On the other hand, in Europe Fulbright's speech has

Our policy is unchanged. Bin we can keep the idea
of a more flexible foreign policy in view. If we are at-
tached to "myths" or
tional reactions behind us and look at the
what they are.
Should the choice then turn to Nixon or Scranton,
the decision would be between veteran scarred by defeat
in 1960 and 1962 and a relative newcomer, less widely
known but unblemished by previous setbacks.
Scranton’s backers think his chances in such a sit-
uation are good, but he would have to edge both Nixon
and Lodge His best chance might well be the Vice Pre-
sidential nomination, with either Nixon or Lodge

Bocial Security is not the same as veteran’s pensions,
which are gratuities from the government. Except in
cases of service-connected disability, need Is a fair pre-
requisite to the pension. But Social Security is an em-
ploye's own money (and that of his employer). He is
forced to pay it whether he needs it or not. And that is
precisely the way it should be returned to him-whether
he needs it or not—The Montgomery (Ala.) Advertiser.

“We agree on the latter point
Why can’t we settle for that?”
“Because there have been
three killings, ana I believe
they're connected. They may all

person."
„ Godwin didn’t ask me who. It

“What third killing?"
•The shooting of Luke De-
loney, an apartment owner in
Bridgeton, Illinois Helen Hag-
gerty's home town. It occurred
over twenty years ago, and ner
father was in charge of the
case. I’ve just talked to her
mother about It.”
“You seriously think it’s con-
nected with the present case?"
“Helen thought so. Her death
makes her an authority on the
subject.”
“What do you propose to do
about It?”
Td Uke to fly to Illinois to-
night and question Helen's fa-
ther. I’m hoping Alex Kincaid
will finance the trip.”
"If he won't I will.'' Godwin
rose decisively. “T’ll get him.
He's stayed with her long
enough."
Godwin disappeared down the
hallway. Minutes later Alex
Kincaid came back alone. Hurt
and embarrassment flickered
across the upper part ot his
face when he saw me. He
rtepped Into the office, shutting
i the door behind him.

day. I tried to chicken out."

sharply. “1 was really lousy.

telt that way when I went home
with Dao—as though I wasn't
s man any more." He pushed
him sell cleat ot *he door and
balanced nun sell an nts feet,
his arms swinging slightly at his
sides. He telt like a man now.
"How is your wife*" I said.
“She actually seemed glad to
see me. But she was still very
upset. She heard two ol the
aides talking about some story
in the local paper.”
"Did she nave anything lo
say about the gun?”
“It isn't ners. Somebody must
have hidden it under her mat-
tress. Spe asked me to describe
IL and she said It sounded Uke
her Aunt Alice's revolver. Her
aunt used to keep It on her bed-
side table at rngtiL Dolly was
sort ot fascinated by it when
she was a little glrL”
"Has she Hopped blaming
nerseU for Helen Haggerty’s
death ?’’
"No. She stilt says it was ner
•ault. Everything's her fault, t
don’t believe her, of course.” He
paused. “Just how sick do you
think she is?”
"You’ll nave to take that up
with the doctor.”
“He isn’t saying much. He
wants to give her some psycho-
logical tests tomorrow, and tf
she earn stand It maybe he’U try
truth serum—Sodium Pentothal
—on Monday. I told him to go
ahead."
"Do I nave your go-ahead,
too?"
"I was hoping you'd take that
for granted. I want you to do
everything you can to nettle
this thing."
"It’s going to cost you
money." I told him about my
plan to fly to Illinois, and pos-
sibly to come back by way of
Reno.
He said thoughtfully, “I can
sell the car. ft's paid for. and
I’ve been offered two-five for U.
I was getting pretty Bred of
sports car rallies and all that
Jazz.”
He Insisted on giving me all
the money to his wallet. As I
was putting it away, I heard
a woman cry out at the front
of the building. Her voice was
loud and out of control, and I
i Dr. Godwin’s patients.
But it was Alice Jenks. She
was standing Just inside the
front door, glaring at the doctor
through togged glasses. Godwin
said coldly: “You’re not taking
Dolly borne with you, guardian
or no guardian. Your niece is
ot age now, and a married
woman. She’s here ot her own
tree will."
That’s right.” Alex stepped
forward Into toe verbal line ot
fire. “I'm Alex Kincaid. Dolly's
husband. I think It’s Important
for her to stay here. I have con-
fidence in the doctor, and so
has my wife”
“I’m sorry for you then. He
had me bamboozled, too, until
1 found out what went on in his
office”
Alex looked Inquiringly at
Godwin. The doctor turned his
hands out as It he was feeling
for rain. He said to Miss Jenks,
‘hYom a woman ot your train-
ing and background. I’d expect
a more professional attitude to-
ward the practice of psychia-
try.”
"I’m not talking about the
practice ot psychiatry. I'm talk-
ing about the practice of other
thinga Don’t \hlnk I didn’t know
my sister and what went on in
ner life I’ve been remembering
things—the way she used to
primp and preen Saturday morn-
ings before sne came into town.
And then she wanted to move
here, to b» closer.”
“Closer to me?"
“So she told me Vow invert
her. didn’t you?”
”1 loved her the way « doc-
tor loves hts patients, if ties
any good." Godwin's face was
white, as it all his color had
been drawn Into the darkness of
hts eyes. “You’re a silly woman.
Miss Jenks, and I’ve had enough
of you. f'll ask you to leave
now.”
’’I'm staying here till I see
my niece. I want to know just
what you're practicing on her.”
But a kind of shame had be-
gun to invade her tace Her
mouth was twitching like a
small injured thing. It had said
more than she Intended.
When I took her by the arm
and said, "Come on. Miss |
Jenks,” she let me lead her out.
The air was chilly after the
hothouse atmosphere ol the
nursing nome. Miss Jenks got ,
into her car clumsily and dug i
some cleansing tissue out of :
her purse which she used to j
clean her glasses.
“Old yon kill him?” Archer
has reason to ask someone.
Continue Tlie Chill” here to
morrow.
lhTEW YORK—Things one New Yorker
11 thinks about:
The city was not always thus, full of glass
matchboxes towering SO stories In the sir, or
comics coming but of Llndjr's In whits polo
costs, or pleasant Raw York youths sngsgsd
In removing hubcaps from autos. The city
was somewhat different In the long ago—and
If you want to get a good Idea of how that
was. It is suggested you drop by the Museum
of the City of New York exhibit at the World’s
Fair, which is encased in the New York City
Pavilion.
The 60-foot-long exhibit, divided into U
panels, demonstrates what a fire warden’s
trumpet looked like in IBM, includes a theater
program from the 1795 production of “The Robbers’* at the John
Street Theater, proudly displays a crown worn by Lillian Russell
and shows a scale model of the 1920 Hudson River sloop Mary
L., loaded with a cargo of hay for New York horses. And so on.
There is a host of color transparencies on view, including one of
John D. Rockefeller Sr.’s bedroom, ponderously furnished in the
fashionable Eastlake style of the 1880s.
An extra added attraction at this exhibit is the fanfoug scale
model of Nieuw Amsterdam of I860—a 9 By 11-foot layout, never
moved from the museum in the past Xf years, showing the city
as It was 300 years ago. Now Yoifk in those dayp was merely a
flyspeck on the map, a scrabble of stnpped-rooT houses at Man
hattan’s tip, with Wall Street itsTiortiiern boundary. Those were
the days when Broadway was called Do Heere Street by th»
Dutch. Time has. Indeed, marched «ni. V1 *
• • * '
EVERYBODY HERE SEEMS TO BE A COMIC THESE
days: when that monstrous, lavish post-opening night party for
“Hamlet” was held at the Rainbow Room, the place got 86 calls
from characters saying they were Eddie Fisher and won -sorry
not to be able to make the brawl. Also, 43 calls from pseudo-
Sybil Burtons, saying she couldn’t make the scene.... For years
now the metropolitan area here has been the wealthiest section
in the U. S., personal income-wise, and it’s still going up. People
around here made nine per cent more money In 1961 than they
did in 1959, according to a report from the Treasury Department.
The Long Beach-Los Angeles metropolis ranks sernnd and tha
citizens there make less than half the swag we do. . . . Tony
Curtis’ mother's heart still is in the Bronx. During the eiimtwy
of “Wild and Wonderful,” she sent potato lathes to tha sat for
Tony and his pals. *

THE MOST FASCINATING NEO-NEWSPAPERMAN IN
town is Sister Maria del Rey, of tha Marykaoll Sisters order.
A onetime Pittsburgh girl reporter named Ethel Danforth, she's
a student at Columbia’s journalism school and alao director nf
publicity for the 1,670 Maryknoll nuns. When she goon to n
news-making cocktail party she tries to melt into tha scenery.
“There's no use to throw a wet blanket on everyone aloe.” she
smiles. . . Geordle Hormel, the millionaire meat-packing heir
who plays fine piano, is back at The Most for another engage-
ment. Geordie, who once was married to Leslie Caron, Bings, too,
in the Sinatra style.... Shortcut to World’s Fair data, when you
