Mrs. Oswald Lord
Entered the Fray
To Be Helpful
By Robert Forrinqton

NEW YORK. Aug. 20. - Mrs.
Oswald Lord. co-chairman of
Citizens for EiSenhower-Nixon, Is
an amateur in politics.
She entered the political fray
last spring because of a wartime
acquaintance with Gen. Dwight d.
Eisenhower and because she likes
being helpful"
Tall, dark-haired and with q
quiet tactful manner, Mrs. Lords
gray eyes twinkle when she tries
to trace her path from social
work in her native Minneapolis to
the smoke filled rooms of politics.
With Walter Williams, she is di-
recting the work Of a citizens
committee to elect Eisenhower
President.
Devoted Yeors to SocioI Work
She has devoted many of her Al
years to social work, civil defense,
recreation. health and various ma
tional committees concerned with
activities of women and children.
One thing led to another. She
met Eisenhower during the war
while touring Europe as an ad-
wiser to the Women's Army Corps.
She got that job through civil
defense and she got into civil
defense when the late Mayor
Fiorello La Guardia suddenly an
lnounced at a luncheon that she
was his new assistant CD director
in the New York area.
She was at the luncheon in her
capacity as director of the New
York Worlds Fair.
She became a director of the
fair because she was president
Of the New York Junior League.
That tied in with her social work
after she moved here from Min
neapolis.
Mother of two grown sons, she
has found time to give advice to
the Army (she was national chair
man of the WAC's Civilian Ad-
visory Commission), to the Secre-
tary Of Defense on housing and to
the New York State Institute of
Applied Arts and Sciences.
Posts in Mony Organizations
She has held posts in an array
OF organizations, both during and
since the war. They include the
State and National War Funds,
the East Side Settlement House,
the Women's Council of Greater
New York, the New York Defense
Recreation Commission and the

BazOOka Shell Is
Surprise To All

BALTIMORE R-Sgt. Joseph w.
Koerber was driving along in the
stream of Sunday traffic when his
sharp eye spied an object in the
street.
Slamming on his brakes, he
skidded for Is feet and managed to
miss bazooka shell by a hair.
Koerber, who is in the 10th Field
Artillery Of the Maryland National
Guard, called police.
A policeman gingerly carried the
shell, the kind used in tank war
fare, to a grass plot beside the
road. 1t was three hours before a
bomb disposal expert arrived.
Nothing to worry about. he said.
The shell was empty.
1T scared me to death" Koerber
admitted.
Police haven't figured out how
the missile got there.

'EFrom these, I Judge that you

papers to refresh his memory

General Santa Ana to discuss
some matter with me that is too
confidential to be trusted to cor

Clay nodded stifiy. '"That is

The massive right hand indi-
Gated a chair that stood beside
the desk, a chair of solid oak,
heavy and square and rugged as
the man whose desk it faced.
'Be seated, Mr.. Logan. Do you
mind telling me how you reached
Oak Island?"
Clay dropped into the chair
and crossed one leg comfortably
over the other. He was beginning
to feel a surge of confidence, a
warm tide that unraveled the
taut nerves across his shoulders
and Smoothed the harsh line of
strain out of his face.

CLAY leaned tenSely forward,
~ his eyes fixed on Morgan's
face to catch the slightest flicker
of expression.
Let me say this first: You
know that up until midsummer
Santa Ana was in Cuba. a politi-
cal exile from Mexico. During
this time, negotiations were un-

the government of the United
States. Those negotiations ended
in failure and Santa Ana returned

Mr.. Morgan?"
Morgan nodded slowly. TO some

wanted the United States to buy
his friendship so that there would
be no war when Texas is taken
into the Union. Presumably. his
price was too high"

agreement. Perhaps il would
have been cheaper than a war,
perhaps not. In any event. his
offer was rejected and General
Taylor is leading American
troops into Mexico today. The
two nations are at war-and q
war at this time does not suit
Santa Ana'S plans"
The shaggy eyebrows lifted q
little in a grimace of surprise.
Indeed? But if he is, as you say,

carefully, and Morgan dropped
his hand on the butt of the re-
volver and swung his great head
around to face Clay.
'sWell?"
Clay's hand sought the pocket
of his jacket and hesitated lust
ABOVE 1t, as the gun came up off
the desk and Morgan's finger
ughtened on the trigger.
"Oh. hell" There was disgust
and undisguised contempt in the
harshness of Clay's voice. 'Put

Unhurriedly he pulled out the
forged letter from Santa Ana that
he and Garcia had concocted, and
the second sheet that proclaimed
him unhesitatingly as Santa Ana's
own particular and most conf
dental envoy. Carelessly he
tipped them to the top of the
desk.
His right hand still covering
the gun, Morgan gathered up the
papers with his left. With a dex-
trouSness that was almost un-
canny in such swollen mounds OF
flesh, the fingers tipped the pa
perS open and his eyes ran over
them quickly. He laid them down
and looked at Clay again, his
eyes as unwinking as agate stones,
the heavy face as inscrutable as
an iron mask.
