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

"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.

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.

ON SERVICES TO
BE KEPTFOR OPA
Retailers of Consumer Serv
ices Required To Preserve
Records on March Trade.
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.
