Leonid Sobolev's collection Of ma

Under the Soviets he continued his

oy JOftH r. Muf4NuHu, fLILttS
BroDn; s275.)
For those who liked wick
ford Point" and 1.-The Late
George Apley," this is second
string Marquand. It is acute and
to the mark, but it is also less
human and of considerably less
breadth than those earlier
novels. For local readers it may
be well to mention that its scene
is largely wartime Washington.
It has a theme which is famil-
lar to Marquand readers-the
theme Of character, somewhat
stodgy, somewhat pedestrian,
triumphing over brilliance and
temperament. The demonstra-
ton is worked out through still
another familiar Marquand de-
vice-that of the two destined
for each other who do not real
lie their destiny until too late.
About the only new aspect of
the novel, indeed, is the setting,
and that is also the best thing.
MIR. Marquand knows his Wash
ington types. He knows them
with such accuracy that at times
you will find yourself suspecting
that he has had something more
definite than mere types in
mind.
Story Opens in Wartime.
The brilliance and tempera-
ment afore referred to are pre-
sented through Polly Fulton. the
heroine, daughter of the famous in
dustrialist. "B. F." Polly begins life
under the handicap of knowing
that she is nouveau richie in COM
munity Of riches not nouveaux. In
resentment she goes in for the
social conscience and marries a
bright young man who typifles
social conscience on the radio. But
her love is for Robert Tamsin, her
aristocratic neighbor, and Robert
reciprocates. Still when Polly mar
ries, he takes a nice, quiet girl to
wife and dutifully renounces his
former feeling. Robert. incidentally,
Is the one who demonstrates his
character.
ALI this is told in fashbacks. The
story opens in wartime, with Polly's
social-conscience husband making
constantly more frequent trips tol
Washington, where he is an idea
boy, and offering her progressively
more fiimsy excuses for staying
away. She comes to town herself
finally, and then she discovers that
her husband has an informal estab-
lishment in Georgetown with a
pretty but dullish secretary. 1t
seems that he has found Pollys
hrilliance trying. She then sees
that Robert was her real love, and
fate, of course, brings her and Rob-
ert together. But Robert, who DEM
onstrates character. has his own
shall we say Observation-Disclosures
swer.
MIR. Marquand casts lack-luster
eye on the idea boys generally. The
takers who swarm in Washington's
salons are, as he shows them, pretty
shoddy specimens, and he does not
spare his talent for mockery. The
social conscience racket he puts
down as just that, showing that its
entrepreneurs are not only ro-
botized mentally, but cynical about
their own pretensions. The simple,
unimaginative Robert, who lives by
q traditional code, A1ines beside
them in honor and manliness. But
the character of Polly, who gets
most of Mr.. Marquand's attention,
is never clearly defined. You hear
q lot about her brilliance, but she
seems a very ordinary number, not
withstanding
The book is good reading only if
you forget about its authors more

WASHINGTON, July 6-H didn't get into the newspapers but President Truman attended an inter- esting private dinner party the other nght-a birth day party in honor of his Secretary of the Treasury, John Snyder.

 Delightful Mrs Gardner, however is a resource fM lady-n more ways than one Her father drew up the corporation papers for Henry Ford when Ford first started making autos, and paid in then worthless Ford stock Mrs. Gardners father also smart enough to hang to the stock.
 Eighteen guests attended the dinner including senator Barkley who, because of his WlfeS illness, seldom goes out to dinner. However, he made exception in this and the first to arrive.
 Weary after hectic day of trying to pilot price control through the Senate Barkey suggested drink Polite host Gardner demurred. He suggested they should not drink before the arrival of the Pres ident of the United States
 'Ill be damned if I'll wait for him" replied Trumans best friend in the Senate. I've ranked him for years, and I'm not going to be outranked when 1t comes to drink now

WASHINGTON, July 6-(NEA)--Jesse Jones is again being invited to the White House. When Fred M. VinSon sworn in as Chief Justice Of the United States, Jones right up there in front on the South Portico, where he could be seen. Henry Wallace was also on the portico, but not Jones.
 This is the third fourth time Jones has been invited to the White House since Truman became President Though Jones has been extremely critical cies he has never been called down for expressing his opposition Jones has been close friend of Sec retary of the Treasury John M Snyder since the days when Snyder worked for Jones in the REC.
 Uncle Jesse's relationship with the administra- tion is described in this way Though Roosevelt fired him. he was never in Harry Trumans bad graces. He is again moving in administration circles But he is by no means what might be called administration adviser and it would not be safe to jump to any con- cusons on his future participation in administration affairs.

WASHINGTON The fate of price control through renewed OPA is before the people and Congress.

 OPA represents the attempt of the Government behalf of the people, to prevent goug1ng of con- slnlers.

BILBO RIDES AGAIN
(Hartford Courant)

eHartfOrd Courant)
 IL appears certain from the re- turns to date that the Democratic electorate in Mississippi has nomin- ated-and consequently will elect Theodore G. Bilbo for third term in the United States Senate. His margin over his four opponents in the primary is slight, but barring an unlikely last-minute reversal, it is sufficient to give him the ma jor- ity he needs to win. With the great bulk of the precincts already heard from to the tune of 189,O00 votes The Man" as he blushingly calls himself, has lead of some 4100 over the total strength of his four adverSarieS.

Despite his bon1- hastic hluster in urging all red blooded Anglo-Saxons' to see to 1t by any means. however violent, that the Negroes did not exercise the vote tine Constitution guarantees them, those who could meet the States legal qualification did vote for the first time in history. 1t is esti- mated that there were only from one to two thousand Of them quail flied to cast ballots. and obviously their votes did not influence the outcome. But it cannot be denied that the Negroes who visited the polls bore themselves with more dig nifty than did the United States Senator who dsgraced his station by seeking without sanction of law to bar them from voting. Among those of their race who took part in the primary for the first time were a number of war veterans who are more representative of the ideals this nation stands for than is The Man" himself. It was noteworthy that no violence enSued from the shattering of precedent. In fact, the only violence in the entire prlm- ary was that resorted to by Senator Bilbo's counterpart in the House, Congressman John E. Rankin, who assaulted an Associated Press pho- tographer taking his picture outside the polling place.
 Though the Senator is elected for another term. he may conceivably face a, movement among his col leagues to deny him his seat on the grounds that he has made only too evident his unfitness for such of- flee. There is no man in the Upper Chamber who is held in less repute by his colleagues than is the Sen ator from Mississippi. If he main- tains his foolproof control over the vote in his own State, as he appears to be doing. the Senate would dc well to bar him, in order to preserve it's own elf-respect.

An Interesting Race

 Synthetic rubber though expensive and inferior in respects was good enough the wartime rubber bat te Now it must compete in price and quality with natural rubber in peacetime competition
 An indication that the competition will be keen found 1 the fact that 334 patents taken out last yeara most one dayn the synthetic rubber field. These, ot course are basic inventions inventions based the first largescale usage They improvements resulting from ample data derived from observing characteristics and performance in widespread considerable period o time.
 Probably the chief reason why this will be inter- esting is that such competition holds the eventual promise of giving the public varied and abundant rubber prod ucts at lower prices.
