WASHINGTON-Two very sig
nificant long distance telephone
calls preceded the torpedoing of
John L. Lewis blitz AFL-CIO peace
maneuver.
The first call was from CLIO
president Phil Murray in New York
to war labor chief Sidney Hillman
in Washington. Murray read Hill
man the letter he had drafted
slapping down Lewis and inform
ing him that he Murray and not
Lewis was boss of the CLIO.
Murray read Hillman the letter
for his approval and suggestions.
This was the first time in more
than a year that Murray had
sought out Hillmans counsel ano
support. Only a few weeks before,
Murray had taken an indirect
swipe at Hillman by urging the
President to place all war labor
activities in the Labor Depart
ment. For months mutual friends
of the two leaders had labored un-
successfully to establish basis Of
cordial working relations between
them.
BY. one stroke Lewis accomplished
what a score of others, including
the White House, had been unable
to do.
The second long distance call
was from the President in Wash
ington to Murray in New York.
This call followed the publication
of the letter Murray read to Hill
man.
The President warmly congratu-
lated Murray and assured him OF
complete backing. Roosevelt also
invited Murray to confer with him
at his earliest convenience. Murray
said he would come to the White
House two days later.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 6 = The
other day a friend showed me a
letter frcm his mother who had
Travelled from Chicago to the Pa
cific northwest on one of the coun-
try's crack streamline trains. The
weather was perfect. There had
been no wrecks. Yet her train was
80 hours late in arriving at her
west coast destination.
What occurred to me would
have occurred to any one who
heard the story and remembered
1917-18, when wartime transport
tation demands caused night
mare Of congestion on American
railroads which finally caused the
government to take them Over.
Could it be that the railroads oi
the nation again were caught
short?
Since then, 1 have talked to a
good many officials who are well
on the inside OF the problem and
their answer is unanimous No. =
Never in the history OF this coun-
try, they will tell you, has trans
portaticn been better prepared to
handle the demands of about
wartime production.

"For goodness sake, Bob, come
out and take me somewhere!
We've struck oil and this house
is full of people with faces like
doom. I want to go some place

now. All right, I'll be waiting"
A flick of skirts, a breath OF
lilac and she was gone, flying
down the stairs.
And then it was Sunday morn
ing, and because he had lain a
long time awake, Gary slept late.
He woke to a dazzle of sunlight
and hooking birds singing hy-
sterical1y in the blackberry trees
around the house, and went down
stairs apologetically, intending to
promote a cup of coffee from
Maria in the kitchen and then
find Slim and persuade the old
cowhand to give him a decent
shave. His hand was still awk-
ward and his arm a little stiff,
and his chin felt cloudy and
weedy and in need of a strong
arm job.
But, as he passed through the
hall, Adelaide looked up from the
breakfast table and the Sunday
paper and smiled at him.
Hello, lazy. Come on in. The
scrambled eggs are fine"
I'm very late-I thought ev-
eryone would be gone-to church
or somewhere" Gary began.
Mother went. Dads out
down in that gulch, probably,
wandering around picking up
rocks. Sit down Maria!'
She raised her voice in youth
full yelp. Bring this hungry
man some hot coffee"
Have a good time last night?"
he asked in the most casual tone
he could manage.

room and looked at each other
with sort of stunned incredulity
in their eyes.
Harvey broke the silence at
last. well, if it isn't there, it
ought to be. It cost enough to
find out" He looked ruefully at
the stub of the check he had
written.
"A test we'll will show" Gary
said. But drilling a test we'll, as
Gary had reminded Harvey a lit
tie too often for his patience,
would run into money. I'D GER
tainly advise you to lease"
'Lease-and let the Dohertys
and the Melons and the rest of
'em get richer than they are
now" bleated Harvey. 'My gosh,
have you any idea how much an
oil we'll earns? And it wouldn't
be one we'll. If there's any oil
there at all, there's pool-so
these fellows say"
Mona Lee looked little sick.
Harvey" she said. There's
just one thing I want you to
promise m=that you won't bor-
row money and put mortgages on
this place to finance this business.
I couldn't stand ito risk what
we've worked so hard to get"
Look here" He was indig-
nant. did I ever act the fool
YETI"
NO." signed his wife, "but
there's always a time to begin"
It was an odd evening. They
walked about like wooden people,
they spoke very little. Gary
packed his suitcase again. He
had packed it twice already. But
now he would 60. And before
he went he would make a note of
every cent he owed the Mason
family, for the doctor and the
nurse and everything; and he
would pay it ack if it took him
years to do it. Then, perhaps,
when his conscience was clear
and he could hold up his head
and look them all in the eye, he
would come back. And that, he
told himself YEARLY, would prob
ably be a FOOLS errand.
Adelaide dressed herself in the
new chiffon frock and high heel
ed sandals, and Gary heard her
dialing the telephone in the up
per hall and talking to Bob Fer
guson.
