THE AGE OF SCANDAL
BY r. H. White. &C. P. Putnam's
Sons; $3.J
This is a plant for the good old
days in England when lords were
lordly and the mob contented it
self with a riot every now and
then. Mr.. White finds refuge from
austerity and mediocrity in con-
templating the period between the
age of reason and the romantic
revival, roughly the last half of
the 18th century. It was q time
of much elegance, eccentricity,
bravado. gusto. gossip and glory.
The fops Of the age Of scandal
wept copiously. ate prodigiously,
bet maniacally. but they had
plenty Of stuff. or bottom" as
they called it. Mr.. White, a nos
talgic Tory, Burrows through diaries
and letters to turn up the gamey
items which amused Horace Wal
poles contemporaries and finished
off his account with the story of
the Marquis de Sade. The times
were not for the squeamish.
Neither is Mr.. Whites loving re-
construction of them.

ONCE MORE THE THUNDERER

ONCE MORE THE THUNDERER
BY Henry Beetle Hough. (IUes
Washburn, Inc; $500
For 80 years Henry Beetle
Hough has served the salt-sprayed
community of Martha's Vineyard
as editor of it's weekly newspaper,
The Vineyard Gazette. In this
affectionate but never cloying
backward glance he recounts the
problems and triumphs attendant
on his humble, laborious and wise
stewardship. It's hard to draw
the line between freedom of the
press and the responsibilities of
friendship. Browsing through his
files Mr.. Hough turns up a fine
clutch of vignettes of Yankee
characters, whom he pictures with
their eccentricities and motives
fairly balanced. His most interest
ing passages relate to the coming
of war to the island. One of the
natives engaged in a full-scale
private war with the Navy. which
Mr.. Hough recounts with fine
deadpan humor. He also squeezes
the last tangy drop out of such
incidents as the visiting PIT boat
which festively dumped a depth
charge. which didn't go deep
enough. and the night a nervous
afraid warden thought he heard
Seven Germans" over the tele-
phone when it was only "Sven
Hermans." City reporters who
dream of setting up country
weeklies would do well to con
Mr.. Houghs gently stringent
pages first.

THE SWISS FAMILY PEREL-
MAN
BY S. J. Perelman. Simon &
Schuster; $2.95J
S. j. Perelman, the Burton
Holmes of the lunatic fringe, took
his wife and two children along
on this latest jaunt. The family
didn't cramp his style at all, and
this report is just as much a
happy travesty of the usual trav-
elogue as westward Hal" Much
of the itinerary was taken up with
the masters second look at the
mysterious East, which appeared
to him somewhat less mysterious
on closer examination. He spends
more time on frustrated and fu-
riously resentful Dutch empire
builders and on callow diplomats
"a slightly distorted picture, per-
haps, but still discouraging. After
adding a mynah bird to the en-
tourage. the party took off for
Europe. Mr.. Perelman enjoyed
Dublin more than any other Eu-
ropean city. His account of their
evening with some back-biting
Irish writer's is one of the high
spots of the book.

THE ROOSEVELT-MacARTHUR

THE ROOSEVELT-M -MacARTHUR
CONFLICT
BY James X. Eyre, jr. fCratt
Press; $3.)
The author was employed by
Sergio Osmena, who succeeded to
the presidency Of the Philippines,
then a government in exile, when
President Manuel Quezon died in
the fall Of 1943. Mr.. Eyre served
in Washington and later in
Manila. He describes himself as a
personal adviser to President Os-
mena. This book Is the result
of observation and study of the
events that followed the outbreak
Of the war in the Philippines.
Gen. Macarthur and President
Quezon. according to the author,
both felt that they were betrayed
when the Philippines was at
tackled in 1941 and Washington
failed to send adequate help. Mr..
Eyre says the general was ready
to fall in with Quezon's plan to
leave embattled Corregidor and
go to Manila and give himself up
to the Japanese in hope of OBJ
tanning some sort of terms for his
people. Vice President Osmena
persuaded the then President OF
the islands not to do this. and
Quezon changed his mind. Mr.
Eyre reports. A message also
came from Mr.. Roosevelt violently
opposing such surrender. So
Gen. Macarthur and Quezon
fought on. But the breach between
the President and the general
never was healed. The author
blames Gen. Macarthur for ap-
proving the. alleged collaboration
Manuel A. Roxas, afterward presi-
dent. Mr.. Eyre blames Mr.
Roosevelt more for assertedly
allowing the Philippine policy
to drift to the point where
a reactionary, pro-Japanese gov
ernment was set up in the islands
after. the war, one many people
hated so they turned to commu-
. niSm.
Mr.. Eyre's conclusions lack
Recommendation at important
points. Some of the references he
does cite are authoritative, others
are from sources that may or may
: not be reliable. The authors per.
, sonal experiences with Osmens
are not alluded to. The writing
is clear enough and reasonably ob.
, jective. But the book seems
strangely incomplete. 1.-THE

The Literature of Crime, edited
by Ellery Queen. Uittle, Brown
81 Co.: $500
When the great literary crafts
men turn their hand to crime, the
results are a lesson to all their
pot-boiler colleagues. The action
stems from character. the cli-
makes are an inevitable conse-
quence of what has gone before,
the irony is exquisite. In short.
Ellery Queen. in his latest anthol-
ogy. has used the word literature"
advisedly. The 26 non-mystery
authors chosen for the collection
range from Vaughan to Dickens,
from Hemingway to Kipling. They
explore murder, kidnapping, lar
ceny. gangsterism and a variety
of other criminal activities with
