By HERMAN N. BUNDESSN, M.O. MANY people must be on a •tfict low salt diet to compensate for either a heart Or kidney disturbance. Also, many who suffer from severe high blood pressure are placed on a diet that is low in salt. There are many specially prepared salt-free foods for those who are oh special diets, but fresh whole milk h*s been milling from the list. Milk in Spacial Diets Ordinary milk is not advised for such people, since it Contains a high amount of sddiiim, the constituent of Hit, Ml excess of which to detrimental th their health. However, the other food values of milk are important to proper nutrition. Therefore, niank heart Sutterers, up to a shdrt time ago, depended on poMfeNd Milk products frotn which the salt was removed. They had to add Water to these powdered products in order to drink them.

The returning prisoners were in sad condition, many of them emaciated and suffering from neglected wounds. They told of a “death march” front Dien Bien Phu to Vietminh prison camps, the real nature of Com-—-HJ l —lhmWMSMili ly • ® munism can'be observed in the treatment accorded to these unfortunate prisoners. The suffering fit the men who survived and the unmarked graves of those who died are testimony to the vlclousness of these latter day barbarians who seek ip enslave mankind. 0 o President Syngman Rhee, the gallant old fighter for unification and freedom of Korea, will visit President Eisenhower next week. Rhee wants to run the Communists out of Korea and eliminate the 38th parallel division of his country. He will be cordially treated in the United States and the President will show him every consideration, except agreement on furnishing troops to carry on f the war. The Reds may march against Rhee's forces and if that fatal step is made, then the Korean problem will probably be reconsidered. However, this country has no dppWite to engage in an all-out war tn Korea and the - » destiny of the centuries-old country remains uncertain. . o 0 —- Irving Berlin came out of the east side of New York City to fame and wealth as a songwriter. He has never forgotten his hum- ’ ble background nor has he ceased • to be grateful to America for giving him the opportunity to develop and use bis talents. President Eisenhower acknowledged Berlin’s contributions to America by signing a bill which calls for thg songwriter to receive a gold med•L' Os all the songs Berlin has written the one most likely to , survive is God Bless America, a simple but fervent musical prayer. His Easter Parade is a popular repeater. All the royalties from this song are paid to the Boy Scouts of America just as all the proceeds of the musical review "This is the Army ”, produced in 1942, were paid the army emergency relief fund. Berlin well deserves tbe honor paid him.

i By a new process, however, 9C ■ per cent of the salt that is conr tained in milk can no* be re- • moved without otherwise altering it. None of the other food i values are destroyed, Besides being low in salt, the milk is fresh. This new process > makes rtllk far more drinkable j than the powdered substitutes. This new type of milk, to which the American Heart Association has called attention, Is now found only In certain parts of the country, but it to expected to i be available to heart sufferers on , a national basis within a snbft period o!

CHAPTER THIRTY-THREE IT WAS April and Todd's schoM was Starting it’s Easter vacation. On Friday, the last day of classesr he came home with his new contract for the following year. "That cooks it,’’ he said, tossing the document into Joan's lap. •'Cooks what?" “My future there." She glanced down at the contract without picking it up. They were alone in the living room of the Foster nouse. Gram was upstairs and Mrs. Foster was getting dinner ready In the kitchen. "Didn't they offer you a raise, Todd?” “Not enough." At tun grim tone, she looked up at him. He stood by the fireplace, his brows knit th a frustrated anger, but in his eyes there was a strange contradictory light burning that she did not understand. "How much?" "Two hundred bucks." “That means twenty-five hundred dollars, then, doesn’t It?" "Yes." “With what I earn from my royalties and the Antique, Shoppe,” she began slowly, "we could count on a few hundred more. Maybe," she added. . ’That’s it. Maybe. If Mrs. Cochran wants you again next year. If nothing interferes with your writing, such an one of us being sick. If you don't have to have a baby to take up all your tiftie. Too many ifs.” He broke off, jammed his hands deeper into his pockets and said Shortly, "No, I’m through.’’ “With teaching? Or just teaching there?” “With teaching. The salary wouldn't be much better anywhere 1 went.” There was a little silence during which Joan's brown eyes stayed fixed in silent questioning on his face. Meeting them, he came over to the couch and dropped beside her. "Listen, Jo. Have I had any money or any extra time to go to Columbia this past year for further Work on my PhJX?” She shook her head. "Have we enough money saved up so I can take a year off to finish it?” She shook her head again. "Will 1 be able to save enough Out Os twenty-five hundred dollars nekt year to do it? You know I won’t,” he went on, answering for her. He got up again and began walking around the room. "It's a dead end,” he finished. “Financially speaking, anyway. And I have to think of that.* She nodded la thoughtful agreement. TPk a dead end," ho repeated. “I've known it from the start.” He was back at the mantelpiece again, lighting a cigartt. “But it Was the

The first term getting. the kids to like me, then getting them to mind me, then getting something into their heads— I’m telling you, it was fierce. And the second term hasn’t been much better. If this year had helped me get any nearer to teaching in a college—” "But it hasn’t You don’t need to justify yourself to me, Todd." "Doesn't it b.otber you?" he, asked. ”1 thought—chucking the job would upset you.” “It would upset me much more if you kept it and didn’t want it or like it I’ve said that all along, yoti know.* “I know. And it’s what has helped me make up my mind.” He gave a great sigh then, as if he had dropped a heavy load. - "You won t try to find another teaching position that might pay, better?” “No, there wouldn't be any. I 1 tell you I’m through. We can’t raise a family on twenty-five hundred dollars." “No, we can’t.” "And that’s what we want to do, isnt its” - “Yes, Todd. Year “We couldn't even live here. On the third floor, 1 mean. Not on that salary. Joan drew herself back Into a comer of the couch, her head on her arm as she looked up at him with narrowed gaze. "All this elaborate preamble, white’s it leading V' she asked. "What’s on your mind?” He flashed her a sudden smile, bls eyes holding again that odd bright light. “You’re pretty smart." "I’ve been watching for weeks. You’ve been cooking up something. You saw this coming, so you’ve been making plana Well, give, darling! What are they?" "Prepare yourself for a jaunt through this Eastdt holiday, hdney" he said, grinning his lopsided grin. She sift up. "Todd! Really? Where toT" “South." “South ? But where ?" “How would you liks to visit Pam and Tom in Washington?” "Oh, I’d love it!” Into het face sprang a sudden gleam of comprehension. "Todd, are you—" He nodded. “I’m gunning for the same kind of Job Tom has." Just at this moment Mrs. Foster appeared in the doorway. "Hello, Todd. 1 thought 1 heard you come in. Dinner's ready, Joan. Call Gram, will you, dear?" "I'll call her, Mom," Todd said. “1 have to go up and wash, anyway." He rose as Mrs. Foster dis-

appeared into the kitchen again. "I'll tell you about it later, 5 he finished to Joan, in a low tone. "You first—then, if you approve, the families." She nodded. Todd Went upstairs two steps at a time, and Joan moved out to the kitchen to help her mother get the meal onto the table. Long ago Betty Earle had said to her, "Todd won't get stuck. And he won't wither on his Job, either. If he doesn't like it, he’ll find another." She had said something like that. And bow right she had been. Joan need not have felt anxious. There was ground under her feet Os, putting it another way, there was a rudder under their ship and Todd’s hand ,wv firmly on the helm. So it would always be, she thought Mrs. Foster was to go out that evening,io a meeting of the library board and Gram went upstairs after dinner to listen to her favorite radio program in her own room, so Joan and Todd were left alone in the library once more. With the dishes done, Joan seized Todd's hand and rushed him back to the couch, where she curled up as she had earlier. “Now go on," she commanded, "before 1 die of curiosity." Todd settled down on a chair opposite her. ‘‘Well,’' he said, "ever since we had dinner with Tom and Pam tn New York last fall, rve b—n thinking about what ha said t*ad night. It was a little hot coal ut comfort to carry around in Ay chilled heart all through the eany part of the fall when things were so tough at first. 1 kept thuuung about it and thinking about tv—especially Tom’s 'adequate salary.’ But it was my bout with my appendix and your selling the chair and then having to borrow money ahead on your unwritten book that made me decide to do something. I Just wasn’t going to go on any longer not having—and not earning—enough money." ’ Why didn't you tell me?" "Well, honey, 1 didn’t want to get you all excited about something that might never amout to anything. I thought I’d find cut first what chance I had and tnen if it looked good—" "But how did you keep It so secret from me?” "I wrote from school. And I asked Tom to write me there." “Ohl 1 didiit know you could be such a base plotter." “1 know, 1 felt like a heel sometimes. 1 wanted to tell you But—-weil-M don’t know, tt Just seemed better not to—not to talk too much, 1 mean, because down there, Tom says, nobody seems to want knybody to know what anyone else is doing."

Ex-Senator Moody Is Taken By.Dealh • , • Blair Moody Di.s Tuesday In Hospital ANN ARBOR, Mich. (INS) — Former Democratic senator Blair Moody of Michigan died at the age of 53 in the University of Michigan hospital at Ann Arbor Tuesday. Dr. Cyme Sturgis said an “Involvement of the lungs 1 * caused Mbofiy’s death. Moody had been recuperating at the hospital after being stricken with virus pheumonia June 24 while campaigning in Michigan’s upper peninsula for the senatorial nomination which would have pitted' him against Republican Sen. Homer Ferguson. Moody, a veteran of 18 years as Washington correspondent for the Detroit News, entered politics in 1951 when Gov. G. Mennen Williams apoplnted him to the senate to fill the unetpired term of the late Republican Sen. Arthur Vandenburg. The former newsman served out the term and then was defeated for re-election by Republican Rep. Charles Potter who gained a plurality of 47,000 Votes in the GOP landslide that swept President Eisenhower into office. After leaving Washington. Mopdy formed a syndicate which leased one of the largest rotary printing press plants in Michigan. He hoped ultimately to establish * new dally newspaper in Detroit. During his term of office, Moody was known as a member of the senate's so-called liberal bloc.

CHAPTER THIRTY-FOUR , JOAN was not really put out by Todd’B decision to Change Jobs, only ftUprUW. •Tom told me Just what to do,” Todd Went on, “just whom to write to and what to say In the letter. What background to give, I mean, and what points to emphasize. So I did. Then 1 sat and waited.” , “How long 7" He grunted. "It seemed like several lifetimes. Well, let’s see now, 1 guess 1 wrote my first letter In early December. And 1 didn’t get any reply until the end of January. Then all 1 got was a bunch of forms to till ouL So 1 filled those out and waited some more. It's certainly a waiting game to deal with the government!” She nodded. "But Tom had warned me. Even so, 1 grew impatient, and in February 1 wrote him again and asked him if there was any way 1 might hurry up things. He suggested 1 might contact our state’s senators Or. a congressman. If 1 knew one personally, so much the better, maybe. Well, it just happens that Senator Goodrich went to the same college I did and was in the same frat, and I had met him several times at reunions. So I wrote to him." “And?" “Understand, Jo, he doesn’t have a thing to do with the selection of personnel tor the State department You have to be screened by the FBI tor it -But he said he would see what bl could do. However, the very next day—before he could possibly nave had time th do anything—l heard trom the department and—well, read this for yourself." And he pulled a letter trom his inside pocket Joan’s eyes raced over it “Dear Mr. Hunter ... am tn receipt of your letter of , . . relative to your application for a position in the State department In reply would inform you that it will be necessary for you to meet Mr. Daniel Stone . . . therefore 1 suggest you come to Washington at your earliest opportunity. . . . If you will advise me prior to your arrival 1 will be glad to arrange for you an early interview with Mr. Stone. . . . Yours very truly, Benjamin Doane, Sec’y." "Todd!" she breathed. “It sounds —authentic-!” “So tar, so good," he replied carefully. “But I really think it is authentic. 1 really think the wheels are beginning to turn.” "When do we go?" “1 sent a Wire to this Doane chap this afternoon, saying that 1 would be down there on Monday and would be available for a conference and examinations or whatever is necessary that day or any day next week. Then I wired Tom to expect ua He told me to do this whenever things came to a head." “Wonderful!" * “Well—’" Todd was being more cautious than Joan, more restrained in ma enthusiasm, for nothing was assured as yet and

nothing promised. “There’s still alot ot tape to be unwound." “Hawwrkwtmt Mast it’s starting.* “Yes.” Todd continued. "And if I land tnis job, do you know all iV means 7 ft means that 1 may be able to use my German so all my years of education won’t, be wasted. Tom says the more versatile you are in languages the better, and perhaps my knowledge of German and French is my entering wedge.” He cocked an eyebrow at her and waggled it up and down comically. “It means, too, an income we can live on—really live on, I mean, because with my M A. in my pocket and a year abroad as background, I'll rate close to the tour-thousand-dollar salary Tom i* getting. Four thousand smackeroos! Think of it!” Jban shook her head. “I can’t believe IL 1 Just can't!” “Well, ot course, it Isn’t true yet. But—by Jinks—l'm going to make it come true if 1 possibly can! So go up and pack your duds like a good and proper wife and telephone Mrs. Cochran, if necessary, because we ll light out' ot here tomorrow morning after breakfast.” Joan stood up, her heart light as a feather within her. "Let's hope the old Jalopy will get us there, that’s aIL" “Woman, it’U get us there, if I have -to push IL” * • * Tom and Pamela lived in an apartment in Chevy Chase, which was much pleasanter than being right in the swirling city. The apartment consisted ot a big living room, a good-sized bedroom i bath and a kitchen with a small balcony Opening off the kitchen and overlooking green tree-tops. It was on the top floor of a threestory apartment houii and so eaught whatever vagrant breezes there might be stirring. And tt Araa convenient to everything—ktores, bus lines and moUon picture bouses. The Blakeleea liked it immensely. "Furthermore,” Pam Said to Joan as she finished showing her ground, "we have a Hlde-a-Bed here in our living room, So even if we can't boast a guest room, we can take care of you eaa i 1 y enough.” “It’s perfect,” Jo e n answered. "Just perfect! And when 1 think of the rent you pay— Why, for a set-up tike this we’d have to hand out about ninety dollars at home." Pam nodded. “1 guess the. government has to keep rents down or half ot its workers couldn’t afford to stay here." That conversation had taken place yesterday. Now it was Monday, the day after Todd's and Joan’s arrival. The old Jalopy hMd, indeed, made the run successfully without having to be pushed, and tot that t’-pv \yer4 thankful.

It was not -Joan’s first visit to the capital During the Christmas holidays of her sophomore year at college, she and several of her classmates had taken a trip tn Elaine’s car all the way to Florida, with Joan's mother as chaperon. But because ot the pressure ot time then they had paused only for a quick look at the Capitol building as they passed through the city. There remained for Joan’s pleasure now a visit to the other hallowed spots. "You and Tom have been to these places, 1 suppose," Joan said, as she slipped in next to Pam at the wheel. “.Oh, yes I We did the town almost as soon as we arrived,” Pam answered. “Now we’re looking forward to a weekend down in Williamsburg. By the way, couldn’t . you stay over and all of us go down there next weekend?” Joan shook her head. "Not a chance. Todd has to be back at school Monday morning bright and early. Anyway, Pam, that’s one place I’ve seen. We took it in on that trip to Flortdg. I was telling you abouL” "Oh, too bad.

Like old titties.” "Let’s Hope It’s just the beginning,” Joan said. She was thinking, as she replied, how much warmer and lisa restrained Pam had grown since her marriage to Tom. In Europe she might have thought it was nice havttig, Joan here, but she never woulg have said tt There had been an almost icy aloofness in her through most of that year which it had taken love to break through. “You’re very happy, aren't you, Pam?" "Yes." Pam was silent for a moment, then she threw Joan a sudden brilliant smile. "I think I’ll tell jtou, I’m happy, all right, but not nearly as happy as 1 expect to be in about six months." “Pam!" Pam nodded. “You've guessed IL Isn’t it wonderful! Come September, Joan, and we'll have our baby. I can hardly wait” “1 beL” " "We’ve bought a small farm," Fam Went on. “A« soon as we were sure, we went out and bought a little farm because there won’t be room in the apartment. Want to sec it? 1 think we’ll have time today. It isn’t far.” "Os course 1 want to ace it!" Joan replied. "Oh, Pam! How lucky can yob get ? a baby and a house of your own all in one year!" "You wait,” Pam said reassurringly. VYou'll have the same luck.” (To Be Continued/ _J
