He Was so Years
Ahead Of Time
sTENDHAL
(. By Matthew Josephson.
Doubleday; $4.)

By Matthew Josephson.
Doubleday; 50
With this volume, Matthew Jo-
sephson makes worthy addition to
his growing shelf Of personal his
tories. II his "Stendhal' is not as
popularly appealing as his "Victor
Hugo" the reason would seem to
lie in the subject. The work is quite
as well brought OF and. to the pur-
sucr of literature, ought to be
valuable study.
Stendhal was an obscure and in
turning sort of person, a man who
wrote constantly but did not. until
his middle years, enter seriously into
the field of published literature. He
spent a checkered youth as student
of engineering, soldier in the army
Of Napoleon, an amateur business
man and a public offcial. In all
these occupations his interest seems
to have been chiefly women. He
wrote and talked necessarily about
love. His significance to the reader
todya, as Mr.. Josephson sees it, is in
his use OF a virtually modern
psychology in novels written SO
years in advance of the develop
ment Of modern pathological study.
To make this point, MIR. Joseph
son. necessarily engages In extended
analyses of Stendhals published
works. These passages will be, for
students chiefly. They do establish
Mr.. Josephsor's argument, but as
the ideas with which they deal have
by now become commonplace In lit
erature, the somewhat tenuous pur-
suit of them to their very early for
nation becomes more scholarly than
lively. As for StendhaPS personal
history, 1t suffers In reporting some-
what as it did In Life.
He was man whose personality
seemed to ehlde his associates. A
profound inferiority feeling drove
him In his youth to exhibitionism,
to boasting and overplaying. His
despair of the disorder of life led him
to formulate rules for meeting all
sorts OF situations and, in living
out those rules. he frequently de-
parted from reality. All his life he
was prone to ask himself what he
was-his sense Of his own being con-
|stantly escaped him. In his latter
years he did achieve a harmony but
then he tormented himself with the
question as to whether his peace was

THERE'LL be plenty Of turkey
i this Thanksgiving-but how to
get them cooked VIII probably cause
many housewife some problems.
Most of this years turkeys, it
seems, are built along the lines of
an overstuffed sofa. In the con-
servative words of one member of
the turkey trade:
There will be a predominance of
large birds"
Since grains were decontrolled,
turkeys have enjoyed a pre- Thanks
giving feast Of their own with no
attention paid to waistlines.
A large number of roasters ap-
parently we're built on the theory
that turkeys didn't grow larger than
l8 or 20 pounds. Turkey hens
weighing l6 to 10 pounds will be
available. Turkey Toms Weighing
20 to % pounds will cause the real

Nearly 100000 Passes

issue has q distinct identity.
This identity is guaranteed by the
fact that color combinations in the

knowingly. and although practically
any color may be used, only strong
by-contrast colors such as green on
orange or red on white are con-
sidered.
The first passes were printed
with the number of the week in the
right-hand corner. They had un-
usual and brilliant designs and
often included safety slogans and
seasonal greetings. From January

from such general makeup, they

Hens Bring Higher

The large birds have also created
an unusual situation in wholesale
turkey markets, where the gap be-
tween quotations for young hens

cheaper.

Passes Used to Sell
For ST on Buses Only

The passes. when first issued
we're for bus travel only and sold
for 81. Shortly thereafter, the
price was increased to SIPS which
made the pass good for streetcar
travel as well.
According to E. Cleveland Gid
dings, special assistant to the presi-
dent Of the Capital Transit Co.,
the passes provided an average of 50
rides per week for the pass holder.
However, even this service does not
end the usefulness Of the colored
scrap Of cardboard. The company
received . recent request from q
mother in Virginia who asked for
two Of the out-dated passes with
the explanation that her sons col
lection would not be complete with
out the two he had missed. The
two missing passes were promptly
supplied.
1t might be added that one Of the
best collection Of passes can be
found in the well-bound scrapbook
in Mr.. Gidding's Office. He will
tell any one. willing to listen. that
the collection Is Of one Of the best
series pf transit passes in the coun-
try. Any one seeing 1t will prob
ably be inclined to agree.

almost never-heard-o men
are getting snow shoes and fur

They are the beacon maintenance
men Of the Civil Aeronautics Ad-
'ministration, whose Job it is to
service the 2,15i lighted beacons
which guide the planes, military.
commercial and private, along vast
stretches Of the country's airways.
Although generally unsung, these
anonymous men perform a task Of
equal Importance with the more
publicized Lighthouse Service of the
Coast Guard.
This winter the task will be more
vital than ever, with commercial
airlines flying in eyer-increasing
numbers. 1t is anticipated that in
1947 record number OF 1900 CON-
mercial aircraft will be flying regu-
larly scheduled routes.
Steady Wink of Beacon
Warns Flyers Heart
With attention centered ON radio
and radar navigation devices these
days, the public is apt to lose sight
of the fact that the good old
fashioned INLAND lighthouses" are
still important in helping the pilot
reach his destination.
Radio ranges and sensitive aIti-
meters are fine. but there still is
nothing SO warming to the heart of
pilot as to look out Of his window
and see the friendly, winking light
of an airways beacon below.
Then he knows for sure just where
the mountain peak or the factory
smoke stack Is in relation to his
plane.
Once a month, at least, the
maintenance men must visit the
beacons to check the motors which
turn the revolving lights, and, in
some. to check the supply Of acety-
lene gas.
II passing airliner reports a
beacon out of service, a man Is dis
patched at once to see what the
trouble Is.
Lights Spaced Regularly
All Over Country
The beacons are placed at regular
intervals on all airways routes
throughout the country, from the
high ranges of Alaska to lonely lit
tie Swan Island in the Gulf OF
Mexico. southernmost outpost Of
marked routes.
In the wild, mountain regions of
the Northwest and Northeast.
armed professional guides must ac-
company the maintenance men,
where attacks by wild animals are
always distinct possibility.
To reach the beacons on some of
the more remote mountain peaks
the maintenance workers have to
rope themselves to guides and climb
like any mountaineer over the
sheer faces of cliffs. In addition
they have to lug their tools, spare
parts and food with them.

Eisenhower SeeksAfmY
 Of Soo,ooo

WASHINGTON, July II Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower told the House Military Committee that he could ''see no possibility in the next 15 to 2G years" of reducing the army below a strength of 800,- GOO officers and enlisted men.
 Urging prompt approval of legis- lation to permit the appointment of 25000 additional regular army of ficers, the Chief of Staff visualized a peacetime army of 100000 for the air forces and 100000 for sup porting forces
 The figure of 100000, he said, will be reached through a gradual de- cline from the 100000 scheduled to be in uniform on July l, 1947.
 To man such a peacetime army properly, Eisenhower said, 80,O0O officers would be needed Of these 50,000 would ne regulars and 30,000 temporary officers on active duty. Existing law limits regular officer appointments to 25,0OO.

Secret Army Document Is Introduced al Tokyo
 Criminal Trial

TOKYO. July II Fully two years before Japan created the 1887 China incident the Kwan- tung army prepared a plan of pro- paganda to convince the world of our lawlulness' the International War Crimes Tribunal heard today.
 This wss disclosed in a secret army document introduced by the prosecution, which sought to show that some oi the 27 alleged war plotters now on trial were deeply involved in plans for Japanese ex- pansion on the Asiatic mainland.
 The document contained this point to be sold to the Chinese public:
 Tt must be made clear that when we do dispatch our military forces to China sometime in the future we do 1t for the purpose of punishing the Chinese military clique and not the Chinese people dt ldi sc
 The plan was sent by Gen. Juzo Nishio, Chief q; Staff of the Kwan- tung army, to Vice Minister of War Motoo Furusho in Tokyo Dec. 12, 1885. It clearly said the army would go into China proper-yet the incident which 'necessitated" such action came two years later.
 One phase of the propaganda plan was to make the Chinese think they were burning with de- sire for independence because the Central Government had too long treated them like a colony" tJapen set up an autonomous state in North China as a buffer for Man churia.)
