GOOD READING FOR THE WEEK

If you've wanted to meet inter
esting people, particularly those
whose "reminiscences one might look
forward to, then Naturalist At
Large, by Thomas Barbour, is your
best chance. The author, a graduate
of Harvard, is now professor there
with many resounding titles after
his name. But, no matter how inn
posing his titles, his book is grab
bag" of information, unexpectedly
tossed in at random points, for color
as well as for information. There is
no order, no plot, just book for the
curious. With a family such as the
Barbours, no incident is ordinary.
Everything is tinged with magma
ton, with little sketches of people
and places thrown in to add to the
variety, to give you book like no
other. If this description sounds
confused, try the book.
None But The Lonely Heart, by
Richard Llewellyn, is in an entirely
different locale from the authors
"How Green Was My Valley" This
one is in London, the seamy side
where the Cockney dialect will be
as strange to the reader as the Welsh
was. This book, too, is about the
underprivileged-a young lad who
wanted to become painter. His life
up to the present was unsatisfactory,
and with the complications of love
affair, he fell in with thieves, in
order, so to speak, to make his way
to glory and fortune. The story is
woven with consumate skill and the
action, slow at first, increases to a
dynamic conclusion.
Do you remember the horseless
carriage age? Then you will get
lot of fun and some real laughs out
of Bethany Partridge's Excuse My
Dust. In a little northern New
York town, where Saturday night
is real excitement, where cigar store
Indians were not in antique shops,
and where the blacksmith shop was
the center of activity, the story
starts. Tom Hunter, farm boy and
a believer in the automobile, is rep
resentatiVe of the towns progress.
State elections, two cylinder REQ
cars, then the four cylinder automo-
bile, trials and tribulations of the
sidewalk philosophers, all merge in
life picture that will bring remi-
niscent chuckles and new laughter to
old and young.
Much more than a piece of fiction
is Citizen Tom Paine, by Howard
Fast. Out of the life of famous
pamphleteer, a striking novel of the
American Revolution has been Gre
ated. With the background chang
ing from England, to America, to
France, the reader gets breadth of
vision not usually given in one book.
Paine's life is not completely known,
but Mr.. Fast has not hesitated, bold
ly and with great Imagination, to
create for the reader events which
might we'll have filled the gaps in
reality. With keen insight, he has
hIli1t his hVentc and situations IN
show the rich quality of Tom Paine's
philosophy. He has not buttered the
character, on the contrary, he has
struck a likeness that is not always
admirable.
1t is little late to follow the adj
wise of Edward H. Faulkner when he
proposes something very new New

Taxpayers Claim Pay Plan
Costs Baltimore Millions
BY the Associated Press.

BALTIMORE, June "A. - Attor-
neys in taxpayers suit against
Baltimore City charged today that
wage arrangements for employees of
the sanitary and street cleaning de-
partments amounted to an Illegal
increase of millions of dollars"
yearly in municipal government
expenses.
The complaining taxpayers said
In petition to Circuit Court No. 2
that what they described as IL
legal and fraudulent wage ar
rangements existed through labor
contracts with union representa-
tives.
The taxpayers asked the court
to prevent temporary deductions of
union dues by the city for the bene-
fit of labor unions.
The petition stated that employees
of the Department Of Public Works
have been assigned tasks classed as
eight-hour assignments, but which
can be completed within about four
hours, SO that the employees can
receive eight hours pay for their
first four hours of work. The en-
ployes then are permitted to work
the remainder of their work period
and therefore ARE enabled fbSre- !
ceive IL hours pay for eight hours
work during one day." the petition
continued.

Gov Bricker could, if he wished,
ask to have his name withdrawn
and the nomination made unani-
nous. Gov. Bricker, at the 1910
convention, took such action on
behalf OF Senator Taft, the run
nerup to Wendell l.. Willkie.
The vice presidential nomination
will be made by the convention
Immediately after the presidential
has been voted. The ticket makers
in Chicago are still awaiting word
from Gov. Earl Warren of Cali

vention.
No decision may be reached there

rives here Monday morning. He is
to make the keynote speech as tenn

Monday night. 1t has been reported
repeatedly that Gov. Warren does
not wish to be nominated for second
place on the ticket. 1t has never
been said, however, that he would
decline If nominated.
Bricker Has Many Friends.
Gov. Bricker has undoubted
strength among the delegates and
party leaders. His selection to be
the vice presidential candidate is
well within the possibilities. If he

would. it would go far to heal any
soreness which Dewey victory may

Wi|Ikie Is Undecided
On Plans; Disavows
'BoIt-Dewey' Move
BY the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, June 24.-Wendell
L. Willkie said today he had not
yet reached a decision concerning
his plans for the 1914 presidential
campaign.
He made the statement in an in
terview in which he said Russell
w. Davenport, his 1910 campaign
co-ordinator, was expressing his
own, not my" views in speech and
interview at Hartford, Conn.,, last
night.
Mr.. Davenport was quoted as
saying he Davenport would not
support the Republican party this
year if Gov. Thomas E. Dewey were
nominated or If he were uncon-
vinced by the party's platform and
candidate that it would crusade for
world freedom
Mr.. Willkie and / have been close
for many years and our views are
pretty much the same" Mr.. Daven-
port added.
Mr. Willkie, stressing that he
never authorized any one to speak
for him and that he had not indi-
Gated TO any one what he intended
to do, said:
"Mr. Davenport was associated
with my campaign in 1910, and we
are friends. OF course he has the
right to express his own views, but
I have never discussed with him my
inutentions about the 1914 cam
paign. nor have I as yet come to a
decision about my plans"
Mr.. Davenport had based his op-
position to Gov. Dewey on the
ground that he was not satisfied
with the Governors position on
international issues.

Representative Joe" Martin of
Massachusetts,, Minority Leader of
the House and slated to be perma-
nent chairman of the National
Convention, on his arrival here to-
day, admitted, after much fencing
with the press, that he thought it
likely Gov. Dewey would be the
nominee for President.
He did not predict what the
Massachusetts, delegation would do
in the convention. He himself is
delegate -at-large but may not
vote because he will be acting as
permanent chairman. He said that.
when permanent chairman of the
National Convention in 1910. he
did not vote, but left the voting to
his alternate.
Believes COP Will Win.
Mr.. Martin said he thought the
Republicans would win the election
next November. The Republican
trend in Massachusetts,, he added,
was strong, and the COP had a
good chance to carry the State In
the presidential election, which it
has not done since 1924. He listed
three New England States in the
doubtful column, Massachusetts
Connecticut and Rhode Island. He
gave the Republicans the edge,
however, in Massachusetts and
Connecticut and Democrats the
edge in Rhode Island.
The Republican House leader ex-
pressed the opinion that the foreign
relations issue would be carried into
the campaign even though the two
major parties should adopt identi-
cal foreign policy planks in their
platforms. 1t is not an issue that
can be sidestepped, he said, and
the candidates would undoubtedly
discuss it.
The Massachusetts, delegation will
reach Chicago tomorrow Sunday
and Will, Mr.. Martin said, hold a
caucus to determine what candidate
1t will support for the presidential
nomination. The delegation is un-
instructed. 1t might, he said, give
a complimentary ballot to Gov.
Saltonstall of Massachusetts, on the
first ballot If the Governor was will
ing. He added that there was
Dewey support in the delegation
and that at least three of the dele
gates had run as Dewey men.
