Il Short Story
By HUGH McNAIR KAHLER

THE HOLSTERED GUN against Jop-
Inns hip offered him a simple, easy
way of winding up his partnership with
Murray, but Joplin couldn't persuade
himself to use it. He knew himself too
WELL knew that his wrist would shake
and his finger finch on the trigger.
Even if he managed to go through with
it Murray might live long enough, with
bullet in his back, to turn and draw
and shoot.
Or there might be somebody else out
here in the seemingly empty desert,
somebody who would turn up just in
time to ask questions that even Jop-
Inns glibness couldn't answer. Joplin
could feel an imaginary rope tighten
on his throat at the thought. With
moose waiting at the losers end one
chance in a million, in hundred mil
lion, was one chance too many. He de-
cided finally against the gun.
He didn't let go of his resolve, though,
to be rid of Murray. He couldn't give
up that idea This strike of theirs was
big, so big that it mustn't belong to
anybody but Rick Joplin. He couldn't
bear the thought of having only half
of it, of letting the other half be thrown
away on desert rat like Murray,
man with no more use for money than
a burro, with no better notion than a
burro's about what to do with it.
Helping Murray lift sacked ore to
the bed of their truck was hard work
for Joplin's spindling body, but he
worked his wits harder still. There
{. must be a right way to kill man, a
way that didn't need courage or
strength or steady nerves, a sure way,
and safe. Safe. -.
Joplin almost laughed as the idea
flashed into his mind. There was some
thing comical about the absurd ease
and simpleness and sureneSS of it,
about its beautiful, perfect safeness.
1t was so safe that he could face the
knowledge that he was going to use il
without feeling even little scared.
HE DIDN'T make the mistake
though, of taking safety or certainty
for granted. Step by patient, ploddinG
step he acted out the scheme in hi
mind, testing every inch of it fol
hidden flaw or danger. He could find M
smallest danger in it, but there were
a few dim possibilities of failure
Against one of these he saw how Il
take immediate action, the crafty, in
direct kind of action that he liked.
Another four days of eating alkal
and getting the teeth jolted out of me,
he grumbled, using the whining Ike!
that he knew always annoyed Murra,
most. "Ain't it about time you mad
one of these trips yourself, Murray
Don't ever get my turn at layin
around here, taking things easy, Will
you do a little of the dirty work, 70
changer"
Murray only grunted, but it was an
swer enough for Joplin. Maybe Their
hadn't been much chance of Murray
Montana farmer-stockman., 1954-12-01

taking it into his head to drive this 1
load of ore to town, but it was better
to make sure that he wouldn't. And
Joplin was sure, now. He'd worked
the trick before. Pigheaded, Murray
was, and you could always head pig
head north by giving him the notion
you were trying to drive him south.
Even if Murray had been keen on max
ing this trip he'd give up the idea,
sooner than let it seem that he was
giving in to Joplin, taking orders from
him.
THE DEVICE GAVE Joplin a pleas
ant feeling of foresight and cleverness.
He kept on grumbling, to make still
surer of Murray's staying, but in
wardly he wanted to laugh. He was in
such good humor that for once it didn't
irritate him when Murray, after the
last sack of ore was loaded, set about
slow, painStaking inspection of the
truck and cargo.
Always before this precaution of his
had annoyed Joplin; it was as if Muir
ray had said in words that he didn't
think Joplin could be trusted to have
motor and tires in order, to carry ex-
ira cans of oil and gas and water, even
with his life depending on these things.
Today it only whetted a finer edge on
Joplin's secret mirth. In a little while
Murray would find out just how care
less Rick Joplin really was, just how
dumb and short of sight!
''The pump amt in the toolbox, {"
Murray said. His voice always sounded
rusty, as if it didn't get enough use
to keep it in shape. Unjust have forgot
to put it back when you got through
blowing up them tires last night"
''I'n go get it." Joplin managed to
look and sound sulky, but more than
ever he wanted to laugh If he hadn't
forgotten that pump, if Murray's fussi-
ness hadn't found out about it, he'd
have had to think up an excuse for
going back to camp. His luck must be
in, he thought; even his mistakes were
working for him. He didn't run until
he turned the angle of the hills foot
that hid him from Murray. Another
lucky break, that pigheaded notion Of
Murray's to locate the camp in the
narrow box canyon on the far side o.
the hill, out of sight of the mine. Joplin
had grlImbled about that, never guess
ing how well it was going to suit him

He'd always supposed that if he eve
killed man he'd be afraid, afterward
, and sorry, maybe. But he WASH

Republicans Split on Labor
Goldwuter Amendment Again Exhibits G. O. P. Penchont
For Intro-Porty Fiqhtinq-ond Elections Grow Near
Doris Fleeson

With a measure Of leader
ship support, a junior Republi-
can Senator from a predom-
inantly rural State of 100000
population Is attempting to
write a far-reaching change
into the Taft-Hartley Act
which President Eisenhower
did not ask for and the Eisen-
hover Secretary Of Labor
strongly opposes.
The Senator is Barry Gold
water of Arizona. He seems
not exactly sure how far the
States would be permitted to
go under his States rights
amendment to the original
Eisenhower labor proposals.
He frankly agrees they will get
great powers now denied them
under the Federal statute.
Labor has far too often cried
"Wolf, wolf" in legislation af-
fecting its interests. It is clear,
however, that the sweeping
Goldwater amendment would
make vulnerable in the 48
States the all-American pat
tern of wages, hours and fair
labor standards which the New
Deal wrote into Federal law.
Thus the States might well
find themselves in a race to
attract new industries by en-

Judge Laws Orders
Staples Exfradited
In Plot Indictment

Chief Judge Bolitha J. Laws
yesterday ordered the extradi-
ton of John Staples to st. Marys
County. Md, where he is under
indictment on charges Of con-
spring to violate laws pertaining
to gambling, bawdy houses and
obstruction of justice.
Judge Laws acted after re-
jecting arguments by Defense
Attorneys Harry Ahearu and
John B. Diamond that there was
no definite evidence that Staples
was in the Maryland county at
the time Of the alleged crimes.
Prosecutors Edward Fennell
and Albert Stevas called to the
witness stand Leonard Harrel-
son, a private detective, who tes-
titled he talked over the tele-
phone to Staples last October 81
by calling a Maryland number.
Staples had been indicted
along with Abe Weiner, a county
businessman and slot machine
distributor, and the latter's
cousin, Joseph Weiner, Leon
ardtown attorney.
The charges stemmed from an
investigation by Radio Commen-
tator Fulton Lewis, jr., who was
aided by Mr.. Harrelson and
Lloyd B. Furr. an associate of
Mr.. Harrelson's. A number of
libel suits are pending as a re-
suit of Mr.. Lewis broadcasts.

tions and one which labor will
consider contradicts his cam.
paign promises.
The House may save him, in
fact members Of the House
Labor Committee are claiming
the votes to bottle up the bill.
But a Senate victory would
lend impetus to a drive for its
enactment in the lower cham
ber and the pressures which
are getting results in the Sem
ate would certainly be re.
newed and multiplied.
The professional politicians
of the Capitol are beginning
to marvel at the Republican
taste for controversy within
their ranks. This is not the
first legislative picture that
shows the Republicans divid-
ing and going either far be-
yond or in direct opposition
to their President. And the
midterm elections are only
seven months away.
1t is considered that the
President would have been
better of to have ducked the
whole labor controversy this
year, as it was easily possible
for him to do. No matter how
it turns out now, labor has
been alerted to what it con-
siders one of the greatest perils
it could possibly face.

which Republicans used with
sound basis against the Demo-
Gratis in the 1852 campaign.
So far as Republicans now
are concerned, the schism
charge is applicable to issues
still unresolved: Farm. foreign
trade, and labor legislation.
Democrats quickly discovered
how worried are the President
and his White House ad-
visers about the glacierlike
progress of the legislative pro-
gram on which he lays so much
store. Former President Tru-
man could recall the word for
this dilemma that he once used
about the Republican Both
Congress-"Do nothing Con-
gress"-which might be con-
sidered pardonable political
hyperbole.
Democrats believe that one
of their most effective issues
for the November congress
sional elections centers around
the power, reclamation and
conservation policies sponsored
by the administration under
Secretary of Interior Mckay
which. it was charged repeat
edly, are in disregard of the
overall public interest and de-
signed for the profit Of private
interests. Democrats reported
that the voters, especially in
the West and South. are far
more disturbed about this
trend than the administration
yet seems to realize.
And former President Tru-
man found, so far as great
public power and reclamation
projects are concerned, that
the prophecy he made at Hun
CRY Horse Dam in Montana on
his 1852 October cross-country
campaign trip still is good.
Then he said to his audience:

was really an important step
on his part toward a REIN
vigoration of the broad Amer
ican program from the vantage
point of Washington rather
than Geneva. There are better
opportunities in Washington
than there are here for consul
tation between the various ma
tions concerned on a specific
project like the Southeastern
Asia alliance, especially the
military aspects.
Americas policy has for its
object the building up of a
deterrent factor which is de-
signed to bring peace rather
than war to Southeast Asia.
But it requires a firm hand and
a resoluteness of spirit. to
which political leaders on both
sides Of the aisle in Congress
can contribute a great deal by
studying the basic principles
involved rather than going off
half-cocked with criticism of
the piecemeal details. These
mistakenly portray the ad-
ministration as being eager to
get into the Indo-China war
but being prevented either by
a British cabinet rejection of
such proposals or by the luke
warm attitude of American
public opinion.
The truth is Secretary Dulles
is working on a plan for
the Southeast Asian problem
which. viewed in either it's
long-range or short-range as
poets, can become a historic
move in the world toward as
suring peace for a large area
of the earth's surface. Amer
ican public opinion, of course.
is not ready for such concrete
proposals as the submission

tion empowering the President
to use our armed forces to
maintain peace in Southeast
