back into the room.

said. ALSO drained the gas outa
Max's car and put it in Docs"
Doc Strengthened and glanced
at Tommy. The kid held a heavy
pair of pliers in his hand, and
there was a smell of gasoline
about him. His eyes were wide
and fixed on the bloody bandage
about Max Ummel's leg.
That's the best l can do for
him here with what I've got"
Doc said heavily. You'll have
to be careful when you move
him or -"
A GREAT WEAKNESS had come
over Doc. He shrugged into his
coat and sfumped down on one
of the straight chairs.
Il guess we won't need you
from now on, Doc" Fred
Ummel said.
Something in the mans voice
jerked Docs eyes to the men,
acing face. There was little
twisted smile on the mans thin
lips, squint to his expression
less eyes. a quick tickling OF a
vein in his forehead - and Doc
knew terror. He realized then
that Fred Ummel wasn't going
to let him 60, that the man
wasn't going to take a chance
on Docs giving the alarm to
the police.
Doc stared about the room
and rubbed his moist palms on
his baggy trousers legs. The
first thing he thought was that
if Ummel left him here. it might
be days, or even weeks, before
anyone stumbled on his body in
this empty summer house.
HEN he thought of Emma. In
the morning, she'd phone the
hospital and learn that he'd
never been there to see old Mrs.
Stanton. Then she'd begin to
worry. She'd phone Herb Alders,
and Herb would kid her about
never knowing where her hus-
band was. But Herb would be
worried. He'd call around here

Fred Ummel's face. The man
was medium tall and slender, but
powerfully built. He had high
cheekbones and a prominent
nose that fared a little as he
breathed. His mouth was thin
line from which dangled a cold
cigarette, and his eyes were with
out expression.
The eyes = Doc shuddered a
little and turned toward the man
on the bunk.
The man had been shot in the
right thigh, and it looked bad.
He was younger. than Fred.
Almost as young as Tommy,
but there was a hardness about
his face that the pain didn't
hide, and the hardness gave him
a look of age.
"Okay," Fred Ummel said,
get to work on the boy, Doc"
Frowning, Doc studied the
wound and touched the swollen
flesh with a gentle finger. Max
Ummel WINGED and cursed. The
kitchendoor opened, and Tommy
came in with a steaming pan of
water. Doc shrugged out of his
coat and hung it over the back
of a chair. Then he began to
roll up his sleeves.
''Co CHANGE the plates on the
cars" Ummel ordered, and
Tommy slouched out of the
room. Now, Doc" Ummel con-
tinued. get that bullet out of
there, and don't fool around
about it"
As he probed for the bullet,
Doc was conscious of Fred
Ummel lowering over him with
the gun in his hand. He tried to
forget the gun and the mans
expressionless eyes by concen-
trating. He wasn't altogether
successful, and his hands were
none too steady.
Its lucky the bone isn't
shattered" he said once.
Fred Ummel said nothing.
HE shouldn't be moved for a
few days" Doc added at length.
Ummel laughed shortly, but
still said nothing.
After this, Doc said no more.
Presently the door opened with a

Army Breakdown
Of Segregation
Hits Arkansas

On Friday, October 8, one Of
the first groups of men from the
state to be called for physical and
intelligence examinations, before
being drafted into the Armed SER
vices since the new mo segrega-
ton" policy of the armed forces
was initiated, went through their
exams and from reports there
seemed to be no segregation what
soever. The men, who were Of
all races, went through their
exams at the u. S. Recruiting
Center located at Second and Cen
ter streets, using the same facii-
ties at the same time. No effo,t
was made to enforce segregation
by any Of the officials or any OF
the potential draftees. There wer,
no incidents of violence or fric-
ton. The men came from Greater
Little Rock and surrounding rural
areas.

He was speaking to approximately

"Of all the nations today" he
charged, "the United States alone
wants war, forces other nations
to fight, and asks you and me to
impoverish ourselves, give up
health and schools, sacrifice our
sons to jim crow army, and COM
