EncinoNit seemed to him that the
five intervening years might just
as well never have existed. He felt
not a day older than he had when
he had finished his first year.

little figure Of Julie huddled up

"CEEMS to me we're all getting

1endar in his customary easy
manner said. "How do we know
String won't be greater sensa-
ton than Bruce? You can all do
what you please. You can all listen
to her if you want to-" he said,
jerking his thumb in Calls direc-
ton. "She came along when the
bottle was already full of cream.
She didn't have to 60 through
East 5th. And so she doesn't care.
But me-I'm staying with Homer,
at least until we know how String
is going to pam"
1t was a long harangue-coming
from Bill; and the others looked
down at the floor in embarrass-
ment. The boys grumbled and
groused to save their faces; but
they admitted Bill was right.
Settling with fury, Gail swept
to the door. AS she opened it she
turned back.
"Suckers!" she sneered. Dumb
suckers!" She threw down her
trump. "Any bunch of Dummies
that would let a man sell them
down Sunset Strip because he's
gone goofy about T'nette-"
She banged the door behind her
to close out the storm that sud-
denly arose. She hurried to her
own room, her hard, beautiful
head pounding with the burden of
trying to figure out some way to
force Bruce to return to the band
and to her side.
Because" she thought, as she
unlocked. her door, hell forget
me if ever he gets back to that
awful school"
And Bruce had forgotten her;
and the other members of the
band. There wasn't room in his
crowded soul as he sat with Dean
Thayer in the Deans Office at the
medical school discussing resump-
ton of his studies.
Five years is a long time" he
said. Mental attitudes change"
Regret crept into the Deans voice

siasm of extreme youth is natu-

OPA Awoifs Congress

WASHINGTON, March 5 -
(LPA) - The Senate will be
faced this week with the choice
of ending the life of OPA-and
with it the present system of
rent controls-or extending the
agency beyond June 30.
The Senate Appropriations
Committee last week reported
out a deficiency bill which al
lowed OPA about $17,000,000
more than the House did to liq-
uidate.
Still up in the air was the bill
approved by a Senate Banking
Committee subcommittee, which
would raise rents 10% across
the board, and remove all rent
ceilings on new dwellings.

cious mandates that denied all
men equal opportunity to live
and work for their own happl-
ness and the happiness of others.
To aver that such a struggle
could be fought and won in the
eight years between 1776 and
1884 is to aver the impossible.
Thomas Jefferson knew that
the Revolutionary War was only
an evening gone in the onward
march of man; Andrew jackson
knew it, Abraham Lincoln knew
it, Theodore Roosevelt knew 1t,
Woodrow Wilson knew it, and
the ablest successor of all OF
them, Franklin Delano Roose-
Welt, also knew it.
"Who are these people who
have written this great Ameri-
can credo of being unafraid?
Home For Oppressed
Sup in New York Harbor
there stands a tremendous sta
tue with uplifted lamp facing
the East. On the pedestal OF
the monument to liberty there
is inscribed these words ad-
dressed to the world: Give me
your tired, your poor, your
huddled masses yearning to
breathe free, the wretched re-
fus of your teeming shore. Send
these, the homeless, tempest
tossd, to me; l lift my lamp be-
side the golden door.
These are the American peo-
pie. The tired, the poor, the
huddld masses, the wretched re-
fuse, and the homeless. If they
have seemed to flee, they fled
only from fear for the brief
moment needed to don the armor
of fearlesSness.
''The American credo cannot
accept less for its proponents
than world citizenship. 1t must
continue to proclaim its fear
lessness abroad as it must con-
tinue to proclaim it at home.
The timorous and the selfish
will deplore it just as their fore
bears deplored the Boston Tea
Party as hoodlumism and crime.
If, now and again, our citizens
are forced to reveal the tagging
inadequacy of their own gov
ernment, it is because the Amer
ican credo insists upon it.
This credo lives in the hearts
of the people, not merely in the
limited but immortal documen-
tation beginning with the Decla-
ration of independence. A rad
ical credo must grow in con-
tent and meaning, even though
its expressive form may emerge
slowly"
