Slip a pocket-sized brush into

There will be complaints. not
necessarily partisan. that this book
gives only one side of the story of
Mr.. Hoover's public life. If so. the
reader will know that the other
side has been far too unfavorably
noted and long remembered.
Mr.. Hinshaw's sympathetic in
depreciation Of a fellow Quaker
provides ample reason4to appreci-
ate Mr.. Hoover's integrity. sense
of individual responsibility, devo-
ton to duty as he saw it. his silent
acceptance of so much criticism,
and his refusal to resort to many
of the tricks of professional
politicians.
Mr.. Hinshaw's treatment of a
statesman still so active that he
scarcely seems elder" achieves
considerable success by simply
emulating Alfred E. Smith and
looking at the record. While Mr..
Hinshaw's handling of excerpts
from the record might stir further
controversy. it surely can cause
squirming in high party places,
Republican as well as Democratic.
He blames old-guard Republi-
cans as we'll as the late Charlie
Nicholson and the Democratic
National Committee for smear
Hoover" tactics of the earlier era.
He asserts that the Republican
Party might have saved its soul"
by nominating Mr.. Hoover in 1886.
He declares that the Roosevelt ad-
ministration took credit for several
reforms advocated or instituted by
President Hoover. He observes
that some of the agricultural. So

Hoover tried to remedy are still

plunged into the emotional at
mosphere Of the place. He was
scarcely over the border before
he remarks approvingly, For
them (the Italians) sacred and
mortal love are love confederate,
all rolled into one, big warm

The personality Of each city
comes through Mr.. O'Faolain's S
ecstatic, occasionally overembroid-
cred prose. He mentions the
stencil of Genoa, the inconven-
fences of Italian travel, the gaudi-
ness of some religious objects, the
appalling poverty of the poor, but
everywhere he is struck by "the
wedding Of art and life" He
loved the "weighty duskiness" of
Florence. He went to a horse
race in Siena, beside which an
Irish horse race seemed like the

completely undid him. But the
heart of the book is the passage
on Rome. There, bemused "by a
bewildernent of perspectives," :"
Mr.. O'Faolain is puzzled, then en-
lightened to be shown an ancient
and cherished faith which
breathes side by side with a fierce
anti-clericalism. His account of
his own subsequent reconciliation
with the church is a humble and
touching chapter.
This is, as I say, not the O'Fao-
lain of "An Irish Journey" who
shook the leprechauns out of
every tree. This is a man quite
intoxicated by the atmosphere of
a country. He will tell you moth

Arabs displaced by the Palestinian
partition finally outweighs her
sympathy for the Jews who were

That is not to say that she has
written any fiery denunciation of
Israel. On the contrary, she has
described with a good deal of
admiration their industry and
progress and the militant spirit
which informs the infant state.
But the first thing she saw in the
Holy Land was a miserable camp
inhumanly crowded with some OF
the 10000 Arab refugees who
had been driven from their an

of beautiful, deserted orchards

CLOAK OF LAUGHTER

BY May Mellinger. Putnam,
$2.75.)
For some reason. it seems i'm
possible for a writer who knows
San Francisco to write q wholly
bad novel about that enthralling
city. Not that this first novel
would be without merit If it we're
laid in Oshkosh or Norfolk, but
somehow after reading the story.
it seems doubtful that it could
have happened anywhere but in
San Francisco. It deals with two
men and two girls who drift there
during the depression and get
acquainted at a smelly boarding
house as they hunt non-existent
jobs. 1t is not the plot, which is
pretty hard to take. but the casual
charm with which it is unfolded,
that lifts CLOAK of Laughter"
above the average novel. Miss
Mellinger makes you believe that
much stranger things than the
events she describes could easily
occur in San Francisco.

III, under pressure of the United
States, which could not tolerate
such a fragrant violation of the
Monroe Doctrine, would withdraw
his soldiers and toss his imperial
creature to the encircling bands
of republicans.
A Pathetic Imperial Court.
The author centers his attention
on the rather pathetic imperial
court and yet he manages to con-
vey the same sympathy for the
Mexican people that was so evi-
dent in the previous novels of his
Mexican trilogy-"The Cry of Do
loreS" and 'The Wine of San Lor-
enZo." Balzane, a French captain
attached to the royal household, is
an observer through whom much
of the story is told. He loves
Carlota - hopelessly, of course -
and for her sake would give his
life for Macmillan. And yet in
the end. when Juarez returns to
the capital in triumph. Belzane
is able to say: "Juarez is a great
man." A salty American stage
coach driver, long in Mexico, adds
flavor to the story.
THE Breast of the Dove. seems
to me the finest of the trilogy.
The books are not connected ex-
cept in the sense that each deals
with a phase of Mexican history.
Mr.. German writes with beauty
and penetration. He is one of a
small number of historical novel;
lists who give promise of redeem
ing the medium from the medi-
ocrity into which it has slipped
in recent years.
