As If By Magic

There can De little argument
against Secretary Wallace's plug for
upward adjustments in salaries Of
white collar workers, bat he does not
talk convincingly when he says it
can be done without either raising
prices or cutting into profits.
The commerce secretary ci'es fig
ures about the millions i" this class
whose pay is less than siNty-five
cents an hour, all of which We suS-
pect is true. But What has that TO
do with where the proposed increase
is to come from? Employers may be
ever 50 much justified in digging
into their profits or ven in raising
the price Of their products in order
TO meet suggested higher salaries,
but we can't see where the money
would come from unless n or the
other or both. Of these sources We're
tapped. Both might justifiably be
escorted to for such a purpose, but
that would have to be done unless
Mr.. Wallace has discovered some
magic by which the trick can be per-
formed.

public utterances, is rapidly emerg-

THE TERRACE Was gray flag
stone, surrounded by a clipped
hedge. Hurricane candles gloWed,
as the sky darkened, and the long
table was set with gay pottery and
tall glasses. The m~anservant and a
maid Served, and Foster, the arChi-

Steve came back and when he haG

Howard Morgan, sitting at n
end of the table with EIDE, was
doggedly discussing politics and
EIDE was listening, bored and quiet,
but looking eceptive. She said yes,
at proper intervals, and no, with
proper establishment and indigna-
ton, and Mr.. Morgan thought her
a most intelligent woman and one
he could go for in a big Way-not
that he yer expressed himself In
the current patois, even in his own
thoughts-if T.. weren't for the fact
that he was trretrievably attached
to Mary Hathaway, Why, he didn't
know. He was a sober, solid dull
man, with a great deal Of money,
considerably older than Mary. He
mad watched her grow, fall in love
and out again; he had seen her con
duct herself s~hookingly, if with dis
erection, and then fall violently in
love with a young man Of no social
or financial professions - some
youngster she had picked up in a
canteen. whose people lived God
knows where and who had been a
humble bank clerk before he went
into the Air Forces. Morgan had
suffered throughout their brief en-
gagement, always hoping it would
not last. Mary's attachments never
lasted. They were brief and hot and
lighted kindling wood. But the
Hathaway opposition was finally
conquered, and the wedding invita-
tions sent out. They were to have
been married On Pats next leave.
But before his next leave, Pat had
met another girl and eloped
with her, on a %three-day pass,
