Womon.s Progress
Through 50 Years
OfAmericun Life

WOMEN ARE HERE TO STAY
BY Agnes Rogers. Harper &
Bros; So
Here is wonderful picture
album, with lively commentary.
tracing the progress of the ladies
into their own during the last
half century of American life.
From Annette Kellerman to Gypsy
Rose Lee. from the divided skirt
to the two-piece bathing suit,
from the Sargent portrait to the
cold cream ad. from the sweat
shop to the executives desk, from
the kitchen to the cockpit-there
are any number Of milestones to
measure her advance. This
emancipation, as Mrs. Rogers,
assembler of II Remember Dis
tinctly," points out. has been &C
companied by proportionate de-
mands and conflicts. She is ex-
pected to be an efficient and
charming housewife who is also a
citizen Of the world. and wife, q
mother who guides but does not
domineer. This is social history
at its sprightliest. M. Meg.
Evening star., 1949-09-04

town Of Morgana. Miss. is
in atmosphere and laden
with symbolism.
Her characters are far from uni
versal types. In fact. some of them
would seem eligible for citizenship
in Never-Never Land. What gives
her stories their realism Is the
brilliant, often comic, details with
which she invests her descriptions
of every kind of community ac-
tivity in this sun-drenched town.
She re-creates the hectic prepara-
ton for a piano recital, the
bustling. off1cious atmosphere Of
a country funeral with absolute
mastery. Her symbolism. how
ever, Is often obscure and only
occasionally is she explicit. as
when she describes a half-mad
old piano teacher and her star
pupil as human beings terribly
at large, roaming on the face Of
the earth"
In such q society as Morgana's,
it Is hard to tag the misfits, for
individual eccentricity is boldly
cultivated and publicly treasured.
But the central figures in the
loosely linked sketches are all
troubled by some restlessness Of
craving. King Mclean, who visits
his wife. Miss Snowdie, only at
rare intervals, wanders In and out
Of the 40-year chronicle. but time
goes like a dream no matter how
hard you run"
Miss Welty's art is of the arbi-
trary variety and almost COM
pletely visual. She creates pic
lures Of extraordinary vividness
and intensity, and then lets them
fade away, leaving you to fathom
their meaning. But she is 50
skillful that while her characters
are spellbound, her readers may
be, too.

a japanese mistress. But
when we are asked to believe
that he would tell the whole story
to an American reporter, our
credulity is strained. When.
further. he marries the reporters
cousin (for whom the American
is carrying an uncousinly torch)
and the three Of them hold long
conversations about the matter,
occasionally calling in the jap
anese rival, an emancipated career
girl, then not only belief but in
terest slackens .almost to the
disappearing point. These dis
cussions-and the coming Anglo
American talks can hardly be more
unimpassioned-are briefly inter-
rupted by the war and terminated
only by Merion's death in an air
crash. The survivors 60 on talking
and, in fact. every one talks so
much it is virtually impossible for
anything to happen.
Mr.. Wynd, who has spent a
good deal of time in Japan, gives
some interesting sidelights on life
in that country. But he has
robbed his book of point or flavor
by making the British sangfroid
seem more like creeping paralysis
Evening star., 1949-09-04

Washington author, thousands Of
ready readers undoubtedly will
still make the most Of an extraor-
binary, exciting book. The story
is Of spies and stratagems. man
hunts, courage, suffering. sus-
pense and all the ingredients Of
adventure. Yet it treats of treason
with a new twist and 1t should
inspire timely thought in a mod
ern world where the word treason
is so glibly uttered and its real
meaning so muddled.
A well-publicized mystery grew
up several months ago when the
Christophers-a Catholic group
striving to encourage manuscripts
written in accord with Christian
principles-gave its first award to
Mr.. Howe. He is q Washington
architect, a Protestant, and in
wartime was with the intelligence
section Of the 7th Army.
The story-a fictionalized &C
count Of an actual incident-tells
of three German prisoners of wal
who volunteer to 60 back behind
the German lines as spies for the
American Army.
One is impelled by hope OF
riches and a possible high spot In
a postwar Communist regime

of the local scene is meticulous
and apt. Here, too, the story
reaches its crucial point with
Gregory's affair with his former
secretary, a generous, intelligent
warm-hearted girl. But this
proves no answer for either OF
them and John resumes his
journeying. Finally. in strike
bound Detroit he begins to feel
the STRINGS of some kinship with
the rest OF humanity and with this
new knowledge seeks out his wife,
rather Enthusiastically failing to
take into account the strain that
bereavement and his absence may
have taken of her.
Mrs. Janeway's writing Is fine
and her craftsmanship Is beyond
reproach. But as has been indi-
Gated, the impact is weakened be-
cause, while we see the conse-
ouences of Gregory's flaw. we
never know exactly what it IS.
Moreover. while he is represented
as a victim of the sickness Of the
times, Mrs. Janeway gives only a
sketchy diagnosis of that malady.
Whatever infects Johns soul is
certainly contagious. but he seems
often more a self-pitying blum
derer than q figure Of tragedy.

confidence in his treatment OF
atomic energy.
Two controversial issues to
which Mr.. Wilson devotes quite
a bit of deserved space are: Should
the physicist take his talent into
the more lucrative field Of indus
trial research? Who should ad-
minister the future Of the atom?
One wonders just how par
enthetical are Mr.. Wilson's chap
ters which tell the story OF a
Senator and q well-heeled politi-
clan who try to bribe a physicist
into heading a still uniformed
atomic energy commission and
running it their way.
Despite the wealth Of technical
information on nuclear physics,
the author adheres to the tue
novel form, threading days at the
lab around nights at home and
subsequent domestic dialogue.
The Phi. D. man, often thought
of as a cold, erudite individual

behind the narrative and assess
the proper psychological values in
this general, If transitory. pre-
occupation with sorcery.
The result is not a turgid treat
ment, but. rather. q dialogue
studded account that has quail
tiles of q suspense filled novel.
There is, too, a moral still ap-
plicable: When the devotion to
orthodoxy reaches the excess Of
fanatical mass typnosis-in any
combination of time and place
death can become the price Of q
minute departure or q private
idiosyncracy.
Evening star., 1949-09-04

The second operates largely for
love of risk. The third is q pre-
war Berlin medical student with
faith in an ideal and q determine
ton to help rid his country and
the world of NaZiism. The plot
moves principally with his journey
from the time early In 1915 that
he parachutes from an American
plane In Southern Germany until
five days later he starts to swim
the Rhine at Manneheim, near
Heidelberg. 10 report again to 7th
Army Intelligence.
The expertly detailed and OBJ
viously authentic narrative Of that
journey and of the condition of
the German people on the verge
Of defeat, is as gripping as any
thing Of its kind that has come out
Of the war.
1t Is so compelling that 1t over
shadows the main character him
self. It dominates but effectively
points up his struggle in trying
to reconcile genuine loyalty and
love for his own people with his
treason" that can end only in
disgrace and death If he loses and
q lifetime Of silence If he sue

Marcus Buch Missed
A Greet Chance

THE DREAM GATE
BY Marcus Bach. (BobbS, Mer-
riH Co.; s3J
Marcus Bach, author Of two
books of excellent repute. They
Have Found Faith" and Report
to Protestants." is said to be one
of the few outsiders ever to be
admitted to q Hutterite COM
mune. Unfortunately. he has
seen fit to cast his findings on
this pious and stubborn little
four-century- old sect in the form
of a novel and to tell an almost
painfully simple story through the
eyes of a 10-year -old Hutterian
boy sorely troubled by his first
glimpse of the world outside.
An investigation of this limited
but enduring communistic expert
ment wherein all duties are as
signed, all profits are shared, and
personal possessions, luxuries and
amusements strictly prohibited, Is
certainly material Of the most
timely nature. The Hutterites'
refusal to be absorbed into Amer
lea, their rigid exclusion Of all
outside influences beyond an oc-
casional mechanical contrivance
is intrinsically fascinating. But
Mr.. Bach's characters are wooden.
their dialogue clumsily contrived
50 that they are eternally ser
raonizing on their way Of life to
an errant brother. It Is, in short,
clearly one Of those cases where
truth, being obviously 50 much
stranger than fiction. should be
reported in factual form to ap-
pear convincing.
