Court for the District of Co.
lumbia, that croSs-examination
will require "some time" to COM
plete.
Key Witness.
The waitress is considered a
key witness in the Govern
ment'S case, since the way in
which the indictments are drawn
requires proof that the four
came here together and acted
together.
The four are charged with as
sault with intent to kill and
assault with a dangerous weapon.
Each faces a maximum prison
sentence of 1875 years if they are
convicted.
The most emphatic and def
mite witness yesterday was Rep
resentative Graham, Republican,
of Pennsylvania, formerly a
State trooper and once prosecut-
ing attorney in his home county.
He pointed to each defendant |
and called each by name as he
testified vividly about the events

heard what I did, my military
instinct took over, and I headed
for the scene of action" he said.
Mr.. Van Zandt is a captain in
the Naval reserve.
Representative Jensen, Repub-
lican, of Iowa, one Of the
wounded, told the jury of seven
men and five women:
my first thought was that |
some one who had a grievance
with me had shot me. I have
been pretty outspoken about peo-
pie who are trying to destroy
our way of life. The first thought
that came to my mind was that
some one had shot me from be-
hind. And said, HE got me- !"
Representative Davis, Demo-

AS soon as they rounded the cliff
the majesty of the great falls burst
on them, the dazzling curtain of
water and the deep roar. She saw
how dazed and scared Sandy's
eyes were and she searched for
something to say, to shout above
the roar to distract him. If he
wasn't quickly distracted, what he
had witnessed in the past few min
utes was going to leave a deep
wound in his young subconscious.
And then she looked down and
there was the answer. Look.

IDLY large and splendid.
The deep flush that always
colored Sandy's cheeks in moments
of profound emotion spread be-
meath his radiant blue eyes. 1t was
one of the great moments of his
five years of life. He struggled
down from her arms and rever-
emily, like pilgrim at a shrine, he
bent over the first footprint, en-
tirely happy.
ANN, too, was learning more
about happiness. When Gray came
and Gray's arm went round her
she discovered a new certainty,
new strength for her convictions.
She recalled how. three minutes
earlier, she and Gray had worked
together in perfect partnership to
fight a way out of their danger.
Instinctively. Like a perfectly
trained team. And the experience
had given them something.
The soldiers who fought the ter
rorists in the jungle never knew
theirreal worth, never proved their
quality, until their baptism Of fire
on the jungle battlefield. Mar
riage, Ann knew Yor certain now,
was much the same. Real danger
tested and proved it; any kind of
danger. And she and Gray, in
action on the battlefield, had
proved themselves worthy of their
happiness.
The three of them together
again, gazed down at the tigers
footprints. The End

had time to fire but not time to

throwing her arms wildly round
his neck.
She clung desperately, her face

oblique eyes of the terrorist. the

the revolution was in agriculture,

The Congress amended the
Social Security Laws during 1854
to bring self-employed farmers
under the Old-Age and Survivors
Insurance program effective jan
uary 1855.
In its practical effect, this
change will protect farmers from
loss Of earnings through old age
by making monthly benefits pay
able to those who qualify.
Beginning with the taxable
year 1855, self employed farmers
who earn $500 or more net from
farming operations will pay a
three percent tax on each years
income. This tax is compulsory
not voluntary. if net earnings are
$500 or more. If a farmers true
net is less than $500 he may
however elect to pay on one-half
of the gross income if the gross
is between $500 and $500
Benefits can only become pay
able to a farmer who is age IS or
beyond and who is insured Be

being. that the farmer has paid his
