Rival TO my Heart

They turned toward the gayle
lunchroom.

time" Gail said somberly, "or she'd
have hemorrhaged to death. As it
is, / wasn't certain even after We
got her to the hospital and gave her
the TRANSMISSION"
Stephen was looking at Gail with
a new understanding and respect.
Last night, he had seen her stripped
Of her feminity, her beauty and her
warmth, to become an instrument
for saving a life.
The counter was crowded. But
Mrs. Zayle saw them and beckoned
them to q booth. Stephen ordered
ham and eggs, q great mound Of
toast and black coffee. Gail picked
up the heavy mug, holding 1t with
both hands, to warm herself.
She had saved Lily's life. Now
she must solve Lily's future.
Howard Thayer and his wife were
at breakfast when Gail was ushered
into the breakfast room. Howard
looked up from his paper in sur
prise. Agnes nodded, frigidly.
GOOD morning. my dear" How
ard said. u suppose you've come to
talk about the nursery. Sit down
and have coffee with u.s."
"Where is Lucienne?" Gail asked.
"She's still asleep" Agnes re-
piled. "She got in very late last
night. Is anything wrong, CALI"
Gail steeled herself. Briefly she
told them the story Of Lily Lana
han and Ralph Kramer.
When she finished, Howard got
up, clenching the newspaper in his
hand. "We1l break the engagement
instantly" he said angrily. "And
III see that Kramer is never allowed
in this town again!"
Don't be too hasty." That was
Agnes speaking; Agnes, the witch
burner. being tolerantl what
about Luciennef To give up Ralph
can break her heart" She looked
at Howard. "You had better talk
to Ralph, but we must still go
through with the plans for the we'd
ding"
Gail said slowly, "Last night, Lily
Lanahan was swayed by self-saeri-
fee, and considered herself only IN
obstacle to Ralph's happiness. But
while she's convalescing, she's go
ing to have lots Of time to herself.
Time to read all about Ralph's ap-
preaching marriage, time to see him
in the hospital. l doubt whether
she'll maintain her present self
effacing attitude. That should be-
taken into consideration too"
"But what can we do?" Howard
said, "What do you advised"
Agnes added urgently, "You must
help US, Gail"
And suddenly she realized they
were pleading with her. The How
ard Thayers were begging her for
help!

As they raced through the desert

Steve parked the car in front Of
the apartment house. The outside
door was unlocked and they hurried
up the stairs.
At Lily's door, Gail knocked ur-
gently. There was no answer.

The door opened slowly.
Lily Lanahan was framed in the

looked at Gail blankly. And then
she toppled to the floor.

At Home
More Meat

Americans licked their chops this
week: The House voted wide control
over all agricultural products to Clin-
ton P. Anderson, secretary of Agricul-
ture as of July l. 1t passed an amend
ment permitting unlimited slaughter
in all plants certified by the secretary
as sanitary and overthrowing restric-
lions on interstate transportation OF
non-federally inspected meat. He also
was voted veto power over the Office
of Price Administration on eatables.
Of the livestock amendment, An
derson commented: 1T hands me a
weapon to deal with the black mar
ket in meat and to channel more
meat to the dinner table"
The Army started tc curtail meat
purchases in a 60-day program to get
more meat into civilians. There were
possibilities of an Army curtailment
of poultry purchases along the east
ern seaboard to give more to the
home front.
The nations second most-talked-
about shortage, cigarettes, appeared
to be fading too. Many New York
tobacconists put packs out in the
open again and reported customers
now demanding specific brands.

3. An Economic and Social Coun-
Gil to solve problems which in the
past have created conflict.
4. A Trusteeship System to ensure
fair play for dependent peoples and
to nurture their hopes for self-gov-
eminent and free political institutions.
5. A new International Court of
Justice to rule on legal issues between
nations.
The charter, everyone agreed, was
not perfect. 1t would work only so
long as the Big Five PRUSSIA, France,
Britain, China and the U. S. wanted
it to. The United Nations could crush
any attempt by one of the Little As"
nations to start war, but it provided
no authority save moral force against
one of the Big Five starting a war.
Statesmen discounted this defect,
however, by pointing out that if one
of the Big Five wanted to start a
war, another world conflict inevita-
bly, would result no matter what the
charter said.
The charter was the result of two
months debate and compromise by

Q At Berchtesgaden, Allied investi-

Q In Yonkers, N. Y, 250-pound

Q In western England, Novelist J.

that public welfare must come before

But Churchill, opening a 1,00O-mile

far-off dreams and utopianism? All

If we fail to use it, we shall betray
all those who have died.. >. If we seek
to use it selfshly-for the advantage

The Charters Pattern
The charter is a constitutional
framework under which the United
Nations agree to keep peace in the
world. This in brief is its pattern.
l. A Security Council, of the Big
Five permanent members and six
smaller rotating memberships, which
is entrusted to maintain peace and
security by settling disputes among
nations peacefully if possible, by
force if necessary.
2. A General Assembly Of all
United Nations in which world opin-
ion may be brought to bear on any
international problem within the
scope Of the charter.

Senate Prospects Good

The President plans to submit the
charter in person in speech before
the Senate Monday. Even if unable
to obtain formal ratification in adj
vance of his July meeting with Pre-
mier Stain and Prime Minister
Churchill, the President is confident
he will go to the big Three" meeting
with definite proof of Congressional
support.
Mr.. Truman believed that charter
opponents could not muster dozen
votes. A poll by The Associated Press
showed SO of the Sc U. S. Senators
ready to vote for ratification, barring
unforeseen developments. Not one of
the rs Senators interviewed in the
poll expressed outright opposition,
five said they probably would support
it. The So total was just six short of
the two thirds majority necessary for
ratification. A poll at the conference
indicated. that enough other nations
would ratify the charter to make it
effective before the end of the year.
One of the most potent interna-
tional charter boosters was Field
Marshal Jan Christian SHUTS of South
Africa, who helped frame the League
of Nations covenant after World War
I. Out of his experience with the ill
fated League, SHUTS drew up an anal
ysis of the United Nations charter.
He said it differed from the League
covenant in recognizing that force is
necessary to maintain peace, that only
the combined forces of the great pow
ers can guarantee peace, that unity
among them is essential, that other
nations agree to supply armed forces
against aggression and that regional
defense groups should help to main
tain world peace.
It cost the U. S. 100000 to play
host to the conference.
