The cause of cancer Is not yet thoroughly under-

to discover the facts about the disease. They tell you
that every person should be carefully examined for pos-

cancer Is curable.”
Frame - The Enemy
Amartenn foreign poUcy in Europe continues to be
based on the traditional concept which evolved after
World War n. Yet to be realistic, U. 8. policy must be
reoriented.
For most practical purposes France is an enemy,
not an ally. France is using the shield of U. 8. power for
protection and the pretense of alliance with us for op-
portunities to attack us IntemaUy, In NATO, flnanciaUy,
in Asia, and especially in our efforts to unite Europe in
an Atlantic partnership framework.
The lll-dlsguised effort of the French dictatorship
today Is to kick the United States out of Europe, replace
the dollar as the world currency, dominate the contin-
ent (as did Napoleon and many French kings) and weak-
en and undermine the respect of the United 8tates alh
over the world.
The French are not beyond co-operating with the
Communists to achieve such ends, which is in line with
the French tradition of duplicity and intrigue in inter-
national affairs.
Washington continues to pretend France is an ally,
continues to put a good face on it all, and continues to
officially hope for better relations. But the prospect is
that French-U.S. relations will get worse, not better.
■ And until we realistically face the truth, and get our
military forces out of France, and move NATO’s head-
quarters elsewhere, and perhaps reorient NATO, making
West Germany Its center, and fight the battle with De-
Gtulle’s dictatorship quite openly, economically and
otherwise, we will continue to lose ground in Europe.
Already, the French are steadily pushing us out of a
spteial relationship we have enjoyed with West Ger-
many.
We are losing West Germany’s allegiance, despite
official denials, to the French, and unless new policies
and new diplomats are given a chance, France will soon
have replaced the United States as West Germany’s
special partner in international affairs, before we mount
a real attack in the battle.

The Cost Of Living
It’s a sign of Inflationary times that there are almost
as many Americans with two jobs as with none.
According to the Labor Department, there are about
three and a half million moonlighters in the United
States compared with about four million unemployed.
Not surprisingly, officials report there is a high rate
of dual job holding among public service employes such
as teachers, policemen, and firemen.
At first glance, the solution seems simple. Why not
get the persons with second jobs to quit to open up
positions for those without?
It wouldn’t work, says the Labor Department. Com-
paratively few Jobless workers could or would take the
secondary Jobs held by those with two.
Nor, it was reported, does the evidence indicate
there would be any big increase in moonlighting if the
federal standard work week were cut from 40 to 35 hours,
as organized labor is urging Congress to do.
What the Labor office did not say, was that the
soaring cost of living forces many of these people to
take on extra work. They’re hooked. They can’t quit.

CHAPTER 22
SOON as he had finished
the melon given to him Dy
the Maroons, Ezra Bond fell
asleep. When he awoke It was
to a consciousness that the light
was slanted differently—what
light broke through into this
remote, dim place—and his sea-
man’s Instinct told him that
was early morning again. He
must have slept all afternoon
and all night Well, he’d needed
It
The two Maroons were wait,
tog for him. Squatting on their
haunches, they did not frown
but regarded him gravely; and
when they saw he was awn ke
they rose. Each had before him
a huge basket or net made of
some sort of vine, one being
filled with melons, the other
with fish. These looked much
too heavy for any one man to
hoist but the Maroons shoul
dered them stoically and seem-
ingly without effort
Still no word was spoken, no
sign was made, but Ezra Bond,
after he had put on his shoes—
they’d been hanging around his
neck all this time—took it that
he was expected to fall in; so
he stepped behind one. before
the other. Immediately they
started along a trail Ezra could
not even see.
He assumed that the Maroons
could see that trail or path, for
they never faltered or hesitated
in any way. They must be, be
reckoned, so wild that they had
the jungle instincts of a tiger,
say. or a Hon. They could hear
j sounds that no ordinary person
could hear, and smell things
that no ordinary person could
. smell.
The old Indians were sup-
posed to have been like that,
from what men said; though as
far as Ezra was concerned, the
, Indians he had sometimes seen
around Saybrook didn’t look as
i if they had sense enough to
! come in out of the rain.
The swamp remained dim,
but Ezra could see sunlight
ahead. Evidently they were ap-
proaching an open space.
The first Maroon stopped sud-
denly. causing Ezra to collide
with him. The second laid a
gentle hand on Ezra's shoulder,
to hold him back. Except when
they carried him. it was the
first time either of them had
touched him
The first Maroon moved-
ahead a little, then quickly re-
turned and squatted on nis
haunches. The other also
squatted. So Ezra did this too.
For some time nothing hap-
pened: and then Ezra began to
hear the search party approach.
It would come very close, to
judge from the Jingle It made.
The men must have been tired.
Since they didn't talk much
Ezra
panions, one after the other,
but neither stirred or changed
expression in any way. They
might have been asleep.
The party passed within
twenty-five feet of where these
three squatted. They could see
It plainly. There were four sea-
men armed with cudgels and
two marines with muskets.
They looked unhappy.
A sneeze, a hiccup, at that
time—and It would have been
all over. But Ezra remained as
still as his companions.
He wondered afterward what
the Maroons would have done
If somebody Aod coughed.
Would they fight and be killed T
Would they flee, and if they
fled would they carry him with
them? He was never to learn.
The Maroons were in no
hurry. They squatted there all
day. the strangest day that
Ezra Bond had ever spent. They
might have been statues, stone
figures mounted on a gateway.
Much of the time their eyes
were closed, though Ezra was
convinced that they could have
sprung to life like a couple of
cats It anything occurred to
alarm them.
One ate a fish, raw, sucking
the bones; and later the other
ate a fish; and they offered one
to Ezra, but he declined, though
he was very hungry.
AT LAST, at dusk, they rose.
They shouldered their 1—
kets and took oft for the open
space, Ezra between them
again, only thla time they did
not walk single file but spread
out. They left the swamp.
As Ezra bad observed from
the Thtsba, the tine was sharp.
At one moment they ware slip-
ping past wet hanks of Spanish
moss, trees darkly agleam with
mist around them, and at the
next they were climbing a tree-
less rocky hillside, the ground
under their feet being solid, dry.
Were these curious friends of
his afraid of the British, or had
they waited all day only for his,
Ezras sake? He must thank
them, somehow.
He could remember little of
that walk afterward, how long
it was. It was all uphill, though
the slope wasn’t steep; he knew
that much His legs were very
stiff, and the scars on his back
had begun again to burn.
At last they came to what
must nave been one of those
structures the w&lster on the
Thtsba had thought resembled
a hayrick on some Connecticut
farm, it was Indeed, as he had
surmised, a thatched hut He
surmised too that he was meant
to occupy It They gave him
another melon, another fish.
They did not bow or smile or
anything. They «lmply disap-
peared. It was as though they

walla were bare. The only thing
that the but contained waa a
bed or couch made of dry ferns.
Ezra Bond stretched out on this.
It wasn't any palace, but oh!
how much better than the Brit-
ish Navy!
He stayed five days in that
aerie, with nothing to do but
loll and recover hla strength
and enjoy the view of North

until then he himself would
move away—in the opposite di-
rection. Where he would go

He would worry about that
later. Just now he was so happy
to find himself alive that he
could not care.
The skipper of the TJMabe
waa not giving Ezra up until

morning, right after dawn, at
least one longboat load of ma-
rines and bosun's mates came
ashore, to split Into email

they had found the board where

thla had given them a modicum

for such efforts, Ezra believed,

D. C. NEWS MANAGERS
By Rosalie M. Gordon
Editor, America’s Future
Washington is seething with
more complaints about adminis-
tration news management and
suppression of news than were
rampant even under the late
President Kennedy. This is the
practice under which the Pres-
ident and his lieutenants knock
into a cocked hat the American
people s right-to-know, and let
them ki only on so much of the
business of govemmeni as the
news managers think is good
for them, to say nothing of often
coloring what they do let them
know
Presenting themselves in the!
best possible light, of course, I
is an old habit of politicians and I
bureaucrats'. Rut the kind of
hbws management complained
about under the Kenedy and
Johnson regimes is something
different. A classic example,
but hy no means a unique one,
was the handling of the Cuban
missile crisis. Seven days be-
fore confirmation of Russian
missiles in Cuba, reports of
which had been circulating for
months, 400 editors and news-
casters were told that "the
threat in Cuba is not now a mil-
itary threat." Later, Assistant
Defense Secretary Arthur Syl-
vester defended this and other
suppressions of news by saying
that in such situations the gov-
ernment had a rigid to lie to the
people.
Mr. Sylvester still holds his
Defense Department post. And
reporters covering the war in
Vietnam are chafing under In-
creased news management. One
newsman said “this is the first
war in American history in
which newsmen are being bar-
red from the battle area." Here
at home, even friendly adminis-
tration newsmen are kicking
about the President’s habit o f
king news - conference state-
menu, thus leaving time to an-
swer merely a handful of ques-
tions and only such questions as
suit him. The criticism grew
»o loud that Mr Johnson felt
constrained to answer it at a
press meeting at his Texas
ranch last month. He catalog-
ued all the conferences he has
held, promised a one-a-month
conference with advance notice,
hut let it he known it would he
handled in his own way
Then came Mils amazing
statement. He said he consld
ered his own responsibility was
to make available all informa-
tion he could "consistent with
national interest" - not with na-
tional security hut with "natio-
nal interest." One observer said
this obviously means that under
the Poppa-knows - best admin-
istration attitude. Mr. Johnson
decides what is In the "national
interest" for our citizens to
know. That's not much differ-
ent, this same observer remark-
ed. from tbe practice followed
by Musaolini, Hitler and all the
Red dictators. He also sugges-
ted that the President is run-
ning a great risk - the nsk that
whenever he does feed some
real news to the people who pay
for and support the government,
he won't he believed.
