MY FATHERS HOUSE
Author: Meyer Levin

Price: $3.50
Reviewer: William Henry Huff.
When the Germans marched in
with their machine guns and
herded all the people in Crocow
into the large square, David was
told by his father to run away to
forest, and after the wars end,
theyy would meet again in Pale
stine.
Years full Of loneliness pass,
but David still holds on precar-
iously to existence, and finally
gains entry to Palestine along
with other "illegals," and begins
to search for his family.
David's story is tender, warm,
deeply moving inspiring rather
than depressing. ut is alive with
the courage and warmth of the
men an dwomen of Palestine, the
homecomers who, with all the
odds against them and after
years of the deepest suffering
the world has ever witnessed,
succeed in putting on with their
new Hebrew names the garments
of a new life.

warm and tender story, has CIV

Meyer Levin, whose most re-
cent and successful novels were
THE OLD BUNCH and CITI-
ZENS, was assigned, as a war
correspondent for overseas News
Agency, to find out what had be-
come of the Jews of Europe. The
theme of MY FATHERS HOUSE
the search of survivor for
some contact with his family
was inspired by thousands OF
stories which he heard in the
concentration camps as they were
. liberated. Later, in Palestine, he
covered for the news agency the
arrival of an illegal ship in Haifa

Trading Noises
Cincinnati Enquirer

Up at Canton, Ohio an individual with grudge has been carrying on a one-man war against juke boxes At least we suppose, it's against juke boxes in general although-a single instrument distributor has been bearing the brunt of the attack. While we can't condone the attackers methods, still we do have a certain sympathy for his complaint and respect for his ingenuity Suffering from the con- stant noises emanatng from gaudy record players the man apparently is trying to heap competing noises upon the hapless head of the distributor.
 The telephone at the distributors home Janges constantly The wall of fire sirens all false alarms disturbs his nightly slumbers. Police cars scream to his door Early in the morning milk trucks unload unordered-but nosv-milk bottles on his front porch The door bell rings between times with solicitors who call in response to unauthorized requests.
 We sympathize fully with the plight of the juke box fellow After all, he's only trying to make a living But we sympathize too, with his tormentor who probably has gone for weeks without quiet meal-breakfast lunch or dinner. Eating in res tarants these days precarious business No matter how long or far one searches matter how certain he is that he's found a spot where peace comes with the soup he's doomed to disappointment Before he knows it he's engulfed It may be a booming Jlve number or it may be sirupy crooner-but he's en- gulfed, either way.
 Deep in Sonora, Mexico, few days ago, this writer was certain he'd get away from it all. But the little Mexican restaurant where he stopped for lunch had luke box complete with colored bubbles and bulges They served Deep in the Heart of Texas'-old but still oud-along with the tortllas!

"Bryng Us In No Tripes'
Washington Post)

MT T. c. Skeffngton-Lodge complained rather bitterly to the House of Commons the other day about the quality of American made magazine fiction that is now being bought by British editors for purvey- ance to their innocent readers To judge from the titles quoted by MT Skeffngton- -Lodge-Kisses That Really Count Pick Up Secrets, Love Is an Art. Date Tonight and so on-he had in mind the of tripc that is rolled out for the American pulpwood trade at two cents word thereabouts by industrious and energetic hacks Evidently the American pub
 fishers have discovered a profitable secondary market for the stuff among the countrymen of Chaucer, Shakespeare and Milton.
 MT Skeffington- Lodge, however thought it would be no great hardship to the British public if they were deprived of this Niagara of piffe and tush What he seems to have contemplated was that the government should forbid further importation of Am erican literary trpe the pretext of augmentng dollar credits Such action has already been taken in the case of the Hollywood movies However the Financial Secretary of the Treasury. MT William Glenvil Ha gently reminded MT. Skeffington- Lodge that under article 9 of the loan agreement Great Britain pledged not to discriminate against Ameri products MT Halls point is that the restriction on the importation of Hollywood movies is merely part of general restriction on all foreign movies But since the United States is the only considerable foreign producer of literary tribe n a language which for the purposes of trade may be described English to prohibit it would certainly have appearance of discrimination.
 So that was that MT. Skeffngton-L Lodge ex- plained that he wasn't naTowminded, in the matter He had nothing he said against the American way of life "as long it remained in America MT. Skeffngton- Lodges conception of the American way of life it appeared "a roaring carnival of quick drinks adolescent sex. bright lights and dim think ing" Perhaps this conception is not far from reality as we prefer to think; but the curious thing is that by no all who find this way of life attractive are Americans. Doubtless that explains why British editors are buying rights to the contents of Passion Stories Monthly or True Romance Maga- zine instead of rights to the stuff in the Kenyon Review or the Hibbert Journal which we feel sure they could have obtained equally reasonable terms

NO SPECIAL SESSION?

Governor Gruening has indicated that he Will not call special session of the Territorial Legislature this year even though he feels that the Territory finances are in poor shape and great deal of damage will be done to our programs for education heaith welfare and veterans.
 He points out that he has received only two re- oasts for special session and at least dozen against such move
 It seems strange that if the Territorys various vital programs are suffering for lack of tunds lhere have not been more requests for an extraordinary session This leads one to wonder if the need is so acute Certainly if the need is acute the requests woud be numerous and do not feel that the Governor would allow such situation to exist without taking steps for remedy
 It is true that special session would cost ap- nroxir,ately s50OoO and if the Territory can get by without too much damage until next year 1t would De foolish to spend such large amount unnecessarily
 The Governor has indicated that he wouldn't even think of calling special session unless he received assurances from members of the Legislature that they will pass what he considers necessary legislation.
 Of course there would be reason for having a leqislativa body if it's members simply acted as a rubber stamp for the executive and we feel that Uhe Governors attitude in this is wrong It IS hiS right to suggest program for the legislators WHICH they can adopt in full in part or not at all The elected representatives of the people have no rght o sian away their independence as members oi the legislative branch of government. Such procedure would result in a situation which is nothing less than a form of dictatorship.
 President Truman certainly did not ask for pledges from members of the Congress before calling the recent specal session of that body He did suggest leglsa- tive program only part of which was carried out
 If the Governor feels that there is a need Tor session he should poll the members of the Legislature and if their answers agree with his he should call q special session and suggest what he thinks IS proper nroaram From then on out the responsibility IS with the Ieeisat1lre That is the American form of gov arnn,ent and the American way, though it may not he as expedient as dictatorship sometimes.

BIOGRAPHICAL VACUUM
 Schuman was born i'll the Duchy of Luxembourg and spent most o1 his life under German rule. In fact, there is vacuum in ms career from 1914 to l9l8-apout which none of his friends talk and which is blank in all biographies when, it is suspected, he served m the German army. The Com munists taunted him with this charge when Schuman made his first appearance on the floor ot the Chamber as Premier-whereup- on no less a person than eX- Premier Edouard Herriot, now Pres ident of the Chamber, came to his defense.
 In Alsace- Lorraine, Herriot said, the Germans made hostages of loyal Frenchmen during the first World War, just as they did of Frenchmen during the second war Schuman's family. long residents of Lorraine, fought against the Prussians in the war of 1870 and lost. But from that date until 1919 Schuman lived under German rule. was taught in German schools, and speaks' German as well as he does French.
 One year after Lorraine obtained its independence, however, Schu- man was elected to the Chamber of Deputies from the new province and has been reelected ever since This means that he has been a member of the Chamber for a per iod similar to the terms of the older U. s. congressman, AdolpE Sabath of Illinois or Sol Bloom oi New York.
