NEW MUSIC GROUP INDEBUT MONDAY United Service Grchestra in Pan-American Concert Through NAA. The elimination from the naval ap- propriation bill of the amendment designed to restrict the activities of naval radio sta- tions definitely cleared the way for the broadcast- ing through NAA Aonday night of a pretentious musi- cal program spon- sored by the Pan- American Union. The clause in «uestion stipulated that no money § should be expend- ed for broadcast- ing anything by the naval radio stations except what concerned the Government or was in the na- ture of Government business. The primary purpose of this restriction, it is understood, was to prevent what is described as “propaganda” and ‘‘pub- licity” broadcasts such as has been charged were going out from NAA. Literally interpreted, however, it was not believed that the amendment would be applicable to such popular concerts as those arranged by the Pan- American Union. These concerts have been broadcast in the past by WRC, but the basis on which this station is now operating, forced the officials of the Pan-American Union to turn ‘to NAA. The Pan-American broadcast will mark the radio debut of the newly organized United Service Orchestra, which will present zn impressive pro- ®ram of Latin American music. The concert will be embeilished with cello and marimba solos and recitals by Senor Milla Ybarra de Dominguez of Mexico, formerly soloist with the Chi- cago Symphony Orchestra, and Carlos Viaderrama, noted Peruvan composer and pianist, who uscs the Incan themes in all his works. Carlos Vinderrama. Five more broadcast stations were licensed just prior to the enactment of the new radio control act, it was announced today at the Deplrtmem of Commerce. These will be the last for two months, at least. Future licensing is up to the Federal Radio Commission, which probably will not be able to untagle Lhe ether jam before May h The five additional stations fn- creased the grand total to 733.

The orchestr. will play five selections by famous composers, among them Beethoven's overture gmon!

Distant reception was marred again last night by static blasts which be- came so terrific at times that signals were virtually submerged. The at- mospherics- were most destructive dur- ing the early evening. After 10 o'clock the ether seemed to clear to some extent, but then only such superpower stations as WGY and WJZ were able to penetrate this barrier of interfer- ence with any degree of success. Fading also appeared to be more prevalent last night than on ang other night of the week., So combined with the static, those listeners who ‘were able to catch more than mere snatches of the programs of the dis- tant stations were indeed fortunate.

By AGATHA (Continued from Yesterday's Star.) “I thought, doctor, that you might put it to M. Poirot—explain it, you know—because it's so difficult for a foreigner to see our point of view. And you don't know—nobody could know—what I've had to contend with. A martyrdom—a long martyrdom. That’s what my life has been. I don't like to speak ill of the: dead— but there it is. Not the smallest bill, but it had all to be gone over—just as though Roger had had a few rly hundreds a year instead of being (as Mr. Hammond told me yes- terday) one of the wealthiest men in these parts " Mrs. Ackroyd paused to dab her eyes with the frilled handkerchief. “Yes,” I sald encouragingly. “You were talking about bills?" “Those dreadful bills. And some I didn't like to show Roger at all. They were things a_man wouldn't under- stand. He would have said the things weren't necessary. And of course they mounted up, you know, and they kept coming in——"" She looked at me appealingly, as though asking me to condole with her on this striking peculiarity. “It's a habit they have,” I agreed. “And the tone altered—became quite abusive. I assure you, doctor, | I was becoming a nervous wreck. I couldn't sleep at nights. And a dread. | ful fluttering round the heart. And then I got a letter from a Scotch gentleman—as a matter of fact there were two letters—both Scotch gentle- men. Mr. Bruce MacPherson was one, and the other was Colin Mac- Donald. Quite a coincidence.” “Hardly that,” I said d “They are usually Scotch geentlemen, but I suspect a Semitic strain in their ances- Ten pounds to ten thousand on note of hand alone,” murmured Mrs. Ackroyd reminiscently. “I wrote to one of them, but it seemed there were difficulties.” She paused. 1 gathered that we were just com- ing to delicate ground. I have never known any one more difficult to bring to the point “You see,” murmured Mrs. Ackroyd “it's all a_question of expectation: sn't it? Testamentary expectation: And though, of course, T expected that Roger would provide for me, I didn’t know. I thought that if oniy I could glance over a copy of his will—not in any sense of vglgar prying—but just so that I could make my own ar- rangements. She glanced sideways at me. The position was now very dilicate indeed. Fortunately words, ingeniously used, will serve to mask the ugliness of naked facts. “I could only tell this to you, dear Dr. Sheppard,”- said Mrs. Ackroyd | rapidly. "I can trust you not to mis- judge me, and to represent the matter in the right light to M. Poirot. It was on Friday afternoon——"" She came fo a stop and swallowed uncertainly. “Yes,” T repeated encouragingly. “On_Friday afternoon. Well?’ “Every one was out, or so I thought. And I went into Roger's study—I had some real reason for going there—I mean, there was nothing underhand about it. And as I saw all the papers heaped on the desk, it just came to me, like a flash: ‘I wonder if Roger keeps his will in one of the drawers of the desk.’ I'm so impulsive, always was, from a child. T do things on the | spur of the moment. He'd left his keys—very careless of him—in the lock of the top drawer."” “I see,” 1 said helpfully. “So you searched the desk. Did you find the wili?” Mrs. Ackroyd gave a little scream, and I realized that I had not been sufficiently diplomatic. “How dreadful it sound: wasn't at all like that, really. “Of course it wasn't,” I said hastily. “You must forgive my unfortunate way of putting things. ““You see, men are so peculiar. In dear Roger's place, I should not have objected to revealing the provisions of my will. But men are so secretive. One is forced to adopt little subter- {fuges In self-defense.” “And the result of the little sub- | terfuge?” I asked. i That's just what I'm telling you. | As 1 got to the bottom drawer, Journe came in. Most awkward. Of | course T shut the drawer and stood | up, and I called her attention to a few specks of dust on the surface.

Poirot, won't you? You can see for yourself what a trivial matter the whole thing was. But, of course, when he was so stern about concealing things, I thought of this at once.

But I had noted the momentary hesitation, and I knew that there was still something she was keeping back. It was nothing less than a flash of sheer genius that prompted me to ask the question T did. Irs. Ackroyd,” T said, “was it you who left the silver table open?” 1 had my answer in the blush of guilt that even rouge and powder could not conceal. “How do you know?” ed. “It was you, then?" “Yeg—I—you see—there were one or two pleces of old silver—very inter- esting. 1 had been reading up the subject and there was an illustration of quite a small plece which had fetched an immense sum at Christy's. It looked to me just the same as the one in the silver table. I thought I would take it up to London with me when I went—and—and have it valued. Then if it really was a valu able plece, just think what a charm- ing surprise it would have been for Roger?"” I refrained from comments, ac- cepting Mrs. Ackroyd's story on its merits. 1 even forbore to ask her why it was necessary to abstract what she wanted in such a surreptitious manner. “Why did you leave the lid open?” T asked. “Did you forget?” T was startled,” sald Mrs. Ackroyd. | “I heard footsteps coming along the | terrace otitside.

Mrs. Ackroyd | had revealed to me one fact that was | extremely interesting. Whether, her designs- ‘upon Ackroyd's silver had been strictly honerable I neither knew nor cared. What did interest me was the fact that Miss Russell must have entered the drawing room by the win- | dow, and that I had not been wrong | vhen I judged her to be out of breath with running. Where had she been” | I thought of the Summer house and | the scrap of cambric. wonder if Miss Russell has her handkerchiefs starched” I exclaimed | on_the spur of the moment.
