Bevin Is Confident
That Ministers Will
Resolve Differences
BY the Assoeiofsd Press

LONDON. April 29.-British For
etgn Secretary Bevin returned today
from the Foreign Ministers Confer
ence in Moscow and told newsmen
that Il am not unduly pessimistic,
neither am optimistic about inter-
national affairs.
Il ask the British people to have
patience" he said on landing at
Heathrow airport. I'VE shall recon-
cile our differences"
Mr.. Bevin returned to London by
way of Berlin, where he conferred
yesterday with British Control
Commission officials and discussed
the German problem.
Mr.. Bevin was smiling and looked
fit, despite the strain of the foreign
minister's conference and his trip.
He has been in poor health in
recent months and his doctor went
with him to Moscow.
No Comment on Marshall.
After he exchanged greetings
with his wife and government rep
resentatives at the airport, he was
shown newspaper accounts of Sec
retary of State Marshall's broad
cast last night.
His comment was: II can tell you
better after the London conference
Mr. Bevin said it remained to be
seen whether the ministers London
meeting in November would be more
successful than the Moscow meet
ing.
When the time comes for a set
tlement to be resolved on Ger
many" he added, "the British gov
eminent will be very proud of their
work" at Moscow.
The foreign secretary obviously
was disappointed that Moscow had
failed to produce an Austrian treaty,
one of the few accomplishments
that Britain actually had expected
from the meeting, which the British
government has always regarded as
largely of a preliminary nature
Il hoped and believed 1t would be
possible to come back with a treaty
establishing Austria as an indepen-
dent state" he said. Unfortunately
agreement was not possible, but a
commission has been set up and
that result might be achieved at not
too distant a date.

ciples as the next stage in the re-.

in crisis of pique knew no law EXCEPT th..
law of gun. And the stake was high now. Il
was DR.. Conrad Carrot himself.
1t was an issue, Neal knew, that he must
sweat out And he must do the right thing
Not just the right thing for Mary and Garret,
but the right thing for society Ifhe told about
Mary, two people would be hurt If he didn't
tell, the injury could be vastly wider; it would
take in all the thousands of human lives - all
the legion of crippled children - DR.. Conrad
Carrot could serve and save in his next FORTY
years as skilful surgeon. What blighting
effect would it have if Garret, at the outset
of his career, should link his DESTINY with
Mary Young's?
Meals harassed mind conjured headlines
year from now, or five years from now. And
underneath the headlines something about

wife. Already they'd found out she had

subject to fits of killing fury . Or it might
be just an item in the Medical Journal, saying
that the brilliant infantile paralysis expert.

due to breakdown from causes unknown.
HE arguments on that side packed power.
Opposing them was simple, basic reluctance
that said: you just don't tell on a woman:
if you tell tales on woman, you're heel.
And if told, wouldn't Carrot 20 through
with it anyway? Wouldn't sense of gallant
loyalty make him stick by a bargain? Wouldn't
just be stirring up trouble?''
Neal wrestled with it. The deviK faced
him on one side. and on the other deep
black sea of self-accusing whispers that could
nag him the rest of his life Either decision
could be the wrong one. Mary Young's illu-
sion of being deserted at the altar yesterday
was provocation that certainly would never
come again. For eight years she'd been law
abiding building herself new life. Then just
one hour of insanity. 1t might never come
again, Did Neal have right to say that it
would or wouldn't? It's got me- he worried
I'm damned if do, damned if don't
The only consolation was that he still had
six days to make up his mind
HE days slipped by Through each of them
the question kept nagging Neal 1t preyed on
his sensitive artists mind and hung there
unanswered The gun was still in his desk
drawer. The unfinished drawing was still on
his board The unmade decision was still on
his conscience.
On the morning of the fifth day he came to
his office and faced the issue doggedy. This
was the last day before the deadine He had
to think - and think straight.
He opened the desk drawer and saw the gun
there. What should he do with it? He might
take it to an alley ash can and throw it away
where it would ultimately be found and turned
over to the police. The police would suspect it
connected with some crime and would try to
trace the gun Could they?
Neal took the gun and examined it carefully
for the first time He saw name engraved on
the butt - Conrad Garrett

at him: BRIDEGROOM MISSES WEDDING.
The story said:
''DR CONRAD GARRET, who has recently won
renown by divising new treatment for infan-
tile paralysis, was rescued from under the
wreck of his car at noon yesterday. BY the
time he could be brought to consciousness,
identified and rushed to a telephone his tryst
at marriage altar had become five hours
overdue. The bride-to-be, who is his attrac-
tive receptionist Miss Mary Young was then
informed and her distress and suspense ended.
She learned that Dr. Garret, just after lunch
the day before, on an impulse had decided to
get certain old family heirlooms from his
ancestral home at Syracuse and bring them to
New York as last-minute, surprise wedding
presents for the bride Driving back from
Syracuse at night, he took shortcut through
