Hitler, feverishly disunited on the
question of Negroes.
The whites in Carvell City were
passively prejudiced or fiercely in
tolerant, according to what they
heard and how they were aroused.
Sometimes they listened to Kirk
Mabry, liberal editor of the local
Salute. But when Kinks son, Alan,
came home wounded from Guadal-
canal, he found that a Negro MUIR
der had stirred up the whites and
that they were primed to follow
the new marshal.
Cancy and His Tart. Cancy en-
joyed being marshal. He had more
money than ever before; ladies
bowed to him in the street. He
was not supposed to touch liquor,
but once in a while he would stop
at friends house for a few slugs.
He took up with a smooth little tart
named Julie, who showed him the
gay life on visit to the state capt.

his son seemed to bother about the
new marshaPs goings-on. Cancy

holder. When Catfoot Grimes and
an Italian storekeeper peddled their
liquor to the Negroes, Cancy looked
the other way-after pocketing
fat cut. When Doc Stanley found
out, Cancy's pals ran him out of
town. But Julie, greed and liquor
got the better of Cancy in the end.
Slowly, shrewdly, Editor Mabry and
his son piled up the evidence against
Cancy, worked painstakingly to win
over one respectable citizen after
another. Then they struck-in an
editorial that staggered Carvell City
and brings the story to a bloody
end.
'They Lynch Up North :" The
Winds of Fear is better, as we'll as
more timely, than most current
best-selling novels. Its faults are
the usual ones of novel of its kind !:
in his worthy effort to be scrupu-
lousy just, Author Carter often
sounds more like an honest broker
than an imaginative novelist. Like
most just men he sounds best when
he let's go-as when Editor Mabry
bellows: "They lynch up north, and
a damn sight more people than we
do. Only they call them race riots. "
