GEORGIAN LONDON
By John Summerson. (Scrib-

Reviewed by
NINA PEMBERTON

Georgian London" is q fascinat-
ing history Of English architecture
between the 18th and 18th centuries.
To read 1t provides an inspiration,
both historical and factual. to all
who know how to eyaluate the
beauty Of Old World architecture
and the influence which it has
undergone.
The idea Of replanning and re-
building London first came after the
great fire which devastated the city
In 1866. Sir Christopher Wren was
then appointed chief architect to
the city and was responsible for the
beautiful, slender and perfectly pro-
portioned churches, among them st
Paul's, which after the World Wal
II blitz stand out SO proudly and
gracefully against battered and
torn background. 1t is an amazing
fact how many of Wren's churches
did survive the bombing. It will be
interesting to observe the technique
and planning for the rebuilding OF
the city areas at present damaged
1t could be that there will be a
similar revival of construction and
planning which, in turn. will &c
down in the annals of the history OF
this great town.
John Summerson, curator of the
Soane Museum in London has writ.

Goering, who Immediately called in
Hofer and told him that he would
under no circumstances allow such

After q few months, the paintings
were moved to the antiarcraft

ture and other objects Of art from
the collections remained in Karin

About one year later, in February
1945. Goering suddenly ordered
Hofer to take all works of art from
Naples and Montecassino to the
Reichskanzlei. where they were to
be given to Reichsleiter Martin Bor-

them to Munich. Hofer carried out

ries of most of us when we turn to
the baseball score.
II is in It's total effect of driving
home the seriousness Of the poison
Gus un-American creeds blossoming
in postwar America that the signifi-
canoe Of Carlson's work lies. The
book paints an ugly picture. but an
enlightening one The emphasis of
Under Cover" was that many of
the social cancers of the war period
were usually cultured by Nazi and
Japanese agents and their collabo-
rators and dupes. In "The Plotters"
we note a native quality in these at
tacks upon democracy, all the more
startling because subversion is pre-
sented under the guise of patriotism
Made in America Pattern.
Hitler is dead" says Carlson, "but
HitleriSm In America has taken on
a completely new star-spangled face
1t follows q new made in America"
pattern which is infinitely subtler
and more difncult to guard against
than the crude product of the bund-
ists." The soldier, who got to know
the enemy in battle by his weapons
and his uniform, finds, as a return
ing veteran, that the enemy at home
looks like every other American, and
that in his attack he uses the cam
outage Of bogus patriotism. Those
who must want to establish fascism
are today denouncing Hitler's fas-
ciSm.
Realizing that the main prize now
sought Is the mind Of the returning
serviceman, most of Carlson's in
vestigations during the last year
have been concerned with the efforts
Of the enemy to control the different
veterans organizations. The extent
of the inroads they have made will
shock every thoughtful American,
and his reports will be invaluable for
guidance of veterans in selecting the
group they want to join.
Despite the seriousness of its mes
sage, however, "The Plotters" con-
tains many amusing touches. Among
them are Carlson's accounts of his
experience as q mother" while in
vestigating women's organizations,
and of the many times he has
joined with others In booing himself
when. as the author of Under
Cover" he was berated for his pre-
vious undercover work.

The works were not moved from
Camp lures to Alt Aussee, Austria,
despite the fact that Gen. Wolf re-

Himmler to that effect, because
there was no transportation facility
available for that purpose; and with
the surrender, Gen. Wolff personally
informed the Allies about the two
important repositories on the ap-
proaches to the Brenner Pass.
Here the Allies recovered $780,

finest works of Ruebens, Botticeln,
Breughel, Raphael. Bellini, Tintor-
etti, Michelangelo and Donatello.

piled. Crates were built by profess

mVeStlgated know tnat the real
leaders of the movement were never
brought to trial. An organization
which was powerful and bold
enough to threaten law enforcement
officers and newspapermen, even
during the trial, and to develop the
fantastic plan Of breeding typhoid
germs for use in its terrorism, was
certainly backed by forces and men
far different from the ignorant tools
who were convicted.
Carlson Names Names.
The Black Legion, an offshoot OF
the Klan, was at least halted in its
growth by the publicity which fol-
lowed Poole's murder. The men be-
hind it, and the overwhelming ma
jority of its members, however, are
certainly still at work preaching
their un-American gospel of hate
for Catholic. Jew, Negro, labor, the
foreign-born and other minority
groups. In Under Cover" John
Roy Carlson showed how some of
these men were working during the
war to bring about this country's
defeat. His new book, "The Plot
terS," Is report OF his findings
concerning similar activities since
the end Of the war. It is not sur
prising to find names like Edmond
son and Birkhead, mentioned in
connection with the Black Legion
investigation, coming to light again.
Like Under Cover" Carlson's new
book Is certain to be the center of
controversy. 1t names names, it
quotes interviews and documents
and-here the cause Of controversy
1t 1nterprets and states conclusions
about the persons and organizations
named. No reviewer, not even Carl
son himself, is qualified to pass on
the soundness Of all the books con-
clusions, especially those involving
political judgments.
On the other hand, while the book
by the very nature of its contents is
sensational, it should not be too
difficult for the average reader to
distinguish between statements of.
Tered as fact and those which are
merely opinions. The danger of any
book OF this kind Is that the uncriti-
cal reader will accept opinions as
fact. -
Seriousness Driven Home.
One need not accept or agree with
everything Carlson has written,
however, to hail this work as i'm.
portant and to be glad that it has
been published. While almost all
OF the groups and individuals dis
cussed have already been exposed
In the press, 1t is peculiar charac.

two specia patrol jeeps. The train
left its northernmost station on July
20, 1914, and arrived at the Campo
di Marie Station in Florence exactly
% hours later.
5000 Florentines Witness
Return of Famous Works
On July % token load of six
trucks was packed; the trucks were
decorated with the American and
Italian j.. national flags, the 5th
Army insignia, and huge Italian
signs labeled "Florentine Works of
Art Return to Their Proper Home"
The trucks, were driven into the
Piazza della Signoria and parked,
Three thousand Florentines gath
cred to hear 5th Army officers give
short speeches while they went
through the motions of turning the
art treasures over to signor Pier
accini, the Mayor of Florence. This
was quickly followed by ovations, a
banquet and lengthy orations. The
last case of sculpture was unloaded
from the train at o'clock that
night.
On subsequent date, the Floren-
tines had occasion to celebrate the
return of the bronze equestrian
statue of Cosfmo I de Medici, Grand
Duke of Tuscany. After standing
in the Piazza della Signoria for more
than $50 years, the statue had been
dismounted and laboriously trans
ported to q place Of hiding in the
villa Poggia q CaJana in August,
lS43. The triunphal procession OF
the Allied troops. returning with
the tremendous statue to Florence,
created an intense interest and ex-
element in the city. Again speeches.
banquets and orations were in order.
This time, however, the climax OF
the procession was capped by a
driver Of an Italian carozza. who
Joined the procession along the
route and rode alongside the return
ing statue.
With raised hat and a smile from
ear to ear he shouted for the benefit
of all the onlookers. "cosimo. ben
