ed over her that she wondered why
she ever had thought the night
chilly.
She lowered her head and closed
her eyes while Carlos led her about
the crowded dance floor. How long
had It been since she had danced :?
Really danced? Years, she knew,
because soon after she met Tod
Patrick he had taught her the dan
gers Of running her voice. He did
mot know, of course, about the
times she danced alone n her own
bedroom. Practicing, 1t should be
called, for she was determined to
remember all steps and to learn
new ones. She knew why now. 1t

perfume itself on the women

She wanted to remember the

Spanish music Of the orchestra.

"There'll never be another night

and annoyed to feel hot tears in
her eyes.
But, yes. There will be many
nights like this for US"
Mallory smiled. knowing that he
was wrong. Those captured mo-
ments of perfection were neyo re-
captured.
She was wearing the same dress
she had worn to the press confer
ence. Its velvet weight, added to
the warmth from the exercise OF
dancing, were sufficient TO keep her
comfortable. But, when the music
ceased, she quickly picked up her
fur coas from its place on the back
Of a garden chair and Rugged it
about her. The collar she turned up
high about her priceless throat.
Although it was scant protection,
she again donned the lace head

NEW YORK REBUILT"

Pilots of the Air Transport Com mand assigned to fly important Nazi prisoners from Europe to the United States report that the at titude of the prisoners varies from silent and resentful to openly glad and relieved. Invariably American Army food is a constant source of astonishment-even to high Nazl officers.
 One thing that usually happens as they fly over New York is a remark from the prisoners: Re markably good engineers you have in this country"
 The pilots agree, remark that New York is a miracle city. Next word from the Germans is: Tt is amazing how they could rebuild the city so quickly
 Almost without exception, ATC pilots say, the Nazis have swal- lowed Goebbels' line that New York and other American cities were long ago reduced to rubble by Nazi bombs. And almost with out exception, they sit in disillu- stoned silence for the last lap of the trip-fron1 New York to Wash ington,

 Tn the Pacific, Australia and New Zealand are now safe from attack and beyond further damage The British of course, will want back Singapore and Hongkong, but they figure that when the Japs are defeated they'll get those back, anyhow.
 Of course, we and will defeat Japan if the American people sustain their full war effort for as long after the defeat of Germany is necessary But we have not defeated Japan far in spite of naval victories Japan can never be defeated from the sea alone the reganing of the Philippines will not be the key. Such key bases exist only in China and in China the Japs still are winning victories daily
