Bedaux Is Having
Passport Troubles
•lIAMI, Florida — (UP) —The
originator of an industrial speed-
up system—Charles E. Bedaux
—is having passport difficulties.
Military informants say Be-
daux; who befriended the Duke
Q Windsor at the time of his
marriage, is being held incom-
municado by immigration auth-
orities.
The 57-year-old Bedaux, a na-
tive of France, became a natu-
Mlized American 25 years ago.
" stayed in France after the
war began, and was reported ar-
rested by the Germans in 1942.
Later he turned up in North Af-
rica where he was accused of
fading with the enemy.
"it is understood that he flew
from North Africa to the United
States with army officials, but.
without a passport—hence his
fl detention.
Bedaux made a large fortune
t ftom his system of measuring
I the output potential of industrial
workers.
The Windsors were married in
his castle near Tours, France, in
1937. Later that year Bedaux
pmo to this country with the
intention of paving the way for
the Duke and Duchess to visit
here.
However, labor circles protest.-
,ed his activities and nothing
gime of the plans.

Home On Surprise
Visit From Sea
W A. K. (Chubby) Blancett,
of the radar division of
the'U. S. Navy, surprised his
parents, Mr. and'Mrs. G. R.
Blaneett, arriving here Sunday
morning. Chubby has been in
the Navy since 1912 when he vol-
unteered for service. He com-
pleted his training in July and
was sent to sea as a fleet fire
controlman. Surviving the sink-
ing of the USS Porter, Chubby
was home on 30-day furlough,
and reassigned to sea duty.
For a period of weeks he was
on guard duty when the Norman-
die lay partly submerged in the
New York harbor. Chubby's sur-
prise return to Sweetwater at
mid-year brought an influx of
questions which went unanswer-
ed. He has been at sea for a
number of months on duty in
the Pacific.

INVITATION FOR EMILY
CHAPTER XXVII
FRANK drove her ho*c. At the
* door,
"It isn't late," he suggested.
"Too late," said Emily and
smiled. She regarded him with
affectionate contempt. She
thought, You're big, and adult,
you have endearing qualities and
no guts. So she.'ll push you around
for the rest of your life.
He said, "Look here, did mother
get, her hooks into you, while I
was off on that fool's errand—
what did she say to you?"
"Nothing of importance."
"Emily, if you d consider . . ."
"Not now," she said with final-
ity, "not ever. Good night, Frank."
He warned her,
"I'll go out, I'll get stinkin'
drunk. I'll raise hell—"
"Do so," she agreed, "by all
means . . ."
She smiled at him and went
into the house. He swore, stand-
\.->4 there looking after her. What
a girl! He was crazy about her.
He wanted her. He would have
her. His mother had never de-
nied him anything before. Why
this time, why this most important
desire of all?
* * *
TIE drove home furiously, deter-
mined to have it out. But his
mother, to his amazement, was
amenable. She said, after listen-
ing patiently to his initial out-
burst,
"But there's no reason . . . I've
withdrawn my objections, Frank.
As you know, your happiness
comes first. I told Emily so to
night. . . ."
His jaw dropped.
"You told ner that!"
"Yes. But she isn't In love with
you, my deur. she's quite adamant.
She's thinking, she told me, of
eaving Cranberry and going to
Bos lor to work."

He was as nearly speechless as
possible. He'd asked Emily, "What
did he say to you?" and she'd an-
swered, "Nothing of importance."
So it wasn't of importance that
whatever his mother's objections
they no longer existed, it wasn't
of importance that the head of the
house of Edgnr was ready to be-
stow her blessing. . . .
His mother was saying, "Sit
down Frank, I need your advice.
want to talk to you about Muriel
Dawson."
"Muriel who?" he asked blankly.
"You remember . . .?" She went
to her desk, produced a long en-
velope ot snapshots. "I told tyou
about Eleanor Dawson. We be-
came great lriends when I was in
England. This is the daughter."
Not at all the teeth, feet and
tweed type. A small girl, with
delectable curves and long fair
hair, laughing into the sun . . .
He heard his mother's voice
running on. He was turning over
the snapshots looking at them.
Nice little thing, cute as a bug's
ear. He thought further, it would
serve Emil- right, perhaps it
would bring her to time.
* « *
\ S she went in the house Emily
saw the ligh>. in the office. It
was after hours and she went
down the hall and knocked.
"Emily," she said. "May I come
in?"
"Sure." Jim was sitting at her
father's old desk. He was chew-
ing a pipe and covering a page of
big paper with, his unreadable
scrawl.
"Where's eveiyone?"
"Your father and mother went
next door for a gossip, Nancy's off
to a movie with Dan Graham, I'm
trying to write a paper and it
doesn't jell." He pushed it aside.
"What's on your mind?"
"Timmy ... Mrs. Edgar just
told me the government is taking
| that property. That means the

CHAPTER XXVIII
J>IDING through the cool night
with its lingering smell of
burning brush she said, suddenly,
that she was thinking of leaving
Cranberry and going to Boston.
He said, "You're crazy you're
needed here. By your patients—
they're used to you, attached. By
the office and—the rest of us," he
added, "your people, me!"
She said gently:
"You'll get along,"
Driving through the darkness,
the cool crisp night, silent, think-
ing, If it could be like this always,
if you could maintain tide illusion,
two people alone, two people to-
gether, out of all the world, doing
their job together, loving each
other very much.
He said, slowly, "Don't go into
anything in a hurry, will you?"
"No."
On their way home he said, diffi-
dently:
"I've been wanting to tell you
something, but I'm a little scared."
"What about?" She thought, It
can't be Nancy, he's always dis-
cussed Nancy with me.
He said, "The housing conditions
at the Edgar mills. I've started
trouble. Your dad will back me up.
but it's my show really. I've been
talking out of turn, to members of
the medical society, to snme of the
city officials—the more honest city
officials, I might add In January
Sellop will retire from the Board
of Health. There's every likelihood
that Jameson will take his place
Jameson is all right The Edgar
interests can't intimidate him
Jameson believes he's under obli-
gation to me, too. . . , You know,
when your dad wer.t to Boston
for that last meeting and his kid
had the accident and they called
me, in consultation. Anyway,
what with one thing and an-
other. I think pressure will be put
on Carter to do something about
the houses. ... I just wanted you
to know that it may mean trouble
with the Edgars—"
* #
"TVTEANING Frank?" said Emily.
"Yes. But," he added has-
tily, "he'll see reason, you can
make him. 1 don't want to throw
any monkey wrenches into your
personal affairs, Emily."
"Don't worry about Frank."
But," he said, "if you and
he—?"
'That's nonsense."
'Nancy said—"
'Nancy doesn't know," she said
firmly.
But if you're in love with
him?" he persisted.
I'm not. Would I be contem-
plating going away to work if I
were?"
"That's right." He chuckled.
"I'm glad. You don't mind, d?
you? Not that he isn't a good
egg and all that." He added
gravely. "Your mother's going to
be sore, if any estrangement arises
because of this. She's very much
on the Edgar side."
"What does father say?"
"He said, 'Go ahead.' "
"Well," said Emily, "more
power to you."
He took a hand off the wheel
and touched her shoulder. He said
wistfully,
"I wish you'd stay home and see
me through this. Why do you
want to go. Emily?"
Because I'm in love with you,
she thought, because it's unendur-
able, being with you, because I
can't bear to look at you, when
Nancy's nearby—or watch her . . .
amusing herself with making you
jealous . . .
\ Aloud she said,
"Restless perhaps, tired of be-
ing in one place."
"That isn't like you,;' he said
soberly.
'•Well," she said lightly, "I
haven't decided—yet."
Remans will be put out . . . new
baby and all. We'll have to find a
place for them."
"We'll find it," said Jim. "Tim-
my's due home in a couple of
weeks. He'll need massage. He'll
be almost as good as new in a
year or so. . . . Of course if he
could be sent to Warm Springs
" He shrugged. "Tell you
what," he said suddenly, "there's
old man Garrod."
"Never heard of him."
"New patient," Jim explained.
"I went to the university with his
son, Albert. Al's in the Engineers
now. His mother and dad moved
here a year or so ago. They have
a place out on Sunset Hill. Al's
kept in touch with me, and when
he heard I was here he wrote his
father to look me up. Couple of
months ago Mrs. Garrod had a
heart attack and her husband
called me."
"Golly," said Emily, "a patient
of your own."
"Two of 'em. Garrod has dia-
betes."
He went on, after a moment,
"He's retired, but too good a
guy to like it. So he's fooling
around with real estate. He's
taken over some apartments near
the Lawson town line and is low-
ering rents. Says it's his contri-
bution to the war effort—light, air,
space, and a bit of yard, six-i'am-
ily apartments, for people who
can't afford decency, ordinarily.
Five dollars a room. He doesn't
expect any return on his invest-
ment. I'll see him and perhaps
he'll let Mrs. Reman have the
ground floor flat in return for
janitress work. I bet he will.
He'll be interested in Timmy. A1
had polio when he was a kid."
They sat for a little longer,
talked about the Remans, about
Timmy, and presently the tele-
phone rang. Jim picked it up,
spoke into the receiver, listened,
said Briefly, "I'll be right along."
Rising, seizing his bag, he
asked.
"Want to come?"
I am not the rose, thought
Emily—but I can substitute. She
said, after a brief struggle with
herself, "All right."
WINTER came early that year,
" early snows, high winds, se-
vere cold, relieved by short spells
of clear, freezing weather, skies
like black ice, pierced with the
frosty swords of starlight.
Jim, going to a call, was aston-
ished to find Nancy muffled to the
ears in sweaters, scarfs and a
shaggy fur coat waiting for him.
You don't want to go this sort
of a night," he expostulated.
"I heard the phone ring. Do
take me. I'm bored stiff. Emily's
buried in a book. Mother and Dad
went to the charity concert. I've
been frantic."
"Why?" he inquired.
The ground was hard, it
crackled under their feet, as they
crossed toward the garage.
"I don't know." Her hand
clutched the yellow paper of the
wire in her pocket. She was so
happy she could laugh, shriek, cry.
She couldn't sit shut up at home
with her happiness. The walls
would close in on her. She had to
push them out. She said, "The
roads are clear, the ploughs were
through and it hasn't snowed hard
for several days. No ice even. I've
got to go with you, Jim . . .
please."
She stood outside the garage door
and lifted her arms. She put them
around nis throat and stood on tip-
toe to kiss him. She kissed him
because she could have kissed the
whole world, she could have kissed
lepers, beggars, idiots. She was
brimful cf kissing. Because she
was happy.
"Nancy?" he held her closely.
' Nancy—you don't mean—"
"I don't mean anything. Hurry
. , ." She scurried into the garage
ahead of him, "Where are we go-
ing?"
"The Hanson baby has the
croup," he explained. "No one is
home except the grandmother. The
parents are in New York for the
weekend."
The Hanson house, a small frame
cottage, was on the outskirts of
town. Nancy waited in the car,
holding fast to the slip of yellow
paper in her pocket.
She was saying to herself, To-
morrow I'll see him . . . tomorrow.
