Under pressure of war, it grew fnom about 24,000 meri and 2400 air-
craft in 1939 to 2,500,000 men and
In this fiscal year, under original plans, we were to have had an air force of 400,000 men and about 21,000 planes, divided into 70 combat
groups. This is what Gen. Carl Spaatz, army air forces commander, called the “irreducible minimum below which the AAF cannot perform its assigned mission.” But in the last week, peacetime economy has forced the AAF to prepare for a 20 per cent cut in civilian personnel, and another reduction of $200 million in its present budget has been requested by the White House, One high officer said that what/ we have is a two—or maybe a threepunch air force. ‘Disarmament Doesn't Prevent War’ Last May, Gen, Spaatz explained the AAP's “assigned mission” to congress this way: “The air force must provide national security in

to one billion, which would repre- | sent a reduction of one-third below its original request. The reduction in civilian per- | sonnel occasioned by the pay raise, | according to Gen.

either. “So naturally I couldn't have you —not for my own. I was with you a great deal while I was convalescing—you really pylled me through, ! too. I never got over wanting you —not even after Corinna came.” “Until tonight I always thought that you loved me,” Cecily said. “But now I know that you've hated me for a long, long time” » LJ » | “I'VE HATED the way Della brought you up to kick people around. I knew it was all a fairy tale.” Cecily walked over to the window and stood there looking out as if there were anything to be! seen in the darkness. “I gave Steve back his ring,” she volunteered. “I'm not the same person that I was this morning. I told him it wasn't fair to him to be! engaged until we see what kind of | a person I'm going to be. Maybe he | won't like me, “And I'm too upset to thik of marrigge now, Maybe later. I'm so numb that I can’t feel anything— not even sorry for myself, I suppose it's shock. But until it wears off—I don’t know whether I'm in love or what—"
tJ ” » I FELT a pang of pity for Steve. I saw, as Cecily had seen, that the girl he had loved was gone forever, Perhaps the old attraction would hold when the new Cecily emerged from her chaotic state but there was no way of foretelling that now. There was no way of knowing, either, whether Val would prefer an ashamed, uncertain Cecily to the arrogant dream girl he had wanted. ’ “I'm not going back to college,” Cecily said. “That's the first thing that makes me think I'm not going to be any one to admire. I ought to be one of these chin-up, should-

Cecily turned back to me suddenly. “Aunt Mavis, please let me stay here tonight if my bed is still in Corinna’s room.” , :
“Of course,” I whispered. My yoice would betray me yet, I thought.
“I just want to be with Corinna tonight,” Cecily said childishly and began to cry again, : But despite her grief she slept long before I did.. The memory of my harshness was a punishing weight on my heart,
a
opening the doors of her house to me—to Corinna, to others whose background she scorns. " n n SHE HAD no basis any longer for setting barricades around Cecily on the claim of superior birth, She would have driven Cecily from her if she had tried and she knew It has taken. Cecily a long time to find herself—jolted as she was | from believing herself superior to everyone but God into an equally fallacious conviction that a girl tainted by a beginning like hers could never again meet any human being as an equal. It was Robert, accustomed to voungsters like Carl and Val, who brought her out of that .dreadful mental morass. Val's letters encouraged her, too—they bore so | unmistakably the imprint of Robe | ert, even though they held Vals signature. Val knew the hard uphill way to a self-confidence that was neither arrogance nor conceit but a sure knowledge of one’s real worth, » n on | I WAS grateful when Steve re-| turned on his last furlough before being sent overseas, that Cecily was well enough emotionally to welcome him almost as she had on other occasions. She even accepted a dinner engagement with his parents. These were healthy signs. I still grow faint when I realize how near I came to breaking Cecily for all time that night of her engagement party. ! “I suppose she'll come back wearing Steve's ring again,” I hazarded to Della. I could accept her choice of Steve now with equanimity; marriage to him would not rob me of Cecily; Corinna and I were firmly entrenched in her life. But my heart ached for Val, even though I liked and respected Steve. He had been loyalty itself through Cecily’s crisis. ” n » DELLA went sour at the hint that the former engagement might be renewed. “Steve represents the things Cecily has always taken for granted,” she said. “She took his ring last year because she was mad at Val for washing out. This year she isn't mad at Val.” “You. mean- she’s going to—" “Yes,” said ‘Della grimly, “it's enough to make a dog howl. I've put in more than 20 years building up to a suitable marriage for her and you—" I don't remember” the rest of it. I, to, had put in 20 years—wait ing for this moment. When it came it was too much to bear. I had to go fipd Robert.
