THERE'LL ALWAYS
BE A BROADWAY
BY GEORGE TUCKER
AP Features Writer

NEW YORK, Dec. 12.-When
the boss told ne l was going to
Cairo almost fell out of the chair
They were, to me, the most inn
pressive words l had heard in a
long while, and for moment my
heart stood still: l didn't know
whether to try to compose myself
or to get up and shout, and so
compromised by leaping up and
shaking his hand.
He said, Not so fast. There are
few things we've got to talk
about. Before 1 send you out of
the country | want to give you
the other side of what may APP
pear now to be a glamorous ex-
perience."
l said, Eyes, sir"

There are" he went on,
great dangers involved. One of
our foreign staff members is
missing and we fear he may be
dead. Another is a prisoner of
war. Still others have been in
jured, or have had very narrow
escapes. Many have become i'll.
There is no telling where a
man in the foreign service, may
be sent. In many countries the
living conditions are terrible, the
drinking water is dangerous, and
none of the ordinary comforts of
home is available.
"All such assignments now have
to be for the duration because of
the uncertainties of transporta-
ton. Former provisions for home
leave can not apply in war time.
There is no likelihood that
your family can join you. You
should make provision so that
they can carry on without you
indefinitely.
There are no regular hours in
the foreign service, and vacations
are on a catch-as-catch-can basis
under present conditions.
This paints a very dark pic
ture. But it is all true, just as il
is true that there are momentous
events to be reported and great
stories to be written.
do you still want to go?"
| said, Eyes, sir"
He said, "All right. Get ready
to go. Write yourself a series of
farewell columns. Explain to your
readers that I'm not going to re-
place you. When you leave-this
column fades out-at least until
the end of the war. The impor-
lance of this war cannot possibly
be over-emphaSized. We all have
too great a stake in the outcome.
1t is more important right now
than anything else, and this in
cludes first nights, country clubs,
and cafe gossip"
