The Future of American

BY Samuel Lubell. (Harper &
Bros; $780,
Although he pays lip-service
to the theory that it is danger
Gus to generalize too much
about racial or occupational
groups, Mr.. Lubell has based his
book largely on an analysis OF
their voting habit. Just why
he should entitle his summary
1.-The Future of American Poll
tics" is something of a mys-
terry, since easily nine-tenths of
it is based on the immediate
past.
MIR. Lubell starts off with a
rather harsh summary of Mr..
Truman's tenure in the White
House, and then goes on to in
vestigate the shifting political
loyalties of the various groups
who put him there. What he
says finally is that there are
now more Democrats than Re-
publicans in the United States
because the Democrats have
identified themselves more
closely with the aspirations of
wage earners on their way to
the middle class. negroes, farm
ers and Catholics-even though
they are capable of turning on
the party in off years to pro-
duce a Republican Congress and
a series of stalemates in Gov
ernment. He gives samples of
spot interviews and many sta
tistics to bolster his contention.
It is all very interesting,
lively, and Of course, timely.
Unfortunately, some doubts
as to the accuracy of the
conclusions may arise from
several glaring errors of
fact in the text. For instance.
even the most cursory copy
reading should have picked up
the fact that the present Sena-
tor from Massachusetts, is the
grandson (not the SOM of Hen
ry Cabot Lodge, and that Sena-
tor Nixon's first name is Rich
ard mot RUSSELL.

Confessions of q Poet
BY Paul Verlaine. With a
preface by Martin L. Wolf.
Philosophical Library: $3.)
There is very little OF "confes-
sion" in these random, rambling
biographical notes of Verlaine.
He did not live to write about
the mad days Of his prime as a
writer. These early jottings add
nothing to his reputation or to
an understanding of his strange
genius.

The Merle Miller
Report on Radios
Reign of Terror

The Judges and the Judged
BY Merle Miller. Doubleday
& Co.; $780,
This report on the blacklist
ing in radio and television was
prepared by Novelist Merle Mil
Ter at the behest of the Ameri-
can Civil Liberties Union. It
gives a depressing picture of a
huge industry held in thrall by
three ex-FBI agents who exer-
else a virtual veto power on hir-
, ing through a booklet called
Red Channels" This consists
of list of Isl writer's,
actors. singers. dancers, pro-
ducers and network executives
who are or have been at one
time connected with organiza-
tions the editors alleged to be
Communist.
The existence of the list was
first brought to public attention
by the firing of Jean Muir, a
radio actress who was a listee.
Since, then, Mr.. Miller says.
many other listees have either
been dropped or rejected for the
same reason. although it is never
admitted any more. you're
either too young or too DID,"
was one listee's way of explain
ing his steady failure to get
work since his name first ap-
peared in Red Channels" It
is possible. it appears, for a
listee to clear himself of Red
Channels" charges through
"Counterattack," a highly prof.
liable newsletter put out by the
same editors, who offer their
clients an investigating" serv-
ice as we'll. They have pointed
out that the listee, after his
name has appeared, can always
appeal to them for an interview
in the hope of clearance-a
rather dubious comfort for some
one whose reputation and career
are ruined,
Mr.. Miller'S account of the
"Red Channels" editors pro-
cedures (Which fall far short Of
minimum newspaper standards)
is no less disturbing than his
contention that radio with the
exception of ABC'S president,
Robert Kinter) has completely
capitulated to this quiet little
reign of terror. AS Radio Col
umnist John Crosby put it. the
industry's motto might we'll be,
I'VE just don't want no trouble
around here"
THE Judges and the Judged
is, naturally, of considerable
moment to any one concerned
with the preservation of civil
liberties. It's appeal may be linn
tied, however, by a rather dis
organized and over detailed
presentation. The files of ACLU
would require such verbatim re-
ports; the general public prob
ably would prefer to have them
compressed bit.

Music and Architecture

The familiar statement that
architecture is frozen music"
suggests a certain kinship in the
painting, water colors. drawings
and Autographs on Music and
Architecture" by Prentiss Taylor,
which opened in the gallery of
the American Institute of Arch
itects the end of March, to re-
main through next Sunday.
Customarily closed on week
ends. the gallery will be open
next Saturday and Sunday from
2 to 6.
Nearly 40 works provide a
retrospective exhibition of MI.
Taylor's past decade. as regards
the two themes. Many have
been seen before in local shows,
but bringing them together
demonstrates how much time
and interest the artist has de-
voted to the spatial representa-
ton of a time-art.
There is considerably more
variety than the shows title
may suggest. There are care
fully detailed paintings and
prints of bands, string quartets,
pianists and violinists perform
ing, as we'll as ink drawings Of
similar subjects. A complete
catalogue available at the gall
lery includes a comprehensive
statement by Mr.. Taylor, who
says that the representations of
specific musicians do not pre-
tend to portraiture." Persons
acquainted with them can form
their own conclusions.

The Worlds First Love
BY Fulton J. Sheen. (McGraw.
Hill Book Co.; $780,

AAteS @OS1 w., pO.OU"
Reviewed by Cospor Names
Bishop Sheen once again re-
veals his mastery of the written
as well as his power with the
spoken word in this volume
analyzing the different aspects
of love.
The Catholic prelate studies
the subject in and of itself, and
then relates love to the world
in which it exists. Mary,
mother of Christ, is the center
of the writer's thought. From
her he moves into a discussion
of how the secularist and the
devout view love. and does so
with a wealth of Illustration and
anecdote that lifts the problem
from a prosaic study to an ex-
citing narrative. The many
followers of Bishop Sheen will
here find a worthy addition to
his previous works. New read
ers will undoubtedly discover a
writer whose attraction is great
even when his views do not al
ways fit theirs.

This Is Democracy
At the Crossroads
The Irony of American

BY Reinhold Niebuhr. (Scyib-
ner's; $780,
A leading historian and
theologian sees a deep irony in
Americas position today. This
republic. established as refuge
for ordinary people, who could
live their lives remote from the
tyrannies of Europe, has become
one of the two leading world
powers. In challenging the other
great power we are in danger
of losing the qualities which
made our country great. The
Soviet force, meanwhile, has
adopted the slogans of democ-
racy on which we built and per-
verted them into autocracy-
another irony. Our foreign pol
icy> he says, is Threatened with
a kind of apoplectic rigidity and
inflexibilty." Fear and hatred
are hardly enough. If the
threatened conflict should break
out. "the non-Communist world
would be in danger of destroy
ing itself as a moral culture in
the process of defending itself
physically" and he mentions
the atomic bomb. He is aware
of the responsibility of the
American to his community and
of his country to the free world,
but he realizes equally the dan
ger of crushing individuality
under a weight of governmental
authority. DR.. Niebuhr has writ
ten a stimulating and well-bal-
anced book.

Samuel Bookotz Show
At IFA Galleries
By Florence S. Bergman

Recent paintings by Samuel
Bookatz make a handsome ex-
hibition at the IFA Galleries,
opened last week end, to remain
through April 20. AS Hermann
w. Williams jr.. director of the
Corcoran Gallery of Art. says in
his foreword to the catalogue of
this show. it is "a revealing dem
onStration of how Mr.. Bookatz
has progressed in his expert
mentation in the last four years"
(since his one-man show at the
Corcoran was in the quartet
which inaugurated that gall
lery's series of solo exhibitions
by contemporary American art
iStSD.
The current exhibition at the
IFA Galleries is composed of
IA canvaSes. eight of them in
spired by architectural themes,
the others divided between still
life and heads and figures. All
are administrations, which re-
veal the sources of their inspira-
ton. The architectural paint
ings are distinguished by jewel
like colorS and intricate angular
patterns with strong feeling
of verticality in most instances,
provided by soaring spires and
SkyScraperS. Outstanding are
Newport Ii G h hthouse" an d
"Chimes." the latter with details
of ecclesiastical architecture and
iridescent colors.
Paintings with young women
as themes ("Madonna, Girl and
Vase" etc. also stress vertical
ity in elongated forms. These
paintings are poetic and mys-
tical, in fresh subdued colorS.
The two still-life arrangements
zone of which was sold the OPEN
ing day. are monochromatic in
effect, and reminiscent of early
cubiSt works.
The many prizes bestowed on
Mr.. Bookatz' work, the one-man
shows and important group ex-
hibitionS to which he has con-
tributed and other details of
his career are we'll known in
Washington.
