Veteran Files Second Suit
For 10 Surplus Planes

George w. Tompkins of San

District Court suit to prevent
the Government from allocating
airplanes to airlines instead of SELL
ing them to veterans with prefer
ence certificates, yesterday filed a
second suit seeking to force release
Of 10 of the surplus C-54s to veterans.
The earlier suit involved SO C-54s.
District Court held the Government
had right to allocate the planes
to airlineS to fulfill a need. It was
alleged, however, by Mr.. Tompkins
that actually the airlines did not
want all 38 planes.
Accordingly, yesterdays suit said
the plaintiff had agreed to stipulate
that the earlier litigation apply to
% of the planes and claimed there
are 10 of the planes which the air.
lines do not want. Naming War
Assets Administrator Robert M
Littlejohn as defendant. the suit
asks that the 10 planes be released
so that veterans with preference
certificates may purchase them.
Meanwhile, a District Court Or
der has stayed the Government
from selling any of the SO planes
to airlines pending an appeal from

earlier case.

Census Bureau Finds
57,370,O00 Employed,
Two Million JobIess

The Census Bureau today placed
the number of the Nations en-
ployed at $3.50, 900, but other Fed
eral bureaus, using other methods,
counted only 100000.
There are 48,630,0OO nonfarm
workers and 8,740,000 farm workers,
the Census Bureau explained.
The Bureau of Agricultural Eco
nomics placed the total OF those
employed on farms on October at
II ,486 900. The Bureau of Labor Sta
tistics said there are 40,147,000 on
nonfarm payrolls, only 100000 below
the wartime peak. Those employed,
thus counted by these two bureaus,
total nearly 100000
The Census Bureau said there are
about 100000 unemployed.
How They Figure.
Both the agriculture and labor
agencies count the number of jobs.
Census counts people. The Bureaus
of Labor Statistics and Agricultural
Economics include only employees on
some one else's payroll. Census in
cludes all persons, including those
who have their own business, family
workers, domestic service workers
and others. While Census counts

This bureau said wages for hired
men on farms are at history's peak.
They average $494 daily without
board, compared with $4.39 a year
ago. The 1859 average was only
$155. The agency placed the total
of those employed on farms on Oc-
tober / at per cent above the fig
ure year ago. The South Atlantic
States, including Maryland and Vir-
ginia, showed the largest wage in
crease, averaging 18 per cent above
the pay Of year ago.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics
said that between August and
September, there were 266 900
more jobs. Manufacturing and
trade accounted for gains of 121 900
each. Schools reopening meant a
rise of $4,000 jobs on Government
payrolls, but there were 10000 few
er Government employees than there
were a year ago. the bureau said.

The author of this book was a
member of the French Chamber of
Deputies at the time of the French
surrender. He voted against the
armistice, then fed to America,
where he undertook to serve his
country by publishing q resistance
newspaper, Pour la victoire. He
was at first a follower Of Gen.
Charles de Gaulle, but altered his
allegiance when, as he AYERS, the
general departed from patriotic
pattern of conduct. From being a
loyal supporter, Mr.. De Kerillis be-
came a bitter opponent. and now
he writes book of charges and re-
examinations.
His main accusation is that Gen.
De Gaulle substituted personal po-
litical ambition for a patriotic mil

says. when the general was hailed
as the embodiment of French re-
sistance. So much praise, we are
given to understand. went to his

Not His Best
THE BULWARK
By Theodore Dresser. Double

By Theodore Dresser. Double
day; $2.75,)
The posthumously published work
of q famous author usually sells.
Sometimes 1t is significant work,
sometimes it is not, but the public
which has read the author In his
lifetime can be depended on to
manifest its interest, even with q
whetting of curiosity. In anything
which appears bearing his name
after his death. Seemingly an
awareness Of this dependability h1s
led q publisher to bring out q new
novel by the late Theodore Dresser.
The Bulwark" Is not significant
work. It Is q mass OF the famous
Dresser faults-bad writing, maud
lin seriousness, dnllness, crudity-
without the compensating Dresser
virtues of contempor reality and
impressive Characterization. It reads,
indeed, like something which Harold
Bell Wright might have perpetrated
In about the year 1906. 1t will add
nothing to Mr.. Dreiser's quite suffi-
cient glory. 1t will, at most, remind
people that he did do better.
1t is pompous and dreary re-
port on the history of a wealthy
American Quaker family from the
late years of the 18th century to the
1920s. The parents marry in idyllic
love made purposeful by genuine
religious faith. The five children
grow up in changing world and
run into disaster of various kinds.
The mother dies of grief. The father,
though he Is unable to understand
where he failed, humbly accepts the
will of God. It is an old and hon.
orable theme. 1t requires character
for its development, however, and
Mr.. Dresser has neglected to furnish
1t Herewith.
No person in the book has the
faintest vestige of life. The people
are wrath alike generalizations
Weighted with the groaning load of
Mr.. Dreiser's style they soon cease
to be even approximations of human
beings and become figures of demon
stration. in a completely obvious
lecture.
I have said elsewhere that Dresser
wrote good books badly. Here he
has written badly without produc-
ing anything of sufficient integra-
ton to deserve the name of book on
any terms. I can find only one trace
Of significance in THE Bulwark,"
and that is this-it deals with its
people, such as they are, on terms
of conventional morality. Good and
bad in it and defined in the manner
OF a generation ago, but without the
hypocrisy which appertained to the
definition in the time when it was
sanetified by general acceptance,
without smugness, that is to say.
There Is a good deal of evidence that
moral values are being reinstated in
the general consciousness and. in
that connection, the theme of THE
Bulwark" can claim to be significant.
But theme without characters or
art, a theme that is merely stated
and that badly, is no noticeable con-
tr1bution to literature.

his decisions. He became their un-
whiting tool. They spied on the re-
sistance movement for the Germans
and subtly influenced De Gaulle to
comply with German plans. Those
who opposed this clique were soon
eliminated-as, for instance, An
tome de st. Exupery, who Mr.. De
Kerillis Says was shot down on a
resistance mission by g. plane os-
tensibiy sent to give him protection.
Churchill knew the true situation
and withheld his confidence from
De Gaulle accordingly, in the view
Of Mr.. De Kerillis.
The book carries on in this man.
ner through the whole of the war.
Its weakness would seem to be that
1t does not always state its proofs,
but substitutes for them mere as
sertions that its claims are true.

He has knack for writing a news

WILLIAM E. BARRETT
Although william E. Barrett was
not available, he is about the most
successful of all the story tellers
who have elected to live in Denver
and write. He appears continually
in the big name magazines. He
lives here with his wife and two
children and turns out fewer stories
than he could sell, so much is he in
demand. AS person he is obvious
ly popular with the other writers,
for all Of theD mentioned his charm
as well as his ability in his craft.
WILLIAM RAIkE
Bill Raine's experience of older
stories coming back and supporting
him in luxury took a strange turn
recently. Fifteen years ago he sold
a story called '"The Broad Arrow to
Adventure Magazine. The editor of
it remembered the story, thinking it
movie material. Later at Good
Housekeeping, where the gentleman
was an editor, he remembered it
while talking to Bill Barrett. He
suggested Barrett tell Mr.. Raine to
send copy Of it to him because
the editor was now going to work
for Sam Goldwyn. BY this coinci-
dence of his memory the story was
bought for the movies just last week.
LEoNoRA WEBER
Lenora Mattingly Weber has lived
IN Denver and supported a sizeable
family by writing since she started
20 years ago. She is Irish with the
coloring so attractive in the race,
blue eyes, fair skin and dark hair.
She also has Irish vivacity and
humor, all of which has endeared
her to home town people who speak
of her lovingly.
When she was a little girl she an
nounced that some day she would
have her name on the back Of the
Saturday Evening Post. Why that
location, nobody knows. But as an
adult she has had many stories in
the front of that magazine. They
have usually been family problem
stories. I was told that she be-
gan to write when she had two
children and was expecting another,
and that is true in that she then
began writing seriously every day.
At first she wrote children's books
and stories for every sort of mag
azine under the. sun. Gradually she
went into the slicks with her stories
and three years ago began to work
on an adult novel. Losing her hus-
band few months ago left her so
desolated that she has not contin-
ued on it. But she is taking heart
now and, diverted by her six young
sters, she will soon be back at work
on the book again. A regular col
umn on family problems - about
which she is an experts to appear
in a Catholic magazine, Extension,

She is great friend of Mary
Chase, whose Harvey" plummeted
her into such success.
