APPROVAL GIVEN RAIL SALvAG|NG
45 Miles of Track in Hart- ford to Be Removed;
 lO,4OO Feet Locally

Approval has been given in Wash ington for the Connecticut Work Projects Administration to ask for bids on a contract for the removal of some 45 miles of abandoned trolley tracks - 490,000 lineal feet of single rails - in, the city of Hartford, WPA Administrator Howard Staub announced today.
 This is one of five such produc- tion-rental contracts planned by WPA in the state, other commu1i- ties where similar arrangements are proposed for rail removal being Norwich, Manchester, Waterbury and Middletown. The Norwich project has been approved and is out for bids, while approval is awaited on the other jobs.
 The largest contract, in Hartford. will call for rail removal, with per- sonnel furnished by the contractor, cutting of the rails and their re- moval to shipping point. All ap- purtenant steel will also be removed by the contractor as well as all pav- ing debris.
 The WPA will participate in re- pairs to Hartford streets only to the extent of furnishing labor. It Is estimated that the cost to the city, deducting the money obained from sale of the steel will be well under $l00,000.
 As outlined for the other four cities, the contracts will call for removal of the rails only. WPA crews will transport the steel from the site to shipping points and clean up excavated paving and will assist in restoring the roadways to serviceability.
 Tn Norwich the contract will call for the removal of 17,330 lineal feet; Manchester, 12,566 feet: Waterbury. 10,4OO feet. and Middletown 7,5OO feet.

CHILDREN OF ABRAHAM

1 VI kAO0k11l<22N1
The book-loving public probably
realized the true stature Of
Sholem Asch as a novelist only
with the publication of THE
Nazarene," Book of the Month
Club selection which brought him
fame as one of the foremost
writers of our time E. Of Asch,
the short story writer, the general
public has known but little.
Now, however, with the issu-
ance of a collection of twenty
nine of his short stories, it be-
comes clear that although he may
not be equally effective in this
medium, his efforts are well wor-
thy Of attention The stories
in Children of Abraham" do not
present uniform quality of locale
or mood Perhaps this is in
evitable in view of the fact that
they were written over period
of thirty years.
Asch does have the knack of
being able to tell a story in the
mood peculiar to its own pur-
pose Thereby he usually a.
chieves his purpose in each in
stance in creating the effect
which he had in mind Having
had the pleasure of meeting Asch
a number of times. this reviewer
looked for that story in the collec-
ton which would approach the
theme closest to the authors
heart It is The Boy Saint
which develops Asch's favorite
idea, often emphasized also by
such Protestant theologians as
! Conrad Moehlman, about n e
/ Judeo-Christian tradition . In
his own skillful fashion the writ
er makes the experiences center
ing about the boy saint, Joel,
manifest proof of the close affin-
ity between Judaism and Christ
ultimate goals are concerned.
Children of Abraham" runs the
whole gamut of time and place
from the Roman Carnival taking
place in the Middle Ages to the
tortured memories of the refugee
professor who relieves in America
the mental agonies he endured in
Hitler Germany.
Only a reader familiar with the
universal sympathy and perspect-
i've of Asch can appreciate in ad-
vance the real quality of Children
! Of Abraham"

rice Samuel and published by G. P.
