Thursday, December 18, 1952 THE CLINTON CHRONICLE Page Seve« J Eisenhower And MacArthur May Meet In Secret New York. —The much-awaited dramatic meeting between Presi dent-elect Eisenhower and Gen. Douglas MacArthur may be a se cret one, it was indicated today. Eisenhower’s spokesman would not talk about it. He wouldn’t even say whether it would be announced in advance. MacArthur could not be reached. Neither could his per sonal advisor, Courtney Whitney. And there was no comment eith er on the rumor that the two World War II leaders might con fer at an early breakfast at Eisen hower’s Morningside Heights resi dence. Eisenhower and Sen. Rob ert A. Taft (R-O.) held a similar meeting shortly after the election. Eisenhower’s announced sched ule of appointments at his Com modore Hotel headquarters ended with luncheon. The whole after noon, according to the schedule, . was to be “devoted to staff con ferences.” After reading the schedule to newsmen Tuesday, Press Secretary James C. Hagerty said, “That’s all I know.” The question arises,” a news man said, “about .MacArthu*.” “I haven’t anything to say,” Hagerty replied. “Are they going to meet this week ” “I haven’t anythinug to say.” “Have they met?” "No.” “Has this office been in touch with MacArthur?” “I haven’t anything to say.” “Will you let us know before they meet?” “I have nothing more to say.” “But you told us yesterday you’d tell us in advance.” ‘That was yesterday,” Hag gerty, a cordial and efficient press relations man who accompanied Eisenhower on his 22,000 mile trip to Korea. It was while Eisenhower was in Korea that MacArthur an nounced in an address that he has a “clear and definite” solution to the Kfl'ean stalemate. Enroute home, Eisenhower mes saged MacArthur that he was look ing forward to informal meetings with him, and MacArthur replied his service was available.

Adair’s Men’s Shop “And that." ah* said, "Is your way of saying It's all ovar? YouTa ghrlng ma tha go-by; letting me down without trying to hurt my feelings? Well, this is a shock! And yet I should have known. Men of your Stripe haven’t been exactly missing in my young life!” Duarte Lamom, who sat on the opposite side of the desk, tapped a cigarette on his thumb nail. His fingers trembled slightly as be applied the match; the screen of smoke from his cigarette served as a curtain from behind which he could scrutinize the girl, at the same time shielding his own face. But the screen was soon wafted away, and the full power of the girl’s eyes were upon him. Duane Lamont dropped his gaze. "No need to take it so hard. Heloise. After all, we mean noth ing to each other.” "So that’s it. I’m a show girl, and you’re the son of an eminent citizen of our fair city That com bination doesn’t work, eh? You’re letting me down—after all 'we’ve been through together People are beginning to talk, and you’re afraid. Well, you did have the cour age to face me'with the n. ws " ‘‘You make me feel like a crim inal, Heloise. After all. I was U ! to you during the time we v* . .e er—engaged.” "Which means?” "Which means, if I want . be nasty, I could point to s shall we say, irregularities, in >\ . devotion to me." "Such as?” "Grant Eastman. I have reason to believe you played around with Grant a good deal, suppo; ing . d course, that I was unaware fit the fact.” "Have you spoken about the matter to Grant?” "Of course not Grant is a gen- tleman. His family and min* have been friends for yean. I—that Is, Grant would never understand that it was serious between you and ma. Ha wouldn’t believe that it mat tered to me whether or not he waa interested in you." "Duane, you’re despicable! You’re vile! Your mind is so rotten that you’ve come to believe other people’s minds are no better. l»or- - tunately I’ve been a^le to see ' through you, to realize what a weak, sniveling, minus-sign you really were. I’ve been able to read the handwriting on the wall and I’ve prepared for It. A slow, red wave mounted in Lament’s cheeks. He stared at her stupidly. Incredible, shocked. "Heloise,” he said at last. "I’m glad you said that. I’m glad you’ve shown your true colors before it’s become too late.” # "Too late for what?” ’Too late to warn Grant, to ap prise him of the true type of girl you are, to advise him to stop see ing you before you involve him with some underhanded method!” Heloise was on her feet. And now Lamont saw that she was laugh ing, saw that her sorrow had been all a ruse, saw that she had b^en playing with him. There was only contempt in her eyes, contempt and leof pity She leaned forward and tweaked h .s ch n ‘Little boy, you’d better n.e now and tell mamma ■n naughty." She stepped iptly began to laugh. One • ic door; | the other, slim id, she extended outward t the youth could see the ;r band that encircled the t . ; uivger dut I wouldn’t say. anything to GranU” t she was saying. "I wouldn't tell him all those nasty things He might not like it. In fact. I’m sure he wouldn't. For, you see, all this past month dur ing which you've been punishing me by letting me alone Grant and I have been married!” Florida's Citrus Crop Endangered !
