Garter Snake Scares Big Gorilla

CHICAGO, (P-Bushman, the gorilla who fears no man, escaped from his cage yesterday. A little garter snake finally chased him back inside.
 The glowering barrel-chested, 55O-pound ape roamed through a corridor and monkey house kitch- en for more than two hours.
 A dozen Lincoln Park police men armed with rifles and shot guns stood guard inside the mon- key house as keepers tried to coax Bushman back to his cage.
 Edgar Robinson, who raised bushman from infancy, tried to lead him back to the cage, but the animal bit his arm.
 Finally keepers pushed the two- foot garter snake under the kitch- en door leading to the corridor.
 Bushman couldn't take it. He hurried into his cage.

Judge Asks Florida
 California To Drop Out Of Union

CHICAGO, (P) - A Chicago judge suggested Wednesday that California and Florida withdraw from the Union to make way for Alaska and Hawaii.
 Judge Rudolph Desort of supe- rior court was irked at court or ders in conflict with his own.
 "There have been number of occasions when court of Califor- mia have refused to recognize de- crees and orders of Illinois courts, ignoring an agreement among states to respect laws of other states" he said.
 Some courts in Florida like wise have ignored rulings of this court. They seem to be the only states which do not respect laws Ct a sister state.
 ''It seems to me they would drop out of the Union and permit Alaska and Hawaii to take their places"
 A divorce case before Judge DeSort involved a conflict with California. He did not cite a spe- cific instance of disagreement with Florida court.

World Series Highlights
Thursday. October 5. 1850


 NEW YORK, (P) - This isn't Brooklyn, that's for sure. The bleacherites didn't start to form their line in front of the Yankee Stadium until yesterday morning. And at that there only were two richards. The gendarmes chased the pair, but told them their spot at the head of the line would be reserved in the early evening.
 Many of the writers were con- SOling the Phillies on their moral victory in holding the Tanks to three runs in two 9ames-SOme- thing like North Carolina keeping NOtre Dame to a l4-7 victory last Saturday. But catcher Ken Silver Stri summed it up best.
 "What'S the difference whether it's one run or 10 runs? We got beat, didn't we?"
 What happened to all the talk about the rabbit ball. The theory is beginning to go around that maybe the pitching inboth leagues has been SO gosh awful that the hitters have been looking good even if they normally had no power. Something better happen too, or the talks going to get

Incidentally, Bill Dickey, the Yankee coach, said that Robin Roberts, the young Phillie hurler, who lost yesterdays 2-1, 10-inn- ing affair, is the best young right handler in either league. Dizzy Dean, no slouch in his day i nthe big time, agreed.

The odds on the Tanks have jumped to 1-l5. Only one team in the history of the series has re- bounded after losing the first two games-the Giants did it in 1921 and the Pirates came from behind a 3-l deficit once.

A. A. Milne has not let his af-

that there is still plenty of orig

further set apart from his con-

of the 13 tales has a definite form,
an element of suspense and a
deftly turned ending. "The Three

BEYOND DEFEAT

AS6 - S4N1 LII
BY Hans Werner Richter. (G. P
Putnam'S Sons, $3.J
Americans have often beer
scored for their failure to detect
the difference between Nazi and
"a German particularly when their
myopia favors the Hitlerites. Nc
one has made the point more
vividly or with more dramatic
force than Hans Werner Richter
in this novel of Nazi terror in an
American prison camp.
Beyond Defeat" has had a
striking success in Europe, which
is not surprising. Apart from its
message, it is good fiction in the
Hemingway manner-terse, tough
disillusioned, profane. The propa-
ganda is tightly woven into the
narrative. Its only fault, and this
is perhaps inevitable, is the self
pity which overlays the last halt
of the story.
Antl-NaZl SympathlZer.
The action begins at Casino
where an under-equipped, ill-fed
anti-tank platoon is caught be-
tween American guns ahead of
them and the threat of Nazi
gallows, should they surrender, in
back of them. They finally sur
render. Guhler. their unofficial
leader. reveals his anti-Nazi SYM
pathies to his American captors,
but refuses to divulge military in
formation on the grounds it would
be a betrayal of his comrades still
on the line. A Socialist and an
idealist. he sees the Nazi problem
as German problem. He dreams
OF America as a never-never land.
where even behind barbed wire
a man can have personal free
dom.
But when he and his friends
arrive at the prison camp, they
find that it is in the iron grip of
a die-hard core of Nazis who have
set up a Gestapo. a court-martial
system and all the refinements of
Ia concentration camp. These
atrocities are carried out under
the eyes of the Americans. to
whom, Guhler remarks bitterly
All Germans are Nazis." Only
when the Polish prisoners are
menaced do the authorities take
a hand. The hair-raising events
confirm Guhler's convictions that
only the Germans themselves can
settle with the Nazis.
Perhaps Beyond Defeat" is
meant in its larger sense to SYM
bolize an indictment of our occu-
patton of Germany. The author.
a former German soldier who
was an American prisoner and
also far a time editor of q
magazine which was suppressed
for its attacks on the occupation
forces, suggests repeatedly that
the Germans can and should deal
with their own intransigeant ele-
ments. But it was their failure
to do so in the first place that
caused the recent holocaust. And
despite the sympathy he creates
lor his hero. he must remember
that 1t is difficult to distinguish
between men who wear the same
uniform and oStensibly fight the
same cause. MARY McGRoRY.

BY Anthony Eden. (Houghton.
Mi61in; So
The former British Foreign Sec.
retary might have been speaking
of the Korean situation when he
warned the House of Commons:
g. any vacillation on oul
part now would only encourage
the rulers of the Soviet Union to
believe that further pressure
would result in further yielding
until at last a stand has to be
taken which makes war inevita-
ble."
But Mr.. Eden, Mf. Churchill's
chief lieutenant in the Conserva-
tive opposition, was speaking OF
the Berlin blockade.
This volume includes some of
Mr.. Eden's outstanding addresses
in Parliament between June, 1946,
and August, 1949. Events have
moved so fast that most of the
problems and difficulties which he
discussed in the speeches have
changed. in one way or another
Thus these views, timely as they
were when uttered. have a dated
quality when published a year
after the last of them was heard
Mr.. Eden said Russia'S inten-
tions were first made plain by its
deliberate and continuous viola
ton of the Potsdam principle OF
keeping Germany as an economic
whole"
OF course. the principles OF
honorable men do not change with
situations and an admirable ac-
count of what the Conservative
Party has fought for and stands
for today can be cleaned from
these speeches. Mr.. Eden speaks
and writes with clarity and in
sight. This book should be valu-
able to the student of govern
ment and economics.
It Is to be hoped that in the
future Mr.. Eden may find time to
write his "reminiscences or at
least to state in more permanent
form his philosophy of govern
ment and international relation

career.

DIAMOND WEDDING
BY Wilbur Daniel Steele. (Dou-

MIR. Steele made a reputation as
a short-story writer in the '20s.
There was hardly an anthology
that didn't contain one of his
stories, and he won the o. Henry
Memorial Award several times.
He also has published a number
Of novels, some of them about the
West, which he knows intimately.
Diamond Wedding" deals with
Colorado from it's settlement by
prospectors and traders in the
1S50s to its lush period of develop
ment in the '80s and '9os. There
Is postscript placed in 1919.
Mr.. Steele's descriptions are au-
thentic, and his colloquial ap-
proach to the speech and thoughts
Of mountain men, Indians and
prospectors no doubt is accurate.
It takes more than that, however,
TO make novel. The chief char
acter was a waif on the Ohio
River, who never knew who his
parents were. He became a soli-
tary wanderer in the West, a
sort OF mountain man, although
the era Of mountain men was
over. He often lived with Indians.
The author emphasizes that Gowd
Skinner not only was illiterate,
but not very bright except in the
lore Of the wilderness. There
have been many characters in
literature with little or no learn
ing who were fascinating. But
Gowd moved through a sort of
haze all his life. He was supposed
TO develop shrewdness, a certain
wisdom beneath his simple ex-
terror, but it is never too clear
shat he was able to make deci-
sion of his own or that he cared
greatly how things went. 1t is
hard to feel much sympathy or in
terest in such man.
Hope, the girl who went West

her uncle, cultured Eastern
clergyman, is a strange character
