Mr.. Walter A. Buck, Vice Presi-
dent and General Manager Of the
RCA Victor Division of the Radio
Corporation of America, was prin-
cipal speaker at a Communications
E~lectronics Forum at MorganState
College, Baltimore, recently.
The conference, sponsored joint
ly by the Baltimore Urban League
and the Placement Center of Nor
gan College, pointed up "TheRole
of the Manufacturer in MassCom-
munication" as well as the "Stake
of a Minority Group in Mass Me-
dia Of Communication" The RCA
Victor executive spoke on the
former topic while the latter sub
ject was reviewed by Waters E.
Turpin, Assistant Professor of
English at the college.
Mr.. Buck, in his remarks to the
assembly Of Morgan students and
local industrialists, discussed not
only the manufacturers respon-
sibility to consumers, but shaped
the communications industry's par
ticipation in the national defense.
He pointed out that "a goth
century army could not function
| without modern communications
developments; the United States
would be almost defenseless with
out them" Buck further declared:
"The military services are outfirst
line of defense, but right behind
them, serving them, supporting
them, and essential to them, is
American industry. The communi-
cations industry is making a ma
jor contribution to the national
defense - which NEAR it is help
ing to protect the lives and guard
the homes of all of U.S."
Turpin, told the assembly that
the position held by Negroes de-
ponds largely upon the assump-
ton, by that minority, of the re-
sponsibilities Of migrating them.

CHAPTER TX

''Mean?" Lana's face was all In
nocence again. why, nothing.
What could mean? It's only that
Edward is sucker for feminine in
nuence." She bent over and picked
up her magazine.
A few minutes later, Dorinda
heard the sound Of car in front of
the house, then the opening Of the
door and Edwards voice in the hall.
She sprang to her feet and he and
Fay came into the living room. She
must speak to him now before she
was completely drained Of courage.
Uncle Edwar she said
quickly. Il want to talk to you. It
its important"
Fay stood beside Edward, her
hand on his arm. Her beautiful face
was serious as befitted the occasion
but there was an expression almost
Of satisfaction in her shining eyes.
She raised her brows questioningly.
''Is it necessary, Dorinda? I'm
sure Edward doesn't feel like hav-
ing a discussion about your diff
culties just now"
please, Fay" Edward muir
injured. He looked hot and ex-
hausted, his square-jowled face set
in grayish pallor. Cant it wait
until after lunch, Dorinda? It's
been trying morning" ~
Dorinda hesitated. She thought
of Carrie upstairs finishing her
work, bundling up the used linen
for the laundry.
II won't keep you but a little
while" she pleaded.
VERY well then" Edward In
clined his head. He led the way
across the hall to his study.
Edward lowered himself into a
large armchair, his face away from
the light. But before Dorinda could
speak, a light tap sounded, the door
was pushed open and Fay came in
carrying a silver tray set with cut
glass decanter and glasses.

Dorind0 Tells Edward
OF Certain Suspicious

II wanted to get you something
before you started this momentous
discussion" she said and set the
tray down upon the end table by Ed
wards chair. She filled three
glasses. ''You, too, Dorinda. A
little sherry won't hurt any Of u.s."
AS she gave Edward his glass. she
laid her hand upon his shoulder in
a caressing gesture.
Thank you, Fay" he said CRATE
fully. He, put his own hand over
hers in fleeing response.
Fay set down her glass, half
emptied. aft you must talk TO
Edward, Dorinda, 60 ahead. III

The quiet closing of the door an
nounced her departure.
Alone with Edward, Dorinda was
at a loss how to begin. He did not
help her but sat staring down into
the golden sherry, his lids dropped
over his black eyes. The fringe Of
his lashes was as long and thick as
q girls. she noticed, watching him.
He raised his head at her timid,
"Uncle Edward" and she could see
the almost physical effort he made
to pull himself from the dark
depths where his mind had wan
dered, and focus his attention upon
her.
"Just q moment" he murmured.
He took q cigarette from q box On
the desk.

moments before sleep, the whole
troubled week seemed to pass be-
fore her in review, a notion-picture
fantasy cast upon the screen Of her
consciousness.
Morning came. Saturday and Sum-
day dragged by. Mrs. Thorndyke's
funeral was on the Monday follow
ing her death. Dorinda had only one
black dress, a simply cut black
linen from which she removed the
leaf-green buttons and belt. At two
o'clock she joined the family in the
big black sedan which waited be-
fore the house and they drove to
TrentVille.

She waited until. he had extin-
Ruished his match before she spoke.
Afterward, she could not remember
what words she had used. She only
knew that she had to tell him and
she did, stumbling, incoherent, but
in the end. making her monstrous
suspicious clear. IF someone held

When she finished, he was silent.
The gray white Of his face had
changed to q dull crimson. He
placed his glass on the arm Of his
chair and rose to his feet. He
walked back and forth in the con.
fined space between her and the
desk. Like a man treading a cell,
his steps limited by enclosing walls,
she thought involuntarily, and was
glad when he ceased his restless
pacing and paused beside her chair.
"Dorinda," he said, his voice
curiously gentle. We've gon e
through bad time, all Of US. You've
been placed in a peculiar position.
, haven't been blind to your doubts,
your fears. / can understand that
your suspicious might be easily
aroused.
This thing you've suggested
this monstrous thing-1 can't tell
you how you've hurt me. And your
accusation, for it is practically an
accusation, has no more foundation
than a smear Of ipstick."
Don't say that, Uncle Edward, I"
Dorinda protested. II never meant
to accuse anyone Of anything. It's
because I knew you loved your
mother I felt you had to know. I
couldn't keep a thing like that to
myself. I wouldn't dare"
He leaned toward her and laid
his hand upon her knee.
''But, don't you see, Dorinda, that
you're accusing someone-someone
in this house? For no outsider could
have entered in the night.
'"The servants? Carol? What
motive could any Of them have?
l believe l did mention to Carol
that my mother might have remem-
bered her in her will. But, at the
best, it will be only a comparatively
small amount and only possibility
at that. It's an absurd superstition.
Harriet or Lana? For what rea
son? They would only be ousting
themselves out Of the home they've
insinuated themselves into. For /
think they both realize I'll never
tolerate their staying here indefi-
nitely.
Fay? I don't need to tell you
that Fay's interests coincide with
mine. And. mark this, child, so far
as finances are concerned, was
infinitely better off financially with
my mother living than ! will be
now. You look surprised but can
assure you I am telling you the
truth"

If anything had been wrong, I
couldn't keep it to myself"
Don't think / misunderstood.

anyone else what you've said to
me-"
"Oh, I WON'T" she promised,
land I do want to forget it."
Just beyond the head of the stairs.
Dorinda came face to face with
Carrie. The maid, her arms full Of
crumpled linen, was just coming
out of Mrs. Thorndyke's room. Her
eyes met Dorinda's. But she did not
speak. and Dorinda brushed past
her and went on to her own room.
She took Randy down to the sand
that afternoon. Cleve did not come
but at least she was away from the
house and in the impersonal COM
pany Of the sea and the wind.

You won't be left alone"

You won't be left alone"
Shortly after eleven o'clock, Ed
ward and Fay in the big black Sc
dan, with Carol in the back seat,
drove away. Dorinda felt a little
disappointed at Carols departure.
Lana and her mother departed
Immediately after an early lunch.
Well, she wouldn't be lonely, Dor
rinda thought. She'd take a book
with her down to her favorite nook
and she'd have Randy. But Lana's
car had hardly disappeared down
the driveway when Greer called
Dorinda to the telephone.
Hello. Rinda!" Cleve's voice
came to her over the wire. "How
are you planning to spend the after
noon?"
'Cleve!" She did not attempt to
hide her delight. ''I'm all alone
here. And was planning to take
Randy down to the beach and soak
in a little sunshine"
Good. We seem to be thinking
along similar lines. It's warm out,
the warmest day we've had this
year. How about putting on our
bathing suits and trying out the
Pacific ocean,"
II think it would be grand. Why,
I've never been init didn't occur
to me it would be warm enough.
Oh, Cleve, it'n be fIlnl"
''Okay. Then I'll meet you down
on your beach in half an hour. Have
your suit on and Wen see what kind
Of water baby you are.''
She pushed open the swinging
door at the end of the hall and went
out into the kitchen.
Carrie, spotless in blue house
dress and print apron, had just
finished washing the luncheon
dishes. She set two polished glasses
on a high shelf and shut the cup
board door before she turned to
face Dorinda.
Dorinda felt tremor Of discom-
fort. But she tried to make her
voice natural as she said, Carrie,
I'm going down to the beach for
the rest Of the afternoon. II you'll
fix some sandwiches and cookies
oh, whatever you have and a
thermos Of coffee, won't need any
dinner tonight. Cleve Adams Is
meeting me and wen picnic on the
sand"
There's cold fried chicken in the
icebox," suggested Carrie. 'and

Swell II you'll get it ready.
Carrie, III take 1t down with me

Or / could myself" Carrie pulled

icebox. I'm glad you amt going
to be down there by yourself"
II am, too. But even if were

Maybe not. But kinda funny
things happen sometimes. Carrie
still stood in front Of the opened
icebox, her back to Dorinda. 1T
