MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. OREGON, WEDNESDAY, JULY 8, 1942. PAGE EIGHT .rasa acchh Chapter 18 Two New Alliea JOYCE MURDOCK beard the story through, allowing Delia to tell it in her own way without interruption. Upon opening the door and teeing the wnite. tor tured look on the girl'i face ahe had known something was wrong: now. she sat down and ' put an arm about Delia'i shoul der. "Of all the rotten luck." she said. "But I think you were marvelous for not telling him you had the envelope." "Oh. I couldn't, Joyce. Not then. I was so afraid and what can we do?" "Well think of something." Tve got to give him the en velope. It isn't me. but if the police should find out Ward actually was there" "Delia." Joyce said, Interrupt ing. "Don't you think maybe we should tell Kent and see what he aayi?" Delia considered this, brushing her hair back from her forehead. "No." she said. "I'd still rather not." "Kent would never let you down." Even as she spoke Joyce real ized that Delia's mind was made up and that to argue now would do no good. She sighed and leaned back. -All right, dear." she said, and then an idea crept Into the cloudy recesses of her mind. "If vou'd rather not tell Kent, all right. But we need help, and I think I know someone." "Who?" "His name Is Fenner, He's a private detective." "Oh. no." Delia's eyes got round and startled. "Not a detective." "Yes a detective," Joyce said. "He's worked with Kent before. I know him well enough to go to him and I know he can be trusted implicitly. We needn't tell him everything, and you needn't worry about bis going to the police." She got up. Tm going to phone him. You needn't actually agree until you've seen him and talked with him." Fresh Ideaa SHE picked up the telephone, re membered she did not know the number and replaced it. She reached for the directory, found what she wanted: then as she was about to make the call, she thought of something else and sat quite still, a narrowness coming bout her eyes. "What is It?" Delia asked. "What's the matter?" "I Just thought of something." Joyce went to the desk, found the envelope and opened It. "We should have a copy of these things." she said. "But why?" "1 don't know. But we should. How do we know what's going to happen later or how important the envelope may become? Why not have these things photo graphed? Then, if we lose them well, who knows? Kent would do it why shouldn t we?" Delia ieaned forward. Inter ested now. but skeptical. "Can you do it?" "No, but I'll get someone who can. Someone from the paper." "From the paper?" Delia said. "But that will be just one more person to know " "It will be no such thing," Joyce aid. "And will vou please stop worrying? I realize the risk as well at you do." "Yes. but" The one I have In mind won't be able to read French. Im sure nor Spanish either. He'll have no idea what those papers say, and even if he did you'd never have to worry. Really. Delia, there are some people you can trust." She was telephoning before Delia could add anything more. Light, Speedy Engine Perfected to Drive Submarine Chasers Washington, July 8. W) After 23 years of efforts to per fect light, high speed power plant to drive submarine chas ers, the navy proudly announced today that new light weight Diesel engine and variable pitch marine propeller were at last In full production. Mass production of the sub etsaser power plant was hailed at the navy department as a tre mendous forward step In the campaign against predatory U boats along the east coast. The navy said that the engine "la believed to be the lightest ocean duty Diesel engine in the world, occupying "about one- third the space of the most suc cessful previous Diesel engines of the same horsepower. "Because of the use of the reversible propeller, there is no necessity for reversing the en gine or providing reversal gears."

Their functions will be taken over by 11 region al offices. Between S.000 and 10.000 employes will be dropped. NYA Mid. The regional offices include .lac Asfeie. by George Harmon Cox and for the next minute or two she talked rapidly and earnestly, explaining what she wanted. "He can't come for about an hour," she said when she hung up. "Somebody is out to dinner and he has to stay in the office. Then he'l' come right over. . . . And that reminds me. We're going to need dinner ourselves." 'Oh. I couldn't eat thing." , ucna saio. 'Nuts, said Joyce inelegantly. Persuading Eddy EDDY LACEY was blond, blue eyed and freckled. He was not more than twenty-one or two, and when he had been told what Joyce wanted him to do he looked decidedly uncomfortable. 'I don't know " he said. "What's the boss going to say?" "Kent?" Joyce said. "He's not going to find out, is he, Eddy?" "You'd be surprised the things he finds out" "This is between us, though. "Yeah, but I work for him." "And I know how loyal you are." Joyce said. "But this is something personal. Kent isn't go ing to Know anything anout it ana if he should find out I'll tell him I forced you to do it, and you hadn't any choice." Lacey grinned. "And that's no lie." Joyce handed him the two clip pings and the copies of the mar riage and divorce certificates. "Did you bring the right sort of attachment to we'll be able to read these after you photograph tnem? Lacey said he had. "But that photostat wont come up too clear," he added. "The prints will have to be blown up quite a Pit. "That's all right When you've made your exposures you can develop and enlarge them right here in Kent's darkroom." "Oh oh." said Lacey. "Now what?" "Guys don't like other guys fooling around with their dark rooms." Trouble sobered him un til, catching sight of the look on Joyce's face, he shrugged and grinned. "Okay. I might za well give it the works." For the next half hour Joyce and Delia stood by while Eddy Lacey unpacked his plate-case, set up his camera and lights and thumb-tacked the first clipping to a bread-board Joyce had pur loined from the kitchen. Except for an occasional muttering sound, Lacey worked silently, and as soon as he had finished with his camera, he took his late to the darkroom down the all Joyce telephoned Jack Fenner while Lacey was in the dark room and after a brief and guard ed explanation secured his con sent to listen to the rest of her story. "Me 11 oe Dusy uniu nine thirty," Joyce told Delia, "and I said we could meet him at the Copley." "If only we didn't have to tell him." Delia said. "If only" "I know. But it's not goinf( to be as bad as you think, darling. And you'll like Jack. He's amus ing in a hard-boiled sort of way, and quite honest" Soon Eddy had four, eleven by fourteen, glossy white prints go inc through the washer and when Joyce saw them she knew they would do. "I used the biggest paper I could find," Lacey said. 'I don't know if they're good enough." Oh, they are, tudy. And you re 1 darling. "I gould easily be a chump, too," said Lacey. Joyce brought out an oversized blotting book from a cabinet and put it on the table. They ought to be ferrotyped," Lacey said. "I know," Joyce said. "But this will do. It will get them out of the way and" she saw that the negatives were dry "I'll take care of the negatives." To ba continued FREED BY WPB Washington. July 8 W) The war production board re vised restrictions on Inventories today, freeing- hundreds of thou sands of tons of copper, alum inum, rubber, silk and other critical war materials now idle because of W'l'B regulations.

WPB said it was Impossible to estimate the total idle stocks affected, but placed their value at hundreds of millions" of dol lars.

W) The chief engineer of a medium-sized Norwegian cargo ship torpedoed in the Caribbean the afternoon of June 15 told here of thrice spurning the ef fort of a submarine commander to shake hands with him. (The incident followed the sinking of his ship, which was announced today by the navy at Washington. The navy also released a story of the shelling of a small British tanker In the Caribbean the night of June 17. Twenty of the 21 men aboard the tanker were rescued al though two submarines poured some eo shells Into their ship, survivors said.) 13 Rescued The chief engineer was one of 13 members of the 23-man crew announced by naval authorities as rescued from two life rafts The 12 others are believed to have gone down with the ship, which sank in 30 seconds after having been aln.ost broken in half by a torpedo explosion There was no previous warn ing of a submarine's presence, related the engineer, and the ship sank so rapidly that those of the crew who could simply Jumped overboard. Thirteen finally were assembled on the two rafts. The chief told this storyi About five minutes after the ship went down,- approximate'y 1 p. m., a submarine surfaced about 300 yards away and its commander, who spoke broken English, asked for the captain of the ship. Skipper Young Told that the officers were killed, he asked the chief engi neer aboard the submarine. There the sub commander, a dark complexioned, sunburned, unshaven, and stockily built man of about 23, wearing shorts no shirt and a blue 'cap with yellow insignia, talked to the survivor on the after deck. "I think this is a surprise for you," said the submarine com mander. "Anything can happen In war," was the reply. "I am sorry this had to hap pen to you," continued the sub marine officer. "I'll give you two loaves of bread." Here followed the presenta tion of two loaves of dark brown, hard bread, three meat cans full of water and the sub marine commander's attempt to wish his victims a "happy voy age." He extended his hand but the chief did not take it,, merely saying, "I thank you for your bread and water." Photo Plan Seen The commander appeared to become quite angry and walked toward the conning tower but came back again and asked the chief to shake hands, with the same result. A third try like wise was rebuffed.

A Lyon dispatch today said doctors estimated the French people since the armistice of June, 1940, had lost at least 440,000,000 pounds, or an aver age of 11 pounds per person. This Is due. they said, to lack of meat, cheese, eggs and fats. Before the war began the aver age Frenchman ate 66 pounds of bread or flour products monthly as against half of that amount now. The meat, sugar and cheese intake now Is 25 per cent of the pre-war regime; butter and oil is 30 per cent and coffee 12 per cent. STRANGE AS IT SEEMS ..
