no more than a number of
wooden huts haphazardly
joined together. The corri-
dors thus formed were long
and dark and narrow and
the public rooms were un-
comfortably full at such
times as the officers were
not on duty.
So the Dalmatian, known
as Bill, got in everyone's
way and was cursed once
every 80 seconds by some
one who fell over him. He
would sidle away apologeti-
cally, his claws ticking on
the wooden floor, looking
up reproachfully with his
whimsical eyes. and waving
his thin cord of a tail in pro-
pitiation. And, in a matter
of moments, he would again
fall foul of the feet of some
unsuspecting person who
would stumble, spill his beer
or miss a shot at the DART
board, and curse this willing
animal anew.
Bill belonged to a pilot
who, when the atmosphere
became too electric, would
lock Bill up in his bedroom

The text of Bishop McAuliffe's letter to Judge Elsner is as fol- lows:
 My dear Judge E1sner:
 "The events of Halloween fill all right-minded citizens with just in- dignation. The gangster character of this sad exhibition made all ashamed that such tactics could occur in our happy common wealth. It was an un-American an Christian attack upon tol- erance and freedom.

does a great many other things
for herself, too-including great
part Of the housework that keeps
the Embassy as clean and pol
ished and orderly as 1t was back

good idea to have order at home
as we'll as in an active war job.
And she believes it's part of the

. self-no matter how menial and
unexciting the jobs may be.
If the Embassy looks fresh and
neat so does its lovely brunette
chatelaine. She wore a simple
tailored gray suit. a neatly
pressed brown blouse, her hair
was smooth and we'll brushed
and glossy. She has been in this
country for eight years, she told

people. She likes what they are
doing to help her people, too.
She plays the piano, having
studied both in Vienna and
