futility. Irony blocks every
avenue Of escape or justification.
When he comes home a friend of
his fathers gives him enough
money for the funeral. Classified
as a psychoneurotic by his draft
board he prays valnly for insanity
to provide a curtain between him
and his deed.
His one ally. the priests rebel
lious niece. is no help. He uses
his grief for his dead mother as
an excuse for eccentricity, and
wishes pitifully that he had only
her death to grieve for. But the
final and bitterest irony is that
only the church, which he had
tried to kill. could give him release
from his crushing burden Of guilt.
Mr.. Brady has used every pos
sible means for keeping his story
at fever pitch. 1t moves with
a throbbing insistence to the point
where Martin realizes that his
mother had had her reward
in loving, that death had given
her a dignity which no pomp could
improve. Just why Mr.. Brady
chose to leave the cloud of mental
illness over Martin is not entirely
clear to this reader. Martins
classification as a psychoneurotic
would have added to his feelings
of inadequacy and insecurity, but
if he is not we'll then he is less
responsible. This seems a need
less addition of suspense to story
that is packed with it. Mr.. Brady's
style Is admirable, economic and
vivid, but he rather weakens the
effect of stream of consciousness
passages by giving them a rich
ness of metaphor and paradox
that Martin could never have
commanded.
Mr.. Brady's novel has a techni-
cal dash uncommon in a first at
tempt. But more than that, it is
as honest and brave as an author
of complete integrity could make
it. Because of its theme it will
be hotly debated. Mr.. Brady has
explored his theme with courage
and skill.

A Curiosity-Priekine
Portrait by Ham Bosso

THE GREEN ROOM
BY Hamilton Basso. doubleday
& Co.: $3.J
This Is a skillfully turned
urbane story of a lonely publisher,
a widower, who on a Riviera vaca-
tion pays his respects to one OF
his firms most priced authors, q
grande dame who writes brilliant
satires of American social life.
He finds her to be a capricious,
domineering old lady, much given
to drawing room scenes and bou-
doir tempests. The fact that he
falls in love with her niece dis
pleases Mrs. Leslie Porter no end
and the poor publisher is put
through her entire repertory OF
|mystifying and terrorist tactics
1t is a curiosity -pricking portrait
of an author who would rather
have been a femme fatale and a
critic of society who was born
on the wrong side of the tracks
For all its wit and felicitous
Iphrasing, the mood of the story
is autumnal. perhaps due to the
dispiritedness Of the publisher
and Mr.. Basso has handled his
material with more restraint than
it required. M. Meg.

mused the other day, Il thought
they were going to have me selling

typewriter, didn't know what a

I was"
With a little assistance from

out to be Virginius Dabney, the
biographer of Bishop Cannon, the
cub got along fine, and in a few
months had a column all his own.
After a while he came to Washing

the local bureau of time, and
three years ago took his job with
the Kiplinger Magazine.
What I'd like to do is take a
year of and write another book.
No, I havn't got a subject, but
could think of one fast if I had the
time. I might like to write about
John Pelham. He was 22-year-
old Confederate artillery officer
and the handsomest thing you
ever laid your eyes on. Wonder

He paused for question.

write another book about the Civil
War. Well, then, I won't"

Scott Hart Tells
About His Bockyord

Why are there so many books
about the Civil War? Every year
brings its full quota of facts and
fiction about the War of the
Brothers. We put the question the
other day to Scott Hart, author
of Eight April Days." an illumi-
mating novel of the last days of
the Confederate Army.
MI. Hart, a tall, droll man
known to his intimates as "Scoot, +"
was once a Washington news
paperman, now serves the Kip
linger Magazine as associate edi-
for. He said, Il don't really know.
I'll tell you one thing, though.
I'll never write another. The
only one I ever read was Stephen
Cranes The Red Badge of Cour-
age"
"This retreat practically took
place in my backyard. was born
in Farmville, Va, right on that
8O-mile stretch of road from Pet
ersburg to Appomatox. It's nat
ural setting for a retreat. It's
right out of Greek tragedy. So
dark and brooding with all those
black pines and those melancholy
streams"
Besides the atmosphere. Mr..
Hart absorbed many books about
the Civil War in his boyhood,
When he came to write Eight
April Days. in 1899 Che put
it aside because two charac-
tiers wouldn't behave. picked it up
again last year and simply cut out
the bothersome characters) all his
reading came back to him.
Author of a previous book about
coon and 'possum hunting, Mr..
Hart came to the literary life in
rather q roundabout way. In his
teens, he took over the manage
ment of his fathers movie house,
and also ran an orchestra. It was
during prohibition and things
were lively. Between times he
produced q few ballads which led
certain townspeople to suggest
that he should take up a more
respectable calling like literature.
He snorted at this, but before he
knew what was afoot. they had
apprenticed him to DR.. Douglas
Southall Freeman. biographer Of
Washington and Lee and at that

who number 200, will be fully
aware of this patriot-scholar' s
great contribution to Irish letters
and Irish pride.
The founder of the Gaelic
League, and Fires first President
DR.. Hyde was formidable scholar
as the exhibit attests. He wrote
many original poems and plays
but his greatest contribution was
the translation of the myths and
poetry of early Ireland.
In Contemporary Ireland.
The tradition of the poet in
politics is lively one in contem-
porary Ireland. Yeats and Lady
Gregory were both prime movers
in the Gaelic League. The leaders
of the Easter Rising Of 1916 were
predominantly intellectuals. whose
fighting spirit had been fed on
the ancient Irish legends. The
heroic band who seized the Dublin
post Office numbered Padraic
Pearse, the gallant schoolmaster
who wrote the immortal threnody
on the eve of his execution. James
Connolly, the great labor leader,
wrote numerous tracts and one
long summation of the crisis
called THE Axe at the Roots. "
Joseph Mary Plunkett was poet
of considerable note before he be-
came a martyr to Irish freedom.
Thomas MacDonough. another
great leader, was a critic of Eng
lish literature.
Writing men today are scat
tered through the government of
Ireland. Frank Gallagher, author
of that remarkable diary of a
revolutionary Days of Fear" is
a former director of the Govern
ment Information Bureau. and
now publicity officer of the ALL
Party Anti-Partition campaign.
Robert T. Farren, deputy director
of Radio Eirann, has written
"The Course of Irish Verse" and
"This Man Was Ireland" VAL
entine Iremonger. one of Ireland's S
leading young lyricists, is secretary
to Sean Mcbride. Irish Minister
of External Affairs. Another
young poet. Dennis Devlin. who
wrote "Lough Derg and Other
Poems," is a counselor in the De-
partment of External Affairs.
Here in Washington is Sean
Hayden, Third Secretary of the
Irish Legation, who wears in his
label the priced fainne (ring) OF
the competent Irish speaker. He
says modestly that he "scribbleS a
bit," has turned out poems and
short stories. He reports that
there is a score or more of other
Irish civil servants writing in
Irish, contributing to the maga-
zines and helping to keep the
wheels of Government turning.
