What action the state department

upon the reply of the allies. which is

This was the positive declaration

did not know much about it ourselves. Myra
mentioned this fact and he replied;
well, you know more than they will know
All you will have TO do Is to stall around. talk

When the scene faded out and came back to

Mr.. Merton reasoned that with two or three
