Tricky Tips: When glassware

emery board or sandpaper to
make it smooth.
To make delicious favored tea,
add a little grated orange rind to

'Chungking
Listening Post
By Mark Tennien. (CredtiUe
Age, $780,

by WuTk eHUIeU. tCT6uLtOe
Age; $780,
Father Tennien, the author of this
book, is a Maryknoll missioner who
was stationed in Wuchow. China, at
the time Japan attacked the United
States. He was promptly trans
ferred to Chungking to distribute
supplies and money to the "sixty-
two bishops and sixteen hundred or
more Catholic missioners in Free
China" In addition to this job, he
functioned as a correspondent and
radio broadcaster. 1t was heroic
assignment, and one could excuse
Father Tennien if he had written
his whole book about his labors.
But he has not done so. He has
merely explained how he happened
to be on the spot and then has gone
on to report the deeds of other
priests who served the Chinese peo-
pie during the war with Japan.
If any one has been inclined to be-
lieve that the Japanese respected
religion-or even the practical works
of religion, as hospitals and schools
this record should dispel the illu-
sion. 1t is a tale of martyrdom, in
great part. Bombs were dropped on
missions schools, orphanages. Priests
were imprisoned and tortured. The
fate of some still was unknown
when Father Tennien wrote his
book
More surprising were his findings
when he was sent into China S
northwest and came in contact
with the Communists. both Chinese
and Russian. There German Cath
olic missionaries were subjected to
prolonged torture by the authori-
ties under Russian leadership who
wished to eXtort confessions OF
espionage.
These narrowing tales are not
written in any detectible spirit of
anger. The record is imbued
rather with good cheer and high
spirits. Letters included from Gen
Chennault and Gen. Wedemeyer
testify to the heroic part played by
the priests in the whole course OF
the war. The volume is certainly
an important addition TO war reports
to date

Arogon Poet of the
French Resistance

Edited By Hannah JosephSon
and Malcolm Co1Uley. (Dueu.
Sloan & Pearce)
More and more is being heard In
America about Louis Aragon, one
time Dadaist and more recently a
left-wing novelist and poet. some
of whose work had been translated
here before the war. His part as
a patriot has been praised. 1t mas
been noted that he changed the
hammered quality of his work to
one calculated to have a popular
appeal and that he threw ninself
unreservedly into the Resistance
movement. In this volume there
is presented a connected, though by
no means detailed account of his
patriotic labors, together with some
translations of his Resistance prose
and poetry.
While this record is wholly un-
critical, is pitched, indeed, in q
tone of utter adulation, its limited
factual material is valuable. Only
when the whole history of the Re
sistance is published will we have
a clear understanding of Aragon's
part in relation to that of his lit
erary colleagues. In the meantime
we cannot question the fact that
he is one of the bright geniuses of
contemporary French literature. In
all probability the reports in this
country of his patriotic endeavors
will be followed by more extensive
translations of his work.
Malcolm Cowley, in his sketch of
Aragon's labors in the Resistance,
tells us of his organization of the
National Committee of Writers, OF
his editorship of certain under
ground reviews and of his contri5u-
tions to certain periodicals which
the Vichy regime permitted to exist
the latter in terms carefully CAL
culated to strike beyond their ap-
parent meaning. Aragon, he i'm
plies, took on himself as a writer
the dual burden of becoming the
peoples voice and of speaking back
to the peoples ear the message of
hope.
The poems which the volume in
cludes are fine, even in translation
They have noble music and a
heart-breaking eloquence. The prose
varies. Some of it reads much like
a routine patriotic appeal. Some
of it strikes deep. An introduction
written for 80 sonnets by Jean
Cassou, composed while Cassou
was in solitary confinement, is per-
haps the best of the selections.
