There were a few years when I didn’t eat. Not human food anyway.” “That sounds,” she said, soberly, ♦Tike a prison camp.” “Cabanatuan.

Not many of you came back.” “I survived," he said, and changed the subject. ■ She ate a large rare steak and potatoes and enjoyed a tall,\calorieptuffed dessert. “I’m indebted to you for a marvelous lunch. Row about going out with nie to a family affair tomorrow night? My sister-in-law is giving a dinner. She’s a wonderful cook. You’ll meet some more people. You do need to meet people, don’t you?” “But I don't know your sister-in-law,” he protested. “That doesn’t matter. She always expects me to V rin K along some man or other.” So she was widowed, or divorced. “It would be delightful, ojt course v—if you’re sure ...” - - “I’m always sure.” She got up, gathering her possessions. “You can come for me at seven if you like.

1 Fighting to preserve the $8.5 'billion foreign aid program, proponents of the bill gave the country a new slant on why they sought approval of the measure without further cuts. Their argument is this: “It is more important to balance the Kremlin's power and win than to 'balance the 1952 budget and lose.” Senators favoring the measure explained that the foreign aid commitment would help raise a three-mil-lion man army in Europe, where\as the saint size army in this country may cost the nation ly 50 billions. It might be better economy to spend 1 the extra money overseas, they argue. \ ' ‘ o- o v ‘ ■■ \ ■ ' V > ‘ ** General Eisenhower knows history and when he speaks he is always able to draw analogy with the present and history.

"Honestly, Sargc, rm sorry said. “I was thinking, I guess. I didn’t even know I’d run that light?’ The officer ripped the ticket from his book and put it into Harrison’s limp fingers. “You ain’t sick, are you?” \ “No, Tm not sick, officer.” Harrison folded the ticket and put it in his wallet. • t “Six dollars," said the policeman. “Mail it to the clerk of Judge Fowler’s court" /•“Would it do to hand it to the judge? He’s having dinner at my house tonight" The officer grinned grudgingly. “Suit yourself. I done my duty.” Harrison Blayde drove on. This was twice that his conscious, responsible mind had blacked out on the job today while worry boiled up, from where he tried to keep it buried, to numb his faculties like a sedative. Snap out of it fellow! he reproved himself savagely. Nothing the matter 'with him, nothing that a little , peace of mind would not cure. He edged into the right-hand lane, turned carefully off the arterial thoroughfare. The street he entered was wide, quiet and treeshaded. /, There was a homelike look about its old houses which filled him with nostalgia for he had been born and raised in one of th.ese humble dwellings. A Now he thought restlessly of the Georgian brick house up there at the top of the next mil, his present abode. The living room furniture alone had cost more than the entire furnishings of his father’s house. More than his father ha£* earned in a year, likely, perhaps in two. And now Eden was continually reminding him of further luxuries for their home. “After all, Harrie, the childreri are growing up. To a girl like Anne lovely things are so important Lovely modern things.” The side door slammed as he' drove in at the drive, and Deke came hurtling down the steps. “Hey, Pop! Mom says move the car around back so the company can park. Lemme move it huh?” “No,” snapped Harrison, “I’ve got troubles enough without paying for more fenders.” Harrison parked the car behind the double garage and went in to the kitchen. mulatto girl in a black and white uniform spooned crab meat into glass cups. “Her name's Imogene,” prompticd Odm* ■ \ ■ '-i ' [ [p Eden Blayde, her pale-green silk i dress covered with a plastic apron, hurried out of the pantry, her face ? ; h ■ J -- J ... . r

Measurements of the heart, weight, leg length and height of the individual are factors in the doctor’s formula. On the basis of his formula the doctor has predicted that a runner at\ Oxford will break the record' for the mile run at Helsinki. Tlie conclusions may have a degree of validity. . Certainly an ekcellent physique is an asset to an athlete or to anyone. But to predict the winner, of a race or a game by using a measuring tape is risky business. It fails to take into consideration several factors which cannot be measured. £ - Every sports fan has thrilled to see a man make good who lacked a. rugged physique but who did have the will and heart to make film try harder. The difference between a champion\and the other contenders is not always in the size of his muscles or the length of his legs.

He entered the big double bedroom at the front of the house. Old plodder Blayde! He dropped his brief case on a chair, then crossed the hall to a closed door and rapped on the panels.’ "Hey!” he shouted. “How about a little speed-up in there? Your mother needs you downstairs on the double." The door opened and a yellow head, shining and fluffy as a buttercup, poked out. His daughter gave him an elfish grin, framed in orange lipstick. The headi belonged to a slim, lovely body and bare brown arms, the whole draped in a tight sheath of russet satin. She kissed him, and her young sweetness made him a little dizzy as her hair brushed his face. “You know, Dad, Ellen Fowler’s in Florida, and of course Mrs. Fowler can’t come. She has to stay on that , ghastly diet and it makes everybody uncomfortable." "Diabetes is no frolic, chicken. Hurry now, your mother’s tired and getting cross." Anne flew down the stairs.

BY KAXNRRT HOHKHECHT INITKD FRESH STAFF COHRKHI’O.XHEXT Tokyo, Aug. 29. —(UP) — Japan’s rapidly expanding population, which has no place to go, and her humming industry, which has lost most of its pre-war trade areas, may create the pressures which will get the Nipponese Into trouble with the world again.

Allied occupation officials have been trying to find solutions for both of these problems for five years without great success. But when Japan becomes a free nation again after the signing of the peace treaty in San Francisco next month, she will have to work out her own solution. (k-cupation and Japanese officials say the problem breaks down: like this: 1. Japan’s population Is presently about 83,000,000 and \is increasing at somewhere . between 11, 700,(100 and 2,240,000 annually. Tills is 25 percent more people than the country can feed. The rest of her food must be imported. 2. To buy food abroad, Japan must get foreign exchange. To get foreign exchange, she must, trade. And much of her pre-war trade area is now behind the Communist “bamboo curtain” In Asia. Not only must Japan trade abroad to buy food, her industry must also import many of its raw materials in order to keep going. i For domestic use alone, Japanese Industry must import two-fifths of her wrood and fibre requirements, nine-tenths of her petroleum needs, one-half her phosphorous, a quarter of her potash. twi>thirds ! of her iron, four-fifths of her lead, all her aluminum, and nearly all 'of the tin, antimony, manganese and other minor industrial needs.

on Japanese natural resources prepared for allied headquarters, took a long look at the future. Japan faces, he said, “some of the mpst serious long-term food and raw. material problems in the world.” ' Japan's population problem, as well as her trade problem, has been i compounded by the loss of-her territories and colonies. More than 6,000,000 Japanese have been repatriated from these former possessions Mnce the end Os the war. One solution to the population problem, spine experts believe, is birth control. But when General Douglas MacArthur initiated birth control\ studies, he ran rinto stiff religious opposition and stopped the experiment.
