CHAPTER xxVl

MAJOR HOMEWARD appeared +'A at meeting of the directors of the Blessed to Give Brother hood. Ernest Wheyflsh recognized him as royalty, but 1t was Dr. Pla- nish who thought of whispering, Pretty dull. Let's sneak out and have quick one"
 They drank until T.. pr. Planish privily telephoned to Peony, and brought a friendly Major home to dinner.
 Now Peony was plump but bio- logical. She had never stepped off Main street, but her eyes could Seduce even a traf1c policeman, and to the Major she said. This is so nicel" as competently as 8 woman press agent or an actress in her dressing room. By 10 o'clock the Major and the Doctor and Peony were such trio of buddies that they telephoned long distance, to George Riot, and insisted on his flying down and joining them. Gle didn't). Be- fore the Major was got into 8 com- plete state of liquid happiness, how ever, Dr. Planish had planted the seed of Message:
 T know Colonel Marduc is a figurehead on 8 lot of organi7a- tions, but he never really has anything to do with 'em - lets 'em use his name and sends 'em a small check, but he never knows what they're up to. Well, if he really wants to be President of the United States"
 ''He doesn't = he doesn't at all. I don't know how that rumor Start- ed," stated the Colonels very own son-in-law.
 Well, then, Secretary of State or Ambassador to England"
 Maybe he might consider those.s
 "He doesn't realize how an up- lift organization that he really worked closely with could hook his name up with all these idealis- tic movements that get the votes. If he'd pay some attention, and maybe some cash, to @ crack execu- tive"
 s"No, no, no! Thanks, Peony - Cl1aU PlCIAUy WIlOb UIldb UCt~ ter,' observed the Major. No, I'm afraid the Colonel wouldn't be in- terested in your Blessed to Give bunch. He thinks that having me there on the board as his stooge is enough"
 That Oh, that damn racket! Of course not. mean a more gen. eral idealistic association, more Spiels about freedom and democracy. Id like to talk to him, some time"
 The Doctor did not belabor his message further, and not till after more drinks did he probe the Major about the Colonel's mys- terious relationship to Governor Thomas Blizzard.
 TOM BLIZZARD was one of the Il 20 men who, in 1897, had chance to be Democratic nominee for President in 1914, possibly even in 1940.
 It was commonly reported that Governor Blizzard and Colonel Mar duo had a political understanding but which was to support which was not explained, nor. tonight, did Ma jor Homeward explain, 1t. Perhaps, concluded the Doctor. he didn't know.

VA morality of servicemen overseas. CHAPLAIN COMPLAINS
 Right now the Navy is trying to answer a chaplain's complaint about the prostitution situation in Japan, in which the chaplain says he saw 8 line of enlisted men four abreast almost a block long waiting their turn at a house of prostitution.
 We have had scores of such ugly pictures during the war-and however shocked we may have been by them, we have had to accept them as part of the total picture of war.
 Waiting wives have had to &C., cept such reported conditions, too.
 And some of the waiting wives have figured that what men can get by with in wartime women can, too.
 But there has been no leniency in anyone's judgment or erring war wives. And the man who comes home to find that his wife has been unfaithful to him-even though he may have been un- faithful himself - thinks it is his right and his duty to cast her of. GIVE IT A CHANCE |"
 Isn't it time we took more adult view of the situation? If it is true that the husband who in ordinary times would have been faithful to his marriage VOWS might not have re- mained faithful during years of sep aration-isn't it just as likely that the wife who was unfaithful in war; time would have been faithful if her marriage had had a normal chance?
 For the sake of marriage and the children involved, shouldn't this be the realistic attitude of both husbands and wives whose

 "Well?"

 Honestly, Mother, I'm sorry, but I don't think like influential people or welfare or promotion. I like sleep- ing better. Good night"
 Peony stood bitterly in the hall. She wasn't like that when she was 16! Why, she'd have been all eager and flattered if her mother had if- vited her in to help impress an im- portant guestl But Carrie

 The throne at Marduc Syco & Sagg's was the masterpiece of Bobbysmith, who advertised him. self as "the Gertrude Stein of In- terior Designing It was as plain and dignified as Rockefeller Center, but a little smaller.
 The conversation between the Colonel and Dr. Planish fell into that atmosphere of an Oriental court which always clung about the Marducs. The Doctor salaamed and said that he was honored; he said that of course the Colonel would never stoop to any political job, but If he desired to-, he could be Pres ident of the United States by 10 tomorrow morning.
 He said that he himself was the humblest creature under Allah's beneficient sun, that he loved his present (well-paid) job, and was aboundingly loyal to Wheyfish Pa sha, but if Colonel Marduc decided to start a real organization, one that would take the weak little theology of Democracy by the hand and guide it tenderly, then he hoped he might be around to give advice. He said that such an organization might, incidentally, get its founder known around as the chief subsid- izer of all Justice and Freedom.
 And he said that now, as never before, was the time, with the war going on between Japan and China and with Hitler smirking at Czechosloyakia.
 Not going--to be any European warl' snarled the Colonel.
 But it's possible"
 If there were, America would never get into it. We'll be so well prepared that we won't have to-"
 But even in the matter of pre- paredness, we ought to have an association that would be the first big one that was keyed to war psychology argued the Doctor. If we started out pew, and had speakers and hands-out every week interpreting the news, then we'd get to be considered the final authority, no matter which way the war-cat jumped - win, lose, draw or stay out"
 Who do you think of as asso- ciated with us?"
 T wouldn't expect to decide which of the Big Names we'd get. My job is to know the technique of putting over an organization -- for anything, or against anything it's on the right side, I mean"
