lected by the late DR.. George Mar
tin Richter, noted authority on Ital-
ian art
For the student these reproduc-
tions. SO carefully assembled and
| annotated, will be of the utmost
value, fitting in and enhancing the
examples of Italian paintings from
the Kress and Mellon collections
Aside from this the possession of
this material will establish at a
single stroke a new center of schol-
arly research here at the Nation S
Capital.
1t is interesting to know that the
gift was originally suggested to Mr..
Guggenheim by Baroness Hilla Ro-
bay, director of the Solomon r.
Gugeenheim Foundation, which,
among other things, sponsors the
Museum of Non-Objective Art in
New York, much discussed insti-
tuition, OF unique character.
To Mr.. Guggenhelm. non -objec-
tive art has become something more
than hobby. but this fact has not
altered his interest in the great art
of the past, and directly the sug-
gestion was made by his co-worker,
he, himself, passed it on to the
trustees of the National Gallery,
by whom it was heartily welcomed.
There is little if any non-ob objective
art in the Richter Archive but the
fact that it was sponsored by one
so eagerly encouraging experiment
tation and exploration in the field
Of art may we'll be accepted as
proof that old and new are not as
widely separated as some would
think. In any event this gift helps
TO strengthen the National Gallery 5
position and serviceabilty.

Kate Fennigote
By Booth Harrington. (Dou-
bleddU DOrnn

Oteuuyy DOTuHi
In the ancient and honorable pur-
suit of landing a husband and hold
ing him after he's been landed,
which type of woman is most apt
to succeed-the predatory glamour
girl or the scheming high brow?
Booth Harrington, in Kate Fenni-
gate undertakes to trace this prob
lem through to it's inevitable con-
ciusion.
Kate Fennigate and Laila Capper
were born in the same social en-
vironment. They lived in the same
city block, and, as the closest of
friends, went to the same young
ladies school. Kate was honor girl
OF her class, Laila flunked out be-
fore graduation day. Kate was
passably good looking, ambitious,
resourceful, pragmatic, persuasive
and capable of taking it on the chin
Or OF bending circumstance to her
purpose. Laila, lustrous-eyed, beau
tiful of face and gorgeous of body,
was ambitious, too-ambitious for
fine clothes, jewels, spectacular mo-
tor cars, and, above all, the ardent
attentions of men.
| So, a rivalry grew up between
them through the years. But the
clever Kate out-maneuvered the
beautiful Laila and married the
most eligible young man in town
Then, through Kate's manipula-
tions, she saw to it that her man
became the directing genius of the
city's leading industrial concern
But, even so, the battle of pulchri-
tude versus brains flared forth anew
Laila, by devious devices, sought tc
snatch Kate's Mr. Big from her
Eventually. through Kate's smart
strategy, the feud was brought tc
a happy climax.
Kate Fennigate" is just a chron-
icle of simple events--the petty in
trigues and shallow subtleties of q
few everyday lives. 1t reaches no
heights of great drama. Yet the
mastery Harrington touch glorifies
| the tale into a masterpiece of ab-
sorbing interest from the first word
to the last.

1t is actually astounding
With these three works by Hou-
don, of whom we think as the
sculptor of Washington, Jefferson,
John Paul Jones and other great
men of America, is shown another
child portrait of exceptional charm.
1t is by Jacques Sally and in bronze.
Sally was the sculptor of the statue
of Frederick V at Copenhagen and
was, it will be remembered, sculptor
to Catherine II at the Russian court
in st. Petersburg for over 10 years.

Statue by Rodin.
This span in the history of sculp-
ture, beginning with Donatello, is
completed by statue in bronze by
Rodln, whose age of Bronze" is in
the National Gallery at this time
through the generosity of Mrs. J. w.
Simpson. 1t is an arresting work
and represents this great modern
master at his best. The Paris Salon
of 1877 rejected it because of its
"naturalness, Rodin, like Dona-
tello, was student of the classical
and also naturalist and innovator.
He had the courage of his con-
victlon and If sometimes those who
attempted to follow him were led
asoray it was not his fault Always
did Rodin place great emphasis on
modelling, which he claimed was to
sculpture what the body Is to the
spirit. Art" he once said. "is the
spiritual vision which the form re-

Under Cover

By John Roy Carlson. Dur
ron.)
This is rather controversial book
relating the experiences Of George
Pagnanelli (an assumed name), who
set out during the prewar years to
investigate privately the growing
influence of fascistic thinking in the
United States. The identity of the
author, John Roy Carlson (alias
PagnanellD, is veiled, but a short
biography is supplied in a forward.
His>is Syrian by birth. His parents
migrated and became citizens of the
United States while he was still a
boy.
Because of his resemblance to an
Italian. he took the name of
Paganelli, enabling him to worm his
way into various propaganda groups
at that time trying to make Ameri-
cans believe Hitler's new order"
was the order of the goth century.
How well these propagandists sue
ceeded in intoxicating the Nazi
doctrine into some Americans Of
questionable extraction and citizen
ship, our bigots and some of our
more dangerous crackpots, has been
borne out by the work of the FBI.
The G-men have clipped the &C
tivities of such figures as William
Dudley Pelley, George E. Deather-
idge, Charles Sylvester Viereck tan
acknowledged agent of Germany
, Col. Eugene Nelson Sanctuary,
Charles B. Hudson, Elizabeth Dilling
of Red Network" and Mothers
March on Washington" fame, and
other of their ilk.
The book at times is a rather con-
fused running account of interviews
with one person who is in league
with others of a fascist stamp. and
slips occasionally into an hysterical
vein. 1t is advertised as naming
names, 1t does. But there remains
confusion of connection between
these who actually preached the
doctrine of Nazi revolution the
crackpots and bigots who are always
ready to believe anything; the
rascals who took advantage of an
opportunity to knock down some
easy and large change. and those
who kept sharp eye on political
expedlency and their ambitions.
This confusion may be due to the
normal confusion of isolationist and
interventionist thinking in the Gays
preceding our entry into the war.
That the work done by paid propa-
gandiStS in our midst at this time
had an effect on the uneducated,
the politically unread, and those
Just plain politically confused cam
not be denied. The crackpots and
bieCtS swallowed Nazi doctrine hook
line and sinker according to Mr..
CarlsOn's interviews. They were in
the minority tn IN. and since the
war have dWirdled or gone under
ground with tkeir plots. This type
of crackpot is admittedly dangerous.

ReveiIIe

By Members of Our Armed
Forces. Selected by John
Kteran, Grantland Rice and
Daniel Henderson. Barnes J
This is collection of poems by
officers and men in the American
armed forces. The subjects are all
related to the war and the treat
ment varies from serious to light.
1t Is interesting to observe that,
out of so many pieces on war themes,
there are none which express any
enthusiasm for the combat. At
most the writer's voice a grim de-
termination to see it through and
a conviction that our side is right.
But the traditional fighting mans
singing is conspicuously absent from
the collection. Apart from this
there is no interest in the volume
Little or none of the work is dis
tinguished.

The Free Man

AtOPJ"
This Is another Of Mr.. Richter's
very pleasant novelettes. 1t deals
with the revolutionary period of our
history and has for its hero a MEM
Der of the community known then
and today-as Pennsylvania Dutch.
1t tells how young German,
along with a shipload of his COM
patriots, is deceived by labor brokers
into coming to the British colonies
on the promise of finding America
a free land. The catch is that the
ignorant peasants sign papers which
they do not understand, which bind
them as indentured servants for a
period OF five years on their ar
rival. Those who survive the hor-
rible conditions of the voyage are
put up at auction much as slaves
and bound out to the British gentry
who depend on this method to
supply them with servants.
Mr.. Richter's hero makes a break
for 1t, and gets into the mountains
where he subsequently raises a COM
pany to fight for freedom from
British tyranny That is the whole
story. 1t is told in a modified
Pennsylvania Dutch idiom and a
very sweet little piece of work it
is, too.

John Brown

By OsDald Garrison Wizard.
Reused edition. (KnoptJ
While it is not custom to review
revised editions at length on this
page there seems to be enough inter-
est attached to the present book to
Justify comment beyond the usual
listing. It is the monumental volume
which was first published in 1910
and which still stands as John
Browns defnitive biography. Ger
tain sources have come to light since
that date which have resulted in
changes in the original text, but
none of these changes are major
ones
The thing that Stirs the reviewer
to comment is the TACT that the ad-
vance in popular understanding of
psychology since 1910 will almost
certainly result in creating a certain
new Interpretation of joan Brown S
whole character. Three decades ago,
blographerS did not deal in delusions
and manias and the like, but today
such means of Judging men have
become SO ordinary that there is
hardly a Schoolchild who does not
know that Hitler, the enemy of the
worlds civilization, is just a psyche
pathlc case. And it is hard, indeed.
to read Mr.. Wizards reconstruction
OF Browns acts and pronouncementS
without seeing Brown in terms of
psychological judgment.
He was man whose real talents
lay in obscure fields. That is, he
was good farmer. an expert tanner
and an exceptionally efficient ham
dler of sheep and wool His desires,
however, were for a wider career. 1t
was not until after he had failed
IN ambitious business projects and
was well into middle lie that he
turned his attention to the evil of
slavery. He was then a bankrupt
and for years had been the object
of lawsuits by business associates
who charged that he failed them in
agreements. Like many failures, he
turned to cause. He was always
of autocratic temper and unyielding-
ly stern in his dealings with people
who held an inferior status, as with
his workmen, and his children. whom

This is one of the very interest
ing books of the year 1t is a state
ment of the American Negros posi-
ton today and, since there have
been many books purporting to
cover that same ground recently,
it had best be stated quickly that
this one has two things to recon-
mend it particularly-it is a report,
not an editorial, and it is by
Negro, not by Negrophile. Any
one interested in getting the facts
as they look to Negroes will there
fore find Roi Ottley's book in
formative and helpful.
Mr.. Ottley Is neWSpaperman
whose beat for the past seven years
has been Harlem. While he was thus
covering the Black Metropolis-to
use his own phrase for it--for a
Negro journal he also contributed
articles to nationally known maya
zines on subjects dealing with
Negro life. He writes well. The
tone of his book is almost always
detached. He has seldom set down
his personal views, at least as such.
He has tried to describe the general
state of Negro opinion both among
the leaders and the rank and file of
the Negro people. When he finds
this opinion extreme or chauviniStiC.
he says so. And at every point he
tries to define the conditions which
support the racial state of mind
Summed up. this state of mind is
no more than determined desire
on the part of the Negro for the
rights guaranteed American citizens
by the American Constitution. At
no point does it go beyond the con-
stitutional limitations. The Negro
today wants in fact the equality
before the law which, 10 years ago,
he was promised in words.
The great body of the race, in
Mr.. Ottleys view, has it's eyes on

has long been denied his constitu-
tional rights is thing which most
of them will overlook, if the bars
against them are now let down, for
their desire is to develop and ex-
press themselves constructively and
normally, rather than to be forced
into the attitudes of vengeful
minority. But, if the bars are not
let down. then look out. The Negro
has reached state of self aware
ness and enlightenment where he
will no longer be passive. He is
going to act for himself, one way or
another. If he fails to get his
chance to act as an American citi-
zen he will probably turn to alliance
with some foreign power, as Japan,
which offers colored peoples not
only equal but superior rights to
those enjoyed by whites. The Japa-
nese have already made overtures,
says Mr.. Ottley.

it were, to make us forget century
of tradition-and tradition so basic
that it has come to have the quality

cannot see that it can do any harm
either. If we have to renounce our
