heimer Tuesday evening when
councilmen stated they had re-
ceived little, or no, complaints

appears, they no doubt will be-
come law.

Burke Denies
Lobbying Charge

Denying charges that he clears
his activities in Congress with any
individual who is not member
of Congress, Congressman Thomas
H. Burke said this week that he
has referred the matter to the
House Select Committee on Lob
bying Activities and has asked
them to investigate him.
81 have been accused of lobby
ing in its worst possible form, y
Mr. Burke said in several cam
paign speeches. II feel that the
persons making those accusations
should be required to produce
proof and testify under oath. For
that reason l have asked for a
Congressional investigation"
Mr.. Burke said he had not in
tended to make public his request
for an investigation until after
election, because "the issue in
volved transcends any POLITICAL
campaign" However, he stated,
the attacks against him had be-
come SO vicious he felt he had TO
report his action to his constitu-
cntS.
The Congressman charged that
he had been refused advertising
space in Toledo papers to defend
himself and declared that the Paul
Block publications had joined
forces with his opponents in an
effort to defeat the Democratic
program of social legislation and
public welfare.

Bob Considine, who has done
very well as a columnist and
author, says midway in this ac-
count of his home life that only
the family is interested in pictures
OF the baby. He is quite right.
This book, a kind of family album
which is enormously cheerful,
brash and sentimental, should
make a fine memory book for him

ing boys, the youngest of whom
stepped out of babyhood fairly re-
Gently. Mr.. Considine, having
made his statement about the lin
tied appeal of such documents,
probably went on to argue himself
about presenting it to the public on
the grounds that everybody else
Is doing it. He is right there, too.
But his book doesn't tell us much,
more than what we already knew:
That fathers are the same every
where. Mr.. Considine, like any
other father, thinks his three boys
say more cute things and get into
more trouble than any other
boys in the world. And he is alb
solutely right. MARY McGRoRY.'

study in that sinister. ancestor
worship that so often grips in

Her heroine is a particularly ag-
gravated case of ancestral pride,

cold thoroughness and a deadly
neatness that disposes of the girl
and her tradition.
| Elizabeth is rather a bundle Of

in love with her, and Elizabeth
dreams of being accepted in select

which has made her welcome.
And when she goes to visit her
aging grandmother at Laurel, the
ancestral mansion. she feels that
she is at last at home.
Miss Fellows writes with con-
siderable authority. as has been
indicated. The only fault that
might be found with this impress

lighter sort of historical adven-
ture. There is no deep probing OF
character. Sex is kept beyond
telescope range of these men-of-
war. In fact, there is not a shade
of what pulp and slick editors call
love interest in these youthful ex-
ploits. Probably the lad had no
time for romance in his several
years at sea and no opportunity
for it during his long stay in a
Spanish prison. At least if he
had any encounters OF. that sort,
the author has discreetly omitted
them. But in Hornblower's tor
tuous progress from midshipman
to lieutenant. there is plenty OF
excitement and more than touch
of humor.
The Hornblower books may not
be literature, but they are absorb
ing and diverting-surely pur-
pose not unworthy in these har-
assing times. Mr.. Forester showed
that he could do something deeper
and more difficult when he took d
sabbatical leave from his naval
hero a couple of years ago and
brought out THE Sky and the

novel of the African slave trade

The man of the '30s, he thinks,
