NAZI SABOTEURS EXPECTED © A score of saboteurs are being trained bygthe German High Command to be sent to.gll parts of the world to obstruct the ef- forts of the United Nations, according to J. Edgar Hoover, director of the Federal Bu- reau of Investigation. « Mr. Hoover urges every citizen to con- sider himself an “individual listening-post” fof. the FBI becanse this new crop of “rigor- ously trained Nazi saboteurs will soon be graduated from Berlin’s crack school for saboteurs and loosed upon the world.” _ *s In this connection, the head of the FBI | re¥ealed that last year his agency received - 2¥8,000 reports concerning persons or sit- 3 ugtions thought to be dangerous to the na- 3 tignal security. Many of the reports were unfounded but the FBI prefers to have too many reports rather than too few. | ™ The agency adds that there has been - nd-single successful foreign-directed act to saPotage in this war. It asks Americans to continue giving assistance in order to main- tajn that remarkable record, '« The attention of citizens is called to the fact that any information may prove to be vifal and fill in a missing link in connection with other information available. Citizens _ arg urged to remember that no report is “in- significant” if the citizen is sincere in his belief that his observation of facts point to a situation imperilling national security. ® This appeal from the FBI should not be mistaken. It does not mean that the people of this country are expected to take vigor- ous action against suspected enemy agents, Tiiey are requested to communicate with the FBI and to turn in all information that they sinterely believe is important. SUPPLIES TO AND FROM AFRICA a ", About six hundred thousand tons of supplies have been shipped to North Ai- righ to meet the urgent needs of the popu- laffon, according to Lend-Lease Adminis- trdfor Edward R. Stettinius, Jr. _. It is interesting to plies and the British about 400,000 tons, mostly. coal. © Ships returning to British and Amer- icah ports have delivered more than 350,- 00Q tons of raw materials, needed for muni- tiop and farm production. This little item also calls attention to the fact that the oc- cupation of North Africa cut the Axis off from these supplies. ~ If you want the war to end do your pat to make it end. There is something for all to undertake. ~ The Nazis would like to know what | Churchill and Roosevelt talked about. So w@ild most of us. *- Personally, we would hate to have the prospect that now faces the Japanese pev- ple, but just now they are living in the bliss of ignorance. i an Sve Waa ea ~ We don’t know what Roosevelt and Churchill talked about, but been what the governor of North Carolina said to the governor of South Carolina. observe that the | United States has sent 158,234 tons of sup- | ARE THE COUNCILMEN CRAWFISHING? It has been declared that the public THE KEY WEST CITIZEN | has a short memory, but we wonder, oh, how | gotten, or will forget by the time Election Day rolls around next November, the craw- ness of our city council! The Citizen is confident that practic ally every Key Wester remembers that, last pened to this ripsnorting ‘‘norwester’”? came up with its usual suddenness and died out as suddenly as it had flared up. The warmth of righteous indignation died down, | as usual, always as usual, to chilly indiffer- ence. And then, as though somebody’s 0x was gored again, the councilmen discussed val street. Wild life at night on that thor- oughfare, caused by liquored-up men and some women too; the loss of respect for women who chanced to be on Duval at night, traceab!e to John Barleycorn, were describ- ability of the licenses was published in The Citizen, the good folks in Key West applauded and the saloon keepers and owners of the buildings an approaching thunderstorm. men, that the proposal was to be discussed rious reasons,” ready” to reconsider the proposal “at the meeting tonight.” What are those “various why were the councilmen “not ready’? How long does it require to decide whether the saloons are to be permitted or not per- mitted to operate on Duval street? How long will it take to decide to revoke some- | body’s license? One councilman had “under advis ment” some “form of modification,” and another councilman thought the matter should be given “further consideration” be- fore final action is taken on it, all of which is that not-so-pleasant pastime of craw- fishing? But why should the councilmen be forced to crawfish over a situation of their own creation? It was they who granted the, liquor licenses, despite protests that too many saloons, or the equivalent of saloons, | were operating on that one street, particu- larly in its two busiest blocks. So the councilmen now are trying’ to pull apart the Frankenstein they them- selves created, and are uncertain about the procedure they should take to undo what stein now threatens to destroy them, as Frankensteins generally do. Are the councilmen crawfishing? Congress, always under fire, is one of + the necessities of democracy; if this were not true there would be no Congress. Parents of soldiers away from home have little sympathy with the selfish com- plaints of those who do little to assist the nation in the defense of its life. CAN AIRCRAFT WIN THE WAR? A| British air enthusiast says unquali- knocked out in 1943. He thinks that fifty bombing raids a month for two months, each unloading two thousand tons of bombs, | would turn the trick. According to a London news dispatch, | this would mean stepping up the present | aerial offensive four times. The probability | is that attacks upon Axis-held Europe will be stepped up by four times the end of thi summer. } Naturally, there is much interest in | the suggestion that continuous round-the- | clock bombing might be able to put Ger- many, or Italy, or both, out of the war. Cer- tainly, such a campaign would not involve the huge loss of life which must be faced if | \ 8 large Anglo-American Army invades | Continental Europe. The complete separation of church and state is a sound doctrine for any pro- | Sressive nation. Church and state should it may have ' walk side by side but not hand in hand, is ‘that ne ither one be hampered by the | other. ; fishing and other manifestation of weak- | fall, the city councilmen, with beating of | drums and blarings of trumpets, declared | that all gambling houses in Key West would | be closed and kept closed.

After all they’d been through Penny could hardly real- | ize the sheer luxury of it. To sit | back, Cleve’s dark head pillowed ! on her lap, while Marie To-ma’s brown skillful hands wielded the paddle — what heavenly relief! Only one thing marred mae con- tentment. Cleve’s condition. She bent to whisper to him soothingly. “It won’t be long now, Cleve.” His gaze cleared __ slightly. “Hello, Penny,” he said. “Where are we?” “Almost to Moosé Creek.” “Thank God.” He smiled up at} her crookedly, then lapsed into! unconsciousness. He didn’t awaken until the } €amoe grated on the beach at loose Creek. “We're here, Cleve,” said Penny. “Do you think you can manage to get up to one of those Indian houses if Marie and I help you?” “Sure,” he said. They succeeded in getting him out of the canoe. Supporting him on either side, they struggled up the incline to the first Indian shack. Just before they reached it, Cleve collapsed. Marie called out and some Squaws appeared from the cabins. Soon Cleve was lying on a narrow cot in the nearest house. Penny bent over him, bathing his face with a cool wet cloth. ‘ “Dear Cleve,” she whispered. “You'll be all right. You’ve got to be. We need you, Bill and I.” At the mention of Bill’s name, his eyelids fluttered. His brown eyes, nearly black with suffering, stared earnestly into her worried gray ones, “Penny—you’ve wasted enough time with me. You—must—go— on.” Penny thought about that. It was only twenty-five miles up- stream from here to Pierre le Frene’s shack. Starting early in | the morning, she could probably make it late the same evening, She wouldn’t need to be gone long, providing all was well with her brother. She hoped desperate- ly it was. Then she could bring back help of some sort to Cleve. But the question confronting her now was, dared she leave him? “Look, tot,” he said. “A little rest, food and attention and this man-animal will be as frisky as young Wolf. Believe me.” Penny regarded him doubtfully. He sounded very convincing, but then he usually did. Still, he did look better. At least, he didn’t look any worse. Even in the short time they’d been here, he seémed improved. “If you’re better tomorrow, we'll see,” she said. “Tl be better,” he promised. her relief, he was. His fever had gone down and he re- ported less pain from his wound- ed arm. He said, “Take Marie To-ma with you. She’s a capable young- ster. Then I won’t worry about your being alone in the wilds.” “Poof,” said Penny. “I can take care of myself.” He ignored that. “If you start early tomorrow morning, you'll get to the half-breed’s shack by nightfall.” Reluctantly, Penny found her- self following his instructions. Marie To-ma agreed to go readily enough. She’d taken quite a fancy to Penny. An old squaw. an aunt or grandmother of Marie’s— Penny couldn’t make out which— would look after Cleve. Penny re- peated over and over directions as to his care and left supplies from her first aid kit. She tiptoed in at dawn the next day to reassure herself that he hadn’t taken a turn for the worse | during the night. His eyes were shut. His breath- ing was deep and regular. Sleep| had smoothed the set lines of manhood from his face. Dreaming there in the Indian hut, relaxed arms outthrust, he looked like a small boy. Yielding to bent and set impulse. her lips Penny providing Moose Creek wasn’t too lightly against the shape of his. Some- startled, as Cleve stirred and opened his eyes. “Cleve,” she said, shaken, “I—I didn’t mean to wake you up.” Still drowsy, he brushed his | mouth with the back of one hand. “Maybe I dreamed it,” he said. what?” Penny swallowed. “Dreamed “That—that someone kissed me. Penny—was it you?” “Cleve,” she evaded, “don’t be eae oy just eae in to see if eve! ing was all right with you, before T left.” e " His eyes followed the outline of her narrow, high-cheekboned face like feeling, probing fingers. Then he grinned. “You know, tot, you’re photo- enic. Odd I never noticed be- fore.” “You don’t things. “Maybe you're right,” he said slowly. Then: “Well, you're start- ing, are you, tot?” *Y eg” notice lots of “I'm beginning to get qualms.

Give me a hand and—” Penny pushed him back. never heard of such nonsense!” The effort had made him pale.

She drew back, “My best to good old Bill.” Te. “And, tot,—it’s just the whim of a sick man but — how about a farewell kiss?” “Oh, no!” Penny stepped back, the words bursting from her in- voluntarily. She was remember- ing that other kiss vividly. “T see,” he said. “Powell.” She turned and walked out. To be continued Today’s Birthdays A®™Y FASTER SPOON RIVER SAM Py Robert S Conn, av N.
