The Hard Way.
Mrs. Rineharts calm acceptance
that life is hard was gained the
hard way, and the violence that
rocks her books very often derives
from her own troubled years. Her
father committed suicide. AS a.
nurse she saw human drama at
first hand. Her mother died trag-
ically when Mrs Rinehart was in
Washington during the '20s. In 1947
a cook who had been in her employ
for Is years tried to shoot and stab
her. In her 70-odd years she has
suffered much ill-health, many
major operations and heart trouble,
and has successfully weathered can
Ger. Balancing that was her fine,
firm marriage to her fortnight doc

management of her complicated
financial affairs and was a shreWd
critic of her work until his death.
She saw her three sons successfully
launched in publishing, and gave
them The Door spectacular

Fast Adventure
In For-Awoy Places
THE RESTLESS VOYAGE

NINA PEMBERTON.


THE Restless Voyage" will afford
some refreshing reading to those
who like fast-moving adventure
novels about the exotic corners of
the world, where men laid down
their lives for territorial stakes We
now take for granted. The relief
and refreshment will come by virtue
of the total lack Of large-busted
beauties, and vivid descriptions Of
violent love making, so prevalent
in most swashbuckling novels.
Archie Campbell is just a Scotch
sailor with the salt air of the Clyde
in his veins. His curiosity and de-
termination take him to many a
far land in the early 1800s. Those
were the days when the going was
tough, and survival at sea was
problematical Shipwrecked first in
the bleak Aleutians, he later finds
great calm and peace of mind in
the Sandwich Islands.
Throughout this saga Of hard
ship, hope, despair and determine
ton run the moral writings of a
man who felt he was a modern
Job, whose duty it was to suffer
affiiction. The story and its
handling are different and inter-
esting.

The former Yugoslav Am
bassador to the United States
draws a many-count indictment
against people and nations who
had a hand in-or failed to raise
a hand against-Soviet seizure
and Communist control of his
country.
The final verdict of history may
be years away. But Mr.. Fotitch' S
evidence, while sometimes ex parte,
and his charges, occasionally biased,
form a major part of the record.
His account deserves thoughtful
study. especially because so many
Americans have known so little
about the complex Yugoslav situa-
ton and for a time accepted SO
much that was proved tragically
wrong by postwar events.
Mr.. Fotitch, Minister and Ambas-
sador here from 1885 to 1914, was
among those tried with Gen. Mihail-
ovich and was sentenced in alb
sentia to 20 years hard labor He
defends Mihailovich and shows
that he himself had no more liking
for the Nazis than for the Soviets.
His testimony against Tito and his
warning that Tito has not changed
mis- spots by taking issue with Mos
COW add strength to his case.
Tito Trouble.
In his championship of the Serbs,
Mr.. Fotitch will be accused of one
sidedness. He has few good words
for the Croats and various political
adversaries. This, however, does not
weaken his main points, particularly
his account of what he regards as
Allied double dealing if not double
crossing of his country in favor of
Tito, Russia, and eventually an iron
curtain for the Balkans.
Mr.. Fotitch writes forcefully, even
passionately, in his fight to end the
enslavement of that one-third of
Europe which has been sacrificed to
Soviet dictatorship" He ends with
an optimistic report that the peoples
of that part of Europe have not re-
laxed their opposition or lost hope
that national liberties and personal
freedoms will be restored to them
with the aid of the United States
and other democracies.

THE NORTHERNER
BY Joan Colebrook. (Charles
Scribner's Sons, $500
At first glance it would seem that
Joan Colebrook's novel of an Aus
tralian family was all dressed up.
Her prose is meticulous, her charac-
terizations we'll initiated, her mas
terry of the details of everyday life
simple and convincing. But it be-
comes apparent after the first hun
dred pages or so that her book has
no place to 60. She takes several
interesting bypaths in the lives OF
minor characters, but they are. for
the purposes of the story, blind
alleys. In her attempt to present
kind of panorama of life in Aus
tralia during the precarious '2Os and
'3Os she discusses dock strikes and
cut-throat competition caused by
newcomers on the land. But this
information is spread so thinly
through a welter of family episodes
that it's impact and significance Is
dinmed. not to say lost.

impulsively buys in great tracts. He
whines when his neighbors unsport-

behaves in buoyantly adolescent

seems much more interested in the

She discusses the emotional COM

explicitness. But they seem caught
in the static quality of the novel
and move as If in a dream. Miss
Colebrook is a good writer, but she
seems to have nothing much to say
