that there was more danger of being
ambushed by bandits than by the
Japanese. After endless haranguine
and delay in China the first group
OF agents set out under the guidance
OF a priest. Weeks passed and no
word came from them. They were
feared dead. The mission was be-
lleved to have failed. Washington
grew daily more impatient, but 81
weeks after they had set out radio
contact was made. The first agents
OF OSS had penetrated into Thai

The growth of OSS in the South
east Asia Command area, the polit-
ical picture, the art of living and
participating in clandestine dealings
with our Oriental Allies are all de-
scribed in an immensely interesting
manner. This graphically and flu

CLEMENTINE

S2.50)
Carson McCullers, in her recent
novel, Member of the Wedding"
gave us an artists perception of the
tumult of a girls adolescence. She
took the troubled time out of the
dimensions of exact reality and rem
dered it back in terms of eternal
reality. I thought of her book as
read this work on the same theme
which has just won the Avery Hop
wood Fiction Award. The contrast
is so perfect that 1t seems as if
designed to point the literary moral.
For Peggy Goodwin's book Is all
those things which people expect
when they take up book on an
adolescent child. 1t is sentimental
photography. 1t deals with the
tomboyish aspect of the period in
terms of the humor of tomboy's ex-
ploits, it is in the pure "Rebecca
of Sunnybrook Farm" tradition,
brought, up to date. Its general
mood is-isn't it cute? But, be-
cause it deals solely with surface
manifestations of adolescence, and
those such as a good many unre-
Elective adults choose to take as
typical-it will probably be regarded
as a true picture of that terrible
and least understood time OF life.
Its heroine, Clementine, is an
aroerican schooIpir1 of average mid
dle-class background and her locale
is an Indiana small town. She is
sort of toughie. Aged 10, she i'm
agines that she is Buck Jones. At
is, however, she is thinking OF love
and motherhood and her erstwhile
worried adult friends are looking
at her with misty-eyed approving
mods. There is the plot for you.

Emily Hohn's Own
Conducted Tour
OTHER Love Life
HONG KONG HOLIDAY

By Emily Hahn. doubleday.
S2.75.)
Emily Hahn has in recent months
done SO thoroughgoing a job of
publlclzlng her private life that,
taking up book of hers to review,
one Is in doubt as to whether one
should comment on that book or
on her. She apparently belongs to
the school of authors-growing
steadily-which holds that the es-
sential thing about authorship is to
announce oneself to the world as a
glamorous personality and do little
writing on the side. Miss Hahn
achieved the essence by taking the
world on a conducted tour of her
love life, as it is called.
Every one knows now how the at
tractive young reporter out in China
yearned for child until she was
driven to embrace large apes
gibbons-as substitute. And every
one also knows that, when she
presently achieved her wish and bore
a child, she was unmarried and the
baby's father was an English ma ior
who had living wife. Every one
knows that because Miss Hahn told
every one. She made it all seem like
jolly little whim on her part and
there is no doubt that she carried if
off with success. So presumably she
is established now as an author to
whom the world ought to listen with
respect. am not commenting. I
am merely tracing the process now
SO popular of putting oneself across
IN the literary world of our country.
The present book is a collection
of sketches concerning the period
OF japanese occupation of Hong
Kong. They have to do with Miss
Hahn's own adventures mainly, ad-
ventures in keeping alive during the
acute shortages, of keeping the Jap
soldiers in something approaching a
human state of mind, of her mater
nal anxieties as she faced the likeli-
hood of indefinite residence in jap
held territory, of her dealings with
odd characters in her pursuit of
food and amenities, and so on. The
tone in general is meant to be
humorous but Miss Hahn is a
humorist by rule rather than by
gift. She is just a little too long
about everything. She writes her
points to death before she makes
them
The most adequate description of
the book which I can offer is that
while a number of her sketches have
already had publication in the New
Yorker, they are not up to New
Yorker Standards But she is a
personality, of course. That takes
care of the difference.
