The first time the handsome, husky saxophonist was ready to lay down his baton, Dick properly placed the blame for the public's lack of interest on bad management.

"Sorry, I've a date tonight with Paul Hayden, the press agent. It's business, you know, and -" I COULD look at him coolly now, feeling a strength within myself. There was no longer need to be afraid either of him or of myself. My world no longer was endangered. He was standing, his face a mask. "I was a fool, I guess," he said slowly. I looked away from him, nodded. "Perhaps-perhaps you were, Bill." It was cold and cutting and cruel but I was sure it was best. Bill just looked at me, not saying anything.

I'd given free rein to the pent up feelings within me. I was sorry because I hadn't wanted to hurt him. But I knew I was right. I was being wise, smarter than most young women would be. I could see how pale his face was, the taut line of his lips. "I'm sorry, Sylvia. I'm afraid I came to the wrong address."

ALMOST before I realized, he had opened the door and started down the steps. I called after him, "Bill, don't let's part this way. We might at least be friends." He halted and turned. "Friends?

He'd grin his gay, lopsided grin, looking a wee bit foolish, and terribly, terribly proud. And happy. Because he would be happy, now. Perhaps he'd been happy all these years without me-how could I tell? How could I tell, except to remember his face the night I had left him, remember big Michael, who was so strong, crying out like a frightened child, "Don't leave me, Norrie -you might as well kill me outright!"

Now you can see the people you hear in one of radio's distinguished serial dramas, broadcast over the NBC Network Monday through Friday, sponsored by Ivory Soap

Against the Storm has been called one of the best propaganda shows on the air. Its fundamental message is the extreme urgency of united victory over fascism. From "somewhere in Denmark," comes the voice of Freedom Radio, broadcasting to the world the defiance of the Danish people to their Nazi enslavers. Even knowing that swift death would be their penalty if discovered, Torben Reimer and Ebba Fielding, helped by Nathan, bravely continue working for Denmark's underground movement. KATHY REIMER came to America to seek refuge from the Nazis. In reply to the thoughtless remark that "Hitler has done a lot for Germany," she says, "I can tell you what he did for the German people! He held them up at the point of a gun, took their children from them, poured poison into the minds of the new generation, harnessed them all, the young and the old, to his insane machine of war. He put Germany into slavery, and he sent the slaves out to enslave others, and to war against everything decent and free in the whole wide world. That's what he did for his people, and never, never let anyone tell you anything else! Is the persecution of one human being not sufficient to condemn a man as a criminal? His Nazis have persecuted and murdered thousands, in cold blood. Suppose he had built the most wonderful national order ever conceived,'would you say it was justified, if the ground of his nation were soaked with the blood of innocent people? And that maniac did not try to build a great nation. He built a slave state, whose one purpose is the destruction of all free states everywhere." (Played by Charlotte Holland)

24 RADIO MIRROR MARK SCOTT, English instructor at Har- per University, answered a girl student's bitter question about the war, like this: "It's much easier to look at history and say, there's always been war, than it is to take a real look at history and figure out why the wars happened, how the wars were different, or how they were alike. There have been wars and wars. And no war for centuries has been founded on any spontaneous urge of one people to rise up and do battle with some other people. It has never been as easy, or as hopeless as that. Wars have happened for reasons that can be, and will be preventable in the future. When the United Nations have won this war with guns and blood, they'll do what we didn't do after the other war. They'll guarantee the victory by building a people's world in which the germs of war will be known and isolated. And war will not have to happen again. Just as surely as people do not have to die of diseases that used to be considered fatal. It'll take work, but no more work than war does." (Played by Chester Stratton)

DR. REIMER, a scholar exiled by the Nazis, lives in New York. Over seventy, he has begun a new life without bitterness or despair. Of his feeling for Amer- ica, he says: "The measure of my love for this land and this people is 'the love I had and I shall always have for the land and the people of my birth. At my age it is painful beyond words to be cast out of home and home -land; the hope I had of walking along the familiar streets again, of talking with old friends and sitting in remembered rooms again, is made less tenable by the fact of my years. Sometimes I could cry out with the horrible pain of home- sickness. Surely the homesick- ness will never leave my heart. But as that is a longing for the good things, the beauty and the joy we once knew in our daily life, so it can and it does serve always to remind me that wherever there are people of good will, there can be beauty and joy even for the lonely." (Played by Phil Clarke) 25 TORf3EN REIMER is Dr. Reimer's grandson, and of EBBA FIELDING, an American - Danish girl who at- course, Kathy Reimer's brother.

MANUEL SANDOVAL (left) is another refugee from Europe, who escaped with the help of the anti - Nazi German, Belgian and French underground. The memories that torture him are not of his own suf- ferings alone. Rather, he thinks of the comrades "who did not live to know again what it is to f eel the sunshine of a quiet, peaceful day; to know again what it is to feel clean, washed, dressed in decent clothing." He thinks of them every day, "when I eat good food, when I drink a glass of good clear water." This is what Manuel wants to tell as many people as he can reach on his lecture tour: "Your brothers died so that people forever may have the right to eat good food, and drink clear water and work in peace. We must see that no one forgets. Every person who lives in a free nation today lives there by the grace of another human being's courage and mortal sacrifice. Russian, British, Chinese, American, Dutch, all anti - Nazis everywhere . . . each day with their lives they buy a free future. How can we ever forget ?" (Played by Michael Ingram)

NATHAN, "before Hitler" was a genial warm -hearted young Ger- man, destined by nature for a happy and useful existence. He became one of the persecuted. His fiancee was killed by the Nazis. Like a few others in the world's fantastic real - life drama of today, he was able to find his way to a place within the Nazi Machine. In the deadly pre- carious position of an assumed Nazi who tries to fight them from within their own ranks, he is in Copenhagen now as a Gestapo agent, on the trail of Torben's secret station. His real purpose is to help the station. With tragic and terrible reason to hate, Nathan has still been guided by the words of an old friend, a Rabbi, who was later murdered. "Remember what one of the world's greatest leaders said when they took His life ... `Forgive them, for they know not what they do.' You see? It is ignorance that makes men cruel. Turn your hatred into a relentless fight against ignorance and cruelty." (Played by Ian Martin)

IOver and over she pictured her husband's eyes as she had last seen them -full of hatred because in her selfish passion she had destroyed the thing he loved in Detroit all winter instead of running down to Palm Beach for two months, and things like that. But I didn't know poor as Peter meant it. h We saw each other constantly for two months. And one day, eating hamburgers, he asked me to marry him. It popped out, without his thinking. He said later if he'd known what he was saying, he'd never have been able to do it. "You don't know what you're letting yourself in for," he told me tenderly-but terribly seriously too. "You don't know what poverty's like. You'll have to learn to cook and scrub -" "That will be fun!" "You'll be lonely. I can't afford to take time from work to see people -" "I want to be just with you!" "You'll live in an isolated place, with no one around but me." "Wonderful!" "You won't have any new clothes -" "I'll be happy in rags with you, darling!" He kissed me and it was like being on a cloud, above the world. And I thought it the most romantic thing in the world to be in a tiny cottage, shut off from everybody else, with Peter becoming a famous scientist and me one of those wonderful wives of great men you read about. father tried to warn me. "I like Peter Morris," he said. MY"He's got everything I want in a man for you. But he's going to have tough sledding -and so are you, baby. I've done the best I could to bring you up without a mother, but I'm afraid I've turned you into a spoiled little helpless kitten. You see it now as romantic. You're going to find it's grim. Do you honestly think you've the courage to take it ?" I laughed. "But I love him, Daddy, and he loves me. . . ." He grinned, a little wryly, and pulled my ear. "Just remember, Ellen, life isn't like the movies." We were married quietly in the garden at home and we went to live in the cottage on the shore of one of the many small lakes around that part of Michigan. Hardly anybody lives out there all year round, but Peter did because the house belonged to an older chemist who was interested in Peter's work, and rented it to him for almost nothing. There was one large room, fixed up as a laboratory with tanks of gases and all kinds of gadgets I couldn't understand; then there was a small living room, a tiny bedroom, a good -sized kitchen, and bath. It was tacky -but for the first three months it was heaven, too. Peter had to teach me to cook, even to sweep, and we died laughing over the messes I served on the table and the messes I made trying to clean. It was winter, and there was adventure in driving the old jaloppy into the village for our once -a -week marketing trip. Peter explained we could drive in only once a week, except for emergencies, on account of gas and money. I thought it was like pioneering, and sort of cute. We skated on the lake and had snowball fights and made love to each other and it was paradise. Peter talked a lot about his work. "It's vital not only to me, but to our country, Ellen. If I can work out a decontaminating gas, it will revolutionize chemical warfare. There won't be any more poor souls with their eyes blinded and their lungs eaten out. It will neutralize the enemy weapon -the sneak weapon." "It's wonderful, darling. You're so smart. And then you'll be famous and we'll be rich." He laughed. "No. But if I succeed, I'll be working for the government and we won't have to live off savings any more. Lord, if I can only get it! I've made mistakes -plenty of them -but this time I think I'm on the right track." He threw himself on the sofa beside me and thumbed impatiently through his notebook. "If I can only make this come out right!" I looked over his shoulder at the hieroglyphics. "How long will it take ?"

I'd go out and look at the sunset and think about the life 1 used to have. Now / was lonely and bored, for every day was the same.

RADIO MIRROR "If I'm lucky -a year. If I'm not -" he shrugged. "But 1'11 keep on till I get it if it takes all my life . . . Look out, honey, you're tearing the notes. They're the only copy I have." "Oh, pooh-forget the old notes. You've been working all day, and it's Friday night. Peter, you know what let's do? Let's take the train into town tomorrow and spend the weekend with Daddy and go dancing and see some people and have some fun. I'm tired of just cooking and skating and cleaning house." He looked as if I'd suggested flying to the moon. "I can't do that, Ellen. I have to work." "You don't have to work all the time," I pouted. "Please, Peter -I want to go into town." "All the time, Ellen. I told you that before we were married. It's like being in the Army -in fact, that's why I'm not in the Army. I explained that. Besides, a little jaunt like you suggest would cost more than we can afford." "But Daddy would pay for it. He'd like me to have some fun." He threw the notes on the table and stood up. "We've been over that before. Once and for all, I will not accept a penny from your father. I'm no gigolo! You knew I was poor and you agreed to live on my money." "But this is different. You're just being silly -" That started it. It was the nearest to a quarrel we'd ever had. Oh, we made it up -with kisses and promises and self - condemning apologies. But though I forgot about the quarrel, I didn't forget about being lonely and bored. Especially when the warm weather started. I was sick to death of learning to cook, and the underdone meat and burned vegetables with which I graced our mealtimes were no longer hilarious to either of us. Cleaning house made my hands rough, and there was more hard work than romance in keeping the place neat and shining. And spring -why, spring always meant a new wardrobe and I didn't even have a new hat. Not that that made much difference. We never saw anybody. Looking back on it now, it seems impossible that I, Ellen Morris, could have held such thoughts. It's like remembering a girl you once knew and didn't like, a silly little person who valued all the wrong things. But that's because I've learned my values the hard way, with suffering, pain and doss -the only way, I suppose, one ever learns them.

DIDN'T have enough to do. At first, I'd sat in the lab and I watched Peter work. It amused me-he was so unlike my picture of a chemist who I'd always imagined as absent -minded and stoop - shouldered and smelling of horrid mixtures. Peter's shoulders were straight and powerful. He dashed about the lab like a commuter catching a train, with an intense con- centration that locked him away from all except N4hat was in front of him. That was why I got tired staying in there. What was the fun, when he took no more notice of me than of the air he breathed? "Peter -I'm restless." "Why don't you go weed the garden ?" The garden! Four rosebushes somebody had planted years ago. At first I'd weeded and watered them furiously. Now I was sick òf them. Or he'd say, "Why don't you go over and talk to Mrs. Fisher ?" She was our only neighbor, the farmer's wife from whom we bought milk and eggs. She was a good- natured, untutored soul and all she could talk about was canning and babies. So I'd go out and look at the sunset and think about the life I used to have. Stuck way out here, with every day just like the last. When Peter got so impatient he started working even in the evenings, I thought I'd go crazy. Work, work, work. Nothing could be that important, I told him irritably. That was when he suggested I spend a week in town with Daddy, alone. "I know this is hard on you, honey. You're used to people and excitement and all. Why don't you take a little vacation from it ?"

Now Bruce was free of that responsibility, but soon he would be drafted -and rather than wait for that to happen he enlisted Ferenc touched my hand in a in the ground crew of the Air Corps. swift light caress, and said, The first I knew of this decision was "Now you know. Goodnight." when he came into the office where I worked for Dr. Dale, radio's "Counsel of Common Sense," and announced that he had passed his physical examination and soon would be inducted. In a panic at the thought that I might lose him forever, I begged him not to postpone our marriage any longer, and Bruce was upon the point of agreeing when Dr. Dale walked in. And after Bruce left the office, Dr. Dale advised me strongly not to rush into a marriage which could offer so few days of happiness. Dr. Dale was good at advising people; that was his profession on the air; and now he was able to present so many sound arguments against marrying a man who would soon be in the Army, that when I left him I was torn and confused. Bruce sensed this confusion when we met that evening, but he didn't understand the reason for it. He didn't realize, any more than I did, that our long, frustrated love for each other had made us not quite sane.

took me one day when he had dropped into my office at closing time. "If it is gone, then -" he shrugged, "it is gone." "But maybe it isn't," I answered stubbornly. Across my mind were racing words that I would write to Bruce, to bring back the dream - passionate words of remorse and love and longing. Surely then Bruce would answer what was in his heart. "I have to know!" I said it aloud, urgently, so that Ferenc reached out his hand to cover mine on the smooth dark polished wood of the table. "You will know," he told me gently, as if reassuring a child. Then softly, his brown eyes shining, "If you truly wish to know, you will receive a sign." Those words came back to me when I had left him and was climbing the steps to my rooming house door. What sort of sign? Would it be in a letter from Bruce? That letter for which I had waited ten days? I felt the familiar choking suspense as I pushed the door open and ran toward the hall table. I was getting used to the sensation, and to the sickening slow deflation when I found no letter there. But today was different. I saw the picture on the postcard, a colored photograph of a fighter plane. My hand went to it slowly, and stopped almost in dread of finding that it was for me. I did not want mÿ first message from Bruce to be written on a picture postcard! But that was his round, uneven boyish writing on the back. I studied the address, telling myself his hand had written it, trying to get a thrill from the idea. But it was not there.

"It's a real celebration," I told him. "What are we celebrating ?" I felt something dangerous about the question as I asked it. He said, his brown eyes warmly ar- dent, "It is better first to celebrate. Then it becomes easier to find the reason." I thought of that later while we danced. If I had meant only to have this one date with Ferenc, I should never have danced with him. Oh, I had got on well with Bruce, but this -well, it was more than dancing! Just as in food and drink and flowers, Ferenc put art into each step he took; he found his own graceful, original patterns for expressing the music which seemed to pulsate all through his body. The steps were not simple, and it took all my skill to follow him, but that was part of the thrill. I could feel my body relax and become more and more sensitive to every move he made, so that one current seemed to flow through us controlling our two bodies together without our conscious will. We danced until the two orchestras, one after another, began to put their instruments into their cases. But the glow of remembered rhythms lingered in all my nerves and muscles, and when I walked home with Ferenc through the darkened streets it seemed only natural that my hand stayed in his, our steps still matching, so that I a Stai) seemed to float in an unreal world of Ñolly`voo enchantment.

Slowly the FOR JOFT, ADORABLE HAND$ evening came back to me in a series of pictures slightly blurred, their lack of clearness filling me with fear. What had I done? I turned my face to my pillow. I didn't want to know. 52 RADIO MIRROR Somewhere a clock was striking, and half -consciously I counted the strokes. Nine o'clock! I was all awake now, rushing and praying that Dr. Dale would not be at the office ahead of me. But I had hardly sat down at my typewriter before I heard the door open to the inner office. Without looking up, I said, "I -I'm sorry. I overslept." He laughed. At the cheerful sound I looked up in surprise. He said amiably, "Everyone should experience the luxury of oversleeping sometimes. If you'll pardon my interest, I rather thought when that young man invited you yesterday that you might have the sort of evening that leads to oversleeping." "Did you ?" I stared at him. His round pink face was beaming and. there was not the slightest criticism on it. He approved! To my dark mood this was astonishing. He nodded benignly. "He strikes me as the sort who would know how to make a lady's time pass swiftly." "Oh, he does," I murmured, dazed. If Dr. Dale was actually pleased to see me going out with Ferenc, why should I feel guilty? "Yes," Dr. Dale went on genially. "Intelligence is a quality women tend to underrate in the opposite sex. If they were wise enough to realize how much more lasting satisfaction they could get from masculine brain than from brawn, there would be more happiness in this world." Gb I told myself he was right. Why shouldn't I enjoy a pleasant evening with Ferenc?

The thrilled expectancy lasted, minute through minute, sharpened by every sound, made unbearable by any ringing bell. But none of the bells was for me. When the minute hand of my alarm clock passed six- thirty, I began to wonder. What could be keeping him? Maybe he had decided to go to a hotel and get spick and span in fresh clothes before he saw me. Ideas I had been pushing to the back of my mind now wouldn't stay put. I looked ahead and let myself think of the possibilities of this night before me. Our one night, with so much to tell each other, so much to explain, so many barriers to dissolve between us! Maybe there was only one way in which we could make this short time wipe those barriers out for good; one way to make sure of each other so that we need not suffer the doubts of these past weeks. Bruce and I had never been much for words, but this way we'd have little need for words. Surely it would not be wrong, with only one night given us, not to waste it? Surely the war had made it right to give this gift to the man I loved?

I told myself that he had stopped to buy me something, some very special thing that took longer than he expected. When he came I must be sure to give him full appreciation, not to begrudge the time.

He told me his full name and I knew that later in the day I could find out what hospital his parents had been taken to and meanwhile I could take care of him myself.
