A Nostalgia Novel
FARAWAH THE SPRING

PARKWAY The SPR1NG
BY Richard Hagopian. (Charles
Scribner's Sons; $2.75.J
This is one of those gentle,
nostalgia novels in the "A Tree
Grows in Brooklyn" tradition,
about an Armenian immigrant
family living in hope and
squalor. Setrak Dinjyan, the
father, shoestitcher. is a little
man, literally as well as socio-
logically-so little. in fact, that
when he sits at the bar, his feet
do not reach the brass rail.
Nor does Setrak compensate
in moral stature. Life in the
Chelsea, Mass, tenement where
the Dinjyans huddle together.
offers a rich assortment of
temptations and Illustrations.
Only at the tavloo board does he
prevail. and even there he meets
defeat.
Mr.. Hagoplan rather arbitra-
rily rescues the Dinjyans from
the misery of the fathers folly.
A lonesome stranger provides
the answer to all their troubles
Although PARKWAY the Spring
has several affecting scenes and
reveals a sensitive understanding
of immigrant problems and at
tltudes. it has neither the bind
ing theme nor dominating char
acter to make it memorable.

ELIZABETH THE QUEEN
BY Marion Crawford. (Pren-
tice-Hal, Inc; $2.75.)
Though not authorized, this
story of England's brand-new
Queen by her former governess
is pious enough to be an Of
fetal biography. It seems mainly
a rewrite of the authors earlier

few hastily added chapters
bringing Elizabeth to the mo-
ment of accession. There are
excellent photographs.

Love Is Light
THE AGE OF LIGHT

1EE ALE OF LlGHI
BY Donald Wetzel. (Crown, ;
$780,
Mr.. Wetzel is a thoughtful
young writer of decided talent.
He proved this in his first novel,
"A Wreath and a Curse" a
story with an original approach
and sharp impact. Unfortu-
nately the simplicity of design
and brevity which made that
symbolic story memorable are
lacking in his second novel.
1.-THE Age of Light" concerns
youth and a girl who met on
college campus and are in love.
They explore their lives in an
effort to read some meaning and
purpose in them. The girls
family consisted of a fat, frus-
trated father, a mother who
took lovers on the side, a
brother who never made a go of
anything and another brother
who was mentally retarded.
Her young man was founding
reared by foster parents. When
they died he left to see the
world, cumming his way. There
are a few other characters in
volved in the couples past. They
fit in and out of the story,
each in turn occupying the
stage and returning later. There
is sensitive. keen writing in
these passages. but they are too
heavy, too repetitious and too
prolonged. It is impossible to sus-
tain interest in the interminable
founderings of people who were
not very interesting to start
with. Even the idiot boy gives
his impressions many times.
Mr.. Wetzel seems to have lost
himself in a wilderness of
words. It will not be surprising
If readers find it hard to follow
him. Let's hope that next time
he returns to his earlier style.

One Of history's unsolved-

he does give a clear and bal

form his own judgment whether

RETURNS FROM sheep flocks in
the year ahead probably will not
show any marked change, but lamb
feeding is likely to be substantially
more profitable than in the past sea
son.
Sheep have not paid as well as
generally expected last fall. Wool
prices already sharply below the
March, 1851, peak at that time have
suffered a further drop of 20 to IS
cents grease pound. With poultry,
beef and veal more plentiful, prices
for dressed lamb are somewhat lower
than year ago. Lamb marketing
margins between producer and con-
sumner probably have widened. They
may have been abnormally narrow
a year ago due to wholesale and re-
tail price ceilings.
Part of the prosperity in 1851 was
due to the fact that sheepmen and
lamb feeders were bidding prices up
on themselves. Demand for breed
ing and feeding stock was terrific.
The supply left for slaughter was IA
percent lower than in 1850 and low
est in the record back to 1899 Hence,
lambs brought record high prices.
Breeder Demand Less
While numbers of stock sheep in
creased only 2 percent in 1851, partly
because of drouth-induced drop of
10 percent in Texas, the number on
feed on Jan. 1, 1852, was up IS per-
cent. AS more fed lambs came to
market and wool prices continued to
drop, lamb prices fell With lower
lamb and wool prices, demand for
breeding and feeding stock cooled
off, allowing more lambs and sheep
to go to slaughter. In January July
this year, commercial slaughter of
sheep and lambs was about % per-
cent greater than year previous.
The national average farm price
of lambs dropped from $298O cwt
in September, 1851, to $3.50 last
March, instead of having their usual
( seasonal rise Finishers took heavy
losses and probably had their worst
season since 1937-38.
The general level of lamb
prices in the next few months
probably will continue lower
than a year previous. but. after
nidwinter. prices in 1853 may be
somewhat better than this year.
This years lamb crop was only
2 percent larger than in 1851.

Sheep, Lamb Outlook
Little Change Likely in Flock Retnns;
Lamb Feeding May Be More Protitab!le
b. GILBERT GUSLER, Marker Aaalyst

but the proportion withheld for
breeding and feeding probably
will be less than last fall. SO that
slaughter in the next few
months may continue greater
Than in 1851.
With fewer likely to be placed on
feed, slaughter supplies in the first
few snonths of 1858 may be smaller
than this year. The early lamb crop
next year is likely to be slightly
larger than this year and may be re-
Elected in slightly larger slaughter
next spring and early summer.
Demand for lamb probably will
not show any marked change in the
next IL months. Consumer income
may be much the same. Beef sup
plies are likely to be larger, but the
poultry supply may be less than in
the past year. Pork supplies prob
ably will be off Z to 8 percent.
Wool prices, which affect the value
of lambs on the hoof, probably will
not change much. The government
wool-support loans will prevent any
serious decline, On the other hand,
world wool production apparently is
adequate for demand at current
levels, so that no basis is evident
for any pronounced rise.
Costs May Be High
Lamb growing costs probably will
be as high as or a little higher than
in the past season. Breeding stock
requirements will cost considerably
less, but the combined cost of hay
and concentrates is likely to be
higher. Costs of other supplies and
labor are likely to be up slightly.
The lamb feeding prospect
looks rather promising 70 this
observer. Prices for feeder lambs
are 81 TO SO cwf. below the
average level of last fall. Feed
costs. especially for hay. prob
ably will be up little and other
costs may be up slightly. Fed
lambs probably viii average
about as high as last winter.
Here's a rough calculation on the
way the feeding outlook shapes up
Feeder lambs at Omaha are about
$24 cwt., so that 7O-pound feeder
lamb would cost about $780, AL
lowing 21s bushels of corn and Isl

Next Few Days Expected To Make or Break Korean Truce Talks

MUNSAN, (P)-The Commun- ists are expected to call for an armistice meeting in the next few days which may make or break Korean truce talks.
 The outcome will depend on Communist reaction to a secret United Nations package offer.
 Dispatches from Washington quoted Allied diplomats as say ing the proposal handed Com munist negotiators Sunday is about the last offer we can make"
 The Washington view was that there is a 50-50 chance the offer would lead to an actual armistice or an ultimate breakdown of the prolonged talks. It all depends on the decision reached in Red capi- tals where the plan is being studied.
 Officials in Washington private ly agreed the secret package offer was a three-point program keyed to the LIN. demand for "non-forc- ible repatriation" of prisoners of war, which the Reds repeatedly have called a "preposterous de- mand."
 Washington dispatches indicated the Allied package deal would CD allow the Red S to rebuild North Korean military airfields during a truce if @ the Commun- ists accept the JUN. principle for prisoner exchange and (3 drop their nomination of Russia as a neutral nation" to help police an armistice.

Massachusetts Vote Closes Gap Between Taft and
 Ike in Race for Delegates
By RELMAN MORIN

BOSTON, (P) - Gen. Eisen- hower's popular vote total passed the 229,O0O mark in the Massa- chusetts primary Wednesday, and a near-sweep of the delegate cleo tions virtually closed the gap be- tween him and Sen. Taft in their nationwide race for the Republi- can presidential nomination.
 It was almost a shut-out by Eisenhower, his most convincing primary victory of any todate.
 Along with his overwhelming count in the Republican election, Eisenhower also got big Demo- cratic vote, big enough to put him in second place behind Sen. Ke- fauver, the expected winner.
 When reporters gave him the figures, at an airport in Frank furt, Germany, the general grin ned and said, "Is that good?" later in Paris he said the results were "an overpowering sort of thing. It has begun to look kind of serious"
 Massachusetts has 38 COP con- vention votes, and Eisenhower Wednesday has 29 of them as a result of the 27 victories and two previously allotted by agreement.
 Eisenhower's nation wide dele gate total moved up to 265 as a result of the added delegates. Three more for Taft put his tally at 268 although his managers are claiming 305.

Cinema River Ice Goes Out at 2::43 pm. Tuesday

FAIRBANKS, .(P)-The ice on the Cinema River went out at 2:43 pm. Tuesday.
 The ice, which appeared to be aground due to unusually low water in the Cinema, went out suddenly when the river began to rise. The pylon tripped the clock arrangement and then was swept far on downstream.
 Oldtimers here immediately predicted that the Panama River ice at Nenana would go out within a week. Generally, the ice moves at Nenana within seven days after the Chena breakup, the Cinema being a tributary of the Panama.
 Nine thousand, six hundred and seventy-four persons had entered a contest to guess the time that the ice would move. Julian Shel- lum of Fairbanks, and a Star Cab group were the closest guessers.
