was slack in his arms. A wild terror
seized him then. and he staggered
with her along the car to where the
headlights made pale mist and he
could see the blood on her forehead,
the rain washing it away. Her eyes
were open; the rain made film over
them and they did not blink.
He had her in his arms. and the
wind drove him like a leaf, hurled
him before it. He went off the road

crashed and roared underneath. But
it stayed.
Morning found them there. The
worst of the storm had passed,
although the rain still fell and the
surf thundered below them. In the
pale light Gregory looked at Betty,
and she looked at him. The cut on
her forehead had quit bleeding now
- it wasn't too bad a cut-but there
was a stain of blood streaked down
beside her nose.
Quite a blow, wasn't it," Betty
said.
"Yes," Gregory said. He kept
looking at her. "You look like a
drowned rat" he said. He thought:
She looks beautiful. She's always
beautiful.

Betty said.

Gregory for more than an hour now
and he said:
"You we're in town last night
when Steve told you I was coming
toward the island. What were you
doing on the mainland?"
Berry stood up to look out of the
window: but rain was blowing in.
There was no glass.
With her back to Gregory she said,
II went because l knew you'd want
me to. / didn't think you'd ever
know whether l did or not; l didn't
think you were in Florida. But /
knew that when you read about the
storm. you'd hope l had gone to the
mainland, and 50. ="
Gregory went over to stand beside
her. Through the window he could
see gray world of rain and rolling
gulf. so we were both thinking of
the other" he said. But we began
fighting as soon as we saw each
other"
She turned to look at him. Maybe
the rain had blown in her face, or
maybe she was crying. although it
wasn't like Betty to cry. She said.
We'll always fight. But I'd rather
fight with you. darling. than not
fight with somebody else"
He said, '1f we'd try harder, if
we'd be more careful -"
That's it." said Betty. and put
her arms around his neck. You'll
always be telling me to be careful.
and so we'll always be fighting. And
we'll always be making up. And it's

Roosevelt Laid Plans
For Trip 10 England,
McIntire Says in Book
BY the Assoeiotsd Press

NEW YORK, Oct. 25-Vice Ad-
miral Ross McIntire, Franklin D.
Roosevelt's physician throughout his
presidency, said today in his new
book, White House Physician" that
the President was planning a trip
to London at the time Of his death.
The Presidents son Elliott, in his
recently published book on his
fathers international conferences,
said that Mr.. Roosevelt had dis
cussed such a trip with him some
time before, considering 1t the best
way to appeal to the British people
and Parliament for an end in the
postwar period to certain phases OF
British imperial policy which he
strongly opposed.
Admiral McIntire says that the
1945 trip was projected at the re-
quest of Winston Churchill, and
that Mr.. Roosevelt also planned
an extensive trip to the Pacific
war theater and China after the
United Nations meeting at San
Francisco, rest prior to these
activities being the object of the
Warm Springs trip during which the
President died.
Admiral McIntire seeks to put an
end to reports that the President
was i'll during the, 1914 campaign
and his trip to Yalta. Up until the
very morning of his death, the doc
tor says, Mr.. Rooseveltis heart anc
arteries gave no clue that he might
| be subject to cerebral hemorrhage
which killed him. 1t was general
strain, not specific illness, which
worried Admiral McIntire, he says.
Admiral McIntire says that MIR
Roosevelt intended to retire from
the presidency after his second
term, and said so repeatedly, bu
was convinced that he should seel
third term to avoid repudiatior
OF his foreign policy. Then, wher
he had actually been nominated, tn,

split over Henry Wallace's vict
presidential nomination got hi!
dander up," says Admiral McIntire
and he drafted statement refusing
to run and was barely dissuaded by
his White House advisers to with.
draw 1t before it was published.
AS for the fourth term campaign
in 1914, Admiral McIntire says
Mr.. Roosevelt become convinced
that his United Nations and Other
postwar ideas required him tt
serve, and that partisanship played
no part In the decision.

$3.50 ,OO0, 900.
The approval gave the agency the

Actual construction will have tc

hospitals will not be ready for occu-
pancy for about two years.
Reason for canceling the previ-
ously authorized additions is that
more beds in new hospitals will be
available under increased construc-
ton programs than was thought, the
agency said. Funds authorized fol-
the additions will be used for gen.
eral Improvements on the hospitals
affected, 1t was reported.
The new hospitals include 1000
