alteration of homes to provide more living
units 1t also urged conversion of existing
buildings, such as undertaken in the United
States.
"The 9O-day handicap now imposed on
prospective purchasers of homes in the United
States is having a bad effec: on the housing
situation in OVercrOwded areas" he said.
THE result was just az inevitable as it was
probably unexpected. Housing is being with
drawn or withheld from renting, because the
presence of tenants makes sale of house
virtually impossible. Thus prospective pur-
chasers are discouraged, and property owner
ship becomes a handicap instead of an adj
vantage. 1t is our hope the OPA will soon
see this point and remedy the situation"
Nelson concluded.

New York, Aug 9-lNS-Like
the old lady going UP on the down

veloped into a rapidly expanding
breach between first and second
places in both leagues and. in a

The Yankees continued their

In the opener, homers by Johnny

victory. Chandler hung up his
14th victory, allowing the As only
FIVE hits. The nightcap victory
was accomplished with four

CHAPTER FIT EN-

THE AFTERNOON passed In a
mig htm are Of blank activity.
Vaguely Jean looked forward to
going back TO her tiny hotel room
and giving way TO the pressure of
grief building up within her. But
even that consolation was denied
her. At six o'clock, Steve came
back from a tour OF inspection of
some machinery and stopped at her
desk.
II hate to ask you, Jean, but I've
got to get out some work tonight.
wonder II you could help me a
couple of hours?"
Yes, Of course" she said auto
matically.
Fine" He looked at his wrist
watch, considering. In that case,
1t might be better to go out and
get bite to eat first"
Drearily she opened her lower
drawer and reached for her dull
green leather purse. While he
closed his Office door, she drew on
a wide-brimmed leather hat. In her
compact mirror she noted that her
face was too pale. But she didn't
care enough to bother to correct IT,
Steve put her into the station
wagon and drove down to the vii
lage. He parked before the one
story crumbling brown adobe with
the brave gold and red sign,
'Tony's." Tony, himself, met them
at the door, a small, sad-faced
Mexican, but with creases Of laugh
ter around his eyes. The supper,
she is exactly what you order" he
assured Steve, wiping his hands in
an enthusiastic gesture on the long
apron tied around his waist.
Jean murmured to Steve as she
followed the little man to their
booth, But when did you order
this ,"
Steve grinned wryly. "Just be-
fore I went on the inspection tour"
he admitted. When realized there
might be work tonight :"
A warm breeze blew through an
open window beside them. The
sweet pungent smell OF chilies and
spices came from the kitchen.

very much, Jean said.
Beaming, the little man hurried
out to bring in the chicken with
rice, the lettuce and tomato salad.
For a change" Steve said, I'VE
are having no black Jeans"
That is wonderful" Jean smiled.
Music started from Tonys cher
ished orthophonic. TN bet that's
his best music, too" she added.
The food was really good. the
wine and music soothed and re-
Taxed her. And Steve had appar-
emily forgotten for the moment the
world Of rubber factories. He was
telling her stories. OF an Italian
place something like this in Tren-
ton where his Princeton fraternity
used to go for raviolis. OF the skit
some Of the fellows had written
around 1t for their annual revue.
He sang the ribald college ditty
about the beautiful tomatoes in the
ravioli shop. You didn't know me
when I was a chorus GIRL" he
laughed.
II went to Princeton once for a
prom" Jean told him. About FIVE
years ago. remember the dogwood
was in bloom and the pink magno-
las on the campus"
II loved 1t in the winter, with
the snow on those huge old trees"
Steve unused. And then just before
commencement the senior sing on
the steps Of Old Nassau" He told
her of graduating at the peak Of
the depression, Of the classic strug-
giles Of a young engineer to find a
spot. or his FIRST job.
And Jean found herself coming
out Of her dull stupor Of grief into
a larger prospective OF shared
memories. She told him Of some of
her own struggles. How she and
her younger brother, Melvin, had
SO. out for the City Of Opportu-
nifty" after her fathers death. OF
Melvin's newspaper work and her
interesting Job as secretary to a
mogul in the steel business. And
then the chance that Melvin had
obtained for her to model for Henri.
Her words turned more and more
TO Melvin. The food OF reminis-
cence was gradually releasing the
tight band Of her grief. In a mo-
ment Of confidence she snapped
open the back cover of her clip
watch and showed Steve the hu-
morous, freckle-faced likeness Of
her brother.
"He's-quite q kuy" she whis-
pered, her throat stin with tears.
"I'll bet be is" Steve studied the
picture closely. He went to Africa
as a reporter"
He was-doing a column. II was
HIS big chance" she whispered.
"Somehow-even though I have
known for six weeks that he was
missing, didn't believe it. I
thought he was out somewhere
tracking down a scoop. But now"
She looked at Steve with pleading
fear in her eyes. I've heard such
awful stories Of the treatment Of
prisoners there. Especially. II the
Nazis haven't liked all OF his re-
ports about them. md knowing
