CABINET APPOINTMENTS On May 22 an editorial "short" appeared in this column in which we said : To meet the preaent emergency President Roosevelt it said to have invited the 1936 Republican candidates, Landon and Knox to enter his cabinet as secretaries ol war and the navy, respectively. Naturally, in a jam such as the present Mr. Roosevelt would torn to a couple of good Republicans. For some reason the plan hung fire at the time but yester day it became a reality with the name of Henry .L. Stimson substituted for that of Mr. Landon. Politically this action by the president has interesting im plications. It must mean, for one thing, that Mr. Roosevelt does not intend to run for a third term for, as Mr. Landon has pointed out, these two Republicans would hardly ally them selves with an administration seeking to perpetuate itself in power in opposition to a fundamental belief of the party to which they belong. Each has been an outspoken critic of the New deal. Each, as with all of us, is ready to join fellow Americans in defense of the country. Neither can feel that coalition for defense requires the continued presence of Franklin D. Roosevelt in the president's office. Considered in connection with the recent appointment of the seven-member defense council the naming of these two sound Republicans is almost amusing. For years President Roosevelt castigated, criticized, condemned business but when the war emergency developed he called in leaders from some of the most important businesses in the country. Now, with the situation becoming more critical as each day passes, he turns to the opposition party for leadership in the army and the navy. The Stimson appointment is especially fitting. Mr. Stim son has had experience in both the state and the war depart ments. His ability is great, his record distinguished. Mr. Knox has never had cabinet position but his experience as a newspaper publisher has qualified him for this new service. Mr. Roosevelt is fortunate in having been able to persuade these men to join his cabinet. The country is fortunate in their willingness to serve. COMPULSORY TRAINING This newspaper stands with President Roosevelt in the plan for compulsory, universal government service. The crises of the future that this country faces will demand knowledge, training, discipline, organization, cooperation. The training of our youth that is proposed is essential to meet those crises. Opponents of the plan will argue that it is undemocratic, that it savors of Hitlerism and means another step toward the toss of our American liberties. Instead of being undemocratic fcuch universal service would be the essence of democracy. All eligible would be associated in a common cause without re-' gard to background, environment or standing. Under the plan we would be following the example of those European states that are even better democracies than our;. We approached It in trie world war draft but there we selected fighting men only. The president's outline of the prospective program shows it to cover a much wider field. With the experience of the selective draft and all the plan ning that we have been led to believe has been done one might suppose that all that was now necessary would be to turn to drawer A in cabinet one and pull out the plan. Mr. Roosevelt indicates otherwise. So be it But now the business is started let's get it going. Time is important.

John I tied m the front seat of the Weston Weston finally agrees to drive to Hollywood. First night out, Francie is surprised when a roadster drives up. And waving to her is Gusty! CHAPTER V Was Gusty really going to Holly wood? This Question crashed throush i Francies slumbers and sent her out mto the pink, clear morning before Aunt Hat was awake. She strolled along the boardwalk that led to the small restaurant can- nectrd with the cabin camp. Her ; ippeuic ana ner curiosity gnawea . simultaneously, enormously. As she entered the restaurant i familiar voice smote her ears. "Glu He stared at her. Francie, slim in j blue slacks, with a cherrv-red scarf over her amber hair, stared back. Color swept into her cheeks and her brown eyes flashed. "Well, well, so you're still follow ing me? Gusty said knidly. Tie? Following you?" Francie bit her lip. "I'd say it was just the other way around.'' Gusty winked at the waitress. "She loves me," he said, jerking his head toward Francie. The proper thing, Francie felt, would be to freeze him with a glance and depart But she couldn't do that. Not with simply dozens of questions buzzing through her head. She choked down her pride and icated herself at the counter. Gusty meanwhile was attacking a 'pair of enormous fried cakes. Fran cie, her appetite gone, made listless passes at her waffle. Gusty finally spoke: "Gonna listen to me broadcast Francie? Maybe I can get tickets so you can be in the audience." "1 happen to have some plans of mv own," Francies retorted. "Okay, don't be nasty about it" Francie put down her fork. "You're really going to try to get to Holly wood?" "Dam right," he declared. "You know, Saturday night after you tried to chisel " "I 1 didn't!" "All right you didn't. Anyhow, I got to thinking. 'Gusty,' I said to my self, 'you won't get another chance like this. What's a measly 15-a-weck job compared with the big time?" "Gusty! You you didn't quit your job?" "flight, Sugar. Just like that" "But you haven't enough money n . ." Frencie eyed Gusty's wrinkled slacks and polo shirt. "I'll bet you slept in the car." Sure, why not? Maybe I am a little light on the old do-re-mi, but I'll make it" Gusty slid off the stool and stood by Francie. "Come on. Sugar, don't be a sorehead. You tried to get the ticket. I was too smart for you. Let's forget about it and be friends. I got a forgiving nature." Francie gasped, but before she could retort her father and Aunt Hat entered. Aunt Hat ignored Gusty. Mr. Wcslon gave him a friendly clap on the shoulders. "Glad to see you, son. 1 suppose you'H be leaving us today?" "No, sir," Gusty grinned. "I'm not pouring the coal to the old bus. 1 kinda figure I'll stick close to you folks just in case you huve trouble or something. "Well, now, that's kind of you, Gusty," Mr. Weston said. "You see. I thought mayhe, if you don't need Francie to drive, she could ride with me today. We can meet you wherever you're going to stop."

She tilted her nose skyward as Gusty approached. "Come on. Sugar, get in a good car." "No, thank you!" "But it's no fun riding alone "Talk to yourself,'- Francie advised icily. "You seem to enjoy the sound of your own voice.' Gusty shrugged, moved reluctant ly away. "So long." With a sigh. Francie watched him go. It was awfully hard to be nasty witn uusty. the had to keep remmd ing herself of Ihe selfish wav he had acted about the ticket. . . . J With Frnrwa driving lrtv twin Gusty's old roadster behind. In the Dae seat Aunt Hat was curious about Gusty's presence. "Francie, dear, have you any idea why that boy should be going to Hol lywood?" Francie pretended to be occupied with the road. "It it's rust one of his crazy ideas, Aunt Hat." Mr. Weston said, "It's more than that if you ask me, Francie. The boy hasn't much money. He must be pretty sure that ticket's on the level." "But he hasn't" Aunt Hat drifted into silence. Francie could see her aunt's face in the rear view mirror. It was puck ered with thought. Tonight, she promised herself, she would tell Aunt Hat the truth. But what if there was still a chance of getting the ticket from Gusty? It was a wild, impos sible idea, yet she couldn't rid her self of it They saw no more of Gusty until noon when he pulled alongside of them at a roadside barbecue. Gusty was accompanied by a shabby man whom he proudly introduced as "Blubber." Blubber, a smart broad individual with a buttery complexion, had marble-round eyes that rolled shift- ily away from the directness of Mr.. Weston s gaze. "Glad to meet yousc," Blubber mumbled. "He's thumbing to Amarillo," Gus ty explained with a triumphant look in Francies direction. "And is he swell company!" "I can imagine," Aunt Hat said dryly. "He's a musician, too, aren't you. Blubber?" "Sure, kid. Let's eat" . "He's good on the old gHtar, all right," Gusty went on. "Tonight we're having a little jam session How about it, Blubber?" Blubber's rolling eyes came to res' on Aunt Hat's two-carat solitaire. H nodded dreamily. "Sure, kid, a jam session. Let's out " Gusty and Blubber moved to Ihe counter.

Francie, spoke in a whisper "Fran cie, I want to get Gusty away from that fellow without arousing his sus picion. In a few minutes you call him outside." "Bui. Pops, I don't" "Francie!" When John Weston used a certain tone, neither Francie nor Aunt Hat ever anrurd with him. A moment later Francie obeyed, and Gusty fol lowed her outside. "Decide to give yourself a break and be friends?" he asked. "I have not!" Francie retorted. "Pops wants to talk to you." John Weston stopped ostensibly to light his pipe. "Gusty. I hate to med dle, but I'd advise you to get nd of that fellow." "Blubber? Why, Mr Weston?" "I've been looking men over a long time, son. 1 won't say your friend's a crook, but he is a bad rbk. It would seem you're financing him?" Gasty's donkey iauah a as a trifle subdued. "I'm just staking him to a couple of meals. He's got money and a job waiting at Amarillo. He's gonna pay me back with 19 bucks to boot. I can use that dough." "And he can use yours," John Weston said. "Well, keen your oves open. Gusty." Gusty said, "Don t worry. Blub ber's okay. Gosh, any guy that can send a giltar like Re does . . ." ''Sen dm a guitar. 1 fear, is no cri terion of honesty." Mr. Weston walk ed away. Without thinking. Francie said. "Please take Pops' advice, Gusty." Ukay, Sugar, 1 II ditch Blubber , if you Tl ride with me." 1 will not!" Francie flung herself away from his in a fury. The tourist cabins where they stopped that night were set back among tall trees. At bedtime Mr. Weston left Francie and Aunt Hat and retired to his own cabin next door. For a long time, Francie lay with her arms behind her head thinking of Gusty. She didn't care what hap pened to him, of course; still, the memory of Blubbers ugly face gave her a sinking feeling In her stomach. And then, as if to reassure her, there came through the open window the thin, sweet voice of Gasty's trumpet Gusty was improvising weirdly against the rhythm beat of a guitar. He was camped nearby and ,u w Francie slept with the music in her ears. A sound awakened her. At first she thought it was only the wind rustling through the trees. And then she heard it again. Frozen with terror, she let her eyes roam around the room, bringing the doorway into view. Silhouetted aiiainst the moon light Francie saw the bulky outline of a man.
