By this vote the Netherlands be- me the first of six nations concerned to complete rati- fication of the treaty. Though both houses of the West German Parlia- ment have approved the E.D.C. Treaty, there is a ques- tion of constitutionality yet to be decided and, therefore, | he German ratification is not considered final. In Bel- rium the Lower House has ratified it although action must yet be taken by the other house as this is written, rance and Italy are stalling, and the ratification issue has not come up in Luxembourg. By approving the treaty, the Netherlands becomes ligible to receive the last fifty per cent of aid voted that nation by Congress last year. This is because ‘former airman of the Foreign Affairs Committee, James J. Richards (D-S.C.) succeeded in writing into the present Foreign Aid bill a stipulation which prevents prospective E.D.C. member nations from receiving more than fifty discussion of blie issues will mot publish WORRIS—e __~ leet Bled] 4 ¢ ib ABRUPILY Jane pushed him away from her. She was look- with distaste as if at someone she had never seen before. “Until we're sick of each other. That's what you started to say, isn’t it, Ted?” “Well.” he grinned, “If that should happen—” “It would happen,” Jane sai quietly. “And very soon, ni doubt.” It was happening to her now, before it had ever started. His kisses, which she had dreamed of with self-stimulated ecstasy, were in reality as flat as cold pancakes. They had aroused nothing in her, not even revul- sion. “No,” she said, frowning, and her hand held him away from her. “Don’t kiss me again, Ted. I don’t want yeu to.” His handsome face looked be- wildered, vaguely annoyed. “Look here, honey, now that this golden opportunity has arrived, that it’s okay for us to get down to brass tacks, you aren’t going to start playing coy, hard to get? You haven’t done that up to date,” he reminded her. He grinned to take any unpleasant- ness from the words. “Why, right along you've all but thrown your- self at my head.” “I suppose I have, at that,” Jane said, taking no offense. “Well, then, why start playing games now?” “l'm_ not,” Jane said quietly. “I'm all through playing games.” She added: “That's what I’ve Editor's Note—Tom Whitney, iwho wrote the following story, was |formerly an AP correspondent in \Moscow.

But recalling Ted saying the words, they had now a hollow ring, as if they might have been something he was parroting from a book he had read. He would be quite willing to take her now.

He would never know great responsibility because he would always steer his course carefully away from it.

He epitomized the elusive, romantic lover about whom ev- ery woman dreams in forbidden moment—and very little else. What did I ever see in him? Jane asked herself. Nothing.

New stations will be built, This Rock By Bill Gibb Talked to Harold Laubscher ef! the Chamber of Commerce about the Bridle Path on South Boule- vard. You know, there was quite a project started last August toward cleaning up this stretch between the coconut palms and developing it into a picnic area. Somewhere along the line, things seemed to have bogged down. Harold explain- ed the situation to me, “Man,” he said “It has sure been embarrassing about the length of time we're taking to ac- complish that project. The Boy Scouts and all the various organi- zations and individuals who work- ed so faithfully with us at the be- ginning probably think that they wasted their time and money. That isn’t true, however. We simply ran into a lot‘of unforeseen difficulties which are gradually being straigh- tened out.” Laubscher then proceeded to ex- plain some of these troubles that have plagued them. . . | It seems that the Bridle Path is divided up into six different sec- tions owned by three men. How-, ever, ownership of the property isn’t in a continuous stretch but al- ternates every six hundred feet Two of the property owners were glad to allow their property to be used for a picnic area but as self- protection to relieve themselves of jany danger of a suit for liability, they requested the City of Key West to lease the land for $l. a year. This was logical and the City was glad to comply with their re- quest. The third owner couldn't be lwon over though. Harold says it wasn’t that he didn’t want to co- operate but that certain differ- ences arose in which the blame could not be placed on him or the City but which made leasing the property impractical. This last difficulty is what has delayed the entire project. Laub- ischer says that they didn’t want ithe picnic area to run 1200 feet then be blocked off for 600 feet, and start again for another 1200} Set, etc. They stalled for time try- Of Ours “Tm in love.” \Charles nor Glenn knew about Scouts).
