Television Set Blew Its Tube But No Wonder NEW YORK, Sept. 27 (TP) They are still talking about it in New York; the light that failed a television audience Saturday night. The show at the Air Forces Associations reunion in Madison Square Garden was being broadcast both visually and verbally, when Gypsy Rose Lees turn came. Miss Lees talents run in various directions, including that of author.

But on Saturday night, Miss Lee was scheduled to display some of her other charms. The television audience saw her appear in an evening gown. And then the screen went blank. However, the home audience could hear interesting noises from the audience at Madison Square Garden; noises which seemed to imply that something was happening to the evening gown. But when the television screens began functioning again, Gyspy Rose Lee had finished her performance.

The television engineers insist it wasn't aase of censorship. They say it just happened. That the camera blew a tube at that Chapter 9 pHIL MARTIN huddled within 1 his rain-soaked jacket and its soggy upturned collar. His hat brim was shapeless beneath the downpour, his pants were drenched and his boots were waterlogged. His equally rain-soaked horse plodded along wearily he was too worn and winded to go any faster and Phil was too much annoyed with things in general to care.

He rode on for a time in silence, a bulky figure with a bowed head. His weary horse stopped suddenly, and Phils head jerked upward. Fifty feet ahead of them was a dark structure. What in time. Phil muttered.

He jerked the reins sharply. Go on! The horse broke into a trot. Presently they pulled up in front of the building and Phil dismounted stiffly. He trudged to the door. He poked his head inside, but it was too dark for him to see anything.

He stepped into the shack, stopped when he stumbled over something that lay on the floor. He drew back warily, whipped open his jacket, loosened his gun in its holster he dug into an inside pocket, produced a match. The phosphorous head scratched against his thumb nail and flared. Phils eyes ranged downward and widened almost instantly on the floor lay the huddled figure of a girl. Holy cow! he whispered in awed tones.

He stepped a bit closer and bent over. It was Gay Hollis. There was a shadeless lamp standing on a shelf directly opposite the door; he strode over, tried the wick, touched the match flame to it and it flamed with a sputtering light. Phil closed the door quickly. He whipped off his hat and jacket, slung them aside, laced the lamp on the floor just eyond the exhausted Gay.

He knelt down beside her. Hey, ne said, touenea net arm. Hey! There was no response from the girl. He turned her over gently on her back. She was breathing and he felt relieved.

He. raised his eyes. There was a wide bunk at the far end of the shack and a folded blanket lay at the foot of the bunk itself. He slid his left arm under her, his right arm undfcr her legs he lifted her easily, carried her to the bunk and started to lay her down. He frowned in thought for a moment, finally shook his head.

Nope, he muttered. Cant put er down the way she is. Gotta get them wet thing hers off first. He caught up the blanket, opened it and spread it over her. Then he knelt down, fumbled underneath the blanket and managed to compelte the unbuttoning of her dungarees.

He slipped his left hand under her body, used it as a lever and raised her presently he slipped off the dungarees, pulled them out from under the blanket and straightened up again. He looked around the place. There were a couple of upended boxes beyond the door he strode over, draped the wet dungarees over one box and retraced his steps. Again he bent over her, remembered that she was still wearing her boots after some more fumbling under the blanket he removed them, put them down on the floor. He eyed her sweater.

That was going to prove even more difficult than the dungarees. HE squared his shoulders, drew a deep breath he drew up her sweater, gulped and colored. Quickly he eased it over her head, backed away and came erect. He turned, marched off, and draped the sweater over a second box. Boy, he mumbled and shook his head again.

That was somethin, awright. Danged good thing Nettie wasnt here see it. His shirt was drenched and it ciung io mm. He found a battered pail in a dark corner of the shack, brought it out with his gun butt he smashed the two remaining boxes, put the pieces at wood into the pail, used two at his precious remaining matches to start the wood burning. When the pail fire appeared to be coming along, he put the thing down in the middle of the floor, moved it a little closer to the boxes holding Gays sweater and dungarees.

Reckon that oughta help thm dry, he muttered. He unbuttoned his own shirt, took it off held it up for a moment; there was a' makeshift table in one corner and lvs dragged it across the floor until it was close to the crackling pail, spread his shirt out On the table with the tail hanging down. Phil, he heard a voice say and a hand reached out and caught his. O-h, he said. "You awright? Yes, Gay answered.

Thanks to you of course. He moved away a bit. Dont go, she pleaded. Sil down here beside me. We-11.

He sat down on the edge of the bunk. There was a movement on the bunk and Gay pushed the outspread blanket away and sat up. Hey, he said quickly. I dont think you oughta do that Do what, Phil? This? Her lips were against his, her arm around his neck, before he realized it. Dont you want me to thank you? She kissed him softly, gently.

Phil was mute he knew he should have said something, perhaps done something, but he was incapable of either. Her arm came down again, but she did not move away. There was no explaining what followed. Whatever it was, Phil surrendered to its whispered urgings, willingly, even eagerly. She ran her fingers through his wet hair, then she sank down and drew him down with her.

TROY BANK TRUST CO Member Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation 4 i Louisiana Downs Teachers 26-19 Ai LaFayelte Southwestern Louisiana handed the Troy Teachers College Wave-men their first defeat of the new season in a high-scoring game at McNaspy Stadium, in LaFayette, Saturday night.

Bevin asked. -Speaking directly to Vishinsky, Bevin continued, Can Mr. Vishinsky wonder that we are cautious about accepting at face value his statement that the policy of the Soviet Union is one of expanding and strengthening international cooperation? Bevin denied flatly that the Western European alliance is directed against the Soviet Union as charged by Vishinsky. Bevin said he had told Soviet Prime Minister Stalin that Britain would cooperate with her neighbors as Russia is doing with hers.

Russian Nonsense -Bevin said that Rusisas talk of a cold war being waged against her is nonsense. And he added: But what about the Soviet war of nerves? What about the war of nerves which has been carried on against Turkey so long, compelling her to keep herself mobilized? Why a perpetual war of nerves, involving in this case actual lighting against the lawfully elected Greek government and the valiant, sorely tried Greek people? Mr. Vishinsky need not trouble to answer. We know that the Soviet spider wants Greece within its web. Bevin said that in many parts of the world, Democratic institutions are being attacked, either through the Cominform or local Communists acting under direction.

The onslaught is being made dircetly or indirectly on the rgihts of peoples and individuals. It is we who are on the defensive. It is we who are the victims of a cold war waged against us all from Moscow, he said. ton Franklin, T. W.
