Sleep" (Viking: $2.5O.
 A novel built around the flight of South American general from Europe after the outbreak of the war, book features vivid portrayals of characters, and menus that make your mouth water, even if you don't quite understand their foreign ver- biage.
 General Leonidas Erosa is quaint one-he doteS on fine foods, beauti- ful women, expensive cigars, and rare virtageS. He also has pe- riodic fit. All these together makes him stand out like a sore thumb. But you can't exactly forget Miss Graves, his taciturn housekeeper who has passion for committing suicide; Anselmo, the South Amer ican Indian who runs the three Great Danes; Monsieur Vitasse, the temperamental chef; Herr and Frau Doktor von Despard, who also fled Europe at the wars outbreak and who dote on festive boards; and ah! that ravishing Spanish beauty, Se- nora Lopez, one of the generals "Switharts."
 Book moves rapidly from Biarritz to New York to South America. Leaves you sort of breathless-and doubtfully hungry, after stumbling through this menu: "Mackerel in white wine; fricadelles with sauce piquante, carbonnade of lambis, chipolata, calf head en tortue, be- casses flambees .. :"
 STATION MASON
 The job of a radio commentator is pie alongside the job It. John Mason Brown of the Navy had dur ing the invasion of Sicily. In his book, ITO All Hands" (Whittlesey House: $2.75), he explains how, dur ing the long trek to Sicily from an East coast port, he kept the entire personnel of the huge invading ar- mada informed of the progress of the invasion fleet as the sole an- nouncer from the bridge of the ship of Rear Adml. A. G. Kirk, con- mander of the Sixth Amphibious Force.
 Action aplenty. from the time of departure until the actual invasion, is portrayed in the daily communi- ques Brown read to the force at set times during the day. Espe- cially interesting are his messages of the converging of the fleet on Sicily, of the last-minute prepara- tions, and the vivid action of the invasion itself. Swell reading.

Anna teur detectives, although they don't know it, they are as opposite as day and night.

You'll read of his heroic struggle in the cause of the Chi nese lepers; how he overcame native superstitions, turned hell into Heav- en for the afflicted of the grave yards of China, built a veritable Gar den of Eden for them, and then guarded them against the inroads of ruthless Japanese invader.
 You'll read of stocky Father Ber- hard Meyer, the former from Iowa, whose toil-hardened hands worked wonders with the soil of China, and became hands of solace with the invasion of the Japs and the fall of Hong Kong.

 Van Ness supplies a fascinating background, based on not only his personal experiences of 40 years spent among the Arabs, but on a ottoy VI ClACAl oLlI 4SllsylO1l. In the lands of these people were cradled our own religions and even many of the words we speak. But this delving into the past Is done principally to acquaint the reader with the rich history which lies be- hind the race.
 The book is really aimed at to- morrow, when the Arabs bid for a more prominent role in world af- fairs will make it imperative for those who deal with him to know him as person. To Van Ees he is, 'an intensely human person whom you would be glad to welcome into your home, who would not easily betray your confidence in him |. a friend whose friendship you would not willingly forfeit once you had gained it."
