Cool, Unconditional, calculating, Maj
Linebarger's work is a model of OBJ
jectivity in analysis Of a subjective
field. In wartime, he holds, the end
justifies the means, and If lives can
be saved and victory hastened by
talking the enemy into surrender
why scruple about moral intangibles?
There are some arguments-sound
ones, too-reminiscent of the Rem
aissance author of THE Prince;
but what saves Mai. Linebarger In
this regard is his sense of proper
ton In the use of his weapon. ("In
the hands of wrong persons, sys-
tematic psychological warfare is
capable Of being converted into a
drastic instrument of domestic con-
fusion. Warfare 'psychologically
waged' by a total state against q
free one can be an instrument both
vile and effective.")
Maj. Linebarger also views him
self and his colleagues with Just as
clear an eye. Psychological warfare
helped victory in the last war; he
does not claim 1t won it. CThe
propaganda boys in every army
and government are experts at
building up favorable cases, and
they would be unusual men, indeed
If they failed to work up a fine
account Of their own performance. y
A propaganda boy" himself, Maj
Linebarger turns in an account that
is fine, but on its merits.

Thomas Jefferson Would Not
Like WASHINGTON Today

Present day Washington would be
not at all to the liking Of Thomas
Jefferson, according to his biogra-
pher, Dumas Malone. Several years
Of intimate association" via re-
search and writing, have convinced
him that the author Of the Declara-
ton Of Independence would have
been much too shy for the rough
and tumble of contemporary politics
and far too much Of family man
to take any part in the ofiicial whirl
of the Capital.
HE probably would have been a
professor or scientist" said DR.
Malone, a genial gray haired, ruddy-
complexioned Southerner, as he
pondered the matter between sign
ing copies of Jefferson the Vir-
ginian," the first of his projected
four-volume biography at the Che
quire Bookshop in Alexandria the
other day.
DR.. Malone balances his convic-
ton that the founding fathers were
greater men than their counterparts
of today, with the knowledge that
their times were simpler.

American Biography and onetime
director of the Harvard University
Press, Mr.. Malone now teaches

ideal era. He sees, in this remi-
niscent book, the artiicialities and
posturings of the young intellectuals
in the prohibition decade. He was
one of them-the boy publisher who
founded Covici, Friede; who took
whirl at backing some Inflated
theatrical and muiscal ventures, in
Guiding the composer George An
theil's fantastic Ballet Mecanique. "
I'VE were" he comedies, living in
a cheap and shoddy world, in which
the desperate search for pleasure
was mistaken for pleasure itself" "
And yet he found much that was
delightful in those years. And he
writes pleasantly of his experiences
and of such writers as ONeill, An
derson, DRESSER and Steinbeck.

Psychological Warfare Expert Tells
How Words Can Help to Speed Victory
PSYCHOLOGICAL WARFARE
BY Paul NJ A. Lnebarger. (ntany Journal Press $500
Reviewed by FLETCHER r. IsBE1L.

In 1916, shortly after his return
TO civilian life, an owl executive
happened to read an account of the
Creel Committee, the United States
propaganda organization in World
War I. His interest was avid. GOOD
Lord" he said, these people made
the same mistakes we made!"
There is no need to repeat these
errors again in another war. The
high command has only to pay
some attention to Maj. Linebarger's S
book and get some one who can
understand its basic principles and
translate them into action. The
precepts are simple; their employ
ment requires only imagination and
common sense; but the scarcity of
these commodities was illustrated in
1914, when we broadcast diligently
to foreign areas having no radio
sets and dropped leaflets to litter
ates.
Maj. Linebarger recognizes that
propaganda is the planned use of
any form of communication designed
to affect the minds and emotions of
a given group. He thus pierces to
the core Of the matter: It's efficacy
is measured by its effect on the re-
ceiver, not by the way it tickles the
fancy of the user. Thereafter, point
by point, he traces the correct prep
aration Of propaganda. There are
excellent illustrations of a number
of actual war items, including one
hilariously obscene.

The straight Buck Rogers motif

Conklin.
A dull wartime Job with the OSS

man. Public Affairs Press; ST.
Reviewed by
ROBERT K. WALSH.

In form that saves the layman
from "legalese," this is a faithful
rearrangement of the brief sub
mitted by the Justice Department
early this year to the Supreme
Court in the racial restrictive cove
nant cases.
The department, in its friend-of
the-court presentation, opposed such
covenants. The book, of course,
gives arguments only on one side
OF the cases which the Supreme
Court now has under advisement.
This publication should broaden
public understanding of legal as well
as social considerations involved. It
also Is valuable because it traces the
history Of covenants and the many
court moves that have finally
brought the basic issue toward a
final judgment.
