THE ALMANAC
Down in the Southeast, a major railroad has pro-
posed to reduce the rates charged for carrying grain—a
- step that would give poultrymen and livestock raisers
T a"break they sorely need. Also, the reduced rates would
flower the cost of certain basic foods to the consumer.
■w But the Tennessee Valley Authority, which wants
• - the grain to move by water, has protested and is at-
tempting to block the reduced rates. TV A has made a

Water carriers around the country have been espe-
-eteU’y active in attemoting to stop railroads from com-
vpetitively pricing their transportation service. They
‘‘“have claimed that the rails intend to haul the traffic
at less then cost. This is absurd on the face of it—for,
as one railroad leader has put it, “As financially hard-
pressed as they are. the railroads are in no position to
carry freight at a loss.”
Railroads ask the right to compete, and to be treat-
" ed with equality under law—nothing more. Only Con-
'tgress can provide that. So far it has failed miserably.

Greatest Thriller
tv TEW YORK—It I* powibla, even probablq,
1M that Pearl Stillman la the only-woman
In the world who aver turned ddwrt An invfc
tation to a party tossed by Frank Sinatra.
Mrs. Stillman, a handsome and articulate
gal In her 40a, who’a married to a retired
Wail Street tycoon and spends half the year
traveling to all comers of the world, waa too
busy to go. She had a painting to finish.
An abstractionist-impressionist, Mrs. S. is
one of the beet-known workers in oils in Man-
hattan—without starving in a garret, in the
classic manner. Matter of fact, she - often
paints in her cellar, where she has rigged up
a studio and uses only an incandescent lamp
to see by. A snap of the fingers to the bust-
ness about northern light being rfe rigeur, ■ *
I am told that Mrs. Stillman’s canvases are fine, but when we
get into the realm' of the abstract, I’m lost. I only can quote
Jack Benny, who bought one of Pearl’s paintings labeled "The
Cat and the Fiddle.” Jack eyed it in his familiar, thoughtful
manner, coughed politely and then said, “Excuse me, Mrs. Still-
man, but where exactly is the fiddle? Or the cat?”
* * * *
WHAT MAKER PEART, really an unusual painter Is that all
the proceeds from the sale of her oils go to a Mexican orphanage.
That’s where Benny's $1,500 check (handed over *fter a half-
hour lecture on abstract art by Pearl 1 went. And thats where
your money will go if you pay the $100 or the $7,800 needed to
purchase a Stillman masterpiece.
“We visited this orphanage on a Christmas Eve once,” she
says, “and it was so sad, it made me cry. There were 50 little
boys—so neglected that they wrote letters to ‘Baby Jeaus' ask-
ing, not for toys, but for clothing and food. We bought them
80 pairs of shoes and now we’re trying to finance mattresses
for them. They sleep on straw.”
Oeorgie Jessel bought one of Pearl's paintings, w'hich was of
a bam in Rockport, Mass., that may be the most portrayed bam
in the world. Artists always are limning it. Jessel said, “Thank
God I can recognize it for a bam." Such cracks-don't- bother
Pearl, who smiles and says, “It s what the artist puts in nf him-
self that makes his work creative, not just slavish reproduction.”
• • « •
BROKERAGE FIRMS around town have some of Mrs. Still-
man’s work, possibly because of her husband’s former connection
with The Street Merrill, Lynch, Pierce, Fenner A Smith, for
example, has “Nude With Ticker Tape ”—posed for by an actress
who now is a Broadway star but made the au naturel scene for
Petal because she needed the money.
Dean Martin met the Stillmans in Palm Springs and, she says,
offered her ten grand to do a family portrait of the Martins. Sho
turned him down politely. Like most painters, she’s had unfor-
tunate experiences with people who insist she beautify them in
the painting. —; *
Artists, Mrs. 8. adds, “are the only real people, They are tho
leaders. What remains of any civilization except its art? I
want to paint the way I feel, without anybody telling me what or
how to paint.”

bathing trunks and my spade
and bucket and come on down
to Nassau. So of course 1 griped
like hell. So then they unbut-
toned and told me I was to
team up with you down nere
and 1 thought maybe if that
chief of yours, N or M or what-
ever you call him, had sent you
down here there might be some-
thing cooking in the pot after
all. So 1 picked up the gear
you’d asked for from Admin-
packed the bow and arrows in-
stead of the spade and bucket,
and here 1 am. And that's that.
Now you tell, you old sleuth.
Hell, it's good to see you.”
Bond took Leite: through the
whole story, point by point from
the moment he nad been sum-
moned to M’s office the morn-
ing before. When ne came to
the shooting outside his head-
quarters, Leiter stopped him.
“Now what do you make of
that, James? In my book
| that's a pretty funny coinci-
dence. Have you been fooling
j around with anybody’s wife
lately? Sounds more like around
the Loop in Chicago than a mile
or so from Piccadillv"
Bond said seriously, “It makes
no sense to me, and none to
anyone else. The only man who
might have had it in for me.
recently that is, is a crazy man
i met down at a sort of clinic
place 1 had to go to on some
blasted medical grounds.”
Bond, to Letter's keen plea-
sure, rather sheepishly gave de-
tails of his “cure” at Shrub-
lands. ”1 bowled this man out
as a member of a Chinese Tong,
one of their secret societies, the
Red Lightning Tong. He must
have heard me getting the gen
on his outfit from Records—on
an open line from a call box
in the place. Next thing, he
damned near managed to mur-
der me. Just for a lark, and to
get even, 1 did my best to roast
him alive.” Bo.id gave the de-
tails. “Nice quiet place. Shrub-
Iknds. You’d be surprised how
carrot luice seems to affect
people.”
"Where was this lunatie asy-
lum?”
“Place called Washington.
Modest little place compared
with youra. Not far from
Brighton.”
"And the letter wan ported
from Brighton.”
"That'a the hell of a kmg
ahot."
"I'll try another. One of the
points our chaps brought up
was that if a plane waa to be
stolen at night and landed at
night a full moon would be the
hell of an aid to the lob. But
the plane waa taken five days
after the full. Juat supposing
your roast chicken waa the let-
ter-sender. And supposing the
roasting forced nun to delay
sending the letter while he re-
covered. His employers would
be pretty angry. Yes*" |

CHAPTER 17
AMES BOND'S taxi had ar-
rived at the airport. Bond
told the driver to wait and
walked unto the long low en-
trance ball just as the arrival
of Larkin’s flight was being an-
nounced.
He Knew there would be 'the
usual delay for customs and
immigration. He went to the
souvenir shop and bought a
newspaper. It was still leading
with the loss ot the Vindicator
aircraft. Bond was reading
when a quiet voice in his ear
said. “007? Meet No. 000."
Bond swung round. It was!
It was Felix Leiter!
Leiter. nls C.l.A. companion
on some ot the most thrilling
cases in Bond’s career, grinned
and thrust the steeJ hook that
was his right hand under Bond's
arm. "Take it easy, friend. I’ll
tell all when we get out of here
Bags are out front. Let s go. 1
Bond said, “Well, dammit!
You old so-an-so! Did you know
it was going to be me?"
"Sure. C.l.A. known all.”
At the entrance Leiter had
hia luggage, which waa consid-
erable, put aboard Bond’s taxi,
and told the driver to take ’t
to the Royal Bahamian. A man
standing beside an undistin-
guished-looking black sedan
left the car and came up. “Mr.
Larkin ? I’m from the car-
rental company This is the car
you ordered. We hope she’s
what you want. You did specify
something conventional.”
Leiter glanced casually at
the car. “Looks all right. I just
want a car that'll go. I’m heie
to do property work—not Jazz
it up."
“May l see your New York
license, sir? Right. Then tf
you'll lust sign here . . . and
I’ll make a note of the number
of your Diner's Club card. When
you go. leave the car anywhere
you like and just notify us.
We'll collect it. Have a good
holiday, air.”
They got into th* car. Bond
took the wheel. When they were
out of the airport Bond said.
“Now go ahead and tell. Last
time we met you were with
Pinkerton. What'a the score?”
“Drafted. Just plain drafted.
Hell, anyone would think there
was a war on. You see, James,
ones you’ve worked for C.I.A.,
you’re automatically put on the
reserve of officers when you
leave. Unless you’ve been cash-
iered for not eating the code
book under fire or something.
And apparently my chief just
didn't have the men to go round
when the President sounded the
fire alarm. So I and twenty or
so other guys were Just pulled
In—drop everything, twenty-
four hours to report.
“Hell! I thought the Russians
had landed! And then they tell
me the score and to pack my
“I suppose eo,” Bwnd replied.
"And supposing they gave
orders for him to be rubbed for
Inefficiency. And supposing the
killer got to him Just as he got
to you to settle his private ac-
count. From what you tell me
he wouldn’t have lain down un-
der what you did to him. Well,
now. Just supposing ell that.
It adds up, doesn’t It?”
Bond laughed, partly in ad-
miration. “It’s a damned good
sequence for a comic strip, but
these things don’t happen in
real life.”
•'Planes with atom bombs
don't get stolen In real life. Ex-
cept that they do. You're slow-
ing down. James."
Bond said seriously, “Well,
look here. Felix Tell you what
I’ll do. There’s lust enough
sense in your story, so HI put
it on the machine to M tonight
and see if the Yard can get
anywhere with it. They could
check with the clinic and the
hospital in Brighton, if that’s
where he waa taken, and they
may be able to get on from
there. Trouble is, wherever they
get, there's nothing left of the
man but his shoes, and 1 doubt
if they’ll catch up with the man
on the motorbike. It looked
a real pro* lob to me.”
“Why not? These hijackers
sound like real pros. It’s a pro
plan. It all fits all right. You
go ahead and put it on the wire
and don't be ashamed of saying
it was my idea. My medal col-
lection has got to looking a bit
thin since 1 left the outfit”
They pulled up under the por-
tico of the Royal Bahamian and
Bond gave the keys to the park-
ing attendant Leiter checked
in and they went up to hia room
and sent for lunch.
••The major decision is to pay
a visit to ths Disco—now,”
Bond said. "When we’ve done
that, well have to decide
whether or not these people are
hunting pieces of Sight or $00,-
000 000 pounds. Then we’ll have
to report progress"
Bond waved at th* packing
