What is it, David?" Corrine
asked in a small voice filled with
terror.
It's Madelyn," he answered.
She's at home with a broken
ankle and a possible spinal in
jury. They just brought her out
IN an ambulance"
"At-our house, David?" she
asked TREMENDOUSLY. She caught the
k OF the chair to steady her
self.
He looked up at her and his
eyeballS were red with suffering.
She didn't have anywhere else
to go, Corrine. We have to take
her in and take care of her. I have
to hurry over there"
"David-you can't go to herl
She'll take you from me-" She
ended on vail, and dropped into
a chair.
You've got to pull yourself to-
gether. Corrine," he pleaded.

She nodded her head, unable to
speak just yet, thinking that it
was matter of happiness or I'M
happiness, which was synonymous
with life and death to her stricken
mind.
CHE got up and pulled herself
- upstairs, holding to the banis-
ter, and went to her room. She
shuddered and picked up a foun-
tain pen.

Slipped out the side entrance and

She stared at the box and had
sudden frantic desire TO tear it
to pieces and retrieve the letter.
No, she would meet the poStman

She couldn't break up her mar
riage. She Couldn't
Her mind slowly cleared as she
hurried home. It was useless to
appeal to David, but perhaps. she
could appeal to Madelyn. Surely
Madelyn would understand how
she felt.
She spoke casually to Penelope
when she answered the phone,
and asked to speak to Madelyn.
Madelyn'S voice was so low she
could scarcely understand at first.
Corrine extended her sympathy.
I'm as sorry as anyone could be
because of your accident, Made
lyn, and | would do anything to
help you, but David and l are to
be married in less than three
weeks. and it's only right that we
should start out without handi-
cap"
"You're not fooling me a bit,
Corrine," Madelyn answered cool
ly. You're not afraid of having
me here after you're married.
You're afraid I'll take David away
from you before you can get mar

enough that ] can take him with

Corrine controlled her voice
with a great effort and said quiet

want him. I'm putting my faith

assertion that other peoples and

many's postwar difficulties and

I'm all seriousness. I want you
to know that such utterances do
incalculable harm and set back
the cause of Germany.
They call to mind what people
are now disposed to forget. that
is the amazing docility and acqui-
escence of the greater part of the
German population toward Nazi
outrages."
The policy program:
i. Germany should be inte-
grated into a free Europe.
2. THE German people should,
when they and their government
have demonstrated their readiness
and responsibility, share fully in
free Europe's economic benefits
and correspondingly assume its
obligations.
3. German security will best be
protected by German participation
in a closely knit Western European
community. That means, there
will be no German army or air
force"
Democratic Basis Urged.
4. "The German people, subject
to the foregoing considerations,
should have the widest freedom to
shape their future"
5. The United States aim is to
prevent any resurgence of ultra
nationalistic or anti-democratic
forces which would be a threat to
the peace of Europe"
6. "All constructive efforts to
help toward the goal of the unfit
cation of Germany on a demo-
cratic and federal basis will be
made"

has already found such a sympa-
thetic response among the free
people of the world, will continue
to receive the aid and support of
the people of the United States"

3. 1T is American policy to
foster free trade practices through
a program of Decentralization and
Recommendation of industry"
y. 1T is American policy that
persons and organizations deprived
OF their property as a result of
Nazi racial and political discrim-
nation should either have their
property returned to them or ade-
quate compensation given"
Mr.. McCloy expressed his con-.
Germ over the revival of the ma
tionalist tendencies and stressed
that one of the primary Ameri-
can purposes is to eradicate
Naziism.
His repetition of this point had
particular significance in Stutt-

president has been under fire for
granting clemency to an esti-
mated 10000 Nazis.

Heavy Air Raid
By the Assoeiofsd Press

Fourteen Nationalist bombers

heaviest air raid of the month.
The B-24 bombers, each carry
ing seven 500-pound bombs, at
tackled the Chapel power plant in
Communist Shanghai. 1t was re-
ported damaged heavily.
The Communists put up heavy
anti-aircraft fire but all planes
returned to Formosa safely.
Damage caused by National
ist planes which raided Com

on the China-Hong Kong bor-
der Saturday was estimated to-
day at about 100000 at

Attack on Namoa Expected.
Defense Ministry officials here
predicted Communist attack on
Namoa Island shortly.
Namoa is one of the bases from
which Nationalist carry on their
blockade of China. 1t also is i'm
portant as a supply point for ma
terial smuggled to the mainland
for use by Nationalists guerrillas
in the seaboard provinces of
Fukien and Kwangtung.
The Defense Ministry says these
guerrillas have been giving the
Reds increasing trouble. Two
whole Communists armies, the
ministry said, are being used
against the guerrillas.
A ministry spokesman said the
Nationalist guerrillas consist of
regulars and provincial militia left
behind to f1ght the Reds. The
spokesman said, they are being
supported by various secret socie-
ties.
