Not all the facts have come to light

The fact that the vi design was

stOh," Cynthia said now, her
voice trailing off.
THERE was a drive with three
i packed in the back seat OF
Ned's car. There was the double
feature chosen after bitter Con-
tention between Edris and Peter:
There was ice cream for them and
4 matted milk for Maud. Some
where in the long, boring evening
Iit had become a recognized fact
that Cynthia would 80 to the
Wisconsin cottage with Anne for
month. She was dreamily PLAN
ming the clothes she would take
when she found herself saying
goodnight to Ned Almon. The
others had gone yaWning upstairs.
Ned fumbled his hat.
81 want you to 60, Cynthia. You
need a good lay off but can't
help wishing that could be
along@
"Oh, Ned" It took a second
thought to recognize that in his
hating way he was saying. some,
thing sentimental. "She headed
that off in hurry. What would
become of everything if we took
vacations at the same timer"
Damn the office! If you never
went there again-if we shut 1t
up for good it would suit me
down to the ground"
Cynthia was shaken out OF her
daydreaming of canoes and fresh
water bathing. This was unprece-
dented. Ned couldn't be headed
off. He dropped the hat and got
hold of her hands.
Cynthia. haven't YOU had
enough .of@it?. Can't you 60 back
TO being a woman? You've wasted
enough time-years that you can't
get back. And what have you got
to show for =? A house, and a
couple of cars and a pack of bills

wanted"
Maybe you have" Ned said
humbly. eff you hadn't, you'd
have gone about getting it. But
try thinking of somebody else for
a change. What about the chill
dren-they need father to look
after them"
Cynthia was bitterly offended
but her laugh was merry. 1.-THE
children-it's late in the day to
think about father for them.
They're almost grown. And I've
tried my best to do everything
Fred would have done"
Many times afterward she re-
membered that swift, incredible
quarrel with Ned Almon. It was
like the sharp breaking up of
dam when everything goes over
board. u

WPB Board Of Appeals
Halls Sale Of Magazines

By the Associated Press.
The War Production Board ap-
peals unit yesterday refused to per-
nit the sale of 250,0O0 copies of a
magazine WPB said were printed
without legitimate quota of paper.
The decision, the agency said, may
set precedent for cases involving
more than 100000 copies of II
comic and detective magazines which
have been frozen" by WPB because
they were printed in violation of
paper quota regulations.
The appeals board held that the
failure of Neo Gravure Printing Co.,
New York City, to check the validity
of publishers paper quota certifi-
cate constituted negligence. The
board therefore denied the printers
application to distribute the maga-
zine, entitled THE Guilty" and pub

printer with a paper quota certifi-

ported.
Eisenhower's statement followed
disclosure Of a survey that the Ger
mans generally had praise for the
occupation of the British, were irked
by seeming American indifference
to conditions and fostered a deep
hatred for the Russians. The state
ment also came on top of demands
in some circles that the Allies lay
down a clear-cut economic policy for
Germany so that normal activity
may be restored to relieve the wide
spread chaos.
German youths and returned SCI
diers presently constitute the larg-
est trouble-making element, Eisen-
hover said, with much of their ire
directed against frauleins fraterniz-
ing with Allied troops and displaced
persons. Such discomfort could well
lead to organized resistance against
