The manager stared. 'Zui!'' he said. .
The manager, now in a state of blind
alteration, fell in with Trant's requests.
They were simple. He merely wanted to
interview the three suspects individually
in Lady Mavis' chalet While the assistant
manager went off to arrange this, Trant
stationed the night bus boy in Mavis' bath
room with instructions to emerge if he heard
the foreign voice he had heard the night
before. Once he was at his post, Trant and
his assistant moved into Lady Mavis' bed
room. Trant sat down, lit a cigarette and
offered one to Jimmie.
"Mr. Howard's coming first, Jimmie.
When he arrives, want you to wait in the
living room in case I need help"
Very well, SIR
RANTS gray eyes were pensive. Jimmie,
you've had plenty of experience with rich
women on Swiss vacations. You can help
me on point of psychology. A lot of them
throw their bonnets over the Alps, don't
they?"
Jimmie ginned. They're apt to be in a
holiday mood, sir"
Exactly. But Lady Mavis was different
That's the point about her. She vamped like
Salome but when the time came to crash
through, it's my hunch she went colder than
Pilgrim mother"
That's howI'd sum her up, SIR

Saturday Review Blasts Award
For Pound Poetry as Degrading

The Saturday Review of Litera-
ture this week terms the Bollin-
gen-Library of Congress Poetry
Award to Ezra Pound one that
degraded American poetry and
insulted her dead"
Both editorially and through an
article by Robert Hillyer, Pulitzer
Prize winning president of Poetry
Society of America. the magazine
questions both the award and the
fellows of the Library of Congress
in American Letters who made
the selection last February.
DR.. Luther Evans, librarian OF
Congress. said last night he would
write a formal reply to the
charges. DR.. Evans said he per-
sonally believed Pounds prize
winning "Pisan Cantos" were "un-
worthy of any such award, but as
a Government bureaucrat I be-
lieve it would be evil for a bu-
reaucrat to overrule the judgment
Of scholarly people"
Pound, who is under indictment
for treason on grounds he served
the enemy by propaganda activi-
ties against the United States, is
now in St. Elizabeths Hospital.

Paul Green. Pulitzer Prize-win-

dissenting judges. is quoted by the
magazine as saying:

tails Of the 'Pisan Cantos s'-sus-
pecttng they are all tail and no
head am unable TO interpret
them for the reading public. The
rawlings in Pounds volume are as
unintelligible to me as was the
voting of the same eight gifted
men who declared they were
good"
DR.. Evans said he had an agree
ment with the Bollingen Founda-
ton that the Library fellows would
make the choice. He pointed out,
however. that he was responsible
for seeing the fellows were COM
petent to make a decision. He
said he planned to investigate

OF $1,000 TO Pound on grounds
that the poetry itself is full OF
'profane absurdities. that the
judges were overloaded with fol-
lowers OF the Pound-T. S. Eliot
school of estheticism and that
the poems are a vehicle of con-
tempt for America.
Even the most careless" judges.
Mr.. Hillyer insists. cannot have
missed the fearful elegy on Mus
solini and his mistress in the
"Pisan Cantos." Mr.. Hillyer also
interprets these lines:
from their seats the blond
bastards and cast EN-.
the yidd is stimulant.'
and the goyim are cattle
in gti proportion and go to
saleable slaughter
with the maximum OF docility. "
Mr.. Hillyer says the first line is
an ironic traveSty on American
sentiments toward the Nazis, and
the last three lines tell us that
the Jews stimulate wars in order
to make money. while the stupid
Christians (under the contemp-
tuous term of goyim) go out to
fight and are slaughtered"

Z Policemen Cleared
In Failure TO Appear
As Trial Witnesses

Two policemen accused Of fail
ing to appear in court as witnesses
: In q case described as Iron clad"
ut one time by the Corporation
Counsers Office were cleared by a
Police Trial Board yesterday.
The policemen, Detective Sergt.
James Roche and Bvt. Angelo
Bonaccorsy. denied they were abb
sent from court when they testi-
fed at the trial board Friday
They said they appeared in court
at $40 am. and remained until
2:14 pm.
The Iron clad" case against
Gerald Barnes, 80, a taxicab
driver, was dismissed for want
of prosecution" on May IL in
Municipal Court. Mr. Barnes had
Z been charged with selling whiskey
without license.
The two policemen were charged
before the trial board with con-
duct prejudicial to the reputation
and good order of the Police De-
partment and with "absenting
themselves" from Municipal Court
without notifying the clerk OF
court or the police liaison officers.
Were Vice Squad Members.
Detective Sergt. Roche and Pvt.
Bonaccorsy were members of the
vice squad on January IA when
they arrested MIR. Barnes. The
arrest occurred a few minutes
after the still unsolved beating Of
another cab driver, James Rowell,
ut Thomas Circle.
Police Chief Robert j. Barrett
ut that time transferred the pair
from the vice squad and said he
was sure they were involved In
the Roweu beating but couldn't
prove 1t.
At the trial board, Assistant
Corporation Counsel Philip N
Brophy, who was assigned to
prosecute the Barnes case, testi-
fed the two policemen did not
answer when called in court. He
said he did not see them at any
time. When the defense moved
for dismissal for want Of prose-
cution, he made no objection and
the case was dropped.
Checked I'm and Out.
Sergt. Roche and Pvt. Bonnac-
corsy were backed in their story
by the police liaison officers who
said they had checked In and out
as they had testified. The. po-
licemen said they left the build
ing for about 40 minutes at one
time after being told there would
be q delay in calling the Barnes
case.
When they returned to the
courtroom, Charles Driscoll, clerk
to Judge George d. Nelson. told
them the case had been dismissed,
they testified.
Sitting on the trial board were
Inspector William Cunningham
chairman; Capt. Basil McAllister
No. 10 precinct. and Capt. Irwin
limbaugh, No. 9 precinct.

One Of the happier men around
here right now Is Make Lowe. Mr..
Lowe is the man who arranges for
the Shoreham Blue Room enter
ta1nment. He is the one who stuck
his neck out toavary the usual rou-
tine there by bringing in Les Com
pagnons de la ChanSon. He didn't
stick it out very far, as any one who
had seen the singers would have
told him, but he is glad to have
it back in. The Nine Frenchmen
are as unqualified a success and
provide as diverting entertainment
as the town ever has seen.
This is not merely one mans
opinion, either. 1t seems like only
yesterday, perhaps because it was,
that Jay Carmody was waxing &C.
static about how amusingly these
compagnons treat their chansons.
Les Compagnons are nine French

son, it is magnifique. Cest vrai,
