AT FOUR O'CLOCK one
IA Saturday afternoon
in early October, William


Harold Scott, twenty-five years old and
resident of Manhattan for only eight months,
entered small foreign movie theatre in the
East Fifties.
When he came out into the street again two
hours later, he was, in his imagination, no
Edouard Silvaine, toast of the Partisan boule-
wards, cynically handsome man-about-town
who could, with only Gallo murmur and
twist of his cruel mouth, reduce the most frigid
beauty to an emotional pulp in matter of
seconds.
Now, with the haunting background music
of the picture still filing his ears, he lit
cigarette slowly and narrowed his eyes as the
smoke curled around his head. Then he turned
and began walking down the street, the
cigarette dangling from his mouth Hallway
down the block he saw small French restau-
rant He hesitated and then went inside.
Itwas softly Lit, and there was French music
somewhere in the background. 1t was almost
as if the picture were still going on. He sat
down at the far end of the bar and ordered
straight Scotch. When it came, he threw back
his head and downed it in one gulp. Its raw
burn made him cough little, and his eyes
watered But he recovered quickly and, look
ing at himself in the mirror, inhaled deeply on
his cigarette. He had very nice, open face
and clear brown eyes.
turning his head he saw pretty girl sit
ting close by in the restaurant, among few
other early diners She was alone, and at that
moment, she looked up. William smiled the
slow. inscrutable smile of Edouard Silvaine
Then, realizing what he was doing, he blushed
But to his astonishment the girl was smiling
back 1t was smile of invitation.
For moment, William was dazed. Then he
got up slowly and walked over to her. Hello"
he said, pitching his voice very low. How
have you been?"
She was still smiling. Fine, thank you
And you?"
I'm feeling wonderful now" He felt, in
fact, almost intoxicated with his daring.
May sit DOWN."
IF you like"
He sat down. "Will you have drink with
me?"
mo, thank you. I've just finished an early
dinner"
William searched frantically in his mind for
something to say. A line from the film came to
him. He cleared his throat. when turned

she smiled gay promise - well see"
For moment, William had sense of out
rage. Such nice girl to be picking up strange
men! But as they left the restaurant, his
moral focus changed. This was, after all, New
York and not the little Connecticut town
where his parents lived. This was life.
There was no telling where the evening
might lead. Maybe to her apartment At the
thought suddenly the back of his neck became

his horror. he blushed again.
The girl gazed at him, her eyes laughing.
"Why, what nice thing to say"
William felt a surge of courage Il hope

William swallowed. Ifhe told her the truth.
the delicate mood would be shattered. Does
it matter?" he said. He gave light, careless
laugh. Maybe I'm in the rare book business;
maybe I'm with the FBI maybe I'm an inter-
national jewel thief" He looked down at her
with the inscrutable smile
But she was gazing straight ahead. "Ah,"
she said. There they are'

looked very familiar.

Williams tongue seemed to cleave to the
roof of his mouth. ''Why -e hello, Mr..

William found himself walking with the girl
His eyes were bleak, and he was afraid to look
down at her. He knew what she'd do. She'd
burst out laughing.
But when he finally turned his head, he saw
she was smiling - gentle smile, even little

WILLIAM felt glow of warmth starting up

World Trade Without
Massive Aid Urged

Deputy Director William M.
Rand of the Foreign Operations
Administration made a plea to-
day for a free and vigorous
world trade without massive
Government assistance"
Mr.. Rand addressed the Coal
Exporters Association of the
United States, meeting at the
Shoreham Hotel. The session
was a curtain-raiser for the seth
annual convention of the Ma
tional Coal Association, which is
expected to attract about 600
soft coal operators from Is or
more States.
Mr. Rand urged the coal ex-
porters, representing both BIZ
luminous and anthracite opera
tors. to join other groups in sup
porting FOA efforts to expand
international trade.
Citing the fact all American
exporters sell only for dollars,
he said American foreign trade
can continue only if other ma
lions have dollars with which 10
buy. These nations, he said, may
get the dollars either through
gifts or by earning them through
the sale of their products in
the United States.
The United States, he added,
cannot look with favor ION the
continuation for a moment
longer than necessary of expen-
sive Government underwriting
of what should be normal trade
functions"
F. F. Estes, executive director
of the exporters organization,
said a serious threat" exists
to United States coal exports to
Europe from the operations of
the Schuman plan, which set UP
a steel and coal economy for six
European nations. This threat,
he said, lies in the action of the
West German government in i'm
posing restrictions on licensing
iresorts of United States coal.

Pressure Of Fiscal Duties

Involvement of Episcopal bish-

affairs is working to the detri-
ment of the church, according to
the Right Rev. James p. De
Wolfe, Episcopal Bishop of Long
Island.
Bishop De Wolfe, who spoke
yesterday at Washington Cathe-
dral under auspices of the Amer

pressure of worldly concerns can
be blamed for so many break
downs in the epiScopacy."
He said that when bishops
become only administrative Of
flcerS, fund raisers and public

true Christianity of the church"
Bishop De Wolfe also decried
the use of religious journals for
