DISPLACED PERSONS PROBLEM . . . More and more Americans
are becoming increasingly aware of the moral responsibility that is
theirs—and all humanity's—in finding homes for the displaced persons
of Europe. Congressional legislation to permit DPs to enter the U. S.
is one possible step toward a partial solution. Here, Sen. Homer Fer
guson (Rep., Mich.) discusses such pending legislation with eight DPs.

Footsteps
En the Dark
By
HELEN BEMIS
j A T FIVE-THIRTY P.M. as usual,
George Madison left the First
National bank of Crosstown. He
started up the busy street with that
deliberate tread of his, then swung
! back to the corner. It might look
I suspicious to change his ways to
: night.
"The same, sir?" asked old Tim,
i blind since the battle of the Marne
in World War I.
"Yes," said George, wincing as
j his nickel banged the tin cup.
"A bit cool for April," offered
j Tim, handing up the Crosstown
Evening News.
"Get to know
weather, don't
we—being out in
it every day like
j me an' you. Say—jus' how many
j years you been cornin' from the
i First National to get my papers?"
George started, paled. Couldn't let on
to the old fool that after tonight he
wouldn't be around, couldn't explain
that after tonight he d be a free man, a
man Q f means, no longer a slave. Only
thing you could call a bank teller, wasn't

it?
"Its—its about 15 years, came
{rom George>s dry lip *.
« No doubt the bank folks are
pretty fond of you by this time,"
commented Tim. "They're mighty
nice to me, too—from the president
down."
"Yes, of course," chopped out
George, swinging away.
Mrs. Murrey's gloomy boarding
house irritated him more than ever
tonight. But after warm food and
lively table conversation with the
other boarders, his confidence rose.
He was able to let himself into the
First National that evening, nearly
as calmly as he'd done hundreds of
former evenings. Only this time he
would not be working overtime for
his superiors. Just for himself,
Finally, he was stuffing big rolls
of currency into a traveling bag. He
hoped his luck would hold, that
Henry, the night watchman, would
doze in the back room, as usual.
His luck did hold. It held so well it
was uncanny. Even his aged auto
mobile ran perfectly till close to
daybreak, when he abandoned it
and hopped a fast freight for the
west. His chief objective now was to
reach a certain man highly skilled
in plastic surgery, a man who'd do
anything for a price.
EORGE MADISON now became
James Farnum. His hair was
bleached white, his upper lip was
smooth-shaven, his once good-look
ing nose was unpleasantly aquiline.
Even his voice was higher pitched.
He not only looked different, he felt
different. He was rich.
In Alaska, he went into fur trad
ing, became surprisingly prosper
ous. He remained a bachelor and
avoided making close friends. Three
years of this and he grew restless.
He went to Chicago, then to New
York and took in the best shows
and night clubs. He ran *nto Ed

First National of Crosstown. He
talked with him at length and
wasn't recognized.
So he decided to return to Cross
town and take a look around. After
all it was his home.
He put up at the Crosstown hotel
with no questions asked. In the hotel
lobby, on the streets and in the
shops, he was treated like any
stranger.
One day as he passed the bank,
he saw old blind Tim sitting on his
customary corner. Tim was selling
a newspaper to a strange man.
"Guess I'll drop a five spot in Tim's
cup for luck," decided George. It
gave him a warm feeling inside to
be going toward old Tim again.
But as he paused before him, Tim
leaped up and grabbed George's beauti
fully tailored sleeve. He cried, "George
Madison! It's George Madison!"
"Let me go! I'm James Far
num!" exclaimed the terrified
George, trying to pull away.
"What a break!" said the strange
man, holding out handcuffs. "I've
been looking for you a very long
time! Thought you might blow back
—they generally do!"
"Plain clothes, eh?" sneered
George. "I'll prove you're wrong—
I'll sue—I'll—"
"Can't fool me," piped up old
Tim. "Î get to know a man's foot
steps after hearing 'em for 15
years!"

N. Y. Court Decision Holds
Test-Tube Baby Legitimate
NEW YORK. — A supreme court
justice ruled that a child born as
the result of artificial insemination
is legitimate.
The ruling was made by Justice j
Henry Clay Greenberg in deciding
that the estranged husband of Mrs.
Julie Strnad, 31, had a right to
visit her daughter, four-year-old An
toinette, who she said was a prod- !
uct of artificial insemination.
Mrs. Strnad claimed that her hus-1
band, Antoine, 42, was sterile since
birth, an allegation he denied. She
sought to prevent him from seeing
the child on the ground Antoinette
was not the offspring of her
mate. She had won a separation
decree and principal custody of the
child last October.
