there Is a connection between
the lyrical and rhetorical treno
in Swedish literature ana the
anemic complexion OF SWedlsh
novels.
In Denmark
IN DENMARK during the
occupation few plays and
novels appeared only to be
suppressed by the censor
ship as soon as they We're OUT
and already widely distributed.
This happened to Kai Munks
plav. "Niels Ebbeson' and kel-
vim Lindemanns novel, "A Cradle
of Free Men" Mr.. Lindemann
gave his royalties to the under
ground and had to flee into
Sweden. The novel, another OF
these works where a contempo-
rarv topic has been disguised as
history, now of course has been
reprinted, and so have some OF
the translations Of anti-Nazl
books which the DANISH under
ground secretly made and dis
tributed in stenciled copies.
Nevertheless, Danish authors en-
loved some freedom. Poems out
spokenly patriotic could appear
and were cherished by the whole
nation. The promises of the
"visitors" of blissful future for
Denmark impressed very few
Danish authors. These few now
are paying the penalty for their
sins.
Kai Munk, the playwright
parson, had professed his SYM
pathy for dictatorship when Hit
Ter entered the stage. He was
cured definitely when the per-
secution of Jews in 1888 reVolted
the Nordic nations. During the
occupation he boldly fought for
his faith and his mother country,
and the Germans, feeling very
uncomfortable about this stormy
petrol of parson, most brutally
and unwisely had him assassl-
mated. The Gestapo did to Kai
Munk what his writings never
could have done, making his
name one of lasting fame and a
rallying point of Danish will to
resist the new paganism and the
Germans. Since the peace a lit
erature about Kai Munk has
grown up which already in vol
une surpasses his onw consider
able output.
Books about the experience OF
individuals or groups, or about
the consequences of the occupa-
ton to aides of the national life
are telling what the Danes hac
to keep silent about for five Ions
years. AS almost everywhere
else the interest in this kind o.
literature may be tagging, ant
as to the works putting fortf
proposals or debate about th'
problems of the near or remote
future, they seem to suffer tn
usual fate of such Writing-the,

In Sweden
IF the Swedish censorship

press-not always equally severe.

fishing business, at least 1t was
kept quiet or applied with some
iiberality. 1t did not prevene tlie
publication of Wilhelm Moberg,S
novel Ride This Night" Grams

against giving in to lnJustice,
slightly disguised as historical
romance, or of Eyvind Johnsons
tale of "Krilon," an imaginative
attempt to tell, in terms OF a
conspiracy against the independ-
ence of the small people OF
Sweden by a ruthless and rather
mysterious concern, contempo-
rarv history about the battle be-
tween individual liberty and
dignity and totalitarianism. Even
books about the war in Norway
and some books by Norwegian
refugees appeared. So in Sweden
literary life after the peace Went
along very much on the Old
lines.
"Iibraries"-of a type like
Everyman's Library or the Mod
ern Library-have a long and
honorable history in Sweden.
Since way back, university
circles, the powerful Labor Party
and groups on more or less
businesslike basis have edited
series of books on popular
science, social questions and
editions of the classics as Wen
as series of best novels'-selec-
tions from world literature.
Neither the war nor the peace
interrupted this work of pubic
education. The Swedes were
always alert to keep in touch
with literary events abroad and
to translate important novelties,
from best sellers to outstanding
works of scholarship and science.
Important American books US
ually soon appeared in Swedish.
After the peace also French
literature, also books publlsheo
secretly by the underground, are
again being translated.
Big books on history, natural
science and biography are prob
ably read-and bought-more
widely in Sweden than anywhere
else. Fat or slender volumes Of
poetry too-the great and glori-
Gus tradition of Swedish verse
has for generations been the
pride and delight of the people
A number of young poets, some
of whom seem talented, promise
that this tradition will be carried
on.
AS usual, also, number o
novels appeared last year, nom
of which, however, seem yer,

Reiser, Vaughan Seen
As Keys 10 Dodgers
Hopes for penn1anf
Dy the Assoeieisd Press

HAVANA, Mar. 6.-The Dodgers,
theoretically, need to improve only .
half-game this coming summer to
beat out the st. Louis Cardinals In
the National League, and that will
require scarcely any improvement
at all II the world champions will
only stand hitched.
It's a pleasant theory for the
new Leo Durocher to dwell on these
long tropical evenings. His Brook,
lyns, it. will be recalled, finished in
q tie with the Redbirds last Autumn,
but were subdued in q two-game
play-off. The memory still rankles
Leo.
I'D have beaten them easy If I'd
only had Pete Reiser the last week, !"
he declares hotly. And how about
that first play-off game? We had
Polet beat in that one except for
a couple Of bad breaks"
Leo expects to have Reiser, a
superb outflelder, all the way this
season, and he says he also expects
to have Arky Vaughan, once q great
third -baseman, playing the far sack.
I If both Of them should come
through, the ageing Vaughan and
the ailing Reiser, there Is no deny
ing the Brooks would be formidable
The rest of the club Is an excep-
tionally sound outfit at every spot,
except maybe first base.
Reiser's bad throwing arm, which
kept him on the bench much of
last year. was operated on during
the winter and has been declared
cured.
Proving Reiser Is ready for open
ing day, Leo plans to shift him
over TO left field and leave Carl
FurillS. his sensational rookie n.y.
hawk Of last year, in center. Dixie
Walker, who hit .319 in '46 and
drove in 116 runs, will continue
in right field forever II the Flat
bush fans have their way.
About the 35-year-old Vaughan:
He has been retired from the game
for three years and is attempting
q comeback. Some smart observers
are dubious. Even II he regains
his once-great batting eye, they
wonder about his legs.
II worried about his legs, too"
Durocher comedies, "but after
watching him run here I know he'll
be all right. He's going to help
US plenty"
II Vaughan does come through,
it seems safe to predict that Jackie
Robinson's goose will be cooked, as
third base is the only position at
which Montreal's Negro star is given
chance Of breaking into the
Brooklyn infield.
Pee Wee Reese, one Of the games
top shortstops, is, of course, q fix
ture, and you probably couldn't get
