Casey was failing his spade about
him with a grin Of pure joy, and
to the right Wing Toy, the cook,
armed with his shining cleaver,
had driven three vaqueros to the
shelter of the corral. Caught up
in a group of Blacklanders, Cliff
pressed forward, knife in hand.
,Wedged in between two enc
mics, the vaqueros turned at bay.
Up past the office and back to-
ward Plato's cage the battle surg
ed, leaving the ground dotted with
stricken vaqueros. 1t was no long
er a battle; it was a rout, Black
landers and rubber men uniting
to drive Madison's men from the
camp. Barely a fourth Of them
reached their horses. The rest lay
sprawled and motionless between
the river and the gate, or, cow
ering back, begged for the mercy
they themselves had never shown.
Then suddenly it was over. The
fighting and the tramp of feet had
ceased. Cliff saw Vicente walk by,
carrying Lilli to her shack; on
every side he heard the cheering
of his men, and he knew that the
power of the vaqueros had been
broken.
Happily Casey wiped the sweat
from his face. THAT just about
cooks it, Boss. No vaquero will
ever"
He stopped short. From the
river rumbled the heavy roar Of
dynamite, followed in quick sue
cession by a dozen lesser blasts,
and the sky above the dock was
crowded with broken beams and
splintered wood that hurtled up
ward and fell back with a splash.
On a dead run, the two men
raced down the path, but at the
dock they stopped, and Cliff felt
the blood drain from his heart
every one Of his barges had been
blown to bits.
Eyes fixed in disbelief. he stood
scarcely breathing, while the ex-
element of battle, the exultation
of victory died away. There was
no victory now. Without those
barges they were done; the rub
Der that lay piled for shipment
ten miles beyond the rapids might
just as well be beyond the moon.
As if in a trance. Cliff heard
Casey cursing, then at the rivers
edge a form moved, and he saw
Sloan, bending over a fuse that
led to the dock itself.
Fighting his way through the
underground, Cliff leaped down
the bank, Casey at his heels, but
Sloan had heard them. He stoop-
ed, touched a match to the fuse,
then crouched, waiting.
"Watch it, Boss!" Casey yelled
a shrill warning. Watch it! He's
got a knife!"
Too late. A CLEAN Of steel as
Sloan hurled the weapon, and
Cliff felt the sharp stab of pain
in his side. He took a short step
forward, but Casey had passed
him. The heavy shovel shirled in
a half-arc, crashed down on
Sloan's skull, and the vaquero
crumpled like a stricken OK.
'That'll do for him and his
lousy knife throWin'," Casey
growled.
Cliff jerked the fuse loose and
dropped it in the river. The burn
ing end went out with a faint hiss,
but still Cliff stood there, looking
down on the shattered barges that
marked the wreckage Of his
hopes.
somberly Casey murmured, II
guess there's nothin' we can do
now"
A mirthless smile touched
Cliffs lips. eyes, there's n
thing you car radio the cargo
ship not to come. We're washed
up" He staggered, and Casey
jumped to his side.
"Boss, you're hurt!" Dropping
his shovel, he lifted Cliff in his
arms.

Return by Order

by >the Associated Press

Cooked hats, ornamental swords
and gold lace emerged from moth
ball status today with an authori-
zation from Secretary Of Defense
Forrestal for officers Of the armed
forces to wear evening dress uni
forms on state occasions.
White House receptions and state
functions, both in the United States
and abroad, will again see the fancy
formal garb. laid aside in 1910 while
the Nation prepared for war.
Mr.. Forrestal, on orders from
President Truman, also directed the
Army, Air Force and Navy yester-
day to begin a joint study of an
appropriate" evening dress uni
form for all three services.
President Truman is reported to
have noticed at the Rio de Janeiro
conference the contrast between
dazzling foreign uniforms and the

Ethical Cases Hardest

A doctors hardest decisions dom
always involve choice of drugs or

Gus operation, members of the Wash
ington Medical and Surgical Society
were told last night.
DR.. Norman c. Shoemaker, presi-
dent of the society, told of few Of
the cases that had come to his at
tention which were a challenge to
the physicians professional ethics.
After each anonymous case was
presented, he asked them What
would you have done?" His audi
ence was at loss for the proper
solution.
He told of two 14-year -old girls
who asked their doctor for advice
on contraceptives; of a soldiers
wife, becoming pregnant after her
husband went overseas, who wanted
sleeping potion to end her life,
and of the father of three who
sought an operation to render him
self sterile.
Such cases, with which the family
doctor. is often faced, are socialog-
ical rather than medical, he con-
cluded.
After delivery of the society's an
nual presidential address, members
elected officers for the coming year.
DR.. Leo 3. Gaffney was chosen presi-
dent, DR.. Joseph Belair. vice presi-
dent; DR.. j. Keith Cromer, secre-
tary, and DR.. Frank Gibson, treas
urer.

z|otnick Says Wife
Called Men Inferior

An opinion that woman is supe-
rior to man in a marriage was ex-
pressed often by his wife, Sidney S.
Zlotnick, who is being sued for di-
vorce, was told to District Court
Justice F.. Dickinson Let's today.
Mr.. Zlotnick spent the morning on
the witness stand relating the f1nan-
cial details of his life with Mrs.
Helga s. Zlotnick after their mar
riage in Petersburg. Va. in 1943.
She told him that none of the
Washington hotels suited her, he
related, after they tried living at the
Statler, the Wardman Park and the
Shoreham within few months. In
fact, Mr.. Zlotnick said, his wife said
that washington was "city OF
traps" for her, and she often re-
turned to New York for few days.
Mr.. Zlotnick is manager of one of
his fathers fur stores.
On the stand yesterday, Mrs
Zlotnick, who seeks a divorce on
grounds of cruelty, testified her
husband refused to buy her a we'd
ding ring and that she eventually
purchased a ring herself.
Mrs. zlotnick was placed on the
stand by her attorney, Roger Robb
Under cross-examination she de-
clined to answer a question by
Attorney Jean Boardman, her hus-
bands counsel, regarding her posing
in the nude. Mr. Boardman then
offered a picture as an exhibit.
Mrs. zlotnick brought the suit In
February, 1916. 1t asks for limited
divorce. Mr.. zlotnick brought suit
against her charging desertion and
asking for absolute divorce on Octo-
ber 1S. Only the earlier suit, how
ever, is now on trial.

way of slowing up the Sd Army
I later found that this was not the

to change of plan by the high
command, implemented, in my opin-
ion, by Gen. Montgomery.
1T was my opinion that this was
the momentous error of the war.
Writing about the same matter
after hostilities had ended in Ger

II feel that had been permitted
to go all out, the war would have
ended sooner and more lives would
have been saved. Particularly ]

time when, in the early days OF
September, we were halted, owing
to the desire or necessity, on the
part of Gen. Eisenhower in backing
Montgomery's move to the north.
AT that time there was no ques-
ton of doubt but that we coulc
have gone through and on across
the Rhine within 10 days. This
would have saved a great many

Truman Urged 70 Bar
Sale Of Tanker Fleet;
Fuel Shortage Cited
By the Associofsd Press

The twin prospects of some
cold homes and an aggravated
steel shortage In this country
prompted a congressional appeal
today for action by President
Truman.
Chairman Wherry Of the Senate
Small Business Committee said his
group is asking the President to
halt the scheduled sale Of a fleet of
American oil tankers to foreign
companies.
The committee decided on this
course after hearing Grenville Mel
len, Maritime Commission mem
ber, oppose the transaction which
another witness said was discussed
by the cabinet and approved by
Secretary of Defense Forrestal when
Mr.. Forrestal headed the Navy De-
partment.
Another factor contributing to the
committees decision was testimony
yesterday by Undersecretary of the
Navy w. John Kenney, that a short
age of oil tankers will result in "seri-
GUS deficiencies in heating oil" on
the East Coast this winter.
Sees Saving on Pipeline.
Senator Wherry has contended
that larger tanker feet could be
used to bring oil to this country
directly from Saudi Arabian fields,
instead of diverting steel from the
United States to build an 1,10O-mile
pipeline to the Mediterranean.
The committee is looking into
protests by some industry repre-
sentatives that steel exports ap-
proved by the Commerce Depart
ment for construction of the pipe
line are sharpening the shortage at
home.
In announcing the committee s
plans to carry the matter to Mr..
Truman. Senator Wherry said:
II just don't see how we can
afford to jeopardize the economy of
this country
Navy Favors Pipeline.
Mr.. Kenney told the committee
there are not enough suitable tank
ers available to transport Arabian
oil by that method and said the
Navy favors construction of the
pipeline.
Mr.. Mellen testified that 90 Gov
ernment-owned tankers have been
earmarked for sale to foreign COM
panies. Among them are 81 des-
tined for the United Kingdom, ii
for France and 16 for Italy.
He said "It always has been my
position" that the United States
should retain the ships, but that a
contrary decision was made by
higher echelons" than the Mari
time Commission.
Rear Admiral w. M. Callaghan, an
assistant chief of naval operations,
testified that this higher authority
was Mr.. Forrestal. He said that
early this year the joint chiefs of
staff, after considering proposals to
sell 100 tankers, recommended that
a smaller number be disposed Of.

Mr.. Forrestal, Admiral Callaghan
said, took the matter up with the
cabinet and then last June author
lied the Maritime Commission to

ers.
Another aspect Of the Arabian oil
picture will come under congress
sional scrutiny tomorrow when the
Senate War Investigating Commit
tee reopens hearings on purchase of
oil by the Navy from the Arabian
American Co.
The committee heard testimony
last March that wartime agree
ment called for sale of oil to the
Navy at 40 cents barrel, but that
the Government was required to
pay about $105 q barrel.

The direct antithesis of this are the beliefs
of a democracy, based as they are upon the
sanctitv of the individual. The state is but
the composite convictions of its citizens. He
is no pawn-but a free man. considered cap
able and intelligent enough to govern himself
with due regard to the rights OF others. His
laws are the traffic rules determined upon
by himself and his fellows as the most con-
venient way to give freedom to all by coop
Grafton for the common good.
He may work where and when and how
he will-provided that work harms no one
nor so affects him that he becomes a charge
upon the state. If he doesn't like a job or a
locality. he is free to get up and leave.
He may worship IN his own way-freely
and with only his own conscience to determine
his beliefs. His faith is not for the State to
dictate. 1t is between himself and God.
His home is inviolate. protected from even
the State itself by the Bill of Rights. His
children. provided they are cared for and ed
ucated. are his to guide and cherish, not to
be taken from him, as long as he fulfills his
duty of fatherhood.
He may read what he wishes, listen freely
and speak his mind openly and according to
his convictions without fear or favor of the
State. And that State will protect him even
when he speaks in disagreement with it.
In a democracy the individual is a man,
ready to stand up and be counted as one.
Under a totalitarian regime, by whatever
name it calls itself. be it Nazi, Fascist or Com
munist, he is a slave.
Let those who wish to be free men, there
fore, consider what they believe-and let
them stand up at all times for the democracy
which. imperfect though it may be, still pro-
claims the sanctity of the individual and gives
him freedom to live and to pass on a greater
measure of freedom to each succeeding gen.
