,, . 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.
He came out . of the stall to
meet . Joe Leach descending a
"ladder from, a room over the
stable. He was in his undershirt,
'but. had put on his trousers and
boots. , . ... '
"How much?"

' , Rosser's eyes went to the night
hostler. "Didn't someone offer
, you. four hundred for him?"
. ."Some people talk too much."
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."

Joe Leach watching,
mounted
him and rode out upon the street.
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

And to save you time, I'll answer

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

measures almost 3$ miles across

"You were in Dodge?"
"Passing through. I was driv

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

"With my bare hands."
"You're not going to break any

I'll put a bullet into you."
"See, Sheriff?" ,
"Go back to Condor," the sher

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.
