Jim left her, hurried through the butler's pantry, the dining room, into the large living room. A night-time gust of wind had funneled down the stone chimney and puffed light wood ashes out into the room The hearth and the near-by floor were covered evenly. Even the lid of the woodbox seat was smoothly covered with the fine ash.

Nowhere was there evidence of any disturbance. Jim found two unused bedrooms and Kit Carlson in the third. On the night table was a small bottle with a plastic top. Inside were many small, brightly colored capsules. Jim muttffed under his breath, "One dr and the other He pushed her covered shoulder She rolled toward him.

Mrs. Gelstrap had hoisted herself erect in the chair. Her little eyes were open. Jim obeyed, set the percolator over the pale blue flame. Mrs.

Ultimately, American military strength overseas may be reduced substantially. One thing that has blocked the withdrawal of American troops has been the vacuum in Germany.

During this period, however, the role of American military power in Europe is expected to are approved and there is high undergo a change hope that they will vacuum will be filled by German troops.

What then becomes of the American forces? It will take 2 to 3 years, of course, before the projected German army of 12 divisions is a reality.

First of all, it is likely that rotation will become a one-way stream.

American soldiers in Germany will be rotated home as they become eligible, but there will be few replacements flowing back overseas. The number of American divisions on duty in Europe will thus remain the same, but actual military strength will decline. As German troops achieve combat readiness, American divisions will then be withdrawn. Just where they will be redeployed is not yet certain, but there is strong pressure to bring them home. The reasoning is that Ameri- con troops as a mobile reserve in the United States are available for use trouble breaks out.

Deployed along the perimeter of the Iron Curtain, they are largely pinned down in one sector leaving gthers inadequately covered. At the same time, the strategy of massive retaliation is being pressed. The White House is determined that American troops will not be drawn into any more Rathter, local forces will be relied on to hold the line, with such support as can safely be given to them. America will stand as a deterrent to an all-out effort by the Communist bloc of Nations control of the world. And the policy dictates that air units now scattered across Europe and the Middle East be withdrawn to a point where they are not so vulnerable to Blitz attack.

This withdrawal Is being called the Perimeter of Europe. Some airmen are likely to find themselves transferred to Spain, which enjoys strong natural defenses. The pyrahees on land, and her peninsular position, far from the Iron Curtain. Hutto Ag. Boys Help Homemakers HUTTO, Oct.
