A ft|AJOR HOMEWARD appeared
at a meeting of the directors
of tihe Blessed to Give Brother
hood. Ernest Wheyfish recognized
him as royalty, but it was Dr.
Planish who thought of whisper
ing, “Pretty dull. Let’s sneak out
and have a quick one.”
They drank till 7. Dr. Planish
privily telephoned to Peony, and
brought a friendly Major home
to dinner.
Now Peony was plump but bio
logical. She had never stepped
off Main Street, but her eyes could
seduce even a traffic policeman,
and to the Major she said, “This
it so nice!” as competently as a
woman press agent or an actress
ih her dressing room. By 10
O'clock the Major and the Doctor
and Peony were such a trio of
buddies that they telephoned,
long-distance, to George Riot, and
insisted on his (lying down and
joining them. (He didn’t.) Before
the Major was got into a com
plete state of liquid happiness,
however. Dr. Planish had planted
the seed of a Message: ,
“V know Colonel ,Marduc is a
figurehead on a lot of organiza
tions, but he never really has
anything to do with ’em—lets ’em
«* use his name and sends ’em a
small check, but he never knows
what they’re up to. Well, If he
really wants to be President of
the United States—”
“He doesn’t—he doesn’t at all.
I don't know how {hat rumor
started,” stated the Colonel’s very
own son-in-law.
Well then, Secretary of State
Or Ambassador to
“Maybe he might consider
those."
“He doesn't realize how an up
lift organization that he really
worked closely with could hook
his name up with all these idealis
tic movements that get the votes.
If he’d pay some attention, and
maybe some cash, to a crack ex
Ccutive—
“No, no, no! Thanks, Peony—
that’s plenty— whoa that s bet- , i
ter,” observed the Maiur. “No, ‘

I'm afraid the Colonel wouldn't
be interested in your Blessed to
Give bunch. He thinks that hav
ing'me there on the board as his
stooge is enough."
“That? Oh, that damn racket!
Of course not. I mean a more
general idealistic association, more
spiels about freedom and democ
racy. I’d like to talk to him, some
time.
The Doctor did not belabor his
message further, and not till after
more drinks did he probe the
Major' about the Colonel’s mys
terious relationship to Governor
Thomas Blizzard.
r POM BLIZZARD was one of the
A 20 men who, in 1937, had, a
chance to be Democratic nominee
for President in 1944, possibly
even in 1940.
It was commonly reported that
Governor Blizzard and Colonel
Marduc hacl a political under
standing,, but which not'explained, was to sup
port which was nor,
tonight, did Major Homeward ex
plain it. Perhaps, concluded the
Doctor, he didn’t know.
They sat about the green-topped
kitchen table, drinking highballs.
Carrie Planish, returning from
some unexplained engagement,
looked into the kitchen and sniffily
withdrew.
Peony darted after her, with
“Come in and meet Major Home
ward. Such a fine man, and im
portant socially.” t
“He looks to me like an old
silly,” murmured Carrie.
"Old? He’s not as old as your
father!”
“Well?”
“He’s one of the very cleverest
and most influential men in the
whole world of welfare promo
tion!”
“Honestly, Mother, Fm sorry,
but I don’t think I like influential
people or welfare or promotion.
I like better.
job is to know the technique
putting over an organization—
anything, or against anything
it’s on the right side.
I mean.
“And which do you regard as
the right side?” .
“I think that in any contro
versy, your side would probably
be the right side, Colonel.”
So he got the laugh that prom
ised him spiritual victory and five
thousand a year in salary.
“Are you doing anything for
dinner next Thursday—you and
your wife? Drop up to my place
8 o’clock, black tie. The
Colonel said it casually enough,
but to Dr. Planish rt was the
visitation of the Magi.
(To Be Continued)
night.” .
Peony stood bitterly in the hall.
She wasn’t. like that when she
was Iff! Why, she’d have been
all eager and flattered if her
mother had invited her in to help
impress an important guest! But
Carries—
Peony summed it all up. “I just
can’t make out these jazz babies!"
and she hastily rolled back into
the kitchen and had a highball.

j\_ WEEK later, Dr, Planish was
invited to accompany Major
Homeward on a pilgrimage to the
office of Colonel Marduc.

The throne-room at Marduc
Syco it Sagg’s was the master
piece of Bobbysmith, who ad
vertised himself as “the Gertrude
Stein of Interior Designing, >» it
was as plain and dignified as
Rockefeller Center, but a little
smaller.
The conversation between the
Colonel and Dr. Planish fell into
that atmosphere of an Oriental
court which always clung about
theMarducs. The Doctor salaamed
and said that be was honored; he
said that of course the Colonel
would never stoop to any political
job, but if he desired to, he could
be President of the United States
by 10 tomorrow morning.
He said that he himseif was the
humblest creature under Allah’s
beneficent sun, that he loved his
abounding present (well-paid) job, and was
loyal to Wheyfish
Pasfia, but if Colonel. Marduc de
cided to start a real organization,
one that would take the weak
little ideology of Democracy by
the hand and guide it tenderly,
then he hoped he might be abound
to give advice. He said that such
an organization might, inciden
tally, get its founder known
around as the chief subsidizer of
all Justice and Freedom.
And he said that now, as never
before, was the time, with the
war'going on between Japan smirking and
China and with Hitler
at Czechoslovakia.
“Not going to be any European
war!’’ snarled the Colonel.
“But it’s possible.”
“If there were, America would
never get into it. We’ll be so well
prepared that we won’t have to.”
“But even in the matter of pre
paredness, wo ought to have an
association that would be the first
big one that was keyed to war
psychology," argued the Doctor.
“If we started out now, and had
and hand-outs every
interpreting the news, then
get to be considered the final
no matter which way
the war-cat jumped—win, lose,
or stay out.”
“Who do you think of as asso
with us?”
“I wouldn't expect to decide
