There was nothin;’ to take. Grace said that the last time she saw the gloves they vkeie in the pocket of Delia’s uni form. Thai was about 2 or 2 o’clock, yesterday. It seems to me that *vhon Delia undressed, they would remain there.” Larrabee smiled. ‘•Unless, Mrs. Penny, Delia re moved the gloves and put them soy, under her pillow, or something hke that. On the bed. In her hands, if Hemingway was the light of Delia's life, as Grace says, isn't it *johable that because they were Ids gloves, she would keep them near Ser? 1 think ii's reasonable to con etude that Delia Randall took the oijyts from the pocket of her dress when she undressed, carried the gloves to bed with her, perhaps for got them when site heard a knock at the door, and then when she got up. the gloves fell to the floor and re mained there until we found Pena, later. The gloves were on the floor near the head of the bed, a queer place for them to he.” “it sounds logical." “1 like your mind. Mrs. Penny, it responds ’quickly. Thanks for the information ah<» t the gloves. Grace Mdd nothing to me last night about tfceiii when i talked with her, and nothing ihout Martin Hemingway. Now. then, is that all you talked about to t Srace in the trunk room? My mat! said you were in there for three-quarters of an hour.” “That's all.

Died two years ago. in Europe. Uu.-nand is still abroad. Nothing de veloped from this lead.” Larrabee thanked him shortly end turned io me. "Are you sure that was ail js.net told you. Mrs. Penny ? "Quite sure, and she didn’t kill either Andrew Darien or Delia!” I couldn't help flaring up on that. He was lor,King at rne so queeriy. “You're very trusting, Mrs. Penny That's the only thing that’s wrong with join logic. You Jet your heart sway you. Very had in this busi ness ” "But I’m not in your business, Kirk Larrabee!” “True, you’re not. but you’ve got a wonderful knack of making peopls liim you. You’ve got a God-given faculty for getting information out of people because they like and trust you You're wasting your time keep ing a hoarding house.

The chie f executive included in his budget $2,3-17,171,632 for government al activities that have heretofore been closed entirely as relief and recovery expenditures. This included a $-105,000,000 fede ral public works program: $619,3-17,000 ; for the agricultural adjustment ad- j ministration, $220,000,000 for the civi- ; ban conservation corps and $1,102,- ! 824,632 for continuing PVVA projects already underway. With the exception of the money for the AAA, these funds will chiefly go to provide work relief next year. The $1,102,62-1,632 is money already | appropirated and allocated. Most of it will be used to continue the works program of former years. The Presiden t ' included public works proney and QCC fipn|s : in his regular budget, as permanent rather than emergency government |ie said the public works cash tyoaid ail go for federal projects' and thiiat the loan and grant system of public?, works would be liquidated ex cept for the PWA’s revolving fund. Explaining the budget to news papermen, the President said he had no idea how much he would eventu ally ask to continue the WPA. He emphasized in his message to Congress, however, thai to achieve his objective, of a smaller deficit in 1937, than |fr 1936. The WPA fund would have id be less than $2,136,000,000. “I do not anticipate that the nded for additional relief funds will be as ; great; as that hum,” he said, lip To Industry Using less formal words in describe ing tjie situation to corresponderfts, the cjiicf executive said that $21136,- 000,000 was a kitty or leeway for the work relief problem, without increasing the deficit. In his message, he suggested thdt one purpose of delaying decision oh relief funds might he to emphasize to •industry that the extent to which the was balanced depended upon how well it provided work for the job less. , Discussing possibilities for a bal anced budget, he said final success would depend on “efforts put forth by the employers of the United States [greatly to increase the number of per sons employed by them.” Two months from now, he will be in a better position to estimate re lief needs for next year. But he in dicated he would wait as long as he could without extending the session of Congress. His suggestion of two months was based upon an estimate that a month would he necessary for aetjon. He assumed Congress would still be here April 1. There was no mention of new ap propriations for low cost housing, de spite Secretary lekes’ support of the hillion-dollar program advanced by Senator Wagner (D. N. Y.) Only enough funds were included to com plete this year’s $100,000,000 program. The $105,000,000 new public works funds was divided specifically among tered or not. He might be making fun of me. “1 know these people, that's why they tel! me things ” 1 said, slowly. “No, it isn’t that. I think you could gel the confidence of a hard boiled longshoreman if you really set out to do it. What else did Janet lel I you, Mrs. Penny?” Flattering rne so I’d tell him! I wasn't going to, of course, but I was utterly unprepared when lie tossed a telegram on my iap. I read it care fully, every word of it. It was ad dressed to him.

I had to sit down again, worried ail through, wonder ing what was coming next. Poor Janet. The blow had fallen. Larrabee tapped tne yellcsv teL gram with his pen. “I’m not hunting L-cu.k robbers, Mrs. Fenny.

Even the new high level of “regu lar’’ expenditures, it was said, would leave a $5,000,000 surplus of revenue (before relief costs) as a result of “increased earning power and profits throughout the nation and not from the new taxes imposed” last summer. In defense of new deal financial policies, Mr. Roosevelt added: , “The credit of the government is at its highest. “The average business men of the nation stand rqady to do their shaie. “It is to be hoped that the motives ■ and attacks which spring only from • the desire for political or financial ! power on the part of the few will not ’ retard the steady progress we are r making. “Our policy is succeeding.

Perhaps he thought she had some »f the stolen money, or could get it, and demanded a share of it to keep silent. Perhaps he wanted something else. That's very possible. “The whole crux of my case against Janet lies on the time she found the note under iter door. If site found it right after dinner, site would have had the opportunity t® take the carving knife from Hie din ing room buffet, wait until Darien went to his room, go in and kill him. The note was put under tier door immediately after dinner. Darien went upstairs alone, but came right down again. Hemingway was with him when lie went up again at It. and Darien went right into his own room. “Therefore, he didn’t put the note under the door then, lie must have done it when tie went up liie first time. Hemingway thinks that Darien never left his room from II to 11:30. And so! Janet goes up stairs after dinner, after Darien’s trip, mind you. finds tlie note, reads it, burns it. comes downstairs, goes into (ho dining room, steals the knife, makes another trip upstairs—for she did go upstairs twice before she finally retired —bides the knife. Later she goes to Darien’s room, carrying the knife, it all fits ” “It can’t tit.” I protested. “Why should she steal a knife when she already had one —her dagger?” "Beamiful. Mrs. Penny. J didn’t know whether you’d see lhe flaw in my case or not, Janet had a knife, this one.” lie picked up ltie dagger. “It’s rather small, and perhaps Janet didn't think it would do Hie work. After all it isn’t a large knife, and it is dull. It might not kill at one blow. She was sure of the carv ing knife. It would do an assassin’s job. See?” “Why would she kill Deila, too?” “That’s what I don’t know, Mrs. Penny. That’s where the very high brick wall is standing in my mind. I can't climb over it. Janet doesn’t seem to lit as a girl with homicidal tendencies. She seems normal—l can understand her distress now that I know about her brother and nis escape from jail before his trial. She naturally would be greatly alarmed. I can explain that, and I can bu: ! .d up £. pretty fair reason why she would want Andrew Darien out of the way, but I can’t explain the ruthless killing of Delia by ascribing it to Janet. She only knew her as a maid in the house. “There are two things that might account for it—one. that Janet is a killer, which her entire attitude and makeup belie, and the other is that Delia might have learned from Darien about Janet's brother.

His "budget school for reporters,” popping with ques tions and answers, lasted more than two hours. Secretary Morgenthau, Daniel Bell, acting budget director, and other aides were at the President’s side. Re partee mingled with the business at hand. In his partial relief budget, Mr. Roosevelt estimated a $1,103,000,000 carryover from 1936’s billions of relief money. By deducting the estimated $5,000,- 000 surplus, representing the differ ence between iqcome and “regular” expenditures, he arrived at the par tial estimate of the 1937 deficit— SL -098,000,000. This compared with an estimated $3,234,000,000 deficit at the end of the current fiscal year on June 30- a difference of $2,136,000,000.. Mr. Roosevelt’s nearest hint of hovit much future relief requests may be jwas: “I do not anticipate that the need for additional relief funds Will be as great as that sum $2,136,000,000). “To state the case even more pre cisely, the gross deficit of the gov ernment in 1934 was $3,989,000,000; in 1935 $3,575,000000; in 1936 (estimate) $3,234,000,000; and in 1937 (estimated hut not including any new appropria tions for work relief), $1,098,000,000. “Therefore, it is clear xxxx that luveiiis “Third Eye” Dr. V. K. Zworykin and his “elee -5 tron telescope” ivljich, with the elec -1 tHAiHuhe’ irivehted hy him, supplies t man with a “third eye” enabling j him to see in the dark. Dr. Zwory kin and his associate inventor, Dr;' George A, Morton, demonstrated their discovery at St. Louis science! t convention. ! < Central Prnt) since June 30, 1934, the gross deficit og the government '.show’s a steady decrease during the f iscal years 1935 and 1936. x x x J “Therefore, it follow!i that by what ever amount the appropriation for work relief at tljis session is less than $2,136,000,000, the greiss deficit for 1937 will be less than ;.the deficit for 1936 by the same amount.” Burden Upon Business In withholding final relief figures, Mr. Roosevelt noted thafc| ultimate sue cess in balancing income' l and outlays “will depend, of course, on the strength of efforts put .forward by the employers of the United States greatly to increase the number of persons employed by theni.” .While the absence of requests for new taxes was stressed, the , President included two reservations: 1. He repeated that if processing taxes are invalidated by the Supreme Court, “we will have to face the prob lem of financing existing contracts for benefit payments out of some form of new taxes,” 2. If Congress votes expenditures outside of budget estimates, “1 strong ly urge that additional taxes lie pro vided to cover such charges. ; “It is important as we emerge from the depression that no new activities lie added to the government unless provisions is made tor additional re venue to meet their cost.” Asked whether this position applied to the cash bonus issue, the Presi January’s Supreme Sav ings Event Is Under Way!

Improvement Expected Especially evidencing expected bus ines improvement was a forecast that 1937 income tax collections would in crease half a billion over 1930 s esti mated $1,434 000,000. The New Deal policy adopted in 1933 “to stop the downward econo mic spiral,” the President said, was “predicated on two inter-dependent beliefs. “First, the measures .would imme diately cause a. great increase rn the annual expenditures of the govern ment —many of these expenditures, hwoever, in Hie form ol loans which would ultimately return to the Treas ury. “Second, as a result of the simultan eous attack on the many fronts I have indicated, the receipts of the gov ernment would rise definitely and pharply \duning the following few years, while greatly increased expen diture for the purposes stated, coup- i led with rising values and the stop ping of los5«-s would, ovt i period of years, dim nish the need or work re lief and thereby redm federal ex penditnr -s.

Aside from .a general revenue rise based on business improvement, the 15)37 total included $547,000,000 of so cial ..security, rail pension and Guffey coal law taxes. Gross outlays for 1937 —including Hie $1,108,000,000 carryover for relief, but not additional demands to be es timated later—were put at $6,752,- 606,370. This compared with $7,645,- 301,338 for 1936. Where Increases Go The public debt estimate for next June 30 was $30,933,375,017. Last January it was forecast at s3s 000,000.
