AS he guideii Stephanie past the
** Chief's office. Heddy opened
the door a crack He saw Arnold
Ptieffer hunched .n one of the big
oak armchairs while Peters
scowled at mm acro.ee. the desk
The Chief looked up: "Yes.'" His
voice was brusque.
"Excuse me. Chief. Miss Smith
and I are leaving for her place
Ju£t thought I'd tell you."
"Okay, okay. See you up there
ie 15 minutes or so." He waved a
hand in dismi-saL
Reddy took Stephanie's arm
"Wow! The Chiefs really got his
back up about something. Wonder
what Pfieffer's been telling him.
Kind out soon enough. I guess."
The car beamed its lights up the
street, picking out the purple
blossoms of the mi-en.bryanthe-
mum that covered Hag^jr's parking
strip.
Reddy leaned forward, "Don't
see Yakov's car anywhere. I'm
glad we got here first." He braked
the car to a stop, "Did you leave
your lights on?"
Stephanie was gathering up her
purse and gloves, "Yes. I thought
I might be coming back alone—I
don't like to walk into a dark
house."
Reddy gave her his hand as she
rlimbed from the car: "Now you're
showing good sense. At a time like
thi-«, a good, healthy well-founded
fear is nothing to be ashamed of."
She fumbled for her key, "When
is Inspector Trotter coming? I ex-
pected to find quite a reception
committee on the .front steps, and
'lere we are all by o-irselves."
Rfvldy jut hi= arms around her

him.
"1 liked that. Charlie."
"In that .^a>e—" lie bent toward
her once more.
. A raucous motor laboring up the
hitl warned them of an approach-
ing audience. They separated and
stood watching the oncoming
lights.
• • •
A FEW minute; later Trotter had
^ joined them and they were in
the house, quipping about Califor-
nia weather At last Trotter looked
at nis watch:
"Yakov knows I'm with the Bu-
reau. so perhaps all of us will
learn more if I keep out of sight
when he arrives. Perhaps in Miss
Blair's bedroom. But, meanwhile.
I'd like a quick look at the cameo
and the paper you found in it." i
As Stephanie made her way to
the bedroom. Rrddy asked: "Am I
out of order asking what Yakov's
up to?"
"Not out of order, just a trifle
previous," Trotter replied, tilling
his pipe. "The whole tiling's
turned out different than we an-
ticipated. Originally I was dogging
Falter. He turned out to be some-
thing of a red herring and Yakov
appeared to be the fox. We suspect
he's doing some job for the Rus-
sian government."
Stephanie returned with the sil-
ver box and the small fragment of
folded paper. Stephanie translated
the paper for Trotter: "The Cher-
ry Orchard, gold and morocco
binding. Dr. tTrirh, St. Petersburg
College." Trotter wrote rapidly in
his notebook and then examined
the silver box.
Reddy strode the length of the
room ami back. "The thing that
bothers me most is that there
doesn't appear to be any connec-
tion between the mystery of the
cameo and the. mystery of the two
murders. But. the wTiOie thing
must tie up somewhere." He gave
a short, rueful laugh, "If this
keeps up. they'll ask me to tarn m
my police badge and confine my
talents to ambulance chasing."
Trotter had pried out the velvet
cushion and was running his fin-
sers over the inside surface of the
= il\er box lie looked up at Reddy
and grinned:
"I've felt the same way from
time to time. Somenow or other.
I've a hunrh this thing's ready to
fall into a nice clean-cut pattern
like the colored glass segments in
a kaleidoscope.™ He fitted the
or hion into the box and returned
the cameo to its resting place.
"Didn't Yakov say that these let-
'ters or papers he has will get Miae
Blair out of jail? Well, it follows
that they'll also point to the real
murderer." He snapped his fin-
gers. "Case solved!"
"Yeah." Reddy consulted his
watch. "If he ever gets here with
the papers!"
"It is getting late," Stephanie
commented. "You don't think be
could've come back while I was
away from the house?"
"How about phoning him?"
• • a
AS she started across the floor,
the phone pealed shrilly from
Hagar's bedroom. Trotter and
Reddy turned attentive faces to-
ward the sound as Stephanie hur-
ried to answer the call.
She returned immediately and
signaled Reddy: "It's Chief Peters."
Reddy's eyebrows went up in
surprise. He strode quickly to the
phone.
Stephanie and Trotter sat facing
each other, their expressions
mutely questioning whether to
make small talk, or, dropping all
pretense, try to eavesdrop on Red-
dy's words. By unspoken agree-
ment. they eavesdropped:
"Who found him?" Reddy was
asking urgently.
Trotter and Stephanie stared at
each other witb startled eyes.
"Was he able to say anything?*
Reddy was demanding. "What docs
the doctor say?"
"It must be Mr. Yakov," Steph-
anie whispered. "Something's hap-
pened to him!"

Irish Film Critic
Beplores Lack Of
Irish Pictures
By BRENDAN WALSH
United Press Staff Correspondent
DUBLIN, 'UJB—Ireland needs a
film industry and is preparing to
establish one.
Noted film critic Liam O'Laogh-
aire laments that this country's'
"film-making record is a deplor-
able one."
"The cinema is now 50 years
: old." he pointed out recently, "but
here in Ireland the makinir of
films has been so spasmodic, so
unimaginatively approached that
we may discount anything that
has been done, and say that Ire-
land has not and never had an
Irish film industry."
Irish experts are fully aware
that the film is an ace card in in-
ternational relations. They know
that England, Russia, Spain. Fra-
nce. Italy. Mexico, Argentina and
other nations are giving more at-
tention than ever before to film
production, and they feel uneasy !
about it.
t The National Film Institute of!
Ireland was concerned recently
when foreign newsreels again
j made their appearance in Ireland.
' The reason for their concern is
i that "news of the world" films in-
variably boost the way of life in
| the country which makes the film.
Wauld Baoat Ireland
What is needed here, the ex-
| pert* say. are films dealing with
I Ireland and the Irish way of life."

"This state of affairs," he war- j „
ned, "will remain to our national
and international discredit until
we decide to do something about
it." v

creative living is as great at that
of any other people." he points
out:
1. In Ireland there is a small
number of theaters—roughly .'1(H).
"Hie return from films in such a
limited market necessarily must
be small.
2. A short film can be made in
Ireland for about $32,000, but it
can make only about $8,IHM) in the
theaters.
3. A feature film could be made
for about #75,000 and might make
about $16,000.
Subsidy Needed
This means that a subsidy of
some kind is necesary to make
Irish film production possible.
"The first step,'" says CLaogh-
aire, "is to create a steady flow of
short films dealing with various
aspects of the nation's life. These
should deal with business, social
life and sports. This type of film
has been made abroad without re-
gard to financial returns, but in
actual fact, many of them have
