rary possession of old letters which reveal much of the past of Mrs Slater, but more particularly of her pretty sister Rose, and the talented, neurotic cripple Gabriel We're.
 More of the story unfolds through Ferdinand Upton, who befriended We're and Rose, and the styor is not a pleasant one. Madness as such is missing; but mental cruelty exer- cised to bring about misery and ruin is ever-present and somehow exerts more impact than the psychotic actions of Miss Lehmann's Jardines. Perhaps it is because the tale, while fanciful, does have an element of realism.

DIFFICULT METHOD

The indirect discourse form Of narrative which RoSamound Leh- mann used in "The Ballad and the Source" and which caused not oo-fattering rumpus among critics, crops up again in another novel following close on the heels of the first: CT Willow ROad,' by Helen Douglas Irvine Doubleday, Doran: S2). Yet the lesser-known writer while lacking the polish of Miss Lehman, makes more plausible use of this artificial method of telling story.
 No pre- -adolescent child is the recipient of deep, dark, personal condolences. The narrator of this tale of family tragedy comes by her information secondhand, it is true, but she is an adult. and her source is principally the letter, not the Super-human memory which re- cords each adjective and adverb of conversations decades old.
 Evelyn Light, young Londoner in Victoria's day, meets an old crone in the park who takes fancy to her, learns she is Cambridge bound, and gives her the name of Mrs. Albert Slater as possible landlady. Evelyn goes there, rents room, and soon comes into tempo

 Through letters and documents dating back to the early 18th Gen. tury, the author pieces together the story Of the infancy of an industry which was to revolutionize America, and become the giant it is today. In 1716 one Joseph Farmer Stafford shire ironmaster. came to the Col onies to investigate reports that iron, which the mother country lacked, could be had practically for the picking up.
 He found that rich ore Jumps, perhaps 50 per cent pure iron could indeed be found along a stream near Chesapeake Bay in Maryland. He sent his report to Eng land, was authorized by Joshua Gee to form a company and start an iron works. But I will charge thee to change the streams name from Back to Principle. That means first or in the beginning if thee knowest thy Latin" ENTER THE WASHINGTONS
 Thus was born the Principle iron works, first in America. Captain Augustine Washington, "a close trader and tough customer and father of George, was to become a part-oWner. Cannon balls were to come from Principle for the Revolu- tion and French and Indian War. Descendants of the pioneer smelters were to help Wheeling, the roaring frontier town on the National Road to the West, become known as the Nail City.
 With the speed of Americas growth itself, the story builds up to the present-day blast furnace and open-hearth operations of Wheel ing. Impressive though the latter are, it is the colorful struggle of the first century of iron and steel which give this chronicle it's main impact and definite charm.

uary, 1885, allowed the Saarland-
ers to decide their own fate. That

international police force, returned

The Saar is German in race,

Under it's wooded hills lie an es-

which makes this tiny place well

iron used in the Saar's mills came
in prewar days from across the
French border, from the vast de.

France owned the coal mines,
many coking plants were built in
Lorraine to use Saar coal. The
two areas dovetail economically
and a trade current has flowed
between them for 80 years. Dur.
ing the recent war, the Saar pro.
'duced six per cent of German coal
and over ten per cent of Nazi iron

deficit of Is million tons, is coal
hungry. The Saar's annual prewar
output of 10 million tons is rich

tenths of the people were support
ed before the war by work in the
mines or in the highly specialized
industries which depended upon
them. In prewar days, all but two
small Saar mines were govern

This mining area is unique. Al
though the dust and din of indus

natural beauty and charm. There

Since Roman days the Saar has
been a natural highway through
which flowed the course of much
history. Through the region Caesar
drove blond Germans back across
the Rhine, and ancient maps show
military roads running along these
winding valleys. Romans built
bridge across the Saar River,
which gave Saarbrucken, the chief
city. and capital, its name. In
modern times, two main. CONT

Caesar, Attila, Charlemagne,
and Napoleon led conquering
hordes across the Saar. Germany

gion in 1870, and soldiers of both
world wars remember it WELL Aft

DEWEY BIG ISSUE

NEW YORK, Nov. g. WD The
one big question tonight in the New

This 1945 city campaign got

immediate workers, little interest
was shown until late this week.
