Peace Plans, War
Materials Made In
Sapie Buildings
LAKE SUCCESS, Nov. 22,
(UP)—Peace plans unci war ma-
terials are being manufactured
in the same building at Lake
Success.
The United Nations has set up
it's headquarters in part of the
huge pl$nt of the Sperry Gyro-
scope Company.
During the War Sperry used
its 2,250,000 square foot plant
ex^usively to make radar, loran
and other devices for shooting
down, the enemy. Now, the com-
pany liiys returned to a peace-
time basis. But about 05 per
cent of what it makes still goes
to the Army and Navy. And a
large part of this stuff is classi-
fied as secret.
The U-N headquarters, where
diplomats are trying to shape
world peace, leased part of the
pHjJft from Sperry in August of
last year, for a three-year
period.
Britain Probably
Will Surrender
Palestine Mandate
LONDON, Nov. 22 (UP) —
Informed London quarters say
Britain probably will insist on
surrendering the Palestine man-
date within five months, re-
gardless of whether the United
Nations is ready to take over.
These sources say that, while
Britain holds the mandate, she
will refuse to implement any
interim plan adopted by the UN
unless the plan is satisfactory
to both Arabs and Jews.
The plan for partition of Pal-
estine was revised in a UN sub-
committee. It's hoped the re-
visions will meet British refus-
al to help materially any UN
commission assigned to divide
the Holy Land.
Bees born in the fall of the
year may live through the win-
ter and reach an age of nine
months. But worker bees born
when pollen and nectar are
plentiful during the summer
usually work themselves to
death within two months.

THE STORY: Joel takes
Mnui'ine away from the
dance before she can start a
panic, then goes back to help
tight the fire. Cam is sitting
alone in the shower room
when she hears the screams
of the crowd. She makes her
way to the dance floor, tries
to out race falling flame. Her
slipper heel catches and she
falls.
XV
CAM knew she must have died
in the fire, and that this must bo
heaven. For she could feel Joel's
mouth on her own, cool arid firm
and possessive.
She even could feel his big
spread-fingered hands holding
her, supporting her weight close
against his chest. He even seem-
ed to be whispering her name,
and it was Joel's voice and no
other. "Cammie—" it was saying.
"Darling," it was saying, "you're
all right now, you're safe now."
Safe in Joel's arms! With Joel
calling her darling, and kissing
her. It didn't matter that, listen
though she did, she could hear
no choir of angels singing. This
was unquestionably heaven.
Cam opened her eyes slowly,
reluctantly, afraid that even
within the safe enclosure of this
other world it would be danger-
ous to push her luck too far. But
his face was still there, bent so-
licitously over her own.
"Joel!" she gasped. "The Base-
ball Cage! It was burning!"
"Still is," he said softly. "But
the fire department's here now.
two engines strong. Don't be
frightened, Cam. You're all right.
They have everything pretty
well under control."
She twisted frantically in his
arms. And there it loomed
against the sky, its ugly peaked
roof awash with restless red and
gold, the sparks billowing sky-
ward from it like fountains of
baby stars. Soon there would be
only blackness left.
"Oh, Joel! And when 1 first
saw it tonight, it was such a—
such a happy party! Everybody
was having so much fun!"
"Easy, Cam," he said. "No hys-
terics. That wouldn't help."
"Maurine—" she began stiff-
ening suddenly.
"I took her out myself, even
before the panic started. Profes-
sor Powell has taken her back
to the Dean's house already. He
wanted to hang around here
with you, but 1 thought I could
finish the jol) better without
him. Maurine's safe, don't wor-
ry."
* Finish the job? "Then you DID
carry me out of there?"
"Of course. I saw you from the
skylight. I'd just started to try
to climb up it, so 1 could get at
I the first flames, when you came
<mt. of the old shower room. I
1 saw your heel catch and trip you
ui)."'
••A—a bunting streamer was
falling straight toward me. It
was on fire. I remember I saw it
coming, and when I tried to get
out of its way—it was wriggling,
Joel, like something alive that
hated me."
He spoke so unhurriedly that
at first Cam was unaware that
| he had cut in on her because her
I voice had begun to spiral higher
and thinner. "I saw it coming.
I too. It, landed across your skirt ]
and began to catch. So I grabbed i
up the punch bowl as I passed |
it. and—well, I'm afraid you !
won't be playing Clamor- Puss in I
lhat dress at any more college
parties! I'm sorry I had to spoil i
it. <'am."
l<'or the first time then, as she
understood his meaning, Cam |
took thought of her own appear-i
ance. The stained, scorched ruin :
of her fabulous satin skirt hung
about her in sodden dankness,;
burned through in a twisted line j
where the streamer had settled. ,
Her coronet of hair had come j
uncoiled and tumbled every
which way over her shoulders.
* * *
"Oh!" she moaned, in stark 1
dismay, remembering the lovely j
and romantic picture she had
taken such pains to produce for j
him tonight.
Joel spoke quickly, anxiously.
"You're not hurt?"
For an instant, Cam found it
impossible to answer him. Close
)n the heels of that initial dis-
may had come a shattering reali-
sation,and it had stopped traffic
in her mind for the moment.
When she had looked so flaw-
less, so smooth, so delectable to
3Very other man at the dance,
Joel had only laughed at her.
But now—now that she must be
presenting a life-like portrait of
Hecate about to ride off on her
broomstick in search of a Witch-
es' Sabbath—he kissed her. He
called her darling. He cradled
her in his arms as if he were
afraid she might break in two.
Strange man!
"Dr. Preston swore to me that
you only blacked out from a
bump on the head," Joel was as-
suring her earnestly.
"I'm all right, Joel. Stop fret-
ting. Nothing's wrong with me."
Reluctant though she was to
leave that wonderful secure em-
brace, Cam drew herself away
from him and stood free. "J sup-
pose I'd better get along home
now. 1—I'm a sight."
"Kind of a sweet sight," he
agreed. The compliment was to-
tally unexpected, and so was the
husky tenderness with which he
had spoken it. "I.o k, if we go
back to the Dean's house, you'll
only have your cousin's hyster-
ics to cope with. And your friend
the Professor looked as if he
might suddenly blow his top,
too. How about a short canoe
ride, instead? The boats are still
down by the river."
Cam knew what he must be
remembering. Those soft Octo-
ber afternoons, years ago, when
they had drifted on a river
banked with golden maples. The
quiet out there on the water,
broken only occasionally by two
young and earnest voices. The
blase of sumac, down stream.
So long ago. . . .

Superfort Producer
Warns Against Too
Much Jet Ship Talk
SPRINGFIELD, Nov. 22. (UP)
—The man who produced the
B-29 Superfort and its successor,
the ii-00, warns against so-called
"loose talk" about development
of jet planes and pilotless air-
craft.
William Allen, President of
Boeing Aircraft Company, spoke
today before the fifth annual
Aviation Clinic in Springfield,
Illinois. He says it will be a
number of years before these
new aircraft are useful for Of-
fense "purposes and that it would
be a mistake to neglect the pro-
duction of standard war planes
in the meantime.
Sfossen Convinced
U. S. Can Avoid All
Phases Of Recession
CHICAGO, Nov. 22, (UP)—
Harold Stassen is convinced the
United States can avoid depres-
sion.
But he says we should adopt
an eight-point economic pro-
gram, including reduction of in-
come taxes and re-establishment
of control# of consumer credit.
Stassen. a Republican presiden-
tial aspirant from Minnesota,
spoke before the Chicago Execu-
tives club today.
He said the most important
economic question the world
over is whether we can avoid a
crash or depression. He said
that if it is alert to the lessons
of the past, modern capitalism
dan continue in extremely high
production without the devasta-
tion of an economic crisis.
llAKBKRING MADK EASY
CHEROKEE, la. (UP)— Ben

kers—and getting callouses on
his feet, lie installed a special
seat apparatus on a swivel and
now sits as he works, moving
around the barber chair without
getting up.

Gypsy Gang Leader
Sought By Police
Of San Anfonio
SAN ANTONIO, Nov. 2i, (UP)
—A 19-year-old youth who head-
ed a so-called "Gypsy" gang of
four other youngsters is sought
by San Antonio officers.
The four were found by Offi-
cer Carroll Shook in a parked
car. They included 11 and 13-
year-old sisters, their 11-year-old
brother, all from Marshall, and a
15-year-old girl from Gladewa-
ter. They told the officer that
their 19-year-old companion had
gone to call a wrecker after the
ear,reportedly stolen from Tyler,
had broken down.
Officers attempted to connect
the missing youth with a bur-
glarized cafe in Marshall, a gas-
oline station and a beverage
stand in San Antonio.
A pistol and a money bag con-
taining 827 was found in the
automobile.
