Lives Around Us
By Alan Deuce.
Cre1tipe
Age.J

Contemplation OF natures mira
cles and commonplaces more than
once has been suggested as a means
OF giving ones harrassed self a
personal serenity, a shelter of escape
easily available to all. Thoreau, of
course, was the greatest American
champion of this thesis. But for
the reason that his written reflec-
tlons frequently became interlocked
with philosophizings along other
lines, his writings regrettably never
nave appealed to a vast lay audience.
In this respect, Alan Devoe's Lives
Around Us" stands a considerably
better chance for wide circulat ton.
For not only are his observations
and guiding philosophy sound; they
are expressed with a directness and
an economy of phrase that are the
essence of simplicity.
MI. Devoe submits at the outset
Most desperately, it seems to me,
| do most of us stare at the bloody
contemporary chaos and long to find
in it some little place of tranquility
some bedrocks of certainty to which
we may hold, some regions of per-
manence and security and refresh
! ment for our spirit =. There is
one place to look. We may look at
| our universe"
Lives Around U.s." which, Incl
dentally, is setoff gracefully by %
woodcuts by Frank Utpatel, is a
small book. Just as its readers will
derive from it a profound respect for
the 20 little creatures with which it
IS concerned, so will they feel they
have experienced modest revela-
ton in contemporary literature

Golf Is a Friendly Game
BIZ Paul Calico. (KnoDf,

~~sSs~Ss 'AA'SSFJ'
From the busy pen of Paul Calico,
famous for his Hiram Holiday"
stories and, more recently, the script
for the motion picture based on the
life of the late Lou Gehrig, Pride of
the Yankees" comes this amusing
yarn about golf and golfers. William
Fowler, promotion manager of A. r.
Mallow 81 Co., manufacturers of
golf1ng equipment, finds himself
continually In hot water as he tours
the circuit of outstanding tourna-
ments in quest of "the golfer of to-
morrow" the big time winner who,
he hopes, will indorse his firms
products in preference to those of a
rival concern. The fact that the
names Of the pros mentioned are
flctional does not detract from the
interest in the various stories re-
lated by Mr.. Calico, who has clev-
erly combined golf matches, love
matches and personal feuds to make
a very entertaining book.

By Percy Marks. (Reynal e.
Hitchcock
Full Flood" tells the story of
young man of Is, handicapped by a
spinal curviture, and his fight to
answer the question of the hour,
What Can I Do to Help?" Terry
Price finds his spirit stifed with
well-meant kindness and sympathy.
1t is difficult for him to fight his
father, his surgeon and his sweet
heart, all of whom want to help him
make his life easier. When war is
declared, he finds his place because
of his excellent knowledge of the
japanese language.
Mr.. Marks takes his theme from
a passage by Stevenson which points
out that the best cure for a physi-
cally handicapped person is to
plunge into life and work as best he
can. 1t is a quiet tale, told with
much needless dialogue. Terry's
trials and tribulations become bore
some long before the book reaches
conclusion. Full Flood" will
hardly enhance Mr.. Marks stature

His records on how to beat drums

He has won innumerable cham

dehydrating facilities said to be

Future requirements for dried

The dehydration expansion pro-

requirements of dehydrated fruits
and vegetables will be about 400

meats will necessitate doubling of

Byrd Says President
Erred in Figures on
Federal Employees
Committee Head Asserts
True Fucts' Present
Different Picture
B. the Associated Press.

B. the Associated Press.
Senator Byrd, Democrat, OF
Virginia believes that President
Roosevelt was not in possession
of "the true facts" when he as
serted Tuesday that nearly 60
per cent of the civilian employees
of the Federal Government are
working at war production jobs.
The Virginian declared in a
statement yesterday that "it is al
ways confusing to speak in terms Of
percentages" He added that he
now is obtaining direct information
as to the Federal employees engaged
in actual war construction work and
in clerical and other activities.
II am Of the impression" Senator
Byrd said, that these definite fig-
ures will show somewhat different
picture than the percentage figures
quoted by the President. Even the
total Of civil service employees as
given by the President is not up to
date
when the President says the va
rious agencies of the Government
in and out of Washington are not
overstaffed, can only reach the
conclusion that his subordinates,
who should have known better, have
not given him tl> true facts"
While Mr.. Roosevelt said the Gov
ernment had about 2,5O0.0O0 civil
ian employees, Senator Byrd declared
official statistics at his disposal
showed there were more than 27OO,-
600 last August 81.
On that same date, Senator Byrd
added, there were some 285 900
civilian employees In Washington, of
whom only 2l,861, or TT per cent,
were classified as mechanical work.
ers. He said he had no doubt the
total in the Capital now stands at
300 900 or more.
The committee for reduction Of
| non-essential expenditures, of which
Senator Byrd is chairman. will hold
an executive session today to discuss
the National Youth Administration
and the Farm Security Administra-
ton. Senator Byrd said he favored
abolition OF both agencies.
