THE HAND OF THE HUNTER
BY Jerome Weidman. (Har-
court, Brace; $780,
Mr.. Weidman has written sew
eral well-regarded novels, starting
with 'I Can Get It for You
Wholesale" and some perceptive
short stories. This novel is the
record of what happened to sew
eral passengers and ships officers
on an ole freighter on the II days
she was anchored in Halifax har-
Dor awaiting formation of a war;
time convoy to England. 1t is
more particularly the story of Vim
cent Sloate, a middle-aged Ameri-
can, a certified public accountant
who is going to England on a mis-
sion for his government.
Sloate, the successful head of a
New York auditing firm, is well
developed. The situation starts
promisingly, with sinister circum-
stances ana an air OF mystery
confronting the practical business
man. The succeeding pages, how
ever, bog down into an interim
nable sequence of flashbacks and
reflective passages that smother
all the opening excitement. The
story moves so slowly that it seems
twice as long as it is. Even the
writing is of the leisurely, round
ed sort likely to reduce interest to
Indifference. The threads of mys-
terry lead mostly to prosaic ex-
plantations. The reader will CLEAN
some rewarding characterization,
shrewd observations and sly
humor-if he can stay awake long
enough.

JAMES T. FARRELL
vanguard; $5.)
These stories, long out of print,
originally were included in Mr..
Farrell's first three books of short
stories. There are more than SO
stories in these $50 pages. A
preface which the author wrote
in 1887 is reprinted, and it is
worth the study of every serious
student of the short story, indeed
of every one interested in American
literature. The formula story, by
no means dead, despite the rise
of the story touched with life,
inevitably is accompanied by "a
loss of concern with content" Mr..
Farrell points out. In such stories
"life is falsified. A literature of
hollow and straw men is pro-
duced." Mr.. Farrell's stories
never follow formula; they are
taken out of life. But some critics
are still so obsessed with the short
story as a pattern and a trick that
they are unable to realize that Mr..
Farrell is one of our leading short
story writer's, as well as signifi-
cant novelist of our times. This
collection includs Studs" written
in 1929-the germ of the Lonigan
trilogy of novels. A number of
Mr.. Farrells best stories are here
among them the little masterpiece
"Jo-Jo," with it's memorable line,
beginning: "The room was thick
with the clinging pathos of dead

The Ukraine, a Red

TWENTIETH CENTURY
UKRAINE
BY Clarence A. Manning. Book

Reviewed by Belmont Fories
The Ukraine, the rich prize for
which Hitler went to war with
Russia, today is one of the chief
sources Of Soviet economic
strength. But the spirit of Ukrain-
ian nationalism. which has sur
vived decades of oppression and
failure, makes the area a poten-
tial Achilles heel, Prof. Manning
believes.
At home and abroad, the long
fight for Ukrainian independence
continues. A shadowy Ukrainian
1nSurgent army operates in small
bands behind the iron curtain

tural studies flourish among exiles

1t will extend through April 20.
Miss Fuller reveals unusual

clude prints (many in color) in
soft ground etching, in which she
is particularly interested. also en-
craving, aquatint, hard ground
etching and several others. mostly
in combination with the first men
toned: collages, of such materials
as lace collars, insertion. netting,
string and other textured ma
terials: and string compositions.
In most of the plates. the nature
of the material replaced a pre-
conceived drawing as the point of
departure.
Miss Fuller's experiments with
fabrics for collages gradually led
her to a realization of their po-
tentialities as medium for COM
positions complete in themselves.
Sixteen such works on view are
intricate and varied designs rang
ing from delicate threads to thick
string. heavy rope and colored
woods.
A native Of Pittsburgh, Miss
Fuller received her ABB. from
Carnegie Institute Of Technology !,
and her AM. from Columbia Uni
versity Teachers College. For the
past decade she has exhibited
in major print shows in
the United States as well as abroad.
She had a solo exhibition at the
Division of Graphic Arts year or
two ago. Examples of her work
are in important permanent COL
lections, including the Library of
Congress and the National Gallery
of Art, as well as the Metropol-
itan Museum, New York, Chicago
