and the -repatriation of Jews from
German concentration camps.

They were married a week la-

a small two-room apartment in
Buffalo, N. Y., where he drives
a cab . . He had gone down
there for the same reason , . and
both were fooled by each other
in their eagerness for the easy
way . . . But, as the saying goes,
all's well that end's well . . . The
supposed catastrophe has turned
out alright . . . Both have fallen
deeply in love with each other
and are living happily ever aft-
er . . . It's a big joke to them
now.
