WHY FRANKFURTER DISSENTED i Corcoran's friends bave this ex planation of Frankfurter's failure fail-ure to go to bat for his old stu dent. Last year Frankfurter served ser-ved on a special committee ap pointed by the President to make civil service recommendations re garding- government Jobs. One recommendation was to exempt various legal Jobs from civil service serv-ice in order to make it easy for the government to hiresthe type of lawyers it wanted. Frankfurter also recommended that these government lawyers were to be approved by the solic itor general. This was the Joc which Tom Corcoran wanted solicitor generar. Friends further believe that Frankfurter did not want Corcoran to have this key post where he could select future I lawvers for the? svcrnmfnf The tJ. S, Air Corps has started a lot of new special services as a result of the war in Europe regular tripa across the Atlantic, commuting run between New York and Washington,, and various vari-ous others not known to the general gen-eral public. But the most mysterious of all these is "the egg run." Nobody outside the Air Corps knows What this is, but here is the inside of the mystery. Almost every week-end, Secretary of War Stimson goes by plane from wasnington to spend Saturday anu ounaay ai nis Long Island place, "Highold,' farm. And after the week end is over, the Secretary of War comes out to the airport to board his plane looking very dignified and clutching a little paper bag full of fresh eggs. And great is the trepidation of the pilot for fear a Jolt of vthe plane should spoil the week's breakfasts which Mr. Stimson is carrying back to Washington. TANKS FOR BRITAIN J if, , Tanks, the biggest need of the British after airplanes, will soon be rolling off the assembly line at the rate of 1,000 per month. Even at the present rate of production pro-duction tanks are beginning to pile up in New York. Of these, 500 a month will go to the British, for tanks are what the British need more than anything any-thing else to take the offensive on the European continent. But this very favorable picture has one bad drawback. It Is the problem of getting the tanks to England or Egypt. The first problem prob-lem is ships, but even after this is solved, there is the equally difficult problem of unloading. Tanks are so heavy that the ships' crane cannot unload them; it takes a heavy crane on the dock. Many cranes In English ports have been bombed, and in Suez there is only one. Thus, although the Turks have been pleading with the British for tanks, and declined last spring to enter an agreement with the British because be-cause the British could not supply sup-ply tanks, U. S. ships carrying tanks may not be aUe to unload them for weeks at Suez. The first U. S. ships sent to Suez took more than four weeks to unload, and the Army fears that in unloading tanks now, a whole line of ships may have to wait for days easy targets for Nazi bombers from Crete. That Is why the Army is especially espe-cially interested In the new flat-bottomed flat-bottomed boats which the Navy finally was persuaded to build much against Its wiU. Tanks can be lowered into the hold by a crane. Then, arriving at the other side, the tanks can bade off the scow under their own power. NOTE: The Army also is much Interested in these flat-bottomed boats for purposes of landing invading in-vading troops in a hurry. Artillery Artil-lery and tanks can be run off boats of this kind the minute they touch shore. NO ROOMS FOR RENT A young women is looking for a bed and a bureau and a place to wash her Silk stockings. She has s Job but she hasn't home. She came to Washington, thinking think-ing it would be hard to find a Job. She was wrong. And easy to find a room. Again wrong. Whether she is a blonde from Boston or a brunette from Baton Rouge, she and her civil service sisters are looking, for. any respectable re-spectable place that has a bed in the . corner and a number on the front door. They want a place to rest and an address for the letters from home. In normal times, the Government Govern-ment brings to Washington aS many as 2,000 new workers a year. Today the figure is 2,000 a month. Civil Service Commission Commis-sion estimates that In the next 16 months, 35,000 more defense workers will come to Washington. Washing-ton. And most of them are women. Where will they sleep? A big man from Texas thinks he has the answer. Jesse Jones, who has as many government agencies under his wing as there are hotels In Washington, has tokt one of these agencies to build a woman's dormitory for defense workers. So Defense Homes Corporation, Corpora-tion, a subsidiary of RFC, has drawn op plans and bought a site for the new home for women. It will be located on the north side of town, near "Embassy Row" on sixteenth Street. With a total of 750 rooms, some single and some double, the 1 dormitory will house no less than 1,000 women.

Into the block of cells a few moi ments after Judy had been placed there. She pulled the 10-watt bulb in Judy's cell, dimly lighting the drab iron cot with its brown blanket, the tin wash basin, the barred window pane that was too far from the cement floor. The matron was a middle-aged woman, thin and small, and gray curls bobbed around her face and her mild blue eyes. Now she smiled at Judy. "My, my, child, what a pretty dress," she enthused. "Most of our brides wear gingham or some kind of suits. Honest to goodness, you're the first one to be all dressed up like a paper angel. Did you get th worth out of the dress, dearie?" "I never even was married." Judy's voice was gayer than It had been. "Well, now that's a pity. A fine dress like that and the lace all tearinV The woman moved her head from side to side in sympathy. Judy examined the lace, too. It waa hopelessly raveled. Even In its rundown state it still held its pride. "My grandmother wore this dress," Judy said. "And my grandmother lived in the same red brick house for 51 years. She never thought her dress would be Exhibit A in the case oi the People vs. her granddaughter. Or that it would take a Jump out of an air' plane." "Child, you Jumped?" The woman's eyes widened, and she sat down on the rough brown blanket. "Bailed out" Judy slid off her wedding veiL It was ruined beyond all mending. "Maybe you could trim a blouse with this." She tossed the shimmering lace to the small polka matron. Why she wanted to tell the policewoman her story she didn't know. Maybe because she wanted fo straighten out its twisted threads In her own mind and a recital, well rounded, would make the parachute melodrama clear.

Mrs. McKay is to be congratulated! Frank C. Robertson's numerous fans will acclaim the dean of western story, writers' latest novel, Good Hope Gulch," which ap pears in the third October issue of Ranch Romances magazine. Written in Mr. Robertson's best manner, it's distinguished by fresh situations, fast-movnig action, unusually un-usually attractive characters, and the authenticity of background which is the hallmark of all this author's work. Mr. Robertson lives Washington, Wednesday, for a vis-in vis-in Sprlngville, Utah. it with friends in the northwest. For the first time she realized that the whole thing was fantastic the sort of thing that simplv didn't happen to well-balanced, intelligent people It seemed natural nat-ural to Judy to present the facts in a light that shed quiet glory on Phil. Sandy had done the un- forgivable, the unbelievable, heedlessly and hopelessly muddling mud-dling two lives besides his own. As she spoke her voice sharpened with anger. At the close of her story the woman stood up and placed a gentle hand on Judy's shoulder. "I know you're furious with him, dear, but Just think of that poor young man up there by himself all night long. Honey," she nodded, "you can say what you please, bu he must love you a lot more than most women ever get loved to do what he did. And I'm for him. Maybe I'm just romantic, ro-mantic, but I'm sure for him." JUDY glanced out of the small upper window. The stars were out now, shining brightly in her corner of the sky. Then she whirled on the police matron. "You think he's coward enough not to come down?" - "No, no, honey, but hell work better if he isn't arrested. And I thought you hatett him!"- "Oh, I do. I love PhiL He's he's wonderful. If I wanted to marry him before", I want to marry him three times more now." Even while she spoke she wondered won-dered why she had called Philip wonderful. It was such an ordinary or-dinary word. Any girl could describe any man with it and mean it. "Well, darling, here's a nice, neat, brown calico that will carry through till morning when the court sends for your stuff. There's a pitcher of cold water and a wash cloth and toweL If you want anything any-thing else Just ring. You've got the whole women's quarters to yourself tonight."

From now on she was safe. No more rainbow ladders across white clouds, no more bridges made from stars, no more wings. The cot was hard and uncomfortable. uncom-fortable. Because she could not sleep she remembered, looking at the dark blue window. Were all windows made from memories? Were nights supposed to be a place, a stopping place, for something some-thing that once had been lovely, something drab with time's passage? pass-age? . When memories were done, those in which Phil and Sandy, both moved, she caught her thoughts and pushed them, together to-gether firmly behind a mental door. TF Sandy really cared for her, A why didn't he offer himself in her place? For a moment she had thought that he had cared. How did he know that she made a successful jump? She began to think. There was to be a cross-country flight next week. Sandy had registered for it and paid the $1000 entrance fee. She wondered how he had got it. Maybe from Peg's father. And yet . . ; Sandy twice in the past winter had let her steer for a moment his hand above hers.

She was cold, too, for the prickly blanket had slipped to the floor She felt the white silk slip, the gossamer underthings that she was wearing. The police matron stumbled sleepily along the corridor. "Miss Allen, a young man says he has to see you. A fine young man. Faith, if I was younger and hadn't buried my third, I'd make up a dress with lace and catch his eye myself." "But how did he know that Pra here?"
