• Riding a horse is one thing ...
climbing out of bed the next day is
another thing.
Sunday seemed such a good day
for it. It was nice and sunshiny and
we hadn’t been on a horse in over
Grix months and we said to our
“roommate Let’s go.
Strangely enough she said Yes
so we went down and waited an
hour for the bus.
We had phoned Lilius stables and
said to have two horses for 1:30.
S When the bus came we got out
to Fair Park and discovered the
stables were in another direction.

BATTLE FRONTS IN OPEN MEET
WASHINGTON, Oct. 29— -
In a trust - in-God-but-keep-the-
powder-dry mood, a number of sen-
ators today endorsed a proposal that
the United States acquire perm-
anent military bases wherever need-
ed for defense.
There were some, however, who
professed to see such a course as
leading toward a general grab
among world powers for focal con-
trol points.
Senator Russell (D-Ga) is the
latest to bring the frequently dis-
cussed proposition before the sen-
Marylander said this country has
no ambitions tor additional terri-
tory or populations, as such, but
only needs the rights to fortresses
at strategic defense spots
“If we need these bases now, in
the present stage of development
of the airplane, how much more
will we need them when the alr-
lane becomes literally an air-ship?"
he asked.
• • •
Senator Pepper (D-Fla- observed:
"It's obvious we have to do one
of two things. Either all of us
have to start grabbing, or we've got
to build the kind of a world where
no one will have to grab."

We waited for a bus.
And if we hadn’t started walking •
awe would be there still. And it
“might have been a good thing.
At any rate we walked the rest
of the way and it was after 3 o’clock
when we came around the curve
and saw a bunch of cars and horses.
They gave us a number and told
was to wait until two horses came
in.
We did and they did and they
were white and one was named Ice
Cream and the other was named
Frank.
• We rode Ice-Cream.
Ice Cream was tired and didn’t
much care about anything and he
was particularly bored at the
thought of trotting or galloping or
doing anything but walking . . .
(slowly.
But Ice Cream was not dumb.
When we brow-beat him out of a
walk he would step into a trott and,
if enough pressure was put to bear,
a gallop.
He would trott stiff legged until
Gour teeth threatened to let go and
then after some hesitation while he
did something with his feet, he
would break into a gal-lop gal-lop
gal-lop that would plow up a field.
After that threshing we decided
a to do it Ice Cream’s way and just
walk ... slowly.
Frank was, or rather seemed to
be, Ice Cream's brother. But he had
a stubborn streak and It was set-
tled in his mind that he would
@leave the stables for 45 minutes but
at the end of that time he was
coming back.
So in 45 minutes Frank was head-
ing back to the stables. But he was
so subtle about it that my room-
. mate was not aware of the fact.
• As we approached the stables we
said we still have 15 minutes to
ride.
Roommate said Really, well let's
don’t go back to the stables right
now.
% Obviously Frank wasn't paying
any attention.
Frank just kept plodding along

awhile.

Judge Peter J Brancato looked

“This seems like a right sensi-

Johnson (D-Colo), a member of
the military affairs committee.
"We want everything we need
to protect America. I think our
base on Bermuda is especially
important. New Caledonia, how-

might get us in trouble, like
the Philippines did.”
