And then, before he could
speak, she moved cautiously,
sat up, and looked down at him
gravely.
I'm sorry you hate me so
much and that you'd like me
to 60 away" she said impul-
sively. "But please don't make
me. You have so much more
right here than I have, only

Greg said with a sort Of re-

1 don't hate you. I think maybe
it would be better if I could"
Gail could only stare at him.
But it was dark beneath the
trees; his face was only a pale
glimmer, and she could only
guess at its expression.
"You see," he told her at last,
his voice almost stern, "I'm
afraid that I'm falling in love
with you. And would that be a
mess!"
For a moment, Gail forgot the
vagaries of the hammock and
gave a little convulsive start
She clutched the side of the
hammock just in time to keep

Somewhere she managed to
find a small shred of a voice
that sounded faint and far away
and could only stammer,
"Would it,"
Greg turned to her and still.

in the darkness.

woman in the world I'd want te
fall in love with. You're every
thing I don't like. You're spoiled
and conceited and sef-centered
yet, blame it, you're so darneo
sweet"
Too shocked for speech, she
sat clutching the edges of the
hammock and stared at him
marveling, dazed, bewildered.
"You see," he went on after {

and the anger had gone from

quite steady, II know so vel

could trust her voice, she sale

Gen. Erskine Will End Work
of Retaining Unit Tomorrow

/ to develop co-ordinated and perma-
nent program to urge employers to
hire disabled persons. He heads
the new National Association for
Employment Of the Handicapped
composed of more than 80 organ
izations, which held it's first meet
ing Friday.
He said about 1000 people need
rehabilitation of some kind before
they can get along in a suitable
job.
Like Gen. Bradley, Gen. Erskine
is anxious to get back to active
military duty. But he plans to keep
in close touch with the Govern
ments programs for the disabled.
His interest in education and
training probably led to his appoint
ment as chief Of the agency in Sep
tember, 1945.
After the Two Jima campaign, the
general set up education courses for
the 3rd Division. Using what text
books he could get, he appointed a
faculty" and within a few weeks
$500 Marines were going to school
They attended classes for is hours a
week, unless they preferred mess
duty or other routine work.
Secretary of the Navy Forrestal
got look at the education project
during a tour of Pacific bases. A
few days after he returned to this
country, Gen. Erskine was in Wash
ington with his new assignment.

The Retraining and Re-employ-
ment Administration, a wartime
agency set up by President Roosevelt
in February, 1914, will close tomor-
row. It Is scheduled to die ofacially
June 80.
Maj. Gen. Graves B. Erskine, who
led the Sd Marine Division through
the Two Jina campaign. has al
ready resigned as head Of the agency.
President Truman has said he could
go back to active duty with the
Marines April IL.
Sixty-three of the agency's 10
workers here will lose their jobs to-
morrow. The remaining seven will
stay until the end of June to take
care Of mail and to remove records
and property. The Office occupies
the top floor of the Federal Trade
Commission building, Sixth and
Pennsylvania avenue NV.
What's worrying Gen. Erskine,
however, is that there is only $4,000
on hand-before giving the SO work.
ers regular pay and terminal leave
checks-that has to last through
June. Fauilre to get 100000 ap-
preparation requested last November
is the reason for closing tomorrow,
Gen. Erskine said last night.
Never a Large agency, the Refrain
ing and Unemployment Administra-
ton has had its share of troubles.
Responsible to the Secretary of La
Dor, it has served as an advisory
agency with virtually no policy
making powers.
With an eye to the millions of ser
vicemen who would return soon to
civilian life, President Roosevelt set
up the agency as a clearing house
to all Federal programs dealing with
employment and training-both for
veterans and non-veterans. 1t was
also to serve as Federal contact agent
for State veterans departments and
for community veterans centers that
sprung up all over the country.
Numerous conferences have been
held here to bring officials of the
centers up to date on Federal ser
vices. The agency put out a weekly
bulletin to serve the same purpose,
and assigned a man Il. each of the
13 branch areas set up by the Vet
erans' Administration to keep In
closer contact.
Gen. Erskine has asked President
Truman to turn over activities of his
agency to Federal official, prefer
ably a cabinet member.
He recommended that the Vet
erans' Administration take over the
functions of a clearing house in
dealing with State and city agen-
cies.
