Little Bunny went to join his
brothers and sisters, but he didn't
feel like playing.
You see, the home of the rabbit
family was built in a hollow in the
ground beneath a big fir tree. All
around the snug little home there
were tangled bushes which complete
ly hid it from any ~passer-by. The
sun rarely shone in the little thick
ct and when it did it created fasci-
mating shadows on the floor of the
forest. All that Little Bunny really
knew about the world outside was
what the birds had told him.
They told about the stars and
the moon and the lovely green
meadow. They made it sound SO
wonderful that Little Bunny thought
nothing could possibly be more Won
derful than to get out and e it
all for himself.
And then Little Bunny had a dar-
ing thought! 81 will just slip out
when Mother and Father and my
brothers and sisters fall asleep" he
thought in delight.
That very night, Little Bunny did
just that.
When he was sure everyone was
sound asleep, he crept out very
quietly and went hippety-hop down
the path as fast as his legs could
carry him.
At first he was so happy that
every little while he would give his
hind legs an extra flip. Before long
he came out of the forest into the
meadow. There he stopped. The gras'

Break in Steel Strike
Hinted as Peace Talks
Continue in New York
Situation Not Hopeless,
Ching Soys;; New Offer

There was some hope today for
an early settlement of the big

Industry sources indicated a

pany-paid pensions and insurance
The feeling of optimism seemed
to be borne out by the fact that
Cyrus S. Ching, Federal mediation
chief, opened third day of peace
conferences with the United States
Steel Corp. in New York. Mr..
Ching originally went there for
a one-day talk.
Mr.. Ching himself was not talk
ing very much. He did say that
the situation in the 21-day steel
strike sis not hopeless" but he
added after the second day of
talks with United States Steel,
giant of the industry, I'VE do not
want to create the impression
that there is a basis for opti-
nliSm."
Scene Of Talks Secret.
However, industry sources in
sisted that the steel dispute was
moving off Of dead-center. The
companies were said to be pre-
pairing a new offer to the CIO,
and it was known that Mr.. Ching
carried settlement proposal to
New York for presentation to
Big Steel"
The location Of the conference
in New York was kept secret.
Meanwhile, President Truman
repeatedly told a group of indus
trialists at a private -the-rec-
ord dinner last night that he saw
no sense to the steel and coal
strikes and was critical of both
labor and management. The din
ner at the Statler Hotel was spon-
sored by A. and H. Kroeger, New

Mr.. Truman told his news con-

had no immediate plans for seizing

during the war while he was in

now that he has stepped out Of
the circle of his formative years,

His program was not very long

OF the last two compositions the

It stood out from a mass of con-

Although the musical pattern Of
both works is adroitly woven. the
variations are less spontaneous
and show traces of paraphrasing

A slip in Bach's italian Con-

authoritative delivery and musi-
cal expressiveness. 1t was the
type of playing one looks for but
rarely finds. "Andante motto es-

Contrasted with this. Scarlatti's
delightful sonatas sounded per-

Mr.. O'Meagher play Stravinsky

seemed to be in his element. The
