so that she had to dial twice to
get her number. Her voice shook
a little. "Doctor Everts’ office?

No. I’ve never been in before.”
She sat for a moment on the

Delegates to the Foreign Ministers Conference in Mos-
cow did find unity and friendliness in one occasion—a fare-
well banquet.. Stalin, the host, shook hands with all guests as
they arrived about 9 p. m. and again when they left four
hours later. President Truman was toasted, as were heads of
other powers, including President •Shvernlk of the USSR. The
guests were so many that they overflowed a long banquet i
table and some were seated as smaller tables. There was a j
great deal of food, including caviar, hot and cold fish, chicken,
turkey, ice cream and drinks including vodka, wines, cham-
pagne and liqueurs.
Secretary of State Marshall in his toast to the conference
made it clear that he had hoped for greater accomplishment! it.
than was made, explaining that Americans are impatient for
kn early peace and prosperity in Europe. Later, however, he
said in a talk with newsmen that the meeting must be con- ,

prosperity to Europe.
The banquet served a purpose. It ended the conference on
a note of amity. Since ancient times, breaking bread together
has been a ceremonial among all peoples, one making for good hc“ked landed a five pound

didn’t expect to wet a line, in
view of the threatening wea-
ther, but when you've promised
two boys a fishing (trip to the
coast and they’ve talked it for
weeks, you don't let weather put
it off.
Along with the wife and Polly
Howerton who was going down
to do some sketching and wa-
ter colors of coastal scenes, we
headed for Port O’Conner and
Ronnie Luster’s Boat Basin
fishing headquarters.
We were luckv—we had pick-
ed perhaps the only spot on the
Texas coast where any fish were
to be caught over the week end.

could laugh.
She went back to the kitchen
and to the task of cleaning the
kitchen shelves which had been in-
terrupted by Lois’ calk Each time
the clock cMmed she paused in
her task to count it, to hear her
heart beat louder than the chime.
There were three other young
women In Doctor Everts* office
when she went in. They greeted
her coming with a smile, looked
her over, frankly curious, and
Diane picked up a magazine quick-
ly and pretended interest in the
first page to which she opened it.
This was what Joan Dexter had
meant when she said It was sis-
ters-under-the-skin, here. But she
didn’t intendJ;o be drawn into any
familiarity; hers was her own se-
cret. She read one paragraph, an-
other, with desperate tntentness.
But tn spite of It, she heard bits
of their talk. "Say, I couldn’t lift
my head for two months. I was so
tick to my stomach! Thank Heav-
en that’s over.” A comparison of
hospitals. The Sheldon had tele-
phones by the bed. “You don’t
have to wait *til a nurse gets
around to thinking she has time
to bring one in." The General let
you have people in to see you any
time and the food was wonderful f
Then one girl said, with a not too
happy laugh: “This is my third.
And my last, or I’ll know why!”
Diane's fingers tightened on ji^r
magazine, as she suddenly remem-
bered that she and Bill, talking
about it before their marriage, had
agreed they wanted three children.
And then Bill had said in his firm
way: "But not even one, darling,
until, we’ve gotten ahead! When
we can have a house and keep a
servant”
Dismay struck In on her. Bill
certainly wouldn’t think he'd got-
ten far enough ahead, now! He’d
be terribly disturbed, perhaps, by
all it would cost There'd be tlie
hospital expense and a nuRe—
“Mrs. Arden," signaled a uni-
formed woman from the door.
Diane got to her feet, her knees
shaking. "Maybe he'll say it isn’t
ms,” she prayed In her dismay.
But Doctor Everts, tall and
gray-haired and benign, said that,
considering everything she tbhl
him, there was no doubt of it. He
patted her shoulder. "You mustn't
fee! any alarm, my dear. You ap-
pear to be in exceptionally splen-
did health. Go on doing all the
things you have been doing. Keep
happy."
When, smilingly, he closed the
record book in which he had jot-
ted down her answers to his ques-
tions. Diane felt as though he were
shutting her within its leather cov-
ers. "Five hundred dollars for the
delivery alone," Joan Dexter bstd
said, proudly, as if it put added
value on her baby.

A bill, passed the other day by the New Jersey legislature,
requires that anyone, even a fiction writer, using an assumed
name, must register it with the Secretary of State. The reason
for the law is said to be the prevalence of Communists who
move around the country, and in and out of it, using names
«... not their own, one individual frequently employing several.
An alias is an old device, and by no means always a
criminal one. Many writers come to mind better known now
by their make-believe names than by their real cognomens.
- One has to think a bit to recall that George Eliot was Mary
Ann Evans; that Mark Twain was Samuel Clemens; O. Henry
w- 8- Porter; Artemus Ward was born Charles F. Browne.
Such pseudonyms are innocent disguises. If, as New Jer-
' • stiy seems to think, there is a growing tendency to use fictlt-
ious names for unlawful purposes, the law has some reason.
Yet as so often happens, will it not be complied with by the
guiltless like these fiction writers, and ignored by those using
' an alias for purposes of subterfuge?
Advertising The Atom
One of the most simple and direct fund-raising letters
that has come to this desk is signed in a cramped hand, ‘ A.
Einstein.” Albert Einstein is chairman of the Emergency
Committee of Atomic Scientists. These world-renowned men
state that they recognize their “Inescapable responsibility to
carry to our fellow citizens an understanding of the simple
facts of atomic energy and its implications for society.”
Calling atomic energy “the most revolutionary force since
prehistoric man’s discovery of fire, a basic power of the uni- i
verse against which there is no defense.” the scientists lay'
their faith in "man’s ability to control his destiny through,
reason.”
Adding that knowledge of atomic energy cannot be kept
secret or exclusively national, this committee proposes a pro-
gram of broad education on the dangers of this new force to1
all mankind. For this they ask a million dollars.
The sum asked is a fraction Qf that which has been ex-
pended and what will be appropriated for fission work It is a
curious kind of insurance fund, asked of man, against his de-
struction ■ - -'

After the first world war, Republican low*teriff senti-
ment seemed to fade out. The Fordney-McCuntfSr act of 1922
was warmly supported. There was considerable opposition to
the Smoot-Hawley act of 1930, but more over specific rates
than from a low-tariff conviction. Most Republicans opposed
Secretary Cordell Hull’s measures to reduce tariffs by recip-
rocal trade agreements with other nations.
Does Landon’s stand signal a break-up of the former un-
yielding high-tariff viewpoint? This would be a new chapter
indeed in American political history'. It might mean the be-
ginning of sensible foresight in world affairs by both parties.

BILL HAD not come home.
Diane faced the empty apartment
with a* acute disappointment. She
wanted to throw herself at BiU.

c Maybe, maybe we’re on the way to
j propagate our kind!"
But you wouldn’t say it flippant-

She went swiftly to the long mir-

with a new alarm at her half-
i stripped body, pressed her hands
against it to feel its familiar allm-
J ness.
In bed she remembered that
some women died at such times.

Gradually an unfamiliarity ir, •
the countryside roused her to won-
dering where she was. The road
was climbing into low hills, curv-
ing among them. There were
stretches of pleasant shade where
great trees stood dose to it, a
creek ran along beside it, through
a shallow ravine. She slowed her1
speed, enjoying a little sense of
adventuring. When she heard some }
boyish shouting she pulled to tho 1
side of the road, stopped, got out
of the car and went to the
edge of the ravine to look down
into iL
In a pool of deeper water some .
boys were swimming. A quite lit- ’
tie one, naked, stood at the edge
of the pool, dirty toes gripping the
shale, skinny arms stretched up
over his head, his ribs pushing t,
outward under the great breath.
with which he was shouting:
"Lookee, fellars, look-a'-me!” Hie
tousled hair was the color of wheat
in the rain.
Smiling, Diane tiptoed back to
the car. Not for worlds would she
let any unexpected sound spoil
that little boy's dive. When he was f
trying so hard to be brave!
She kept seeing him as she
drove slowly on. He was suddenly,
precious, a little boy she knew, a
little boy she buttoned up day
after day, and bathed and hugged
and watched go off to play.
The road dipped down Into a
wider valley. Graceful willows and ,
beeches, white-leaved in the sun, !
followed the course of the creek
across it. On the other side of it,
on higher ground, its barns against
the opposite hillside, stood a house.
Glimpsing it, Diane thought, ex-
citedly: "That's where the little '
boy; lives!"
Th< n she saw a "For Sale” sign
nailed to a post that marked the |
long lane which led to the house.
She stared at it, inclined to be-
lieve that some magic had just
yenned it there. She looked from
it on to the house. An old house, i
wading both painting and prop- i
p+rg, old sh> ds and barns, but she
saw it the Ibui.-e she had dreamed
of, that day with Page at the side
