And yet it would not do to
overemphasize the difference. The
fact is that the South Carolina, of
the period when it produced most
Jewish officers, was very close to

South Carolina contributed much
to the material annals of South
Carolina and Penina Noise was

Perhaps the East Side has not

lineal descendants of the ten lost
tribes of Israel and now seek
union with the Jewish people
under the Mosaic banner"
Following dedication of the
eight-foot altar, Rabbi Ostrowsky
and Jochanan Goodin, a convert,
took Scroll of the Law-lent for
the occasion by the Muskegon
synagogue-raised it aloft, and
proclaimed the union of the lost
tribes of Israel with the house of
David. AS Rabbi Ostrowsky blew
the Shofar, the converts marched
around the altar seven times,
carrying traditional Succoth palm
branches. The flag of Israel was
prominently displayed through
out the rites.

The Years Outstanding Job
In Entertainment Literature
1t is no reflection on the quality
of the others that a man asked
to choose the outstanding work in
entertainment literature this year
would select Mr.. Seldes' THE
Great Audience" without hesita-
ton.
It's author is one of the great
figures in the popular arts. In
one after another he has func-
toned creatively or critically, or
both. AS critic. film writer. radio
and television writer director pro-
ducer. Mr.. Seldes has brought a
sharp, discerning mind and
genuine affection for the medium
to his every task.
In 1.-The Great Audience" he
sums up his experience to date
on the movies, radio and televi-
sion, the most universal of the
popular arts. He finds these pow
erful mediums of communication

ment potential. And their en-
lightenment potential. also. New

This is a prospect of more than

Social upheaval of the most basic
sort is suggested.

of dramatic concern to all story

DR.. Millikan is familiar figure

leadership in the National Acad-

appearances as Government

To reporters DR.. Millikan has
often appeared bruSk, somewhat
difficult man. A quite unexpected
kind of intensely human idealist
emerges from his autobiography.
But the autobiography is much
more than a self revelation. DR..
Millikan has been intimately as
sociated with nearly all the great
minds who have been milestones
on the long road from the naive
physics of the mid-19th century to
the ideas of retreating universes
and the inescapable terror of the
atomic bomb.
Probing the Mystery
OF the Human Mind
It is another kind of American
success story-the rise of the poor
country boy through ceaseleSs grit
and labor not to material riches
but to leadership in the world of
the mind.
Quite a different kind of book
is the autobiography of the late
DR.. Abraham Myerson. long pro-
fessor of psychiatry at Tufts Col
lege, who approached the mystery
Of creation from quite different
direction. His studies were of the
workings of the mind itself-of
which DR.. Milhkan's atoms and
cosmic rays may in the final
analysis be only creations.
The field of the mind for the
past half century has been clut-
tered with much mysticism. vague

The few exceptions to the gen.
eral poor quality are lost in the
nonsense of some that have be-
come best sellers-such monu-
ments of confusion and asininity
as Worlds in Collision" (MacMil-

Saucers" (Holt).
That these have attained such
popularity is monument Of some
sort, symptom of sickness of the
times that would be somewhat diff
ficult to diagnose. There seems to
be abroad a confusion that is
hungry for more confusion. So
thousands Of supposedly intelli-
gent persons have taken seriously
such phantasies as that of little
men arriving in space ships from
Mars and near collisions with the
planet Venus accounting for most
of the miracles of the Old TeSta-
ment. A few others reach to even
greater absurdity and confusion
So much so that they most obvi-

1850 in the Field of Science

In the midst of all this, DR.. Myer-
son has stood out as perhaps the
sanest figure of the age. accepting
neither the gatherings of psycho-
analysts or the equally ill-founded
irritationS coming from the ex-
treme materialists.
His autobiography describes the
philosophy at which he arrived
from his studies of the source
of all PHILOSOPHERS. He appears
the ideal of the wise physician.
There is at least one outstand-
ing biography-Louis Pasteur by
DR.. Rene j. Dubos of the Rocke-
feller Institute. DR.. Dubos, him.
self one of the outstanding names
in contemporary biology, writes Of
fellow countryman to whom his
tory assigns the highest place Of
all.
Tracing the Progress
OF Biological Science
But it is not the father of the
germ theory of disease who stands
out most prominently in this
biography. 1t is the story Of
biological science itself from it's
clumsy beginnings to the present
age of the antibiotics.
DR.. Dubois has gone back to
original sources. The book is
crammed with material of the
most fascinating sort-especially
the anecdotes showing the high
social position of scientists in the
first half of the last century.
OF all the books in the field of
popular science published during
the year especially, attention
should be called to "The Universe
and DR.. Einstein" by Lincoln Bar
nett civilian Sloane Associates).
This is the most lucid and eloquent
exposition of the extremely diff
cult concept of relativity by a
layman. issued with the approval
of DR.. Einstein himself.
To Better Understand
The Einstein Theory
Einstein once was incorrectly
reported as saying that only about
10 men in the world could under
stand his theory. 1t is highly
essential that many men-and not
only trained physicists-under-
stand it, for it is the basis of the
new physics and the present con-
cepts of reality.
Mr.. Barnett has rendered q
distinguished service in reducing
the mathematical equations to
