Agnes de Mile writing in the
ATLANTIC MONTHLY says:
Men have always been able to
experience family and work to-
gether. It has been assumed that
because of the greater emotional
demands made on women, they
could not have both, and they
have hitherto been constrained
to choose -. The fact that for
millenniums all such desires have
been arbitrarily suppressed in
women proves nothing but the
brutality of convention -. The
boys in Athens started a whis-
pering campaign of personal de-
famation which reinforced q
growing legend that any woman
who dedicated herself to art must
be freak, that artistic creativity
was compensation for lack Of
creativity in more natural and
suitable functions. This myth
was not based on fact, or on any
larger understanding of women's
capacities or happiness, but di-
rectly on mems convenience.
Women have at last, to their
terrible cost, come to accept this
view. It suited their men. And
they UNDERSTANDABLE wanted to
suit their men -. For over a
thousand years woman's chief
creative expression was restrict-
ed to the statements of saints

Sixthly, this would be great

all wise nations have either en-

bent upon my own opinion, as to

maturely to consider two points.
First, as things now stand, how
they will be able to find food and

useless mouths and backs. And
secondly, there being around five
million of these creatures in hui

Southland, whose whole subsis-

millions of dollars, adding those
who are beggars by profession to
the bulk of farmers, cottagers and

prospect Of entailing the like, or
greater miseries upon their breed

long walk = three days at least - and the
supply truck was not due for week.
1t was getting late when he knocked the
cold ashes from his pipe and went inside, but
the plan was made and his mind made up.
He tapped on the boy bedroom door and
peered in. ''I'm going for walk, Jennie, .
he said. won't be long, honey"
He normally took walk evenings around
the village.
After closing the door behind him, he
went quickly to his desk, carefully selected
two sharp, clean darts and then picked up
his hat and blowpipe. There was no poison
he would never shoot poisoned darts.
The night was humid and still, broken
only by faint drone from the forest and an
occasional cry. He moved swiftly and ST.
lently down the trail, until he was near
enough to Bertrand's camp to hear voices;
then he left the trail and slid into the dense
bush He circled cautiously, silently, as the
Indians had taught him, and within min
utes he was pushing aside the foliage and
staring at the two white men lOunging in
canvas chairs near a campfire, drinking.
They were about thirty feet away, arguing
6ercely. The Indian porters lay some dis
lance away under blankets.
''OLord, forgive me, y Schuyler breathed,
fitting dart and aigning his blowpipe.
He aimed carefully at the soft fat of
Bertrand's massive thigh, and blew.
THE night was shattered by scream from
L Bertrand, squirming in his chair. Martin
dropped the bottle with crash, grabbed his
rife and began to circle nervously with the
weapon raised. The porters leaPed from
their blankets and went into a terrified
huddle

pIucked the dart from his thigh and seemed
to be on point of collapse. I'm going to die, y

he walled pitifully. Martin. Help me"
Schuyler watched, Mortified, mortified,
mumbling prayer.
Then Martins voice rang clearly in the
night. ''You can die, Bertrand, for all |
care. I'm getting out of here.
Bertrand began to plead, Pitifully.
CcHUYLER could stand it no longer, and
- fed back through the bush, painting. He
was sick and ashamed of what he had done,
even though Bertrand had suffered only
fright and painful wound. By the time he
reached the trail again, nearer the bungalow,
he knew he could not go through with it.
Composing himself, and leaving the blow
pipe beside tree, he hurried down toward
the camp.
Ell heard commotion," he cried, burst
ing in on them.
Bertrand was subdued, moaning family
as he clutched his thigh. Martin was calm,
cynical, and holding piece of paper in his
hand. Behind him, the porters were hack
ing at the bush with machetes.
HE got a poisoned dart in him, DIR.

est trace of approval in his voice. Were
getting out at once. I'm taking him to Dom
Joao on litter, pronto." He waved the
piece of paper triumphantly. ''And it's cost

Schuyler could not speak, choking on his
emotions.
Bertrand groaned again, gesturing i'm
patiently, helpless in his chair.
WED better get going" Martin said.
''The Injuns might be back. You did say
about three days, didn't you, DR.. Schuyler.
For the poison to work?''
Schuyler nodded dumbly.

haps nervous twitch of the eye, but DIR.

Beck, Ga, stood calm and
quiet. one hand clenched be-
hind his back and the other in
a trouser pocket, as the judge
began his announcement.
He refused two invitations to
address the court. But later
he told reporters II am not the
first innocent person to be SEN
fenced nor will I be the
last :"
He said he had authorized his
attorneys to push the appeal,
filed last week.
Judge Boldt said Beck's rise
from a laundry truck driver to
millionaire labor leader was a
better I'ags-to-riches story than
any of Horatio Ayers plots.
But he said Beck must take
first place among the more
than so tax evaders I have
sentenced"
''Mr. Beck plundered his
union, his intimate associates
and in some instances his
personal friends, most of whom
quite readily would have given
him anything he asked" the
Judge said.
Other excerpts from the pre-
sentence speech:
MIR. Beck's willful evasion of
taxes and his stealthy and Cir
cuitous appropriation to his
own use of funds were in
large amounts and continued
over a period of years.
Actually, the evidence of
the incidents of fraud involving
relatively small amounts show
the avarice and culpability of
Mr.. Beck with striking en-
phasiS.
Mr.. Beck cheated every last
humble American who pays in
come taxes by attempting to
Ievade his personal taxes and
thus cast his share of the tax
burden on his fellow citi-

MIAMI BEACH, Fla, Feb. %
(AP)-The Transfers Union
board of directors has given
union president James Hoffa
authority to call a strike
against Sears Roebuck and Co.
The union is trying to organ
ize Sears mail order, warehouse
and truck driver employees
across the country.
There was no elaboration
from the union on how a strike
should be conducted. However,
in union organizational cam
paignS a call for a strike of a
non-organized company or
plant ordinarily means a pick
citing of the company's organi-
cations.
Under such a strike" the
union seeking to organize the
workers establishes picket lines
in efforts to persuade employees
to enroll in the union and Gus
toners to refrain from con-
Quoting business with the
struck company.
Ordinarily there is no re-
quirement that any company
workers who have signed up
with the union cave their jobs.
On the contrary, in many in
stances those already enrolled
remain on their jobs and con-
tinue to advocate union enroll
ment Oh fellow workers.
Mr.. Hoffa, after the closing
session of the executive boards
annual winter meeting, an
nounced yesterday he is ne
gotiating to add some 10000
oil refinery workers to. his
union.
He said the door is open to
any other independent group
to come under the Transfers
baner, adding that he will re-
main in Miami Beach until
Monday when he will confer
with Representatives of some
10000 oil refinery workers from
