Joyful Reunion
ASSOCIATED PRESS REGRETS
In the comparative lull between the end of the war i
Europe and the time when operations in the Pacific will be
approaching their peak, the news of the coverage of the
European peace story gets an unusually fine break.
Now the story of Ed Kennedy and how he covered the
peace and trot there first with the news is apparently com
plete. Kennedy admits that, in sending out the news which
had been given him in confidence (as it had been given to all
other correspondents), he broke his promise. The other cor
respondents kept the faith, which is why Kennedy was able to
score his scoop.
When you consider the means by which is was achieved
it is nothing of which a news gathering organization could be
reasonably proud. Any football team can make yardage if it
is offside or if it is holding. And the word that comes jrom
Robert McLean, president of Associated Press, Kennedy's
employer, is the sort of comment that one would naturally
expect from an organization of its high reputation. McLean
says :
"Associate Press profoundly regrets the distribution on
Monday of the report of the total surrender In Europe, which
investigation now clearly discloses was distributed in ad
vance of authorization by supreme allied headquarters.",
There has been considerable editorial controversy over
the right and wrong of Kennedy s action. The McLean state
ment, admitting the wrong, leaves little reason for prolong
ing the debate that has been going on.
LESS TAX ON PROPERTY
When Deschutes county's budget is completed it will re
quire, to meet one of the items of expenditure, a levy sufficient
to yield $44,01)0 for the county school tunil. J his is the fit)
per capita for children of school age which for years has been
collected by the county and distributed to the school districts.
In the coming fiscal year, however, comparatively little of the
levy will be paid as property tax. Chiefly it will come from
state income tax revenues. Just how much will be paid on
property is something for the accountants to comimte.
The shifting of the major part of the payment from "prop
erty to income will result from the state aid for schools law
which came out of the 1944 legislature. It provides that the
$10 per capita payment shall be made out of surplus in the
state general fund remaining after previously legislated com
mitments have been met. ' .
At first glance it might appear that this would completely
onset tne county levy. However, it must be remembered that
the county must levy enough to yield the budgeted amount.
This means that allowance for tax collection losses will have
to be made. In other words the levy must be greater than the
amount which the law requires to be raised. When the state's
payment comes jn, supposing that the full $10 per capita is
available from surplus, it will bo not more than $10
per capita. The levy will already have been made and the
state's money will be an offset against it. So it seems there
will still be sonje of the levy which yvill have to be spread on
the rolls.
The money which this residual levy produces will prob
ably be useful a few years from now when the state general
fund surplus, if any, is insufficient to make up the full amount
which must be raised.

Eunice Sawyer was In the kitch
en when Julia and I came down
on Friday morning. She looked
as. large as ever, but she moved,
e noticed with real grace. "Will
you have Farina or Cream of
Wheat?" she asked us quietly.
This was something Mrs. Guptill
always decided for us.
"Farina," we told her.
The door-opened and she glanc
ed up nervously. It was Boshy
wun tne milk, wnen she gave us
our cereal, we saw that it was
Cream of Wheat.
We looked at each other wisely.
All that day I kent sneculatine.
Suppose they met. Would they be
very calm .' would he say "How
are you?" Or would they still be
mad? Maybe they wouldn't speak
at all. Or maybe he would come
right out and berate her for the
past. "I'd be a different man today
if you'd stood by me. ..."
After school I went Into the
cellar where Julia was sitting,
eating a doughnut. "Wouldn't you
like to know?" she said. I didn't
need to ask her what she meant.
I knew.,
"Of course," I said, "he might
Just happen to come down to the
kitchen."
That night we chose a good spot
on the stairs and waited. Once
her work was done, Eunice Saw
yer acted very uneasy. She had
her hat and coat on for a good 10
,minutes before her husband drove
into the yard.
We went to bed very disap
pointed. a
It was cold the next day and
Mrs. Guptill took on terribly.
Things had come to a pretty pass,
she said, when you couldn't keep
warm lit bed. Every time some
one went up to re fill her hot wa
ter bottle she had a long list of
reminders ready. She ought to be
down there herself, she reiterated.
She knew everything was beldam.
II wasn't. By 3 o'clock the
shelves were lined with Baptist
Cakes, Apple and Boston Cream
files. I he beans were drinking
their last water. The notatoes
were sliced, the fish boned and
ready for chowder.. At 3:30 Julia
and I found Eunice Sawyer sitting
by the table, her hands folded.
"Come upstairs and rest in the
parlor," Julia urged. There was
Just a possibility that Mr. Tapley
might have come home early
from the store.
"No, thank you," she said. "I'm
comfortable hero."
"It's lots nicer upstairs," I put
in.
Hut she was determined.
We had almost given up hope
when we went into the cellar.
"Maybe he'll go down there to
night." Julia .suggested.
1 shook my head. There wasn't
much hope.
"i cuuld make him," Julia boast
ed. "How?"
She thought a minute. "I could
tell him there was some Boston
Cream pie left." Mr, Tapley had
a weakness for pie.
It was a real inspiration.
The dinner was a ureal success.
The Odd Fellows were so pleased
that they called my father into
the dining room, where he made

rushed over to the hall,' where
the Rebekahs were giving a so

to get Mrs. Guptill settled for the
night. Eunice Sawyer was alone
in the kitchen. Her husband
would be coming soon, . . . We
would have to hurry.

"You stay right here in the serv
ing room," Julia told me, "with
the kitchen door open. He'll eo
down through the cellar. He al
ways does."
She started for the office. I
could hear Eunice Sawyer mov
ing around, getting her things to
gether. The snap of her rubbers
over her heels. Her breathing,
heavier as she straightened. The
click of her coat button against
the table. A little whispering
sound as she drew on her gloves.
It wasn't long before I heard
Mr. Tapley coming down the of
fice stairs, lightly, slowly, because
of the dark. Julia crowded in be
side me. "It was as easy as thnt,"j
sne ooasien, snapping a linger. ,
Tho cellar door opened. .
We leaned forward. We didn't
want to miss anything. Would he
call her Eunice or Mrs. Sawyer?
He didn't call her anything.
There was a tight, frightening
snence mat went on and on.
I began to be scared.
Eunice Sawyer started up the
stairs as if she was scared, too.
"Wait." It must have been Mr.
Tapley, for no one else was there,
yet it wasn't his voice as I had
ever heard it.
"No. No. I was Just going."
"Wait. Please." Tho voice
sounded humble now, almost pit!-'
ful.
She was half way up the stairs.
"I shouldn't have come but for
owing the doctor."
"Stand still and let mo look at
you."
I closed my eyes. Even then I
saw them. Mr. Tapley, his stained
teeth and yellowed fingers. His
head, almost bald. Eunice Sawyer,
heavy, faded. ... I felt shame as
though I had seen nakedness.
We heard the sound of bells.
