The gadget was up to the minute.” “You serious?” Jigger’s ineffable propriety of manner and tone lulledthe sav- age beast. Some of the pomp of a guy with ae ene savvy crept. into ‘A’hearms voice. “Someone : stuck: ‘a: d new sabotage device in your cab. It’s called a ‘cracker.’ Looks like an ordinary spark plug and screws into the motor. Heat explodes it.” Jigger whistled thoughtfully.

Activity.0i | Marine Corps In Florida TAMPA, Nov.: 13 (FNS).—On' Tuesday the United States Ma- rine Corps celebrated its 172nd aniversary. H Marine Corps Units in Florida today, although formidable ; enough, are a far cry from the display of strength made in the State by the Corps in 1836. That .year, the Marine Corps , took to the field to protect Flo- ridians from the Creek and! Seminole Indians;; who were on the warpath. : The call to arms was so ur- gent’ that Marine Corps Com- | mandant Archibald Henderson! closed down the headquarters in Washington and took all of his clerks into the field, as well as every other Marine who could be spared trom. ship .detach- | ments and Navy vards. President Andrew had asked the Marides to put down the Indians, so Colonel Henderson personally led these Marihes who constituted than half the strength of Marine Corps at that time. After settling with the Creek Indians just north of Florida in Georgia, Henderson and his Ma- Jackson more the rines moved into Florida in Aug. 1836, to clash with the Semin- oles, While the Corps did a splen- | did job and restored order to the state, they were unahte to defeat the Indians, who retired | to the Everglades and have nev- er ‘surrenederd “ Le THE KEY WEST CITIZEN “Tm not letting you pump me, Jigger. All I can say is that ac- cording to Halloran of the Bomb Squad this same gadget has been used to sabotage planes during the, war.” Jigger kept his eyes glued to A’hearn’s gun hand. “I need your help, A’hearn, to tie up some loose ends in this case.” fee was a deadly : lence. “It's probably the last de- mand FH make on you, A’hearn. I'l either solve this jig-saw or quit and spend my spare time as a volunteer apple-picker.” A’hearn shifted his weight and Jigger’s heart jumped crazily. “Pil cut you in on the applause if 1 connect with the right an- swers.” Jigger kept his eye on Avhearn’s gun hand. It wold be too, too sad if A’hearn’s sanity was really in delicate valance. “I want to bait a trap for Little Joey—with your help since you’re the keeper of the keys. Unfor- tunate as Pop Lynch’s death was, it was an improvision quite separate and apart from Joey and suggests things afoot beyond Joey’s control.” Jigger crooked a rhetorical arm. “A’hearn, I’ve been waiting for exactly just such an improvisation. It’s a green light to probe some more. The racket angle was all blind alley.” There was a wee policeman’s interest in A’hearn. “What kind’ of a trap do you want to set for Joey?” Jigger wasn't entirely sure, but he concocted one with practically no hesitancy; and as it assembled into what sounded like a plan, he accepted it with A’hearn. “I’m going to get Joey to admit that he was the guy who put Munsey into St. Vincent’s Hos- pital. When he admits it, I’m go- ing to tell him that you had a dictaphone connected with his cell with two witnesses on the other end and that Munsey died of his injuries last night. You see, Joey doesn’t share your convic- tion that he’s going to fry for the FOR AMERICANS CORNER THE VETERANS QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS May a veteran study private teacher under the G. I. bill? Will the government pay the travel expenses of a veter- | an so he can appear in person betore a rating board. Here are the answers to these : ;and other questions that former servicemen frequently ask con- ; tact representatives of Veter- ans Administration: Q. During what period must ! a World War 11 veteran have served to become eligible for the ; educational benefits of the G. I. Bill of Rights? | A. From September 16, 1940, through July 25, 1947. Q. May a veteran of World | Wai 11 study with a_ private teacher and receive benefits un- der the G. I. bill? A. No. Q. lt | obtain a G. IL. loan to! go into business and the busi- ness fails, is the guaranteed por- tion of the loan paid by the gov- ernment charged to Me or is it an outright gift to me? A. A guaranteed loan is not a gitt to the veteran. It must be repaid. If the Government has to pay the guaranteed portion of the G. I. loan to the lender, the veteran 1s obligated to the gov- ernment tor the payment. Q. 1 would like to appear be- fore Veterans Administration rating board to explain my ap- plication for compensation, Will VA pay my traveling expenses? A. No. All expenses vou may soing he ee te rs incur going to or’ from 3 s 1 A rat — 1 with a qe jaa _ Herz and Birdieg killings. ‘I'm still in the dark about his actual reasons for hiring me, and Joey has told me practically nothing to date, even though I’m supposed to be working for him.” A’hearn asked, “What do you expect him to do when you spring the Munsey lie on him?” “['m hoping that with a death he’s confessed guilt for, Joey might spill a few secrets he’s been hoarding for what I’ve come to believe are some pretty des- perate reasons. I'll tell him that he'll mitigate his sentence if he’s of material aid in solving the other two deaths.” A’hearn scratched his head al- most like his old self. “What did Joey bring you into the case in the first place for?” “That, Cappie, is what I want to find out. There, no doubt, hangs a tale.” i A’hearn named one condition: “After you do or don’t get what- ever you're after, you gotta promise not to tip Joey that you were framing him to get him to blab. He’s gotta believe Munsey dead.” Poor Joey was in for a baking lamp and leadpipe affray. ~- “You want to sweat Joey with the victim at a psychological loss since he’s supposed to have con- fessed to a murder, eh?” A’hearn said stiffly that the third degree was verboten, out the window, a slander, like a station house captain on the wit- ness stand in a citizen’s inquiry into police brutality. Jigger wondered how long: it would take him to reconcile him- self to the unpaid four-thousand- dollar balance that was virtually out the window. at A’hearn named a second con- dition with.a note of. triumph/as he turned to leave: “There'll ‘be a real dictaphone set-up in Joey’s cell; Jigger. Just so: you ‘won't have too many lies on your ‘con- science.” <a Jigger dignified A’hearn’s: de- parture with a pious Bronx cheér.
