The

Both men knew what Tom was not saying:
the Governor was being doomed as a possible
Presidential nominee; the entire country had
been outraged by the wanton brutality of Harry
Pierce'S crime.
He looked again at the file BIanton had
brought him, glanced at the pictures, full-face
and profile, showing Harry growing older with
each arrest but changing little through the
years. The face was as he remembered it, mar
row, with sharp chin, long thin nose, a small
thin mouth.
Does he look like that?' he asked, nodding
over his shoulder at the painting behind his desk
BIanton got up to study the old painting of
the faces of good and evil 1t had always been
behind the Governors desk and was something
of curiosity.
Now. looking at the two faces, Blanton
said, The bad one? Can't say that he does.
Still, there might be a resemblance This Pierce
is a really bad one - look at his record - and
now, shooting that poor clerk and his mother
in a $40 holdup He didn't have to kill them.
He doesn't deserve leniency. The state, the
country, the world will be better place with
him out of it,
''AIl right" The Governor closed the file
suddenly I'll let you know in the morning."
I'VE all know your dstaste for capital punish
ment," BIanton said. But sometimes even the
wiseSt of men have to do something that is
diStasteful."
This isn't matter of doing something
find diStaStefuI.' he said This is a question
of basic principles"
''AIl right i it's your job" Blanton said
And I'm glad I'm not in your shoes = with
your conscience. Now, make up your mind
about this and go home and get some rest. I'm
going to-.
The Governor pulled Pierce's letter from his
pocket after Blanton left.
Dear Governor - Your supposed to be
kind. heard you was human being I'm
supposed to be executed next week, and
tell you Governor its bum rap. Id do
anything to show you | mean this. The
Appeals Board has turned me down and
your my last chance. They say your good
jo, so do something for me.
Harry Pierce Cell one #O24-33S."
He stared grimIy at the letter, as though the
penciled scrawI and the cheap lined paper we're
dirty hands pulling at him from the past. Thirty
years hadn't improved Harrys spelling or gram
mar. Harry obviously had no idea who the
Governor was. or the letter would have been
different. Tom had said the world would be
better off without Harry Pierce in it. So would
Governor Charles Woodward Lathrop.
He had been elected as Reform candidate.

capital punishment when they elected him; It

Marilyn Monroe Marries Pulitzer

WHITE PLAINS, NY, u

Friends said the newspaper
woman was born White Russian
princess, daughter of an imperial
Russian admiral, and left Russia
for Paris at the outbreak of the

Miss Sherbatoff was hurled
through the windshield of car

tree while following the couple
down winding country road near
Miller's farmhouse at Roxbury
At the sound of the crash, which
could be heard three-quarters of
a mile, the noted couple stopped
their car and ran to the wreckage.
Miller carried Miss Sherbatoff,
bleeding profusely from severed
neck artery, to the side of the
road, and helped remove Ira
Slade, ID, driver of the car, from
the front seat.
The couple then dashed to Mill

reporters at the house. "a girl has
been terribly hurt. It's awful"
She ran upstairs to change her

Snow Train
Runs on Tires
1OFeet High

A giant croSs-country vehicle
capable of crossing deep snow
fields and other rugged Arctic
terrain on Is Of the worlds
largest tires was announced by
the Army today.
The extremely low pressure,
tubeless tires-four feet wide
and ten feet tall-Will eliminate
reliance on conventional sled
runners ard mechanical treadS.
Known as snow train" the
174-foot long vehicle actually
consists of a control and power
generating car and three cargo
trailers. Each wheel has its own
electric drive traction motor re-
ceiving power from the diesel
driven generators in the power
car.
The power car is 40 feet long,
IA feet wide and Is feet high.
Cargo cars have a pay load of is
tons each on snow. Each snow
train" will cost 100000.
One man operates the train
from an electric console in the
power car. Because Arctic ex-
panseS provide few visible land
marks. a transparent bubble is
built into the roof of the control
car for better observation by day
and for making star fixes" by
night.
There is sleeping space for
four crew members.
Built by r. G. LeTourneau,
Inc, Longview, Tex, the SNOW
train" is of partial aluminium
construction for lightneSs.
After completion of tests
by the transportation research
and development command at
Houghton. Mich, the unit will
be further tested on the Green
