One problem is to stimulate
more rapid Japanese rearmament.
Another is to settle a growing
and serious dispute over fishing
rights and other issues between
Korea and Japan. A third is to
settle the status of Okinawa,
which Japan wants back, but
which American officials say is
vital for the long-range aerial
defense of the United States.
At the same time a basic blue-

THE December dusk deepened.

clouds hung like a threat over the
buildings where now the round
yellow lights shone, New York’s

stood by the window, looking tar
down to the street. Dark, dwarfed
figures scurried along the walks,
and the traffic stopped and started
at the click of red and green sig-
nals. All seemed unreal. all seemed

Charlotte shuddered. Now the
night had come to cover the sin-

She carried her coat and hat
and went out to the washroom.
She went through the motions of
washing, putting on fresh make-
up, combing her hair. All around
her were the giggling girls chat-
tering about beaux and clothes
and Friday-night dates, and the
older clerks, telling each other
about their tired feet. One by one
they all left.
Charlotte went back through
the Miss Manhattan department,
past the counters shrouded for the
night, the well-dressed manne-
quins, then down the corridor to
the office. Everywhere the empty
silence surrounded her.
Now tt was six o’clock; the
charwomen would come through
this floor at six-thirty and be gone
by seven. And what about Sam.
the watchman? Didn't he usually
come a little after seven? As far
as she could see it wouldn't mat-
ter if they saw her here. She'd
simply pretend to be working.
But seven-thirty, at the latest,
she’d have the place to herself.
Meanwhile, she’d clean out her
desk, not to leave anything per-
sonal behind.
She began to go through the
drawers, but presently the quiet
seemed almost ominous. She
wished the char and Sam would

WASHINGTON, Dec. 15 (P) —
Vice President Nixon has a
briefcase full of problems, all
studied at first hand, to spread
before the National Security
Council, perhaps today.
They deal with situations he ex-
amined in 70 days of travel and
conversation with heads of gov-
ernment and plain citizens in
Asia, the Middle East and the
Pacific. These range from Aus-
tralian unhappiness over some U.
S. trade policies to the risks that
a truce in Indochina would bring.
The council, composed of top
officials of the executive depart-
ment responsible for national
policy at the highest level, has
first call on Nixon’s report on the
trip that ended yesterday. Later
this week and next he meets with
congressional leaders and State
Department officials.
Nixon said President Eisenhow-
er would decide whether there is
to be a radio-TV report to the
nation. He had a preliminary talk
with the president yesterday.
By regions, here are some of
the problems on which Nixon is
prepared to report to the Nation-
al Security Council:
1. South Pacific—Australia and
New Zealand, both strongly pro-
American. are worried by what
they call "discriminatory” trade
restrictions against their wool
and dairy products. Nixon pro-
mised to report their protests,
with the reminder that domestic
American politics had to be con-
sidered.
At the same time, these two
countries voiced strong opposi-
tion to the rearmament of Japan,
a basic point in America’s de-
fense program for the rest of
Asia.
2. Far East—Nixon was told
that Japan, bursting with a tem-
porary economic boom, is about
to reassert its leadership over
Asia. Economically, however,
the Japanese face the problem
of developing greater new mar-
kets, to offset their dependence Peter Stewart, executive vice-
upon the areas now under Com-1 president and general manager of
out, ana it Sain and the chars
were in another part ot the build-
ing, only echo would answer. Even
it you screamed out the window,
the sounds ot the city would swal-
low your voice.
But why should she need to call
out or communicate?
She sat tense and listening and
peering Into the shadows beyond
the omice What had some poet
raid were the three quietest things
— weren’t they tailing snow. a kiss
and the lips of a dead man?
Why did she have to remember
that?"
The clatter of the typewriter
would overcome the quiet. But
she couldn’t think of anything to
write. unless she wrote out of the
turmoil of her mind, helping to
clarify it. She began.
Tonight, (she wrote) I shall
try to slip tree of the leash at
last. Tonight while King waits
for me at the restaurant, I shall
go into his office and look for
the recording of my confession.
I almost know it’s there in the
file: ms glance in that direction
was an unconscious giveaway.
I’ve often wanted to kill him,
my own venom has frightened
me. I've even thought about the
ways. I who couldn’t bear to
swat a fly or kill a moth could
kill him coolly—as I think he
could me. Well, tonight when I
get the record (it I don’t, then
that’s another version)...
Just then she heard the welcome
sound effects of the charwoman,
the thump of wastebaskets being
emptied, the clatter of mop and
pail. She slipped what she’d writ-
ten into her purse and inserted a
fresh sheet of paper.
The char came into the office
and leaned on her mop. "Sure and
you’re working late, miss.”
“Not really," Charlotte said. “I'm
meeting, someone a little later
around the corner, so I’m just
killing time here. How about
you?" She turned the tables. "Do
you work at home before you
come here?”
“That I do, and me with seven
kids and a husband. But I'm that
glad to get out of the house at
night!" She moved about the of-
fice, dumping ashtrays and flick-
ing her dustcloth. She went on
down the corridor, cotton stock-

ings twisted about swollen ankles.
Charlotte wished she wouldn't
go, it was as if this fat, worn
woman were her last link ... What
did she mean, last link? Besides,
Sam would be coming through
shortly. Anyhow, how silly could
you be? She wanted to be alone,
didn't she? Nevertheless, she sat
straining to hear, keeping in touch
with the char as the sound effects
faded farther and farther away.
She jumped when Sam spoke.
"Well, now, Miss Morgan, what
keeps you after school?"
“Nothing, really, Sam. Just a
date later on. Let’s see, you'll be
downstairs again by eight, won’t
you, if I ring for the elevator
then ?"
“Yes, ma’am, be right up to get
you."
“Aren’t you ever scared around
here in the middle of the night,
Sam ? Aren't you afraid someone's
going to jump out at you?"
“That's like being afraid of a
bear in the woods The bear'd run
fast. Nobody wants to meet the
night watchman. Still and all. if I
were you I wouldn't make a prac-
tice of hanging around here alone."
"I won’t, Sam. I don’t think I’ll
ever do it again.”
“Bundle up when you leave, it’s
getting mighty cold outside. Snow
before morning: I can always feel
it in my legs.” He moved on down
the corridor, out of sight, turning
off lights as he went.
And now Charlotte’s heart flew
up fluttering, and she arose on
limp legs. It seemed a great dis-
tance to King's office.
She stood in the shadowy room.
There was enough reflected light
to locate the file, her fingers could
feel for the record. It would be
like King to put it in the most log-
ical place. But what was logical—
C for Charlotte or confession ? M
for Morgan, P tor private, R for
Record? She'd take it alphabeti-
cally, she had time, hadn’t she?
Why this hurried, breathless sensa-
tion?
Charlotte struck a match and
opened the C drawer. Her fingers
groped through the papers. There
was a tightness across her chest,
and she realized she’d been hold-
ing her breath. She caught at it
and tried to swallow. The record
was not in the C drawer.
