• TARIFFS -The White House is concerned about the outcome of
the President’s tariff-cutting program which reaches the House floor
next week.
The bill, which grants the President power to negotiate new tariff-
cutting agreements with other countries for three more years after
June 30, cleared the House ways and means committee, 20-5, this
week.

"Ke government plans to take in about $8.7 billion dollars for the
various trust accounts - old age and survivors, railroad retirement and
Uthers—and will still have about $2.9 billion left at the end of the
vear after paying expenses and pensions.
The Treasury department feels that there is no safer investment
for anybody’s money than government bonds, so the trust fund cash
is invested in bonds, in effect-lent to the government.
This adds to the national debt, of course, but it also makes it tin-
necessary for the administration to borrow from the banks to pay
its day-to-day expenses.
' The extra $558 million could even be used to pay off that much of
existing debt held by banks, corporations, and private persons, and
thus, contract the money supply a little. .
• SECURITY—President Eisenhower may take a dramatic step to
help establish a bi-partisan policy on security matters. Informed
sources say he may name one or more influential Democrats to high
government positions, possibly in the Cabinet.
Likeliest spot, these sources state, is in the Defense department,
where an opening may be made for a responsible Democrat as secre-
CHAPTER TWO
THE THING Andrus was looking
for was the silver flask Regina Pel-
ham had given him the day before
they were to have been married.
He had been sure of finding it. It
wasn’t in the topcoat or the suit
he had worn up the river to jail.
It wasn’t in his room in the Wolf
Hill inn when he left it to start on
that journey. His volatile, vivacious
aunt, Jude Carmody, had arrived
as he finished packing. Jude had
taken charge of the bag, no longer
volatile and gay, but white faced
and sad. "I tried to get here before,
Jim, but your uncle is very ill. I'm
sorry.”
He had been almost a year in jail
when the first doubt entered his
mind. The blank he had pulled was
not quite complete. It had very
gradually thinned in a couple of
roots. One spot was concerned with
the silver flask. He had handled the
flask after he left the inn on the
night young Roger had been killed.
There were pictures attached to
the flask, the picture of a tossing
motion. He had been going to
throw the flask somewhere. There
were sounds, too, the sound of a
voice, peevish, complaining. “Come
on now, you don’t want to do a
thing like that.”
A thing like what ? He had built
on the flask's telling him when he
looked at it, handled it again. They
said that he bad got out of bed,
driven over to the Pelham house,
killed Roger, driven back to the
inn and had Mien fallen Into a
drunken stupor behind the wheel
until morning. There was more to
it than that. He had done other
things. He had hoped that the sight
of the flask would widen the gap,
bring back those other things . . .
Odd that it wasn’t in the bag. It
certainly hadn’t been left in that
inn bedroom and Jude had brought
the bag here the next day and put
It in his locker downstairs. No one
could get it there . . . Who would
want to? Besides, if it were a
question of pilfering, why take the
flask and leave the rings, which
were much more valuable?
Andrus got heavily off the bed
and went into the bathroom and
took a shower and changed Into
other clothes.

Jm Andrus had served a prison term
for the vehicular slaying of eight-year-
old Ruger Pelham, whose lovely
mother, Regina Pelham, Jim had been
about to wed. Overindulgence during

Andrus’ mind, and he had awakened
next morning to find th lad dead in
the driveway of lite Pelham home in
a suburb of New York. Unmistakably.
