fIOSSle OGOttOn, lduy TdDDit,
asks Mrs. Roo, a lady kangaroo,
to baby sit for her four Dummies
while she goes to town to buy an
Easter bonnet.
And Immediately Mrs. Roo and
her charges begin to display the
traditional biological pecularities
for which they have become IA
nous. Mrs. Roo baby sits in a
most original fashion. She takes
the four Dummies for a ride in her
famed pouch. And no sooner has
the lady kangaroo gone leaping
over the trees and mountains,
when the Dummies start multiplying
When they stop for lunch in a field
of carrots, the four Dummies have
become eight bunnies.
So Mrs. Roo is subjected to sew
eral indignities. The other ami.
mails give her the very loud rasp-
berry because Of her unusual
pouch cargo. Also the Dummies con-
tinue to multiply in an alarming
fashion, Her pouch, fashioned by
nature to carry q couple Of deli.
cate baby kangaroos also begins
to suffer-.
The devices of the author to get
Mrs. Roo ont of these several en-
barrassing traps are rather arti.
fetal. But everything turns out
happily, even Mrs. Roo's much
abused pouch.

KEY BOOKS
BY A. de I. cINcRAs

(THE RIFT IN THE Lutte by
Noel Langley, Humorous novel,
drawings by Regina Tor, publish
ed by Coward Mccain, Inc, New
York City,
Now and then in the critical per-
ordinations Of a book column, the
reviewer comes upon a novel
which seems to have elements of
greatness. The discovery is an ex-
citing experience.
This books dust jacket says the
authors short stories have been
appearing in such magazines as
Good Housekeeping and Saturday
Evening Post. He has also done
| important film seipts for Holly
wood. But to this reviewer Mr..
Langley was completely new, and
his book a brilliant star among a
lot of very dim ones.
He manages to combine irony,
wit, allegory and fantasy with an
excellent story. And he puts ii all
down in some of the clearest and
| most effective prose this reviewer
has read in a long time.
The hero of the book Is Lao-T,
a Chinese Candide, who was born
| in the year Of the amorous dragon
in the province Of Quitting in the
Middle Kingdom. A child of dispep-
tics parents, when he was sixteen
his mother died choking upon a
fishbone while disparaging his IA
Their to the cook.
The authors device for getting
Lao-Ti started on his Canadian
travels is a capricious concubine.
She refuses to marry the boys
father unless he sends Lao-Ti
away. Whereupon papa tell his son
the gods were all thumbs when
they worked upon him. So he dish
es out a series Of platitudinous
parental clinches of advice, and
sends Lao-Ti on his way.
And so the sixteen year old goes
out into the world. He tangles with
everything from a decadent young
man, to a war lord sired by a
ghoul; from an innocent and beau
tiful servant to a lascivous middle
aged harlot.
BY placing his story in some an
cient Chinese yesterday in a neb.
ulous middle kingdom. Mr.. Lang
ley frees himself from the neces.
sity Of detailed contemporary or
historical props. He places his in.
noeent and youthful hero in q ser.
les of fundamental human situa.
tons as old as the good and eyil
in man. He does not hesitate al
/ the same time to use the license
Of the folk or fairy tale to intro.
duee the supernatural. Because Of
/ the distance away in time Of the
setting, this doesn't disturb the
reader. Foxes becomes ladies and

CHICAGO - (ANP) - An in

of Investigation into Chicago's
most recent racial violence in pro-
test of Negroes moving into a
previously all-White area, has
been requested by the Chicago
Housing Authority this week.
The disturbances conferred
around the home of Donald How

moved into the Trumbull Park
project on July 80, with his wife
and two small children, becoming
the first Negro family to lease an
apartment there in the IA years
of the projects existence.
Sunday, August 9 the first wave
of violence occurred. They con-
tinued all through the week, re-

IN MINNICK CASE

The Department of Justice
Monday authorized the U. S. at
torney's office to turn over a
transcript of the federal case
against Homestead policeman
Paul Y. Minnick to State Attor-
ney George Brautigam
The action is expected TO open
a new investigation by the state
attorney into charges growing out
of the fatal shooting by Minnick
last Christmas Day of Emmett
Jefferson of Homestead.
Brautigam announced in July
that he was tracing a number

carrying Negroes became targets
of stones and bricks. Mobs maSSed
in punches of more than 800.
The irony of the attack on the
Howard family is significant be-
cause of the following facts:
Howard is a Negro who, upon
first glance, could pass as a per-
son of Mexican descent. His wife
Betty, a former telephone opera
tors, could very easily pass as
white.
When the Howards made ap-
plication to enter the lily-white
project, it was approved because
Mrs. Howard, who made the &C
tual bid for the home, was thought
by the clerk to be White. 1t was
not until August 5 that other ten
ants and residents discovered the
truth about the racial origin of
the family.
Violence followed thereafter.

are still on hand to prevent fur

bloodshed. They have blocked off
the entire area, keeping out all
but residents. For a resident to
enter the area, he must present
credentials substantiating that he
lives in the project. Damages have
been estimated at 5000.
Among the Al arrested, Is were
juveniles who were later turned
over to their parents, some of
whom lived in the project.
Meanwhile, the FBI was ask

With summer near, the Cap
ital Camping Association and
United Community Services are
working to make it a happy one
for campers.
The camping association will
take the neXt-to-last step this
year in its four-year plan,
launched in 1850, for establish
ing a system of approval of
camps which will be a guide for
parents. And the Community
Chest agency again is making
lists of camps available.
These lists may be obtained
after May l. singly or together
free of charge. by writing to
the Information and Referral
Department of United Commu-
nifty Services, 11O1 M street NV
One is a list of private camps
which are located all over the
country. but have local repre-
SentativeS: one is a list of local
day camps; the third is a list
of resident camps rim in this
area by organizations. The 10
cation. sex and ages of campers
who may attend, and the per-
son to contact will be included
for each camp.
No attempt has been made
at evaluation. But as result
of Investigations the American
Camping Association will con-
duct this summer, next year
parents will be able to look for
the associations seal of approv-
al when selecting a camp.
This will be the first time a
reliable guide to the quality of
the camp to which they send
their children will be available
to them. Camps are not licensed
as. for example, is the bar
ber shop where young Johnny
gets his hair cut. Most of the
12,600 camps in the country,
which last year served 100000
children, follow the code of
ethics long propounded by the
association. But there is moth
ing to prevent the most mex
perienced, and sometimes un-
scrupulous, person from setting
up a camp-and this has hap
pened.

should be like that. However,
there are so many unnecessary
divorces and so many malad-
justed children because the par
Elephants in the battle tried to
do this without expert help.
When resentments and clashes
in personality are of long stand
ing or deep enough, they become
so camouflaged that they show
themselves in silly ways. It takes
an expert to find the root of
the real trouble. The partici-
pants are unable to see either
themselves or their mates OBJ
jectively.
I receive great many letters
from persons in such situations
and while I am always glad to
help when I feel that I am
equipped to do so, many of these
people need trained psychologi-
cal help.
If your marriage is not what
it should be although the neigh
bors think it is perfect. or if you
are a young married couple be-
wildered because everything
seems wrong and you do not
know why. seek help. See a con-
sulting psychologist or take adj
vantage of the trained help you
will receive from an organization
such as The Family Services of
America. Do something differ
ent if you cannot work it out
yourselves. Don't null along
through the years in a haze of
friction and fatigue.

too. And there, in plain Ian
guage, is the situation you're out
to buck.
While it would be too bad for
you to give up your convenient
home, the sacrifice would be
preferable to having your ro-
nance spoiled. One solution
would be for Chet to find a
young man to interest Marcia
for awhile. Any male compan-
ionship that would tide her over
until your wedding day would
surely be helpful. If no obliging
young man can be found, the
best thing for you to do is pack
up and move, before Marcia gets
her claws into Chet. Some
frustrated females are most
dangerous opponents. Since I
doubt that you have the expert
ence to cope with one, retreat is
the indicated course to follow.
If you do continue to remain
with Marcia, there's no doubt
but that she'll make things quite
uncomfortable for you.
DEAR MISS NISSEN: I am
very fond Of a boy in my school.
For a while he liked me, but
my brother says he likes another
girl, and my friends say I'm the
one he likes. Should I believe
my brother or my friends?
GERRY.
ANSWER: Neither. Make your
decision from the way the boy
acts toward you. And don't rush
him into declaration of undy-
ing affection. Accept his friend
ship, and let him take care of
the progression.
