COMMERCIAL FISHING FLEET
OPERATING at OREGON INLET

Oregon Inlet.-Flounder fishing
has been very good when weather
conditions recently were favorable
for offshore TRAVELLING, in the Ore
gon Inlet area. As a result, size
able fleet of small trawlers, most
of them from Hatteras and Core
Sound communities, have been bas-
ing at the new piers here at Ore:
gon Inlet recently. Reports from
Ocracoke indicated this week that
number of larger trawlers, many
of them from out of state fishing
ports, were basing in Silver Lake
Harbor and operating off that is
land and in waters near Cape Hat
teras.
1t is impossible for large trawl-
ers to operate out of Oregon Inlet
due to shoally waters. Only very
shallow draft vessels can safely
navigate through the inlet" This
is situation which will eventually
be corrected, if and when the gov
eminent appropriates money nee
essary to develop the project that
has been approved by Army Engi-
neers," said A. H. Ward, chairman
of the Waterways Committee of

that only three pheasants remain
ed in the area.
"And one of those was killed by
tourist during the Christmas hol-

the two remaining birds are mated,
the pheasant crop on Hatteras Is
land is doomed to extinction, I'M

Observe the average ready to-wear

pawky humor in her account, at
other times an appealing pathos.
Unlike most Southern writer's

dramatic racial tensions except
in one final episode. They are
implicit in his book, but under
the surface and rarely domi-

Lilian's story it is that these
tensions can result in tolerant

in the pathetic Carls sense OF

in Lilian's eventual acceptance

Without spelling the story for
anyone, it may be observed that
there are perhaps too many
tragedies in the final chapters;
the last one, in particular, seems

Bertrand Russell
Tells Us All How
To Breathe Freely
NEW HOPES FOR A
CHANGING WORLD


BY Bertrand Russell. (Simon
& Schuster;; So .~
Lord Russell has one capacity
few philosophers have-he can
express himself with simple
clarity. He won the Nobel Prize
for literature in 1850, since the
foundation gives no prize for
philosophy and since, after all,
any written philosophy In q
form of literature.
In this book he pleads for
understanding, tolerance and
freedom from fear as the only
hope for a world threatened
with self-extinction. But he
insists that all this good will
be generated without Christi
anity, toward which he has al
ways been an implacable foe.
He thinks the conviction Of per-
sonal sin Is o hurdle to be
jumped in mans progress to-
ward understanding. Religion
he regards as superstition. He
considers Moscow and Rome
equal enemies Of "the free
mind"
Lord Russell contends that
III America can be induced to
be less truculent, the whole
world will be able to breathe
freely once mere" adding that.
when there Is security there
will no longer be need for o
hostile demeanor in dealing
with Russia"
He comedies that "regimen-
tation and uniformity are dam
gers than an organized indus
trial world will have to fear and
against which it should take
deliberate measures" He adds
that mo society can be great
without great individuals, and I
should not think much Of q
world which has secured uni
versa1 safety at the price Of uni

American University DrowsRecord Crowd
To Retrospective Art Exhibition

Of the university's art depart-
ment. As mentioned in q pre-
liminary notice in these COLI
umns January 6, the show Is
composed of about so works,
mostly paintings, with q few
sculptures and drawings, by
art faculty members and stu
dents.
Every work is distinguished
either by having won q prize
award or honorable mention in
a professional art exhibition in
the past five or six years, or q
scholarship award, or by its
acquisition for q museum or
private collection, or by being
a part Of the permanent collec-
ton slowly growing in memory
of C. Law Watkins.
The exhibition ranges from
traditional to abstract, from
the poetic impressionism Of the
late viii Hutchins. who started
the art department at Ameri-
can University In 1925, to the
abstract expressionism of VIII

THE CATHERINE WHEEL
BY Jean Stafford. (Harcourt,
Brace & Co.; $3.)
Katharine Congreve, q Bos-
ton spinster, was by her own
choice. like q fly in amber. The
clock of her life stopped the
night John Shipley chose her
cousin over her. In her per-
feet and plenteous Maine sum-
mer home, following the ritual
that made her a delight to her
lovers children and the towns
people, she awaits Johns re-
turn from Europe. secure in
the knowledge that after 20
years she has won him back.
Savoring her secret. she en-
tertains unaware an innocent
criminal, her 12-year-old cou-
sin Andrew. Johns son. Poor
Andrew has been supplanted,
too. His adored playmate, an
ugly village urchin, has no time
for him because his sailor
brother is home from sea. The
melancholy, lonesome child
longs for the death Of his rival.
AS one empty day follows an
other, he is haunted by the fear
that his cousin Katharine sus-
poets his dreadful secret. In
time, Katharine becomes con-
vinced that he knows hers.
So it is q duel between two
guilty people. one that reaches
its climax at another summer
fete when Katharine again
watches: the, flaring brilliance Of
the Catherine wheel, her sym
Dol and her cross.
Miss Stafford is one OF our
finest young noyelists. This
novel, while not a major effort,
is brilliant and arresting. show
ing q care for selection and
symbolization which lifts 1t
above its slight theme.
AS for the portrait of Katha-
rine, "untalented and uncom-
promising" beneath her tram
gull. leisured existence eaten up
by jealousy. 1t is a mastery
synthesis of satire and compass
sion. She speaks like q Henry
James heroine: she drives in q
brougham; prunes her shub-
berry with o samurai sword, and
writes her bird ledger with q
quill. When the townspeople
come to call. they do homage
to q genuine parsonage. But
Katharine is frozen in an atti-
tude Of love for D worthless
man. Their romance Is vim
dication for her; only the
presence Of his son can bring It
home to her. The little boy Is
beautifully drawn.
THE Catherine Wheel Is
sumptuously wrought. its style
perfectly suited to the arti-
ficiality Of the heroine's exist
ence and the tension that holds
1t together.

Dorothy Doy, Crusader for Brotherhood. Sees
Mighty Army Of Conscientious Directors
By Mary McGron

Dorothy Day, author of ''The
Long Loneliness" (reviewed on
this page) was a visitor to the
Capital last week. During her
stay she took up some highly
controversial matters with q
large, intent audience at the st.
Peter Claver Center in q notably
quiet way.
Perhaps the most striking
thing about this famed Chris
tian extremist is her mildness.
A fresh-faced kindly woman,
very simply dressed. with white
hair braided around her head,
she talks about raising q
mighty army of conscientious
objectors" as calmly as most
women Of her age and aspect
speak of doing over the living
room.
She mentioned casually that
she would not pay an income
tax (she has only recently be-
come eligible) because she did
not want to support q huge
Federal Governmental which
she disapproves to begin with
and one which. moreover, Is
engaged In an armaments race.
II it comes to q showdown she
would be willing to go to jail.
She's been there before. she told
her listeners with O smile. and
''it would be . nice quiet place
to write" T..
Meanwhile, she continues her
work at the Catholic Worker
House OF Hospitality in. New
York, where the unfortunate Of
all colors and persuasions are
given food, clothes, shelter and
conversation II they want it..
Discussion is obviously the
breath of life to Miss Day. who
incidentally. never uses the first
person singular. The brother
hood Of man Is her great
crusade.
