...Okinawa. It favors return of Okinawa to Japan, but for the moment the steam seems to have leaked out of that issue. Major Socialist demand: that the U.S. pay for all land requisitioned by the military with monthly rentals (which can be adjusted upward) instead of a one-shot, lump-sum payment. If their demands are not met, the Socialists can point to a disquieting fact: the Red-led Minren, despite their poor harvest of seats, polled 28% of the total vote-a higher total than any other party...

With a slight tightening of the lips (and Kissel's shotgun), she can down eight brace of prairie plover in seven shots (five doubles and two triples). Has a "neat, graceful competence" in scalping Indians. Fond of husbands, but is apt to have them shot out from under...
