I forced herself TO sit up, The room

tired"
You must go to bed. now. I'm
going to carry you in"
He picked her up in his arms
carefully, tenderly. For the dis
lance to the bedroom her arms en-
circled his neck, her head lay
against his shoulder.
"You didn't carry me across the
threshold, that morning We first
came" she laughed, a little hys-
terically. "You carried coffee and
eggs when it should have been me
for luck!"
He helped her undress. He drew
the bed covers over her. You're
sure you feel all right?"
Just tired"
He bent and kissed her fore
head. I'll finish reading that
brief. If you can't eall asleep, or
if you want anything, call me-"
When he went out she huddled
under the bedclothes, weighed
down with a sense Of defeat and
weakly angry at herself for cav
ing under at the moment when she
should have been answering Bill.
Bill would be sweet and solicitous
because she was going to have his
baby, not because he believed
what she told him!
"Oh, what's the use Of caring"
she cried, through helpless tears.
Only DANES eyes moved. from
the April sunshine slanting in
through the venetian blinds of the
hospital room to the door; the rest
of her lay in a languor of complete
exhaustion.
It had been hight outside when
she and Bill came here. She re-
membered saying, on the way:
See how bright the stars are!"
So as to appear nonchalant, un-
afraid. Walking airily down the
hospital corridor. smiling at an in
terne who approached them as if
he were coming to claim her for a
dance. A million nights ago, it had
been, a time in another life.
Ether" Doctor Everts had
parked out and then there'd been
waves washing her up, washing
oveh her, dismembering her, bit
by bit, until she was nothing.
And now, incredibly, it was a
new day and she a waiting in
this strange, still DON to see her
baby. Alone. The Nurse had said:
Your husbands gene home to get
some sleep" Though she had not
wanted Bill.
The door opened and the nurse
came in, a little cautiously. a cot
t~on-wrapped bundle against her
shoulder.
Just a peep. Mrs. Arden! I'd
get my calls for this. But I know
how you new mothers are - you
can't believe it's over till you see
the baby. And a lovely little bit
of a girl she is, the precious!"
"a GIRL?" Diane cried, aghast.
She lifted herself weakly to one
elbow. She laughed in an odd
sharp way.
Now, Mrs. Arden, you're not
to get excited, or move, Didn't
you know it was a girl? Seven
pounds to the ounce and golden
curls-just seei"
The nurse laid the bundle beside
Diane and lifted & corner of the
cotton blanket from a tiny, heart
shaped face.
Diane said slowly, wonderingly

Congress Approval
Sought on Cultural
Program Extension
By Gornett D. Horner

A bill providing for extension of
the State Departments Inter
American cultural exchange pro-
gram to countries outside the West
ern Hemisphere was sent to Con-
gress today by Acting Secretary of
State Acheson.
The measure would authorize the
department to continue its interna-
tional information services, includ-
ing short-wave radio broadcasting
beamed at various regions of the
world.
In a letter to the Senate President
pro tenn and the House Speaker,
Mr.. Acheson said there is some
doubt whether new legislation is re-
quired to authorize the information
activities.
He pointed out that most of these
activities have been conducted by
the State Department for many
years, but left up to Congress
whether specific authorizing legis-
lation would be desirable.
Similar legislation was approved
by the House in the last Congress.
but did not come to vote in the
Senate.
The cultural exchange program,
which has been limited to the
American republics, would author
ize on a worldwide scope:
l. Educational exchanges of stu
dents and professors, books and
other educational materials.
2. Assignment of American Gov
eminent specialists aborad to ad-
wise foreign governments on prob
lens in such fields as agriculture,
public health, census taking, child
welfare and civil aviation safety.
3. Joint scientific services, such
as international weather stations
and tidal survey work to aid Amer
ican shipping and aviation.
In regard to the worldwide in
formation services, Mr.. Acheson
said that misunderstanding or
false reports about the United
States can affect international ne

Meanwhile, White House Press
Secretary Charles G. Ross said the
President will send budget estimates
to Congress for the necessary ap-
propriations to carry out the loyalty
program, but that no time has been
set yet for submitting the esti-
mates.
The Civil Service Commission met
TO begin work on the estimates it
will present to the Budget Bureau
on how much money it will need
to carry out its part of the Presi-
dents order. Commission officials
said they hope to submit the esti-
mate within 10 days.
Preliminary estimates indicate
the commission will need an addi-
tional $12,O0O,0oO to employ be-
tween 5000 and $500 more employees
to do the investigative work, COM
mission officials said. Federal Off
cials believe another $12,000,000 or
$13,O00,000 will be needed by the
FBI and other Government de-
partments to carry out their share
of the program.
Plans Await Funds.
Commission officials emphasized
that until the necessary funds are
appropriated by Congress the pro-
gram can not get under way. Initial
congressional reaction to the Presi-
dents directive indicated Congress
will vote the necessary funds.
Justice Department officials said
the department will not make pub
lie the Attorney Generals designa-
tion of all organizations which he
considers Communist or Fascist
groups, or sympathetic to the pro-
gram of the Communist Party and
other subversive organizations.
The listing of such groups was
ordered by President Truman as one
of the standards to be followed in
determining the loyalty of en-
ployeS.
Justice officials said this was be-

1.-THE action doesn't call for witch

The presidential order did not

In addition to its recommended

Chang kai- -shek Calls
For Confidence in His
Leadership Of Party
BY the Associated Press

NANKING, Mar. 24.-Chiang Kali
shek, addressing a joint meeting of
government officials and delegates
to the Kuomintang Government
party) convention, today demanded
confidence in his leadership and
said the political future of the
Kuomintang depended on unity
within the party.
The generalissimo deplored at
tacks at the convention against
government officials and declared
the period between now and Sep
tember would be a most critical one
for the Kuomintang. He obviously
referred primarily to the campaign
against the Chinese Communists.
Control Of Dairen Sought.
Gen. Chang spoke after the
Kuomintang's Central Committee
including a To-day secret debate
on China's foreign policy, urged
that Russia be asked to hand ovel
the Manchurian port of Dairen ano
open negotiations over industrial
machinery removed from Man
churia.
Sources who attended said the
committee adopted a formal resolu.
ton urging this action. It called
specifically for prompt Russian full
f1llment of the Chinese Russian
treaty of 1915, under which Dairer
was to be Chinese-administereo
free port. Thus far Chinese troops
are outside the city, waiting for the
Soviet garrison to move out.
In his address Gen. Chang tolo
delegates he could see no reason fol
attacks on Foreign Minister Wang
Shih-chieh, former Premier T. v
Soong and Gen. Chen vi, governo,
general of Formosa. All three, he
said, had carried out their duties
properly"
Attitude Called Weak -Kneed.
Several delegates had criticized
China's attitude toward Russia as
"weak-kneed," blaming this on Mr.
Wang. Mr.. Soong and Gen. Chen
vi were attacked for alleged inefn-
cheney.
After the meeting Kuomintang
delegates again went into session
passing a resolution to abolish the
Supreme National Defense Council
at present the highest policy making
organ in the government, substitute
ing a body to be known as the Gen.
tral Political Council.

said they knew nothing about" an
unconfirmed story in the indie
pendent newspaper Hsin Min Pao
that 20 soldiers from a warship OF
"a certain power" had occupied Hal
yang Island. The island is between
