U. S. Can Inspire Europe
A FEW weeks ago it looked as if the French elections
, could change the strategy of the western world.
The middle-of-the-road coalition which controlled the
government—at times precariously—was threatened by what
Premier Herriott called “two monolithic oppositions,” the De
Gaullists on the extreme right, the Communists on the ex-
treme left.
Now that the votes are in, it looks as if the “two mono-
lithic oppositions” did pretty well for themselves. The De
Gaullists became the most powerful party in France. The
Communists got the biggest popular vote.
But under the new French election laws, the nationa
assembly will be a six-way government; the four blocs in
the middle can control things by coalition just the way the
old assembly operated.
TTOE fact that there is, in essence, no radical change
the French government-by-confusion is not exactly cause
for rejoicing in the rest of the western world, however.
Perhaps the new election laws made the ballot so con-
fusing to the average Frenchman that he didn’t know ex-
actly what he was voting for. But the evidence remains that
even if they lost nearly 80 seats, the Commies still have a
lot of popular support, just as they have in Italy where they
are now bigger than any single party despite an anti-Com
munist government.
Fear of what’s around the corner is what’s keeping
France. Italy and the rest of Europe from any real stability
these days. And, as Leon Dennen, NEA’s roving European
correspondent pointed out in a pre-election roundup from
Paris, “Fear is Moscow’s stock in trade.”
FINANCIAL aid alone is not enough to conquer that fear.
We have to fight propaganda with propaganda to give
free Europe a moral boost along with economic help.
Instead, we haven’t looked very stable ourselves at times
Maybe we aren’t afraid, but we’ve shown certain signs of
the jitters that Europeans could well interpret as fear
Even though we’re a new world, since 1776 we have had
h heritage as proud—prouder—than any the old world can
boast. #
Ali? we ashamed of boasting, of talking louder than the
Kremlin! We have no reason to be.
And we have no reason for not making confidence our
stock in trade. If we inspire the nervous western Euro-
peans with that confidence, the balance of power will be
intact.
Then see what happens to Moscow’s program of fear.
The height of laughter is when a laundress ruins one

PAUL METZKER or one oi nix
henchmen had followed me to
the police station. I had been sure
that all I had to do was go to the
police with my story. I had gone,
and I had come away again, dis-
illusioned and frightened and
knowing that I would have to be
dead before the supercilious young
police lieutenant believed what I
had told him.
Then my fright gave birth to
the Idea that I run away, and be-
come Caroline Leigh In the run-
ning. It was after Carl called me
Into his office and asked If I were
dissatisfied with his Identification
of the woman's body as Caroline,
If that was why I had been to
headquarters.
I felt trapped until, suddenly,
the plan was there. Pull-blown.
I could become Caroline instead of
Mary Tobias!
Frantically, I went through the
desk we shared, collected a couple
of letters from Bart Jonathan, the
lawyer who had written her that
she, as Paul Leigh’s widow, had
inherited a small and “not very
valuable" piece of property near
Hollister, Ind.; a marriage Ucenae
Issued to Paul Lester Leigh and
Caroline Burson; her library card
Then I cut of my hair. The
weird flight had begun.
Now it was to begin again. Only
this time there was no place to
go. no other Identity to don al-
most as simply as I had the new
clothes that had helped make the
metamorphosis complete.
In Hollister I stuck out like the
well-known sore thumb: I was
new, an outsider, who had mar-
ried "poor dear Paul" and then
lost him so soon. You can’t hide
from people who have known
since his diaper days the man they
think you were married to.
Bart Jonathan told me that, al
though not In so many words, as
I sat in his office that first day.
"You will find Hollister differ-
ent from New York, Mrs. Leigh,'
he said, his eyes soberly on mine.
For a girl used to a big city—"
He paused, and grinned. "I'm
sorry. Don't let me discourage
you."
“I won't." He didn’t know what
lay behind the firmness. ”1 know
the house won’t be a city apart-
ment. Mr. Jonathan, but I had
planned to spend my vacation here,
at least." I made myself smile, al-
though my lips felt stiff. "I might
even stay."
The young lawyer fiddled with
the papers on his desk; I prayed
he wouldn’t ask me to sign them.
Not Just yet. -Of course. I might
be able to sell the place for you.
but—”
Trying to sound like an Inter-
ested heiress. 1 said, "But what?"
Bart Jonathan's chuckle was em-
barrassed "Paul’s Uncle Peter
was more or less the recluse. Mrs.
Leigh. The house Is not in very
good shape."
oo*
ipHAT hadn't mattered. Until five
* minutes ago. I had been per-
fectly willing to struggle with the
wood-burning fireplace and the
drafty old coal range and the lack
of plumbing. It hadn't been fun.
but until I heard Carl's voice on
the phone. It had been security.
I went to the kitchen, measured
coffee into the aluminum perco-
lator that I had bought to replace
the grimy old pot Paul Leigh's
Uncle Peter had used, dippered
water Into It and set It carefully
on the coal stove. I needed the
calming effect of strong coffee, it
might help me think straight, keep
me from running headlong to no-
where.
There was still time, with Carl
calling from New York and pull-
ing the innocent, worried act about
my disappearance, but no more
than It takes a plane from La-
Guardta Field.
I had my coffee before a re-
plenished fire in the old grate and
with It a sizeable chunk of apple-
sauce cake a neighbor woman had
sent over by her son when he
came to cut fireplace wood for me
that afternoon. Bart Jonathan
was right, I was finding Hollister
different from New York.
And I was wrong. I would not
be staying, not that I had enter-
tained the thought seriously. Hiat
had been the background for the
lie I was living, the lie Bart Jona-
than would not understand.
The telephone rang a couple oi
times, once for me. as night pinned
clouds across the sky for an early
darkness, but I didn’t answer It
ooo
I PUT the coffee cup on the man-
* tie beside Pete Leigh’s picture
of Caroline and her Paul. I had to
get away from Hollister, now—to-
night Morning would bring Carl
and—and— I refused to think the
rest of it, but I could not close
my mind to Caroline's wistful
eyes, her stubborn belief that, one
day. Carl Metzker would see her
as something more than an effi-
cient cog in his public relatione
office machinery.
Oh. Carl was clever, all right
And cruel. Caroline's death—and
mine — to him would be merely
self-preservation, the prime law of
naturl. He would go on contact-
ing slimy little men who had be-
trayed their souls, he would go
on paying them, and men who de-
served to live would die because
of It.
Before the fear could come
again, I went to the telephone.
Bart Jonathan had to believe me)
I cranked the old telephone and
watted for the operator.
Realization and blind terror
came hand in hand. There wasn’t
even the dull hum of an empty
line. Minutes ago the phone had
been ringing. Now only a broken
—or a cut—wire could register
such nothingness.

STILLWATER. June 27—(Spe-
cial i—Ex-servicemen back in uni-
form or disabled veterans under
public law l« are still eligible for
educational benefit*, reports H. V.
Posey, veterans’ service officer at
Oklahoma A. and M. college.
Unless they are enrolled this
summer or have finished the spring
semester, other OIs under public
law 348 have allowed their training
program benefits to fade away Into
the distant past.
The July 25 deadline thla sum-
mer will cut veterans enrollment
throughout the entire United States.
Public law 16 which covers disabled
veterans will not be affected by
this deadline.
Of some 1,300 veterans enrolled
at A. and M. for the summer se-
mester, there are about 200 to 280
who have enrolled for the first
time to keep their eligibility from
expiring. Posey said.

Needless to say, I bought it. I
fall for that kind of attention

else. Be the sale large or small,
no customer likes to be treated
with indifference, which, as Andy

“Is the thing some folks has got
the most of.”
Under no other circumstances
does personality stand out so
plainly as in the process of a sale,
on both the customer and the
salesperson.
Buying something gives most of
us an exalted sense of our own

indifference. Result, No Sale.
