Centralite Recalls D00littIe's
Advice After Tampa Crash
PRIZE CONTRIBUTION
BY Jimmy Jean CanfreH, Is,

Central High School.
In the spring of 1889 a twin.
engine Cessna circled Peter O'Knight
Airport in Tampa, Fla, for quite
some time until it finally landed
only to ground-loop and crash.
In the midst of the wrecked plane
sat colonel in the uniform of the
United States Army. He was a
small man with graying hair.
Upon closer examination, one could
see he was muttering to himself
Assuming he had hit his head and
was momentarily stunned, ap-
preached him, only to be greeted
with a few words which I hope I'll
never There's always one
way to come down."
Upon the arrival of the ground
crew, the manager of the field and
I went to the field Office, where !
was supposed to check the officers
flight plan and help him get a
tower clearance, in the absence of
the field operator. However, it
wasn't until two hours later that I
stopped listening to the wise words
of this man and asked for a copy
of his fight plan. 1t was only then
that 1 discovered I had been talk
ing to one of the most famous
aviators in the world-Jimmy Doo-
little!
During the hour that followed I
learned some valuable lessons on
flying. This vivid and famous flyer
taught me the best quotation any
future pilot could learn, Pride
goeth before a fall"
Now that man whom I met in
1889 has achieved one of the highest
honors the United States can be-
stow upon soldier, the Congress
sional Medal of Honor, for his
heroic part in the first bombing of
Tokyo. Since he led the way to
Japan, many planes have flown over
this enemy land. I know that if
the men whom the Japs so treacher-
ously murdered because of the raid
on Tokyo could speak they would
praise their leader very highly, for
he finally won his long fight from
a transformer to a general.

Black Mail

By Henry Hoke. (Redder'S Book
SerUice.)
Mr. Hoke is in the direct mail
advertising business. In 1899 he
stumbled on evidence that the mails
were being used to disseminate Nazi
propaganda, some of it under the
franks of members of Congress
He decided to investigate and this
book is one of the results.
1t is a sizzling document and
much will be written and said about
it between now and November. It
charges various organizations and
individuals with misuse of the mails
and accuses Senators and Repre-
sentatives of cooperating, knowing
ly or otherwise, in the abuse OF
their franking privileges. 1t names
names and, according to the pub
fishers, every statement in it is

Gentlemen of Japan

By Violet Sweet HdUen. (Zit-
DdUiS.J
Violet Sweet Haven is an Ameri-
can reporter with a wide experience
in Pacific countries. She has as
sembled here a considerable volume
of data designed to illustrate the
methods used by the japanese in
getting a foothold in the various
lands which they overran. None of
it is new or exclusive, but having it
gathered together is convenience
and Miss Haven has used some skill
in arranging her material to bring
conditions out strikingly. With this
factual stuff she has combined some
accounts Of her own experiences as
reporter in the Far East, working
just in advance of the Jap attacks
1t is regrettable to have to say
that she bubbles coyly in writing of
herself, though coy bubbling by
book-writing correspondents is so
much the vogue at the moment that,
perhaps, the charge is no reproach
after all. Her book is an average
second-string performance of its
kind.

The Neu Books
Ship to Shore
BIZ William McFee. {


Habit, apparently, has made Will
liam McFee set the scenes of this
novel mainly on board a ship, and
has directed, also, that the leading
male character shall be ships
captain. Beyond those superficial
salt touches, however, there is little
of the sea in the story. It is a tale
Of middle-aged love, and might
have happened anywhere. The cap
tin finds that, through his expert
ence in sophisticated and cosmo-
politan world, he has outgrown his
smal-town wife, and, meeting a
young American girl who Is more
companionable, he falls in love, sets
up a second household and rears a
family of illegitimate though be-
loved children. That is all. MIR.
McFee tells the tale much in the
vein OF gossipy but sympathetic
old woman. It is better than the
recent McFee fiction, but still is
very far cry from the master who
wrote "Casuals."
Further comment seems super
f1uouS, but the reviewer cannot re-
sist mentioning one purely Incl
dental point-Mr. McFee's astonish-
ing notion of living expenses in
America. He gives us a $20-a-week
switchboard operator as a heroine,
has her dress with such distinction
that she is noticed for her good
style among the passengers of a
luxury cruise, and tells us that she
rents an apartment in a good sec
ton of Madison avenue at $40 a
month. The reviewer, who is not
good at arithmetic, puts it up to you
The Young Greek and the
Creole
By Philip Freund. (Pilgrim.)
One of the few creative spirits
working in the short story today
is Philip Freund, who never gets
into a best" anthology and seems
to be little known by any one but
the critics. This is his second VOL
ume of tales to appear. 1t follows
the first by an interval of nine
years and is an improvement in
the sense of being deepened mani
festation of the genius shown in
the earlier collection. Short-story
lovers, if there are any still surviv-
ing after two decades OF Whit Bur-
nett and company, should certainly
get the book. 1t would remind them
that no drought lasts forever. There
has even been rain in Death VAL
ley.
The most succinct way of describ-
ing Mr.. Freund's work in the space
Of short review would seem to be
to say that he is in the Hawthorne
tradition. He writes slender story
and makes you feel the weight of
the ages. He follows a thin thread
Of individual experience through the
boundless plain of all experience.
He writes quietly and with an
artists consciousness of the move
ment of words. He breaks abso-
lutely all the rules laid down by
editorial murderers for the destruc-
ton of the storytelling art. He is
not widely read and probably never
will be.

Endure No Lonqer

By Martha Albrand. little,
BrOUn.J
Martha Albrand's theme in her
present novel is that what is called
National Socialism today is only a
new name for those principles which
were represented earlier by the
Junkers-Germany's ruling class.
Every German family''-she has
her heroine. Frederica, SAYS
ruled by little Kaiser, little die
tator, little Hitler. No mat
ter how many admirable character
istics the Germans may have, they
will be menace to any peaceful
development of civilization as long
as the Prussian spirit remains alive >
In arriving at that conclusion,
Miss Albrand traces Frederica's life
from 1914, when she escaped from
her family's burning ancestral home
ahead of the Russian advance,
through the loss of her fortune,
through her Prussian fathers re-
fusal to work, through her break
with the family and efforts to find
work in Berlin. through the rise of
Hitler and the death of her hus-
band, who defied what Hitler stood
for.
Miss Albrand's intimate knowl-
edge of her subject. as we'll as her
skill as story-teller, make the book
readable and possibly valuable in
understanding why our enemies be-
have as they do.

~ UOnQtG UunnQm. fU1yJ
This unpretentious little book is
the story of its authors 10 years in
Americas foreign service. In that
period Donald Durham was vice
consul at Berlin, Hong Kong,
Athens and Alden. He writes, as
other foreign service officials have
recently written, because he believes
that wrong impression OF the dip
lomatic career exists in the public
mind.
When he sailed on his first job, for
example, his friends, as he reports,
gave him a coat-of -arms decorated
with drinking glasses and top hats
and bearing the motto, "They toll
not, neither do they SPIN He
would now enter a denial. They toll
plenty, he insists. They work hard,
and they need, for their work, a
highly specialized training land a
wide range of capacities. They get
comparatively low pay. But they
have an interesting time. Indeed,
for the man who likes the foreign
service, Mr.. Dunham concludes, the
foreign service is the thing. His
little book is mildly humorous and
evidently entirely sincere.
