned. Hal Teary, 'Gilrlcrslcevp who created radio's 1 is switrhing from ences. And, thankiuny, me free of the loud recriminations which too often have marked such disputes in the past. As for the agreement itself, it represents a ponn-lne compromise.

The FAW oripinally sought a plan that would assure workers their full wage throughout the rear. The company's initial proposal did not Contain nnv concession to the gnaranice principle. Later the union reduced its demands to a request for a guarantee that, would give the workers SO percent of their regular wage during lay-off periods. Ford responded with new plan of its own. It proposed to create a "i million dollar reserve fund.

this, payments would he made to workers over 4 period of 26 weeks of idleness, in combination with existing unemployment compensation, these would amount to from 60 to 65 per cent of their normal take-home pay. At first the union rejected this plan. Rut after some haggling over dotniN. especially of its application to different regions, the UAW accepted it and that, became the basis of the settlement. Whether you call it a partially guaranteed annual wage or simply a supplement to unemployment benefits doesn't really matter.

In fact it would seem be both. The iinpiirtant thing is. union and company agree on wider responsibility for the worker in times of stress. It will now be widely assumed that this accord "will set a pattern not only for the motor industry but for many other industries as welb Likely this will be bo. But it should be apparent that the cost of such plans will make them altogether too burdensome for some industries, particularly those now suffering ome distress, like coal and textiles.

Thus, insofar as this new principle of protection is applied, it would seem to presage the growth of a privileged worker class in the large industries with Jbealthy reserves. comedy to menace.
