bent lower and reached under the
bed for the capsule. Upright, he
broke it fully open, wet fingertip
with his tongue and tasted the
powder. With heavy steps he
strobe into the bathroom. Pater-
sons bottle of sleeping capsules
stood on the shelf, and he opened
it and snapped a capsule in two.
He tasted that powder. :. Then
he grinned.
HE WAS standing tall, his back
straight, as he put a match to
Paterson's lamp and jerked the
sheet off Paterson's long body.
Get up," he said, loud. Paterson
opened his eyes slowly. "What?"
Get upw
whats the matter?'
Marsh leaned and caught an arm
and pulled Paterson upright.
Get out of bed" he said. Stand
up. I'm going to beat hell out of
you"
Are you crazy?" Paterson de-
manded. His mouth pressed into
a hard line. His eyes searched
Marsh's face and some kind of
comprehension broke upon him.
With a furious movement he
twisted his legs and flung himself
from the bed. He was on Marsh
then in an instant - like tiger.
Marsh took the first blow almost
without interference. as though he
desired it. Then his fists crashed
through Paterson's guard and
found Paterson's mouth. struck
upon Paterson's jaw, smashed his
throat. A little blood spilled over
Paterson's lower lip. Marsh shout
ed aloud, closed in, brought up a
short, stone-hammer punch with
all the dangerous force of his back
and shoulders behind it. Paterson
slumped.
IT WAS the work of several min
utes to revive him. Marsh flung
basinful of water in his face and
forced a shot of rum into his
mouth. Then Paterson stirred. His
eyes came open. He stared up at
Marsh, and Marsh was grinning.
Marsh's broad face was slashed by
a grin that. astonishingly, held
nothing of anger, of animosity.
"You can get out of here in the
morning." Marsh said. Down to
the seacoast, catch ship home.
III handle the place alone till they

Paterson said nothing.

He turned and touched the ham
die of the door.
Good night, Paterson" he said
quietly. I'm going to bed. I'm
dog-tired. I think tonight I'll sleep
ten hours. Without any capsule to
drug me. You can take your bottle

When Sam Grafton, the New York
columnist, showed up among the
guests at Hardie Meakin's recent
luncheon for RKO production boss,
Dore Schary, the other guests were
quite polite about it. None of them
asked newspaperman Grafton if he
was now working for RKO, although
a few of them were logically curious
about it.
1t turns out that, in effect, Graf
ton was doing just that.
He and Schary were in the proc
ess of a deal for a screenscript By
Grafton. The deal, since completed,
makes RKO the buyer of a story
tentatively titled "A Modern
Ecstasy" 1t has no relation to any
other ecstasy which the movies may
have dealt with previously. On the
contrary, it deals with two charac-
ters who fall victims of radioactivity
during atomic bomb experiments,
the ones at Los Alamos.
1t will be some time before "A
Modern Ecstasy" reaches the screen

was there on business that day.

"Oklahoma's" 2,000th performance
clearly calls for a fitting celebration
and don't think the Theater Guild
Richard Rodgers, Oscar Hammer
stein II, etc. are not up to their
necks in proper plans. The first
step taken was the re-employment
of Celeste Holm, the first Ado Annie,
for three weeks in her old role. That
employment starts on December l
and by December 4. the 2,000th per-
formance night, Miss Holm will be
right back in the old groove.
incidentally, it amused the recent
White House photographers annual
dinner audience here that Miss
Holm forgot the lyrics of Il CANT

She will be up on them again,
of course, on the big night. She had
better be, since the conductor of
the orchestra that night will be
Richard Rodgers himself.
These are only the first of the
plans to celebrate the fabulous sue
cess of the musical.

human probability will never be
repaid. They are gifts to other
countries Of our labor, and our nat
ural resources, Of which we have
none too great supply. They are
paid for by heavy taxes on American
production and American workers.
I have always felt that we should
help the nations whose economy was
destroyed by war to get on their feet.
We should give them the machinery
and the raw materials necessary to
set the wheels going. We have to
continue to ship food to prevent
starvation, and some additional
food to tide them over at q reason
able standard Of living, until the
machinery does move. But I believe
our loans should be made to specific
countries for specific purposes and
only to pay for goods shipped from
the United States.
An international WPA.
This year we have In our BUDGET
some four billion dollars to finance
foreign shipments. 7 would hope
tnat our annual contribution might
be gradually less until it is entirely
eliminated in a period Of about four
years. In the meantime, the Inter-
national Bank is In operation with
resources OF eight billion dollars or
more and can be Of further assist
ance, such assistance incidentally
coming almost entirely from the
United States.
In the long run, no nation can
i've on the bounty Of another nation
II can only permanently enjoy a
standard of living produced by its
own earnings or reasonable hope of
future development. I think we
overestimate the accomplishments
to be secured by few dollars from
outside compared to the inter-
national organization and manage
ment of any nation by its own
leaders. Certainly we wish to help,
but an international WPA would
fail to solve the problem of world
work just as it failed to solve un-
employment in the United States.
I do not believe that America can
save the world with money. We
can only help the world to save
itself If 1t wishes to be saved and
makes its own utmost effort.
OF course, in this intermediate
period, we must maintain a strong
Army and Navy, and while the Rus
sian attitude remains what 1t is, we
had better retain the atomic bomb.
I do not sympathize with those who
say that our Army and Navy have
fallen to pieces. They are still the
most powerful in the world, unless
we want to fight the Russian mil
lions IN their own back yard. II we
can't maintain adequate armed
forces with an expenditure of ten
and half billion dollars q year
then we must have very inefficient
management of the Army and Navy
We know that Is not so. We want
the most expert army the world has
ever seen to meet the contingencies
Of modern warfare. We want the
Evening star., 1947-09-26

best research for military purposes,
and We want the best organized in
telligence service. This Congress has
already unified the armed services
and has provided a system Of pro-
motion in the Army and an intelli.
gence service which should tremen-
dously improve the efficiency of our
defense.
Expression of Ideals.
In conclusion, our foreign policy
should be the expression of the in
terests and ideals Of the American
people. 1t should express first our
determination to maintain peace II
at all possible. 1t should express q
determination to join with others In
opposing aggression by other nations
IN order to preserve peace. 1t should
express our interest In an interna-
tional organization to prevent ag-
gression. 1t should not interfere
with the kind OF government other
nations wish to have, nor with the
economic policy they wish to pursue
II 1t is reasonably fair to Us.
The United States does not want
to be busybody. We don't want to
develop an era of American i'm
perialism. Somehow our people
don't like to boss other people, Just
as they don't like to be bossed-and
so they are not good at the Job. We
can never make O success of i'm
perialism because we are not i'm
perialists.
We must stand up for our system
OF individual and economic freedom,
and point out the dangers Of q total
itarian world. If we can show that
this country can maintain freedom
and the highest standard Of living
in the world under the American
system, it will not be many years
before the example set will be fol-
lowed by every other nation.

; U. 5. Doctors Concerned
Over Reich Medical Setup
BY the Associotsd Press

FRANKFURT, Sept. 26. Three
officials of the American Medical
Association reported today they had
found United States Army medical
facilities in Germany excellent"
but they expressed concern about
the German medical situation.
Although they explained they had
not thoroughly studied German ia
cilities In their six-day tour, the
physicians said they had received
reports of a shortage Of competent
German doctors and medical sup
plies.
They refused to comment on the
denazification program which bars
many young physicians from prac-
tice because Of Nazi affiliations.
However, DR.. Roscoe L. Sensenich

Teheran, Yalta and Potsdam.
In spite of the lack Of co-opera-

publicans, since they have controlled
Congress, have tried not to rock

fort to correct past errors. They
have supported the United Nations

Function Of Opposition.
In my opinion, current foreign
policy as far as possible should not
be q subject of partisan debate, and
ths Republicans have not made II
70. But 1t certainly is the function
Of the opposition to point to the
serious errors of the past and the
philosophy Of government which
brought them about. Foreign policy
must be judged by its results, and
the results Of the foreign policy OF
the Administration during the past
three years have created situation
az bad or worse than that which ex-
listed before the war, and have
brought the world to q state Of eco
nonaic collapse. Certainly the Ad-
ministration whose policies have
produced these results has no basis
for appealing to the people for fur
ther confidence on the ground that
they are peculiarly fitted or fitted at
all to administer foreign policy.
