EARL WARREN
BY Irving Stone


The similarity in the careers OF
the two men on the Republican
ticket in this years election is the
most vivid impression left by Mr.
Stones biography of Gov. Warren
I Gov. Dewey's early successes al

are well known because he achieved
them in New York City, on which
the national spotlight always shines
Alameda County, Calf, is such 6

Warren also was making a name
for himself among Californians as q
fearless prosecutor.
In one respect, Gov. Warren's
climb to the top on the West Coast
has been more remarkable than Gov
Deweys, in that the vice presidential
nominee has developed strong nom
partisan following in his State.
Mr.. Stone has painted a glowing
picture of Earl Warren's ability and
courage in public office, and the
California Governors record would
seem to justify it. No stronger evil
dence of its accuracy could be offered
than the vote in the 1916 California
primary, when the Democrats as
we'll as the Republicans nominated
him for second terms as Governor
That phenomenon was made possible
by California's unique election law
which permits candidates to file in
more than one party primary in
the same election. Nevertheless, Mr.
Warren was the first Californian tc

but on such rare occasions as this,
when one finds artistic integrity in
a novel, there is a stunning re-
awakening of taste.
Mr.. Maxwell's story is a simple
one-the Potter family comes to
visit the King family on the invi-
tation of Austin King. who does
not consult his wife Martha. Mar
tha King resents the visit largely
because she has been given no
choice about it, and Austin King
is torn between duty to his wife
and to his guests who are. Incl
dentally, cousins. The situation is
complicated by Nora Potter, the
dissatisfied, idealistic daughter, who
falls in love with Austin King and
makes no secret of it.
Mr.. Maxwell takes this story and
with a consummate skill develops
each character, each relationship
until he has produced novel of
unusual discernment and sensi-
tivity.
The action takes place in small
Middle West town in the summer of
1912. The leisurely pace of the mar
rative is well suited to recreating
the quiet and peace of Elm street
on a summer night when an occa-
sional cry of Ready or not you shall
be caught" is the only sound that
intrudes itself into the privacy of
Victorian porches.
Mr.. Maxwell has recaptured that
atmosphere and has unobtrusively
made it understandable both to
those who have wondered about it
and those who experienced it.
There is human philosophy and
insight in William MaXwells work
which elevates and distinguishes it.
Time Will Darken 1t" ignores the
current trend and takes a place
among the reflective, sensitive novels
that stand on their ability to show
life's general significance rather
than its eccentricities.

she throws the whole corrupt busi-
ness into bold relief by juxtaposing
it with accounts of the heartbreak-
ing, grubbing life of the small

drought and water pirates to main

This is the story of Katya, the

tries to bring up her son in the

end to the landowners whom her
husband represents. Edward, the
estranged husband, loves the val

for power. The son finally de-
nounces his father and works for
the Shasta Dam reclamation prof.
ect, which his father has been
