Her name was Delilah. Men
loved her and hated her. Men
fought for her, died for her. She
was q destroyer in the Asiatic
fleet.
Marcus Goodrich tells the
story of this ship and the men
who manned her in an exciting
novel, "Delilah" (Farrar and
Rhinehart: $2.75). It's q mans
story, about men, for men.
There isn't Z romantic moment
in the book, unless you can call
it romance when the Captains
wife sends a message, II love
you," via wig-wag, for the entire
navy to read.
Goodrich IL q navy man, serv-
ed on q destroyer that undoubt-
eddy provides the background
for his story. He has worked,
publishers report, some 20 years
on this novel and one that Is
to follow.
He has to write . sequel, for
no reader Is going to be sat
isfied with the Delilsh's story
up to the declaration Of war In
1917. There must be more, es-
pecially when you know that
Goodrich's destroyer made q
l2,00O-mile dash from Manila
to Gibraltar that fateful April,
engaged submarines, and was
sunk after q year In the war
zone.
Goodrich has crammed his
story full Of individual histories,
giving an insight into the per-
sonal makeup Of each officer
and many Of the men aboard
the destroyer. There's the
great O'Connel, . fighting Irish
man; Warrington, the intellec-
tual; Lieutenant Fitzpatrick, the
Captain, and oil the others, each
merged into the personality of
the ship.
As for action--there's the
dash 10 Q mutinous island with
the monk who sang his way in

there's the explosion on the SUBJ
marine; liberty parties the
sharks attack on the swimming
party; adventure In the under

FLUNKEY STEALS
KINGS THUNDER
When Harry Davenport remi-
nisced over a 18th birthday cake
few weeks ago, he told of a
classic case of scene-stealing on
a night when John F. Sheridan
was playing Richard III.
In the fourth act q hunkey
rushes in and announces: M
Lord, the Duke of Buckingham
is taken!" This is good news
for the king, who wastes no time
in ordering the dukes execu-
ton and rushing of to the bat
tie.
Sheridan would draw his
sword and shout Away toward
Salisbury" Davenport recalled.
Then he and his men would
do what he called taking the
stage'-marching toward the
footlights and then exiting with
a flourish.
But this one night we had
q substitute courier who came
on and said, 'M'Lord, the Duke
of Buckingham is taken-and
we have cut off his head!" There
stood Sheridan, sword in the air
and all his thunder stolen. He
turned to the messenger and
snarled, The hell you say!"

CLOSED WORLD OR OPEN woRLDs
PUTTING aside for moment the
,prjncipol issues Of Wendell Wilkes
oppeoronce before the Senote Foreign
Relotions Committee, let US look at the
lost paragraph Of his prepared stote-
r,ent. Ii is worth reoding and re-reoding
because in it he so succinctIy and cleor-
" stoted the greet issue which divides
the world.
We must have courage, we must
brovely do W1ot our moral sense tells US
ought to be done, sold WiIIkie, and we
must prepare ourselves to toke q port in
ioyina HE foundations Of q world such
as we would want our children to live in.
'Thot world cannot be closed
world. Il must be on open world" he
said,
There Willkie put his finger on the
brood issue between the free notions OF
the world and the totoIitorion notions.
r is not q question Of forms Of govern
rrent.
Ii is fair to soy that the rest Of the
world was middlino Indifferent when
Mussolini seized power in ltoIy. True,
tie world gagged q little when the cos
Tor oil heroes swept across ltoIy. and
struddered when vorious freedom-lov-
!. ina people were sunmorily put to deoth.
But in the main, the world was indiffer
ont, and is Indifferent today, to what
kind of government ltoly hos within
)toIy.
ss So with Germony. The rise to power
pf Hitler wos viewed with q simil6Ki IN
difference as long as it appeared to be
Il purely Germon motter. Again, the
outside world was nouseoted by the
srocioI precautions, the blood baths. the
concentration camps. But as long as
Germany alone was forced to wolIow in
the bed she had made for herself. the
world remained restIessIy tolerant.
After all, the manner in which any
people conducts its own internal offoirs
IS principally the responsibility Of thot
people The same feeling, in remote
way, applied to Russia.
Then it gradually become opporent
thot no totoIitorion system was, or
could be, content with that. The nature
xof oil three demanded constont inter-
sssference with the offoirs Of other coun-
tries. All meddled directly in the inter-
mol politics Of others. Such tolerance as
EotF1ers extended to them wos not re-

by regimes founded and based on intol-
ieronce, built on evoneeIizotion.
