Business volume continues at ex-

democracy such as ours that fac,
tional competition exists.

two party political system, stock.
holders and management and a
host Of other competing groups at
each others threats. A serious
example OF factionalism at the

businessmen in Washington. An.
other is Congress VS.. Administra-
ton leaders also. OF course, in
Washington. 1t is interesting to
note, as illustrative OF the change
in world affairs, that we no longer
hear talk OF the Importance Of Lon

rahlo je otrocicek dihal. Dorica
! je bila tiste dni ma hisni stevil-
XII enajsti: imeli so kosce v goz-
du. Videla je, da so zanje kuha-
| Ii gnjat in struklje, njej SO pa
d ali zjutraj kislega mleka in
starih zgancev, cato je morala
odganjati kokosi, da MISC raz-
grebale po zelniku; opoldne so

kor zjutraj.
! Marta j je bila prihranila v
loncku kave in zupanja j je
prinesla zemljico. Marta jo je
skrivaj, da nj videl gospodar,
vlekla v hlev ter j pri brleci
svetiljki pregledala glavo, ali nj
nalezla mrcesa.
Dorica in Lojzek sta zaspala,
Branko pa je dolgo slonel ma Ii
nj ter strmel v noe. Vonj sena
in zvezdnata noe sta ga opaja-
la, da je silno bolestjo mislil
ma svojo mater in oceta in sta
novanje v mestu, ma sosolce, XII
so re ma pOcitnicah in Sc bodo
vrnili. Preko sirnih njiv je pla-
vala zategnjena fantovska pc
sem in cricek je cvrlel v travi,
Decek je zamisljen Sci "a svoji-
mi spomini in pri srcu mu je BIZ
10, da bi ma glas krical cd bo-
lesti, osamelosti in slime ljubez-
hi do bratcev in sestrice.
Dorica je ma glas nekaj sa-
njala ter zbudila bratca. Otrok
! je zacel vekati, deklica Sc je
prestraseno dvignila ter zacela
sama vpiti in klicati Branka.
Decek jo je pomiril, posadil 81
bratca ma kolena ter ga ujckal,
da ga utolazi. Sestrica Sc je pri-
villa k Branku.
'Tema, strah!" je dejala. Gu
til je, kako ina lice mokro cd

Obsedel je, zibal dete ma ko-
lenih in pri srcu mu je bio tes-
no do smrti.
Mama, mama!"
Dolgo je strmel v temo in 81
zelel, da bi Sc mu il noci spet
prikazal materin obraz.
Tudi zupanja tisti noe dolgo
