down Flelning's Ire rose, but his

u steps stating that It was plain to be
8 enitEat he was not to have square
deal there. Some OF Fleming's friends
Escirculated the report that he. had his
-pfcture on a telephone pole. This was
tssa mistake; \ 1t was on the door OF the
Normal son forbidden ground and Mr..
IL lehman had a legal right to pull 1t
