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.

“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

id, she extended outward

;r band that encircled the

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!”
