moreover, shown that the anger
of the Crimea was also demand
ing woman capable of driving her
colleagues with ruthlessness that
literally knew no bounds. Miss
Nightingale was utterly selfless
but her contemporaries found, to
their rue, that her altruism could
be more troublesome than another
woman's ambition.
Through use of material hitherto
unavailable Miss workmanship
makes the opening section Of her
book read like a Victorian novel
Florence, having had call from
God at II, but uncertain of her
mission until eight years later,
fought family opposition Of an
intensity that would have crushed
a lesser spirit. At the mere sug-
gestion that she become hospital
nurse-words inevitably conjur-
ing up a picture Of promiscuous
sot in degraded surroundings
her mother and her sister broke
into tears, mysteries and fainting
fits that fairly immobilized Flor
ence, who all the while cut q
dashing figure in European salons
as a wit, a beauty and a belle.
An Unparalleled Record.
When she embarked on the
great adventure of her life. she
had already prepared herself
through her clandestine study Of
hospitals all over Europe, for the
truly herculean task which awaited
her in the Crimea in 1854. There
she had to fight not only filth
disease, epidemics and inadequate
supplies but also conspiracy: re-
sentiment. bureaucratic moronity
and paralysis. But by exercising
superhuman self control, by refus-
ing to let her nurses go near the
wounded without doctors permis-
sion. by using her own supplies
and by exerting pressure on pow
erful friends at home, she pre-
vailed. It was a record of courage
humanity, tact, industry and per-
severance that has few parallels
Miss Nightingale was not only the
lady with the lamp who watched
at 1000 deathbeds. She was q
reformer far ahead of. her time
who despite the cry that she was
spelling the BRUTE" introduced
all sorts of benefits for the com.
mon soldier of her time.
The rest of her life. by compari.
son, might sound like an anti.
climax. But not the way Mrs
Woodham Smith recounts it. Miss
Nightingale was a passionate
woman, recklessly devoted to the
good Of humankind, and she ex-
pressed her love in work so dry
and so laborious it is painful ever
to read about. Withdrawing from
the public eye, and using her encr.
nous reputation only to threaten
balky statesmen, she broughr
about the reform of the Army

in all its quaintness; we see the
moods of weather and the ways of
the people, from the hard, danger
GUS diving and trapping of the
live sponges in deep water to the
lounging of men between times
over their interminable cups of
thick Turkish coffee.
The Christidos Family.
But we are concerned chiefly
with Christidos, proprietor Of the
Parthenon Bar and Grill; with
his family and with some of their
customers. Christidos is a man
of honor and decency, barely able
to write either Greek or English,
but stepped in the wisdom Of gen.
erations who wrested a living of
humble contentment from the
Aegean Sea-. Like so many i'm
migrants. he worries over the in
evitable turning away of his
children from the customs and
traditions of the Greek islands
to the free and easy ways of
America. A widower for years
he has the whole responsibility
for the three children.
John and Zoe are grown and he
is proud of them, especially of
John, who was a flyer in the war
and came home to become a COM
mercial pilot. Zoe is a fine girl,
and her father tries not to be too
disappointed that the plan he and
his partner had for her to marry
Spiros' son Philip did not work
out. Philip is studying to be a
doctor and has another girl. But
Christidos' main worry is his
youngest son, Stephen, now II, a
boy with a streak of wildness
which def1es discipline.
There are two gentlemen out of
work by preference who cadge
meals and drinks at the Parthenon
George Pappas, known as Lord
Byron, because he pretends to
write poetry, and "the General, y
who lives on the glory of his IA
ther, who died for Greece many
years ago. Then we meet the
austere Greek from the embassy.
who has come down for a vaca-
ton, and his only cultural equal.
who shares his table at the Par
thenon, the major blinded in
fighting the Italians.
Classical Allusion.
With two poets at work on this
slice of the Old World set down in
a tourists hive of modernity, the
temptation was simply too great.
They digress for pages at a time,
savoring the dawns. the nights.
the food and the mores. With
Greeks involved, what newer of
verses could resist the classical al
lusions to Greek mythology so dear
to all poets? There was young
Glafkos, who was the greatest
sponge diver of all time, who built
the Argo which bore Jason on his
quest of the Golden Fleece-Glaf-
kos, the special god of sponge
fishers. Those who love the music
Of words will linger over these
parenthetical passages. Others
may skim them to get back to the
story, which is absorbing enough
and leads to a dramatic conclu-
sion not unmixed with tragedy.

Marx Brothers
 In New Comedy ai Capitol Theatre

Love Happy" the latest Marx Brothers laugh epic to hit the screen opens at the Capitol Theatre to- night. The picture is treat for hard and true Marx fans and should earn the comedians new audience inasmuch as the producer, Lester Cowan, took his courage in his hands, so to speak, and gave the Marx boys a complete story thread to handle, as well as three luscious blondes as co-stars.
 In the past Marx Brothers com- edy has been simply connected series of uproarious gags. But Love Happy" is something quite different. In the guise. of a private eye" Groucho stalks through the plot giving hilarious burlesque of a modern Sherlock Holmes. Harpo, the mute. instead of chasing a scared blonde and playing one solo on his harp. is given a nice, juicy role for a change and proves a con- stant delight.
 And droll Chico gives out with an excrutiatingly funny piece of pan tomimic dialogue" with Harpo. the like of which has never before been seen on stage or screen.
 Besides Miss Massey who is al ways a delight to the eye. in her amusing role as a voluptuous siren there is dainty Vera-Ellen dancing an intriguing modern ballet num- Der called Sadie Thompson" and attractive Marion Hutton, sister of the effervescent Betty, singing a couple of song numbers authored by Ann Ronell.

Search for Lost Youth Abandoned
Crevdsse in Glacier Where C. Ross Slipped Found-BeIieved Dead

ANCHORAGE, Alaska, Sept. 28- R,-Hope was abandoned today for a Fairbanks youth lost in an ice crevasse on Bartlett Glacier and the air force called searchers back to their base
 The Elmendorf Air Force base public information office said 10th Rescue Squadron trail crew, which has searched the glacier for 19-year- -old Gerald D. Ross, reported further search appeared hopeless. The crew is returning to Elmendorf. the PIC said.
 A helicopter taking part in the search crashed and burned in an emergency landing yesterday.
 The pilot, Knute Flint. was not hurt.
 Flint had. been flying over the glacier with Bob Rose seeking a trace of Ross who Rose said fell into crevasse on the ice pack while on a hiking trip Sunday. Copter Crashes, Burns
 After dropping Rose. Flint headed back to the base camp at Tunnel but was forced by low overcast to attempt an emergency landing. Loose, fresh snow covered the ground and the helicopter rolled over and caught fire as it landed.
 Another 'copter pilot, Charles Mo- Kee, who also was taking part in the search for Ross, picked up Flint and returned him to the base camp.
 Crevasse is Found The trail crew, backtracking Rose, found the crevasse he described.
 Crewmen said they fired guns and shouted in the ice crack which they said was several hundred feet deep. They received no reply.
 Since two feet of new snow cov- cred the area and the crevasse was extremely dangerous no attempt was made to descend. However, the crewmen were certain that Ross was dead. the Elmendorf Air Force PIC said.
 Ross was the son of MT. and Mrs. J. c. Ross of Fairbanks. The father is a construction worker and the mother is an employee of the Northern Commercial Company.
 Parents Notified
 Because of poor communications in Alaska and the fact they live out side of town, the parents were not notified until yesterday that Gerald had not returned from the glacier expedition. sfskss kfi
 They kept 12-hour vigil at the Fairbanks, Alaska Communication System office hoping for favorable news, but returned to their home before word was received that hope had been abandoned.
 When a friend broke the news, the mother tried sbravely to hide her tears. The father said, We've tried to face it because we knew you don't live five days trapped in glacier crevasse."

Communication

The Daily Alaska Empire, Dear Sir.
 enclose a clipping from your paper, dated Sept Is in which Act ing Marshal Walter Hellan said he had ordered Max Rogers, Sitka Deputy, to Pelican to investigate a reported burglary after the Mayor had wired request for such action.
 No such burglary has been re- ported to me and I have sent no such wire, but I have received a radiogram stating that the Marshal is coming.
 Since that time a Marshal has been here nearly three days, but he has not contacted me in any way, nor was the subject brought up at the council meeting held while he was here.
 I believe that even a small town Mayor is within his rights if he requests others who use the title during his term of office to add their signature. especially in matters where personal animosity is incur red
