Constance Woener's Intensely American
Novel Puts New Life in an Old Theme
BY Constance Wagner. (Knopf; S275J
Reviewed by Carter Brooke Jones'

town away from the Knowleses
and their satellites. That could
have happened. But James per-
sonal discords are resolved by a
quick change of key. Her mother
in-law, defending her power
against the alliance of hillbillies
and outside promoters who are
trying to restore the town to a
health resort. goes too far. She
does something not only dishonor-
able. but dangerous to PUBLIC well
fare. Her husband and son tell
her off, and the son Walter at
last stands by Jane in her battle
against the old lady. The town
matriarch is a chastened woman.
1t is doubtful that those long
dominated men would have mus
tered the courage to defy her, and
still less likely that she would have
surrendered so easily. Nor is it
probable that Jane would have
been satisfied merely because her
husband at last showed a gleam
of manhood. She had taken too
much.
CLASSICS AND COMMERCIALS
by Edmund Wilson. (Farrar,
StrduS; S5.)
This collation. of literary ap-
praisals, by one of our most
erudite critics, is subtitled "A Lit
erary Chronicle of the Forties. u
But it ranges in it's discussions all
the way from Swift and Thackeray
to John O'Hara and James M
Cain. The excuse for reverting to
the more distant writer's usually
was the publication of biographies
or critical books. Mr.. Wilson gen.
orally is interesting and often
stimulating. His chapter on Oscar
Wilde is particularly sane and en-
| tightening. Some of Mr.. Wilson'S
judgments are hard to under
stand, and personal prejudices
often seem to weigh the scales in
one direction or another. For in
stance, he apparently resents Eve
lyn Waugh's conversion to Catho-
licism and its influence on his
work. and the critic speaks dis
paragillgly OF "trappings invented
for the other world by imaginative
believers in the Christian myth
:" Mr.. Wilson says he has
never been able to convince him
self that Somerset Vaughan was
anything but second rate"
Reviewing in some detail one of
the lesser Vaughan books, "Then
and Now" Mr.. Wilson charges
that Mr.. Vaughan is not by voca-
ton a real writer and that his
work is filled with cliches. Mr..
Maugham's greatest novel, "Of
Human Bondage" is not men
toned. except to recall that the
manuscript was turned over to
the Library of Congress. Most of
these articles appeared in maga-
zines, a large number in the New
Yorker.

A-J PRICE ROOMS WITH GOLD STOCKS
 AS RUBLE TIED ON

NEW YORK, March 14R-A furry of demand for gold stocks today followed news that Russia planned to tie the ruble to a gold standard.
 Demand for gold shares was even more pronounced in the London Exchange where heavy speculative buying was reported.
 The effect of the Russian an- nouncement was regarded as more psychological than real. Gold stocks here and in foreign exchanges have frequently attracted speculative support in past months, mainly on the basis of rumors that the price of gold would be raised above S35 an ounce.
 Fractionally higher prices were paid for Alaska Juneau Homestake Mining Dome Mines, Mcintyre Porcupine, and South American Gold and Platinum.
 The balance of the market slip ped at the start but almost immed- lately got good grip on the price ladder. Losses were either shaded or eliminated.

STATE DEPARTMENT . | SECRET LOYALTY FILES MAY OPEN UP

WASHINGTON, March 1--iR- President Truman may surprise his COP critics by opening secret State Department files to Communist hunting Senators.
 An administration official who declined to be quoted by name said today the President might decide to permit representative of a Senate Foreign Relations subcommittee to delve into the records in it's inquiry beginning next Wednesday-into charges by Senator Mccarthy (R-Wis).
 Mccarthy has said that number of Communists are now working or have worked for the State Depart ment. He has contended, however, that an investigation of these charges would be useless unless their secret loyalty files are made available.
 MT. Truman has banned Con- gressional committees from the files in the past. Administration lieuten- ants said he may make an excep- ton to allow Senators to visit the State Department and see the files there.
 If that happens, Republicans said they will demand that one or more of their members be present when. the files are examined.
 A Senate Appropriations subcom- mittee heard testimony by State Department officials yesterday that hundreds of representatives of other executive agencies want to learn whether job applicants have any black marks on their records.
