Reviewed by Belmont Fories
In his two months in the
Soviet Union, Mr.. Gofdey, a
Communist French jour-
nalist, learned much about how
the ordinary Russian lives, but
very little about what he thinks.
Despite his ability to speak Rus
sian. he had only one unsuper-
vised talk with a Soviet citizen.
But he did acquire quite a bit
OF information on the Russian
standard of living, and on cul-
tural and educational activities
in Moscow.
Ell Campesino, one Of the
Communist heroes Of the Span

learn about Russia. AS an in

A Portrait of
Old Georqetown
By Grace Dunlon Eckt

BY Grace Dunlop Ecker. (Dietz
Press, Richmond; $5.)
While the author says it was
not in her mind to write a hos
tory of Georgetown, since several
have been written, her verbal
portrait of the old town de-
scribes its great days of the past
and its transition into a charm
ing part of Washington. Her
book is richer in early lore and
more interesting than most local
histories. 1t is generously illus
trated with pictures of PERSONAL
tiles and old houses. She has
revived some episodes in the
narrative of the region probably
little known, outside a limited
circle, such as one concerning
Henry Foxall. During the War
OF 1912 Mr.. Foxall had a foundry
at which cannon were cast for
our troops. When the British
captured Washington, he vowed
that if God spared his foundry,
so vital to the American cause,
he would build a church. The
British Army started for George
town. but was turned back by a
terrific storm. Mr.. Foxall built
the Foundry Methodist Church
at Fourteenth and G streets
NV. In later years a new edi-
fee was built on Sixteenth street
above Scott Circle, the present
site. &C. B. J.

been kicked out of the Southern
college for something that was
not his fault and double-croSSed
further by the subservient presi-
dent, so that he is unable to
get decent job when he reaches
New York. When the youth

natural prey of an organization
which the author calls the
Brotherhood. It is obviously
the Communist Party. Mr.. FL
lison may have had his reason
for calling it something else.
The youths brilliance as an ora
tor and an organizer is used by
the Brotherhood. In the end
he discovers, as so many have,
that it is not interested in help
ing the Negro, but merely in
using him to stir up trouble.
Its white organizers do not see
color-white, black or yellow

face-they see merely a symbol.
a cipher in their schemes. For
them there are no individuals.
The story reaches a climax in
the Harlem riots, and here Mr..
Ellison'S writing attainS peak
of power. There is even fan
tastic humor within the cruelty
and bloodShed. A character
called Ras the Exhorter, a leader
from North Africa. who is fight
ing the Brotherhood and urging
his own brand of militant unity,
is a ridiculous figure astride a
black horse, carrying shield and
spear, wearing the skin of a
wild animal.
The flavor and idiom of Har-
lem are conveyed in rich detail.
There are brutal episodes and
rough language in the course
of the narrative, but these never
seem dragged in to make the
story shocking or sensational.
The novel is a remarkable
achievement. &C. B. J.

Murder Through the Looking
Glass. BY Andrew Garvel.
Harper & Bros; $2.50.)
Correspondent George Ver-
ney, en- route to Moscow, be-
comes mildly entangled with a
British peace" delegation. That
gives him a chance to examine
the underlying motives of these
Stalin-worshipers. Later. with
the help of the few remaining
correspondents, he measures
these motives against murder.
How the Communists and the
peace delegates react to the
murder provides the author with
a flrst-rate opportunity to por-
tray the calculated cynicism of
the Reds and the stubborn
blindness of the fellow travellers.
He makes the most of it.

Through the eyes of the five

lowing the murder of Kate
Ballou are revealed. The beau
tiful, confident Kate, it devel-
ops, meant something different
to each of her neighbors. She
was varlously a promise, a
threat and a dream. The author
is skilled enough to make each
of the five first-person nara
tives self-revealing while con-
cealing to the end the identity
OF the killer.

BY Bell Irwin Wiley. (Bobbs-

This is a companion volume

pattern of the typical Union SOL
dier from a vast array of let
terS, diaries and reports from
various sources. The author
travelled $4,000 miles and vis-
tied "a States to obtain the ma
terial. The excerpts from let
terS written home are particu-
larly interesting. They give a
composite idea of the Yankee
private and noncom fighting,
marching. at drill, at play, his
morale sometimes shattered,
at other times soaring. 1t is sur
priSing to find that some of the
military catch words, phrases
and songs still in use date back
to the Civil War. The iEustra-
tions include rare photographs
OF life in camp and on battle
fields. Mr.. Wiley is professor of
