creaked protestingly on its rusty
hinges as she slowly pulled II open.
Inside II was dark as pocket. She
felt her way cautiously up the
winding stone steps. On the landing
she reached for the latch OF the
tower room door when she hesi-

could see nothing at first, then
against the further wall she caught
the glow Of a cigaret! As she wait

moved forward along the rail OF the
circular balcony. silhouetted
against the sky.
Terry, Is that you ?"
It was Brooks reassuring voice.
Terry let out a sigh OF relief.
Yes" she gasped softly. You
frightened me-"
I'm sorry. I saw you coming
across the path down below. 1t
looked like you, yet I couldn't
imagine why you'd be coming here
this time Of night"
Terry thought while the darkness
hid a guilty grin, you'd have
imagined all right II I'd gotten here
first and had gone to work. What
narrow escaped" But aloud she
murmured casually. II was taking
walk, and it's such a beautiful
night, I thought the view from here
might be interesting"
He lit her a cigaret and made a
place for her at the rail.
IT didn't know anyone else ever
came here since father died." he
said In a low voice. He loved this
old place so. Maybe that's part OF
the attraction 1t has for me. When

I always come here"
That's strange" Terry said i'm

few times" She laughed a little
jerkily. It always made her nervous
to lie. Then she added sincerely,
There's something about 1t. Maybe
it's just the immensely Of the uni
verse from here that makes our
own little troubles seem infinitesi-

Brooks moved u little closer.
Close enough so that she could feel
the brush Of his arm against hers.
In the stiffness she wondered II he
could hear the pounding OF her
heart She was glad for the dark
ness. She knew that her face must
be crimson with excitement. Des-
perately she was trying to build
up that barrier in her heart-to

The Porto Ricans seem quite rea-
sonable. A country that considers
cancelling $4,000 900 900 OF debts
without even considering the deb
tors capacity to sell colonies that
we could use or provide goods and
services that we might want, ought
not to cavil at any figures that re-
main in the millions
Porto Rico's population is under
two million and they have been en-
joying each year a 20 to 80 million
dollar bonus from our tariff legis-
lation, to which mus, be added our
regular and Emergency handouts.
By the generosity Of the United
States, by fortuitous developments,
and by the negligence of Congress,
1t has been estimated that the
Porto Ricans have benefited by
something like 120 millions a year.
There can be no objection to the
development OF Porto Rico or any
other area on this earth, but when
the United States is expected TO put
up II per cent OF the expenditures,
1t would seem that advantage is be-
ing taken OF an extraordinarily
good-natured fellow.
The bill also contains a blackmail
clause. The Porto Rcans are free
to choose independence or state
hood, depending upon how the stu
alton, about money, suits them. II
they choose statehood, we shall be
stuck with them forever. They
will be a sovereign state, under the
Constitution, with a couple Of sena-
tors and a flock OF congressman.
They will vote on what shall be done
to Louisiana pecans, Texas cotton
and Utah beets. Vito Marcantonio
could then organize a Spanish.
American bloc in the House to
logroll on bills concerning the
American people, and concession
would have to be made to get their
votes. And It would mean also
that all the Porto Ricans with
enough energy to do 1t could come
into the United States without re-
striction to complicate our already
difficult social and economic prob.
lens. When | read that bill. I
wondered how long 1t would be be-
fore Okinawa sought statehood.

Proclaimed
Governor Formally
Names March I7-25

LANSING, March Gov
Kelly designated March II to rs
as Victory Garden Week in a for
NAL executive proclamation today
"Food," he declared, ais "A
apOn OF war as surely as
guns or tanks are weapons. and
as essential 10 victory"
Last year, he said. a m illion
American victory gardens pro-
duced more than p million
bushels of fruit and vegetables
and the quota for 1915 is even
greater.
Each citizen who played a
part In this vast undertaking
struck a blow for democracy
with every row he cultivated"
the proclamation asserted, "and
that same citizen Is healthier
and better nourished than he
would have been II he had failed
TO respond to the nations call"
The governor said il would re
quire planning and patience and
work" TO meet the 1945 quota.
But the record of the past
suggests without room for
doubt that the quota will be
met" he concluded.

This was the opinion Saturday
of the Rev. Edward a. Conway
S. j., who as member of the
social action department of the
National Catholic Welfare Con.
ference i'm Washing ton. has
worked toward a peace pattern
with representative Protestants
and Jews for three years.
"The churches had no voice
In the peace after World War
L." declared Father Conway.
"They thought no one would
ever be so foolish as TO fight n
war again. OF course, they
were tragically wrong.
STUDY EVERY MOVE
This time the three great re-
HgiOns are studying every move
that goes on I'm the war and
the proposed peace and they
want to have an effective voice
In the peace.
Official spokesmen for the
Jews, Catholics and PrOtestants
have now passed Judgment on
the tentative DumbartOn Oaks
proposals for a world security
organization.
"All three groups agree that
the Dumbarton proposals are a
constructive step toward world
cooperation but all three also
say there can be considerable
Improvement In the draft.
DO 2 THINGS QUICKLY
eff the religious forces In
America expect To- bring about
an Improvement, they had bet
ter do two things and do them
fast:
1-"They must decide on a
definite number of improve
ments they want TO see made.
2-"They had better join in
concerted action at once to
press for their adoption"
Studying the three official an
on the Dumbarton
Oaks proposals. Fr Conway sug-
gested the following nine-point
program on which the three faiths
might agree
IA preamble acknowledge
hg that states are subject, no
less than individuals. 10 the
sovereignty of God and 10 the
moral law which comes from
God.
2 Establishment Of a COM

clared themselves opposed TO

If compromises are made be-
fore they can mobilize their op-
position, they might urge that

Victory Clothing Drive To Receive Support Of A.F.L.

A new UNRRA Victory Clothing Collection begins January 7, 1946, and plans are underway for full participa- tion by members of the American Federation of Labor.
 The A. F. of L.'s part in the huge national drive will be directed by the Labor League for Human Rights. The League, emphasizing the extreme need for warm clothing abroad, will advise Central Bodies and Local Unions to use methods similar to those prac- ticed in the April clothing collection. At that time, the A. F. of L member ship played an important part in col lecting 15O,000,000 pounds of used garments. The International Brother hood of Teamsters, in particular, re- ceived widespread recognition for ex- traordinary efforts.
 President William Green is a mem- Der of the Victory Clothing Collec- tion Committee headed by Henry ]. Kaiser. The committee has set the national goal at 100,OOO,0OO used gar ments, as we'll as shoes and bedding

T deem it patriotic and social imperative to aid and assist the Ma tlonal Committee for a Fair Minimam Wage in its work for the passage of the Pepper-Hook bill," he added.
 Vice-chairman of the committee is Dr. Frank F. Graham of Chapel Hill, N. C., president of the University of North Carolina. Miss Elizabeth S. Magee, general secretary of the Ma tional Consumers League, has been named secretary of the group.
 OBJECTIVES
 Objectives of the newly-fOrmed group are to mobilize public spir- ited men and women throughout the country behind the Pepper Hook bill amending the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938." The conn mittee has stated that ''the meas ure is vital to the welfare of the country as whole and particularly to the several million wage earners who now are struggling to exist on submarginal wages" Several na- tiOnal civic, religious and social welfare organizations have already endorsed the bill.
