the new leader of the Labor Party
la Qraat Britain, haa announced he will pay a visit to
Kuala, bat only after he visits Washington. This Is not
a vary encouraging sign, and seems to smack of politi-
cal tones which are both naive and (or) unsoundly
oriented.
Wilson’s trip to the United States is a welcome
(me but his follow-up trip to Russia is as if we were a-
greeing with those critics who argue that both the Unit-
ed States and Russia have equal alms and are both al-
most equally rough In their pursuit of them.
The British over the years have had a long line of
appeasers, and the most famous was Neville Chamber-
lain, who also thought he could work out a deal with
another totalitarian state.
One only hopes that Wilson is not the latest, and
while it Is too early to say that he will be sold a bill of
goods, or be taken In by a warm Russian reception, that
danger Is there until Wilson himself proves he is tough
enough, and discerning enough, to hold the line on thej
vital Western principles and policies under the temp-1
tatlons and propaganda and cunning falsehoods which j
always accompany Communist diplomacy.

Nazis In Germany
That there are still Nazis in Germany is an undis-
puted fact. That most of them like to operate with their
past kept in the background is also correct. The one
burning question for Americans in Germany, and for
many Germans, and for all the world, in fact, is: “How
many of these unreconstructed Nazis are there in Ger-
many, and how much power do they hold?”
A doctor in Wuerzburg recently uncovered a nest of
former Nazis, all in high positions of power, including
a Judge, and by fighting a battle in the public press and
by persisting so much that he almost gave up his prac-
tice, he managed to turn the spotlight on these former
creatures of Nazlism and have them routed out of their
places of power.
Americans find it hard to understand how a man
who had been in this Job in the Nazi regime would be
bold enough to run for membership in parliament. The

mental poison, to physically reequip a new totaliarian

glory. It always seems to happen In Europe.
Why Soviet Hove On Berlin?
The Soviet Union has been attempting to drive a
wedge between the major capitalist powers for many
years. Those who are wondering why the 8oviets re-
cently reopened the Berlin question, at a time when
relations between Moscow and Washington seemed to
be moving toward some relaxation after the tense crisis
over Cuba last year, can find the answer, in part, to this
question in Moscow’s tactics on Berlin.
The present rift In the Western alliance Is one
between Paris and Washington, basically. This has be-
come a major obstacle to Western unity because Presi-
dent Charles de Gaulle has managed to capture West
Germany from the United States, as his solid and closely
linked ally.
U. S. experts believe De Gaulle really cares little
what happens In West Berlin. The Germans who in- j
-habit Berlin are East Germans, in a sense, to De Gaulle.
Of tough talk and a tough Gaulle.
But he has won the admiration of many Germans
by adopting the tough line — “Why talk?”
The latest Soviet overture, gives Paris another op-
portunity te exploit the unpopularity of the State De-
partment’s policies on possible Berlin concessions and
negotiations. It gives France a chance to solidify her
lihk With Bonn, and to further alienate the Bonn-Wash-
infW»h pardnership. which was so unshakeable for so
many years after World War II.

The victories gave the GOP
two state senatoi-s out of a tot-

Florida Republicans termed
the election "the dawn of a poli-
tical renaissance" in the state

people want a two-party system
and that the GOP can be expec-
ted to provide it both on the

The GOP National Committee
hailed the results as a “major

that will fire the forces of good

CHAPTER 16
JILL BELLAMY wore a white
f chiffon dress, classically sim-
ple in appearance but cut by a
great dressmaker and, she ad-
mitted to herself, wickedly ex-
pensive. Nonetheless, as she
turned slowly before the mir-
ror that evening, she was glad
that she had bought it.
It set off perfectly her bare
shoulders and arms tanned by
the sun, her auburn hair with
red lights In tt. She covered
the bum on her arm with a
disguising cream so that lt was
hardly noticeable.
She fastened a small pearl
necklace around her slim throat
and slid over her shoulders a
brief cape of summer ermine.
Chester Bennett was waiting
at the foot of the stairs. As Jill
came down he made her a low
courtly bow and she swept him
a deep curtsy.
Mr. Bennett came out of the
living room. “The Queen of
Hearts,” he declared. “But what
poor creature with you?" He
seemed to have regained his
customary good humor.
“The Joker,” she laughed,
taking Chester’s arm.
For a moment Bennett's hand
rested lightly on his sons
shoulder. "Have fun." he said,
"and bring her back safe, Ches-
ter."
"Bring 'em back alive,"
Chester said “That s my motto.
You can trust me for that.”

ton properties. Dan Holt was
waiting on the porch for them
and he ram down the steps to
meet them.
"Where’s Denise?" Chester
asked.
Dan gave him a sardonic
look. “Waiting, to make an ef-
fective entrance after the audi-
ence has assembled, If I Know
my fair cousin."
Apparently he did, for the
front door was flung open and
Denise stood for a moment
framed in the brightly lighted
entrance, looking out at them.
She wore a gold sheath gown,
gold slippers, and there was a
gold jeweled pin In her nair,
which was piled high on her
head in soft gold curls.
Then she came forward, hold-
ing out both hands In a pretty
but calculated gesture of greet-
ing. “Am J late?” she asked.
Chester looked down ador-
ingly into the big blue eyes. He
gulped. "Just in time. Just
right.”
Denise's eyes flickered to
Jill’s white dress. She smiled
brilliantly. “How wise you are
to wear those simple styles,
Gillian. They suit you.”
Dan grinned. "It’s your turn

When the outside door had
closed behind them. Jill said,
"Chester. I'm worried about
your father.”
"Why?” he asked with a
brusqueness that was unusual
for him.
"He seems — worried — both-
ered about something.
"Really, Jill, that Imagina-
tion of yours is getting out of
hand."
"It’s not my Imagination!”
she flared, stung by the amuse-
ment In his voice.
“No?”
For a moment she was

across the expanse of smooth j
lawn that almost made one
already filled except for
one on the edge of the dance
floor. The waiter whipped off
the RESERVED sign. A small
but excellent orchestra was
playing softly.
Following Dan's skillful lead,
Jill circled the room. They
passed their table, where, to
her surprise, Denise and
Chester still sat. They were
deep in conversation, their
headf close together. Dan took
a quick look at Jill, but the
radiance had not faded from
her face.
"She’s apt to have that effect

bespoke."
He pulled out her chair for
her and they joined the other
couple. The orchestra began a
slow tango with a throbbing,
Irresistible rhythm. Denise, who
had been watching the dancers
with sulky eyes, parted her lips
In amazement.
Across the dance floor swept
a striking couple. Little by lit-
tle the other dancers drew
back, watching them. They
moved like professionals. They
had, apparently, danced togeth-
er so often that they moved as
one person.
In a moment the restaurant
lights dimmed and a spotlight
followed them, the graceful
sinuous woman tn black, per
hair held In place by a high
Spanish comb, long dramatic
earrings: the man in white, the
short dinner jacket melding
broad, powerful shoulders.
"They’re wonderful,” Dan
said. “What an exotic-looking
woman.” t
“She looks like a gold-digger
to me,” Denise remarked spite-
fully. She laughed, her face
bright with malice. “If she is,
she's wasting her time.”
”1 doubt It,” Dan answered.
“He looks like quite a man to
me. though he could double for
that handsome chauffeur of
yours.”
“He Is qur chauffeur,” Denise
said sharply. “He Is also a tor-
tuna hunter.” She laughed
again. “But he’s got off on the
wrong track again, unless I
miss my bet.”
The music stopped, leaving
the couple beside their table.
As a wave of applause swept
over the room, Dentse said, her
voice clear and carrying. "Oh,
Peter. I'll be ready to leave
at twelve. Bring the car around
then.”
TVTEW YORK—When Samuel SeaJwry’s van.
X1 detta against Tammany Hall drew to %
vivid climax in August of 1932, in the “hall of
governors” of the Capitol Building lit Albany,
I was just out of high school, starting out al
a young sports writer and, at the age of IT,
looking into a more important matter—boot*
leg gin.
The climax lasted a month, or just short of
It, under the aegis of Gov. Franklin D. Roose-
velt, and when it was over. Jimmy Walker
*«*had resigned as mayor of New York City. I
didn't know a politician from a hole in the
ground—but I hated Samuel Sehbury. Callow
*' r?*<me. I felt he had destroyed a remarkable man.
Thirty-one years later, it has taken Herbert
Mitgang's new book, “The Man Who Rode the Tiger," to put ths
finishing touches to my slow realization—over the years—that
Jimmy Walker was something less than God, Superman and
Elvis Presley rolled into one. The story of Seabury’s two-year
campaign against Tammany and how he at last ran Walker
through .'yrifo„(tl|^jB>ee, is told completely, if not brilliantly, aid
now, for me, these is no doubt. Walker was guilty.
* * • »
THE DRAMA IN THOSE FATEFUL WEEKS—AUG. 11 TO
Sept. 1, 1932— must have been painfully sharp, although as
a youthful hedonist, I can't honestly say t kept close track of
it. Consider FDR, for instance. He was the Democratic nominee
for President—and yet here he was sitting in judgment on a
fellow Democrat. Walker, the carefree night mayor of Man-
hattan. was fighting for his political life. And Seabury, the
frustrated politician—who only a little while before had lost a
darkhorse bid for the same nomination won by FDR—wax bit-
terly wrapping up his campaign to try and' wipe some of the
stains from New York’s face.
Thousands of New Yorkers cheered Walker as he entrained
from Grand Central Station to Albany. "You show ’em, Jimmy!"
they yelled—proving that the New Yorker, at that time at
least, didn't mind being chiselled and homswoggled, If it wero
done with a flair. Jimmy's wife Allie was with him—the ons
wrong touch. New Yorkers all knew that they were living apart
and that Betty Compton was the woman in hla life.
In the chambers, when FDR entered, there was a dramatic
moment; he walked from his private office to the (teak in tha
■ hearing room, and you could hear the proverbial pin drop as hs
struggled to make it. Braces creaking, he finally dropped into
his chair. The hearing began and Jimmy Walker said, almost
pitifully, “I can’t be unlike every other human being In the
world. I can’t be so different than the rest of the human family."

CAREFULLY, FACTUALLY, M1TGANG IN BIS BOOK
tells of Walker's three-week ordeal. Once, he notes, FDR turned
to Ravnriond Mqley, one of his political aides, and said, "How
would% be If 1 let the little mayor off with a hell of a, repri-
mand?” Mitgang quotes Mrs. Roosevelt as saying, later. “As I
remember it, he had made up his mind to remove Walker from
office.”
Walker told a friend on Sept. 1—as he attended a funeral
service for his brother George—"I think Roosevelt is going to
remove me.” Former Gov. Al Smith told Walker calmly, “Jim,
you’re through. You must resign for the good of the party.”
On the evening of Sept. 1, the phone rang in FDR’s study.
The message from Jimmy Walker said, "I hereby resign as mayor
of the City of New York, the same to take effect immediately."
The great, gay, laugh-a-minute, crooked routine ? New York’s
most debonair chief executive was over. Samuel Seabury. who
started as a muckraker in the 1890s and became so deadly a
reformer and investigator, had toppled Tammany Hall. And
foolish young men like me were convinced a grc;.‘. wrong had
been done—until we learned better.
