Privacy Of Belief

A disturbing tendency runs through many current investigations, 
that of inquiring into opinion and belief. Traditionally, what
a man believes, or does not believe, is his own affair; he is publicly 
accountable only for the way he acts. The struggle against
internal Communism has had the result of confusing things which
should be separate; yet it should never be overlooked that questions 
as to whether an individual is or is not a Communist are not
primarily directed at how he thinks. They aim to discover whether 
he is part of an apparatus which disciplines him beyond hope
of thinking honestly at all.
The way we are tending was illustrated on Monday by Senator 
McCarthy's line of questioning in his investigation of the Voice
of America. The director of the Voice's religious broadcasts, Roger 
Lyons, found his religious beliefs the matter at issue. In brief,
was he or was he not an atheist? Mr. Lyons denied that he was;
but the real issue, it seems to us, was whether he had conducted
his section of the Voice's program effectively and efficiently.
Mr. Lyons' job, as we understand it, has been to broadcast
religious news from this country, shaping our reports to a worldwide 
audience which includes every religious faith. Knowledge
of the various religious understanding of their aims would seem
the important requisites. The individual's, belief, here as elsewhere, 
is important only in so far as it might affect the competence
of his work. To apply a religious test to this post is to invite its
extension to others, and thus gradually to undermine one of the
basic liberties of, the country.

MEALTIME MELODIES!
BY GRACE WATSON
In recent years in California and
especially Hollywood, the curry dishes 
have been increasing in popularity 
for informal entertaining.
Curry dishes have become so popular 
that a hostess will say, "I
think I'll invite them to a "curry,"
the word having come to designate
a special kind of sociable.
A curry is a party 
featuring a buffet 
supper built
around one or
more curry dishes,
and presented on
a table with a display 
of accompanying 
dishes
that, in variety,
compare with the
Swedish-smorgasbord 
which we discussed 
last week.
A Curry dish gets its name from
a seasoning which is a powdered
combination of herbs and spices including 
green ginger, cariander

seeds, Cumin seeds, garlic, turmeric,
chili and pepper corns. Basically it
may be classified as a stew.
The vivacious and charming actress 
Marguerite Churchill is noted
among the Hollywood set for her
curry parties. It is said that she sets
out as wonderful an East Indian
Curry as anybody known.
Here's a chicken curry recipe that
is sure to get Miss Churchill's approval. 
Serve it with fluffy rice and
your favorite condiments.

CHAPTER TWENTY
KATHLEEN hadn't Known of
Denny Rawls illness when she lay
down. Now that was an added
worry. If anything should happen
to Denny—
She checked the thought, realizing 
that it Would be dangerous to
follow it far. But it he was sick,
she might be able to do something 
for him. And if he was well
enough, he should Know about this
stranger from nowhere who, emerging 
from a wilderness, looked
as if he just stepped from a bandbox, 
and called himself The Sky
Pilot.
Rawls answered her knock on
his door, and sat sleepily up when
she entered the cabin. He was pale
and disheveled, but he protested
that he was feeling better.
"Something upset me," he said.
"I'll be all right" He eyed her
sharply. "is something wrong.
Kathleen?"
"I don't Know," she confessed
"But I'm uneasy." She explained
about DeMoss, and before she had
finished, Rawls was on his feet,
looking grim.
"Of course we could be mistaken,
Out I seem to detect an odor of
rat here, too," he agreed. "Let's
have a look at him."
Schuyler DeMoss's eyes harrowed 
as Rawls approached with
Kathleen. Most of the day had run
Its course, a bright day of sun and
cloudless shadows reaching out
from the cottonwoods along the
shore. The country had changed
during the hours while Rawla slept.
The river valley was less broad
here, the green wall of vegetation
not so dense, allowing occasional
glimpses of enticing meadows beyond. 

But these were offset by the fantastic 
nature of the higher hills
Showing behind — rugged bluffs,
weird and unbelievable, a succession 
of badlands which would endure 
for days as they progressed.
Rawls studied them briefly, then
turned his attention to the pilot.
DeMoss, who had been unaccountably 
silent bowed.
"Captain Rawls," he said "this
is a delight to which I long nave
looked forward, meeting the greatest 
riverman of them all I trust
that your indisposition is not serious?" 

Rawls ignored the compliment
and question alike, replying with a
blunt question of, his own "So
you're bald, eh?"
"Bald as an egg. Cuplam. As a
peeled onion. And, though perhaps
unjustifiably vain—"
"That part I wouldn't doubt."
Rawls grunted With a quick gesture, 
he whipped the hat from DeMoss's 
head Earnshaw trowned in

surprise, and Astrid gasped at the
indignity. It was exactly as The
Sky Pilot had proclaimed—he had
a completely hairless head.
But the removal of his hat
seemed to have wrought a transformation 
in the man. For a moment 
he glared at Rawls, startled
and uncertain, lips drawn back
from snarling teeth, turned ugly
in a second. Then, giving a violent
twist to the wheel, he went into
action.
It seemed as incongruous as for
a rabbit to turn and tight, and
somehow doubly terrible. From
nowhere he produced a long-bladed,
wicked-tooking Knife, and he
sprang at Rawls with murderous
intent. Astrid screamed, Rawls, unarmed, 
was in the path of a madman, 
moving too fast for anyone
else to intervene.
It happened fast. Astrid closed
her eyes to shut out the sight, but
Kathleen watched closely, and yet
she could scarcely follow it. Rawls
did not step back or aside. But
his foot shot out the boot toe
struck the pilot's knife arm and
bounced it like a rubber ball held
short in its jump by a string. The
knife clattered on the deck, and
Rawls leaped ahead.
Again the little man was like a
rabbit, dodging nimbly. He evaded
Rawls' clutching hands, reached
the side and was off the boat in a
leap, sending the water splashing
high in the same moment the
 staggered to a Jarring
shock, throwing everyone on board
off their feet.
By the time Rawls could regain
his own footing, DeMoss, hairless
head bobbing, was nearing the
shore. A moment later he splashed
through the shallows and vanished
amid the undergrowth.
There was no time for him then.
The engine was racing, the paddle
wheel churning furiously, the
 quivering like a creature
that had received a mortal blow.
Rawls shouted down the tube for
full speed astern, and twisted at
the wheel. But as he had expected,
the reversed paddle wheel still beat
helplessly. The  was hard
aground.
What the devil—" Earnshaw
gasped., bewildered by the suddenness 
of what had happened. "Did
 do that?"
"He armed to wreek us, and no
telling yet how close he's come to
doing it," Rawls grunted "Better
tade a look and see it there are
any leaks. And arm everybody on
board, fast, with plenty of ammunition!" 

Earnshaw took a look at the inhospitable 
bank, now, hardly a
hundred feet away, and made haste
to carry, out the last part of the

instructions. Rawls gazed about,
revived somewhat By a freshening
breeze across the water, one which
swept away the mosquitoes that
had begun to descend almost as
soon as the packet came to a stop.
He felt weak and sick from the
day to illness, but there was no
time to think of himself.
But how did you Know there
was anything Wrong with him?"
Astrid demanded. "He was a white
man, and tie told a straight story.
He tooled everyone else, even
Father," she added thoughtfully.
"And Mark Whirter. How did 
know?"
"That he was a renegade? Three
ways," Rawls explained. "First, his
clothes. They could only have come
from a looted boat or wagon train."
"But he explained that—"
"If they'd floated in a box to the
river, they wouldn't have been in
such fine shape. And then his lack
of whiskers—"
"He was smooth-shaven," Kathleen 
nodded. "And that struck me
as queer, that be would have had
a chance to shave so closely."
"It would have been more than
queer. But he wasn't smoothshaven. 
He was hairless—with the
whiskers pulled out by the roots,
the same as the Indians do. That
told me that he was a renegade
who had turned Indian."
"I never thought of that," Earnshaw 
confessed sheepishly. "But
the trouble started when you
jerked his hat off. What did that
mean?"
"I wanted to see his head, because 
he didn't want us to have a
look at it. Part of it was hairless,
all right—where the hairs bad been
pulled out—but there was a ridge,
where the scalp lock had been left
He'd done the best he could with
that, shaving it close, and it would
have fooled most people into the
idea that be was bald. The trouble
was that, even with a berry stain,
it still showed pale compared to
the tan on the rest of the top of
his head—where, if the always wore
a hat, the sun should never touch.
When I pulled it off, he knew that
the jig was Up."
"Then he—he was sent to lure us
to destruction!" Astrid felt weak.
"But he—he seemed such a gentleman. 
He used such good English—"
"He hadn't forgotten that, which
makes him useful as a stool
pigeon," Rawis agreed grimly.
"He's the worst sort of renegade—
one who turns against his own
people all the way, after having
had ail the advantages. Probably
he had a record that would hang
him it caught, so he had to go to
the Indians. He liked that life,
and went all the way."
