Yeats Revealed
As Searching
|ForFuNLife
THE MAN AND THE

En- 1o. 441G VN<AN <A4ND 431E
MASKS
BY Richard Gilman. (Macmil-
lam: $5.)
This scrupulous, sympathetic study
of William Butler Yeats is based on
the thesis that the great Irish poet
was painfully divided personality
whose whole life was spent in search
for Wilderness as an individual and
for simplicity in poetic expression.
That he succeeds artistically is at
tested in the beautiful lyrics and
plays which constantly gained in
vigor and directness. His relations
with other men, however, Frank
O'Connor has described as "a cir
cuitous and brilliant strategy per-
forming complicated maneuvers
about noneXistent armies" The
author sums it up well when he
compares Yeats to "a man who car
ries a heavy burden on his back and
tries to dress so that 1t will not
show"
The paralyzing uncertainty and
shyness which assailed the young
poet had its roots in his conflict
with his brilliant father, whose art
Yeats tried unsuccessfully to emu
late. 1t was fostered by his passion
| for Maud Come, "the most beauti-
full woman in the world" whom he
loved hopelessly and to whom he
remained faithful in his fashion for
Is years For love of her he plunged
into the Irish, Nationalist movement
and spearheaded the magnificent
Celtic literary renaissance. During
this time his poetry, with its lavish
use of symbolism, reflected his cease
less fashioning of masks to wear be-
fore the world.
His difference conquered in his
later years, he became a command
ing orator and Senator of the
Irish Free State.
Yeats lifelong preoccupation with
occultism and magic, his association
with such groups as the Theoso-
phists and the Hermetic Students of
the Golden Dawn, make Mr.. ELL
mans self-set task of following "the
intricacies of Yeats psychological
convolutions extremely difficult. He
has had the aid of $4,000 unpub-
lished manuscripts shown him by
Mrs. Yeats while he was in Ireland
during the war with the OSS.
Despite its readable style and clear
exposition, yeats the Man and the
Mask" is by no means popular biog-
raphy. 1t is more the biography of
an intellect, telling nothing of
Yeats appearance or his daily life.
So it will perhaps be better appre-
ciated as a manual for the poetry
of the man than as a picture of him.

I. B. STAMP MONEY
USED TO PURCHASE
X RAY MACHINE

Many persons question the actual
disbursement of the money that is
used to purchase the tuberculosis
stamps each year and the following
story might be OF interest to those
of Alaska who have recently been
X-rayed in the mass T. B. survey.
The X-ray machine used in
the survey was one of the many
equipment articles purchased with
the stamp money to further the iso-
lation of the disease of tuberculosis.
The money is also used in the
many clinics throughout the Terri
tory and the United States 1t also
provides state owned sanatoriums
with operating expenses and pays
for the men, women and children
with medical care who are unable
to pay for the treatments so neces-
sary to comtat this pulmonary all
ment.

denied discriminating against Amer

surplus war supplies.
Jesse Larson, War Assets Admin

WAA extended foreign countries
more liberal credit than domestic

Gen. Hershey said in answer to
questioning that some of his ad-
visors believe the younger men
should be called first because fewer
of them have ties, but he said he
had no intention of taking men
from any age group who should be

taking the older men first is that
they will be lost to the draft as

wild Enthusiasm Gone.
The youngsters, a large proportion
OF them teen-agers, seemed subdued
yesterday, lacking the wild enthu-
siasm with which they launched
their postscript convention at the
Broadwood Hotel Sunday night. Per-
haps it was fatigue, or perhaps
they felt little lost in the
great hall, which they only partially
filled. Once or twice, Mr.. Jones had
trouble gaveling the delegates to
order. His gavel was a teaspoon.
And even at the most successful

he had somebody who spoke Span

Senator Johnston, Democrat, Of
South Carolina, who is blocking a
sales tax, meanwhile was planning
to move for q doubling of the s12,-
1000 Federal payment toward Dis
trict expenses, as a means of financ-
ing increased District costs. He said
he plans to offer this as substitute
for the House-passed bill, now
awaiting action by the Senate, call
ing for a 2 per cent District retail
sales tax, combined with a high
bracket individual income levy.
If this issue comes before the SEN
ate, Senator Cain will fight for en-
actment of the sales tax bill as it
passed the House.
Dirksen Favors Loan.
Arguments were offered that, even
if District liquor taxes were doubled
and heavy increase were ordered
in the city's property taxes, the
District still would have a deficit
next year.
With the adoption of pay raises
fo. the great body of District en-
ployes, not yet granted increases,
financial aides said, the size of the
prospective deficit would go much
higher.
Chairman Dirksen of the House
District Committee is considering a
Treasury loan as a stop-gap plan
to finance city pay raises, should the
pending revenue bill fail.
Would Postponue Taxes.
Tax students warned this merely
would postpone the day of added
District taxes to the next year-a
thought Mr.. Dirksen, too, had in
mind.
One city official shaped up the
situation this way: The District
began the new fiscal year. last July
with a shortage of s1,600,000, be-
cause that amount of permanent
charges from 194S was carried over
to this fiscal year.
And since more than $5,000,000
this year will be financed out of sale
of wartime securities, the last of
this resource, the city really starts
this fiscal year with about 100000
to be made up.
A city pay raise is estimated to
cost the District about $6,000,000.
