The Life and Death of Stain

A William Irish collection is
always notable for variety as
well as solid writing. This one
is no exception. These seven

painful suspense to straight de-

Like his famous play Of mar
ried life, "The Fourposter," Mr..
de Hartog's first novel is COM
posed of familiar materials.
Quite simply. it Is the story of
sailor who finds love and purpose
in the worst days of the war and
loses both with the coming of
peace. Once again. it is Mr.. de
Hartog's playful humor and
warm humanity which makes a
much discussed subject seem
fresh.
His hero. the Skipper, is an
amusing, lovable young Dutch
man who refuses to take himself
seriously, even when he takes
command in action at sea. He
admits that duty on a scarcely
armed tugboat assigned to res
cuing ships left behind by con-
voys frightens and bewilders
him. And as soon as he meets
Stella, his friend Oops girl, he
wants more than anything to
have a love of his own to kiss his
fears away. The dream comes
true sooner than he expected,
for when Dop is killed he moves
in to Oops fiat and Stella's life

All Mr.. Fischer's forecasts
are, naturally. speculation. And
yet he was an American cor
respondent in Russia for IA
years and was ally
acquainted with many of the
important figures in the Soviet
picture. Thus his prophecies
are more than theories.
He doubts that, meanwhile,

has been to equalize the balance
between his sphere and the free
world by prolonged, wasteful
guerrilla wars in non-Soviet
countries or colonies or by en-
couraging, If not fomenting,
social upheavals. Another ma
jor conflict might be a gamble
with Russia's national existence.
The author also recalls that
Stain has backed down where
we defled him. as in Greece and
Berlin. and has refrained from
spreading the Korean fight into
a world war.
Best Portroit Of Stolin
The bulk Of this searching
book, leading to the conclusions
summarized, is probably the
best portrait of Stain ever
drawn-a likeness that takes in
his personal and official life
from his earliest years. 1t is a
remarkable study, cracking
with Quotable phrases.
Mr.. Fischer Is not inclined to
blame any one too much for our
failures in dealing with Russia.
He does blow up the idea, en-
tertained at times by Presidents
Roosevelt and Truman and some
Of their advisers, that "old Joe"
or Uncle Joe" is a prisoner Of
the Politbureau. It is rather,
you gather, that the Politbureau
is Stalin's prisoners. Perhaps
the most powerful and ruthless
dictator in history, Stain is a
lonely man: che cannot COM
mand a single heart" He is only
hated and feared, inside and
outside Russia. He has no mag
netism. He has only a genius
for organization.
If you have any interest in
the state Of the world, you can
hardly afford to overlook this
book.
