THE OTHER ROOM
BY Worth Tuttle Hedden. (Cro1Dn
Publishers; $2.75.)
This novel is the story of Nina
Latham, Virginia girl, who signs
up with New York teachers
agency to teach in New Orleans
college she never heard Of. When
she reaches New Orleans, she learns
that it is a Negro college. She de-
cides, nevertheless, to stay, though
she succeeds in concealing from her
family for months the sort of COL
lege it is. She learns for the first
time to appreciate colored people
as individuals.
Leon Warwick, a professor, is
Negro, though he could have passed
for a white man. When he and
Nina realize that they are in love.
they also face the fact that they
can't maryland stay in the South,
where. Leon feels it his duty to teach.
Nina returns home reluctantly, then
goes North to take the masters
degree.
Leftish critics probably will hail
this as another fearless" novel of
the race problem. There have been
many this year. But THE Other
Room" is simply another novel.
Mrs. Hedden was born and educated
in the South. But she doesn't seem
to remember much that's favorable
about the region. Her white char
acters are not too bright. She even
caricatures their speech. G. B. J.

methods as set forth in DR.. Isely's
book.
Day after day in his editorial COL
umns Greeley painted his friends as
saints and his enemies as devils. His
news columns bolstered the editorial
page.
Serious Misrepresentation.
Slanted dispatches from bleeding
Kansas" misrepresented the contest
between free-soilers and Southern
sympathizers there Greeleys cor
respondents in the South during the
1860 campaign, misrepresented the
temper of the Southern people and
allayed the fears of the Northern
conservatives.
DR.. Isely gives detailed account
of Greeley's services in the forma-
ton of the Republican Party. He
was a skillful analyst of political
forces. His work in opposing the
Know Nothings and weaving men,
bers from that party, and in split
ting the Democrats was invaluable
to the Republicans. But DR.. Isely
makes it clear that Greeley's ma
neuvers not only reflected his po-
litical philosophy but also his po-
litical ambitions, which we're never
satisfied.

FOUR STARS OF HELL
By Laurence Critchell. (Decldn
x. McMullen Co., S3.75.)
Reviewed by
ROBERT F. COCKLIN.

ROBERT r. COChLlN.
Author Critchell intended this
book to be an informal history OF
the 5O1st Parachute Regiment, but
actually it goes much further than
that. In reliability it compares
favorably with the best Of war flc-
ton. The experiences of this IA
NOUS airborne outfit provide all the
ingredients for an exciting novel
and the author develops his account
as though it was one. 1t is most
welcome departure from the stolid
offlcial-report type of history that
has been so prevalent.
The 50lst collected their first
battle star in the swamps near
Carentan, France, where they were
dropped in advance of the Nor
mandy invasion. Their next action
was behind German lines in the
vicinity of Veghel in Holland
Among others Gen. McAuliffe has
stated that their biggest job was
the attack east from Bastogne dur
ing the Battle of the Bulge. The
regiment wound up the war in the
mountain fastness of Berchtesgaden
with the remainder of the 10lst Air
borne Division.
There is no room here for eulogiz-
ing the work of this unit or for
detailed discussion of its various
actions. Such matters are well
taken care of through the individual
accounts in this narrative. Four
bells for -Four Stars top
notch.
