This novel depicts the misfortunes
of the small-town Midwestern farm
er from 1924 to the crash of 1929
The narrative is woven around the
indomitable spirit of the Widow
Mantz and her almost selfish love
for her youngest son, Otto. She seems
hardly aware of the existence OF
her other children. and their mild
successes or serious failures make
no impression upon her.
Covering, as it does, that period OF
farm foreclosure, bootlegging and
gangsters, Mr.. Corey's story is more
a piece of reporting than a novel
1t is, rather, a series of episodes
and the most interesting scenes are
those Incidental to the narrative
itself. j. WILLIAM RUPPEL, Jr.

proposed Washington auxiliary
police force, along with those who
volunteer for various services with

be under way in June, according to

the District Defense Council, which
urged the enlistment and training
of 1900 men and women to be
available for use in emergency by
the regular police force, its Wom-
ems Bureau and the United States
Park Police. The registration plan
apparently was to have lists avail
able If and when formal approval
of the auxiliary police force is
adopted.

felt he should be replaced as execu-
tive officer of the District council,
because of pressure of other munich
pal duties, but no action has been
taken on his request. He and the
Defense Council committee chair
men, who met with him yesterday,

A 13-year-old lad from Detroit
won the national spelling champion
ship here today-flrst boy to capture
the honor since 1927.
He Is Louis Edward SiSSman, an
eighth-grade student in a private
school, who won the $500 first prize
money after spelling down % other
young word wizards in the finals of
the contest held at the National
Press Club.
He clinched the championship on
his ability to spell chrysanthemum-
a word the runnerup, Phyllis Davis
of Akron. Ohio, had misspelled.
Phyllis, who also is IS and is an
eighth-grade student, left the first
"h" out of the word.
The two had spelled word after
word in Commute last round after
all other contestants had been elimi-
mated. They sat face to face on a
platform while an audience of par
ents, newspapermen and other con-
testants gasped at their ability to
spell.
Third place was won by Homer
Lyon, jr, of Miami. Fla.-eliminated
on his 46th word, "ague."
Louis profited during the spelling
bee from the two years of study
he had had in Latin. His hobby
in model airplanes and his chief
interests in life are eating and read
ing. His father is commercial
artist in Detroit
Once, when there were only six
contestants left on the platform,
Louis had almost been eliminated
because he misunderstood the pro-
nunciation of a word given him by
DR.. w. Hayes Yeager, George Wash
ington University public speaking
professor. The word was "rubi-
cund," but Louis thought DR.. Yeager
had said "Rubicon." The judges
waved him off the stand but when
the misunderstanding was cleared
up and the word defined. he spelled
rubicund correctly and was allowed
to continue.
Phyllis received $500 in prize
money and the 500 third prize went
to Homer Lyon, jr.. of Miami.
