DEAR MISS DIX: I have been married for one year. My hus- band and I are congenial in every way except that he keeps speak- ing of his ex-wife. l'vc hll1lNI that I do not care to hear her name mentioned. but still he continues. I've tried to ignore it. but it stays in my heart and mind. 3 C

ANSWER: One thing every second wife can make up her mind to-she will eternally live in the house with the memory of wife No. l. Since your husband ignore: your wishes in this matter. all you can do is listen, smile and walk away. If he sees that you are not annoyed by references to his former mate, he'll stop them.

DOROTHY DIX cannot reply personally to read:-ra, but will ans- wer problems of general interest through her column.

By Phlillpi mi;

He nodded. "The problem be- fore the house is how to clear the suspicion for the murder from your lovely name. offhand, it looks like a. hard job. What you newspaper folk call a tough as- signment. But I see a light. 1 think. unless it's only a mirage. Maybe I'll know for certain after

you've told me about 'rhorpe's enterprises." She nodded. "Have you lot I

cigarette? I came without. any. I don't use them often. but when I'm nervous and talk a. lot they help."

He remembered that there had been no cigarettes in her hand- bag. He pulled out a packase and offered it to her, then held his lighter to the cigarette when she

put. it between her lips. He looked at her closely as she leaned for- ward toward the flame. ”The.whole system." she began. "works so well because it's so sim- ple. Simple things always seem to

get the best of others." she look- ed at him meaningly. iie grinned. Thanks for the

compliment. So I'm simple. Go on with the story."

"Thorpe controlled three of the biggest. wards in town. At any elec- tlon, he could swing those wards about 95 per cent for anybody he

chose. That made him plenty powerful and he could get just about whatever he wanted from

the politicians."

Terry nodded.

"Well. it occurred to him that he could get away with anything in this town, so he decided to make some money for himself. The only way to make money in a hurry is to forget about the laws, so he opened up a gambling house. The mayor agreed not to close it up in exchange for Thorpe's support. it worked out. fine." "when was that?" "About: four years after the mayoralty you remember it was a close race and the mayor got in by Just. the number of votes that Thorpe swung for him. He knew he had to swing along with Thorpe, or else. Anyway, that first joint Thorpe opened did pretty well, but not as well as he wanted. so he got the mayor to close up all the competing joints. After that it was easy sledding. That first place started to be over- crowded and rich folks in other districts began to complain about having to travel so far to lose their money, so he opened up two

more houses. By that time the mint. had nothing on Thorpe." Terry listened attentively. He

felt quite certain that this story was the truth. so far only a few loose threads to her explanations remained to leave him in doubt. She continued. "But once he had everything running smoothly he took another step. This time it was the slot machines. when he declared himself in on a 20 per cent cut of that there wasn't any- thing the operators could do. If they resisted, the police would hear down on them and put. them out. of business. so they paid Thorpe off. He worked the small 10UeT.V racket the same way." Terry was beginning to form a mental picture of rich society folk throwing away their money lav- ishly in luxuriant gambling hous-

es: of clerics and stenographers putting their small change into the hands of the corner bookie in the hope that a certain horse would come in first; of children playing away their pennies and nickel; in slot machines in the

hope of wlhning a five dollar bill: and behind it all, Thorpe, filling his coffers with the proceeds. His normal hatred for murder faded at. the thought; whoever had killed Thorpe began to seem almost like a benefactor. But it was murder. and Kay Was involved: right now that was all that counted.

She seemed to sense his thought- fulness. but went on. "By this time he had a..hand in every pocket of almost everybody in town. But. then he got a brilliant idea. He knew that some society women have a lot of time on their hands and plenty of loose money that they were willing to spend for

thrill. so be arranged to have them gamble during the after- noons so their husbands and

fathers wouldn't know about it. He was smart enough to know that once they got to gambling they'd keep going until they lost. more than they could hide from their husbands. so when the women found themselves in a Jam.

Star of Undercover Agents Promoted

(By GERALD WARING)

UITAWA-Promotions are rout- ine in the R. C.M. P., but when a promotion elevates an "original member of the Canadian Commun- ist Party to the ranktof R.C.M.P. superintendent, that's news.

Supt. John Leopold Joined the Communist Party shortly after it was formed in 1921. At that time he was a rookie Mountie. Thar, for seven long years he was an R. C.M.P. undercover man within the Red organization, maintaining the most amazing deception in the annals of Canadian police work.

The almost forgotten exploit by the nation's foremost. antlaubvers- lve agent brought on the contin- ent's first crackdown on Com- munist leaders, and resulted in the imprisonment. of eight of them for periods of up to five years.

Now 61. and already over the R. C. M, P. retirement age. Supt. Leopold no longer risks his life by personally infiltrating the Red or- ganizations which are bent on de- straying Canadian democracy. In- stead. he directs many phases of R.C.M.P, anti-Communist activities from his desk in Ottawa's justlcc building. .

O O O

Leopold Joined the Mounties in 1918, five years after he had emig- rated to Canada from his native Bohemia. He was intelligent, well educated, and spoke four languag- es, so it was natural that his au- periors should select him for spec- ial undercover duties.

Thus it was that John Leopold disappeared from the ken of his

fountie comrades. Shortly there- after at? itinerant housepaintcr named Jack Esseiwein gained at- i..'li.l0n in Regina as a "dangerous radical”. He joined the Com- munist Party, became secretary of the Regina organization and a member of the district. committee which ruled the Reds in Saskatch- ewan and Manitoba.

He worked in Winnipeg. attend- ed party conventions, and event- ually moved to Toronto, where he became a confidant of party lead- er Tim Buck and other Commun- ist officials.

All the while Fsselwcin-or No. 30, as he was known to the few high ranking R. C. M. P. officers who were aware of his dual ident- ity-was transmitting voluminou.-. reports which in 1931 were to send eight of his erstwhile Communist pals to prison for membership in an illegal organization.

0 O I

It was love that brought about Esselwelnls downfall as a Com- munist. A former Mouutie who had been a recruit with Leopold was living in California. and was in love with the daughter of a stonemason. The prospective fath- er-in-law was a Communist, and in conversation with him the one- time Mountle let out the fact that Leopold was an R.C.M.P. spy in the Canadian Communist organiz- ation. A

Then the heat was on. The Canadian Communist icadcrs. al- erted by fl. warning from Califor- llla. found that the former Mount- le's description of Leopold tallied with that. of Esselwein. Other in- crlmlnating evidence was uncover- ed. Then the polltburo in Toronto expelled Essclweln from the partv. and Leopold reappeared on the R. C.M.P. rolls as a sergeant.

He was assigned to Arctic duty, more for hlsotrn protection against the wrath of his Red, cmirades than for any other season. After the conviction of the Communist leaders in trials in which he was the star Crown witness. Leopold was moved to a desk job in the R.C.M.P.'s special branch. That. is ihe bureau which works uncens- lngly to uncover spies and sabot- eurs, and in turn seeks to sabotage subversive organizations.

For years Leopold matched his wits against Communists. Nazis, Fascists, enemy spies and sabot. curs. and narcotics rings-and sel- dom lost. He knows more about Communist activities in this coun- try than any other man outside the inner party council And his recent promotion to Superintend. ent may well foreshadow intensi- 'ncd efforts to combat Communism

It was left with us by a farmer- vlsltor as "tall. dark and hand- some" as ever was the one a Gypsy-reader found in the lines of our palm in the long ago. Like odd lads. and whether from choice or circumstance we do not know. he has no car. And he was of the opinion "You've got to go after them in a car nowadays!" "But James had no car in his palmy days!" we pointed out. "No. but James didn't do his courting in 1961!" he offered.

Which left us with the thought . . .wbat would James do in this Day of Grace? would he beg of someone..- granddaughter per- haps- "Wheres that tin of axle- grease?" and drawing the old wagon from storage proceed to lu- bricate the wheels. trying, we are sure the fifth one to prove it road- worthy? would he wash it. with a hose instead of down on "the gang-way bridge" as once. until it

"The first week after exposure should be devoted to observation and good nursing care. Then the antibiotics, the tr-ansfusions. and the drugs that combat hemor- rhage should be used in treatment during the second week and there- after."
