Speaker 1 (00:02):
CBS News a formal announcement is expected tomorrow as the
Pentagon makes plans to close the military bases and eliminate
several thousand civilian jobs to save money. Good Evening, This
is Doug Polling reporting.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
On the CBS Radio Network.
Speaker 1 (00:17):
CBS News Pentagon correspondent Ike Pappas reports the Defense Department
sources save bases in some twenty states may be eliminated,
and at least eighteen thousand military and civilian jobs could
be affected. Pappas says the Army wants to close two
basic training centers, Fort Dix, New Jersey and Fort Jackson,
South Carolina. Several Air Force and Navy installations may also.
Speaker 2 (00:38):
Be shut down.
Speaker 1 (00:39):
United President and National reports that eighty five bases in
all would be shut down in a move to save
up to three hundred and thirty six million dollars a year.
Congressional opposition could be formidable. Senator John Tower of Texas,
the ranking Republican on the Senate Armed Services Committee, said
the Carter administration continues to whittle away at our national
security to our term. The military installation cutback plans short
(01:03):
sighted and irrational.
Speaker 3 (01:05):
More news in a moment, There's something you should know
about pain. Muscle tension causes most headache.
Speaker 2 (01:11):
Pain.
Speaker 3 (01:12):
Inflammation often comes with body pain such as muscle strain,
back ache, or if your doctor diagnosis tendinitis inflammatory neuritis.
Get Anison anison relieves headache pain, but more anison also
reduces inflammation while it relieves body pain. For muscle tension, headache,
or painful body ache, get anison anison reduces inflammation while
(01:34):
it relieves pain fast use only as directed. Hemorrhoids are
nothing to be embarrassed about. Sixty million Americans sometimes suffer
the pain in itch, and two of every three sufferers
use Preparation H In many cases, doctor tested Preparation H
gives prompt, temporary relief from occasional.
Speaker 2 (01:53):
Pain and itch of hemorhoidal tissues.
Speaker 4 (01:55):
Actually helps shrink swelling of tissues due to inflammation. If
you suffer occasional head emeridal symptoms, get Preparation H helped
shrink swelling as a relieves pain and itch.
Speaker 2 (02:05):
Use only as directed.
Speaker 1 (02:08):
A House Armed Services Panel has issued a review of
President Carter's decision to pull American troops.
Speaker 2 (02:14):
Out of Korea.
Speaker 1 (02:15):
The investigation subcommittee says Korea is the most volatile and
explosive place in Asia, and a basic American military force
should be kept there until North and South Korea sign
a peace treaty. Subcommittee Chairman Samuel Stratton, Democrat of New York,
says the presence of American forces in Korea is a
restraining influence.
Speaker 5 (02:32):
North Koreans. Provably militarily would have no trouble running over
the South Koreans and taking Soul within a relatively short time,
but they are reluctant to have to move over United
States troops, and so we felt those troops should remain
in Korea a basic force, and that would be roughly
(02:55):
I think about the two brigades that would remain after
the first six thousand wars were removed, should remain there
until real peace came in Korea.
Speaker 1 (03:04):
By a vote of sixty five to twenty two, the
Senator has gone on record in favor of delaying for
three months President Carter's proposed twenty five billion dollar tax cut.
The vote on the tax recommendation came as the lawmakers
continued to write a preliminary federal budget. Despite today's action,
one Democratic Senator, Wendell Anderson of Minnesota, said the president's
tax cut plan still has a good chance in the
(03:25):
upper Chamber.
Speaker 6 (03:26):
I think it's going to pass on the Senate's side.
We're talking about twenty five billion dollars. Seventeen of that
would go to individual's risk for corporations. I think that
most Senators feel the Social Security tax increase of last
December was a big mistake, and this tax reduction within
Marge measure takes some of the onus.
Speaker 2 (03:47):
Off of that and to do it.
Speaker 1 (03:49):
Today's news conference, President Carter said he does not intend
to delay or scale down his tax cut request. Officials
in Rome tonight issued arrest warrants for the suspected kidnappers
of former Italian Premier Althoo Moro. Still no word on
Morroll's fate, and the government continues to refuse to free
thirteen Red Brigade terrors in exchange for the ex premier's life.
(04:11):
Italian President Giovanni Leone said today his country faces a
wicked and bloody danger from the Red Brigades.
Speaker 7 (04:18):
Now this.
Speaker 2 (04:23):
The best interviews come out of the deepest research. Learn
a lot about the person you're talking to.
Speaker 1 (04:28):
CBS News corresponded Mike Wallace, famous for his candid interviews
on Mike Wallace at Large on CBS Radio. Recently, we
talked to Mike along with some of our other air
personalities and learn some interesting things about them all. Mike,
for instance, didn't set out to.
Speaker 2 (04:42):
Be a journalist. I was going to be an English teacher.
Speaker 1 (04:45):
While Sports Times Brent Musburger always knew that sports was
it for him. Nothing else really has been on my
mind since I was six years old. Today. In business
specialist Ray Brady started this way. I always liked to write,
and I got involved with doing local radio in it
just grew on me, the whole business.
Speaker 2 (05:02):
I liked it more and more.
Speaker 1 (05:03):
Wallace, Musburger Brady. Hear them another afternoon at evening broadcasters
like Walter Cronkite and Douglas Edwards Monday through Friday on
most of these CBS Radio Network stations.
Speaker 2 (05:13):
They're worth your time.
Speaker 1 (05:20):
Labor's Secretary of Marshall had his turn today as a
congressional panel continued hearings in the labor racketeering. In yesterday's testimony,
federal strikeforce officers accused the Labor Department of doing little
or nothing about the influence of organized crime in unions,
but Marshall says he is taking a problem seriously.
Speaker 2 (05:38):
He says the agents may have been.
Speaker 1 (05:39):
Exaggerating the extent of the problem, and he says he's
setting up a new special office of investigations.
Speaker 2 (05:46):
Missus Doug Polling, CBS News. You walk with your.
Speaker 1 (05:49):
Dog and you can be totally and honoring around.
Speaker 2 (05:52):
If you want to talk to yourself, you can talk to yourself.
I like sports because to me, sports is uncompetat. I
think what I do best is a sports now.
Speaker 1 (06:00):
So it's just understanding what's going on kind of a
sixth sets about.
Speaker 5 (06:03):
A word ago, what's a last going around at an interview.
Speaker 1 (06:06):
I guess I could call it a field for sports
if I didn't think that was.
Speaker 2 (06:10):
The best, and then I shouldn't be in this business.
Wayne isn't backs wants see.
Speaker 8 (06:16):
I'm Harlan Falk, chief parker for the Variety Club of Nebraska,
Cat Number sixteen. On April twenty eighth, twenty nineteen thirtieth
volunteers throughout the community, we'll be asking people to give
what they can to.
Speaker 4 (06:27):
Help local kids.
Speaker 8 (06:29):
It's a Variety Club's annual Tag Day, with all funds
raised to support the programs of the University of Nebraska
Myer Children's Rehabilitation Institute right here in Omaha, this tag day.
Won't you please give what you can cause? Kids right
here need help right now.
Speaker 2 (06:45):
It's nine oh seven.
Speaker 9 (06:46):
Time for the CBS Radio Mystery Theater.
Speaker 1 (06:52):
The CBS Radio Mystery Theater presents.
Speaker 2 (07:11):
Come in Welcome. I'm E. G. Marshall.
Speaker 1 (07:18):
It stretches from the North Pole in the Arctic, passing
one thousand miles west of the Hawaiian Islands all the
way to Antarctica and the South Pole. It girdles half
to glow vertically, but it is horizontally that its magic exists.
It is the one hundred and eightieth line of longitude
called the International Dateline, and its magic is this. Cross
(07:43):
it going west and you lose a day out of
your life. But pass it traveling eastward, and you gain
that day an incredible gift of time.
Speaker 2 (07:55):
Just think about it for a little while.
Speaker 10 (08:00):
A catlic Which life are you living?
Speaker 11 (08:02):
Now?
Speaker 2 (08:04):
Come on, let's not hacker around.
Speaker 1 (08:05):
I want to sleep, but not that long last sleep.
Speaker 2 (08:10):
I have two to go before that one?
Speaker 7 (08:14):
What one life, Steve Catlet you sacrifice.
Speaker 10 (08:18):
The other for the child you gave no chance to live.
Speaker 1 (08:31):
Our mystery drama International Dateline was written especially for the
Mystery Theater by Ian Martin and stars Michael Colan. It
is sponsored in part by aarm Allergy Relief Medicine and
Buick Motor Division. I'll be back shortly with that one.
The Electra is all washed and loaded and you're on
(08:52):
your way. You figured three hundred miles the first day,
but with all of Electra's luxury on room, you're out
four hundred miles before you know it. Not only that,
but the EPA mileage estimates are twenty two highway, fifteen city,
and eighteen combined. That's with the standard five point seven
liter engines and automatic transmission. Of course, your mileage will
vary depending on how and where you drive, your car's
(09:13):
conditioned and how it's equipped, and EPA estimates are lower
in California. But it's nice to know that a car
with as much prestige and elegance as Electra can also
be efficient. Buick Electra a car that can actually make
you look forward.
Speaker 2 (09:25):
To a long trend.
Speaker 1 (09:27):
Tach really sound you.
Speaker 11 (09:30):
Eliza County.
Speaker 1 (09:42):
Electro models are equipped with GM built engines supplied by
various divisions.
Speaker 2 (09:46):
See your dealer for details. It had been somewhere every day,
a blazing house and a fireman.
Speaker 1 (09:56):
Lee leaves beside an overcome chime. Come on, kid, if
when the eyes flutter open, when the breath finally comes
easy and regular, only then and the fireman relaxed, and
maybe take a little pride and pleasure from the special
gift he's been giving.
Speaker 2 (10:12):
Is a learned gift with.
Speaker 1 (10:14):
A big name, mouth to mouth resuscitation, and it can literally.
Speaker 2 (10:18):
Bring people back from them.
Speaker 5 (10:21):
He's gonna make it.
Speaker 1 (10:22):
Whenever you wonder where Red Cross money goes, think of this.
Part of your money goes to train people in all
walks of life to do what needs to be done
when the chips are really down. Maybe you'll never need
to be brought back to life with mouth to mouth resuscitation.
Speaker 2 (10:37):
Then again, maybe you will.
Speaker 6 (10:42):
Red Cross is counting on you to help me.
Speaker 1 (10:57):
If you're young enough, I suppose a gift to one
whole day twenty four hours is a small thing. If
you're old enough, it is a thing beyond price, even
if you're just sort of middling. It is a donation
from the gods that boggles the imagination to conceive what
it might mean and how it.
Speaker 2 (11:18):
Might be used. This is how one man was able
to use it.
Speaker 1 (11:24):
His name is Steve Catlet, but for many reasons everyone
knows him as.
Speaker 2 (11:28):
Cat This story begins thirty five.
Speaker 1 (11:31):
Years ago in a world gone mad, where most people
in the Western Hemisphere measured their life expectancy in days
or hours as death rained from the sky.
Speaker 7 (11:46):
What's the good word, Alfy? Not so good, Captain.
Speaker 1 (11:48):
The wife's gunners took one bed in the chest on
the tail section.
Speaker 7 (11:51):
Has gone a little gloater with it.
Speaker 1 (11:53):
Bombay, doors won't close?
Speaker 2 (11:54):
What about the landing gear?
Speaker 1 (11:55):
Now the churr has fixed that. Others all right, we'll
never get it down.
Speaker 2 (11:58):
The bomb's all gone away. Oh yes, after our calling card,
they're going to make it home. But give it the
old college try. She fries like lead. I can how
to keep her trim. We'll be over the channel in
a couple of minutes.
Speaker 7 (12:12):
Before we get there, you want.
Speaker 2 (12:13):
A Guinness Morton.
Speaker 7 (12:14):
Whoever's left better hit the silk and.
Speaker 1 (12:16):
End up a ruddy pow Not likely, not wild interest
still the round, So I see that that, or take
a back in the channel.
Speaker 7 (12:22):
I'll get you as you as old blady as I can.
What difference to you?
Speaker 2 (12:26):
I ditch her?
Speaker 1 (12:27):
I think I can answer for the rest of the chaps. Captain,
we'll take our chances with you.
Speaker 7 (12:31):
I would give you as I won't.
Speaker 1 (12:33):
I don't call you Kat for nothing that I could
be stretching my luck this time. I'll tell you what
Yank says. You boys took over the eighth Force. We
pittish types have been running a little pool. See, we
think that you always luck out. You have as many
lives as your name. He's thinking, you're right now is
six down and three to go.
Speaker 7 (12:53):
It's the port engine I left the Federer. Now if
we get on back there and Stripper.
Speaker 1 (12:58):
Roger get all the way over, Boy, you can't armaments, ammunition.
Speaker 2 (13:01):
The works and do and figure in, Kat.
Speaker 7 (13:03):
We're all riding on your luck.
Speaker 2 (13:07):
All my life.
Speaker 1 (13:08):
I've been lucky, well lucky enough to know that it
doesn't hurt to give the little lady a helping hand
as much as you can. Like when Professor Samuel has
caught me cheating in the college boards, it didn't hurt
to know that he'd been fooling around with Linny Strong
in the senior class.
Speaker 2 (13:22):
I would have gone on to college with.
Speaker 1 (13:23):
A straight be average too, if it hadn't been for
the draft. I lucked out there too, because I happened
to know old Horace Pool on the draft board was
also running a betting pool on the side.
Speaker 2 (13:34):
During my senior year. I shaved points for him on
the basketball games as playmaker.
Speaker 1 (13:38):
That was a cinch, and so he steered me out
of the infantry of Marines or any of the tough
services and into the Air Force.
Speaker 2 (13:45):
I had it all figured to fly a desk for
the duration, but that's one time my luck deserted me.
Speaker 1 (13:53):
You read me, I read you.
Speaker 2 (13:55):
How you doing you.
Speaker 7 (13:58):
Any legits?
Speaker 1 (14:00):
Where I was still losing altitude. I want you to
get rid of this radio and bail.
Speaker 2 (14:03):
Out over the channel. Wants to stigma, not a chance.
We're sinking like a stone.
Speaker 7 (14:11):
I want you all overboard while there's enough valet too
to open your shoes. You bail out, that's an order.
I want you go withness and leave an uncontrolled.
Speaker 1 (14:19):
P seventeen wandering around. My place is with the planet
good P'siouscibo.
Speaker 2 (14:28):
We were wallowing unsteadily. I could almost feel each member
of the crew as he jumped.
Speaker 1 (14:33):
But just as I'd hope that nearly a thousand pounds
of human cargo lightened the plane enough to give me
a chance to make land. Just another case of giving
Lady Luck a boost. I didn't envy the poor chumps
i'd dumped, but my skin was more important than theirs.
Now I could concentrate on getting it back in one piece.
Speaker 7 (14:50):
What is your tower?
Speaker 6 (14:52):
What is your tower?
Speaker 2 (14:52):
Emergency?
Speaker 7 (14:53):
Emergency?
Speaker 2 (14:54):
One? Is his little friend blue one?
Speaker 7 (14:56):
Do you read me?
Speaker 2 (14:58):
Do you read me? Over? Acknowledge? Am feathering one? Engine,
tail section half gone.
Speaker 1 (15:06):
I am somewhere southeast of you, altitude five thousand.
Speaker 7 (15:10):
And sinking fast. Can you get a fix on me?
Speaker 2 (15:14):
Impossible to see anything?
Speaker 1 (15:16):
Heavy overcast below, losing altitude fast.
Speaker 7 (15:19):
How about if I hold.
Speaker 1 (15:20):
The button down on radio and leave it open to hey,
hold it a minute.
Speaker 7 (15:26):
Cloud break.
Speaker 1 (15:28):
Yes, I'm over land, Holy Toledo, I'm right on top
of you. Hold your hats and stand by. I remember
the plane landing and ensuring sideways. Before I had time
to put the engines. I could feel what a nose
split it was, quiting desperately to keep my control.
Speaker 2 (15:49):
I remember it slithering.
Speaker 1 (15:51):
Sideways, straight for the control tower and resting her somehow
out of the skid. And as she was tipping forward,
there was a tremendous ripping crash.
Speaker 2 (16:13):
Excuse me, nurse.
Speaker 1 (16:14):
Yes, Flight Lieutenant Alfrey Patterson, I've got a chitch here
for Meddick says, I can say hello to my pilot,
Captain Steve Catlant.
Speaker 11 (16:23):
How do you now, flight Lieutenant, Your buddy Steve Catlet
isn't saying hello to anyone. What you mean You had
a pretty stiff crash landing about six weeks ago, bringing
in a be seventeen. He's been in a coma ever since.
Speaker 2 (16:37):
Oh yes, I know. I was his co pilot.
Speaker 1 (16:39):
If he hadn't made me and arrest bailout, we'd be
lying where he is now.
Speaker 2 (16:44):
Could I say a word to him?
Speaker 11 (16:45):
You can try, Lieutenant. Excuse me, lieutenant, and I hope
you can reach him.
Speaker 1 (16:56):
For a long time, I seem to be circling around
the deep, deep bowl that disappeared in the complete darkness
in the center of the Earth, round and down. I
went in a spiral in the dark until there was
no light and no feeling, no smell, no taste, just
nothingness except for the voice.
Speaker 2 (17:20):
You ready to come to me, Steve Catlin?
Speaker 12 (17:23):
No?
Speaker 1 (17:24):
Why not? Because I haven't lived out my life yet, which.
Speaker 2 (17:30):
My time here?
Speaker 7 (17:31):
You really believe that superstition of yours, mister cat.
Speaker 1 (17:36):
Why shouldn't I everyone else believes it do Yes.
Speaker 2 (17:41):
So must you? By now, Wow, you come for me.
Before when I had the scarlet fever, Yes, I could
have welcomed you.
Speaker 1 (17:49):
Then when a girl tried to kick my hat off
when I was six, and she swung too high on
the swing and the bolt fractured my skull.
Speaker 2 (17:56):
Yes, I was ready to welcome you.
Speaker 1 (17:58):
Then when the boy fired the rifle at me and
just missed my eye, I.
Speaker 7 (18:02):
Should have insisted.
Speaker 2 (18:03):
Then that was before, before.
Speaker 1 (18:05):
What before you change, before you began to stretch your luck,
before you've finally committed.
Speaker 2 (18:12):
Yourself to my care.
Speaker 7 (18:14):
No, No, you don't own me, not yet.
Speaker 2 (18:18):
You prefer to think so very well. I'll let you
run your least ship and love gun if the conceit
pleases you.
Speaker 10 (18:26):
You have new lives that your name missed, Cat, God
them carried me if you wish to stay away from me.
Speaker 1 (18:44):
And now there was a soft light, luminous behind the blackness,
on a cushion of air that was being carried slowly upwards.
In the beginnings of all my senses except sight and
voice were it to me. I was conscious of voices
talking about me far away.
Speaker 11 (19:04):
He's quite a guy, isn't he?
Speaker 2 (19:06):
Salt of ear? They don't come any better. I know
I won't see his like again.
Speaker 11 (19:12):
I don't see then?
Speaker 13 (19:13):
Why not?
Speaker 11 (19:13):
But sounds like an epic chat.
Speaker 1 (19:16):
Oh, Gord knows, I didn't mean it that way. The
last thing I'd want to see old Cat do is
cash and his chips. Anyway, as me and the boys figured,
it ain't time yet. He still has two lives to go?
Speaker 11 (19:29):
What does that mean?
Speaker 7 (19:30):
Steve Cattle?
Speaker 1 (19:31):
He's like a cat you know, whose manages to lend
on his feet. You know, our pursuit parrots keep us
care of all the Jerry's they've shot down. Yes, well
with Cat here, counting Chartood accidents and all the rest
through the blitz. We made a joke that up to
this last one he's used up six lives.
Speaker 2 (19:52):
This one here would be the seventh. So he see,
let's two to go.
Speaker 11 (19:56):
You think you come out?
Speaker 10 (19:57):
I do.
Speaker 2 (19:58):
It ain't his number yet? Why you and the docs
think he won't?
Speaker 11 (20:04):
Oh? I can't answer for the doctors, only for myself.
I don't think I know he will Oho, because I
wanted it so much, because I've prayed for it so
much ridiculous, isn't it a man? I've never really talked
to a man. I don't even know. No, that isn't true.
(20:28):
I've saved him, I've shaved him, I've trimmed his hair,
held him in my arms. There's something between us, a
bomb that can never be broken, not from my side anyway,
and I hope someday from his.
Speaker 2 (20:45):
He'd be a fool if he didn't grab it.
Speaker 1 (20:47):
Like a lifetime any man would be lucky to have
a woman like you, Lieutenant.
Speaker 2 (20:54):
What's your name?
Speaker 11 (20:55):
Elisa?
Speaker 7 (20:55):
Right up front?
Speaker 1 (20:57):
Monica's Affords or Faith for short.
Speaker 2 (21:01):
I'm pleased tonight you, Lisa.
Speaker 11 (21:03):
Thank you, Elsie.
Speaker 2 (21:05):
Thank it's him a cat.
Speaker 7 (21:08):
He moved.
Speaker 11 (21:09):
Look, he's t open his arm coming around. Yes, yes,
get to the nurses station and tell him to alert doctor.
Start and get him here fast.
Speaker 7 (21:17):
Roger, you get the doctor, yes, sir, Oh.
Speaker 11 (21:23):
Yes, he's dying. It's all right, it's going to be
all right. Come alive again.
Speaker 1 (21:34):
Suddenly the darkness was being stripped away, veiled by veil,
the dark smoke lifting, and the beginnings of light seeping
in behind my closed eye lids.
Speaker 11 (21:44):
Don't te don't be afraid it's all right, it's all right,
your home safe.
Speaker 1 (21:55):
At last I had the courage to open my eyes
and your face wham interview A.
Speaker 2 (22:03):
Oh here's something I wake up to. What where the
devil have I been?
Speaker 12 (22:09):
Oh?
Speaker 7 (22:10):
That doesn't matter.
Speaker 11 (22:12):
Just glad to see you back.
Speaker 2 (22:13):
Oh who are you?
Speaker 11 (22:15):
Lieutenant?
Speaker 8 (22:16):
Right?
Speaker 11 (22:17):
Your nurse.
Speaker 2 (22:19):
Too? Right? Oh, very right.
Speaker 11 (22:24):
I'm Captain Steve catlet us A F.
Speaker 2 (22:29):
Yeah, that's that's my name. Have I am I back
in the land of a living? Or how is this heaven?
Speaker 12 (22:36):
You're back?
Speaker 11 (22:37):
Either way? You figured it well.
Speaker 2 (22:38):
I could settle for either what you or on you.
Speaker 1 (22:42):
You got a first name, Lieutenant, right, Yes, Lisa, mine's
cat short for Lucky.
Speaker 2 (22:49):
It looks like I haven't broken my streak.
Speaker 11 (22:51):
You brought your plane home safe and some of the crew.
Speaker 2 (22:54):
I wasn't thinking of that. I was thinking about you.
Speaker 1 (23:01):
Somewhere along the line. I thought it was the end,
and now it looks like a great new beginning. The
luck still holds, of course. The essential thing about luck
is that it's a one way street, a pleasant and
(23:23):
rewarding ride for the lucky. But there has to be
the other side of it, the unlucky who come to
the street from the wrong side and are never allowed
to traverse it. What's ahead for Kat and Lisa, I'll
tell you when I returned shortly with that too.
Speaker 13 (23:41):
Life is for living and pieces there Tokyo, Paris, Yugoslavia,
the coast of Monika, kopy Hagen Lake at home and
(24:32):
abroad is the most widely recognized card.
Speaker 1 (24:35):
In the world.
Speaker 7 (24:37):
We're keeping up with you.
Speaker 9 (24:41):
If you're in business, I'd like a moment of your
time being in business.
Speaker 2 (24:45):
You know how competitive your industry is. You know that
to keep your share of.
Speaker 9 (24:49):

Speaker 1 (25:52):
Once Steve Katlet returned to consciousness, his recovery was breathtakingly fast.
So it must be admitted, was his relationship with his
nurse Lisa Wright. Within a week after he had come
out of coma, he was ambulance. Still with the history
of deep concussion. His doctors felt he should not yet
(26:12):
be alone, a situation which was most welcome to him
and Lisa.
Speaker 2 (26:18):
Ah to be in England now that June is here.
Speaker 11 (26:22):
You're misquoting Browning, He said.
Speaker 1 (26:24):
April he was an italy busy hanky panky with Elizabeth Barrett.
I'm here now and this is my month. What's the
name of this little slice of paradise opera?
Speaker 11 (26:34):
Whittlecombe on Tadsky?
Speaker 1 (26:37):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (26:38):
Is there a lower Whittlecombe?
Speaker 1 (26:39):
I both, But that's the Oh, certainly what we have
here is much too good for the lower classes.
Speaker 2 (26:46):
With one exception.
Speaker 11 (26:47):
Oh, what's that?
Speaker 2 (26:49):
When do we make it absolutely perfect?
Speaker 11 (26:52):
What does that mean?
Speaker 12 (26:53):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (26:53):
You know, Lisa, when do you move in with me? I?
Speaker 11 (26:57):
May be sharing my furlough with your sickly just to
make sure you take care.
Speaker 1 (27:00):
Of yourself, but as a nurse nurse companion. Well, of course,
when we dreamed up this little excursion, I thought of
you more as a companion.
Speaker 11 (27:11):
I hope, I am. I try to be well.
Speaker 2 (27:13):
The days are not so bad, but the nights are lonely.
Speaker 11 (27:17):
I'm right in the next room as you're back in car.
Speaker 2 (27:19):
Oh no, not quite? Why not the same room? Two
can live as cheap as one.
Speaker 11 (27:24):
Maybe the important word there is cheap. I know all
supposed to be fair in love and war, but it
doesn't work that way for me. I am the original
old fashioned girl. You ever get me, it's going to
be for good.
Speaker 1 (27:41):
I don't know how anyone so luscious can be so forbidding.
I thought you loved me, I do love.
Speaker 2 (27:47):
You are my heart, my soul.
Speaker 11 (27:51):
God. Unless you love me back as deeply and as strongly,
you won't want to give yourself to me as completely
as I would to you, and you shouldn't unless you're sure.
Once we've committed, I'll never let you call.
Speaker 2 (28:08):
And that's what I'm supposed to be scared of.
Speaker 1 (28:11):
That's right.
Speaker 2 (28:12):
A fate worse than death.
Speaker 11 (28:14):
Oh dear Lord, I hope it would never seem to be.
Speaker 1 (28:19):
They won't they come on, Lisa laugh. It's a pretty
bright occasion. I'm uh, I'm proposing, and for once it's legal,
moral and binding. We'll be married as soon as the
law lies cat why time.
Speaker 11 (28:36):
But in the meantime there doesn't have to be any meantime.
I've already spoken with the vicar. He's been waiting for
my call for the last two days.
Speaker 1 (28:50):
I had no notion for being married, but I sure
had one big, king size yen for Lisa Wright. So
what the heck if it pleased to With a war
looking it would last forever. Nobody figured to live long
enough so it would.
Speaker 2 (29:02):
Come back to hottess.
Speaker 1 (29:04):
Did I know that two days later it would be
d Day, And for the first time it began to
look like there was an end of the tunnel somewhere.
Speaker 2 (29:10):
As that meant I.
Speaker 1 (29:12):
Wanted no part of getting shot at again, so I
wandled a desk job in London.
Speaker 2 (29:17):
Lisa's hospital was.
Speaker 1 (29:18):
There too, so we found a little flat and started
to play at housekeeping. It was all right for a
few months, and then I began to get to heaby gbs,
Hey Lisa, baby, what do you say you want to
go pop trotting?
Speaker 11 (29:30):
Oh?
Speaker 5 (29:30):
I have a hot caat.
Speaker 11 (29:31):
I just came off a four days shit.
Speaker 2 (29:33):
So do you good to cut up a little cat?
Speaker 13 (29:36):
What?
Speaker 11 (29:38):
I don't feel very much like cutting up?
Speaker 12 (29:42):
What?
Speaker 11 (29:42):
Couldn't I just be tired?
Speaker 2 (29:44):
Sure?
Speaker 11 (29:46):
You hate to be cooped up, don't you?
Speaker 2 (29:48):
No, I just thought it might be fun to cut
up a few capers.
Speaker 11 (29:50):
Let me beg off. Huh, it isn't just for myself?
Speaker 2 (29:55):
Wait, or you're not sick or anything?
Speaker 11 (29:58):
Oh I'm not sick, but I sure am anything.
Speaker 2 (30:02):
What do you mean.
Speaker 11 (30:04):
You want to give me your hand?
Speaker 2 (30:07):
Sure?
Speaker 11 (30:07):
But what do you quiet? This is a new experience
for you. Come on, put it on my tongue.
Speaker 2 (30:14):
That's not so new.
Speaker 11 (30:15):
This is something else. Well, what do you feel?
Speaker 2 (30:20):
Hmm?
Speaker 1 (30:20):
Nice putting in a little white baby. But surprise, you've
got to be kidding.
Speaker 11 (30:28):
How's that for kicks?
Speaker 2 (30:30):
You've got to be kidding?
Speaker 1 (30:32):
You mean that the age old question, the same old answer.
Speaker 11 (30:37):
How are you going to like being a father?
Speaker 7 (30:42):
Well?
Speaker 2 (30:42):
I made all the right noises.
Speaker 1 (30:44):
I hope a last I didn't guess, But I mean
this wasn't my bag at all. I was really locked
in now the anchor stuck fast. And as the war
started to open up and horizons got brighter, I began
to search around in my mind for the easiest way
out from under. And that's when I met Stan Newcomb. Hey,
this is really a jumping joint, man, You've got to
(31:06):
know it. Hey, listen, boy, I got a couple of
super girls line the top.
Speaker 2 (31:10):
You want to cut out? You're talking to a married man.
Speaker 6 (31:13):
What do you figure be for?
Speaker 1 (31:15):
But I ain't seen the old woman in two years?
Speaker 2 (31:19):
You know how it is? My wife is pregnant. It's
kind of near her time. I uh, how to be around?
Why don't you give her a buzz? And until her
things came up? What things where like?
Speaker 7 (31:29):
Like like this?
Speaker 1 (31:30):
Now now you happy in your spa?
Speaker 2 (31:33):
What spa? I mean in the armed forces? Now you
bring it up.
Speaker 1 (31:36):
Now, the way things are going, the heat is on
to get all us pilots back up in the air again.
Speaker 2 (31:41):
And me, I've had that.
Speaker 6 (31:42):
Do you like to gym with me to the Pacific?
Speaker 2 (31:46):
This war here is not enough for me. I don't know.
I want to get tangled with the Japanese.
Speaker 1 (31:51):
This is no combat frame. This is easy bucket air
as military air transport service.
Speaker 2 (31:59):
What's the poop?
Speaker 1 (32:00):
Were you based on Manila clock field? You fly out
transport from Manila to Guam?
Speaker 5 (32:05):
Or Lulu?
Speaker 2 (32:06):
Maybe in the stage a milt run?
Speaker 1 (32:08):
Best way I can think of to run out farns
and get separated.
Speaker 2 (32:11):
Hey, like what you're saying? Can you do you help
me get posted? There could be we could talk about
it later. But how about the girls? I got on
the line? How about them?
Speaker 12 (32:30):
Hello?
Speaker 1 (32:32):
Are you there?
Speaker 2 (32:33):
It's cat honey? How are you?
Speaker 11 (32:35):
I'm fine cooking up a storm, are you honey?
Speaker 2 (32:38):
I'm I'm gonna bom out on you?
Speaker 1 (32:40):
Oh no, why I can't tell you on the phone?
New orders being cut? Uh, don't don't count on me tonight.
Speaker 11 (32:50):
But I'm you back on duty tomorrow morning.
Speaker 2 (32:52):
I will operation follow up. That's a service?
Speaker 11 (32:55):
Okay?
Speaker 1 (32:57):
How there is a war on?
Speaker 2 (32:58):
We did it? Come?
Speaker 11 (33:01):
The only thing?
Speaker 2 (33:02):
Han forgive me? But I gotta cut out now?
Speaker 11 (33:04):
Sure?
Speaker 2 (33:10):
Okay? Maybe it was just a long time. Could I
know that? I mean, she wasn't due for a month.
How could I know Lisa would go into.
Speaker 1 (33:18):
Labor that particular night, or that the baby would be
born dead?
Speaker 11 (33:24):
It was a boy? If only darling, what.
Speaker 2 (33:28):
Were you The army says, jump, What are you going
to do?
Speaker 11 (33:32):
What turned up? So suddenly that was so important?
Speaker 2 (33:35):
Well we can talk about that when you're feeling better.
Speaker 11 (33:37):
There's only one thing that can make me feel better.
Cat what, I want to get out of here and
go home so we can start another one to take
his place.
Speaker 2 (33:50):
That really tore it for me.
Speaker 1 (33:53):
The last thing I ever wanted in my life was
to be tied down. A wife was bad enough, but
a kid, I figured I had a luckier escape, and
now Lisa wanted to pin me down again. Well it
was time to get out from under. I went hunting
stan Nukem, and by the time Lisa came home from hospital,
I was all set.
Speaker 11 (34:12):
Oh waity Mina, he's there for what you've done your tour.
Couldn't you have ducked down?
Speaker 2 (34:19):
Tell it to the brass They didn't think.
Speaker 11 (34:21):
So what am I going to do without you?
Speaker 2 (34:23):
It isn't forever, Lisa.
Speaker 11 (34:25):
Well maybe I can get transferred to the Pacific.
Speaker 1 (34:27):
Look, why don't we just sweat it out. The war's
got to end sometime. Meantime, my orders are cut and
I have to pull out.
Speaker 11 (34:35):
Is that what you really want Cat?
Speaker 2 (34:37):
Oh, why would I want that?
Speaker 11 (34:39):
You better not. I warned you. You bought me for
the duration, and that doesn't mean the war. It means
all the way. I'll be waiting, Cat, however long it is,
I'll be waiting.
Speaker 1 (34:58):
Okay, Lisa, so you'll be waiting.
Speaker 2 (35:00):
But I'm not ready to be tied down. You cramp
my style.
Speaker 1 (35:05):
I should have the guts to tell you straight out,
but somehow I'm not built that way. A two hours
out of Hawaii and we just crossed the international league line, Cat,
That does it feel to jump straight from today right
into tomorrow?
Speaker 2 (35:23):
Great?
Speaker 1 (35:24):
Stand just my speed. I left all my worries behind me. Oh,
I'm so relaxed to think of the sack.
Speaker 6 (35:31):
Yeah, me too, buddy.
Speaker 2 (35:35):
In the film Man, this is the life?
Speaker 6 (35:40):
But which life?
Speaker 2 (35:41):
Sleep?
Speaker 12 (35:42):
You know?
Speaker 2 (35:44):
You again? What do you want?
Speaker 7 (35:47):
Just the answer to a simple question.
Speaker 10 (35:49):
Which life are you living?
Speaker 5 (35:51):
Now?
Speaker 2 (35:51):
Mister Chad? Oh, come on, let's not hack around. I
want to sleep, but not that long last sleep? Two
to go before that?
Speaker 10 (36:01):
What one?
Speaker 2 (36:04):
Steve Catholic?
Speaker 10 (36:06):
You sacrifice the other of the child you gave no
chance to live.
Speaker 2 (36:11):
But that wasn't my fault.
Speaker 10 (36:13):
If you had been there you could have brought Lisa
to the hospital and time.
Speaker 2 (36:17):
How do you know?
Speaker 7 (36:18):
It's my business to know such.
Speaker 10 (36:20):
Things and to teach you to believe them.
Speaker 2 (36:24):
Who are you?
Speaker 1 (36:25):
Who are you?
Speaker 10 (36:26):
The answer to that question lies in your heart?
Speaker 2 (36:31):
Huh uh? Did you say something? Cared no, no, and
just had a bad dream. It's all a bad dream.
Speaker 1 (36:47):
Possibly, a man with as few ethics as Steve Catlets
could well be prone to them.
Speaker 2 (36:53):
But what is the voice that speaks to him?
Speaker 1 (36:56):
Is better self conscious remorse? Does it come from beyond
him or from his inner soul? And can it help
him spend his last life in a better fashion than
his others?
Speaker 2 (37:11):
I shall return shortly with a three.
Speaker 1 (37:14):
We're gonna stick our neck out and tell you something,
and the reason is so civil. America's shirt maker is
penneted again with what is probably the best.
Speaker 2 (37:35):
Shirt collar ever made.
Speaker 1 (37:37):
Arrows patted custom collar, and only Arrow's got it. It's
a whole inch rider at the bottom on the top
just like your neck is. It's adjustable about a full
half inch, and it's got a special nuts so the
neck man doesn't show over your top.
Speaker 2 (37:57):
See why we're sticking our neck out.
Speaker 1 (37:59):
Stick your neck to an narrow custom gallant. We're not
already you're assurance maker we ought to be.
Speaker 2 (38:11):
I'm excited about my life.
Speaker 1 (38:13):
I'm not wandering around.
Speaker 2 (38:14):
I'm really determined now.
Speaker 1 (38:16):
That's Kelly Blixton. She might still be working as a
waitress if she hadn't gone to technical school.
Speaker 2 (38:22):
Instead, she's working as an electrician.
Speaker 12 (38:25):
I started my involvement in the electrical field approximately three
years ago, and in retrospect, I was very confused about
a lot of things. At that time, I didn't feel
very good about myself. I hadn't done anything. Now, after
the number of years and the amount of study and
the amount of work that I have put in and
(38:45):
the discipline, it's not that I feel I have achieved something.
Speaker 2 (38:48):
I know I have achieved something.
Speaker 12 (38:50):
I really like who I am a lot.
Speaker 1 (38:53):
If you think technical school might be what you were
looking for, right Careers Box one eleven, Washington, d C
two four four, We'll send you a free record brochure
that could change your whole life. A public service of
this station, the US Offices of Education and the Advertising Council,
(39:21):
whatever voices or doubts or shadows haunked Steve Catlet's dreams,
they failed to cramp his style. Once he reached Manila.
Manila was a town in a mad whorld of euphoria.
MacArthur's return, the ousting of the Japanese, the return of
freedom to the island set the town on fire, and
these beautiful people gave themselves wholeheartedly to their deliveries. Oh man,
(39:47):
this is one jumping down if you can say it
against that and the women.
Speaker 2 (39:53):
You know something funny?
Speaker 11 (39:54):
I just thought of it.
Speaker 1 (39:56):
You know where we are sitting right now? They're standing outside.
Speaker 2 (40:00):
Who's standing upside down?
Speaker 7 (40:02):
He's n played our wive.
Speaker 2 (40:04):
So what's so funny about that? Oh?
Speaker 1 (40:05):
Come on, don't you get it? How could they know
what we're doing? I look in the wrong way, I sir,
hope you're right. Oh Sam, thanks, The new boy is
stay out of involvement, safety and numbers.
Speaker 2 (40:24):
For a couple of months. It was a great life.
Speaker 1 (40:26):
The girls were plentiful and the rum costs about thirty
cents a fifth flight dute.
Speaker 2 (40:30):
He was a breeze.
Speaker 1 (40:31):
We climbed the altitude, set her on automatic and take
turns sleeping off.
Speaker 2 (40:35):
The high living.
Speaker 1 (40:36):
Oh yes, we hadn't made all right, that is until
I met Pita. Have another drink baby, No, thank you, captain.
Speaker 11 (40:47):
Captain, and the name is not baby.
Speaker 1 (40:51):
I'm sorry, I don't believe I caught it when we
were introduced, I am.
Speaker 2 (40:58):
Miss. Oh, well that's a relief, is it?
Speaker 11 (41:03):
From what I know of your education? Would it make
so much difference if I were married?
Speaker 1 (41:10):
Well, of course, aren't Hugh me? Oh, free white and uncumbered,
and don't let me claim your staff. Look, why why
don't we take a walk outside and find out what
you meant by that remark.
Speaker 11 (41:24):
I could use some air, but that doesn't mean my
explanation will.
Speaker 2 (41:29):
Bring you much pleasure. I'll uh take my chances.
Speaker 1 (41:37):
Purita or Puring, which was her nickname, was a knockout.
She glowed with some inner fire. Her skin was light
burnished copper, her eyes brown liquid shot with flecks of gold,
and she moved as sleekly and gracefully as a cat.
Speaker 2 (41:53):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (41:54):
One thing she had in common with Lisa she was
untouchable unless so I. I mumbled the right words and
made the promises pleading delay only until I could get
the permission of my commanding officer to marry, which of
course I never intended to do. But the deception worked,
and Pria and I took up housekeeping without benefit of
(42:14):
clergy in her apartment in her meter downtown Manila. This
run is getting to be Dozeville. That's about a few
minutes a light chit, Jenny, Oh, what's to talk about where? Like,
for example, there's a new dame in town, white Russians,
and who has she got a sister?
Speaker 2 (42:34):
Come on, Stan, you know I don't make that kind
of scene anymore.
Speaker 1 (42:37):
Too occupied with pool reader. Uh well yeah, if you
have to know, that's pretty cozy little setup. You have
their veil, just the word of the wise. I think
twice about getting too cozy with a little little Sorio dame.
She comes to quite a Filipino family with a lot
of clouds.
Speaker 2 (42:57):
You asked him in trouble, Did I ask you for
any advice?
Speaker 1 (43:01):
I'm button up and let me get.
Speaker 2 (43:02):
Some sleep, playing dreams. Oh it's a bad habit. I
don't dream.
Speaker 1 (43:12):
But that statement was to come back to haunt me,
because a few weeks later, on a long haul to Honolulu,
I was rock to discover my wife was not as
far away as I thought she was. Even before I
landed ground control, it told me that Lisa was in
the islands. And waiting for me at the Kamalama Hotel.
Speaker 11 (43:28):
Darling, darling, darhing, we're back together again.
Speaker 1 (43:33):
It's greatly, it's just super.
Speaker 11 (43:34):
But how the world shouldn't be awaiting you any longer?
So I came running.
Speaker 2 (43:38):
But how did you manage to wangle it? Hey, you're
in cities?
Speaker 7 (43:43):
You mean that cutting?
Speaker 11 (43:44):
The war's almost at an end. My enlistment was up.
I grabbed it, the chance to get out.
Speaker 7 (43:49):
But your your career, your career.
Speaker 11 (43:52):
Oh you think I wanted to be a nurse. It
was my conscience working. Now I'm concentrating on something near
to home US.
Speaker 2 (44:02):
I don't quite follow.
Speaker 11 (44:03):
She was, I can get clarents. I'm coming to Manila,
said we can start being man and wife again.
Speaker 2 (44:10):
That really joded me.
Speaker 1 (44:12):
I was gonna have to do something about pouring and fast.
All the way back on our return to Manila, I
was trying to figure it out.
Speaker 2 (44:21):
No, no, no, no, wait a minute, he can't wake up? Man,
wake up? I thought you didn't dream. What happened? You
were talking in your sleep? Well, I say, none of
you uncles stand don't know.
Speaker 1 (44:36):
So your wife is moving back in on you, and
you had yourself set up so bready on each side
of the International Day cline. It's the two words. Looks
like now you're going to have settled for one? Yeah,
but which that shouldn't be too hard to readers from
another culture, another background, and anyway she can support you
(45:00):
the same kind.
Speaker 2 (45:00):
Of styles of Lisa Ride. And what does that mean?
Don't you know who Liza is? Her family?
Speaker 1 (45:06):
I mean there's been a war on Remember I never
had a chance to meet them, at least never said
much about him. Yes, she figured she didn't have to,
not about George Lowell? And right, you ever heard her name?
I know her father's name is George and that hey, hey,
quit a minute, do you mean to steal there white
(45:27):
tools the aircraft factory? Yes, father a billionaire.
Speaker 2 (45:30):
At least once.
Speaker 1 (45:32):
Okay, cat, now can you make up your mind which
way you're going? A joke?
Speaker 2 (45:39):
There wasn't any doubt which way? But how? And then
my old luck came back.
Speaker 1 (45:45):
They dropped the bomb, Japan surrendered about the USS Missouri
and suddenly discharges.
Speaker 2 (45:50):
What a diamond doesn't.
Speaker 1 (45:51):
It was easy to persuade Lisa to forget Manila, since
I'd be home the only problem was pouring, who kept
making more and more noises about marriage. Still it looked
as if I might get away with it till one
evening at dinner time. I was scheduled on a run
that night at midnight when she dropped our own private bomb. Hi, porie, honey,
(46:14):
ahlad you got home.
Speaker 2 (46:15):
I just got orders to part again tonight.
Speaker 11 (46:17):
You are not going anywhere tonight.
Speaker 2 (46:21):
Hey, hey, baby, these are orders in the army. You
gott obey will.
Speaker 11 (46:24):
Yeh shet you your poisoned tongue?
Speaker 2 (46:30):
What's gotten into you?
Speaker 11 (46:32):
You have taken me, shamed me and used me. And
I was fool enough to listen to your promises, furing furing,
I love you soon. We will marry as soon as
the commanding officer is permission.
Speaker 2 (46:49):
That's Air Force regulation.
Speaker 7 (46:50):
You got awake.
Speaker 11 (46:51):
Couldn't give you permission when you know she knows that
you are already married, you have a wife. You cannot
marry me, you liar you. If I can't have you,
no one can. I kill myself for how you have
(47:11):
shamed me. First, First I kill ill down, I kill
you you nothing.
Speaker 7 (47:22):
I'll take that night, I get your heart, give it
to me. No, no, let's get rid of it. Then
I kill you with my hands have a heart.
Speaker 11 (47:37):
I have no heart anymore. You will not leave. I
will scream the town down before you do, because you
made me so. Will never required, not.
Speaker 7 (47:51):
As long as one.
Speaker 2 (48:00):
Brine. I didn't mean to pour. Oh no, she's dead.
It happened so fast. I couldn't believe it.
Speaker 1 (48:12):
She was so little, her neck it had just snapped
under my hands. At first I was peril mist. It
took three or four drinks before my mind started to move,
and then I knew what I had to do. I
wrapped her in a blanket, waited for dusk, carried her
to my jeep. On the way to the field, I
sidetracked to a deserted bridge and dropped her in the
(48:34):
Posse River.
Speaker 2 (48:36):
The tide was going on.
Speaker 1 (48:38):
With any luck, she'd be carried out to Manila Bay
and the China Sea, and I hit it. For what
I'd made up my mind would be my last flight
out of Manola.
Speaker 7 (48:47):
I can't what's the matter with you?
Speaker 1 (48:49):
You're Jim, there's your name. I uh, I don't feel
so hard. Maybe I'm coming down with something. Well, maybe
you better let me take the first leg to Guam.
Speaker 2 (49:00):
Sleep it off. I wouldn't have believed it. I did sleep,
and like I'd been knocked out.
Speaker 1 (49:06):
Then at bombs stand concked out while I took over,
and now wide away, the horror of it was back
with me.
Speaker 2 (49:13):
What to do? What to do?
Speaker 1 (49:17):
If only, if only I could go back, if only
today had never been? And then, suddenly, gazing blankly at
the instrument board, in a sort of blinding flash, I
saw we were just about to cross the international date line.
Speaker 2 (49:32):
If only I could gain today, if only there really
was a gift of time that would what what would
you do with it?
Speaker 7 (49:42):
To you again, it's me, Oh what would you do
with the day?
Speaker 1 (49:50):
I wouldn't kill her, I'd find some other way.
Speaker 7 (49:53):
And what would you give it?
Speaker 2 (49:56):
You had to child anything, anything.
Speaker 10 (50:00):
Can go see if you can find the way.
Speaker 1 (50:06):
There was a blinding flash of light, and then darkness,
and then morning, and waking up and repeating the day,
as if in a dream.
Speaker 2 (50:16):
I saw Porene off to work. We said the same words.
Speaker 1 (50:20):
I reported to the base, got my orders to fly
out at twenty four hundred. That night, I saw the
same people ate the same food, And at last it
was evening and I was waiting for Porene to come home.
Speaker 2 (50:34):
Hi Porene. Honey, I'm glad you got home.
Speaker 11 (50:37):
I don't believe it. What do you mean, I just
came from your commanding officer. I know the truth. Cut,
I know you are married.
Speaker 2 (50:50):
I was going to tell you we are.
Speaker 11 (50:53):
You well, it doesn't matter.
Speaker 2 (50:57):
What are you going to do about it?
Speaker 11 (50:59):
What are you afraid of that? I will tell your
wife ruin her life that you have mine.
Speaker 2 (51:06):
I'm begging you, pulling it.
Speaker 11 (51:09):
It would killy say you have nothing to worry about.
I don't want her blood on my hands.
Speaker 7 (51:16):
I leave it to yours.
Speaker 11 (51:19):
You will go back to her. Yes, she would be
better off without you, but that is her business. I
was a fool to give myself to you. You are
not worth it. I come of an.
Speaker 7 (51:33):
Old and proud.
Speaker 11 (51:35):
Race and I have no right to pollute my bloodlines.
Now get out of my sight.
Speaker 2 (51:41):
What what are you going to do?
Speaker 11 (51:44):
That is none of your business. Who don't worry. I
will never trouble you again.
Speaker 2 (51:50):
You mean I'm free?
Speaker 1 (52:00):
Now once again, I'm sitting at the controls of the plane,
crossing the international dateline and listening.
Speaker 2 (52:07):
To the voice.
Speaker 10 (52:08):
So we are back where we were, Yes, but I
fixed it seemed to me the girl kissed it.
Speaker 2 (52:16):
What's the difference. She's gone. I'm free.
Speaker 6 (52:19):
You are free from her, but not from me.
Speaker 10 (52:23):
I'm grounding you for good, mister Patot.
Speaker 2 (52:26):
It's last, But you can't. I still have one life left.
Speaker 7 (52:31):
Oh you did have one life left. But when you
went back, you made.
Speaker 10 (52:36):
An exchange, or rather took someone else, said pouring Purien.
Speaker 7 (52:44):
But I didn't kill her.
Speaker 10 (52:44):
No, she killed herself, jumped from a bridge over the
Pasic River to float out on the tide to Manila of.
Speaker 2 (52:51):
A and the China feet. But that was a knife
for of course, it was your own.
Speaker 5 (52:57):
Come along.
Speaker 7 (52:58):
Don't waste any time anymore. But Lisa, Lisa needs me.
Speaker 10 (53:03):
The girl who just died answered that your wife is
a million times better off without someone like you.
Speaker 2 (53:10):
No, no, you can't.
Speaker 7 (53:12):
You can't have it your.
Speaker 2 (53:13):
Way for once and for all.
Speaker 10 (53:16):
So prop the international date line and.
Speaker 6 (53:19):
Move into tomorrow.
Speaker 7 (53:20):
Cat too bad?
Speaker 2 (53:22):
Is it that that's the end? There aren't any more
tomorrows for you anymore. It was a small squib in
the papers.
Speaker 1 (53:39):
A Matt's plane bound for Hawaii was lost in the
vicinity of the International Dateline. The pilot, Captain Stephen Catlet,
was presumed lost with the plane. By some miraculous chance,
the co pilot, Lieutenant Stanley Nucom, fell clear during the
wild descent and was able to make a parachute land him.
(54:01):
He was picked up in good condition by a passing destroyer.
Lieutenant Nukem was unable to account for the accident.
Speaker 2 (54:09):
He was asleep while the plane was.
Speaker 1 (54:11):
Under automatic control and Captain Cautlet was in full command.

Speaker 1 (56:24):
I don't imagine any of us could have any pity
for a man is self serving as Steve Catlet or
spare many regrets that he was prodigal enough to waste
nine lives. But I do wonder how many of us
(56:45):
would like to cross that international dateline and get the
gift of a.
Speaker 2 (56:50):
Day to mend things we may have done which we wish.
Speaker 6 (56:54):
We never had.
Speaker 1 (56:56):
Perhaps we'll never cross it, or perhaps if we do
and we are not offered a second chance, we can
comfort ourselves that our sins must have been pretty small.

Mark Good Radio from our people MM
CBS News a formal announcement is expected tomorrow as the
Pentagon makes plans to close the military bases and eliminate
several thousand civilian jobs to save money. Good Evening, This
is Doug Polling reporting.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
On the CBS Radio Network.
Speaker 1 (00:17):
CBS News Pentagon correspondent Ike Pappas reports the Defense Department
sources save bases in some twenty states may be eliminated,
and at least eighteen thousand military and civilian jobs could
be affected. Pappas says the Army wants to close two
basic training centers, Fort Dix, New Jersey and Fort Jackson,
South Carolina. Several Air Force and Navy installations may also.
Speaker 2 (00:38):
Be shut down.
Speaker 1 (00:39):
United President and National reports that eighty five bases in
all would be shut down in a move to save
up to three hundred and thirty six million dollars a year.
Congressional opposition could be formidable. Senator John Tower of Texas,
the ranking Republican on the Senate Armed Services Committee, said
the Carter administration continues to whittle away at our national
security to our term. The military installation cutback plans short
(01:03):
sighted and irrational.
Speaker 3 (01:05):
More news in a moment, There's something you should know
about pain. Muscle tension causes most headache.
Speaker 2 (01:11):
Pain.
Speaker 3 (01:12):
Inflammation often comes with body pain such as muscle strain,
back ache, or if your doctor diagnosis tendinitis inflammatory neuritis.
Get Anison anison relieves headache pain, but more anison also
reduces inflammation while it relieves body pain. For muscle tension, headache,
or painful body ache, get anison anison reduces inflammation while
(01:34):
it relieves pain fast use only as directed. Hemorrhoids are
nothing to be embarrassed about. Sixty million Americans sometimes suffer
the pain in itch, and two of every three sufferers
use Preparation H In many cases, doctor tested Preparation H
gives prompt, temporary relief from occasional.
Speaker 2 (01:53):
Pain and itch of hemorhoidal tissues.
Speaker 4 (01:55):
Actually helps shrink swelling of tissues due to inflammation. If
you suffer occasional head emeridal symptoms, get Preparation H helped
shrink swelling as a relieves pain and itch.
Speaker 2 (02:05):
Use only as directed.
Speaker 1 (02:08):
A House Armed Services Panel has issued a review of
President Carter's decision to pull American troops.
Speaker 2 (02:14):
Out of Korea.
Speaker 1 (02:15):
The investigation subcommittee says Korea is the most volatile and
explosive place in Asia, and a basic American military force
should be kept there until North and South Korea sign
a peace treaty. Subcommittee Chairman Samuel Stratton, Democrat of New York,
says the presence of American forces in Korea is a
restraining influence.
Speaker 5 (02:32):
North Koreans. Provably militarily would have no trouble running over
the South Koreans and taking Soul within a relatively short time,
but they are reluctant to have to move over United
States troops, and so we felt those troops should remain
in Korea a basic force, and that would be roughly
(02:55):
I think about the two brigades that would remain after
the first six thousand wars were removed, should remain there
until real peace came in Korea.
Speaker 1 (03:04):
By a vote of sixty five to twenty two, the
Senator has gone on record in favor of delaying for
three months President Carter's proposed twenty five billion dollar tax cut.
The vote on the tax recommendation came as the lawmakers
continued to write a preliminary federal budget. Despite today's action,
one Democratic Senator, Wendell Anderson of Minnesota, said the president's
tax cut plan still has a good chance in the
(03:25):
upper Chamber.
Speaker 6 (03:26):
I think it's going to pass on the Senate's side.
We're talking about twenty five billion dollars. Seventeen of that
would go to individual's risk for corporations. I think that
most Senators feel the Social Security tax increase of last
December was a big mistake, and this tax reduction within
Marge measure takes some of the onus.
Speaker 2 (03:47):
Off of that and to do it.
Speaker 1 (03:49):
Today's news conference, President Carter said he does not intend
to delay or scale down his tax cut request. Officials
in Rome tonight issued arrest warrants for the suspected kidnappers
of former Italian Premier Althoo Moro. Still no word on
Morroll's fate, and the government continues to refuse to free
thirteen Red Brigade terrors in exchange for the ex premier's life.
(04:11):
Italian President Giovanni Leone said today his country faces a
wicked and bloody danger from the Red Brigades.
Speaker 7 (04:18):
Now this.
Speaker 2 (04:23):
The best interviews come out of the deepest research. Learn
a lot about the person you're talking to.
Speaker 1 (04:28):
CBS News corresponded Mike Wallace, famous for his candid interviews
on Mike Wallace at Large on CBS Radio. Recently, we
talked to Mike along with some of our other air
personalities and learn some interesting things about them all. Mike,
for instance, didn't set out to.
Speaker 2 (04:42):
Be a journalist. I was going to be an English teacher.
Speaker 1 (04:45):
While Sports Times Brent Musburger always knew that sports was
it for him. Nothing else really has been on my
mind since I was six years old. Today. In business
specialist Ray Brady started this way. I always liked to write,
and I got involved with doing local radio in it
just grew on me, the whole business.
Speaker 2 (05:02):
I liked it more and more.
Speaker 1 (05:03):
Wallace, Musburger Brady. Hear them another afternoon at evening broadcasters
like Walter Cronkite and Douglas Edwards Monday through Friday on
most of these CBS Radio Network stations.
Speaker 2 (05:13):
They're worth your time.
Speaker 1 (05:20):
Labor's Secretary of Marshall had his turn today as a
congressional panel continued hearings in the labor racketeering. In yesterday's testimony,
federal strikeforce officers accused the Labor Department of doing little
or nothing about the influence of organized crime in unions,
but Marshall says he is taking a problem seriously.
Speaker 2 (05:38):
He says the agents may have been.
Speaker 1 (05:39):
Exaggerating the extent of the problem, and he says he's
setting up a new special office of investigations.
Speaker 2 (05:46):
Missus Doug Polling, CBS News. You walk with your.
Speaker 1 (05:49):
Dog and you can be totally and honoring around.
Speaker 2 (05:52):
If you want to talk to yourself, you can talk to yourself.
I like sports because to me, sports is uncompetat. I
think what I do best is a sports now.
Speaker 1 (06:00):
So it's just understanding what's going on kind of a
sixth sets about.
Speaker 5 (06:03):
A word ago, what's a last going around at an interview.
Speaker 1 (06:06):
I guess I could call it a field for sports
if I didn't think that was.
Speaker 2 (06:10):
The best, and then I shouldn't be in this business.
Wayne isn't backs wants see.
Speaker 8 (06:16):
I'm Harlan Falk, chief parker for the Variety Club of Nebraska,
Cat Number sixteen. On April twenty eighth, twenty nineteen thirtieth
volunteers throughout the community, we'll be asking people to give
what they can to.
Speaker 4 (06:27):
Help local kids.
Speaker 8 (06:29):
It's a Variety Club's annual Tag Day, with all funds
raised to support the programs of the University of Nebraska
Myer Children's Rehabilitation Institute right here in Omaha, this tag day.
Won't you please give what you can cause? Kids right
here need help right now.
Speaker 2 (06:45):
It's nine oh seven.
Speaker 9 (06:46):
Time for the CBS Radio Mystery Theater.
Speaker 1 (06:52):
The CBS Radio Mystery Theater presents.
Speaker 2 (07:11):
Come in Welcome. I'm E. G. Marshall.
Speaker 1 (07:18):
It stretches from the North Pole in the Arctic, passing
one thousand miles west of the Hawaiian Islands all the
way to Antarctica and the South Pole. It girdles half
to glow vertically, but it is horizontally that its magic exists.
It is the one hundred and eightieth line of longitude
called the International Dateline, and its magic is this. Cross
(07:43):
it going west and you lose a day out of
your life. But pass it traveling eastward, and you gain
that day an incredible gift of time.
Speaker 2 (07:55):
Just think about it for a little while.
Speaker 10 (08:00):
A catlic Which life are you living?
Speaker 11 (08:02):
Now?
Speaker 2 (08:04):
Come on, let's not hacker around.
Speaker 1 (08:05):
I want to sleep, but not that long last sleep.
Speaker 2 (08:10):
I have two to go before that one?
Speaker 7 (08:14):
What one life, Steve Catlet you sacrifice.
Speaker 10 (08:18):
The other for the child you gave no chance to live.
Speaker 1 (08:31):
Our mystery drama International Dateline was written especially for the
Mystery Theater by Ian Martin and stars Michael Colan. It
is sponsored in part by aarm Allergy Relief Medicine and
Buick Motor Division. I'll be back shortly with that one.
The Electra is all washed and loaded and you're on
(08:52):
your way. You figured three hundred miles the first day,
but with all of Electra's luxury on room, you're out
four hundred miles before you know it. Not only that,
but the EPA mileage estimates are twenty two highway, fifteen city,
and eighteen combined. That's with the standard five point seven
liter engines and automatic transmission. Of course, your mileage will
vary depending on how and where you drive, your car's
(09:13):
conditioned and how it's equipped, and EPA estimates are lower
in California. But it's nice to know that a car
with as much prestige and elegance as Electra can also
be efficient. Buick Electra a car that can actually make
you look forward.
Speaker 2 (09:25):
To a long trend.
Speaker 1 (09:27):
Tach really sound you.
Speaker 11 (09:30):
Eliza County.
Speaker 1 (09:42):
Electro models are equipped with GM built engines supplied by
various divisions.
Speaker 2 (09:46):
See your dealer for details. It had been somewhere every day,
a blazing house and a fireman.
Speaker 1 (09:56):
Lee leaves beside an overcome chime. Come on, kid, if
when the eyes flutter open, when the breath finally comes
easy and regular, only then and the fireman relaxed, and
maybe take a little pride and pleasure from the special
gift he's been giving.
Speaker 2 (10:12):
Is a learned gift with.
Speaker 1 (10:14):
A big name, mouth to mouth resuscitation, and it can literally.
Speaker 2 (10:18):
Bring people back from them.
Speaker 5 (10:21):
He's gonna make it.
Speaker 1 (10:22):
Whenever you wonder where Red Cross money goes, think of this.
Part of your money goes to train people in all
walks of life to do what needs to be done
when the chips are really down. Maybe you'll never need
to be brought back to life with mouth to mouth resuscitation.
Speaker 2 (10:37):
Then again, maybe you will.
Speaker 6 (10:42):
Red Cross is counting on you to help me.
Speaker 1 (10:57):
If you're young enough, I suppose a gift to one
whole day twenty four hours is a small thing. If
you're old enough, it is a thing beyond price, even
if you're just sort of middling. It is a donation
from the gods that boggles the imagination to conceive what
it might mean and how it.
Speaker 2 (11:18):
Might be used. This is how one man was able
to use it.
Speaker 1 (11:24):
His name is Steve Catlet, but for many reasons everyone
knows him as.
Speaker 2 (11:28):
Cat This story begins thirty five.
Speaker 1 (11:31):
Years ago in a world gone mad, where most people
in the Western Hemisphere measured their life expectancy in days
or hours as death rained from the sky.
Speaker 7 (11:46):
What's the good word, Alfy? Not so good, Captain.
Speaker 1 (11:48):
The wife's gunners took one bed in the chest on
the tail section.
Speaker 7 (11:51):
Has gone a little gloater with it.
Speaker 1 (11:53):
Bombay, doors won't close?
Speaker 2 (11:54):
What about the landing gear?
Speaker 1 (11:55):
Now the churr has fixed that. Others all right, we'll
never get it down.
Speaker 2 (11:58):
The bomb's all gone away. Oh yes, after our calling card,
they're going to make it home. But give it the
old college try. She fries like lead. I can how
to keep her trim. We'll be over the channel in
a couple of minutes.
Speaker 7 (12:12):
Before we get there, you want.
Speaker 2 (12:13):
A Guinness Morton.
Speaker 7 (12:14):
Whoever's left better hit the silk and.
Speaker 1 (12:16):
End up a ruddy pow Not likely, not wild interest
still the round, So I see that that, or take
a back in the channel.
Speaker 7 (12:22):
I'll get you as you as old blady as I can.
What difference to you?
Speaker 2 (12:26):
I ditch her?
Speaker 1 (12:27):
I think I can answer for the rest of the chaps. Captain,
we'll take our chances with you.
Speaker 7 (12:31):
I would give you as I won't.
Speaker 1 (12:33):
I don't call you Kat for nothing that I could
be stretching my luck this time. I'll tell you what
Yank says. You boys took over the eighth Force. We
pittish types have been running a little pool. See, we
think that you always luck out. You have as many
lives as your name. He's thinking, you're right now is
six down and three to go.
Speaker 7 (12:53):
It's the port engine I left the Federer. Now if
we get on back there and Stripper.
Speaker 1 (12:58):
Roger get all the way over, Boy, you can't armaments, ammunition.
Speaker 2 (13:01):
The works and do and figure in, Kat.
Speaker 7 (13:03):
We're all riding on your luck.
Speaker 2 (13:07):
All my life.
Speaker 1 (13:08):
I've been lucky, well lucky enough to know that it
doesn't hurt to give the little lady a helping hand
as much as you can. Like when Professor Samuel has
caught me cheating in the college boards, it didn't hurt
to know that he'd been fooling around with Linny Strong
in the senior class.
Speaker 2 (13:22):
I would have gone on to college with.
Speaker 1 (13:23):
A straight be average too, if it hadn't been for
the draft. I lucked out there too, because I happened
to know old Horace Pool on the draft board was
also running a betting pool on the side.
Speaker 2 (13:34):
During my senior year. I shaved points for him on
the basketball games as playmaker.
Speaker 1 (13:38):
That was a cinch, and so he steered me out
of the infantry of Marines or any of the tough
services and into the Air Force.
Speaker 2 (13:45):
I had it all figured to fly a desk for
the duration, but that's one time my luck deserted me.
Speaker 1 (13:53):
You read me, I read you.
Speaker 2 (13:55):
How you doing you.
Speaker 7 (13:58):
Any legits?
Speaker 1 (14:00):
Where I was still losing altitude. I want you to
get rid of this radio and bail.
Speaker 2 (14:03):
Out over the channel. Wants to stigma, not a chance.
We're sinking like a stone.
Speaker 7 (14:11):
I want you all overboard while there's enough valet too
to open your shoes. You bail out, that's an order.
I want you go withness and leave an uncontrolled.
Speaker 1 (14:19):
P seventeen wandering around. My place is with the planet
good P'siouscibo.
Speaker 2 (14:28):
We were wallowing unsteadily. I could almost feel each member
of the crew as he jumped.
Speaker 1 (14:33):
But just as I'd hope that nearly a thousand pounds
of human cargo lightened the plane enough to give me
a chance to make land. Just another case of giving
Lady Luck a boost. I didn't envy the poor chumps
i'd dumped, but my skin was more important than theirs.
Now I could concentrate on getting it back in one piece.
Speaker 7 (14:50):
What is your tower?
Speaker 6 (14:52):
What is your tower?
Speaker 2 (14:52):
Emergency?
Speaker 7 (14:53):
Emergency?
Speaker 2 (14:54):
One? Is his little friend blue one?
Speaker 7 (14:56):
Do you read me?
Speaker 2 (14:58):
Do you read me? Over? Acknowledge? Am feathering one? Engine,
tail section half gone.
Speaker 1 (15:06):
I am somewhere southeast of you, altitude five thousand.
Speaker 7 (15:10):
And sinking fast. Can you get a fix on me?
Speaker 2 (15:14):
Impossible to see anything?
Speaker 1 (15:16):
Heavy overcast below, losing altitude fast.
Speaker 7 (15:19):
How about if I hold.
Speaker 1 (15:20):
The button down on radio and leave it open to hey,
hold it a minute.
Speaker 7 (15:26):
Cloud break.
Speaker 1 (15:28):
Yes, I'm over land, Holy Toledo, I'm right on top
of you. Hold your hats and stand by. I remember
the plane landing and ensuring sideways. Before I had time
to put the engines. I could feel what a nose
split it was, quiting desperately to keep my control.
Speaker 2 (15:49):
I remember it slithering.
Speaker 1 (15:51):
Sideways, straight for the control tower and resting her somehow
out of the skid. And as she was tipping forward,
there was a tremendous ripping crash.
Speaker 2 (16:13):
Excuse me, nurse.
Speaker 1 (16:14):
Yes, Flight Lieutenant Alfrey Patterson, I've got a chitch here
for Meddick says, I can say hello to my pilot,
Captain Steve Catlant.
Speaker 11 (16:23):
How do you now, flight Lieutenant, Your buddy Steve Catlet
isn't saying hello to anyone. What you mean You had
a pretty stiff crash landing about six weeks ago, bringing
in a be seventeen. He's been in a coma ever since.
Speaker 2 (16:37):
Oh yes, I know. I was his co pilot.
Speaker 1 (16:39):
If he hadn't made me and arrest bailout, we'd be
lying where he is now.
Speaker 2 (16:44):
Could I say a word to him?
Speaker 11 (16:45):
You can try, Lieutenant. Excuse me, lieutenant, and I hope
you can reach him.
Speaker 1 (16:56):
For a long time, I seem to be circling around
the deep, deep bowl that disappeared in the complete darkness
in the center of the Earth, round and down. I
went in a spiral in the dark until there was
no light and no feeling, no smell, no taste, just
nothingness except for the voice.
Speaker 2 (17:20):
You ready to come to me, Steve Catlin?
Speaker 12 (17:23):
No?
Speaker 1 (17:24):
Why not? Because I haven't lived out my life yet, which.
Speaker 2 (17:30):
My time here?
Speaker 7 (17:31):
You really believe that superstition of yours, mister cat.
Speaker 1 (17:36):
Why shouldn't I everyone else believes it do Yes.
Speaker 2 (17:41):
So must you? By now, Wow, you come for me.
Before when I had the scarlet fever, Yes, I could
have welcomed you.
Speaker 1 (17:49):
Then when a girl tried to kick my hat off
when I was six, and she swung too high on
the swing and the bolt fractured my skull.
Speaker 2 (17:56):
Yes, I was ready to welcome you.
Speaker 1 (17:58):
Then when the boy fired the rifle at me and
just missed my eye, I.
Speaker 7 (18:02):
Should have insisted.
Speaker 2 (18:03):
Then that was before, before.
Speaker 1 (18:05):
What before you change, before you began to stretch your luck,
before you've finally committed.
Speaker 2 (18:12):
Yourself to my care.
Speaker 7 (18:14):
No, No, you don't own me, not yet.
Speaker 2 (18:18):
You prefer to think so very well. I'll let you
run your least ship and love gun if the conceit
pleases you.
Speaker 10 (18:26):
You have new lives that your name missed, Cat, God
them carried me if you wish to stay away from me.
Speaker 1 (18:44):
And now there was a soft light, luminous behind the blackness,
on a cushion of air that was being carried slowly upwards.
In the beginnings of all my senses except sight and
voice were it to me. I was conscious of voices
talking about me far away.
Speaker 11 (19:04):
He's quite a guy, isn't he?
Speaker 2 (19:06):
Salt of ear? They don't come any better. I know
I won't see his like again.
Speaker 11 (19:12):
I don't see then?
Speaker 13 (19:13):
Why not?
Speaker 11 (19:13):
But sounds like an epic chat.
Speaker 1 (19:16):
Oh, Gord knows, I didn't mean it that way. The
last thing I'd want to see old Cat do is
cash and his chips. Anyway, as me and the boys figured,
it ain't time yet. He still has two lives to go?
Speaker 11 (19:29):
What does that mean?
Speaker 7 (19:30):
Steve Cattle?
Speaker 1 (19:31):
He's like a cat you know, whose manages to lend
on his feet. You know, our pursuit parrots keep us
care of all the Jerry's they've shot down. Yes, well
with Cat here, counting Chartood accidents and all the rest
through the blitz. We made a joke that up to
this last one he's used up six lives.
Speaker 2 (19:52):
This one here would be the seventh. So he see,
let's two to go.
Speaker 11 (19:56):
You think you come out?
Speaker 10 (19:57):
I do.
Speaker 2 (19:58):
It ain't his number yet? Why you and the docs
think he won't?
Speaker 11 (20:04):
Oh? I can't answer for the doctors, only for myself.
I don't think I know he will Oho, because I
wanted it so much, because I've prayed for it so
much ridiculous, isn't it a man? I've never really talked
to a man. I don't even know. No, that isn't true.
(20:28):
I've saved him, I've shaved him, I've trimmed his hair,
held him in my arms. There's something between us, a
bomb that can never be broken, not from my side anyway,
and I hope someday from his.
Speaker 2 (20:45):
He'd be a fool if he didn't grab it.
Speaker 1 (20:47):
Like a lifetime any man would be lucky to have
a woman like you, Lieutenant.
Speaker 2 (20:54):
What's your name?
Speaker 11 (20:55):
Elisa?
Speaker 7 (20:55):
Right up front?
Speaker 1 (20:57):
Monica's Affords or Faith for short.
Speaker 2 (21:01):
I'm pleased tonight you, Lisa.
Speaker 11 (21:03):
Thank you, Elsie.
Speaker 2 (21:05):
Thank it's him a cat.
Speaker 7 (21:08):
He moved.
Speaker 11 (21:09):
Look, he's t open his arm coming around. Yes, yes,
get to the nurses station and tell him to alert doctor.
Start and get him here fast.
Speaker 7 (21:17):
Roger, you get the doctor, yes, sir, Oh.
Speaker 11 (21:23):
Yes, he's dying. It's all right, it's going to be
all right. Come alive again.
Speaker 1 (21:34):
Suddenly the darkness was being stripped away, veiled by veil,
the dark smoke lifting, and the beginnings of light seeping
in behind my closed eye lids.
Speaker 11 (21:44):
Don't te don't be afraid it's all right, it's all right,
your home safe.
Speaker 1 (21:55):
At last I had the courage to open my eyes
and your face wham interview A.
Speaker 2 (22:03):
Oh here's something I wake up to. What where the
devil have I been?
Speaker 12 (22:09):
Oh?
Speaker 7 (22:10):
That doesn't matter.
Speaker 11 (22:12):
Just glad to see you back.
Speaker 2 (22:13):
Oh who are you?
Speaker 11 (22:15):
Lieutenant?
Speaker 8 (22:16):
Right?
Speaker 11 (22:17):
Your nurse.
Speaker 2 (22:19):
Too? Right? Oh, very right.
Speaker 11 (22:24):
I'm Captain Steve catlet us A F.
Speaker 2 (22:29):
Yeah, that's that's my name. Have I am I back
in the land of a living? Or how is this heaven?
Speaker 12 (22:36):
You're back?
Speaker 11 (22:37):
Either way? You figured it well.
Speaker 2 (22:38):
I could settle for either what you or on you.
Speaker 1 (22:42):
You got a first name, Lieutenant, right, Yes, Lisa, mine's
cat short for Lucky.
Speaker 2 (22:49):
It looks like I haven't broken my streak.
Speaker 11 (22:51):
You brought your plane home safe and some of the crew.
Speaker 2 (22:54):
I wasn't thinking of that. I was thinking about you.
Speaker 1 (23:01):
Somewhere along the line. I thought it was the end,
and now it looks like a great new beginning. The
luck still holds, of course. The essential thing about luck
is that it's a one way street, a pleasant and
(23:23):
rewarding ride for the lucky. But there has to be
the other side of it, the unlucky who come to
the street from the wrong side and are never allowed
to traverse it. What's ahead for Kat and Lisa, I'll
tell you when I returned shortly with that too.
Speaker 13 (23:41):
Life is for living and pieces there Tokyo, Paris, Yugoslavia,
the coast of Monika, kopy Hagen Lake at home and
(24:32):
abroad is the most widely recognized card.
Speaker 1 (24:35):
In the world.

We're keeping up with you.

time being in business.

Speaker 9 (24:49):

the area of getting your message before the public. You
know a wise advertise the investment can help your efforts.
The new k triuble O stations, AM and FM now

Speaker 1 (25:52):
Once Steve Katlet returned to consciousness, his recovery was breathtakingly fast.
So it must be admitted, was his relationship with his
nurse Lisa Wright. Within a week after he had come
out of coma, he was ambulance. Still with the history
of deep concussion. His doctors felt he should not yet
(26:12):
be alone, a situation which was most welcome to him
and Lisa.
Speaker 2 (26:18):
Ah to be in England now that June is here.
Speaker 11 (26:22):
You're misquoting Browning, He said.
Speaker 1 (26:24):
April he was an italy busy hanky panky with Elizabeth Barrett.
I'm here now and this is my month. What's the
name of this little slice of paradise opera?
Speaker 11 (26:34):
Whittlecombe on Tadsky?
Speaker 1 (26:37):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (26:38):
Is there a lower Whittlecombe?
Speaker 1 (26:39):
I both, But that's the Oh, certainly what we have
here is much too good for the lower classes.
Speaker 2 (26:46):
With one exception.
Speaker 11 (26:47):
Oh, what's that?
Speaker 2 (26:49):
When do we make it absolutely perfect?
Speaker 11 (26:52):
What does that mean?
Speaker 12 (26:53):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (26:53):
You know, Lisa, when do you move in with me? I?
Speaker 11 (26:57):
May be sharing my furlough with your sickly just to
make sure you take care.
Speaker 1 (27:00):
Of yourself, but as a nurse nurse companion. Well, of course,
when we dreamed up this little excursion, I thought of
you more as a companion.
Speaker 11 (27:11):
I hope, I am. I try to be well.
Speaker 2 (27:13):
The days are not so bad, but the nights are lonely.
Speaker 11 (27:17):
I'm right in the next room as you're back in car.
Speaker 2 (27:19):
Oh no, not quite? Why not the same room? Two
can live as cheap as one.
Speaker 11 (27:24):
Maybe the important word there is cheap. I know all
supposed to be fair in love and war, but it
doesn't work that way for me. I am the original
old fashioned girl. You ever get me, it's going to
be for good.
Speaker 1 (27:41):
I don't know how anyone so luscious can be so forbidding.
I thought you loved me, I do love.
Speaker 2 (27:47):
You are my heart, my soul.
Speaker 11 (27:51):
God. Unless you love me back as deeply and as strongly,
you won't want to give yourself to me as completely
as I would to you, and you shouldn't unless you're sure.
Once we've committed, I'll never let you call.
Speaker 2 (28:08):
And that's what I'm supposed to be scared of.
Speaker 1 (28:11):
That's right.
Speaker 2 (28:12):
A fate worse than death.
Speaker 11 (28:14):
Oh dear Lord, I hope it would never seem to be.
Speaker 1 (28:19):
They won't they come on, Lisa laugh. It's a pretty
bright occasion. I'm uh, I'm proposing, and for once it's legal,
moral and binding. We'll be married as soon as the
law lies cat why time.
Speaker 11 (28:36):
But in the meantime there doesn't have to be any meantime.
I've already spoken with the vicar. He's been waiting for
my call for the last two days.
Speaker 1 (28:50):
I had no notion for being married, but I sure
had one big, king size yen for Lisa Wright. So
what the heck if it pleased to With a war
looking it would last forever. Nobody figured to live long
enough so it would.
Speaker 2 (29:02):
Come back to hottess.
Speaker 1 (29:04):
Did I know that two days later it would be
d Day, And for the first time it began to
look like there was an end of the tunnel somewhere.
Speaker 2 (29:10):
As that meant I.
Speaker 1 (29:12):
Wanted no part of getting shot at again, so I
wandled a desk job in London.
Speaker 2 (29:17):
Lisa's hospital was.
Speaker 1 (29:18):
There too, so we found a little flat and started
to play at housekeeping. It was all right for a
few months, and then I began to get to heaby gbs,
Hey Lisa, baby, what do you say you want to
go pop trotting?
Speaker 11 (29:30):
Oh?
Speaker 5 (29:30):
I have a hot caat.
Speaker 11 (29:31):
I just came off a four days shit.
Speaker 2 (29:33):
So do you good to cut up a little cat?
Speaker 13 (29:36):
What?
Speaker 11 (29:38):
I don't feel very much like cutting up?
Speaker 12 (29:42):
What?
Speaker 11 (29:42):
Couldn't I just be tired?
Speaker 2 (29:44):
Sure?
Speaker 11 (29:46):
You hate to be cooped up, don't you?
Speaker 2 (29:48):
No, I just thought it might be fun to cut
up a few capers.
Speaker 11 (29:50):
Let me beg off. Huh, it isn't just for myself?
Speaker 2 (29:55):
Wait, or you're not sick or anything?
Speaker 11 (29:58):
Oh I'm not sick, but I sure am anything.
Speaker 2 (30:02):
What do you mean.
Speaker 11 (30:04):
You want to give me your hand?
Speaker 2 (30:07):
Sure?
Speaker 11 (30:07):
But what do you quiet? This is a new experience
for you. Come on, put it on my tongue.
Speaker 2 (30:14):
That's not so new.
Speaker 11 (30:15):
This is something else. Well, what do you feel?
Speaker 2 (30:20):
Hmm?
Speaker 1 (30:20):
Nice putting in a little white baby. But surprise, you've
got to be kidding.
Speaker 11 (30:28):
How's that for kicks?
Speaker 2 (30:30):
You've got to be kidding?
Speaker 1 (30:32):
You mean that the age old question, the same old answer.
Speaker 11 (30:37):
How are you going to like being a father?
Speaker 7 (30:42):
Well?
Speaker 2 (30:42):
I made all the right noises.
Speaker 1 (30:44):
I hope a last I didn't guess, But I mean
this wasn't my bag at all. I was really locked
in now the anchor stuck fast. And as the war
started to open up and horizons got brighter, I began
to search around in my mind for the easiest way
out from under. And that's when I met Stan Newcomb. Hey,
this is really a jumping joint, man, You've got to
(31:06):
know it. Hey, listen, boy, I got a couple of
super girls line the top.
Speaker 2 (31:10):
You want to cut out? You're talking to a married man.
Speaker 6 (31:13):
What do you figure be for?
Speaker 1 (31:15):
But I ain't seen the old woman in two years?
Speaker 2 (31:19):
You know how it is? My wife is pregnant. It's
kind of near her time. I uh, how to be around?
Why don't you give her a buzz? And until her
things came up? What things where like?
Speaker 7 (31:29):
Like like this?
Speaker 1 (31:30):
Now now you happy in your spa?
Speaker 2 (31:33):
What spa? I mean in the armed forces? Now you
bring it up.
Speaker 1 (31:36):
Now, the way things are going, the heat is on
to get all us pilots back up in the air again.
Speaker 2 (31:41):
And me, I've had that.
Speaker 6 (31:42):
Do you like to gym with me to the Pacific?
Speaker 2 (31:46):
This war here is not enough for me. I don't know.
I want to get tangled with the Japanese.
Speaker 1 (31:51):
This is no combat frame. This is easy bucket air
as military air transport service.
Speaker 2 (31:59):
What's the poop?
Speaker 1 (32:00):
Were you based on Manila clock field? You fly out
transport from Manila to Guam?
Speaker 5 (32:05):
Or Lulu?
Speaker 2 (32:06):
Maybe in the stage a milt run?
Speaker 1 (32:08):
Best way I can think of to run out farns
and get separated.
Speaker 2 (32:11):
Hey, like what you're saying? Can you do you help
me get posted? There could be we could talk about
it later. But how about the girls? I got on
the line? How about them?
Speaker 12 (32:30):
Hello?
Speaker 1 (32:32):
Are you there?
Speaker 2 (32:33):
It's cat honey? How are you?
Speaker 11 (32:35):
I'm fine cooking up a storm, are you honey?
Speaker 2 (32:38):
I'm I'm gonna bom out on you?
Speaker 1 (32:40):
Oh no, why I can't tell you on the phone?
New orders being cut? Uh, don't don't count on me tonight.
Speaker 11 (32:50):
But I'm you back on duty tomorrow morning.
Speaker 2 (32:52):
I will operation follow up. That's a service?
Speaker 11 (32:55):
Okay?
Speaker 1 (32:57):
How there is a war on?
Speaker 2 (32:58):
We did it? Come?
Speaker 11 (33:01):
The only thing?
Speaker 2 (33:02):
Han forgive me? But I gotta cut out now?
Speaker 11 (33:04):
Sure?
Speaker 2 (33:10):
Okay? Maybe it was just a long time. Could I
know that? I mean, she wasn't due for a month.
How could I know Lisa would go into.
Speaker 1 (33:18):
Labor that particular night, or that the baby would be
born dead?
Speaker 11 (33:24):
It was a boy? If only darling, what.
Speaker 2 (33:28):
Were you The army says, jump, What are you going
to do?
Speaker 11 (33:32):
What turned up? So suddenly that was so important?
Speaker 2 (33:35):
Well we can talk about that when you're feeling better.
Speaker 11 (33:37):
There's only one thing that can make me feel better.
Cat what, I want to get out of here and
go home so we can start another one to take
his place.
Speaker 2 (33:50):
That really tore it for me.
Speaker 1 (33:53):
The last thing I ever wanted in my life was
to be tied down. A wife was bad enough, but
a kid, I figured I had a luckier escape, and
now Lisa wanted to pin me down again. Well it
was time to get out from under. I went hunting
stan Nukem, and by the time Lisa came home from hospital,
I was all set.
Speaker 11 (34:12):
Oh waity Mina, he's there for what you've done your tour.
Couldn't you have ducked down?
Speaker 2 (34:19):
Tell it to the brass They didn't think.
Speaker 11 (34:21):
So what am I going to do without you?
Speaker 2 (34:23):
It isn't forever, Lisa.
Speaker 11 (34:25):
Well maybe I can get transferred to the Pacific.
Speaker 1 (34:27):
Look, why don't we just sweat it out. The war's
got to end sometime. Meantime, my orders are cut and
I have to pull out.
Speaker 11 (34:35):
Is that what you really want Cat?
Speaker 2 (34:37):
Oh, why would I want that?
Speaker 11 (34:39):
You better not. I warned you. You bought me for
the duration, and that doesn't mean the war. It means
all the way. I'll be waiting, Cat, however long it is,
I'll be waiting.
Speaker 1 (34:58):
Okay, Lisa, so you'll be waiting.
Speaker 2 (35:00):
But I'm not ready to be tied down. You cramp
my style.
Speaker 1 (35:05):
I should have the guts to tell you straight out,
but somehow I'm not built that way. A two hours
out of Hawaii and we just crossed the international league line, Cat,
That does it feel to jump straight from today right
into tomorrow?
Speaker 2 (35:23):
Great?
Speaker 1 (35:24):
Stand just my speed. I left all my worries behind me. Oh,
I'm so relaxed to think of the sack.
Speaker 6 (35:31):
Yeah, me too, buddy.
Speaker 2 (35:35):
In the film Man, this is the life?
Speaker 6 (35:40):
But which life?
Speaker 2 (35:41):
Sleep?
Speaker 12 (35:42):
You know?
Speaker 2 (35:44):
You again? What do you want?
Speaker 7 (35:47):
Just the answer to a simple question.
Speaker 10 (35:49):
Which life are you living?
Speaker 5 (35:51):
Now?
Speaker 2 (35:51):
Mister Chad? Oh, come on, let's not hack around. I
want to sleep, but not that long last sleep? Two
to go before that?
Speaker 10 (36:01):
What one?
Speaker 2 (36:04):
Steve Catholic?
Speaker 10 (36:06):
You sacrifice the other of the child you gave no
chance to live.
Speaker 2 (36:11):
But that wasn't my fault.
Speaker 10 (36:13):
If you had been there you could have brought Lisa
to the hospital and time.
Speaker 2 (36:17):
How do you know?
Speaker 7 (36:18):
It's my business to know such.
Speaker 10 (36:20):
Things and to teach you to believe them.
Speaker 2 (36:24):
Who are you?
Speaker 1 (36:25):
Who are you?
Speaker 10 (36:26):
The answer to that question lies in your heart?
Speaker 2 (36:31):
Huh uh? Did you say something? Cared no, no, and
just had a bad dream. It's all a bad dream.
Speaker 1 (36:47):
Possibly, a man with as few ethics as Steve Catlets
could well be prone to them.
Speaker 2 (36:53):
But what is the voice that speaks to him?
Speaker 1 (36:56):
Is better self conscious remorse? Does it come from beyond
him or from his inner soul? And can it help
him spend his last life in a better fashion than
his others?
Speaker 2 (37:11):
I shall return shortly with a three.
Speaker 1 (37:14):
We're gonna stick our neck out and tell you something,
and the reason is so civil. America's shirt maker is
penneted again with what is probably the best.
Speaker 2 (37:35):
Shirt collar ever made.
Speaker 1 (37:37):
Arrows patted custom collar, and only Arrow's got it. It's
a whole inch rider at the bottom on the top
just like your neck is. It's adjustable about a full
half inch, and it's got a special nuts so the
neck man doesn't show over your top.
Speaker 2 (37:57):
See why we're sticking our neck out.
Speaker 1 (37:59):
Stick your neck to an narrow custom gallant. We're not
already you're assurance maker we ought to be.
Speaker 2 (38:11):
I'm excited about my life.
Speaker 1 (38:13):
I'm not wandering around.
Speaker 2 (38:14):
I'm really determined now.
Speaker 1 (38:16):
That's Kelly Blixton. She might still be working as a
waitress if she hadn't gone to technical school.
Speaker 2 (38:22):
Instead, she's working as an electrician.
Speaker 12 (38:25):
I started my involvement in the electrical field approximately three
years ago, and in retrospect, I was very confused about
a lot of things. At that time, I didn't feel
very good about myself. I hadn't done anything. Now, after
the number of years and the amount of study and
the amount of work that I have put in and
(38:45):
the discipline, it's not that I feel I have achieved something.
Speaker 2 (38:48):
I know I have achieved something.
Speaker 12 (38:50):
I really like who I am a lot.
Speaker 1 (38:53):
If you think technical school might be what you were
looking for, right Careers Box one eleven, Washington, d C
two four four, We'll send you a free record brochure
that could change your whole life. A public service of
this station, the US Offices of Education and the Advertising Council,
(39:21):
whatever voices or doubts or shadows haunked Steve Catlet's dreams,
they failed to cramp his style. Once he reached Manila.
Manila was a town in a mad whorld of euphoria.
MacArthur's return, the ousting of the Japanese, the return of
freedom to the island set the town on fire, and
these beautiful people gave themselves wholeheartedly to their deliveries. Oh man,
(39:47):
this is one jumping down if you can say it
against that and the women.
Speaker 2 (39:53):
You know something funny?
Speaker 11 (39:54):
I just thought of it.
Speaker 1 (39:56):
You know where we are sitting right now? They're standing outside.
Speaker 2 (40:00):
Who's standing upside down?
Speaker 7 (40:02):
He's n played our wive.
Speaker 2 (40:04):
So what's so funny about that? Oh?
Speaker 1 (40:05):
Come on, don't you get it? How could they know
what we're doing? I look in the wrong way, I sir,
hope you're right. Oh Sam, thanks, The new boy is
stay out of involvement, safety and numbers.
Speaker 2 (40:24):
For a couple of months. It was a great life.
Speaker 1 (40:26):
The girls were plentiful and the rum costs about thirty
cents a fifth flight dute.
Speaker 2 (40:30):
He was a breeze.
Speaker 1 (40:31):
We climbed the altitude, set her on automatic and take
turns sleeping off.
Speaker 2 (40:35):
The high living.
Speaker 1 (40:36):
Oh yes, we hadn't made all right, that is until
I met Pita. Have another drink baby, No, thank you, captain.
Speaker 11 (40:47):
Captain, and the name is not baby.
Speaker 1 (40:51):
I'm sorry, I don't believe I caught it when we
were introduced, I am.
Speaker 2 (40:58):
Miss. Oh, well that's a relief, is it?
Speaker 11 (41:03):
From what I know of your education? Would it make
so much difference if I were married?
Speaker 1 (41:10):
Well, of course, aren't Hugh me? Oh, free white and uncumbered,
and don't let me claim your staff. Look, why why
don't we take a walk outside and find out what
you meant by that remark.
Speaker 11 (41:24):
I could use some air, but that doesn't mean my
explanation will.
Speaker 2 (41:29):
Bring you much pleasure. I'll uh take my chances.
Speaker 1 (41:37):
Purita or Puring, which was her nickname, was a knockout.
She glowed with some inner fire. Her skin was light
burnished copper, her eyes brown liquid shot with flecks of gold,
and she moved as sleekly and gracefully as a cat.
Speaker 2 (41:53):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (41:54):
One thing she had in common with Lisa she was
untouchable unless so I. I mumbled the right words and
made the promises pleading delay only until I could get
the permission of my commanding officer to marry, which of
course I never intended to do. But the deception worked,
and Pria and I took up housekeeping without benefit of
(42:14):
clergy in her apartment in her meter downtown Manila. This
run is getting to be Dozeville. That's about a few
minutes a light chit, Jenny, Oh, what's to talk about where? Like,
for example, there's a new dame in town, white Russians,
and who has she got a sister?
Speaker 2 (42:34):
Come on, Stan, you know I don't make that kind
of scene anymore.
Speaker 1 (42:37):
Too occupied with pool reader. Uh well yeah, if you
have to know, that's pretty cozy little setup. You have
their veil, just the word of the wise. I think
twice about getting too cozy with a little little Sorio dame.
She comes to quite a Filipino family with a lot
of clouds.
Speaker 2 (42:57):
You asked him in trouble, Did I ask you for
any advice?
Speaker 1 (43:01):
I'm button up and let me get.
Speaker 2 (43:02):
Some sleep, playing dreams. Oh it's a bad habit. I
don't dream.
Speaker 1 (43:12):
But that statement was to come back to haunt me,
because a few weeks later, on a long haul to Honolulu,
I was rock to discover my wife was not as
far away as I thought she was. Even before I
landed ground control, it told me that Lisa was in
the islands. And waiting for me at the Kamalama Hotel.
Speaker 11 (43:28):
Darling, darling, darhing, we're back together again.
Speaker 1 (43:33):
It's greatly, it's just super.
Speaker 11 (43:34):
But how the world shouldn't be awaiting you any longer?
So I came running.
Speaker 2 (43:38):
But how did you manage to wangle it? Hey, you're
in cities?
Speaker 7 (43:43):
You mean that cutting?
Speaker 11 (43:44):
The war's almost at an end. My enlistment was up.
I grabbed it, the chance to get out.
Speaker 7 (43:49):
But your your career, your career.
Speaker 11 (43:52):
Oh you think I wanted to be a nurse. It
was my conscience working. Now I'm concentrating on something near
to home US.
Speaker 2 (44:02):
I don't quite follow.
Speaker 11 (44:03):
She was, I can get clarents. I'm coming to Manila,
said we can start being man and wife again.
Speaker 2 (44:10):
That really joded me.
Speaker 1 (44:12):
I was gonna have to do something about pouring and fast.
All the way back on our return to Manila, I
was trying to figure it out.
Speaker 2 (44:21):
No, no, no, no, wait a minute, he can't wake up? Man,
wake up? I thought you didn't dream. What happened? You
were talking in your sleep? Well, I say, none of
you uncles stand don't know.
Speaker 1 (44:36):
So your wife is moving back in on you, and
you had yourself set up so bready on each side
of the International Day cline. It's the two words. Looks
like now you're going to have settled for one? Yeah,
but which that shouldn't be too hard to readers from
another culture, another background, and anyway she can support you
(45:00):
the same kind.
Speaker 2 (45:00):
Of styles of Lisa Ride. And what does that mean?
Don't you know who Liza is? Her family?
Speaker 1 (45:06):
I mean there's been a war on Remember I never
had a chance to meet them, at least never said
much about him. Yes, she figured she didn't have to,
not about George Lowell? And right, you ever heard her name?
I know her father's name is George and that hey, hey,
quit a minute, do you mean to steal there white
(45:27):
tools the aircraft factory? Yes, father a billionaire.
Speaker 2 (45:30):
At least once.
Speaker 1 (45:32):
Okay, cat, now can you make up your mind which
way you're going? A joke?
Speaker 2 (45:39):
There wasn't any doubt which way? But how? And then
my old luck came back.
Speaker 1 (45:45):
They dropped the bomb, Japan surrendered about the USS Missouri
and suddenly discharges.
Speaker 2 (45:50):
What a diamond doesn't.
Speaker 1 (45:51):
It was easy to persuade Lisa to forget Manila, since
I'd be home the only problem was pouring, who kept
making more and more noises about marriage. Still it looked
as if I might get away with it till one
evening at dinner time. I was scheduled on a run
that night at midnight when she dropped our own private bomb. Hi, porie, honey,
(46:14):
ahlad you got home.
Speaker 2 (46:15):
I just got orders to part again tonight.
Speaker 11 (46:17):
You are not going anywhere tonight.
Speaker 2 (46:21):
Hey, hey, baby, these are orders in the army. You
gott obey will.
Speaker 11 (46:24):
Yeh shet you your poisoned tongue?
Speaker 2 (46:30):
What's gotten into you?
Speaker 11 (46:32):
You have taken me, shamed me and used me. And
I was fool enough to listen to your promises, furing furing,
I love you soon. We will marry as soon as
the commanding officer is permission.
Speaker 2 (46:49):
That's Air Force regulation.
Speaker 7 (46:50):
You got awake.
Speaker 11 (46:51):
Couldn't give you permission when you know she knows that
you are already married, you have a wife. You cannot
marry me, you liar you. If I can't have you,
no one can. I kill myself for how you have
(47:11):
shamed me. First, First I kill ill down, I kill
you you nothing.
Speaker 7 (47:22):
I'll take that night, I get your heart, give it
to me. No, no, let's get rid of it. Then
I kill you with my hands have a heart.
Speaker 11 (47:37):
I have no heart anymore. You will not leave. I
will scream the town down before you do, because you
made me so. Will never required, not.
Speaker 7 (47:51):
As long as one.
Speaker 2 (48:00):
Brine. I didn't mean to pour. Oh no, she's dead.
It happened so fast. I couldn't believe it.
Speaker 1 (48:12):
She was so little, her neck it had just snapped
under my hands. At first I was peril mist. It
took three or four drinks before my mind started to move,
and then I knew what I had to do. I
wrapped her in a blanket, waited for dusk, carried her
to my jeep. On the way to the field, I
sidetracked to a deserted bridge and dropped her in the
(48:34):
Posse River.
Speaker 2 (48:36):
The tide was going on.
Speaker 1 (48:38):
With any luck, she'd be carried out to Manila Bay
and the China Sea, and I hit it. For what
I'd made up my mind would be my last flight
out of Manola.
Speaker 7 (48:47):
I can't what's the matter with you?
Speaker 1 (48:49):
You're Jim, there's your name. I uh, I don't feel
so hard. Maybe I'm coming down with something. Well, maybe
you better let me take the first leg to Guam.
Speaker 2 (49:00):
Sleep it off. I wouldn't have believed it. I did sleep,
and like I'd been knocked out.
Speaker 1 (49:06):
Then at bombs stand concked out while I took over,
and now wide away, the horror of it was back
with me.
Speaker 2 (49:13):
What to do? What to do?
Speaker 1 (49:17):
If only, if only I could go back, if only
today had never been? And then, suddenly, gazing blankly at
the instrument board, in a sort of blinding flash, I
saw we were just about to cross the international date line.
Speaker 2 (49:32):
If only I could gain today, if only there really
was a gift of time that would what what would
you do with it?
Speaker 7 (49:42):
To you again, it's me, Oh what would you do
with the day?
Speaker 1 (49:50):
I wouldn't kill her, I'd find some other way.
Speaker 7 (49:53):
And what would you give it?
Speaker 2 (49:56):
You had to child anything, anything.
Speaker 10 (50:00):
Can go see if you can find the way.
Speaker 1 (50:06):
There was a blinding flash of light, and then darkness,
and then morning, and waking up and repeating the day,
as if in a dream.
Speaker 2 (50:16):
I saw Porene off to work. We said the same words.
Speaker 1 (50:20):
I reported to the base, got my orders to fly
out at twenty four hundred. That night, I saw the
same people ate the same food, And at last it
was evening and I was waiting for Porene to come home.
Speaker 2 (50:34):
Hi Porene. Honey, I'm glad you got home.
Speaker 11 (50:37):
I don't believe it. What do you mean, I just
came from your commanding officer. I know the truth. Cut,
I know you are married.
Speaker 2 (50:50):
I was going to tell you we are.
Speaker 11 (50:53):
You well, it doesn't matter.
Speaker 2 (50:57):
What are you going to do about it?
Speaker 11 (50:59):
What are you afraid of that? I will tell your
wife ruin her life that you have mine.
Speaker 2 (51:06):
I'm begging you, pulling it.
Speaker 11 (51:09):
It would killy say you have nothing to worry about.
I don't want her blood on my hands.
Speaker 7 (51:16):
I leave it to yours.
Speaker 11 (51:19):
You will go back to her. Yes, she would be
better off without you, but that is her business. I
was a fool to give myself to you. You are
not worth it. I come of an.
Speaker 7 (51:33):
Old and proud.
Speaker 11 (51:35):
Race and I have no right to pollute my bloodlines.
Now get out of my sight.
Speaker 2 (51:41):
What what are you going to do?
Speaker 11 (51:44):
That is none of your business. Who don't worry. I
will never trouble you again.
Speaker 2 (51:50):
You mean I'm free?
Speaker 1 (52:00):
Now once again, I'm sitting at the controls of the plane,
crossing the international dateline and listening.
Speaker 2 (52:07):
To the voice.
Speaker 10 (52:08):
So we are back where we were, Yes, but I
fixed it seemed to me the girl kissed it.
Speaker 2 (52:16):
What's the difference. She's gone. I'm free.
Speaker 6 (52:19):
You are free from her, but not from me.
Speaker 10 (52:23):
I'm grounding you for good, mister Patot.
Speaker 2 (52:26):
It's last, But you can't. I still have one life left.
Speaker 7 (52:31):
Oh you did have one life left. But when you
went back, you made.
Speaker 10 (52:36):
An exchange, or rather took someone else, said pouring Purien.
Speaker 7 (52:44):
But I didn't kill her.
Speaker 10 (52:44):
No, she killed herself, jumped from a bridge over the
Pasic River to float out on the tide to Manila of.
Speaker 2 (52:51):
A and the China feet. But that was a knife
for of course, it was your own.
Speaker 5 (52:57):
Come along.
Speaker 7 (52:58):
Don't waste any time anymore. But Lisa, Lisa needs me.
Speaker 10 (53:03):
The girl who just died answered that your wife is
a million times better off without someone like you.
Speaker 2 (53:10):
No, no, you can't.
Speaker 7 (53:12):
You can't have it your.
Speaker 2 (53:13):
Way for once and for all.
Speaker 10 (53:16):
So prop the international date line and.
Speaker 6 (53:19):
Move into tomorrow.
Speaker 7 (53:20):
Cat too bad?
Speaker 2 (53:22):
Is it that that's the end? There aren't any more
tomorrows for you anymore. It was a small squib in
the papers.

vicinity of the International Dateline. The pilot, Captain Stephen Catlet,
was presumed lost with the plane. By some miraculous chance,
the co pilot, Lieutenant Stanley Nucom, fell clear during the
wild descent and was able to make a parachute land him.
(54:01):
He was picked up in good condition by a passing destroyer.
Lieutenant Nukem was unable to account for the accident.
