THE FRIENDLY PERSUASION,
by Jessamym West (Harcourt,
Brace; $3.50.
Though this book consists Of IA
separate short stories, it's really
fair to call it novel for they are
all about a fascinating Quaker
family, the Birdwells, Jess the
father, Eliza the mother and their
six children on an. Indiana farm.
The most hilarious story is real
ly in two sections: "A Likely Elk
change" and "First Day Finish"
Jess has horse that, to his
preacher wife's dismay, breaks in
to race while he is driving her to
meeting house, and to his disgust,
lets himself get beaten.
mo horse had ever looked so
much like travelling and had trav-
eled so much like standing still,
Jess complains, and all Eliza asks
is that he swap for one that
doesn't appear to promise so
much. Jess makes a swap that de-
lights him, and even Eliza, and
definitely you. And 'The Pacing
Goose which opens with a mas
terly consideration of the nature
of spring, winds through court
room and comes out at sweetcakes
and sausage, will make you laugh
at least as heartily, or you're not
old enough to be reading books.
sLead, Her Like A Pigeon" at
the other end of the emotional
scale, tells. the sweet, charming
story Of the adolescent Matte. AS
THE Pacing Goose began in
springtime, "Tha Vase begins in
the rain and ends in Jess's. tears.
And "Shivaree Before Breakfast
ranges touchingly from a boys
prank to an old mans loneliness.
These are stories Of the old
days of sulphur-and molassas
cures; "A fever-blister is a tragedy
to the child planning a party;
sassafras tea is a peace offering.
Here you read OF bubbles like eyes
in ,buckwheat batter, of middle
aged city mouse that could prob
ably run backwards, Of death that
threatens in wen, of love and
romance in a leaf buried in a box.
This is Miss Vests first book,
and a remarkable one. There's a
Biblical quality to her prose, and
to her characters. 80
You will find tears in one chap
ter, laughter in another and some
times both together, even as close
together as in the same paragraph,

ing something that is most irritating to OH
ally, Russia. 1--WE must keep Russia from
knowing about the atomic bomb or eve must
not let Russia use the Dardanelles or the Suez
Canal" or Russia is a danger to world
peace and so on and so on.
With such statements broadcast how can it
be expected that Russians will not feel that it
is distrusted and in turn have doubts of our
desire to work with all our allies; to insure
peace?
The only way to insure accord and peace
Is by cooperation with and trust of our allies.

v KANSAS CITY, Nov. TN =
When a high-point soldier lands at
costal port with continent be-
tween himself and home, he's
really only three days away from
his mothers kitchen If he doesn't
get hung up in separation center
for a week or so.
Here's how it works: within 48
hours from the time he sets foot
on U. S. soil, the Air Transport
Command can deliver him across
the country to his separation CEN
ter. The separation center can get
him out in "a hours if everything
goes according to schedule.
When it was suggested tn t
Army airplanes be used to fly vet
Grams home, the commanding gen
eral Of the ATC, 1t. Gen. Harold

the movement of $4,000 men a
month. Capt. Paul Conroy Of the

Give Them A Chance

The National Farmers Union, through Its
president James G. Patton, estimates mil
lion veterans will seek farms or farm en-
ployment The organization proposes that the
way be cleared for them, especially those
wishing to operate farms, by long term federal
credits.
It proposes, among other things, that funds
for purchasing farms by veterans be provided
under the Bankhead-Jones Farm Tenant act,
on the same terms now available to tenants
per cent interest, a forty-year repayment
period and variable repayment plan to fit
the individual case.
Most men at one time or another have
dreams OF becoming farmers but few have
the necessary talent. Probably the veterans
are not materially different in this from the
average run Of men, except that because Of
the stress and strain of military service they
covet the quieter if no less strenuous life on
a farm. Undoubtedly a large percentage of
them would be unable to make ends meet
on farms. Lacking previous experience and
the gift for proftably cultivating the soil, they
could not possibly make q success Of their
venture
But in consideration Of what they have done
to perpetuate this nation as an independent
power, the hardships they have endured that
we might survive in freedom, the wounds they
suffered and victories they won, it is to be
hoped that the government will still provide
for the failures and not turn them out if they
fail to meet their payments without providing
other employment for them in callings for
which they are better fitted.
Considering the billions this country has and
them on their feet, the money involved in
giving our own veterans a chance to try farm
ing and then something else it they fall down
In the first venture could well be spared.

CHURCH CLOCK MISSING

INDIANAPOLIS -W.p)-The Rev.
Sumner L. Martin believes at
whoever took an eight-dsy, clock
from the Roberts Park Methodist
Church was simply trying faceti-
ously to limit the length of the
pastors sermons. Martin said his
nrst reaction was to plan one
hour Spite" sermon intead Of his
customary 25-nainute talk. H 20 W
ever, he decided against the plan
because it would penalize not only
the hief but also the congregation.
And he was afraid the clocktaker
would be absent from the service.

Needed, A Balance Sheet

The Star-News had something to say the
other day about mental rehabilitation and the
trouble we were in as a result of it. In letter
10 Representative Albert Gore Of Tennessee,
Bernard Baruch, who grows wiser with the
years, carries the idea on by writing:
II had hoped this 'scuttle and run policy
which is evidenced throughout our life-nili-
tary, economic and spiritual-should have held
Oft and made parallel with peace and as we
knew what our demands and obligations
were.''
The letter was written to supplement a con-
ference between Mr.. Baruch and Representa-
tive Gore few days previously It deals in
general with the threat Of initiation and
specifically with the nations loans and debts
As reported in the New York Times from
Washington, the writer holds that loans to for
eign countries or the allowing Of greater buy
ing power to our citizens through higher
wages and lower taxes will aggravate infla-
tionary dangers Unless our production is "a
toned where we want It to 90 until general
production increases. He added that before we
could decide the question Of initiation and all
other economic problems, domestic and for.
eign, we must get an overall picture Of the
balance sheet Of the country"
AS the Times paraphrases his letter, he
writes such an inventory should cover these
questions:
What are our debts, both those the public
holds in bonds and what IL owed to others?
How much more debt is needed to pay tor
terminated war contracts and contracts still
to run? How much will we need for Breton
Woods, UNRRA n foreign loans Of every
type?
With this inventory a. a starter. we should
examine productive capacity q n determine
how to divide production 50 that enough Of
what is produced remains in the United States
ito avoid disastrous imitation and then how
much to allocate for the rehabilitation Of En-
rope, China, the Philippines"
Unless this was done wisely, he continued
tive will sink and the whole world will &c
down with us''

An average Of case-finding sta

that 65 per cent of cases discovered
in the state are moderatelyly or

tragedy. Thousands of Mississip-
plans die yearly who with cary

That is, IS per cent of cases dis
covered were in early or ininial

WARTIME WASHINGTON

War is no respecter of official comfort, even of Washington Cabi- net members. Attorney General Francis Riddle rented a house re- gently, had trouble with it from the first day. Riddle found that the roof leaked, had plumbing diff culties, couldn't get adequate re- pairs from his landlord. finally had to buy the house, then learned that his landlord had been anti-New Deal Commentator Fulton Lewis Jr.
 Secretary Morgenthau is also having housing troubles, has beer searching frantically for a new home for the last two months, still hasn't found one.
