Politics And Art

II it isn't raking the cold political ashes
t1nduly, we should like to revert to another
prediction topic and recall a remark by the
eminent violinist Fritz Kreis1er. To the ques-
tor. of how he was going to vote. Mr.. Kreisler.
answered, my political candidate this year
is Beethoven and maybe Bach.''
The Beethoven-Bach ticket is certainly an
excellent one and one which has been kept
in musical office year after year with scarcely
a dissenting vote. And we can't blame Mr..
Kresler unduly for taking an 'art-is-long- and
tinae-is-fleeting'' attitude and sticking with his
candidates.
But this attitude is one that artists have
taken to their sorrow in recen years
Thomas Mann, the distinguished German
writer, has told Of his belated Awakening to
the Importance of politics after years Of think
ing politics dirty business in which the
clustered intellectual should not soil himself.
Dr. Mann and most of his colleagues awaken
ed after the damage was done, Of course.
and Hitler was already firmly in power
Great men and great artists like Mr.. Kreis-
Ter must live In world of politics. And their
arr flourishes in a free, democratic, prosper
GUS society. That society in America is gov
erned by politics. No one can convincingly
excuse his Indifference to active political par
ticipation in preserving it.

70 books for the youngsters

Two books for the youngsters
Pigeons never meant much in
my life until I read a book called
"Couriers of the Sky" by Mary
Graham Bonner. In the old days,
a pigeon was just bird that emit
ted a curious cooling clucking sort
of sound at intervals, and was &C.
cassionally served as food when
very young. Now I know lot bet
ter.
Pigeons have been one of mans
closest friends since history began,
Miss Bonner writes, and probably
for long before that vague date.
The friendship has never been al
tered, nor has the usefulness of
the pigeon in other than CASTRO
nomic fields lessened. Even today,
when we have everything from the
international cable system to walk
ie-talkies, pigeons still are useful
as messagesbearers.
Nor is just any pigeon adequate
for just any task. Racing pigeons
should never be white, because
hawks can see them too easily.
Pigeons used for racing, or hon.
ing pigeons, must have all IL of
their tail feathers to fly efficient
ly, and should you want to buy
