The Kolbecks are titled.
military family. The son of the
aged count and countess is a
general, one of his sons. a
colonel. The story is told by
Gen. Julius Kolbeck's daughter
tn-law Stefanie, a Ruthenian
outsider, never really accepted
by the proud family, though she
grew up as an adopted daughter.
Stefanie is of peasant stock and
was taken in when her mother,
who lived on the Kolbeck estate,
was killed mysteriously. Stefanie
grew up to marry Casimir, son
of the general and Sandra.
When Stefanie and Casimir
separated, the young woman ran
of with another son. Victor.
now a colonel, and they were
married in Holland. The gen.
eral finds himself for religious
reasons unable to accept this
second union as even q valid
marriage.
There is q strain within the
family when Stefanie takes
refuge at the familiar manor
house with Annette, her 15-
year-old daughter by Casimir,
who is in a foreign country.
Stefanie, too, will soon bear the
child Of Victor, who has gone
of to fight the Germans. First
the Germans overrun the Kol-
beck estate. Later they with
draw and the Poles traditional
enemy, the Russians, come. The
Russians take the Kolbecks
away, along with thousands Of
their countrymen, to work in
mines and industries. In the
hunger and hardship of their
forlorn wanderings, the en-
nifty between Stefanie and the
family is eased into trust and
understanding. AS the story
ends, the captive Poles have
been sent across the Caspian
Sea to Iran and a new Polish
army under Gen. Anders formed
to join the Allies in fighting the
Germans.
In telling the story through
Stefanie's eyes, Mr.. Hutchin-
son has shown a remarkable
capacity to search the heart Of
q woman. He reveals also a
comprehension Of Poland and
her patriots which must be rare
in a foreigner. There are epi-
sodes almost unbearably poig-
nant and these are told with a
simplicity which adds to their
impact. Mr.. HutchinSon's last

Polk. The Diary of a
President, 7S45-1S4o

Edited by Allan Nevins. (Long-
mans, Green; $6.J
While James K. Polk,s diary
was published in four volumes
in 1910, the edition was limited
to 500 copies and probably has
been seen by few except ad-
vanced students of American
history. Prof. Nevins has made
a selection of items from that
work which seemed to him Of
most general interest and has
added the necessary explana-
tory notes.
Mr.. Nevins is one of several
younger historians who have
tried to lift President Polk's
reputation to a higher place
than it was held by contempo-
raries and by scholars of the
succeeding decades. But the
Columbia professor comedies
that Mr.. Polk's personality was
hardly inspiring, whatever his
achievements.
It would require a close study
of the period to evaluate many
OF the entries relating to Mr..
Polk's part in the broader pol
lcies of his day. There is, how
ever, ample evidence in the
diary of a narrow, partisan and
vindictive man. The President
could never forgive Zachary
Taylor for becoming a national
hero because of his spectacular
victories in the Mexican War.

election to the presidency was
received. Mr.. Polk wrote that it
was deeply to be regretted"

kindlier toward the head Of the

Journey With Strangers

One of England's ablest writer's
has written a massive. memora-
BILE novel around the plight Of
the Poles after they were over
whelmed by the Germans and
the Russians in 1889.
Such large-Scale tragedies of
the war have appealed to many
writer's. The result has been
factual books and novels of
varying merit. Journey With
Strangers" is not merely an
other in the series. Mr.. Hutch
inson has been concerned not so
much with trying to describe
what happened to a whole ma
ton as with depicting a family
enduring a devastating whim of
history. He has explored the
psychological effects on every
member of the aristocratic Kol-
beck clan. In relating the Kol-
beckS' adventures he has nee
essarily brought in many other
characters and the whole atmos-
phere surrounding the displace-
ment Of large segments of the
population, their heartbreaking
exodus as captives of the Rus
slams and their final release
when the NaziS attacked Rus
sia and the Soviet government
felt it could use the Poles.
The novel is realistic in de-
tail, but never descends to vul-
garity; it is artistic, written with
beauty and fine understanding.

In Americas so recent era of

author, widely known journal
lSt and economist, points out.
Mr.. Garrett knew Mr.. Ford
well and held the Industrial

not a biography. nor is it the
story of the Ford empire. It
is, between the lines, a little
OF both, but it is more a study
of MIR. Ford's place in an Amer
lean pattern which was chang
ing even as events in the early
decades of the century fitted it
together.
Mr.. Ford, as you gather from
Mr.. Garrett, was strange mix
ture of wisdom and ignorance,

OF the great businessmen of
modern times and yet as much
a victim as a master of free
enterprise at it's zenith. When
in 1914 he announced a mini

he had to make a god of the

The Case Against
PsychoonoIysis
BY Andrew Salter.

BY Andrew Salter. (Henry
Holt 6 Co.; $780,
Mr.. Salter, a psychologist
himself, presents with some heat
arguments against Freudian
psychoanalysis that many people
have set forth from the Begin
ming. His main objection is that
the insight gained from delving
into the past does not necessar-
lily guarantee improvement in
the patients present difficulties.
AS he says. these guided tours
through the unconscious can
often lead only to an unhealthy
preoccupation with psychic
symptoms. AS for Ereud's basic
premises about castration and
Oedipus complexes, Mr.. Salter,
in an unfortunately jeering
manner, keeps reminding us
that Freud was serious about
them. No one who has seen
the serious consequences of
these beliefs in life and letters
could has ever questioned that.
Freud's followers claims that he
discovered the unconscious Mr..
Salter dismisses. Freud simply
sexualized the unconscious, he
says. Finally, Mr.. Salter con-
tends that psychoanalysis is
costly, unsettling and unpro-
ductive. A more temperate ap-
proach and a review of case his
tories might have helped to
make his contentious more con-
