Vf WASHINGTON. May jl. Al
though President Coolldke a as
.teen unable to study carefully the
'flan of Chairman O'Connor of the
hipping board to aid the Ameri
can merchant marine through gor
"trnment assistance in the payment
bt seamen's wages, he feels that
such measure would be warraat-
d only if necessary to provide an
Adequate naval reserve.
! If the O'Connor plan merely is
designed to help American " ship
owners meet labor costs, the ad
ministration must determine; In
the president's opinion, whether it
Ji willing to aid In payment of
seamen's wages any more than in
paying the wages of farm and fac
tory labor.
' f Convinced that the proposal
ijmmers down to one entirely of
benefit to, national defense, the
president, before, giving any en
couragement, to the scheme, would
want to get the views of the navy
department.'
Secretary Wilbur declared the
navy would be glad to consider
the O'Connor proposal but indi
cated that so many factors were
Involved in building up a naval
reserve that he could not express
d definite opinion on the merit of
the plan for some time.
I The department, he added, was
giving special attention to devel
opment of an adequate naval mer-
ihant fleet,. an Important, part In
aval defense, especially I in ' the
training of reservists.

went : on. j"Katle was stealing out
to meet a ?mab, but she only went
because ot the most deadly terror
a woman can' feel. And the 'man
she went to meet was the person
on earth she; : loathes mdst, the
man she has most cause to hate
and fear, f bu- who threatened to
kill you ahd me and my little lad
WhoCt; Kate loves so dearly if she
did; not get a certain paper for
him a paper containing' an im
portant government secret, which
he thought ! was hidden In .mf

"Yes, Jfim' I answered. "He

then found, out that he had a wife.
It was a merciful release for Ka

"I remember,' he said, and I
knew that Katie's humiliated an

In a few words I told him the
