"We are faced with the same
problem that George Washington
was faced WITH" he said. I'VE find
that while many of these boats are
American they are operat-

Harrison said many of these
boats have a cruising radius of 600
miles and are of type that might
be useful for national defense but
under the present situation would
not be available to this government
because they were alien-operated.

 F4Ah, friendslv shouted the King .e So Eric and Leezen told them their adventures but they didn't tell the most important part: that they must find a Queen for tile King. That they kept secret.
 But Eric had plan. Sire. he said to the King, your subjects are peaceful. It is getting near Christmas up in Santa's Toyland. It would warm your heart to see him. Come with us there"
 "Why, fine!" said the King. But just then dawn began to turn the sky pale blue. Leezen's eyelids fiuttered, she smiled and then she stiffened and became only a doll.
 Poor little doll" said Eric and he stroked her yellow curls. Then he turned to the King. 'I'll hold Leezen and ride on the fox's back. You ride your fine, white horse and Elsa can ride with you"

 So they had big breakfast of hot cakes and chocolate and sweet, golden figs. And then they started out. Eric peered ahead, anxiously looking for those mountains he had seen on the way to the Kings castle. They were the mountains that only grow higher when pec-

ple climb them. But he didn't see them. So he told the King. The King laughed and said, fThey are only there for young, hasty people like you. Once you have passed them you never see them again"
 So the party rode on as lightly as the wind. By dusk they hadn't sighted Toyland yet, and the King and Elsa were growing very cold. So Eric took out his flute and played a lovely, teasing tune and suddenly the air was filled with slim, gray ladies whose long hair streamed behind them.
 'tHow far to Toyland?" shouted Eric. "Ma-a-a-any miles" the gray fairies whispered. But we are the winds that blow ships home. We will carry you" So they pickedup the whole party and whisked them through the air and put them all down in front of the Toyshop.
 Now to surprise Santa" said Eric. But in his heart he was think ing, "Oh, where will we find a queen for the King so that Leezen and I may go to the land beyond the sunset?"

 So they sat on the back of the white fox and he leaped off across the snow covered hills, through great, silent pine woods and finally when their hands were get ting cold they saw the lighted castle ahead of them. They rushed down the slope through the castle gate and into the great hall where the King was sitting with Elsa near him. She was knitting and humming a song.
