THE STORY: Jack Duggan, a
orivate delective, was murdered
and Miss Katherine Shaw dies
ynder mysterious circumstances
iollowing & dinner given by a
psychiatrist at which Duggan ap
peared to be impersonating Basil
willing. Although the dinner was
cwemingly part of Dr. Zimmer's
{reatment of some of his patients,
there seems to be many suspicious
circumstances surrounding _the
guests. Dr. Zimmer has decided
{y resume the llfiwfhtl- Char
lotte Dean, Miss Shaw’s secretary,
(ogards her invitation with sus
picion, but Basil thinks she will
b in no danger and wants her to

takes place sk
XXII
Basil Willing’s library was a
nlrasant place to spend the long
hours that decline so gently from
I,te afternoon to sunset in spring.
At one end, tall windows stood
onen to the bustle and drama of
the street scene with a wide ex
nanse of sky above the low build
inss opposite, and the room was
<, deep that one could sit there
-hserving, unobserved. Usually
gasil enjoyed these hours of the
; more than any other, but
rriday evening he was troubled.
Wwhat's wrong?” asked Gisela
etly after Juniper had brought
in mint juleps.

v day. 1 let Charlotte Dean

neople who were there the night

“Is there any reason why she
shouldn’t?”
“I don’t know of any, but I don't
like the idea.”
Gisela did not mention the mat
ter again until after dinner when
curtains were drawn, the fire lit,
and they sat before it, drinking
coffee,
“Has it occurred to you that
Duggan may have been killed be
cause someone really believed he
was Basil Willing?”
“It has occurred to Brinsley
Shaw.”
“Maybe he was trying to clear
Rosamund Yorke. She’s the only
person who knew from the begin
ning that Duggan was not Basil
Willing.”
“He was trying to clear Brinsley
Shaw. And he tried quite adroitly
to kill two birds with one stone—
first, to scare me off the case;
second, to make me believe that
Duggan’s death had nothing to do
with Miss Shaw’s employing Dug
gan and therefore that Miss Shaw
had died a natural death. Dug
gan’s death didn’t worry Brinsley
so much, since he had no apparent
motive for killing Duggan. But I
was not fooled by Brinsley’s sug
gestion. It couldn’t be coincidence
that Miss Shaw and Duggan, a
private detective she employed,
died the same night after being
with the same people.”
“Have the people checked Dr.
Zimmer’s account of his back
ground?”
“Of course. All the available
facts are just as he and his sister.
said. Whoever poisoned Duggan,
it can’t have been Zimmer.”
“You say that Duggan was
poisoned by someone who knew
he was a private detective. Zim
mer could have found that detec
tive license while Duggan was
still alive.”
* * *
“But Zimmer was nowhere near
Duggan’s glass while Duggan was
drinking. I was watching Zimmer
all that time.”
“What about Otto? He served
the cocktails. It would have been
easy for him.” :
“How could Otto possibly know
Duggan was a private detective?”
“Zimmer might have told him.”
“Impossible. Zimmer and Otto
didn’'t speak to each other after
Duggan came. They weren’t even
close enough to speak to each
other.”
Pensively Gisela looked into the
fire where a feather of blue flame
fluttered at the heart of incandes
cent red coals. “Why do you trust
Charlotte Dean so much?”
‘““‘Her embarrassment and every
thing else about her at our first
meeting seemed more like inno
cence than Brinsley Shaw's cool
ness, so I'm willing to take a
chance on Miss Dean. She dosen’t
seem to like Brinsley, but—l wish
I knew what Miss Shaw meant
when she said: “They’re always
watchinc[.' ‘Who were ‘they? Brin
sley and Miss Dean are the logical
candidates—both heirs to Miss
Shaw’s money, both members of
her household whom she didn’t
confide in when she engaged Dug
gan. Is there anyone else she
might link with Brinsley? Perhaps
Isolda Canning, with whom he is
so friendly?”
Basil rose to pace the floor while
Gisela sat still on the sofa, lis
tening, chin in hand, eyes still on
the fire.
“Miss Shaw suspected someone
was trying to kill her,” mused Ba-'
sil. “I do not say her suspicion was
correct.”
- * *
The telephone rang. Basil halted
his pacing. Gisela lifted her chin
from her hand and turned her
eyes toward his. As they looked
at one another, the bell pealed
again, stridently, insistently.
“I hope that isn’t what I think
it is!”
Basil reached the telephone in
three strides.
Gisela looked at the clock. It
was nearly midnight.
“Hello?”
A weak voice whispered, “Dr.
Willing?”
“Miss Lawrence!”
“Please come to our house at
once.” Over the telephone wires
he could hear her breath throb
unevenly. “Something dreadful
has happened.”
“What is it?” he demanded.
“My father. I think he’s dying.
But there may be a chance to save
him—if you come quickly.”

Air Punch May Spark Major "Break” In Truce
Allied strategists believe the
UN’s stepped -up air war in
Korea may prove a major factor
in ending the Red's year-long
stalling in truce talks. Map at
right shows where the enemy
has suffered damaging blows re
centy from fleets of Allied
planes. Until June 23, when 500
UN planes kayoed lilive power
plants, the Allies had spared
Red hydroelectric plants from
air assaults in an effort to show
the Chinese no invasion of their
territory was threatened. Serv
ing further notice that the Allies
will play rough until Communist
truce negotiators quit their stub
born stand on the long-dead
docked prisoner exchange issue
were the recent statement by
Gen. J. Lawton Collins and the
mass Thunderjet flight described
in layout below.

Protesting the assauls on the 3000-foot Supung dam (at left), Red truce team chief Gen. Nam Il |
labeled the raid an attempt to intimidate Communist truce negotiators. Snapped U. 8. Army Chief |
of Staff Gen. J. Lawton Collins (inset), “If the Communists insist on fighting they’re going to be in
for some tough bombings.”. Collins called the recent flight of three squadrons of Thunderjets (at

Air Force Investigaies Reporis
Of Flying Saucers Near Capifal
~ WASHINGTON, July 23—(AP).
'The Air Force this week investi=
gated reports that several “flying
‘saucers” have been spotted by ra
dar wirtually in its own back yard
on the ouiskirts of the nation’s
capital.
- Not only were unidentified ob
jects seen on radar—indicating ac
}tual substance instead of mere
‘light—but two airline pilots and
'a newsman saw eerie lights fitting
the general description of flying
saucers the same night. .
Officials could not immediately
agree on whether this was the
first time radar has picked up
flying saucers. Some said it was.
All agreed it was unusual. |
Slower Speed |
The objects also were different
from the average reported saucer‘
in that they traveled at a rela
tively slow speed, as well as later i
disclosing the customary burst)
burst that far outspeeds normal
airplanes.
Saucer reports, officials had
said earlier yesterday, are coming
in faster than at any time since |
the initial flood in 1947. The cur
rent average is about 100 sight
ings a month.
The flying saucers over the cap
ital were reported late yesterday,
about 36 hours after the incident
actually occurred.
This is the story as pieced to
gether from Air Force reports,
persons involved, and other
sources: |
Eight Images
An operator at the air traffic
control center at Washington Na
tional Airport, across the Potomac
from the capital, spotted eight un
identified images on one of his
radars —the area surveilance

miles.
The images were slow moving,
