George Simenon is great story
teller. In this book he sometimes
allows his artistry to be inter

This volume contains recipes for
2S2 salads. and that's lot of rab-

A goodly portion of them are
favorites of various British and
American theatre and other per-
sonalities.
Now there Is no logical dietetical
or biological reason why a tomato

rison, or another suggested by Bob
Hope, should taste better than one
rustled UP by the lady at the church

But there are q lot Of good solid
Illogical and sentimental reasons
why they are better. When Mrs.
Jones can serve the chicken and
mushroom salad for her luncheon

guests that it is Bing Crosby's fav-
orite, something of the crooner's
glamour enters into the 2 cups OF

(AcT OF PASSION by Georges
Simenon psychological murder
novel translated from the French
by Louis Vearese, published by
Prentice Hall Publishing Co., 2S0
pp)
Eroticism and murder have for
a long time been running neck to
neck In the novels Of the French
author, Georges Simenon. In this
book, eroticism wins by a hun
dred yards.
A murder has occurred before the
novel begins, and the reader knows
unquestionably the identity of the
killer.
A letter written by the murderer
to the Judge responsible for his be-
ing on trial. is the fiction technique
used to tell the story. First the
murderer briefly describes his rea-
sons for believing the recipient of
the letter to be a kindred soul. He
then cuts back to his own child
hood and adolescence, and to his
parents influence on his early
life.
He was raised In French pro-
vincial town. His father was q
great lusty French farmer who
drank q lot. The fellow was al
ways finding 1t necessary to sell a
piece of his land 10 pay some wo'
man for the privilege Of being the
father Of her illegitimate child. His
mother was a gentle lady who
never seemingly questioned her
husbands or her sons right TO do
as they pleased and who spent her
life loving and serving them.
At the age Of Is the teller OF the
story received his medical degree,
and became a country doctor.
After about ten years his first wife
died, and he moved into another
practise in a small provincial city.
Following these preliminaries,
the murderer proceeds with q bed
by bad description of all the erotic
incidents Of his life. Included in
the entoGrage Of his bedfellows are
two wives. 4 mistress. several
servant girls and a dozen or so
leading ladies' for one or two night
stands.......or would q horizontal
noun be more appropriate here?

DON'T LET US FORGET EVERYBODY HAS
RIGHT TO VOTE AS HE PLEASES

Tt is not only hard but seemingly impossible also for
some people, strong supporters of Stevenson Eisenhow
to appreciate the fact that every mans belongs
to him. That unsound attitude manifested garingly
by the tenor Of letter published in The Citizen few
days ago.

AT TRUMAN SCHOOL

The value of ungraded primary
organization of the first three years
of school is being learned by Mon
roe county teachers in intensive
sessions on the subject closing to-
day.
Miss Charlotte Stienhans and
Miss Ethel Holmes, state consul
tantS in elementary education, are
well pleased with the response Of
county teachers to their discussions
yesterday, they told The Citizen
today.
This afternoon they were meet
ing with private kindergarten
teachers and first grade county
teachers to discuss correlation of
the programs Of each.
Ungraded primary organization
means that there is no first, second
and third grade, Miss Stienhans
said.
"About IS per cent Of Florida
schools are following this practice
now. It means that children do
not have q feeling of failure IL
they fail to move on from one
grade TO another. Instead M mark
ing them as first, second or third
graders, they are known as pupils
Of a certain room or teacher" " she
explained.
Children who are slower In their
formal reading ability than others
can remain In the same class until
they catch up. without notice from
other pupils. At the same time

At the end Of the third year n
school . pupil would either move
on to the fourth grade, or barring
that remain in the ungraded pri.
mary organization until he is
ready. Even then his chances of
feeling failure and discourage
ment would be less than today, be-
cause he viii not have had the
sense Of undue competition in the
earlier three years, Miss Stienhans
said.

turned to shore.
A search plane from Boca Chica
combed the area yesterday with
out success. Coast Guard head
quarters here have been constant
ly trying to reach the original
source Of the report, Mrs. Noecker
to learn If by any chance he was
found and not reported.
The Gulf is so rough that his
chances for survival are slim, par
ticularly since he is elderly and
alone, 1t was said.
The Coast Guard can't get any
OF It's boats into the water where
the octogenarian is presumed mis-
sing because It Is too shallow,
they said.
Long was staying on the Keys
and going out alone fishing, until
