away the blackness, and in the haze she
saw him and he represented help. Her hand
moved out for support, and when he kicked
it away savagely she knew from far down in
the reaches of her beaten mind that her last
lob had arrived. She screamed - the loudest
noise he'd ever heard and the last she'd
ever make.
He kicked at her and reached over her
body to take the jacket out of the carton.
but he had to pull her back to open the door
He slammed it shut behind him and sobbed
as he jumped for the staircase He ran down
the stairs two at time. Behind him he
heard people moving, calling, shouting.
Forty-eighth Street looked as usual, but
in his frightened imagination he seemed to
hear cries raised up against him, and his
Judgment deserted him. keeping pace with
his flying feet. Abandoning all caution, he
rushed across Eighth Avenue and headed
towards Broadway. seeking the sanctuary
of numbers.
IHE old man at the stage door was having
his usual summer trouble. Now that the
war was over you'd think theaters like this
would have air-conditioning again. But no;

just before the Broadcast, even the big
scenery doors down at the end of the alley
As result, every kid in the neighborhood
tried to sneak his ragged pants past him.
He was always chasing back and forth,
raging against the jeering and hooting of
their teasing. While he was down at the end
of the alley. he didn't notice a wild-eyed
man run through the stage door and slam
it shut behind him.
Once inside the theater, the fugitive
looked first for hiding place, then noticed
that the stage right before him was set up
for radio show. People moved busilv behind
the lowered curtain. This was perfect! He
was inside the theater, and everybody knew
you had to be at Broadcast long before it
started.
He found the door which would admit
him to the seats, and took one on the aisle
- just in case All around him were foolish
grinning people. Let laughter ring! He could
laugh too, with brooch as big as the palm
of your hand hanging snugly around his
neck
He closed his eyes and leaned back against
the chair. Relief poured over him like a
cool shower, and with it he soaked up new
strength and mental stimulation After the
radio show, he'd leave the theater and stroll
with the crowd to the Times Square subway
station. The busiest station in the world.
Once home, he'd buy the papers and spend
five or six days in his own neighborhood,
just taking it easy. After that he'd dispose
of the jewelry. then take an extended vaca-
ton in old Mexico. This was perfect.
The master of ceremonies was explaining
what was going on; but the fugitive stayed

wasn't until he felt the man next to him tan
his shoulder that he started forward in wild
panic. He looked up and saw huge man
holding mike standing in the aisle next to
him. Evidently they'd all thought he was

Sure he'd go up. They'd take his name, and
then his story of seeing broadcast had to
be accepted. He grinned and moved down
the aisle. the brooch humping like nervous
pulse with every step. He gave his name,
sat down next to be-ribboned service man
with several hash marks, and waited for the
other contestants to be chosen He looked up
at the backdrop that spelled out the title
OF the program; "cRANsToN DIARIES PRE-
SENrs = SMILEY STAFFORD WITH ANSWER
OR ACT :" Answer or act? Must be like the
game OF forfeit he used to play in his teens.
The fat comedian had made him the
favorite, and called him up to start the pro-
gram rolling. He explained that if the con-
testant couldn't answer, he had to perform
task set beforehand. If he did answer cor
rectly. he got fifty dollar war bond.

because he used to sing foolish song about
Ann Boleyn - but he kept his smile. He'd
have to 60 through with it. This wasn't the
time to get upset and throw the whole busi-
ness out the window He waited, then slowly
shook his head This delighted everybody,
and he realized nobody ever answered the
question - the fun was in the task he'd
have to do. Well - get on with it; what the

through his momentary reverie. He looked
petrifed, and saw the fat man lift from a
box horse collar, then the top half of
horses's body. The comedian explained that
this contestant and the next would form
horse; then the fun would begin.
He was stunned. His hand moved up,
and felt the great bulk of the brooch as it
turned cold and scared icily through his
skin. BY now the police would be all over
the neighborhood and here he was -
All he could hear was voice. and then
it seemed to be thousand voices, all yelling
and screaming at him - all saying the same
horrible words over and over as the horse
collar was extended to him: Take off your
shirt. please - Take off your shirt - TAKE

in charge of bills affecting Flor
ida. Numerous conferences of
the state commissioners of agri-
culture, were attended, repre-
senting the Florida Commission
.er of Agriculture, with confer
ences with Secretary Anderson,
and the Interstate Commerce
Commission.
Essentially Public Relations
Incidentally, Mr.. Outman han
died all the war food applica-
tons. His Washington office be-
came a Bureau of Information.
Thousands of visitors to Washing
ton sought information about
Florida and its resources, and
many requests came for help in
securing airport and barge serv-
ice.
The Washington Office is es-
sentially one of Public Relations.
Public Relations to be worthy of
the name must be a building of
goodwill. Everything done or
attempted in Washington from
office routine to the most nitric
ate presentation of any Florida
subject, whether relating to agri-
culture, immigration, industrial,
commercial or otherwise, is gear
ed directly to goodwill and mutt
ual satisfactory relations. Added
to this is personal service to
all Floridians or those desiring to
become Floridians. The way has
been smoothed and made easier
for thousands of such, seeking
hotel accommodations and rail-
road reservations, and entree has
been made on countless appoint
ments in Washington where days
and days of wearisome effort has
been saved for those seeking COM
mercial and political contacts in
the nations capital.
After attending many hearings
before the Interstate Commerce
Commission, the last being for
three and one-ha1f days, it was
determined that something should
be done to restore coastwise ship
ping to Florida. A dinner con-
ference meeting was called, at
which were heads of the various

Millions Of copies of outstand-
Ing booklets and pamphlets and
illustrated circulars on Florida
end its resources have been print
ed and distributed by Florida
through its Bureau of Immigra-
ton since 1925. Much of this ma
terial was produced in natural
colors. II is a frequent conse-
quence that Florida literature ten
years old or more is frequently
pulled from desks and cabinets
Of people of prominence, proving
Florida literature to have far
greater periods of usefulness than
average advertising matter.
Lacked Personal Contact
But all this lacked the ability
90 make personal contact with
prospective investors and that
was sought to be supplied by
placing a representative in Wash

bic task OF watching national leg

purpose was provided for by the

The Florida Legislature of 1945
failed TO appropriate any funds
whatsoever to continue the work

under Legislative authorization

 Early CettIeIMent
 Of Westinghouse
 Strike Unlikely
By UNITED PRESS

Cleanup and maintenance men returned to work today at 46 of General Motors Corporations 92 strike-bound auto plants, but hope faded for an early settlement of the Westinghouse Electric Corpora tion strike.
 International Harvester Company meanwhile, announced 1t had offer ed the CIO farm equipment work CTS an 18 cent hourly pay boost contingent on settlement of other contract issues after strikers return to their jobs.
 Farley Today
 Company and union officials will meet today to discuss the offer.
 Thirty thousand Harvester work CTS have been on strike for 59 days over a 30 per cent wage increase demand.
 The 121 1-day- oldUnited Auto Workers (CIO) strike against GM kept 175,000 workers idle, and 75,- 900 Westinghouse workers stayed away from their jobs for the 66th day. Other strikes across the na- ton affected more than 100000 workers.
 Top JAW officials rejected a General Motors demand that all locals be ordered to end the strike immediately. GM said that non- union maintenance and cleanup men would return only to those plants where union locals have set tie plant grievances.
 The corporation warned that none

 The union, holding to a demand for A minimum hourly increase of lsIs cents, maintained that the company offer actually amounted to only 9.7 cents an hour. It also said that 10000 lamp workers would receive mo increase at all, but Westinghouse replied that these workers would be covered by a separate agreement"
 The wage offer, first made by westinghouse in the dispute, was submitted yesterday.
 Dock-WOrkers Strike
 At San Francisco, CLIO. Long, shoremen Chief Harry Bridges said the unions strategy committed would meet today to formulate plans for a coastwise lock-workers strike scheduled for Ion or before April l."
 Bridges announcement came af- ter his union flatly rejected a new wage offer made by Pacific coast waterfront employers. The el1- ployers raised their previous pro- sosal of $l.33 per hour to $l.S8 for straight time and $2.07 for over time. They said their offer would give Longshoremen 8 per cent higher wages than they received on January l.. 1941.
 Negotiations for 8 new bitumdn- ouS coal contract continued at Washington. John L. Lewis, presi- dent of the United Mine Workers (AFL.), was to resume converse tions with the bituminouS coal oper- ators today.

for bottling Spur, the Canada Dry
company's cola beverage, and
scrutinized the furniture warehouse

Farrell said.
The brothers also viewed" various
other city buildings, but the Market
street structure seemed to attract
the most favor from them, the
agent continued.
A survey of the city's marketing
area was also made by the
brothers, Farrell said, and they
expressed enthusiasm for Whining
tons general economic set-up.
Although the Prisons said they
expected to take action on a lease
