and twenty-five days, before the separation.
before Betty had gone back to Florida and
Pigeon Key to get divorce. He knew the
crazy wild streak that ran through the whole
McFarlan tribe. Betty had told him how her
brothers had made game of dueling with
shotguns, one ON each side of the bayou, just
far enough apart 50 they had to fire in an arc
to make the pellets fall on each other; she'd
told him how her family always made party
of riding out the hurricanes - I'VE never

self had almost been drowned trying to swim
in too heavy surf. The Crazy McFarlans."
He'd heard that expression before he ever
met Betty.
IT WAS that wild streak in her which had
caused their trouble. he thought; that and
his own stubborn conservatism - which
Betty at times called worse names than Con
servatism." But he wasn't gambler and he
never would be. To him the taking of foolish
chances was foolish, and nothing else. But he
could remember how Betty had looked at
him, 50 many times, her eyes shining and her
black hair which always seemed to have a
wind in it. blown back from her face.

Its silly" Gregory Hammond had said.

Gregory hadn't laughed.
He stood up now and crossed to the win

The sunlight locker paler, and long
line of frigate birds was flying north. Even
the birds had sense enough to get away from
the storm - but not Betty.
And she's still my wife. Gregory thought.
lHE rain started before he reached Braden-

worse, and Gregory's mood matched it. He
was fool, he told himself time and again.
He knew the kind of reception he'd get.
Betty would be furious. She'd make fun of
him. and his own anger would set and grow
more stubborn. The old pattern all over again.

and tried to explain to himself that it was
because Betty was alone now. Her father and
mother had died; one brother had been killed
during the war; the other had stayed on in
the Navy Air Force. And the right place for
him. So Betty was alone, and she was still
his wife - although she wouldn't be in an

for her.

National Pro League. He rushed
into the season unprepared and
almost ended up a very sick boy.
You may recall the Congressman
made trip abroad with other mem
bers of the House to report on con-
ditions. Sammy's homebound plane
had barely touched ground in
Washington when he was called to
the phone by Commissioner Elmer
Layden. It developed Sammy was
needed to officiate an exhibition
game. Thinking that the game
would be a cinch Sammy accepted
the assignment. Officiating as he
usually does, which means running
all over the field, Sammy was bare
ly able to make the dressing room
after the game. He was stretchd
out cold for some time after the
players had left the field.
Sammy trained gradually to build
up to the rigors of football officiat-
ing. He worked out religiously in
the House gym with such stalwarts
as former Green Bay Packer star,
Hon. Verne Lewellyn and the Hon.
Spearman. The boys went at it hot
and heavy in paddle handball. Just
to prove that this isn't a sissy's
game the Congressman from Penn
sylvania will point out to you that
wild swat from the paddle \of
Congressman Spearman once broke
Sam1ny's bridge work and jaw.
Last seasons schedule in the Nat
ional Pro League proved very
difficult one for the Congressman.
1t was one plane hop after another.
Coupled with a strong campaign
for a judges berth in Pittsburgh,
the Congressman found the going
maddening. When his quest for
Judge in Pittsburgh Common Pleas
Court was successful, Sammy re-
signed from Congress. With this
resignation went his career as a
referee. Recognizing that his du-
ties would curtail his officiating
activities the still young and very
active puror asked to be released
from future football dates. Perhaps
this should end the athletic career
of Judge Samuel Weiss.
But it seems that the National
League is not yet finished with
him. Rather than let him out to
pasture, the League has appointed
him assistant to Commissioner Bell
From now on Sammy will be in
charge of all National League Of
ficials, making and giving out
assignments. Knowing Sammy as
we do, we are not yet calling it
career for the Judge. Somehow he
will manage to sneak in an occas-
ional assignment for himself.
There you have the story of an
athlete, who also had made the
grade as a gentleman, politician and
Juror. It's Sammy Weiss story
and as we told you before, he
likes to think it can only happen
in the United States. Guess at
that. he is right.

Murray Renews Plea
For Steel ALLEGATION
By the Associated Pres.

PITTSBURGH, April 6,-Philip
Murray, CIO president, disclosed to-
day he had renewed his request to
the Civilian Production Agency for
ALLEGATION of steel to nonintegrated
producers, declaring the agency
must accept full responsibility for
increasing unemployment" If the re-
quest was denied.
In a letter to CPA Administrator
John ID. Small, the CIO chief, who
also is president of the affiliated
United Steel Workers Union, said:
"The refusal to initiate alloca-
tions is already having its impact
upon small nonintegrated firms and
small steel consumers. For lack OF
5000 tons of pig iron month, 2,00C
steelworkers are idle in Newport
KY, at the Andrews Steel Co. This
small steel firm may be forced out
of business unless it can secure iron
Workers in stove and refrigerator
plants are being laid off, or are suf-
fering from curtailed operations
for lack of steel.
"A small steel consumer in New
England is confronted with the
necessity of laying off $50 for lack
of steel. The big steel producers
are cutting down their steel ship
mefts to New England in favor of
closer markets with lower freight
rates. This practice is making a
farce of the so-called voluntary
quota SYSTEM"
