desk. 81 will have every man here

Why" demanded DR.. Over

Because" cried Senator Harri-
gan, this is too vital decision
for anyone except Congress to
make"
eve ANTICIPATED that reaction,
said DR.. Overmaier, 80 we decd
ed, this time, to take no chances.
When | explain to you what we
have done, you will realize that
neither our government nor those
of any of the scientists present
have any choice. They must accept
the situation We have created.
Each one Of us here has already
hidden one of these new bombs III
city of his own country - he
alone knows where. Each one has
dedicated his life to keeping the
secret.
But even if you," he continued,
"or the government of any other
country, could discover IN which
of its cities The bomb was con-
cealed, you would not dare re-
move it. For don't you see - to
have one Of these bombs is now a
country's only protection, the only
thing which will make other coun-
tries afraid to attack it?'
Senator Harrigan fumbled Tor
the chair behind him and 5enk into
it. Finally he said, III a shaking
voice, "How can you, a small
group of men. doom the whole OF
mankind to destruction"
1--WE are not booming it to de-
struction." said DR.. Overmaler'
Only Congress - or any rival
government - can do that. by de-
claring war"
but now people will live more
than ever in the fear of death,
said the Senator.
NO" said the scientist. "Ihey

WHILE DR.. Overmaier was speak

with his sad, wise smile, inter
rupted him:
"In case you are planning" he
said, ito arrest these two gentle
men whose presence disturbs you.
and perhaps wiring from them the
secret of where the new bomb is
hidden in their own country, let
me warn you that anything of that
kind would be quite useless. AS
said before, the secret has already
been revealed to another one of
their countrymen. He is safely
home by now. out of your reach,
and has planted it in one of his
own cities"
Senator Harrigan's face flushed
angrily, but he made no reply.
Finally he leaned back in his chair
and said in a resigned voice.
What do you expect me 10 do?"
1--WE suggest, all of us" said DR..
OverInaier, that you speak to the
people of the world and tell them
what we have told you"
With that he turned and. the
Others following him, went silently
ort of the room. The Senator sig
nailed to the Secret Service men,
and they followed the scientist.
DIR. OvERMAIER left the group
and walked to his car. With the
observation-disclosures of man deep
in thought, he tossed the little box
into nearby ash can.
Dumbfounded, the Secret Serv-
ice men dashed to the can and re-
trieved the box, which had fallen
open.
1t was empty.
"Why, it's a bluff" cried one of
them.
But DR.. Overmaier, wakened
from his reverie by their excite
ment, turned. He smiled.
How do you know" he said,
How will anyone ever know?
Even if it were a bluff, the result
would be the same. Rest in peace,
gentlemen; there will be no more

1.-THE Washington Veterans Gen.
ter can best be described as a place
where the veteran goes to be directed
to some other agency which might
be able to handle his problem. Most
Washington veterans speak OF it as
a place where veterans are given
the 'run-around.'
No Colored Counsellors.
"The survey showed no use OF
colored counsellors in the Washing
ton center, and no one seemed aware
Of any plans to include them in the
future.
I'm such cities as New Orleans
Atlanta, Nashville, Birmingham and
even in Chicago and Washington,
the survey showed a decided lack of
facilities for the proper housing of
Negro veterans and their families
with little or no opportunity = to
share in emergency veterans hous-
ing projects"
A. A. Liveright, executive direc-
tor of the council, at a press con-
ference held last night at the Will
