TO Muke Exception in

The Senate Armed Services
Committee promptly approved a
special bill to let General George
Marshall serve as Secretary of De
tense. But House Committeeman
decided to think it over a couple
OF days before acting
President Truman personally
asked the Congress to write an ex-
.ception in Marshall's case alone
into the existing law which bars
a military man from holding the
No. / civilian defense post. The
President also wrote Representa-
tive Carl Vinson of Georgia, of
the House Armed Services Com
mittee in which he said in part
that he is a firm believer in the
general principles that our de-
Tense establishments should be
headed by a civilian. However,
due to the present critical circum-
stances and Of General Marshall's
unusual qualifications, ! believe
that the national interest will be
served best by making an excep-
ton in this case.

John Eskine's Plea
For American Music
MY LIFE IN MUSIC

MY LIFE IN MUSIC
BY John Erskine. (MorroU; $780,
In this third book in the auto
biographical series which he is
writing. DR.. Erskine reveals how
strongly he has exerted his in
f1uence for American composers
and musicians and for native
opera. This influence has been
considerable when his years as
president of the Juilliard School
of Music and a director of the
Metropolitan Opera and as lee
turer and pianist across the coun-
try are recalled. The present Sit
uation at the Metropolitan, he
writes. sis, to say the least, con-
fused" And he makes 1t clear
that he had nothing to do with
bringing Rudolph Bing from Eng
land as manager. but attributes
this entirely to a subsidiary wom-
ems group. the Metropolitan OPP
era Guild, and to Mrs. August
oeIIHOII III particular.
These musical "reminiscences,
bringing in such notable figures
as Edward Mcdowell, are de-
cidedly interesting. Though he
always called himself an amateur
musician, whose profession was
teaching and avocation writing
novels, DR.: Erskine played with
some of the best orchestras and
gave many recitals. Failing
health finally forced him to give
up his piano, but he kept on
writing. The first volume of his
life story, THE Memory of Ger
tain Persons" dealing with his
childhood and the influences of
his life, was followed by a book
describing his years as a teacher
of English at Amherst and Co.
lumbia. The author of 1.-THE Pri-
vate Life of Helen of Troy" man
of astonishingly diverse gifts and
interests. hopes to complete his
personal story with volume on
his career as writer.

An Unpleasant Story
About Mercy Killing
THE BARRIER

i oAIG1A1GII
BY Dorothy Les Tina. (Rine-
hart: s2.75)
Harriet, lonely spinster, lived
with her mother. who was gradu-
ally losing her mind. The mother
was becoming an increasing prob
lem. Harriet was unwilling to
send the old woman to an insti-
tuition. A man friend advised
Harriet to give her mother
an overdose of sleeping medicine
The daughter was indignant, but
she gradually got used to the idea
and finally decided it was the
merciful thing to do. What hap
pened was unexpectedly forms
the climax of this novel. There
is the moral question of whether
any one has the right to play
God. to pass judgment of life or
death, under any circumstance.
Miss Les Tina's novel, it is true,
does not in the end amount to a
defense of such an act. The char
acters here are too shallow to give
the story the elements of tragedy.
1t is merely unpleasant and de-
pressing.

Zero" an explanation of totali-
tarianism in terms of nihiliSm, a
book that was something of a
sensation, and a book about Mao
-tung, the Red ruler of China.
Mr.. Payne seems to think
nothing of turning out two or
three books a year. The strange
part of it is that they never ap-
pear to have been thrown together
hastily, but are organized and
written with a care that might
suggest two or three years of
work. Not since he brought out
David and Anna" a love story,
of Malaga. three years ago has he
produced anything as poetic as
1.-The Young Emperor" a novel of
India in the 18th century.
The new story is as lovely in
its imagery as David and Anna"
was, and it is better novel, be-
cause it is splashed across a
broader canvas and there is more
significance to the wealth of de-
tail which sometimes was cloy-
ingly rich in the earlier book.
1.-The Young Emperor" describes
the transplanting of an English
youth from Devonshire to the
court of Prince Shah Jehan in the
fabulous Hindustan of that day.
Stephen Taverner lost all con-
tact with his own country and
became part of the court and
army of the handsome Prince,
who was in revolt against his
father, the Emperor. Terror, ex-
element and suspense mingle
with enhancing descriptions in
the story.
BY any discriminating standard
of story telling and writing, 1.-THE
Young Emperor" is an outstand-
ing novel.

his flaming youth. Schulberg
makes those days as glamorous as
they seemed to Halliday. The
center of the flame. of course, was
Jere Wilder. the mad young
beauty who was Halliday's fate
in the truest sense of the word.
Their 10-year marriage was "a long
date" 1.-THE trouble with both of
them" Halliday tells Stearns,
was that they thought youth was
a career, instead of prepara-
ton" Their dizzy progress fol-
lowed the upward path of the
stock Their world crashed
in 1929, too. and neither one of
them had the strength nor the ma
turity to pick up the pieces. The
hectic idyll crumbled on PSYCHE
atric touches and expensive sani-
tariums, and Manley limped off to
Hollywood, his last, worst hope.
Victim of His Own Success.
Schulberg presents Halliday as
a tragic hero. darling of the
gods blessed with every gift save
responsibility, a victim of his own
success, casualty of his times,
who knew better than any one else
what was wrong with him. Hal
liday, bibulously musing on his
