BY Robert Carver North.

A Dante's inferno (from 1910

Its eternal fires are fed with

The 35-year-old author, new
since the war, writes an arm
chair version of what could hap
pen to any state today. Pages OF
the dialogue have happened in
Spain. China, Indonesia and
Korea.
To some readers, the book will
be merely another story, this time
based on the existence, romance
and violence Of brown-skinned
peoples. But there is much more
between the lines.
There is the story Of the down.

Chess Notes
By DonoId H. Muqridqe

Sandrin was held to q draw by
Santasiere. Sandrin succeeded in
pulling ahead of Evans in the 9th,
when he won and Evans only
drew. Evans lost in the 11th and
fell behind Santasiere, In the
18th and final round Sandrin was
paired with Herbert Hickman Of
Pittsburgh and Evans with Le-
cornu, while Santasiere had to
play Bisguier. All three won, and
maintained their relative posi-
tions: but If Sandrin and Santa
siere had lost instead, a triple tie
for first between Bisguier, Evans,
and Sandrin would have resulted.
Bisguier's third loss was in the
7th round, to Edgar T. McCor-
mick of East Orange. N. j., who
finished in the 71a-41a bracket.
Conspicuously absent from the
Omaha Open were most of the
veteran masters of the country
and the strongest players of the
eastern seaboard. This was doubt
less a consequence of its geo.
graphical location, but in compen-
sation it gave an opportunity to
many players in the Middle West
who would be barred by an east
ern site. Five Omaha players and
six from Chicago finished with
scores of 500 or better. The Open
championship should move about
as much as possible: it is only in
the United States championship
proper, held every other year, that
pains should be taken to concen-
trate the real chess strength OF
the country.

MALLARME AS HAMLET
BY Wallace Fowlie. (Alicat, ST.
This is a critical study of
"Igitur," a prose work by the 10th
century French poet Stephane
Mallarme which remained unpub-
lished-apparently as the author
wished-during his lifetime. It
was discovered among his effects
in 1900 and not published until
1925. Students find in this drama
"the poets most profound meta
physical statement" It was writ
ten between 1867 and 1870 and is
held by Mr.. Fowlie to explain the
poets deepest personal crisis. "
Mallarme was, like Baudelaire,
who influenced him, a strange
character indeed. He used to look
in mirror daily for symptoms Of
the insanity he feared. Mallarme
said in a letter in 1867 that the
year just ending was unreliable,
adding that in the course of
it he. had died. Mr.. Fowlie has
written a careful analysis of
"Igitur" which makes it's obscure
mysticism at least less confusing.

CAJAL (1852-1
BY Dorothy F. Cannon. (Schu-
man; 81
In the past century Spain has
produced a single scientist Of ex-
traordinary stature.
He was a wayward youth, a
soldier. a musician, poet, short
story writer, a philosopher. an
artist, a physician-and perhaps
the foremost investigator of all
time of the mechanics Of the
human nervous system and brain.
His name was Santiago Ra-
mon Cajal. His name is familiar
to every medical student. His
discoveries constitute essentially
the cornerstone of present-day
neurology. But until now the ex-
tremely colorful man himself with
a range of interests which es-
sentially spanned human culture
has remained unknown. even in
his own country. Miss Cannon
has brought to life for the world
this son of a Spanish barber and
country doctor who made himself
one of the great scientists of the
Goth century.
It is difficult to imagine a man
more remote from the popular,
however silly. picture of the re-
search scientist. How he arose
in such a backwash Of European
culture as pre-revolutionary Spain
is reputed to have been, essen
TALLY out Of contact with his
major contemporaries constitutes
a mystery.
The fact remains that there
is a pre-Cajal and a post jal
neurology. and that the gulf be-
tween them is one Of the widest
in all the field Of medicine.

THE PILGRIMAGE OF
WESTERN MAN

THE PILGRIMAGE OF
WESTERN MAN
BY Stringfellow Barr. (Harcourt,
Brace & Co.; 81
The former president Of st.
Johns College, who now devotes
himself to the cause of world
government, has rewritten mod
ern history from the vantage
point Of one who sees it as a
faltering progress toward a COM
munity Of nations.
Mr.. Barr begins his study Of
Western man In the Middle Ages
when there was one world, a
carefully stratifled Christian
society in which every man had
his appointed place and was
animated by vision of the City
of God. With the rise of COM
merce and the advent of the Pro-
testant Reformation, this society
was splintered. and as kings en-
couraged merchants and systema-
tically lessened the powers Of
feudal mobiles. the old order was
shattered. Europe was thereafter
the scene Of endless strife over
religion, succession, boundaries
and colonial possessions. The
bloody pageant reached a hor-
rendous climax in the two World
Wars which have exploded In this
century.
In the 10Th century. Mr.. Barr
thinks. Western man reached the
Pilgrim City of Man, a golden age
Of progress and peace in which a
high standard of living was
brought about through the ma-
chine and science and democracy
achieved firm footing. World
War I shattered this world and
the second brought mankind
again to the abyss Of annihilation.
Now at the moment when Rus
STA (whom Mr.. Barr mentions
only f1eetingly, declaring that her
history Is in the mainstream Of
Asia, not Europe) and the United
States are engaged in the great
est armament race in history, the
author holds out the vision of a
united world governed along the
lines OF our own political structure
with sovereign states under one
head, as mans only hope. He
does not give a detailed blueprint.
only advances the idea.
Mr.. Bars survey, equally cul-
tural and historical, is marked by
f1uency and a mastery marshal-
ing of details. His method of re.
counting the events of an age an
seen through one of its dominate
Ing personalities such as Philip II
or Louis XIV gives his recital
point and flavor. And his pairing
OF dissimilar men working toward

Washington and Bolivar-is felic-
itous. How many converts to
world government he will make
through his presentation of life
on this shrinking, crowded

he has shown forcefully that there
is very little else we can do If tho

India. but their language had
changed under the influence of as

from these notifications of the

Polish Second Corps
Fought From Choice

AN ARMY IN EXILE
BY 1t. Gen. w. Anders. Mac
milan & Co., Ltd, LondonJ
Reviewed by
T. r. HENRY
This is the story of Poland's
exiled army in Africa and Europe
by its commanding general.
1t Is introduced with a forew6rd
by Field Marshal Alexander to
whose British forces its various
units were attached in the African
and Italian campaigns.
This Polish I'd Corps was a
highly selected army. It's officers
and men were all Polish patriots
who made their way across Europe
after the collapse of their native
land before Hitler's tanks in the
first three weeks of the war. They
fought because they wanted to
fight. not because they were chos-
en- to fight.
Consequently they were ideally
fitted for the toughest and most
perilous assignments. Most not
able was their fine progress as
part of the British forces up the
east coast of Italy.
This is only part Of the story
Of Poland's contributions to the
Allied cause. There is no mention
of the extraordinary services of
the Polish air squadrons based in
England. They contained some of
the most skillful fighters, greatest
airmen and greatest daredevils Of
the war. There Is also no men,
ton of the Polish armored forces
which fought with the British in
Normandy and helped close the
Falaise gap. These were outside
Gen. Anders' direct contact.
Throughout the war the Polish
soldiers fought as outstanding
patriots. It is one Of the sad
ironies Of history that their
sacrifices and heroism have been,
temporarily at least. in vain. They
still have no country to which
they can return.

Ireland's failure to grasp this
chance for sovereignty at a time
when her culture alone illuminat-

dividualism, the rebelly spirit that
is every Irishman's heritage from
the age of kings initiated against
a united front then and has kept
them scrapping among themselves

Writing history as it has been

and giving such scant attention
to historical events that the black
name Of Cromwell is mentioned
but once, Mr.. O'Faolain concen-
trates on the gifts Of the invaders
and their effect on the Irish ma
tional genius. He deplores their
lack of order, finds them fanciful
in literature, improvisers in archi-
lecture and opportunists in pol
itics.
Traces Church's Policy.
On the delicate ground Of church
and state, Mr.. O'Faolain, himself
a Catholic, treads discreetly but
firmly. He is eminently cool in
tracing the church's policy during
Ireland's historic and bloody
struggle for independence, which
incidentally, in many cases were
