which reveals the full horror OF
those days.
It was when the persecution of
his race had become a national
policy under Hitler that DR.. Stern
heard sermon by Cardinal Faul-
haber that was to change his spir-
itual life. But then, and for many
years afterward. in England and
in Canada, he questioned his
moral right to leave the Jewish
community by a visible sign" dur
ing its ordeal. But his studies,
his reason and all his instincts
could not be denied forever. And
he gives in painstaking detail
his intellectual progress toward
christianity.
Unlike 1.-The Seven S torey
Mountain" this era's most famous
story of a conversion by Thomas
Merton, pillar of Fire" has no
element of reimbursement. DR..
Stern approached slowly. with
great dignity. with a heart and
mind ready for the gift of faith
His book is full of the fervor and
joy of a convert who had to make
a long journey from one proud
tradition to another. He lost
nothing of his childhood heritage,
he maintains, he has infinitely en-
riched it. This beautiful book has
won a Christophers Award.

Ambassador Gerard
Tells His Story
Z FIRST 83 YEARS IN

MY FIRST SO YEARS IN
AMERICA
BY James w. Gerard. Double
day; $780,
These are the memoirs of the
man who was our last Ambassa-
dor to Germany before the First
World War. Mr.. Gerard other
wise has had a distinguished
career as a lawyer, a jurist and a
political leader who never sought
elective office. He dedicates this
book to his companion of nearly
so years. his wife, the former
Molly DAILY. daughter of the fabu-
1ous Montana copper king, Mar
Gus DAILY. Mr.. Gerard is much
concerned in the early chapters
of his story with New York So
ciety, which in his youth was "a
closely organized and tightly con-
trolled enterprise governed by
strict rules" He remembers the
first of the hierarchy, August
Belmont, who came to America
about 1887 and despite the fact
that he spoke with a thick Ger
man accent, ruled as abso-
lutte social arbiter." Mr.. Gerard
knew most of the leading figures
in the national and international
scenes for half a century. He
writes of them and of his own
experiences Interestingly.

The very essence of romance is in
these interpretations of eternal
ocean, night sky. lonely ship.
Ryder put into paint what Poe
and Coleridge said in prose and
poetry-not the same themes. but
a kindred spirit. From the esthetic
standpoint, Ryder's compositions
are enormously effective in his
spotting of light and dark, his
mysterious shadows. ghostly skies.
unearthly illumination.
A depressing aspect of his work
is that his indifference to or ignor-
ance Of materials, has resulted in
the deterioration Of many Of his
paintings, through darkening of
the paint, and deep cracks. He
used cheap pigments, large
amounts of varnish which he
did not always allow to dry thor
oughly before working on them.
and he sometimes used alcohol as
a solvent, or mixed wax with his
paints. which dried and shrank.
Ryder lived so completely in his
own dream world, that the out
lines of his life seem pathetic to
most of us. He followed his family
to New York City when he was
about 20. and remained there
nearly all his life, save for brief
trip to Europe and a few ocean
crossings. He got along on a
pittance, caring nothing for
clothes, food or comfort. His
single room was shockingly clut-
tered and dirty. Friends have left
accounts of it. with its path"
from door to easel bordered by
walls" of empty cereal boxes,
newspapers. broken china and
other trash, rising to meet stream
ers of paper hanging from the
stained walls. and his only light
two south windows opaque with
dirt. He was oblivious of all this,
for his was truly "a mind forever
voyaging on strange seas of
thought, alone"

An Australians View
OF the Japanese

TIME OF FALLEN BLOSSOMS.
BY Allan S. Clifton. (Altred A.
Knopt; s3.)
The author. an interpreter with
the Australian occupation forces
in Japan, made practically an IN
conditional surrender to the peo-
pie of the country. Stationed in
the port city of Hiroshima, he
found them curious. gentle, polite,
loyal and tolerant. In many in
stances, occupation policy struck
him as stupid and brutal, and he
was frequently ashamed of the
conduct of ADMINISTRATORS
Mr.. Clifton. who can't have got
a very cordial reception on his
return home, gives a good idea
OF japanese customs and enter
tainment. He tells very little of
the political and sociological pic
ture. and so his book is not espe-
cially enlightening. Still, it is
good to know that wartime an
tagonism can dissolve into such
high mutual regard.

Karl Stems Pillar of Fire Is Antidote

THE PILLAR OF FIRE
BY Karl Stern. (Harcourt, Brace & Co.; $780,

by mari OtcTIl. H~COUTt, DUO
Although 1t was not specifically
intended to be, THE Pillar of
Fire" is the perfect antidote to
Mr.. Koestler's machine-t fooled
despair. A Jewish psychiatrist, DR.
Stern is. like Koestler, a Euro
pean intellectual, brought up
in the climate of Marx and Freud.
But unlike Koestler. he found the
answer to all his longing in Ro-
man catholicism, to which he was
converted in 1943, after long years
of bewildered search.
His story. stepped in the old
German tradition that loved music
and culture and merriment, is a
profoundly moving one. DR.. Stern
not only points out the mile
stones along the road of his spir-
itual odyssey. His account CLOVIS
with humanism, humanity and
humor. He describes his favorite
teachers at medical school, the
student parties and walking trips,
the fervent chamber music ses-
sions that marked in life in the
"pre-gas chamber" epoch in Ger
many. His description of coming
home to his own little Bavarian
town and being met by his father,
who told him who greeted" and
who did not is a poignant chapter

Literary History

THE GEORGIAN LITERARY
SCENE. 1910 1885.
BY Frank Swinnerton. (Farrar,

This is a new and revised edi-
ton of Mr.. Swinnerton's mellow
disarming literary history, in
which personal "reminiscences Is
intertwined with critical judg-
ment. It Is extremely easy to
take, not the least bit academic
On the whole, the eminent Brit
ish novelist is kindly and tolerant
toward his -toilers in the
field. But he can be extremely
sharp, as he is in the case OF
Bertrand Russell: and downright
irreverent about James Joyce,
that god Of many moderns. OF

Gated, she finds that irresistible
Into the character of Nikitin
Koestler has poured all his molter
hatred and understanding of the
Soviet machine. Nikitin looks ane
talks like man. The only thing
he lacks is soul. He reveal.
this to Hyde in a scene which fol
sheer psychological brutality sur.
passes anything in modern fiction
But 1t cures her.
A Hero of Culture.
Around his central characters
Koestler has created a chorus Of
people representing practically
every shade of modern thought
One of his finest creations-al.
though it is really extraneous-
is that Of Leo Leontiev, the here
of culture who breaks with the
party, but who, when he goes tt

doing, finds the years of perversior
have made him impotent. He de.

the futile intellectuals. "The
sacred right to talk becomes pretty
meaningless If nobody has any
thing to say worth listening to-
says one of them in going over to
the enemy.
Even those most offended by
Koestler's ferocious comparison OF
catholicism and communism will,
agree with his diagnosis of what
ais the Western world. its lack
of faith. He apparently wants
faith. but not religion.
Koestler writes to draw blood
there is no question. Even his
occasional pleasantries have the

In the world of ideas he is one Of

whipping out to the hamburger
joint for a slim meal as they
scheme to get by until payday
next week. We follow them on
dates and look into their intimate
problems.
The story. entertaining If not
profound. should interest not only
Washington readers. but people in
lot of other cities, since Gov
eminent girls come from all over
the United States and Washington
still is fabulous city-sometimes
to those who live here.
Caroline Hicks comes from a
small town in Pennsylvania. It
is hard to imagine a girl in these
times, wherever she comes from,
quite so naive and unsophisticated
as Caroline, but perhaps there are
such. She finds herself thrust
into a room with Shirley. a girl
who cracks wise and knows all
the answers, and Margaret, a good
irish girl who nevertheless has
her eyes wide open. Caroline. of
course. learns-not only the diff
ference between a martini and an
old fashioned, but the fact that
a young man like her boss at the
cld-line department does not take
her out merely because he thinks
she is a good secretary and nice
girl.
Eventually the three girls do
better for themselves-they get
an apartment over in Virginia.
And, before the story ends, Car
oline is much wiser. though it
cannot be said she is sadder.
Whether or not. as the author
implies, minor officials in the
Government spend a lot of time
planning to seduce their secre-
taries and sometimes succeeding,
the atmosphere Of Washington Is
well conveyed.
The book is highly readable,
though, it must be said. superficial.
There are a good many amusing
scenes, but there is little emotion
al impact. The girls seem more
like silhouettes than four -dimen-
sional characters. The story also
could have been trimmed to ad-
vantage: it's 438 pages carry much
aimless dialogue and many descrip-
tons which. while authentic, do
not carry the narrative forward.
But the energetic and versatile
Capt. Karig, known for his au-
thoritative histories of the naval
war in the Pacific. has tackled q
difficult subject for a man-delv-
ing into the ways and minds OF
lonely girls in community where
they outnumber the men 8 to /
and has succeeded in turning out
an amusing book.

Smithsonian Opens
RYDER Room in Honor
OF Greet Painter
By Florence S. Berrymon

The United States greatest ro-
manifest in the painting field.
Albert Pinkham Ryder, is newly
commemorated by the ofiicial
opening last Friday. of the Ryder
Room OF the John Gellatly col
lection in the National Collection
of Fine Arts, Smithsonian Insti-
tuition. These Is paintings have
been here sine 1888. They are
now emphasized by being brought
together on the walls Of a small
gallery on the first floor of the
Natural History Building.
Washington art galleries own
about one-sixth Of Ryder's total
output Of approximately $50 orig
inals, making the National Capt.
tai an excellent place for the
study Of this 10Th century master.
An eighth generation Yankee.
born (1847) in New Bedford,
Mass, the old whaling port, Ryder
grew up with the sea in his blood.
Two of his brothers followed the
sea: but because of his health, his
parents allowed him to follow his
boyish inclination to draw and
paint. He never wanted to do
anything else. throughout his life.
He was a classic introvert. with
an extensive knowledge of liter
allure, and many of his paintings
have literary themes. But they
are complete in themselves, never
mere illustrations.
Greatest Works.
Two of his greatest works are
in the new Ryder room, the Fly
ing Dutchman" and Jonah" "
epics of the sea, full of dramatic
grandeur. Another fine painting
is the Pastoral Study" a serene
treatment of COWS under a
gnarled tree. There is also an
early painting of horses in
stable. and several gilded leather
panels for screens. The mystic
little painting Of Christ Appear
ing Before Mary" is full of re-
ligious feeling.
But most characteristic of Ryder
are the paintings Of the ocean,
tempestous as if the first two
masterpieces mentioned above, or
serene under a moonlit sky. They
are more than nocturnal marines.
