Il Short Story
By REBECCA M. OSBORN

DILL and Steve stretched out on
~ the damp Korean hillside and
watched the tank sergeant as he
turned the metal key around the
sides of a can of meat ration. A
Jet of steam shot out, just visible in
the growing dusk.
"Cornbeef hash," the sergeant said
in disgust. 'I'm sick of this en-
balmed meat"
The other two grunted. When
you'd eaten canned meat and
powdered eggs, three times day
for nine days, the most intense
hunger couldn't make it really APP
petiZing.
Look, you guys" Bill said, sud-
denly. ''I'm going scouting"
The other two looked at him
questioningly.
watch your STEP"
BILL JUMPED to his feet, dig
cling with his hand into the side
pocket of his shirt. He held up
three pieces of hard candy wrapped
in cellophane.
''Rations ought to be good for
something"
The thick mud of the road, chopped
up like hamburger by the tanks,
stuck to Bills boots and splattered
heavily on his leggings. If anyone
had told him that afternoon he'd be
walking back over that road, he'd
have said they were crazy. He
walked on quickly, past shattered
walls and burnt-out buildings. Out
side a small hut he saw a child
sitting.
He went up to the boy and ini-
tated with his hands the fluttering
wings of chicken, initiated cackle
then crowed, just to make sure.
The boy smiled. Bill held out the
candies. The boy got up and ran
and was back short time later
with small hen under one arm.
OUT ON THE road again Bill
held the little hen in front of him
She was different from the chickens
his father raised back home on their
farm in Maryland.
'Baby," Bill said, as her tiny eyes
darted out at him. you're going
to make bunch of G. rs very
happy"
He ran his fingers up under he,
bill. She pecked hard at him.
''Why, you sassy little female!
he laughed. He held her up to tn,
level of his eyes.
She drew her head back into tn
feathers of her neck and pecked a
him again, this time catching hin
squarely on the end of the nose.
Soothing the singing sensation
on his nose, Bill gazed accusingl
i into the bright, beady eyes. TIL

thrust, but he held her away from
him.
ooh, no, you don't" he laughed.
All at once he began to feel sorry
for the spirited little hen.
Look, honey, don't want to do
it, but mans got to eat"
HE TUCKED her under his arm.
He liked the feel of her soft, fat
little body. 1t had been long time
since he had held living thing,
animal or child or wife, close to him.
Steve and the Sergeant jumped
up as Bill stepped up into the glow
of the fire and squatted with the
little brown hen at his feet. She
cackled angrily and the men
laughed.
''She's a real fighter" Bill said.
The gray eyes blazed out at him as
he spoke.
The men ruffled her breast feath-
ers, laughing as she struck out to
peck them.

THE SERGEANT muttered some
thing about being chicken and
walked out into the darkness be-
yond the fire, his knife in one hand
and the hen in the other. When
he was gone Bill and Steve walked
silently around the small fire, look
ing down at their feet.
The scuffle of the Sergeant's boots
told them he was returning. He
was walking slowly.
When he stepped into the circle
around the fire, the little brown
hen was sitting cozily in the crook
of his arm.
'How do you expect a guy to kill

her.

'Berio' Hunt Secret Leaks Out
And Spanish Police Move In
A Plan Is Made to Make Contact
With Three Very Mysterious Fugitives

tions Gallo said he had received
from the fugitives:
Deal only with the FBI; they
wanted to keep the money they
would bring with them; they
wanted complete secrecy: and
custody incognito until they were
either given asylum or returned
in secret to another hiding place.
They wanted to keep their two
valises of documents if they were
refused asylum.
I told him what the fugitives
promised in return for asylum:
Information lists that would
practically break the back of the
Soviet underground in the United
States; data on Soviet agents in
the State Department and Gen.
trail Intelligence Agency; bank
receipts for $25 million Russia
paid to keep Spain out of the

ried signed by Senator Mccarthy
and explained that my job was
nothing more than to meet the
men, tentatively identify them
and deliver the papers, to prove
had brought them word of SEN
ator Mccarthy. I told him about
Gallo's telephone call to San
Diego September Is, in which he
said he had talked to the man
and was certain it was Beria.
The general rose. II assure
you the Spanish police will use
every facility necessary to deliver
these men to Senator Mccarthy
and the United States" he told
me through the interpreter.
To Get Protective Custody.
Within "a hours the ministers
handed down their decision on
the Spaniard supposed to be with
the fugitiveS. He was to be de-
clared Russian citizen and per-
soma non grata. The fugitives
were to have protective custody
until they were delivered to the
United States.
Late that night we held a con-
ference in the generals office to
discuss plan. Basically the plan
was simple:
Gallo would go to Malaga as
though nothing had happened.
He would drive his own car, a
1853 Cadillac convertible, and
attempt to signal the fugitives
as previously arranged. The
police would stay i'll the back
ground. When Gallo made con-
tact, was to go alone to deliver
the papers TO the fugitiveS as
planned. Then I would arrange
for them to meet Reeuengo, who
would offer them Spanish protec-
ton.
Early the next morning we
were preparing to leave in the
courtyard of headquarters. We
had three cars with II of
Reguengo's best agents. Gallos

We would be a couple of miles
apart on the highway.
