THE SURE THING
BY Merle Miller. (William Sloane
Associates; s3J
Early in 1948, Mr.. Miller's
novel THAT Winter" a story of
the reurn IF three soldiers to
bewildering postwar worlo, gained
him general recognition as a new
writer of unusual discernment.
His new novel, story of the cur
rent scene in Washington, is much
more ambitious, with a large cast
of characters and careful de-
velopment.
1.-The Sure Thing" deals with
the plight of liberals in the Gov
ernment who have lost any SYM
pathy they may have had for
communism, but are under suspi-
cion and scrutiny because of the
Red scare and pressure from Con-
gress to weed out all doubtful
Federal workers. The book was
a disappointment to at least one
admirer of That Winter" who has
expected a lot from Mr.. Miller, but
it is well worth reading just the
same and naturally will be of
particular interest to Washingto-
mans.
1t is chiefly the story of Brad
Douglas. an economist in the
State Department. He was the
typical independent liberal Of
today. . Brad had no illusions
about the Russians, and he felt
only contempt for those whose
hearts bled for excesses in

It is hard to be interested in the
regeneration of mans soul If you

anything wrong with his soul in
the first place.
In 1.-THE Right People" McReady
Huston gives us the revival OF the
soul of Claymore Gavin, who,
compared with most modern
heroes, seems about as normal
and decent as a man can be given
an insufferable wife, few million

distrust of people who have such
money. AS matter of fact, Clay
more Gavin seems to be a par
ticularly fine man, and yet this is
the man, the author tells us, who
must find new set Of values to
adjust to tragedy. Up until these
new values came along we had the
feeling he was progressing re-
markably we'll, and. actually as it
turns out, the new values don't
help Gavin adjust to anything.
they simply force him to adjust
to them. The result of all this
adjustment is that Gavin gives up
his Job and dedicates his life to
giving away his own and his
friends money. All this might be
alrigi1t if our hero had ever even
bordered on the degenerate or
disagreeahle, but since he was
good, charming sand upright
throughout the early part Of the
novel any logical development OF

good reading until the author

of its self important staff. But
while he does all this amusingly
and sharply, he never loses sight
of the fact that he has a serious
purpose in telling the story.
The scene of his ethical comedy
is Present-Day, newsweekly

significantly and with an air OF
total conviction. Required to be
irrefutable in print. at handsome
salaries it's writer's are prey to un-
certainty and even guilt when
they are away from their type

None OF these doubts assail the
editor, Edward Masterson, a rich
mans son rehabilitated from q
youthful radicalism, humorless
and trif1e self-righteous. His
belief in the rightness of the mag
azines policy, which is against
sin, Soviets and psychoanalysis,
fires it's pages, and the crisis comes
when he fires a man who submits
material which he does not be-
heve in himself.
The question then is, does an
employe have a right to call his
soul his own if he gives full meas
ure of the talent for which he has
been hired. Mr.. Brooks handles
the whole thing with an eminent
charity, never letting PERSONAL
ties get In the way of the issue
Not that he has been pompous
about it. His tight little tale is
full of sparkle. One passage in
which he describes a writer's
hours-long postponement of writ
ing is just about perfect. So is his
sardonic study of the bright
young man of the staff. His only
failure is with his woman charac-
tiers. The girl researchers use q
painfully self-conscious pattel
which sounds excessive even for
Manhattan. But this is a small
flaw in an admirable book which
presents and which examines a
serious question with notable
clarity and lightness.

CITIES OF THE DEEP
BY Edward Lyons. (Appleton-
Century-Crotts;: $780,
This is an unabashed try at the
great American novel. and it Is
the best we have had in years.
Edward Lyons has a genuine and
vital talent, a wealth Of lore, an
uninhibited love of words, OF
strong scenes and gusty char
acters. He tells a story tempestu-
ously with enormous drive and
power. Typically American, he is
romantic in approach, realistic
in details; and he tells Of material
wealth amid spiritual poverty. He
can, in short, write, and let us
hope that he will continue to do
so, although with more point and
less length than he has displayed
in this first attempt.
For his debut, Mr.. Lyons has
chosen the great American sue
cess story, the Horatio Alger
theme. He has reworked it with
considerable violence, both physi-
cal and emotional, and he hasn't
exactly avoided melodrama, either.
Hurricanes, brawls and dramatic
disclosures strew the path of Kin
Startling, poor Southern boy who
batters his way to wealth and
power as a teen-age wolf of pre-
crash Wall Street. Son of a fierce,
proud mother and a roaming
father whom he never sees, Kin
leaves his native, sea-washed
Waccamaw after seducing the
towns aristocratic belle, half kill
ing the school master and sur
viving an epic wind. He sets out
for Wall Street with the avowed
purpose of making a million dol
lars. Suffering fearful hardships
and privation. he meets a Won
derful old tramp named Doolittle,
the first of a series of colorful
old men who aid the young saw
age, and who are drawn with
Dickensian relish by the author.

stockholders, dealing sharply and
ruth!essly. stamping on his bet

Equally rampageous in his emo
tional life, he harries his common
law wife, a gentle, lettered girl
who educates his eager mind, but
accuses him of trying to line his

vincingly done-the readers SYM
|pathy has run out. Toward the
end it appears that Mr.. Lyons can
not bear to tear himself away
from such a walloping story and
such vivid characters.
But this is, after all, a first
novel, and so much of 1t is good
offering so much richness. life and
shee-. story, that it is perhaps un-
grateful to complain that there is
too much of it.
