reader prepares for a stock
ending.
At this point. however, with
the book four-fifths over, Miss
Chatterton does a surprising
switch. All those little oddi-
ties about Mike, his unexpected
trips to Baltimore, his enig-
matte statements, his air of
allofneSs even Silly can't pene-
trate, suddenly fall into place
with a click and the truth
comes out. He is no Commu-
mist, true enough, but he is
something perhaps even worse:
A fanatic with a Messiah COM
pleX who has been busily Civ
ing the Russians every bit of
atomic information he can lay
his hands on so that their
power will be equalized with
ours and the worlds peoples
will be guaranteed either a
balanced peace or a simulta-
neous cremation.
With Mikes suicide, the
book ends, and actually Moth
ing has been proved by it.
However, it entertains. AS a
study in stereotypes, THE Be-
trayers" is smooth, able and
attractive job. And since
these are the stereotypes
which many people in Wash
ington these days believe
they must desperately defend,
it is quite likely to have a con-
siderable success in this city.
How it will fare out in the
country, where another set of
Stereotypes prevails, remains
to be seen. Perhaps the sud-
den reversal at the end will
take care of that, too.

feels that trees and parks
are a necessity.
In discussing Washington,
he thinks that despite JET
ferson's attempt ito establish
a classical revival architec-
ture worthy of a capital city,"
Pennsylvania avenue fails in
its effect because it never had
an architecture" At another
point. speaking of our Federal
Triangle, he observes that "it
is probably true that this over
powering huddle of official
architecture, so obviously lack
ing the benefits of planning,
brought about an aversion to
the whole concept of civic
Identification, but it is equally
true that the early city beauti-
fiers would never have coun-
tenanced it,"

professor of city planning and
director of the graduate pro-
gram in city planning at Yale.

Art Book Review
Great Artists
BY Annette Turngren.
(Abelard Press. $3.)

by A1lIleCCe uTlSreH.
(Abelard Press; $3.)
The purpose of this book
is to introduce art to young
people. Each of 26 chapters
is a biography of a master
painter. written in a sprightly
manner. The quality Of the
chapters is somewhat uneven.
Whether the author was more
interested in Michelangelo,
for instance, than in Raphael.
the chapter on the former is
much the better. Raphael
shapes up as a Little Lord
Fauntleroy type of prig, whom
the tots would hate.
With 18 of the 26, one can
not quarrel. But with Rosa
Bonheur as the only woman
represented, and with InnesS
and Sargent in while Ryder
and Eakins are not, the Sc
lection is not above reproach.
But the major criticism Of
this book is its lack of illustra-
tions. This is no handicap in
Washington (and other large
cities) where mothers and
teachers can take the young
sters to the National Gallery
and show them original mas
terpieces. For a lasting i'm
preston on children Cor any
one else), paintings themselves
or good color reproductions are
imperative. in connection with
the artists life stories.
