Highlights from the Latest Books

If by definition a novel must
have plot, and beginning and
end, John Steinbeck' "Cannery
Row (Viking PressS2) is not a
novel. But if the author o.
Grapes of Wrath" and "Tortil-
la Flat does not impress as a
novelist in his latest appearance,
he rings the bell, and loudly, as
superb story teller.
Many of the yarns about the
denizens of "Cannery Row in

a grating noise, quality Of
light, tone, a habit, a nostal-
gia, dream would seem to have
been tossed in TO pad out the
book to full size, although the
author says:
when you collect marine
animals there are certain flat
worms SO delicate that they are
almost impossible to capture
whole. You must let them
ooze and crawl of their own will
onto a knife blade. And
perhaps that might be the way
TO write this book--to open the
page and let the stories crawl in
by themselves.
To ignore the few outsiders
that somehow craWled into the
narrJ i've (such as the flagpole
skater, and Josh Billings tripes) :,
the book is concerned with Doc,

dingnagian parties the latter

Rows mentor and leading citi-
zen.
THE GREAT FROG HUNT
Doc makes a living collecting
and preparing marine animals
for research use; he also pays a
nickle-a-head bounty for live
frogs. Mack and the boys, who
live in the Palace Flophouse and
Grill. borrow a Model + truck
from Lee Chong. the comic-strip
Chinese, and embark on frog
hunt which, as story, is gen.
uine classic. Proceeds of the
trip go toward the party, arrang-
de in Docs absence, and the
guest of honor shows up only in
time to clean up the wreckage
and punch Mack in the mouth.

Hears T ak on
|FBI ActiDities
By Gretchen Smith,

How FBI agents outwitted the
most carefully laid sabotage plans
BY members Of the Gestapo in this
country several years before Pearl
Harbor was described by Hugh
Clegg, assistant director Of the FBI
yesterday before the Washington
Club.
The speaker told how correlation
of numerous Federal and State in
vestigating agencies existing prior
to the war into one agency. the FBI,
has produced such efficiency that
there has been no foreign inspired
sabotage in the country since the
war began"
The value of fingerprinting, as
well as the effective work of the
FRI Research Laboratory, was en-
Iphasized by Mr.. Clegg, who>strongly
advocated voluntary fingerprint-
ing for every person in the country

If every one were fMgerprinted," he

tity," he explained. TT also would be
helpful in kidnapings. If the child
had been fingerprinted, it would be
simple to demand that the kid
napers submit the child's finger
prints. Fingerprinting should be
done for ones personal protection. y
The speaker praised alertness of
the public in helping the FBI to
ferret out saboteurs and other
criminals.
Without the assistance of good
citizens such as you," he commented
the FBI could not have done the
job as they have DONE"
Despite the fact many TIPS prove
valueless, the FBI still invites
the public to report any Suspicious
person or act which might come to
their attention, Mr.. Clegg added.
Mr.. Clegg was introduced by Mrs
Cloyd Heck Marvin, president, who
presided.

VIVA VACANCIES
HERE SHOW DROP

Despite reported increases IN
housing vacancies in the city, the
Wilmington Housing authority
reported yesterday that during the
month of, September the number OF
It's units vacated declined con-
siderably over the previous month.
The only vancies reported tor
the authority's projects occurred
In Maffitt village, where 1877 units
were vacated during September,
as compared with 262 during Au-
gust.
Housing Authoritys projects
within the city - Nesbitt courts,
Taylor homes, Lake Forest and
Hillcrest - are 100 per cent &C.
cupied, at present. These four pro-
jects include 1,735 housing units.
At Maffitt village, whose
1852 units were never fully occu-
pied even at the peak of the war,
there were 1897 vacancies as OF
Sept 80. Of the 1852 white units
there, 1850 are vacant of the 900
Negro units, 1877 are vacant.
Since facilities at Maffitt village
were temporary wartime pro-
ject to house transient war work
ers, the project was built with the
understanding that it would be de-
molished when the need for hous-
ing no longer existed. Application
has been made to the federal gov
eminent for permission to
demolish the housing project
there, but NO word has yet been
received from Washington az to
their disposition.
