 Todorov's experience with demo- cracy in its throes of formation ir the Balkans after the last war is enlightening, especially in view o1 the ultimate result-World War II He reveals that long before Hitler began spreading his gospel Mus solini was active in the Balkans spreading dissension here mad there with various agents, fomenting re- volutions, and undermining honest attempts of Balkan nations to es- tablish democracies.
 You get right behind the scenes of politcis, high finance, intrigue espionage, and the parts they play in every war in reading this book and you wonder if there ever will be war to end all wars if man. kind continues to ge so greedy and selfish.

 It. George Bristol is the author The book is Salute Mel" (Dial Press: $1.75. It tells of Bristors transformation from a dogface pri- vate to a second lieultenant in sev- eral not too easy lessons. And if you think a second looey feels superior to the guy in the rear rank. you're crazy!
 Bristol takes you right through Officers Candidate School, through his career as a second, and up tc that glorious day when he swapped his seconds bars for those of a first. It's pretty funny yarn. NEW GUINEA BATTLE
 ssTHE Fight for New Guinea" by
 ! Pat Robinson (Random House: $2), former sports writer, is a story about Gen. Douglas Macarthur $ first offensive in the Southwest Pacific. This offensive smashed Japan's desperate attempt to over- run New Guinea. conquer Australia and give Nippon domination of the Pacific.
 The author tells of the enormous task Macarthur had before him when he escaped to Australia from the Philippines. Australia was in a state of political dissension. There was confusion everywhere, among the government, the army. and the people. Such chaos ddin't tighten the task of whipping the Nips.
 The deciding factor in the New Guinea campaign proved to be MacArthur's small but gallant air force, which had to transport all the troops and supplies to the front as well as bomb and strafe. That air force now Is multiplied many times. Recent news bulletins indi- cate that for the first time there are more planes available than pilots in this theater of war. And what Macarthur did with a mere handful will be many times magni- fled with this additional power Robinson declares. Already he # turning into a good prophet.

iod the prisoner is brought before psychiatric staff made up of Lieut.. Col. A. E. Hesler, prison officer; Capt. I. J. Cohen and Lieut.. Nathan Grishan.
 Most of the prisoners are honest in their answers and pathetically eager for another chance. A few are bad and want to stay that way. Col onel Hesler says he has examined men who, with years in jail and a dishonorable discharge facing them, have stubbornly refused to have anything to do with reformation The board doesn't waste time pray ing over these wayward brethen.
 After examination, the men are

sent back to the stockade for per- iods that vary with the seriousness of their offense and their length of service. They are dressed in blue denim, with a big white P painted on their blouse and trousers, and do the work usually assigned to mill itary prisoners. They are carefully observed and, if their conduct war rants, are transferred at the end of their designated period to the pro- bationary platoon.
 Here they start "prepping" for the honor compar". Rifles which don't work, incie 2ntally-are re- stored to them, and their labors are supplemented by plenty of drill.

Not every prisoner gets as far as the honor company. About one out of four have made it at Camp Pickett since the center opened in January. A man must show good attitude as well as good be- havior. And he has to do lot of hard work.
 The prisoners in rehabilitation centers are sent there for crimes of military nature. Soldiers convicted of felonies are not sent to the centers at all, but are hustled straight off to Leavenworth. Most of the offensos represented here are absence without leave, desertion and disobecicnce. Their sentences range from 6 months to 30 years. EVERY MAN NEEDED
 The Army's new attitude to- ward its prisoners contains a mea- sure of benevolence, but the ruling factor is the stern necessity of sal- vaging all usual personnel. Modern psychiatry is saving lot of man. power. Army medical men know a lot more about the causes and treat ment of military y-criminal tenden- cies than they did in the last war
 What this new attitude can do for penitent offender is obvious, and all to the good. For, as Col. George J. Shoemaker. the Rehab- ilitation Center's commanding of- ficer, said: Most of the prisoners are youngsters kids who just don't understand"
 When prisoners get here,". the colonel explained, i've put them in what we call quarantine for about 30 days. During that time Captain Cohen, our psychiatric officer, talks to them and tries to find the req sons behind the trouble they're in. We also get all the information we can from the mans home town. We find out if he has police record, and what his education and inter- ests and home life have been."

IMPORTANT CROPS
 ON WAY TO MARKET
Persons Planning Canning Should Place Orders
 With Dealers Early

The Connecticut food distribution industry, through its advisory com mittee to the State War Council, suggested today that housewives who are canning vegetables and fruits place orders with their store keepers in advance.
 Some of the most important crops for home canning, especially the native tomato crop, the committee pointed out, will be on the market soon, and retail men anticipate a continued heavy demand for pro- duce.
 Ordering ahead will insure that the customer gets the produce in the amount she wants and at the time she wants it, the committee said.
 The retail tradesman also is in position. the committee added, to advise the housewife on approach ing market peaks when supplies will be available in largest quantities and the price can be expected to be lowest. The quality of the crop is always best at this time also.
 The committee, representing growers as well as wholesale and retail produce handlers, with Arthur H. Gosselin of New Haven as chair man, made these recommendations in conference with War Council Administrator Harold F. Woodcock and Food Administrator Henry B. Mosle. Members reported that de- mand for both canning equipment and produce thus far in the season indicates tremendous" amount of home canning is being done.
 Four major crops are still to come into peak production, according to State Department of Agriculture forecasts. Sweet corn will be ready for canning the first of August. Tomatoes will start to arrive in large quantities about August 10. Macintosh apples are due the mid dle of September and late potatoes in October.
