Missing

Missing
BY Egon Hostovsky. (The
Viking Press: $3.)
This superior thriller about
the disappearance of a good
man on the eve of the Commu-
mist seizure of Czechoslovakia is
superior on several counts. The
writing is crisp and sure; the
characters right down to the
merest walk-on vividly drawn;
it makes several points about
conflicting ideologies without
preaching.
The central figure, Paul Kral,
never appears directly in the
book. He is seen only through
the eyes of his friends, who
love him. suffer for him
and only now and then
doubt his motives. Kral wants
to go to America for purely
personal reasons. His visa is
held up because the Communist
dominated foreign ministry
can't fathom his politics, and an
American military attache wants
to insure his cooperation with
military intelligence. Kral Is
that rare thing, an uncom-
mitted man. and therefore q
great prize to both sides.
Mr.. Hostovsky is disenchanted
about police-State methods and
describes the fatal import of the
flicker Of an eyelaSh In the
highest echelon of the faceless
men. He is q past-master at
showing the wheels -withinl
wheels intrigue of a company
of spies and counterspies. The
suspense is skillfully and lucidly
built up. as the good and the
bad and the weak unwittingly
play into each others hands.
In all, Mr.. Hostovsky's novel
can be as highly recommended
as one of those excellent Eng
lish chase films. wherein much
is revealed about people and
nobody is the less entertained
for it. M. McGA

This is a literal transcription
of life amid a large Irish
Catholic clan in Buffalo during
the dizzy '20s. Actually. the
Shanahans did not need the
madness of the Jazz Age to de-
rail them, Several of their
members are utterly confused
as to their rights and duties,
and are torn between earthly
pleasures and the dictates of
the church. Mr.. Dooley has
reproduced faithfully several
set-pieces such as q wake and
political clambake. He has also
introduced recognizable types
such as old biddies who are
quick to Judge and alert to re-
arrange other peoples lives.
The shortcoming of the book
is Mr.. Dooley's preoccupation
with his characters rather
tailor-made dilemmas to the
neglect of their personalities.
It is also notable for a complete
lack of humor. In such a pack,

Fine Literary Portrait May

Love Is a Wound
BY Worth Tuttle Hedden (Croapn; $375J
Reviewed by Garter Brooke Jones

The picture of a Methodist
preacher which emerges from
this novel is one of the finest
literary portraits of recent
times.
The story Of the domestic
cross he bears SO CALAMITY, be-
cause he is shackled to two
warning women. the wife he
adores and her neurotic sister,
who is in love with him, is de-
veloped with complete under
standing.
The changing panorama of
life in small North Carolina
towns between 1884 and 1884
is sketched with sure strokes
as background for the central
figures in the drama.
Mrs. Hedden has written a
first-rate novel despite its ap-
palling length. This unneces-
sary prolixity Of detail may not
be objected to by readers who
find themselves enthralled in a
completely natural story and
don't mind reading on for days.
but it must be considered in
weighing a work of fiction as
an artistic entity. Admittedly
the many pages of small in
cident and trivial talk help es-
tablish the tone and color of
the narrative and its charac-
ters, but the same effect could
have been achieved at half the
length.
Human and LikobIe
Yet the defects seem small
beside the authors achievement.
The Rev. David Humiston is
one Of the few priests or min
listers in modern fiction who are
neither charlatans nor saints.
He is a sincere follower Of
Christ, .devout without being
sanctimonious; a very human
and likeable person. He is q

his career when he felt a call.
An appealing preacher and a
lovable man. he failed to be-
come more than pastor of the
smaller churches in the less inn

He took his Christianity too
seriously to pull his punches
and fail to speak out for justice
and decency wherever he saw
them. There was his domestic
situation. He and his wife

The government is waiting to
see how Israel will be affected by
the shouting Of nationalist mobs
which can be h e ard from the
Strait Of Gibraltar to the Cas-
plan Sea.
In Tunisia, Morocco, Egypt,
Iran, and elsewhere in the Mid
die East the masses are scream
ing slogans of hate against the
United States, Great Britain, and
France. The Soviet Union is ex-
plotting the situation by pouring
oil on the flames of Arab nation
alism while Israel watches and
wonders what all this will bring.
The Russians have goaded
Arab nationalists against the

but have not taken up the Arab
case against Israel. Perhaps this
is because the Kremlin believes

of some Arab leaders who collab-
Grated with Hitler and Mussolini.
The Soviets recall that less
than 100000 Israelis defeated
the military forces of Arab ma
tons populated by more than 49,
100000. The Politburen strate-
gists have no desire to unneces-
Sarily antagonize Israel by sup
porting the Arabs against the
Jewish State. Such Soviet action
would bring the Reds no parti-
cular benefit. It would only serve
to further ALLEVIATE the people of
Israel and Jews everywhere at a
time when the Soviets are still
trying to depict themselves as
friends of all minority groups.
While many American news
papers still point to Israel as the
cause of all the Vests woes in the
Middle East. there is a growing
realization of the falseness of this
premise. Israel is one of the few
