as they did in France. Norway and
Belgium Nazis and Fascists are
working together. They have the
same objectives—the overthrow of
our form of government.
"When Russia was recognized.'*
she went on. "it brought back the
| famous communist. Erna Goodman
and others from Germany and
France. The communist paper
The Daily Worker with over a mil-
lion readers advocates doing away
with our Tree constitutional form
of government. Disarm America
they say as they did in Belgium
and Norway Radicals are on the
; job day and night. We are asleep.
"Their subversive teachings have
reached our schools and churches
where the situation is worst of all.
Here the humanitarian appeal has
been strong blinding our misguid-
ed teachers and ministers to the
true situation. Communistic mate-
rial designed to arouse racial
'trouble has been found to be wide-
ly distributed among the negroes"
Mrs. Weaver closed her address
by telling of the bill now pending
in Congress which would outlaw
the Communist Party and the
German-American Bund. •Amer-
ica’ she said “is slowly awakening.

throw of the American form of

tion and national quota policies;
registration Of interna tonal organ-
isations. The DAR opposes. Mrs.

CHAPTER XXIV
gUE MARY hung up the receiver
and leaned forward over her
typewriter resting her shaking
arms on the carriage. Word from
the hospital was not encouraging
but at least Joe was alive.
“Mr. Stefanski regained con-
sciousness for a few moments” a
nurse told her sympathetically.
“He asked for you and then went
off again. The doctors think they
may operate: relieve the pressure.
If they do. It will probably be to-
night. You can call later or if
anything comes up suddenly we’ll
let you know.”
“But I could see him—*
“You can see him bjt he won’t
know you” the nurse explained.
“And you can't stay for more
than a few seconds. Mr. Stefan-
ski needs absolute quiet now. But
you mustn't worry.”
The hands of the office clock
seemed to fly now that she knew
the doctors were to take some
definite action on Joe's case. Be-
fore that time had dragged; now
each minute was precious and
time flew. She couldn't work.
She couldn’t think. She Anally
told Miss Grant her head ached
and she wanted to leave early.
At the hospital she stood quiet-
ly in Joe s room looking down
at his white face the shock of
blond hair showing beneath the
bandage; at his hands so big so
capable and now so helplessly
limp on the sheet.
She wanted to touch them.
Wanted to lean forward and kiss
his lips but the nurse was beside
her murmuring that a doctor was
coming in to change the dressing
and she must go.

CUE MARY went across the
° street to a little park and sat
on a bench until her trembling
egs could carry her back to the
apartment. She picked up a paper
someone had discarded and stared
at the headlines.
“G-men investigate alleged sub-
versive group” she read. In an
eastern city an inquiry was being
made by Department of Justice
officials in an effort to stamp out
possible fifth columnists.

She nodded her head in agree-
ment. “Yes I can imagine that
You see that’s why l hated to
come. I might be wrong too.
“Only—well I didn't dare wait
any longer. Something is to hap-
pen tonight. These people—I
think they are doing something
that will hurt the government and
—nice people here in town. May-
be I'm wrong but an organiza-
tion I belong to has a strange plat-
form. I didn't know what it was
all about. But I do now. And
I'm beginning to wonder. It’s
called the Yeuth Progress Group."
“Youth Progress—" he repeat-
ed slowly. “Maybe you had bet-

Progress Group of count” ha \
said. “We've never been entirely
satisfied. We know their candi-
date for governor if radical and
that the platform is one that
would never go over in this coun-
try. But we are also sura they
can't win in this election. Not
unless a miracle should happen.
But anyway tell me what you
know.**
She told him. Slowly tha whola
picture came out
“I didn’t think much about it
until I heard Nick and Vera plan-
ning to get the papers that young
Mr. Ross Clark will have at the
office tonight. He's not like hia
father. Young Mr. Clark I mean.
He's stupid and in debt and easily
led.
“Nick and Vera mean to uso
the information to hurt Governor
Russell Miller. And they believe
it will be enough to hurt the
whole campaign platform. De-
stroy the people's faith and help
their own cause.
“And then—then—* she added
“there's the picket line at Smith-
son. Nick's mixed up in that
too. I saw his picture in the pa-
per. He’s trying to keep the trou-
ble going on out there. 1 know
that.
“The YP insist we don't need
to spend money on national de-
fense. They keep talking it and
printing it in their paper. And
they mean to hinder production
whenever they can.
“And Joe—my fiance—was hurt
at the factory. He's in the hos-
pital now. He was hit on the
head when coming from the plant.
Maybe—maybe he’ll die.
“You cant let things like that
go on. Those people are danger-
ous—” She was crying now and
frantic lest he not understand and
believe her.
“So that’s their game. There
have been so many things to
check on these last few month*
that we haven't been able to do
as much investigating as we
would like." Flanagan’s voice was
calm comforting.
“We know about this Nick
Alexander: a young fellow with
a leftist turn. There are so many
of them: blind dissatisfied led by
smarter older men who can mold
them into tools.”
He came around the desk and
gave her his handkerchief. “Now
don't worry. Well clean the
whole thing up. You go to the
office tonight just as Nick wants.
And let him go through with hit
plan.”
Flanagan smiled and patted her
hand. “Not frightened are you?”
“No—now that 1 know what to
do.”
