Children of Abraham

By Sholen1 ASch. Translated
from the Yiddish by Maurice
Samuel. (Putndm's)
This Is collection Of short stories
dealing, as their name suggests. with
Jewish life. For the most part
they concern Jews in Poland; some
OF the tales, however, are set in
other European countries and some
in America. One and all treat of
their charar ers from the racial
point of view; their men and women
are Jews first and men and women
afterward.
Observance of Jewish customs,
fidelity to the tribal tie, persecution
on racial grounds, longing for the
Messiah-these are the recurring
themes Of the collection. Mr.. Asch
is an accomplished story-teller, but
fundamentally he has only one story
to tell-the story Of the Jewish
people living in an alien world
which, to their belief. is impure and
which often is hostile. Any one Of
his stories is effective, but there is
a great sameness to the collection.

Arms and the People
by Alden SteUenS

By Alden Stevens. (Hdrper.)
Here is bird's-eye picture of the
American people at war-men in
the training camps. men and women
in civilian defense, farmers tilling
the soil, miners boring underground
for valuable ores and wheels of in
| dustry turning at an ever-increasing
pace. It's not profound economic
or sociological study by any means,
but a thoroughly readable book,
apparently written as a progress re-
port for Mr.. and Mrs. Average
American.
Of interest 70 local readers will
be the chapter. Washington: Su-
per Boom Town." Here again is an
overall picture. made bizarre and
slightly terrifying by stressing only
the most spectacular aspects of our
problems. The author aSsails the
District government as an "anach-
ronistic, wasteful and undemocratic
hodgepodge," and observes that the
commission form of government IS
generally regarded as outdated and
undesirable Those are sweeping
charges, and it is not generally
agreed that the commission form
is outmoded, for it has a number
Of staunch supporters among civic
leaders.
So far as the postwar period is
concerned, Mr. Stevens warns that
we must be prepared to meet de-
mobilization with a system Of gov
ernment and industrial management
capable of the task" He argues that
jobs are the key to better Amer
ica, and that the first essential is
to keep up production. and with 1t
wages purchasing power and full
employment" He concludes on the
hopeful note that while the details
are admittedly complicated, the
problem is not beyond our power
to solve, with our resources, man
power and strength.

body Of the antique dealer. The
frail, somewhat effeminate fellow
develops 7aggering, aggressive ways.
He fores. Chers with roisterers. His
wife hardly knows him. He picks
out third man, one who resembles
his former self, and begins bullying
him. He is in every way repeating
the patterns Of The man whom he
has killed. Eventually he commits
suicide.
This harmless story would be we'll
enough in itself, but Mr. Walpole
has given it somewhat ridiculous
turn by assuring us, a la Stevenson,
that his two men represent good
and evil. both in their ultimate
forms. AS the antique dealer shows
no particular virtues except absti-
nence from strong drink and pro-
family, and as the painters worst
sins are boozing and drawing
naughty pictures, it hard to feel
that either of the pair represents
anything so portentous What
might have been a satisfactory
melodrama Is sunk, therefore, by
the weight of the moral tied on.

No Retreat

By Anna Rduschning. (Bobbs-
MerriU)
The author Of this book is the
wife of DR.. Hermann Rauschning
author of The Revolution of Nj
hilism." Mrs. Rauschning has done
no more than retell, in personal
terms, the story which her husband
told in terms of political philosophy
in that famous book.
When the NaZis ceased to trust
the doctor, they turned their Gus
tomary weapons Of persecution on
him, in which range was included
abuse Of his family. Spies were
placed in the Rauschning home,
the children were subjected to in
suits at Hitler youth meetings, the
dogs were poisoned, and outrageous
signs were posted on their gates.
When DR.. Rauschning fled from
Danzig, just escaping assassins who
came to his home, Mrs. Rauschning
remained behind, and tried to man
age the farm into which they had
put most of their capital. But her
products were boycotted, and she
was finally forced to sell at the
Nazis' own figure. She then fled to
France, and subsequently to Amer
ioe.
That is the story she tells here.
Unlike her husband, she says she
was never a believer in Naziism and
regretted his conversion to that
party.
