BERKSHIRES

From a small Berkshire town word comes today of a conscien- tious objector, Pierre Mason. He is the central figure of Granville Hicks new novel Behold Trouble", a novel that manages to be as timely as the morning newspaper, as charged with violence as a crime thriller and, at the same time, to present disturbing problems. All the characters come to life wildly: Pierre's wife, who loves him and tries to agree with him; old Mel and his pretty granddaughter, Flora; Luke Tucker, the mail car rier, who has the courage to make mistakes and the strength of char acter to pay for them. It is the story of one mans revolt against a society to which he has failed to adjust himself and of the excite ment and tragedy his rebellion brings to the people of a small town.

HOLLYWOOD

The Chubby-Marilyn case has developed a tension that rever- berates all over movieland. Every one in the community wants to help tie the knot-everyone, that is, but Chubby himself, who is filled with the cautious blue blood of his Mayfower ancestry, and "Grum- my' his formidable grandmother. "Grummy" has lurking suspicion that a Hollywood blonde, even when she dyes her hair black, is no fit mate for her grandson. With everyone having a say, the result is series of screwball episodes that make up the book Married at Leisure", by Virginia Lederer. Armed with a sharp wit, very considerable experience in the cockeyed atmosphere she writes about, Miss Lederer has produced a very funny book.

 BERLIN

Mysterious explosions occurred during the night in the city of Berlin, setting fire to numerous buildings and causing many casual ties. In other words, Tommy Ham bledon, British Secret Agent, is back at work. He. is, this time, posing as Professor Ulseth, famous German chemist and honored guest of the unsuspecting Reich. Green Hazard, by Manning Coles, author of "Drink to Yesterday" and "Toast to Tomorrow, is interlaced with real Hambledon humor. The story goes on to tell how Tommy jumps in and out of one ticklish predicament after another, saved by his wry fatalism and hair-trig- ger thinking. It's a thriller!
 ALASKA
 On 1 June, 1942, the SNOW QUEEN bore to Alaska three soldiers as unlike as three men could belt. Magnus P. Giesser, an ex-newspaperman, conscientious as an army manual; It. Lee Orm, a sky hero whose only worries were blondes, and a wistful cor poral, Frank Hansen. Upon their arrival at the Alaskan post, Inlet, their lives became part of the vast panorama of war, isolated, teeming with loneliness; waiting for the imminent Jap; shrouded in fog. 'I Got a Country, by Gilbert w. Gabriel, deals with side of war usually neglected, the waiting side. Under it's stress, the lives of the three men are hit by a tremendous psychological impact. his is a big scale novel of three men whose paths often crossed, but whose minds could never meet, and of what Alaska and the Army did to each of them. .-:

Now when this war is going on
Old Jim Crow diked his carcass out
in buttons and called himself a pat
riot.
He started waving the flag to
keep Dixie's people from wringing
his onery neck and throwing him
out for the jaybirds to peck on. He
never did tell Dixie that he showed
Old Adolph how to persecVte the
Jewish people by the way he had
prosecuted the Negro people@but
its a matter of history that old Ad-
off Sent his secret agents to Dixie
to study Old Jim's way of doing
things before Adolf organized that
gang of raggle-taggle rough necks
called the National Socialist Party.
Now, Old Adolf is getting his but
tons and his breaches ripped off by
American boys Of both colors on the
banks Of the Rhine. And Old Jim is
getting his buttons ripped off by
those same boys-lOts of them from
DiXie-following the War Depart
ment's order for mixed combat I'M
its. AS one Southern white man. I'm
plumb happy that our boys r get
ting to stand together on the battle
field as they will continue to stand
together when they come home to
Dixie.
Now. we read a lot about trouble
between white boys and Negro boys
serving under the same flag for the
anne cause. But Old Jim has a stand
in with most of the white papers so
we don't read about the many Gin
eidents Of cooperation and friend
ship between white boys and black
boys fighting under the same flag
for the same cause.
But I've just been reading the
February % issue of the CT weekly
Yank, a paper which civilians sell
dom see. There's a fine article in
that issue by Sergeant Ralph Mar
tin entitled Negroes in Combat
telling how our boys from Dixie are
getting along together in a mixed
combat unit in Germany.
HITTLERS HEMORRHAGE
This isn't just words. Sergeant
Martin writes. And it just isn't TOP

rhage if he could see the white boys
Of the 411th Infantry, bull-session-
ing. going out on mixed PATROLS
sleeping in the same bombed build

And the white boys Of the 411tH
are mostly Southern boys"
THE Negroes come from the
South, too"
Brothers, those last two sentences
span that gulf which Old Jim Grow
dug with his claws to keep my PEG
pie from your people. I reckon tina
those white boys in the 411th Infan

them North Carolina farm hands
are no different from the rest of tn,

New York-Declaring that the
voiding of the sentences of four
Negro WACs and their restoration
to duty settled only their indiv-
idual predicament," the NAACP re-
newed it's demand for a thorough
investigation of discriminatory treat
ment at Fort Devens, Mass. in a
letter to Henry i. Stimson, Secret
airy of war.
1T seems to US" wrote Acting
Secretary Roy wilkins. that the
War department in taking this ac-
ton (voiding sentences) recognized
the existence of conditions which
would provoke so serious an action
as a violation Of the Gath Article of
War"
The NAACP reminded Seer etary
Stimson that it had written on
March Is. four days before the trial
of the WACs, urging a complete in
vestigation at Devens and the re
mova1 of Colonel Walter NJ. Gran
dell, subsequently Colonel Gran
dell was given a thirty day leave.
