make the child feel insecure and
uncertain, or set an example of
dubious business or social ethics, or
fail to make reasonable attempt to
show interest in the child and
understanding of his aims and
needs, what should be expected
but behavior of the sort that is
labelled annoying" or abnormal
or delinquent?
DR.. Bauer offers this pungent
advice: when we learn to respect
the personalities of our children;
when we learn to treat our children
as human beings; when we put
aside our parental arrogance and
replace it with that humility which
should be the attitude of one who
faces so tremendous responsibility
as the life of a little child; when
we cease thinking that parents can
never be wrong; when we stop try
ing to live vicariously through our
children the lives that were denied
us; when we ourselves adhere to
decent standards of truthfulness and
courtesy consideration and sin
cerity-then and then only will we
find a solution to what is misnamed
juvenile deliquency." (p. 247)
He recognizes, of course, that not
all problems Of behavior yield to
adjustments of attitude on the part
of the parents. Consultation with
the family doctor, the clergyman,
the teacher, the school psychologist,
and the child guidance clinic or the
child psychiatrist should be sought
where indicated; there should be
no hesitancy or unreadiness to get
sound advice A considerable list
of useful books and periodicals is
furnished by the author. Through
out the book the reading matter is
enlivened with sprightly cartoons.
DR.. Bauer has demolished some
cherished delusions, especially the
one of parental infallibility; in so
doing, he has put the parents-and
the youth-of America in his debt.

The author of What Makes

Concurrently, the press agent strug-

No matter if you've already read
these John O'Hara short stories in

you chance to read them again,
they're worth it. And if you are a
stranger to O'Hara's pungent prose
this is your chance to become ac-

O'Hara can say in four compactly
constructed pages what many writer's
require an entire book for. He
writes about movie producers and
school teachers, buns and showgirls,
men in business and women in So
ciety, and each one is just as real
as any one you know because
O'Hara's literary portraits are
painted from life, albeit with a
brush dipped in acid. But that's
OHara, and O'Hara is just about

STANLEY BAITZ,

How could one explain Truni and
Franz? The first, a girl-an unre-
pentant Nazi, arrogant, full of dead
ly hate: the other an American
paratrooper, sensitive, spiritual and
compassionate.
What went into the making Of
such complete antithesisp And
could the spiritual chasm between
them ever be bridged?
The author, setting her story in
Anerican-occupied Germany, and
making frequent use of the fash
back technique, does a creditable job
of answering those questions.
1t was easy to see why the schem-
ing, fanatical Truni hooked up with
Franz. She didn't care for him, but
he could be made use of, especially
since he had access to food and
clothing. 1t was more difficult to
see what he found in Truni. Per-
haps it was his compassion for the
unfortunate But he asked nothing
of her; he found some strange solace
in treating her as his ward, a re-
lationship which puzzled this iniqui-
tous girl who long ago had borne an
illegitimate son for the Nazi state.
True to Form.
Violence has accompanied Truni
all her life. She still runs true to
form. She and Franz unwittingly
become embroiled with two police
men and, thinking they have killed
the men, flee to the mountain camp
of the German Werewolves, the
savage Nazi underground.
A deserter from his asnay, Franz
has ample time to reflect as he waits
with Truni in the mountain cave,
either for capture by the Americans
or, perhaps. death from his new as
sociates, the Werewolves.
However, there is a suspenseful
story Of considerable emotional
power in those tense days Of wait
ing-a story Of Truniis own kampf
between the morass of hate she has
known all her life and the spark Of
love she has never known.
Many a novel doubtless will de-
velop out of the bins of American
occupied Germany but 1t is unlikely
that any will have a more ingenious
theme than this yarn by a WELL
known woman novelist and maga-
zine writer.

Faith Baldwin put her novel

Since there is no reason to be-
