Seven billions are nothing to scoff at. even by « nation whose national d> lit Just the other day reached the monumental, all-time record of 9279.496,716,104.

Communists Prepare Third Party Plans Calling Left Wings Recruiting Drive Washington. Feb. 25—tl’Pl— American Communist leaders srr tailing today for n left wing recruiting drive looking to a third I party movement in the 1948 pres- ' id lilial elections. Party Secrets iy William Z. Fox- ! ter has iwxxed the won! that "the - difficult isdltkal and economic | problems in the United States" I provide an opportunity for a re- ' cniltlng drive which will gg tcly increase the number of hla followers. The Communists are looking to labor unions and the farms for their recruit*. They an- d pending on the political action committee machinery act up by the conmesa of industrial organizations to give their third jiwrty ;dans a big boost to- j ward i-eality. The program wax dlscua»<d in detail at a closed meeting of the Communist party which took ul«ee in mld Fcbruaiy in New York City. The plans were revt-aled publicly ja-sterday in "The Worker." the Sunday edition of the Communist neWapager organ which is published la Naw York. The mkmberxhlp campaign objective la stated as: “Building a mass Communist pasty firmly entrenched in the key industries and shops as Lhe indispetiMbk instrument of the working class in defeating the reactionary drive of American imperialism at horn and abroad." The |>rogram means a gradual break with th- Truman administration which inherited the support of Amailcan Communists from the late I’rexldegt llooxevelt. Mr. Rooserclt repudiated American Communists In htx 1940 aud 1944 campaigns. But they remained, neverlhelesa. a, active and In some cases exttv tnely (rowerful factors In the left wing of the new-deal democratic coalition which he commanded As of now lhe Communist dona «tic program is sulwtautially laarallel With Mr. Truman's polities although hr often is bitterIly denounced for failure to go as fur us Foster and 4il<* advisers de■tre. But the Im wk Is wide open :on foreign policy. American ComI munists take their basic party line from Generalissimo Josef V. Stalin who earlier this month laid the blanr for world war II on “mono--1 poly eapitailm." which Is the Russian name for private enterprise. s

CHAPTER SEVENTEEN JENNY CLOSED the door, with Ede on the outside of it. She walked blindly toward the bed and eat down. She waa shaking, her hands were lee-cold. How much was true, how much was false ? She clenched her teeth to keep them from a senseless chattering. She thought, with cold clarity, I can . . . and I will. I can't be hurt because I’m not really In love with Justice Hathaway. ... It makes me a little sick to think of him. But he won't know 'bat; nor Ede. She put her head down on her pillows and began to cry. Butch heard her and came soft-stepping, anxiously, to the bed, sprang up and spoke In her velvet cat voice. And Jonny reached out, clutched her and cried into the soft, silky fur. Butch, a fastidious creature, stirred and pulled herself away. But she did not go back to her basket and her sleeping, captivating kittens. She sat beside Jenny, kneading her paws into Jenny's bare arm, careful not to scratch. After a long time, Jenny rose, and carried Butch to her basket. She took off her new frock, the Full white skirt crushed and rumpled, the blue sash creased, and hung It up. She undressed and went to the bathroom and washed. She held a washcloth to her swollen eyes and tried to steady the catch in her breath. She thought. No matter whet happens . . . There was no one to whom she could talk except Stave. ... Yet Steve had changed. He wasn't as she had known him all those yean. And even if he had been, she could not talk to him; after all, this was something she must keep to henelf, and something she had to do alone. What had Ede said a while age... *7 was on my own." Well, thought Jenny, Tm on my own, too, now, e e e Jenny woke to hot still sunlight. Her first thought was a drowsy dreaming, aa awareness of weU--1 being rattier than a mental process . . . a ooneciousneae that this was Bunday aud that she needn't hurry, that breakfast would be late and leisurely, and that she and Gram and Ede would go to church. Ede. She remembered now, the sunlight darkened and her sense of well-being vanished. She sat up in tod and stretched her round young arms above her disheveled red heal «M heard Gram's voice and thought, auddsaty, how hard tt would bb to hoop things feeanOraea. I . . . Gram was as sensitive as a

barometer and she would be certain to suspect that things were wrong between her granddaughters. Jenny got out of bed. She thought, I’m a coward. She didn't want to see Ede, she dreaded seeing her. Nor did she want to go to the office tomorrow morning and wait for a door to open and for Justice to walk in saying, “Hi, Jenny." Instead, she wanted to lock her door, pull down the shades, go back to bed and sleep and sleep. Butch spoke. She had left her basket and was stretching, relaxed and beautiful, tn the middle of the floor. Butch asked, a little peevishly. “Well, are you going to keep us cooped up here all day?" Jenny opened the door and let her go out, walking in pride and dignity toward her breakfast A little later Jenny, with somewhat leas pride and dignity, went downstairs. She wore a Muo Jumper dress with a thin white blouse and she looked about Id. She went into the dining room, her hands cold and her heart braced. But Ede, sitting cosily with Gram at the table, raised a Usy eyebrow and smiled at her. She said, "We thought you were dead to the world.” So it was to be tike that, on the surface, as If nothing had happened or could happen. Jenny said, "Sorry —X couldn't seem to wake up." Ede looked as if she had alept for 12 hours. She wore one of her honeymoon housecoats, cool aguomarine in color. Her hair was brushed and shining and she had powdered her face and rouged her pretty mouth. Gram, in thin gray cotton, was refilling her coffee cup. "Jenny, Ede's ty>en telling me about the Morrison boy and young Harris. It’s disgraceful,” said Gram, and put the pot down with a slight thump, "and someone ought to do something about IL” "I imagine that the Harrises have,” said Jenny, "and aa for Yip —well, if he doesn't get a good go-ing-over from Mr, Richards tomorrow, I'll miso my guess." Gram add, "Ede suggested that the boys took liquor from their homes. 1 doubt that very much. Someone is selling it to them.” Her eyes snapped. "I wish Bert Barton was well enough to taka a hand la this. He'd find out and put a stop to it” She picked up the silver pot again and poured Jenny’s coffee. She said, "We told mo stout Stove." Jenny ate her home-canned peaches. They were ica«»d and fest sweet enough. Gram, a watchtul eye on the watte iron, ashed,
