 "No,' answered Dom from his cot.
 DO you realize that because you weren't frightened is one of the req sons why you're here?"
 "Yes."
 Dom explained that because I was a Scout, I had learned that when you're lost you follow streams and are bound to end up some place.
 q made camp at night by first hunting for an old tree trunk or pine tree shelter. Then I just laid down and went to sleep. Once I found an old bag and then slept in that to keep out the cold. couldn't keep track of the days after the second day. You know, thought it was Sunday when ik really was Tuesday, that day they found me.
 T ate berries and drank stagnant water, but I was awfully hungry. It's terrible to be so awful hungry, and once in a while I'd have tummy ache. And I prayed one whole hour
 Nov, may I say Q word to the kids?" Then he shouted into the microphone to his Rye, N. Y., play mates:
 "Hi kids! I'm fine and glad to be back. See you later"
 Concluding the interview, Dom said:
 Sure. I'm going to continue to be Scout Yes. I'm going up Mt Katahdin again and I want to thank all the people who've been search ing for me and who've helped me
 Dom was reunited with his mother yesterday on an isolated riverbank near grindstone. and later with hif father at the hospital here where the elder Fender also is a patient as result of injuries and exhaustion ] suffered during the long search.

Crowds at Victoria station shout ed denunciations when a man was heard to say that the terrorists were justified, and 1t was necessary for police to escort him from the scene, In Hyde Park, 8 crowd rushed soap box orator who mentioned the l. R. A.
 There was an exhibition of anger even in the dignified House of Com mons. Members were considering the new bill to give the police special powers to deal with terrorists when news was received of the Victoria station bombing.
 Stop the talk and pass the billl" members shouted. Labor party men withdrew their opposition-they had argued that it might be widened to restrict other people than terrorists and within five minutes, without a record vote, the bill was finally passed and sent to the House of Lords.
 It was forecast that the Lords would pass it early next week and send 1t to King George for his as- 1 sent.
 Scotland Yard planned to round up hundreds if not thousands of suspected terrorists as soon as the bill was passed. It was under stood that 400 terrorist suspects were being shadowed and would be de- ported to Ireland at once and that Irishmen all over England would be questioned.
 Fifteen thousand policemen in the London area alone were given special duties in connection with the terrorist campaign. Authorities were now convinced first that the I. R. A. was ready to sacrifice in- nocent lives in pursuit of Its cam paign and secondly that a foreign government was backing 1t.
 Scotland Yard sent out an alarm for a "man in a slouch hat" n connection with the Kings Cross bombing. But there had been witt nesses to but few of the 128 terror ist outrages in recent months. Usual ly bombs are planted in suit cases in baggage rooms at railroad sta- tons. subway stations. public utili- ties or bridgeheads, or bombs are dropped into letter boxes. By the time the bombs explode the terror ists are safely away.
 As the result of yesterdays bomb- ings special police guards were put at railroad terminals all over Eng land to which the bombinss have been confined-and plain clothes mne mingled with passengers. No- tices were posted at railroad stations that the police reserved the right Co inspect any baggage offered for checking.
 Passengers on steamers arTiv- ing from Ireland and their baggage were watched closely.

Flanagan Plans
Large Addition To
Cabarrus Hospital

Eric c. Flanagan, Henderson ar
chitect, is preparing plans, he said
today, for virtually doubling the new
Cabarrus county hospital at Con-
cord, which he designed and the con-
struction of which he supervised two
years ago at the time it was erected.
The hospital originally had from
rs to 100 beds, and some rs more
beds are being provided for in the
new addition. Mr.. Flanagan said the
county is issuing bonds in the sum
Of 100000, and is receiving $4,000
additional as a gift from the Duke
Foundation to provide for the new
hospital extension.
He has also just completed super
vision of the construction of a new
35-bed hospital at Dunn, which he
also designed.
AT the Concord hospital, the Duke
Foundation assisted very materially
in erection of the first unit two years
ago, while the county financed the
remainder.
Mr.. Flannagn said the hospital
stays nearly full most of the time,
even now, and there is a constantly
growing demand for larger facilities,
which prompted the authorities to
move for enlargement of the property
and its capacity to care for sick peo-
pie needing disqualification

Lolling on the sofa, sur rounded by beautiful women, was a handsome young man with a pale face, dark handswept hair, and wearing a flowing black tie. and a velveteen jacket. It was William Butler Yeats. Being at the age when a. hard-working newspaperman was apt to look down on anybody, even poet, who seemed to be a lady's man, I conceived a sort of aversion to him and did not listen to the verses the women were beginning him to quote.
