sinister chuckle of the rain was her only answer. The three stood closely huddled together, and Jim reached out to turn on the wall lights again.
 Why, the lights" surprise was in his tones, they don't go on." Anne moved quickly to the window, a flash of lightning lit up the path to the garage, and in the brief il- lumination she saw two men struggling together, one of them clutching dark object in a clenched upraised fist. No, it couldn't be she had imagined it.. These things simply didn't happen in Windham County. It was a trick of the lightning. And then it happened.
 Another bolt of lightning and through it a dull explosion that grew in intensity until it rocked the house and suddenly the top of Starr Hill was lighted like day.
 Sue collapsed with low moan, and stiffly stepping over her limp body and leaving her to Jim's care, Anne staggered to the open front door. Her lips were parched, if her life depended upon it she could not cry out, and then she saw it in the dying light. A shattered human object was inching it's way up over the front steps. In it's stiff, distended fingers was clutched a pistol, pointing right at her. A wave of sickness and terror closed about Anne. It seemed an eternity while she waited for the explo- sion, an eternity when it seemed as if she were falling through space down, down, round and round into the barrel of the revolver. In the distance she heard a piercing agon- ized scream that drew closer and closer, and then a merciful dark ness closed in about her.

 Ann had everything ready in the dining nook and it looked inviting.
 When Randy Leonard married Anne Morrison all the valley de- clared he had captufed the pretti- est girl and the best cook in two counties.
 Randy had been in East Gram field, Connecticut, for only six months. No one knew much about him, or where he had come from. Even Anne never asked, after she noticed the flicker of pain cross his face at her point blank questions during their courtship.
 "I'm an orphan" he had closed the door on his past, "and that's everything"
 Anne looked up as she heard his quick step. "You were longer than usual" she commented.
 "I know" he interrupted, "it was so unseasonably hot driving out from the city tonight, I felt sticky all over. Guess I'll have to change into a lighter weight suit tomor- row. Whats on for tonight?" he

In advance of the conclaVe, PreSl- dent Phil Murray and other c. l. O. leaders had vehemently declared that drastic action was due against the Reds
 But what happened was that Murray appointed a committee of six-made up of three acknoWl- edged followers of the "Commun- ist line" and three opponents-to tackle the issue.
 The committees deliberations were supposed to be secret. but It all got out on the front pages of the newspapers. Eventually, the committee came forth with a de- claration to the effect that C. l. o. members resent and reject efforts of the Communist party or other political parties and their adherents to interfere in our affairs" That statement was adopted un- animously by the convention-and an amusing feature was that the Communist contingent, relieved that no purge" would occur, voted for the document.

As Randy closed the garage door he heard Shepards dog barking At first he placed importance in it, amd then he turned to stride the hundred yards to his home he its long grey form streak with low pancky crouch through the Spring twilight It wasn't headed towards home, but the intervening field that opened again upon the culvert below Bakers Bridge.
 Funny Randy muttered, funny way for that pup to ac and he opened the kitchen door the sudden warmth and light and happiness that raaed from his home touched Randy and he forgot Shepard dog he took Anne into his arms and kissed her

Love mel" she whispered.
 "You bet" and he meant it.
 "Then hurry up and wash up. We've got strawberry shortcake waiting and some home made saul sage made up today" Anne gave him a playful push towards the back stairs.
 When his leaping steps brought him up short at the bathroom, Randy turned on the shower and stripping quickly, he gratefully stepped under its invigorating stream.
 His hands felt sticky when he reached down for the soap in the shower tray, but he didn't open his eyes to examine his hands with the showers sharp spray beating against his face.
 Stepping out of the shower two minutes later Randy picked up his soiled linen to drop into the hamper and folding his Wrinkled

gr1nned pleasantly as he ShOok out heavy linen napkin.
 "Oh, Sue and Jim are coming over. thought at first that we might go to the club, they're hav- ing a bridge-dance tonight-but somehow I don't feel like going"
 Why not?" Randy asked sharp ly.
 Well, perhaps I'm silly, but since we've been married hate to share you with anybody. know it isn't right to act this way, but I even wish Sue and Jim Sawyer weren't coming
 Randy'S severe features relaxed again into his breathtaking sunny smile, Why don't you give them a ring then?" he encouraged.
 No. I've got to learn to dis cipline myself and to share you with the world, so I might just as well practice with Sue," she laughed.
 As they finished the last crumbs of the shortcake, the ,doorbell rang and Sue, with Jim in tow, breezed in.
 Hello! Where's everybody" Sues voice echoed through the front hall with eerie brightness.
 In the South, black clouds swept up over the valley and blocked out the sunsets last glow A flash of lightning lighted the darkening sky for a moment and then a growing roar of thunder rolled up rumbling out of the valley to the edge of their porch, and it's omin- ous notes seemed to reverberate throughout the whole house, touch ing every corner and cranny. It brought Randy and Anne to their feet and Anne clung to Ran dy for a moment of primitive fear, and then laughingly stepped back. We're out here she called" still trembling, land for heavens sake close that door before the rain starts"
 "Hi-ho, my little ones," Jim was playing the role of the dominant male, "'tis a night for dark deeds, with horror stalking our happy valley -. where and when will 1t strike again revealing the sinister secrets of the countryside. .''
 What do you mean by that crack?" Randy's strong fingers bit into Jim's soft forearm.
 Why why nothing, Randy, of course" Jim squirmed under his grip, T was just trying to brighten the moment, never real ized Anne was frightened of thunder storms"
 Well, now you know Randy reluctantly released his grasp.
 Let's retreat to the card room,' ,' urged Anne leading the group to the front of the house and break ing the nervous tension. As Anne switched on the wall lights Randy moved quickly to the side windows to draw the venetian blinds. He paused, with his hands upon the cord, Put out the lights" 7" he commanded, his voice urgent. AACA w OSo OCCP NQA QL HI ot HI the room and then there was a spotty flashing of light through the slits of the venetian blinds like a lifting moonbeam that came to rest on a copy of Madame LeBrun's Ma donna and Child>that hung on the west wall, then the light was gone.
 What are you trying to do, you've scared the girls worse than l did" complained Jim.
 "Shut up!' hissed Randy, Just try keeping quiet for awhile" This was followed by a shocked silence as Randy slowly raised the blinds again and peered out into the night. Tears from the driving rain splashed upon the windowpane, and then there was a choking ex- clamation from Randy who, leaping across the room, dove from the front door into the darkness.

Sincoff, UPA Treasurer, Forsees Outbreaks
In Jewish DIP Camps In Germany

NEW YORK OTA)-Jewish
refugees in Germany are so disil-
lusioned that outbreaks may be ex-
pected soon in the DIP camps, ia
cob Sincoff, treasurer of the United
Palestine Appeal, told the Jewish
Telegraphic Agency this week, on
his return from an all-week tour of
Germany and Palestine.
"They see no hope" Sincoff de-
clared. Palestine is closed and the
United States permits only a trickle
of immigration. Naturally, their
Illustration may lead to dire re-
suits"
Sincoff said that while thousands
of Jews are jam-packed in the
living hell" of DIP camps, land is
being bought in their name in Pales-
tine by the Jewish National Fund,
in the hope of eventual resett1ement.
In spite of the present tense sit
uation, Sincoff declared, Pelestine's
Jewish community has launched a
program of unprecedented develop
ment, whose cost since the begin
ming of the year has exceeded ST.
100000.
He said UPA agencies in Pales-
tine are spending close to $5,000,00O
a month for accommodating refu-
gee newcomers, building houses
getting Jewish Brigade veterans
back to civilian life and helping to
establish new settlements and in
dustries.

LEARNS BRITISH MINING
PALESTINE COAST

Disclosing that the British
are mining the territorial wat
ers of Palestine in their effort
to block Hebrew repatriation,
Mr.. Peter Bergson, Chairman
of the Hebrew Committee of
National Liberation, warned
that such action is tantamount
to deliberate murder, since
the British well know that ships
bearing Hebrews to Palestine
will continue to sail the Medit
erranean.
According to the reliable in
formation received by the He
brew Committee from Pales-
tine, the British are issuing
charts to guide authorized"
shipping through the mines. It
is anticipated that, in the event
Unauthorized" ships are blown
up, the British will try to blame
the disaster on "the presence of
as yet uncleared German
Mines.
