THE PROGRESSIVE OPINION -- ZT ' "omrT? IJIJU ill V ' V 4 THE STORS SO FAR: An orphan, Rawlings knows al-most Charlotte (Cherry) nothing of her early history when, acceding to the wishes of her guardians, Judge Judsoo Marshbanks and Emma Haskell, she becomes the secretary to Mrs. Porteous Porter, wealthy San Fran-ciscan Invalid. Busy as she Is, Cherry sees the Judge from time to time and meets the members of his household; his dictatorial old mother; Amy Marsh-bank-debutante daughter of his dead brother, Fred; and Fran, his gay young second wife. Shortly afterward Cherry learns, through Emma, that her mother (never married) had been Emma's sis-ter. Charlotte; that her father had been the Judge's brother, Fred Amy's father and that, shortly after Cherry and Amy were born, Cherry's mother had switched the two babies! Poor Cherry Rawlings Is really the rich Amy Marshbanks. The judge confirms the amazing story, but to protect Amy his mother burns certain papers that would have proved it to be true. Meanwhile, Cherry had fallen In love with Kelly Coates, a young artist (who for a time had been infatuated with Fran Marshbanks); and Amy is determined to marry Count Mario (Go-go- ) Constantino. Cherry is Jealous when Fran intimates she had lunch with Kelly at his SausaUto studio, but he tells her he hasn't seen Fran In weeks. Old Mrs. Marshbanks tells Cherry she resents her presence in the house. Judge Marsh-banks Is shot to death In his library and everybody In the house is under suspicion. Kelly finally convinces Cher-ry that he Is over his Infatuation for Fran and she agrees to marry him. Amy marries Count Gogo in Reno. Cherry discovers there are gunpowder marks on Fran's negUgee. The police find love let-ters Kelly wrote to Fran. Now continue with the story. I had to tell them, Kelly she said breathlessly, apologetically. earth do you suppose was In those letters, dear? Plans for murdering Jud Marshbanks?" "You comfort me," Cherry whis-pered, her eyes shut "You don't know how you rest me, Kelly." He twisted about a little so that he could get an arm around her. "What was In them?" she asked faintly. "Well, I suppose the usual thing. That I was oh lord perhaps that I was happy in my new friendship for one of the most fascinating wom-en I'd ever known," Kelly said, half amused and half impatient "There must have been more than that because she was so fright-ened." "I'll be damned if I know what scared her," he said. In a genuinely puzzled tone. "She was beside her-self. 'Kelly,' she said, 'it isn't for my sake but yours! Your career is ruined." And she wanted me to take her away. 'Take me away and mar-ry me!" she said over and over again." "And what did you say?" Cherry asked, paling. "I said that I loved you." Her eyes filled again. Cherry could not speak. "Then she said that I didn't know what might happen," the man pur-sued, still in the tone of one com-pletely bewildered, "and I asked her what on earth she was afraid of. She said, 'You don't know, you don't know how they soundl You've not seen them for months." It was the darnedest thing I ever knew." But as for the police and the press ex-ploiting them and landing me- - in jaiL why, it's just silly." hand on his shoulder, "this is the strange thing. Fran did have that negligee on at first but when the police and the doctor and all the others got there she didn't She had on only her nightgown, for she was shivering with cold, and one of the maids went and got her an overcoat from the hall closet." "Ha!" Kelly said, his brow knit-ted. "Sure of that?" "I'm absolutely sure. The first thing I saw when I opened my door was that the halls were lighted, and May and Molly and Helene, the oth-er maid, were coming down from the upper floor, and Fran halfway down the stairs saying it was noth-ing, that we mustn't get excited, and wearing that negligee. But when the doctor and the police got there, she didn't have it on." "She could have run upstairs, hung it up, and gone down again without anyone's noticing?" "Easily it was a madhouse for a while. And nobody was watching or checking." "She wiped that revolver on the first thing that came handy, a fold of her dressing gown," Kelly formu-lated it slowly. "And then it oc-curred to her that the stain would be a hard thing to get rid of. She couldn't count on anything she had to clean it with ..." "She grabbed that gun instinctive-ly and cleaned it before she real-ized that if those smudges were dis-covered matters would be worse than ever," Kelly continued. "So she took the boldest course and as it turned out the safest one. We're not far from Fisherman's Wharf, Cherry; how about an oyster stew?" CHAPTER XVI "This is the first I've heard of this," said the old woman, in a voice of desperate resignation. "I only knew of it myself yester-day. I'd put them in a place that seemed absolutely safe. They fer-reted them out." Cherry had finished. She went to take the chair opposite the older Mrs. Marshbanks at the fire. "Hello, everyone!" Kelly Coates stood in the doorway. Cherry's heart gave a great spring, began to tremble with fear and pain. Oh, she did not want to see Kelly this morning, not after Fran's story of the letters, not after the wonderful day he and she had had together at Topcote! She would have escaped, but there was no escape. He came in, greet-ing Fran and old Mrs. Marshbanks and Gregory, catching Cherry's hand as he stood beside her, but with no other look or greeting, and spoke at once of Amy's elopement He hoped it had not too much dis-tressed her grandmother. "'I don't know any good of him!" Mrs. Marshbanks said of Count Go-g-visibly touched by Kelly's solici-tude in spite of her stiff manner. "At all events, Amy is a deter-mined young lady and knows her own mind. She may mold him into just the husband she wants," Kelly said comfortingly. And then to Fran:- - "You telephoned that you wanted to see me about some-thing?" "Could we talk for a few minutes, Kelly?" Fran asked, rising. "Some- - thing has happened. Cherry heard her say as they went away together, "and I don't know how serious it may be." Cherry's own heart sick with ap-prehension, she went through the gloomy big halls up to her own room a few minutes later. It seemed to Cherry that life would never be right and happy again. She was try-ing to master her tears when May came in with the message that Mr. Coates would like to see her a mo-ment. Kelly looked at her a moment, then squared her gently about with his big hands and asked her why she had been crying. "I've felt so horrible!" Cherry faltered, fresh tears welling in her eyes. She could not face him. "What about Marchioness? Nerves? Is all this beginning to get you?" "Oh, Kelly, I'm so wretched about those letters! I knew of course I knew," Cherry faltered, "that you were fond of Fran; I knew that just as soon as I met her, or you! But it hurts me so it hurts me so when I was so happy thinking that you and I would be together to have this happen now! To have the police get them and the newspa-pers; it spoils everything!" "Why does it spoil everything?" he asked gravely, still holding her lightly with both hands behind her shoulders. "Look at me. Cherry. This doesn't spoil anything. Do you mean that you don't want to come to Sausalito now?" She smiled up at him through tears. "Oh, Kelly, but it makes it all so horrid!" she said, even though hope was dawning in her voice. "Cherry, you just said that you knew I'd cared or that at one time some months ago, I thought I was crazy about Fran. I never asked her to come to Sausalito and run me; I never thought of her doing any such thing." "And you really don't think there's anything dangerous in those let-ters?" Cherry asked on a long sigh. "I know there isn't. What gets me is that she thinks there is." "It's clearing. Cherry. Get on your coat and rubbers and tie something over your head. We'll go for a walk." "If I can keep my feet on the ground!" she said, adding in a long-ing tone, "Oh, Kelly, it'll be so good to get out of this house some day and into the free, open air and to forget everything that's gone on here!" "Don't you think sometimes of the fact that if things had gone just a little differently you might be a rich woman.. Marchioness?" he asked, as they walked along the wet sidewalks, leaning against the wind. "No; I never thought of it, really. I wouldn't want it. I'll fee so rich as your wife, Kelly." Cherry said, "'that it would just be a bother to me. Just to be over there, alone with you." she continued, gestur-ing towards the far hills, "there's no money in the world that could tempt me to give up a minute of it!" "It's going to be a great adven-ture," Kelly said, "It's going to be heaven! I can't believe it yet." They paced along together, fac-ing the wind. "Oh, I'd forgotten, what with Amy and everything," Cherry said sud-denly. "Yesterday when I was in Fran's room, and she was showing me the overnight case that the po- lice had broken open when they got your letters, she went into the bath-room to take a shower and while she was there the wind blew in through her closet and I went to to close the window and one of her dress-ing gowns blew against my hand and Kelly she'd wiped a pistol bar-rel on it! No mistake. Grease and gunpowder, and it was all puckered up . . ." "What are you talking about?" the man demanded, interrupting "Fran had wiped the barrel of a revolver on one of her dresses?" "One of those negligees she wears And that was what she had on when she ran downstairs that night when we'd all heard the judge shouting and we all ran to our doors. The minute I saw it I remembered it although I'd forgotten it until then " "Forgotten what?" "That that negligee was what she had on." "But someone would have seen her if she'd picked up the gun " "Not necessarily. We were all so franticl But. Kelly," Cherry went on impressively, laying a gloved "Oh, Kelly, I'm starving!" She laughed her old joyous laugh as he caught her arm tightly in his. and they went along together at a walk that was almost a run. The restaurant was as plain as coarse linen and cheap chairs could make it. but the fragrance of the boiling crab kettles outside scented the place appetizingly. "Honestly, Kelly, is there one chance in the world Fran did it?" the girl presently said. "I don't think so. I'd swear she didn't have the nerve. But it strikes me it's seemed to me all along that her position is that of someone who knows something, or thinks she does; she's protecting someone. But who? Amy? The old lady? I don't know . . Here are our oysters." "It's just one o'clock." Cherry said, "and I think I'll telephone home that I'm not coming." When she came back she sank into her chair, gripping the table, trying to speak. "Cherry, what is it? What's the matter?" Kelly stammered, catch-ing at her hands. "It was Mullins," she whispered They want us to come straight home She said-- she said she and Jud had quarreled over you. Fran has confessed!" When they went out onto the wharf ookmg for a taxi. Cherry held Kel-ly s hand tightly. "Fran's confessed, eh?" he said more than once. "I wonder what ftat means? Why does she drag me m- She knows darned well that whatever she's up to I'm not in it." But--she could say you were!" Yes, but that's not enough."

"Of course she did." "You you comfort me by just anything!" Cherry said, laughing with wet lashes. She seat-ed herself in a big fireside chair, and Kelly came to sit on the broad arm, holding tight to her hand. "Let's have it What about the letters?" "She had them, Kelly. And a day or so ago the police found them." "So what?" "So what?" she echoed dazedly, "Can't they use them, Kelly? Can't they make it seem that perhaps if you loved her . . . ?" "Why," Kelly said, "what on WEEKLY NEWS ANALYSIS Hard-Foug- ht Battle for Air Supremacy Holds Key to Control of North Africa; Italians Fret Over British Air Raids; Gains in New Guinea Mark Pacific War (EDITOR'S NOTE: When opinions are expressed In these columns, they are those of Western Newspaper Union's news analysts and not necessarily of this newspaper.) i Released by Western Newspaper Union. STRATEGY: A'azis First Much interest throughout the Unit-ed Nations has long centered on the broad or general plan for defeating the Axis. Always there have been theories advanced which often seem to have little basis in fact. Others again have a highly legitimate tone. One of the most recent explana-tions of such strategy, and one of more plausible presentations of it is that advanced by Prime Minister John Curtin of Australia. In a cur-rent statement he declared that President Roosevelt and Winston Churchill decided even before the fall of Singapore (February 15, 1942) that the most necessary job was to beat Hitler and then take after Japan. Thus the campaign in the South Pacific and on the Australian con-tinent becomes one of a "holding" action. He warned his countrymen that they might have to endure strong air and e attack from the Japanese forces based on the island of Timor. He urged them to further prepare themselves for such action. He pointed out that the closest exists between the Aus-tralian government, General Mac-Arth-and Admiral Chester Nimitz, commander of the U. S. Seet in the Pacific. CANNED FOOD: New Restrictions America's housewives are finding less and less use for their can open-ers. Many canned foodstuffs are elimi-nated for civilian consumption for the duration upon a new order of the War Production board. The order was designed to save large quanti-ties of tin, steel and rubber for war purposes. The saving in rubber would be made through fewer truck deliveries under the reduced output program. Canned foods henceforth eliminat-ed include apples, applesauce, apri- - ai null mi mwmttyrw-nxi- i' J?.. pTj'w-f,w-v- l . ;fS . . . J L v r i. , i - i r,l United States soldiers cross a stream In the Gona-Bun- a area of New Guinea. The occupation of Gona by Allied forces, directed by General MacArthur, left the Japanese pinned down in a narrow strip of coast in the Buna area, 12 miles south. JAP DEFEAT: In South Pacific When Allied forces, directed by General MacArthur, occupied the Gona area of New Guinea, the Japs lost the northern anchor of their beachhead in Pa-pua, which already has been badly sliced by veteran American and Australian jungle fighters. This new defeat left the Japs hemmed in a narrow coastal strip centering on the Buna area, 12 miles to the south. First announcement of the Gona victory was made by Prime Minister John Curtin, who gave the news as he was conducting a review of the war before the house of representa-tives in Canberra, Australia. His announcement was made 16 days after an Allied headquarters com-munique had announced the origi-nal Australian entry into Gona. The Japs had landed at Gona on July 22 and from that area launched their invasion drive which took them across the Owen Stanley mountain range to within 32 miles of the Al-lied base at Port Moresby. COMPLAINTS: From Italy "Why do the British bomb ,our towns now instead of German towns? After all it was the Ger-mans who bombed London." That was one of the many com-plaints reported originating in Italy during the past 30 days. d diplomatic quarters have re-ported g discontent in It-aly over the war. Mussolini's peo-ple are weary. They do not like the arrogance of their German Al-lies. Already they are dazed by re-peated British bombing attacks. And every Italian knows the imme-diate future is black. cots, numerous types of berries, grapefruit segments, orange juice, dehydrated vegetables, powdered skimmed milk, bacon and other meats, fruit for salad, okra, suc-cotash, various fruit juices, white asparagus, chili con carne, meat loaf, Vienna sausage, sausage in oil, frozen and storage cream, various fats, syrups and sea foods. CASUALTIES: Total War Well into the second year of World War II, U. S. citizens were ponder-ing the official announcements from Washington which reported for the armed forces during the first 12 months of the fighting. There were 58,307 such casualties in that period according to the Office ,of War In-formation. This total includes killed, wounded, missing, interned in neu-tral countries and prisoners of the army, navy, marine corps, coast guard, merchant marine and Philip-pine Scouts. War department reports showed that army casualties totaled 35,678 and of this number 2,009 (including 480 Philippine Scouts) were killed; 3,332 were wounded; and 29,000 (in-cluding 10,500 Philippine Scouts) are missing in the Philippines and the Dutch East Indies and 1,119 are missing elsewhere in action; 112 are prisoners of war, not including those missing in the Philippines; and 106 are interned in neutral countries. Six hundred and nine of the 3,332 wounded have returned to action. As the majority-o- the army's miss-ing were in the Philippines and Dutch East Indies, most of these are presumed to be prisoners of NORTH AFRICA: Air Battle Groivs Cheering word of Allied air strength in North Africa came from London and the Morocco radio as swarms of American and British planes in Tunisia provided cover for land operations. Press reports tell of ground com-manders telephoning for air cover-age "as casually as calling for a taxi." Chief battleground for the oppos-- 1 ing forces had been Tebourba, a strategic junction 20 miles west of Tunisia and 35 miles south of Bizerte. Here a series of rapid ac-tion tank battles took place, with the key town changing hands as battle fortunes shifted. Continuing efforts were made to extend and equip new airfields from which Allied planes could operate. Reports reaching the United States stressed the importance of the many American Commando transport planes now available. They are de-scribed as 50 per cent faster than the JU-52- s and are capable of mov-- 1 ing jeeps, small field guns and up to 98 soldiers. On the opposite side of Africa, the British Eighth army was report-ed allowing Marshal Rommel's army no rest in the El Agheila area. The official communique spoke of patrol and artillery action. British military sources in London had warned that the "real" offensive was not yet under way and that when the Eighth army strikes, the blows will leave no doubt as to its strength. RUSSIA: Central Front Although Nazi forces have been hard pressed in Russia, military ob-servers were quick to warn against undue optimism. Despite a grave strain on their communications, Ger-man forces were said to be showing no signs of faltering in defensible positions. Generally speaking, news was good. The Red army drove seven miles deeper into enemy lines on the central front near Velikie Luki, recapturing 13 settlements, while the Germans failed in their drive to regain the initiative on the Stalin grad front On the central front the Russians attacked with ski troopers support-ed by tanks painted white. This front extends northwest of Moscow, roughly from Rzhev to Velikie Luki. Russian reports said the Nazis were trying not only to smash the Soviet offensive but also to start one of their own, evidently in the belief that the Red army is exhaust-ed after their continuous attack. But the same sources also report that Italy has little chance of break-ing away from German domination and seeking a separate peace. A steady stream of German air, anti-aircraft and land forces, all under Gestapo supervision, is pouring into Italy. Most of the land forces are said to have been drawn from the few reserves in Germany. Russia's new offensive makes withdrawals from the Eastern front practically impossible. The almost incessant bombing of Turin, northern Italian industrial center, continued unabated. The smoke and fire of one raid was not dissipated before another wave of British bombers returned to spread new destruction. It was evi-dent that the RAF did not intend to give city authorities even time to restore public utilities. war. Navy department officials said that they had reported or were in the process of reporting to the next of kin 22,629 casualties for the year. Broken down here is the picture: Navy dead, 4,532; wounded, 1,579; missing, 8,636. Marine corps dead, 1,129; wounded, 1,413; missing, 1,926. Coast Guard dead, 40; wounded, 11; missing, 119. Merchant IVX'arine dead, 482; wounded, none; missing, 2,762. According to Japanese and Ger-man figures 3,138 U.'S. civilians are interned, said the OWI report. COIN: May Avert Shortages 1 If mint officials have their way new coins may jingle in your pockets some day in the not distant future. Officials asked authority to make such coins in case the copper short-age becomes so acute that there won't be enough pennies. The house passed legislation authorizing the new coin and returned it to the sen-ate for action. Director of the Mint Nellie Tayloe Ross has asked the nation's school children to undertake a "help win the war" campaign by putting idle ' coins, especially pennies and pieces, to work meeting business de-mands, and thus save many tons of vital metals. DETROIT LABOR: Approximately 660,000 essential war workers in the Detroit area have been frozen to their jobs in an order by Montague A. Clark, Michigan director of the War Manpower commission. The order lists 34 categories in which employees may not change jobs without specific government authorization. It affects nearly two-thir-of the area's gainfully em-- ployed workers. It includes workers at the Willow Run bomber plant, and other plants throughout the region. The order, Clark said, was intend-ed primarily to prevent labor pirat-ing and production dislocations caused by shifting of workers to jobs that pay more. The order specifically directs em-ployers to "refuse to hire or solicit workers from other essential indus-tries within the area unless the ap-plicant presents a certificate of re-lease from his former employer or from the review unit of the U. S. Employment Service." The order provides both employee and employer with the right to ap-peal.

Up until stricter measures were taken to guard against spies, saboteurs or traitors one pass, that admitting the bearer to the White House, would get newsmen almost any-where they wanted to go. NEW ORLEANS: Andrew J. Hig-gin- s, shipbuilder extraordinary, is definitely going to build 1,200 cargo planes for the U. S. army. Contract for this number of aircraft was signed some time ago and the planes are to be built largely of metals. ALGIERS: U. S. doughboys in Africa are now getting a weekly edi-tion of their own newspaper, the Stars and Stripes. This North Afri-can edition is the product of com-bined efforts of the London staff of the Stars and Stripes in Britain and the staff of Yank, army magazine. WASHINGTON: A bill to grant flat pay increases of 15 to 20 per cent to federal workers in lower sal-ary brackets was pigeonholed by the senate civil service committee. The committee agreed to support a measure allowing time and a half overtime pay for work beyond 40 hours a week. The sidetracked nasure would have provided in-creases of 20 per cent on all sal-aries up to $2,100 and 15 per cent on higher salaries with a proviso that on a salary above $2,900 the 15 per cent would apply only to the first $2,900. , CHICAGO: Three Nazi sympa-thizers, under sentence to die Janu-ary 22, were granted a stay of exe-cution while the U. S. circuit court of appeals studies the findings of their recent trial. They are Hans Max Haupt, father of Herbert Haupt, executed Nazi saboteur; Otto R. Wergin and Walter O. Froehling, friends of the Haupt family. LONDON: Continuance of the German reign of terror in Bohemia and Moravia was charged by the exiled Czech government, a spokes-man for which said that 35 more Czechs had been executed by the Nazis. Twenty-nin- e men were shot on one day for allegedly possessing arms and explosives and participat-ing in anti-Na- activities, the Czech spokesman said. Six Czechs accused of being ringleaders in a sabotage and terror gang were executed in Prague. In Jugoslavia one official report said that guerrilla warriors had retaken almost half of that country. RENO: Thousands of acres of valuable Nevada rangeland, burned over by disastrous summer fires are being reseeded by a U. S. airplane. Clyde Bryant, an employee of the Bureau of Entomology, is specially trained for the dangerous job of a task that is more hazard-ous than the highly publicized job of airplane Flying never more than 15 feet above the ground in his specially built plane. Bryant sows one ton of seed per hour, covering the ground at the rate of two to three pounds per acre.
