FICTION DETECTIVE
CHAPTER IX
T MUST have given Clint Matti-
*- son the shock of his life run-
ning in that way with my hair fly-
ing and my eyes wild.
I finally managed to say that
somebody had bumped into me on
the path through the woods and
frightened me.
Mattison stood up quickly.
“You don’t know who it was?”
“No. I thought everybody else
was in the house when I left.”
He went over to his desk that
was piled untidily with papers and
books and yanked open a drawer
and brought out a flashlight and
a gun.
“What are you going to do?” I
gasped.
“Have a look around before they
get away.”
I vras out of the chair with one
jump and had hold of his arm.
“You’re not going to leave me here
alone.”
"You’ll be safe enough. Lock
the door.”
“No—no.”
He shook my hand off his arm
and turned briskly to the phone.
I heard him ask central for the
county police headquarters. As
soon as he got a connection he
began to tell someone about me
running into somebody in the
woods. Then he listened for awhile
and a funny expression came over
his face.
He looked ratheK foolish when
he turned bark to me.
“Let’s call your house, Mrs.
Kraik, and see if one of the family
or the servants isn't out. Maybe
it was someone just taking a walk
in the woods.”
I was beginning to get my senses
back. "No—please don’t. I don’t
want them to know I’m here ”
Mattison looked at me in a pe-
culiar way. I know now what
must have passed for the first time
through his mind then. But, of
course, he said nothing to me
about it.
* • *
661T must have been somebody
± from the house,” I agreed,
wishing he’d quit looking at me
that way "I’m jittery because of
what happened yesterday. That’s
why I lost my head. Let’s forget
it. Do you know what I came to
see you about?”
He shut his mouth slowly and
sat down in a chair across the
hearth from me and waited for
me to go on.
“I came to talk to you about the
mnn who was killed yesterday.
You see, he’s an ex-convict and
he’s been mixed up in all kinds of
crime. And the police will wonder
how he happened to be at our
place when he was killed.”
Clint Mattison nodded his head.
“They do. That chief deputy was
over here this morning asking all
sorts of questions about you folks.”
I swallowed hard.
"Well, you see how it is.” I
spread my hands in a helpless ges-
ture and looked appealingly into
his eyes. “We don’t want to be
mixed up in a lot of newspaper
scandal. I—I thought if you—you
write detective stories—if you
would investigate—for us, that
is . .
“You mean you want me to try
and find out who killed Derek
Grady?”
I nodded my head.
“Whew!” He let out the word
with a long breath and his friend-
ly grin tugged at his mouth.
“That’s a big order, Mrs. Kraik.
At that, I wouldn’t mind try-
ing it."
He stared at the wall behind
me for a moment. “Maybe you’d
better start oil by telling me
all you know- about this Derek
Grady.”
I had no intention of doing that,
but it wouldn’t hurt to tell him
•>? irinch :is I h;irl thf> police So
I told him about Derek being my
housekeeper’s grandson.
"You believe then that he came
to his grandmother for help?”
I stared at Mattison goggle-
eyed. It was funny I hadn’t
thought of that. It was so ob-
viously the explanation of Derek’s
being at Kraiktower. If I hadn’t
been so concerned about that old
affair between him and Kathy . . .

ATATTISON went on talking.
1 “The police had it all doped
out yesterday. You see. they knew
that this Grady was in with a
Chicago gang on a kidnaping.
But he got cold feet and welched
on his pals. The police thought
one of the gang had trailed him
here and killed him in revenge.”
I nodded excitedly.
“But they had it doped wrong,”
Mattison went on. “That deputy
just told me over the phone that
they’ve had word from the Chi-
cago police. They’ve rounded up
every member of the gang that
pulled the kidnaping and not one
of them could have been within
two hundred miles of this place
when Grady was killed.”
So we were back at the begin-
ning again.
I got stiffly to my feet. “Would
you mind coming back to the
house with me?”
Clint Mattison walked silently
beside me. His hand was firm be-
neath my arm and his voice gentle
when he told me to take care not
to slip on the stepping stones as
we crossed the creek. I lifted the
skirt of my long black dinner dress
above the dew wet grass and pre-
ceded him up the slope of lawn
toward the terrace. I saw that
the living room and the library
were ablaze with lights.
Then I stepped through the
French door from the terrace and
stopped dead still in surprise.

By RUSSELL LANDSTROM
LONDON, June 8—(/P)— Ger-
man propagandists, reverting again
to drum beating, have suddenly
shifted from talk of defensive to
offensive action, b u t British
sources suggested today the new
tone is merely an attempt to be-
muse Allied leaders working on
invasion plans.
The new line, first apparent in
a Berlin broadcast last night, was
begun only four days short of
the anniversary of the start of the
Nazi summer offensive in the
Kharkov area, on June 11, 1942
and in the midst of increased air
activity on that front in recent
days.
Germany’s first attack on Rus-
sia also was sprung in June—on
June 22, 1941.
Some sources here thought the
shift in tone might be intended
to stiffen German home morale,
but Muiley Richards, Daily Ex-
press military writer, conceded
the might try to "’rod the
initiative from the United Na-
tions.
“To do lhat," he wrote, "they
might attack again in Russia
or attempt invasion of Turkey
; or Spain to jeopardize the
flanks of the Allied armies
stretched across the southern
Mediterranean.
“Last night's propaganda seeks
to suggest one or more of those
j three plans are being considered.”
A DNB military commentator
j declared from Berlin last night
| that “Germany is prepared for
both defensive and offensive mili-
tary actions.” This commentator
replaced Lieut. Gen. Kurt Ditt
mar, a leading Nazi military an-
alyst, who asserted last week that
Germany planned a purely de-
fensive strategy.
For the past week Nazi propa-
gandists generally had harped up-
on Germany’s need of replenish-
ment and rest before undertaking
further offensive actions.
The new line also contained
hints of strategic surprises and
formidable new weapons, last
night’s Nazi military commenta-
tor declaring an Allied invasion
would only enable the Axis to
“sow its power.”
London newspapers, meanwhile,
continued to splash invasion
headlines and comment editorial-
ly on Axis speculation over the
plan of assault. British and Allied
quarters in London heard reports
that the Nazis in Norway expect-
ed a Soviet attack on the north-
ern Finland front to coincide with
a British-American blow from the
west, perhaps at Narvik.
Churchill Pays
Glowing Tribute
To United Slates
LONDON, June 8—(/P)—Prime
Miniate; Churchill paid glowing
tribute today to the United States,
its president, its congress and its
army chief of staff.
He told the house of commons
in his war review that the United
States is “the most powerful com-
munity in the world.”
He called President Roosevelt
“illustrious.”
Congress, he said is an “august
assembly.”
He referred to Gen. George C.
Marshall, U. S. chief of staff who
accompanied him to North Africa,
as “a man of singular eminence
c f mind and character."
At the close of his 35-minute,
3,500-word speech to commons,
the prime minister apologized for
the brevity of his view, saying:
“The reason why I have not to
make a longer speech today is
that I have already given to the
joint sessions of the congress of
the United States the statement
• May 19> which I should have
made to this house on the victories
in Tunisia had I been in this
country. That, I think is the valid
explanation.
"Certainly when I found my-
| self walking into the august as-
sembly, the free congress of the
most powerful community in the
world, and when I gave them, ex-
actly as I would do in this house,
a businesslike stock-taking survey
of the war and of our joint inter-
ests, even touching upon contro-
versial matters, or matters of do-
mestic controversy over there,
and when I thought of our com-
mon history and of the hopes that
j lie between us, I felt that this
u as an age of memorable import-
I ance to mankind.”
He said his relations “With the
illustrious president of the United
States have become in these years
of war those of a personal friend-
ship and regard, and nothing will
ever happen to separate us in the
comradeship and partnership of
thought while we remain respon-
sible for the conduct of affairs.”
Victory Tax
Hidden But
Must Be Paid
By JAMES MAHLOW
And GEORGE ZIELKE
WASHINGTON, June H t,P)—
The 5 per cent victory tax is go-
ing behind the scenes next month
—but remember that it's still on
the ijedt*. waiting to )>«»•» “>> in
the spotlight again next March 15
And taxpayers who haven't been
paying the victory tax because
they aren't on regular wages or
salaries will bump into this spe-
cial tux Sept. 15 instead of next
March, as originally planned.
Here’s the situation
Everybody whose income is
more than $824 a year <$12 a week'
owes a victory tax. even if his or-
dinary exemptions free him from
paying the regular federal income
tax.
Congress, in voting for pay-as-
you-go income tax collections, in-
cluded a deduction of 3 per cent
for victory tax in the 20 per cent
(above exemptions) check-off on
wages and salaries starting in
July.
The new check-off will take the
place of the 5 per cent deduction
which has been taken out of
wages and salaries during the
first six months of this year for
the victory tax.
But—congress didn't change
that part of the law which says
the victory tax is 5 per cent of
income over $624 a year, or that
part which provides for certain
credits based on purchases of
war bonds, payments of life in-
surance premiums and old debts.
So the wage- and salary-earner
| will have some victory tax figur-
ing to do next March.
Taxpayers who aren’t on reg-
ular wages or salaries, and so
i won’t be subject to the 20 per cent
I check-off, will be required to file
1 an estimate of 1943 income and
make an installment payment of
their income taxes Sept. 15—with
another installment Dec. 15. And
they’ll find’ that they’ll have to
settle up their victory taxes in
those installments.
Individuals whose earnings are
below income tax levels 'because j
of exemptions) but who make more
than $624 a year will find their
King Confers
With Commander
Of Pacific Fleet
WASHINGTON, June 8 .—
Admiral Ernest J. King has con-
ferred on the west coast with Ad-
miral Chester W. Nimitz, Com-
mander of the Pacific Fleet, on
war plans, it was officially dis-
closed today.
The talk was linked informally
with the conferences recently
held in North Africa by General
George C. Marshall, Army Chief
of Staff, and General Dwight D.
Eisenhower. African theater com-
mander.
The suggestion was made with
indirect official agreement that
Marshall and King, Admiral of
the United States fleet, had car-
ried to the field commanders in-
formation of plans recently work-
ed out by British and American
officers, President Roosevelt and
Prime Minister Churchill in their
joint conferences here.
Secretary of the Navy Knox
disclosed at a press conference
that Nimitz had been on the west
coast for conferences with King.
Knox said there was no particu-
lar significance to the meeting
since “they have the conferences

statement in a spaech in Londogt
today that "amphibious opera*
tions of pocuhar complexity and
hazard” are approaching for the
Allies. "No comment," Knox said,
but 1 snouia say that was m
corner votive statement."
Commenting on the heavy ra-
tion of Axis plane losses to A-
merican losses in air combat in
the Mediterranean area, the sec-
retary said it might be due to
any one of a number of causes,
including holding of enemy fight-
er planes in reserve for future
developments, diversion of fight-
ers to other theaters or a short-
age of fuel and oil.
