The two men had been sitting there (or the last hour or so, putting way quite a few drinks and talking endlessly. Brenda had Joined, them when she left Joyce's room. Presently. Bill and Brenda started home, but Michael lin gered. "Eileen, I've been thlnklnf about something. I think I've got a kind of idea. I may be going mildly In sane, but . . ." "Well?" Eileen prompted. "You know how it is. All through this awful business, you get Ideas, They flash Into your mind." "I know." she said. "Sometimes the most awful suspicions." "Yes. And sometimes things that teem absurd. For instance, there may be significance in the fact that Lena was murdered a few hours after that photograph disappeared from your room. Supposing Lena . took It. supposing she'd discovered something in It and wanted to look at it again and think it out." "What could she have discov ered? What do you mean?" "Do you remember that, besides Clarice and her husband In that picture, there was Deacharaps Denlse's father? He'd been an old love of Clarice's. Then there were Pellx and Joyce as kids." "I remember. What about It? Michael dropped his voice. Haven't you ever ' noticed that children sometimes have the most striking likenesses to people that they lose later? It's a frightful give away sometimes, I don't know if It struck you" He broke off suddenly and lis tened. "What Is it?" Eileen asked. Sh." he whispered. "I thought I beard someone outside." She listened, too. "No, It was only bird In the creeper. But be turned like a flash and went out the French window. Bhe aaw him go to the edge of the ver anda and peer Into the bushes. He threw her one warning glance over his shoulder, then stepped out Into the garden. ' Eileen waited there In the draw ing room for a long time, expecting him to come back. Finally, she turned out the tights and went up stairs. He must have met someone, she thought, and not been able to get back to her. She returned to bed and. m time, fell fast asleep. THE next morning, at about nine o'clock, Eileen and Felix and Joyce and Denies were at break fast, when Bill came over. He looked around as ha stepped Into the dining room, . . . "Mike here?" ht asked. Eileen felt a shock go through her; she couldn't have said why. George Jessel Prof. George Jessel, Instructor In the art ol maater-of-eeremon;lng, gives lectures on this subject le group el soldier bovs and girls. He and ethers hate opened a three-day talent school In' Los Angeles ta provide entertainers from the Army lor the Army. There's a civilian enenage In Noted Surgeon Dr, Verne Carlton Hunt, 59, prominent Lea Anseles surgeon, was murdered la hla offices bv a former patient Ephran Mounoey, who barged Into Dr. Hunt's office, said, "Why didn't you o oerate on me?" fired sis shots at the doctor, and later turned the gun on himself. Or. Hunt was naldered one ef the finest surgeons on the Pacific - Coait. "No," she answered. "Why?" "He didn't come home last night and I was wondering where be was." Didn't come home?" Eileen got up from her place at the table. Bill shook his head. "No, I have not seen him since Brenda and 1 left bun with you last night. Did be stay long with you?" "No. We had a little talk and and then he went away." Something tied Eileen's tongue. Something prevented hr from tell ing them all what Michael had said to her and the Incident that had cut It short. What had been the meaning of It? What bad Michael been going to say? "Oh. why make a fusst" Joyce asked. "He'll probably turn up." "Suppose he's been knocked down by a car or something," Bill said. "He may have gone to see some one," Felix suggested, "and didn't ring for fear of disturbing vou Where have you looked for him?" "Everywhere. He hasn't been la bis room or slept In bis bed." . THERE was a silence. Denlse sal quiet. She stirred and stirred bet coffee. Bill moved from foot to foot "Well, do we do anything about It?" "Yes," Eileen said quickly. "1 think we should tell the detectives at once." , Denlse looked up then. "I suppose you know what they'll think? He disappears Just after Lena's death. And they'll remember that It was Mike who took Clarice her last drink." "Denlse 1 You're mad," Felix burst out "All right, but you're s fool If you go to the detectives. My advice is abstain from action. Know nothing, tell nothing, keep quiet." "They'll find out." said Felix. ""Let them. That's their Job." Suddenly Denlse pushed her cup away. It fell over Into the saucet with a clatter. It was a clumsy ges ture, very unlike Denlse. "You dont seem to realize that we're all In danger. We're In two sorts of dan ger. One from whoever murdered Lena perhaps because she was going to meddle. The other danger Is from the police. They want to ar rest someone and I don't suppose It matters terribly much to them which one of us they drop on.". Eileen was staring at her. "You said something like this before when we found Clarice hadn't com mitted suicide." "Yes. I did. but no one took my advice, and what's the result? If we had shut up the servants tben and not allowed a word to get out. Lena wouldn't be In the morgue this morning." "All right, an right." It was Felix who answered. "I knew all that, but I'm going to tell the police Just the same. Mike may have had an acci dent." . j (To be continued) tThe characters in Mis serial ars Hctttiowl Oops. IMS, ey Arcadia HoUM, la.'

U.PJ The radio Industry is trying to put ' the squeeze on such long time sustaining programs as The Catholic Hour" and move them to less desirable times, Chairman James L. Fly of the Federal Communications com mission said today1. Fly told the Senate Interstate Commerce committee that Na tional Broadcasting Co, sought unsuccessfully to move . the Sunday evening Catholic . pro gram to a less desirable time to make way for "Amos 'n' Andy." Catholic opinion block ed this move, he said, but other sustaining programs have not been so fortunate. Town Hall Squeeied "Town Hall" and the "Chi cago Round Table," two educa tional features, had been rele gated to undesirable periods. Fly said. "The squeeze Is being nut on sustaining programs," he told the committee. "NBC carries only an hour and 49 minutes of sustaining program weekly dur ing he hours from 7 p. m. to 11 p. m; Columbia Broadcast ing System carries only two hours and IS minutes of sus taining time during the same period.. "I question the long-range wisdom of giving up their edu cational features for commercial programs." ... He said. the pntgram content on the air during the evening Is on the downgrade,. while day time programs are not being Improved in content or in variety. "I wish this committee could hear the NBC programs from 10 In the morning until 6 o'clock in the evening," he said. I would like to see the picture a psychiatrist draws of a housewife's brain at 6 o'clock in the evening after listening to soap operas all day," ' In response to a question by Sen. E. H. Moore, R., Okla., Fly said he would favor "speci fic legislation requiring stations to set aside a certain amount of time, for educational programs and public service programs."' Committee Chairman Burton K. Wheeler, D., Mont., agreed that programs should be Im proved. . If you educate a Boy to read dime novels, that Is all he will want to read," Wheeler said. "If you give American people trashy programs, that's what they will want to near." . There must be many women tor; whom, as for me, the dream of having , a pretty and conve nient home never quite comes true. A woman's desire for a nice home is as Instinctive as is her wish to be wife and mother. In fact, the trinity of desires are woven into one and are insep arable. Sometimes consciously, sometimes only subconsciously. lt is that dream home a girl has In mind when she adds dainty bits of household linen to her hope chest: is with her as she buys a piece of: gaily patterned china. When she falls in love and marries, that home is the most outstanding thing In her vista ot the future.

The home instinct in a man la as primitive as we are given to un derstand are bis other instincts. To the average man home means simple shelter, simple food sim ply served, and a comfortable bed. To him, dishes are just con tainers for food and any old cov erlet will do if it but keep him warm. He regards as feminine whimsy his wife's passionate de sire that the dishes match and the blankets be soft and gaily colored. And all he asks of a house is that it keep out the rain. He may endure her nagging persistence about Venetian blinds with gentlemanly chival ry, but aid and abet her in her unreasonable demands he will not. A wife can't really hold his attitude against him since its Just how he's made. Women react differently to this situation. Yet each one sets up her own individual defense mechanism. My escape from re ality Is to mentally take over the homes of such women as have those I most admire. Without benefit of deed or tax receipts, I Just walk into the house and for the time being possess it. The big soft chair in which I sit is mine, as are the coffee table, dainty napery and china. The trim and petite Mrs. Mor ris serving a plump and gray haired matron doesn't know that the situation Is reversed. It Is I who Is saying, "Do have another cup of coffee. And try this cin namon toast." Oh, I'm a Molly Moocher, I tell you I I sit right there and without lifting a fin ger I've polished the silverware, vacked the rugs and dusted the baby grand. ' One of my friends has Just in vited me to come and see her new window draperies. I hope I find I've shown good taste in their selection. IN PLANE CRASH Hamilton Field, Cal., Dec. 20.
