First Novel
Presented
WILDING GRAFT
BY Jack r. Clemo. (The Mac
milan Co.; $3.)
Reviewed by
ROBERT K. WALSH.

ROBERT K. WALSH.
Robert Browning supplied the
phrase for the strange title of this
equally strange first novel. Thomas
hardy may have provided at least a
precedent for the grim writing,
bleak setting, dour characters and
harsh story. Mr.. Clemo, however, is
too we'll stepped in his theme and
too individualistic In his style to be
an imitator.
He proves he is forceful and
faithful in having his main char
acter, Garth Joslin. sorely mis-
understood by the fictional villagers
without being hopelessly misunder-
stood by readers. Mr.. Clemo,
Cornish clay workers son who re-
fers to himself as "miSfit and
REBEL" has a pervading sympathy
and unusual powers of imagery and
description. These qualities save
the book from being as bitter as 1t
sounds or as fatalistic as 1t threat
ened to be.
If anything, Mr.. Clemo is so adept
at realism that some of the events
and surroundings seem unreal. He
also is so unrelenting in the gloom
of early chapters that the final
triumph of vision may appear
almost too good to last.

AlL-STARS FROM ANCHORAGE LOSE
 10 COLUMDIANS
Visitors Arrive Only 2h Hours Before Game
 Schedule Tonight

The Anchorage All-Stars arrived in Juneau just 2ia hours before the game time last night, and the coach, First Lieutenant Arthur Wilcox explained the reason for the delay
 The plane in which the AL Stars were to make the flight was out of commission at flight time and the team was forced to bor- rev CAT rom the 54th Troop Carrier Group at Anchorage; then the plane, Juneau-bound. ran into fog at Gustavus.

Those on the team are Corporal Joe Groller, Master Ser geant Emory Morgan, Staff Ser gCant James Wombles, Corporal Gerald Davis. Corporal Charles Johnson. Corporal George Gearino, Private First Class Lou Wood Sergeant Johnny Crawford, Ser qeant Art Tintinger, Private First Class Gerald Rcssbach and Staff Sergeant Glenn McPherson. An interesting fact about the AL Star is that their average height is six feet
 Last nights game between the All Stars and Columbia Lumber was comparatively slower than some cf the games Juneau fans have seen this season. Again it seemed to prove that a strange court has something to do with the playing of visiting team.
 Colunb.ans' Aase and Scott, both fast floormen, were able to slip in and get the ball before the All-Stars could recover from a play. Being small has it's advan- tages Several of the All-Stars took tumbles on the court and pos sibly few floor burns resulted.
 At the end of the first half the Columbians were leading the All-Stars with a score of 28 to IA However, in the third quarter it looked as though the An-Stars would even the score when they netted IS points against the home teams 12 Tn the last quarter the Columbians again carried high point and ended the game with the final score Tor Columbia Lurn- Der 54 and the All-Stars 43.
 High man for the Columbians last night was O'Connor, who slipped a total of 2l markers through the hoop High man for the All-Stars was Johnson. with a total Of 12
 Aase, the usual high-scorer for the Columbians, and Hogins tied for next high. and on the All Stars, Groller almost tied with his hi9h-seoring teammate.

QUESTION OF ANGLES
BY FREDERICK SKERRY

Later Clem asked for his time
which was just as well.
A few days later Dave began to
eat again in the Elite. And I quit
staying late to look at Mary when
she wasn't constantly on the move.
A few weeks afterwards we were
practically finished with the bridge;
half the crew had left. One night I
went to the picture house and saw
Mary and Dave sitting couple Of
rows in front. figured that Dave
was making up for lost time. After
the show. while on my way to where
I slept, I crossed the street just as a
car popped out Of cross street. I
got it in the right leg.
Evidently busted leg wasn't too
much for that little hospital in the
next town; anyhow that's where I
landed. Dave was waiting when
they'd got my leg set and in a cast.
I had been wondering about him
and Mary, but he was no talker. But
1 was sure I'd find out something
from Mary, if could see her.
And I did see her the next after
noon; she walked into my room not
a minute after visit-time began. But
Arizona sun., 1948-03-19

the only news she let out was that
Dave had heard that Jack was get
ting on all right but would be laid
up for long time.
For three weeks Mary came
every day.
Then the crew was through with
the bridge, and Dave, making a
last evening visit, was as dead-pan
as ever. That puzzled me, and I
banked on Mary being less shut
mouthed.
A ND, thinking of her. I realized
a that once out Of the hospital I'd
see little of her. I had that load on
my mind when she came next after
noon looking pleased as Punch. She
told me how the gang had bid her
goodbye the day before.
Then she said, II had quite a
compliment last night, Charlie:
Dave asked me to marry him."
Congratulations, Mary!" I said.
''Dave is a grand guy" And ]
meant it.
Eyes, he is" she nodded. Hell
make a fine husband-for some girl
who wants to worry about him
while he's climbing over bridges.
But l had to turn him down. I'll
marry nobody have to worry
about at the start. That's that. Now
look, I just talked with the doctor.
He says you can leave here in two
or three days, but you'll have to 60

Now I have it all figured out. have
a perfectly good house and oodles
of room, and nobody in it but my
self - except when Ann James is
there doing housework-and that's
where you go from here"
Listen, Mary" I put in. you've
been an angel of kindness. But
there's a limit, I know what these
small places are, Mary, and I won't
have you talked about on my &C.

II see what you mean. She
looked down at me, and her eyes
were dreamy. "Of course it would
be nice :" said nothing, and she
wagged her head and looked at the
ceiling.
my heavens! Did a woman ever
work harder for a man?'
That didn't make sense. What
MANI" I said.
"You! Who else, for goodness
sake?"
Listen, Mary" I said. I felt all
hollow inside. Don't kid me-not
about that"
''I'm not kidding-anything but"
