A Book a Day
How Man Saves His Life by Losing It
BY BRUCE CATION

We have had novels irnumerable about the suffering of political pri- soners in the Hitler concentration camps. Too many of them have been mere cattalogs of horrors which pile shock or shock until the reader gets numb.
 There is something different however, about Days of Wrath by Andre Malraux (Random House: 41.T6).
 Here is 6 novel which, although 1t relates the experiences of one such prisoner, contrives to empha- size the impcnderables. It depicts 6 moment in world history, as Wal do Frank remarks in his trtroduc- ton, when an old and Q new world are in conflict, with all the hue mane values of civilization hanging in the balance; and does 1t simply and powerfully, by following the thoughts of Q young radical who lies in his cell ct the mercy of Hit ler's torturers.
 The story itself is brief. The young radical iG arrested, peaten unmercifully, locked up to await death, and then unexpectedly re leased. He flees to safety in Czechoslovakia, tarries there one ly to catch his breath, and then heads back into Germany, know- ing that he Is going to his death. But bound in with the story is Q moving illustration of one of the oldest of texts: that the man who saves his life, loses it, while he who loses his life does scme- how, in some miraculous and in- accountable manner, save 1t for ever.
 That is not to say that this is a book of cloudy mysticism. On the contrary, it is very much the cp- posite. But our imperfect and selflsh race does produce men who will die gladly for the sake of utter strangers.
 Days of Wrath" describes one, and shows why his sacrifice was worthwhile.

Selected Poem
RAIN IN THE WOOD.

RAIN IN THE WOOD.
 (Charles Madam in the New York sun) Rain in the quiet wood, A shadow of sound On the still leaves, on the boughS, on the tented
 branches,
 On the ground, Silences every song. Like seasons change Works in the moss in the mold in the mellow wood, As subtle as strange As song in wild birds throat The dead take power. The old stump opens leaf the moldering root fungus flower

Well, it looks now as if the National Baseball League could continue operating for few more years. Its defeat of the American League All-Star team Tuesday gives the older franchise the right to hold up it's head and perhaps do bit of chortling. Critics had the National
 Leaguers consigned to the dump, but their play Tuesday must have convinced all that there's life in the old dog yet.

The special session of the CalifOr-
MIA state legislature now meeting in
Sacramento, will attempt to authorize
appropriation of relief funds for eX-
penditure this year rather than next
year. 1t will seek to make available
S2,500,000 of the S24,000,000 available
for direct relief during the next fiscal
year No new taxes will be necessary,
nor should any be considered. In fact,
the next regular session of the legiSla-
ture would prove the most popular in
history if the lawmaking body devoted
most of its time to pruning down taxes,
rather than levying additional ones
Many families in California need
direct relief, undoubtedly. Just as sure
ly, the taxpayers in California need re-
lief. Their burden has been a mounting
one for several years. So complicated
is the taxation structure that even men,
bers of the harassed state board Of
equalization do not fully comprehend its
ramifications The board, another in the
relief line, needs relief from its liquor
control duties SO it will have time to
study the tax structure Such a study
would be a thOroughgoing benefit to that
portion Of the public which pays the bill
of government.
1t is not humanity to let human suf-
fering go unappeaSed, so the legislature
is meeting to consider direct relief APP
preparations. 1t is not in common sense
to burden the taxpayer beyond the load
he can carry-and SO the legislature,
while it is on the subject, might well
consider relief for him.

If FL CentranS had gone to the polls
in force Monday. it is probable that the
bond issues for storm drain system
and a combined city hall and library
would have carried. Many residents of
the city are sorry that they did not car
~. Their defeat meant a more lengthy
delay in municipal Improvement.
The city's civic leaders are at fault.
The chamber of commerce. the city
council and the newspapers must share
the blame None of them realized the
necessity for an active campaign To put
over the propositions. Realization came
only with defeat.
The average voter. however. IS not
entirely free from blame In a form of
government which depends upon his
vote, he stayed away from the polls. If
the same were true in every election,
there soon would be no need for any
election. No one can complain of de-
Velopment, or of the lack Of it, when he
had an opportunity and failed To take
ii to voice his opinion.
Ell Centre needs a storm drain syS-
TEN, and it may be that FL CentrO, for
the sake of its civic pride. needs new
city hall and library. Yet, for lack of
sufficient interest at the voting booths,
Ell Centre will have neither-at least
for some time to come. No one made
any effort to see that the voters were
contacted and urged to cast their ballot.
Most of us thought it unnecessary.
The resulting defeat for the bond
issues may prove a lesson to the city's
leadership groups in future instances.
