and their capitalistic interests

 On the whole, Kahler's ''new ap- proach" gives one a feeling that. after all, man has progressed, that his foundation is strong and that the world will improve. He Is optimistic and hopeful. The book might be a good one for the diplo- mats to read on the way to the postwar peace conference.
 BEST SELLER?
 You career gals who are headed for the big-time would do well to hearken to the tale of fabulous Devon Elliott. At 37 Devin is tops in the beauty field, runs 8 swank Fifth Avenue salon with branches throughout the country, manufact- ures her own preparations, owns town and country home with all the f1xin's, and is attractive to boot. What more does career woman want? Plenty, says IIka Chase. author of we Cry in Bed" Doubleday Doran: $250).
 Devon's private life is not so successful. Happily married for seven years to scientist Tim, she is thrown for 8 loss when Tim renegs on his well-paid job as laboratory head and insists on going bask to research. Pure science be- ing what it is Tim moves out of the East River mansion because he can no longer afford to keep up his end of 1t and out of Devon,s life. Enter Kurt Fabri, European refugee who has way with the ladies. Re- suits for Devon are devastating. and therein lies the story.
 Miss Chase paints the lush and sophisticated life in not too glow ing terms. The financially independ- ent ladies can't seem to attract financially independent men and the sum total, for Devon anyway, adds up to loneliness.
 We Cry in Bed" will probably be a candidate for the best-seller lists.

But you also give @ cheer for those little lauded craft, the tenders. If it weren't for these babies coddling the destroyers submarines. and other craft, supplying them with fuel and food. The Navy would be at sore loss. So a goodly share of the honors from the great measure of success our Navy has experience ed in ali waters should go to the personnel of these little buffers who make it possible for the giants to deliver the body blows.
