LONG. before he completed his examination of Alexander, Ros ser knew that he had to own this horse. Money was no object. He would give every dollar he had in his pocket and more.

Leach scowled at the hostler. '"Get back to your nap, Amos." 'The hostler went off and Leach dropped his voice to a confiden tial whisper. "Horse has a little flaw. ... He can't stand to have any other horse pass him." Rbsscr shook his head. "I don't need charity." , "All right, pay mo more." .'Three, hundred?" "He's yours." . Rosser continued to frown. "For some reason you're trying "to place me under an obligation. What do you want!" "Your friendship." "That's all?'1 '.'That hard to believe, Rosser? "I won $500 last night. . . ." "About what I lost." Urisser made a sudden decision. "I'M buy the horse from you. For ,the $500 I won last nigm." "You own Alexander." "I also want a saddle."

He trotted the magnificent horse out to open country, then eal ually put him into a fast run, winding up in a gallop.' He took the horse back to' the stable. Leach was gone, but he turned him over to Amos, the hostler. "He's all you said ho was and more." ' . When he stepped out of the stable, Rosser saw the sheriff. Wes Parker, bearing down oh him. "Saw you riding Alexander," the sheriff remarked. "I bought him." Parker loolced at him sharply. "Everybody in Great Plains has tried to buy that horse from Leach. He wouldn't sell." ' Rosser grinned. "You one of the people who tried to buy Alexander?" "Why not?" "All right, Sheriff, t paid $300. What I won last n'.giit and what Leach lost." "Leach plays cards with Char lie Hoddcr and Jcsh Mnody." "I suppose that means some thing." , . PARKER grimaced. "They're what you might call the respect able element in this town ..." ; "Which side are you on, Sheriff?" "Thai's a good question. I've even asked it of myself. J came to town two months ago and someone suggested. 1 put my name up for sheriff. . . ." "Who suggested it?'' . "Not Riley Condor. He wasn't here at the time." Parker nodded rd Rud's saloon. "Ken Rud. And to save you time, I'll answer (he next question. Yes, ttua ana Condor are as thick as as thieve. I can only add to that lhat I knew Rud Elightly Some Khrushchev Hails Soviet Dam As 'Great Victory' By HENRY SHAPIRO KUIBYSHEV. U. S. S. R. (UPD Premier Nikita S. Khrushchev hailed as a "great victory" Sun day the construction of the world's largest hydro - electric power station by the Soviets in one - third the time taken by Americans to build the Grand Coulee Dam. Khrushchev spoke al cere monies opening the Kuibyshev Dam on the Volga River 500 miles east of Moscow. He re ferred only briefly to the situation in the Middle East where he said the threat of war is "still very acute." The Soviet premier taunted the United States for the length of time it took to build Grand Cou lee in the state of Washington, He said it took 20 years to build Grand Coulee "the most fam ous American station" while the Kuibyshev station took only seven years. Ho said the speedy construction of the Kuibyshev Dam which measures almost 3$ miles across and backs up a 2,502 square miie S i f JOT Wxsp.

House Group Pushes For Nuclear Shelter Program WASHINGTON (UPD A House subcommittee released a hitherto secret study today estimating that most of us nearly 1(10 million persons would be killed in an H-bomb raid now on 150 Ameri can cities.

"You were in Dodge?" "Passing through. I was driv ing a herd from Denton, Tex., to Wyoming. Rud had a place in Dodge City." Parker smiled crookedly. "Next question?" , Rosser shook his head. "I've asked about three more questions than I have a right to ask of a man I've only known for a day." "All right," Parker said cheer fully. "Now answer just one question for me? Why are you in Great Plains?" Rosser shook his head. "You don't like the answer 1 gave you yesterday?" "Not especially." "1 wonder what kind of break fast Mary Donley serves," Rosser said evenly. AS they left the restaurant, Flon came toward them across Ihe street. . He was grinning wickedly. "Riley's back," he said, as he came up. That's supposed to mean something?" Rosser asked. "He wants to talk to you." "I'm staying at the hotel." "You're pretty big," said Flon, but take off the gun and I'll take you to Riley." "Why don't you try lamng me gun from me?" Rosser chal lenged. Flon smiled al the sheriff. "You see, Sheriff, he's trying to make trouble "Seems to me you're the one looking for the fight," Parker said sourly. "Me? Why, 1 aon i even carry a gun." "You crippled a man less than two weeks ago." , "With my bare hands." "You're not going to break any of my bones," Rosser said warm ly. "I'm warning you about lhat right now. You touch me and I'll put a bullet into you." "See, Sheriff?" , "Go back to Condor," the sher l said, "tell him Mr. Rosser refuses to sec him." , "No," said Rosser, "I'll go to him." (To Be Continued) j.i m f r 1 1V. ! t ' fects of a nuclear attack pre. pared by the Rand Corporation, a research concern that does top secret research for the Air Forcoi' The House military, operations subcommittee, in releasing the study, said it was made by the Rand Corporation on its own and not with government money. The subcommittee, which long lias urged a 20-billion-dollar nu clear shelter program, renewed its appeal witli release of the study. H said failure of. the ad ministration and Congress to adopt the program has put the nation in "mortal danger." Rep. Chet Holifield (D-Calif.V, subcommittee chairman, told United Press International that blind economy by the Eisenhower administration was blocking the shelter program. "We spend 40 billion dollars a year for defense and it gives us no final defense," he said. "We gamble everything on the idea that our retaliatory power will prevent an atomic war. But what if it doesn't? The 'nation has virtually no civil defense at all." The Rand Corp. study did not specify the degree of prepared ness in individual cities nor name the 150 cities. But expert wit nesses before the subcommittee back by Holifield said there was virtually no preparedness in any American cities.
