0 PAGE SEC MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, OREGON," TUESDAY, JULY 7, 1942. Chapter IT Ultimatum THE hot tub soon absorbed the weariness from Delia'a lees, but as she lay there soaking, the sense of bodily contentment was gradually counteracted dj a growing anxiety. It was after six now, and until five thirty she had been tramping the street in search of that elu sive bat which was to match Joyce's brown suit. In the end they had found one at LuciUe's, and Joyce had been dropped at ber apartment with the promise that Delia would be back at seven for dinner. During that time she had not thought much about the murder of Perry Clarke: now those neglected fears again were on the prowl. ' She was, she told herself, being silly. Actually it was nothing but her imagination that bothered her. and this was not very flatter ing to Ward. He had gone to see Clarke, to be sure: he had wanted those clippings, had argued about them at Heuor's and had gone there last night to get them. He had been the one who had knocked at the door. It must have been his voice she heard while ahe was taking the envelope from the bedroom. ... She sat up, slapping hard at the water in anger and exasperntion at herself for thinking about it. The sDlash rained against the wall and spread upon the floor and she stood up and reached for the towel as she stepped to the bato mat. Why must ahe torture herself this wayT Why couldn't she trust him when ahe knew nothing at all except the fact that he had been In Clarke's apartment? She knew, of course, the answer to this too. She was afraid. She had the wind up and couldn't do anything about it. Never in all her life could she remember happiness like that of the last six months, and the thought of losing it was terrifying. The knocking on the door cut sharply across her thoughts and she realized that, except for the towel in her hand, she was quite naked. She smiled at herself and reached for her robe, a spark of quick excitement touching on ner Dopes. - Ward? It must be. No one ever called on her, and although he . usually telephoned before he came he probably had Just stopped on on nis way nome. The Little Man SHE took off the rubber cap and ahook out her hair, stepped into her mules and tightened the robe about her. Passing through the oeoroom sne neara the knocking again, but stopped at the vanity to slap on some powder and in spect herself. The knocking was now Insis tent and she called: "Just a min ute," as she scuffed across the living room. She pulled the door open a tentative crack and peered out. The man stood very close to that small opening, not Ward, but someone sne nad never seen be fore: a short, solid looking man, wiin nondescript clotnea and a weautained gray hat pushed oacx irom nis rorenead. "Hello," he said. "How do you do," Delia said, thinking about the chain -stop Ward Allen had insisted she In stall and wishing she had fas tened it "Talk to you a minute?" ' "What is it you want?" "I want to talk to you. AVmt last night" Something tightened up In Delia and her hand waa cold on the doorknob. "Who are you?" she asked. "The name doesn't matter, the man said. "It's what I've got to aay that counts." ''But I don't understand. If you could tell me what" "Not from out here talking through a crark in the door." "Couldn't you come back some other time?" "No." BUND CHIEF HELD AS DRAFT DODGER New York, July 7 (&) Gerhard Wilhelm Kunze, de scribed by federal authorities as the former fuehrer of the German-American bund in this coun try, was held in $S0.000 bail to day on a federal charge of violat ing the selective service act. - The 36 year-old Kunze, arrest ed only a few days ago in Mexico and returned to this country In great secrecy, was arraigned be fore Federal Judge George C. Sweeney on the charge of falling to notify his local draft board of his whereabouts. Kunze Is under indictment by a Hartford, Conn., federal grand Jury on a charge of violation of the 1917 espionage art. For this reason Assistant U. S. Attorney Howard Corcoran sought and ob tained the high bail. Obviously nervous, costless, but wearing a vest and a faded brown shirt, Kunze was flanked by federal bureau of l'.vestign tion men during his arraignment Draft Evader's Dad Also Given Sentence Seattle, July 7 P) Fred Langenbach, 63, who aided his 22-year old son Floyd, to evade the draft, was sentenced toddy by Federal Judge Lloyd L. Keep 'Em Rolling at Ashland Roller Rink Tue Thur., Sat., Sun.. Eves Plan A Partv. Call aa A.Man it "Tor Health's Sake. Holler Mate' by Gaorg Harmon Cox "But I I'm not dressed." Til wait" ' Delia hesitated, conscious of rapidly growing sense of alarm. What could ne mean by that ref erence to "last night"? She could feel his eyes boring into her and suddenly he no longer seemed small and nondescript mere was something menacing in his very presence ana as mucn as sne wanted to shut him out she dared not slam the door. "Can't you at least tell me what It's about?" she asked hesitantly. "About a guy named Clarke, he said. "Go ahead, get dressed. I'll wait" Delia closed the door, the cold ness creeping up her legs and sapping at her strength as she nurneu oacK lu in ucuiuum aim begin to dress, trying to think and then trying not to when she found the result so trigntening. She did not bother with the de tails of her appearance, nor stop to primp before the mirror. She donned underwear and slipped a green woolen dress over her head. As soon as she had her stockings and shoes on she went back to the hall door and opened it "Thanks," the man said, and entered. He took of? his hat stopped In the center of the room. Delia put on what she thought was a smile and tried to be po lite, to keep her voice and man ner composed. "Won't you sit down?" Until Noon THE man did so and ahe crossed to the sofa. He sat on the edge of the chair, leaning forward a little, studying her, holding his hat so that it dangled between his knees. His face was round and shiny and unworried; his hair was thin and straight Only his eyes served to warn her that for all his outward complacency there was something about him that could be hard and shrewd and ruthless. Small, and partly hidden by their fleshy setting, those eyes were steady and fath omless, revealing nothing. "Now," Delia said. "What was It?" "You went to see Clarke last night You went to his apart ment." Delia drew a breath, "Did I?" "A little before eleven. You weren't the only one, understand, but you were the first" Fhe waited, trying to keep her smile, fighting harH to meet the announcement calmly, knowing all the time that if this man knew she had been to see Clarke, he must know that Ward had also called. "And Clarke had some papers," the man went on. "Somebody took them. The police didn't And them" "You're from Jhe police?" . "No." Then I don't understand "You will. Clarke had some pa pers. Somebody lifted them. Either you or somebody else." Delia had control of herself now. "But if vou're not from the police," she said, "how do you happen to know so much about it?" "You were there, weren't you?" ' Delia surveyed him coldlv and said nothing. The man bunched his Hps and stood up. "Okay." he said flatly. Til put it this way. You've got until to morrow noon." "I'm afraid I don't follow you." "Until tomorrow noon. I'll tele phone you here. Either you've got those papers or you know who has Get them. I'll tell you what to do with them when I calL" "But suppose " . "I'm not supposing anything. If you don t deliver the police get tlDDed ofT. 1 think thev'd like to know where you were at eleven ocioca last nigni: i minK thev d like to know who else was there." He put on his hat and went to the door. ODenine it be for. Delia could reach him. In the hall he turned. "You've got until noon. Play ball with me or I'll turn you in. Te be eenUnaed Black to serve 15 months In the McNeil island penitentiary. Pointing out that Langenbach had "made a criminal out of his own son," Judge Black imposed a sentence four months greater than that recommended by the prosecutor. He said he only gave 13-months because the defendant was In ill health. The son still is being held on a charge of falling to register for the draft. PA WHEN MA FINED Roseburg.

Storage For Wheat Is Kansas Problem Hutchinson, Kas., July 7 P As combines and binders rolled across wheat fields of Reno and adjoining counties today the problem of where to put the grain grew. Hutchinson's 14,000,000 bush els of storage space was full and so were most of the country elevators. As yet little of the crop had been piled on the ground in this locality but far ther west huge piles began ap pearing on farms.

Seattle Spl. -With the ap plication July 1 of price ceilings to a great majority of consumer services, the state director of the Office of Price Administra tion has announced that each retailer of such services will be required to preserve all existing records for OPA, relating to pricing methods and charges used during March, 1942, the price level freezing date. September 1, 1942, a listing of the consumer services, which are made in connection with commodities, must be prepared and kept for examination at any time by OPA or any person during ordinary business hours. A duplicate of this listing must be filed with the local War Price and Rationing Boasd by September 10. Must Show Celling The record must indicate the highest prices which the retailer charged for a consumer service during March. The pricing meth od used must be shown and a description of all customary al lowances, discounts and other price differentials, which were In effect in March and which now will remain the ceiling prices. The consumer services price ceilings come under Maximum Price Regulation No. 165. Since May IS, almost all retail -commodities have had price ceil ings, based generally upon the highest retail price for which each store keeper sold or of fered for sale such items in March. Commodity ceilings were frozen under the General Maximum Price Regulation. In general, the ceilings are frozen on services in connection with a commodity, in contrast to services in connection with a person, which are exempt. Com modity services include family laundry, dry cleaning, shoe re pairing, automobile repairing, and various household repair work. Exemptions Include: services of an employe to his employer, professional services of a physi cian or lawyer, common carrier or miblic utility services, in surance and underwriting, and services relating solely to real property. Detail information on Gen eral Maximum Price Regulation 165 can be obtained from the State Office of Price Adminis tration.
