not one, but two, 12-gauge pump

to talking and he turned out to be

about there being chance OF going

laid down what he was doing, gath
cred his guns and equipment and
hired a rocket plane so he wouldn't

He asked me to stop by his suite,
and soon we were joined by half a

when they weren't fondling their

iva Known Everywhere
The public response to the Presi-
dents selection was unanimous ap-
proval. The approval came not only
from Americans, but from people
in other lands. For IVA is now
known everywhere. Wherever Ameri-
cans travel abroad they are asked
about iva. Visitors to this country
want to see IVA. 1t has become
our new symbol of democratic
achievement. Mr.. Lilienthals own
book on IVA, Democracy on the
March, is~a best seller in other
countries. Published in the midst
of the war, two editions of 10000 eacn
sold out Immediately in Great Brit
ain, exhausting the publishers paper
supply Everywhere it has renewed
peoples faith in our system Of gov
ernment.
There doubtless are other Ameri-
cans competent to head the all
important Atomic Energy Commits
sion. but none whose qualifications
are so well and widely understood.
none who already has the peoples
confidence in such degree.
Yet Mr.. Lilienthal is not escaping
the same obscene sort of attack that
has oeen directed at him through
out the years he has devoted to MAX
ing IVA proud national achieve
ment. Senator McKellar has under
taken to persuade the Senate TO
reject the Presidents nomination
and has launched against Mr..
Lilienthal one of his familiar abu-
sive campaigns. 1t appears fore
doomed to fail. The Senate Atomic
Committee, having satisfied itself
concerning the nominees views on
Iaison between Congress and the
commission on the one hand, and
the military services and sne COM
mission on the other, has indicated
little sympathy with the McKellaT
attack.
River Has No Politics.
Senator McKellar's antagonism
grows out of Mr.. Lilienthals strict
enforcement of section of the act
of Congress creating iva. The
section reads: mo political test
or qualification shall be permitted
or given consideration, but all such
appointments and promotions shall
be given and made on basis OF
merit and efficiency" Senator Nc
kellar, whose political life has rested
largely en- patronage, sought again
and again to break this down ard
failing to do SO, sought to ham
string IVA appropriations. Failing
in this, he sought to prevent Mr..
Lilienthals reappointment as IVA
chairman, and failing in this, he is
seeking now to prevent his taking
the atomic post.
Mr.. Lilienthal believes in politics
but not in the Mcclellan kind.
"A river" he says in his book,
"has no politics Whether an engi-
neer is Democrat or a Republican

entirely unrelated to his ability to

kicked upwards against the latch
that fastened the cage door. It

and this time it clattered to the

open, and in that second Lilli
screamed.
A single scream, then silence.
But Plato had heard. One leap,
and the huge cat left the cage.
Tail lashing the ground, it stood

A snarl, the rip of flesh, a pierre

her feet and pulled the jaguar
back. For a moment she stood

then reaching forward, drew the
knife from Madison's belt and cut
Cliffs bonds.
He tried to stand, but could only
crouch until the blood returned to
his numb ankles, while down by

vaqueros drying the last of his
outnumbered men back over the

battle was lost. Painfully he

at the gate.
Beyond the fence, horsemen
were pouring out of the jungle at
a wild gallop, and a second later
the gate shook with the impact of
their rush. Cliff shouted aloud, ev-
cry nerve tingling - it was the
Blacklanders!
Tight-mouthed, streaked with
dust and sweat, they tore across
the clearing, shoulder to shoulder,
their horses white with foam. A
second wave of riders struck the
gate, the stout hinges burst, and
the gate crashed inWard-Vicente

She jerked desperately at his
bonds, her very haste impeding
her, and she had barely loosened
the first knot when an angry oath
sounded behind them Madison
was running up the path.
Cliffs warning cry came too
late. Already Madison was on
them, and white with ra e, he

raining blow after blow, while
h%elplessly she crouched, trying to
