Following Pentecost every Christian was a full time evangelist, but
economic collapse soon developed special tasks for all. The modern
church believes that every one is entitled to a fair chance. Even God
can do no more for men than that. That is one reason why we have
free schools. And not one of them said that aught of his possessions
was his own.—Acts 4:32.
Obstacle to Mobilization
IT is very difficult for an inexpert layman to wei^h the
* right and wrong of proposed cuts in defense expenditures.
The same need not be said, however, of the “rider” re-
cently approved by the house which puts a flat ceiling of
$46 billion on defense spending for the year beginning next
July.
The uncertainty of these times makes an arbitrary limit
on arms outlays just about the most foolish provision that
could be conceived. And it is no answer that in the event
of emergency it could be quickly set aside.
In case of real trouble, it would be merely one more
obstacle that would have to be cleared before full mobili-
zation would be possible.
gOME may contend that the threat of war with Russia is
today considerably more remote than it was a year or
so back. Perhaps so. But only a foolhardy man puts
his trust in exterior appearances where the Russians are
concerned.
Certainly we do not wish to spend ourselves into bank-
ruptcy, to pile up defensive strength that we do not need.
But neither must we hazard our security by hamstringing
our defenses so we become inviting targets for a Russia
which never abandons hope of destroying us.
In matters of military policy and foreign affairs, it is
impossible and impractical to attempt to take all power of
discretion away from the executive branch of government.
If you could do it successfully, you would only have wiped
out all flexibility of action in your government, a highly
dangerous condition in a world containing the Soviet Union.
PONGRESS has, of course, distrusted the present admin-
istration in these fields for some time. No impartial
viewer would contend that the administration lias not given
the lawmakers some-reason-for their attitude.
Yet, at least until next January, this administration
constitutes the executive government of the United States.
In the name of the country’s safety, it must be allowed a
reasonable amount of discretion—a sensible flexibility—in
conducting U. S. military and foreign policies. To do other-
wise would be to cut off our nose to spite our face, to take
political advantage at the cost of our security.
It should be possible to exercise an intelligent check upon
our military expenditures without putting the Pentagon
in a financial strait jacket.
The price of gas, tires, oil and repairs makes going broke
a very short trip by auto.
It won t be long until the bathing beaches will look like
a bunch of magazine covers.

iASIL WIIJjING turned. A man
1 stood nearby, tall, muscular
and hardy. His rather full lips
were smiling. His blue eyes were
clert and amused. "I’ve been look-
ing forward to this meeting for a
long time," he said cordially.
"You know me?"
"By n simple process of elimina-
tion: all the others arc here." The
man was still smiling. “Of course,
I know you by reputation and . . .
Will you excuse me a moment? I
see my sister Is growing impatient."
"But . . ." Basil was left alone.
A woman's voice spoke at his
elbow Imperiously. "I’ve been ex-
pecting you for the last half hour."
She sat in a wing chair close to
the smouldering fire. Her hair was
white; her eyes, deep-set in dis-
colored sockets; her mouth, drawn.
Only the eyes themselves—lan?e.
dark, lustrous—hinted at what she
might have been in her youth. One
hand held an ebony stick with an
Ivory handle.
"I think vou’vc made a mistake,"
began Basil.
"Mistake?" She was displeased.
Veins ns violet as her dress stood
out like earthworms coiled under
the skin of the hand that clenched
the stick. "Your voire is different
tonight. Not at nil the way it usual-
ly sounds."
"And I'm sure I look different,
too,” said Basil.
Again she interrupted. “Are you
lpughing at me. sir? You know I
am blind.”
#
ASIL looked at her eyes. For
the first time he saw that the
pupils were gray with cataract. “I
beg your pardon. I didn't realize.”
"That I’m totally blind? It doesn’t
matter.” Her voice sank almost to
a whisper. "I hear someone coming.
They’re always watching. Leaving
me at once, please!”
It was impossible to resist the
desperate urgency in her voice.
Basil moved toward the other end
of the room and lit a cigaret. look-
ing about for the little man with
the nil- of someone searching an
ash tray.
‘Why. Basil Willing! To think
of meeting you here!”
He turned. The face was pure
eighteenth century—arching brows
provoking eyes, flaring nos-
trils and demure mouth, all fash-
ioned on such a fine scale and with
such a flawless texture that it was
porcelain to the earthenware of
the other faces. Her hair was the
ripe, dark gold of autumnal wheat.
She wore it brushed away from
brow and ear, free and floating.
Her shoulders were dazzling white
above the dense black of a sleeve-
less gown. "You don't remember
me? No matter!" Soft laughter un-
derlined her next words. "We are
all supposed to know each other!”
• * *
OAIN the tone Implied a double
■ meaning that escaped him.
Something seemed to stir in that
part of memory below the thresh-
bring it to the surface. “Why
shouldn’t I be here?"
"Well, I’ve always associated you
with the other side of the fence."
"What fence. Rosamund?"
She was serious now. "So you do
remember me?”
"Who could forget Rosamund
Finlay?”
"Yet we met only a few times.
Before the war. wasn’t it? So much
has happened .slno** one thing,
I’m no longer Rosamund Finlay.”
"You’re married?" He was sur-
prised. At 18 Rosamund Finlay
had taken the small world of fash-
ion by storm. Newspapers and
magazines carried her fame out-
side that world until she became
a popular symbol of beauty, gaiety
and elegance.
“Yes, rm married." Rosamund
hesitated. "There’s my husband.
You know him? Thereon Yorke,"
She looked toward the other end
of the room, at a stout, gray-haired
man twice her age who stood be-
fore the fire with one hand on the
white marble mantelpiece.
"I've heard of him," said Basil.
Thereon Yorke belonged to an-
other world. During the twenties
he had owned the most discreet
speakeasy in Manhattan. No trouble
with police. No hint of the sordid
or brutal. His artless patrons had
never believed the stories about his
relations with the underworld. He
kept those patrons after Repeal.
The speakeasy became a night club
—the sort where there is no floor
show and the food is as good as the
wine. But why had Rosamund Fin-
lay married Thereon Yorke
YJASIL smiled. "I'm looking
" someone I expected to find
here this evening and I don't see
him. He's a little man, middleaged
and rather plump, with an anxious
manner. I can’t tell you his name
because I don't knowi It myself. Has
he been here?”
"No.” It was Rosamund’s turn
to be puzzled. "Only the people
you see here now."
"Then I’ll have to ask you to
excuse me while I explain to my
host.”
“Dr. Zimmer? Better not inter-
rupt him while he’s talking to Miss
Shaw."
Basil looked down the long room.
The man who had welcomed him
was approaching the blind woman
still beside the fire. "Miss Shaw?”
"Don’t you know her?” Rosamund
was disconcerted. “I thought she
spoke to you when you came in.”
“She mistook me for someone
else," said Basil. ”1 didn't even
know her name.”
“She is Katherine Shaw," ex-
plained Rosamund. “Very old, very
ls-ir.e, very blind and very rich. The
man behind her is her nephew.
Brinsley Shaw. The woman in gray
on the other side is her compan-
ion. a Miss Dean. I daresay you
know all the others.”
"Yours is the only familiar face.”
"Then I’ll be your cicerone. The
sickly looking man by the piano Is
Stephen Lawrence."
"The poet?"
“I believe he does write verse.
The pale girl beside him Is his
daughter. Perdita. The frivolous
Y1AVE been reading a .series of
articles In the morning dally
by a professor of medicine whose
current subject Is hypertension or
HBP. He spent approximately 22
column Inches telling us that in
all but a few cases the disease
is an "essential” hypertension,
and no localized cause will ever
be found to explain it.
As a layman I can tell him a
a reason which he has com-
pletely overlooked. The effect is
general over a majority of indi-
viduals who can read. It produces
a sudden rise in blood pressure
which simmers down to a slow
burn lasting in some instances
for hours and leaves the sufferer
with an ingrowing grouch per-
manently reflected in his deal-
ings with publishers of the print-
ed word.
It is that deplorable practice of
those uninhibited individuals who
make up magazines and newspa-
pers with the ‘who. why, what,
when and where’ under or nt
least reasonably close to the pic-
ture and at the bottom of the
column In the finest of print in
parenthesis (more on page 5-A).
Thumbing to page 5-A the
search begins. A once over lightly
turns up nothing remotely related
to the story on page 1. Reader
backs up to page l-A to be sure
of his facts, and again turns to
5-A. This time he checks more
than the headlines, he really
looks for a clue. Not there. Again
he turns to page l-A. He knows
he is wrong and that before he
can pursue the treasure hunt he
mast detect the initial clue.
Okay, it says “more on 5-A."
This time he spreads the paper
on the table and with the ut-
most care he reads the page up
and down and crossways. It sim-
ply Isn’t there.
He is defeated, he is furious,
he throws the paper down and
in a loud voice condemns all
make-up men to the nether re-
gions where there is news galore
but it is too hot Tor lead type;
swears he will take his advertis-
ing out of the filthy rag, he will
—, he will—.
He eyes the papers scattered
on the floor. He sneaks a look at
a page he hasn’t seen. A head-
line attracts him. With a sneak-
ing feeling of inconsistency he
leans over, picks up the paper
and there on page 2-A is the rest
of the story for which he has
hunted. "Mere typographical er-
ror. 5-A instead of 2-A, what’s
the odds, old bean, now really,”
say the proof readers.
It isn’t the incidence of human
error which raises the reader's
blood pressure to the boiling
point. It is the subtle reason for
maintaining a practice so damag-
ing to dispositions. There Is dom-
ance in advertising, and most
readers are by their newspapers
as was Jim Williams by the fried
chicken. Said Jim “Might as well
begin with the neck, we’re going
to eat it all anyway, aren’t we?”
We’re going to read it all any-
way. couldn’t we have it consecu-
tively?

(To Be Continued)
LEAVES SOUVENIR
GARY, Ind. —(U.R)— Raymond
Moore reported to police someone
stole his overcoat. It wasn’t a com-
plete loss though. The thief, ap-
parently shorter than Moore, cut
off the coat tails and left them
behind.
Russell is In the unique lxxsition of
having so many friends backing
him in the Florida presidential
primary May 8 that a few of them
are actually embarrassing him.
Presidential candidate Russell is
backed by both Florida Senators
Holland and Smathers, by all six
of the Florida congressmen and by
Governor Fuller Warren.
It has now come to light that
Governor Warren has been using
state funds to distribute an attack
on Senator Russell’s rival, the
crime-busting Senator Estes Ke-
fauver of Tennessee. The attack
consists of a reprint from “U. S. A.
Confidential." Governor Warren's
defense is that he cannot be held
accountable for money given to him
by the state for promoting its best
Interests.
Next, it was disclosed that Sen-
ator Holland had been a beneficiary
from the will of Henry Mills. He
was the New York marine insurance
underwriter whose Washington In-
vestigator had been Henry Grune-
wald, the non-talking witness in the
Bureau of Internal Revenue tax-
fixing investigations. Holland ad-
mitted knowing Grunewald and said
he thought him a fine man.
Then the Russell forces arranged
for a big political rally, and who
should decide to come down and
help celebrate but Governor Her-
man Talmadge of Georgia.
Finally, two slates of Russell
delegates to the Chicago nominat-
ing convention have been filed for
the second, May 27. Florida pri-
mary.
One slate is made up of Dlxle-
crats, the other of regular Demo-
crats. If Russell gives his blessing
to one it will make the other angry.
The senator’s main problem while
campaigning in Florida will be to
try to work out one compromise
slate of delegates before the ballots
are printed.
All these complications have
made Senator Kefauver’s camp
hopeful. Originally they saw little
chance of winning anything in
Florida.

A BIG plug for all-out aid to the
French in Indo-China will be
contained in New York Governor
Thomas E. Dewey’s new book,
“Touring the Far East." Governor
Dewey is said to feel that if Indo-
China is lost to the Commies,
Japan will fall into Stalin’s lap
and the free world will lose all
Asia.
Senator Robert S. Kerr of Okla- ‘
homa Is doing a lot of his prcsl- i
dential campaigning by radio and
television. As a guest on various
quiz programs, he gets this time
free.
Having appeared on ABC's

on the 29th. and Bob Considine's
TV show the s&me night. May 6
he’s in "On Trial” over ABC and
two nights later on the CBS
