The RommeI Papers
Edited by B. H. Liddel

Edited by B. H. Liddell Hart.
(Harcourt, Brace; $6.J
The British apparently have
adopted it as an axiom that
Field Marshal Rommel was
one of the-repeat the-great
generals Of World War II.
Whether it is because he
pushed their troops back to
Ell Alamein or because they
pushed his troops from El Ala
mein to Tunisia-or both-is
not clear.
He was an able field COM
mander. Any one who could
command the retreat across
North Africa and have his men
able to deal the blows they did
in Tunisia, had to be able.
But whether he deserves the
kudos the British give him is
open to question.
Mr.. Hart has done an excel
lent job as editor. There is an
account by Rommel's son,
Manfred Rommell, of the mar
shal's last days and of his
taking the poison Hitler sent
him. But there's nothing dis
closed about Rommel's part in
the 1914 attempt on Hitler's
life. Rommel destroyed any
papers that might have in
eliminated him or others.

More Moughom Essays

A Washington friend OF w.
Somerset Vaughan, Mrs. John
v. Case, writes in that the old
master, in a recent letter, ad-
viSeS he is well away on a new
series of essays which he plans
for publication next year. An
other Washington friend and
admirer of Mr.. Maugham's, I.
William Hill, points out that
this disclosure in no way
breaks the 79-year-old authors
oft-repeated vows to quit, nor
does it show him as the Ade-
lima Patti of the literary stage.
Every time Mr.. Vaughan
has said he wouldn't write a
certain kind of writing again,
he has kept his word. He has
been like some one closing off
one room at a time in a big
old house. He said after
"Sheppy, there would be no
more plays, and there weren't.
With Creatures of Circum-
stances, he bowed out of the
short story field. Catalina"
was his farewell to the novel.
But he never said anything
about not writing any more
essays, and his fans hope he
will go on as long as he cak
hold q pen.

The two-fold purpose of the

purchasers. Works by the
Phillips family are all from the
collection. including q BEAU

year by Majorie Phillips.
In tribute to the late c. Law

big in its suggestion of height
and distance.
Other paintings are by Mary

partment of American Univer-
sity; Bernice Cross, at one
time instructor at the Phillips

f1cate of Human Personality"
and there are no criminals,

of these establishments of the

the world. He becomes a
minor official in the busy
EuthanaSia Department and
falls in love with a bearded
ballet dancer. Clara's whiskers
Sprouted as a result of the
sterilization operation required
of all dancers. Their romance
is bizarre to begin with, ghast-
ly at the end.
This is Mr.. Waugh in his
most savage vein, Sneering at
a civilization which under the
name of security imposes me-
diocrity, and which holds that
no man is responsible for the
consequences of his own acts.
It is much akin to his corro-
sive THE Loved One," in
which he heaped scorn on
those who cannot accept death.
The story is illustrated with
Victorian line drawings by the

Two of the books, 'Duke" and

father. He reSentS his mothers

Eugene Clark's exuberant ac-
count of pursuing them on
home grounds a very fetching

creatures of the deep.
Her specialties were plec-
tognaths. which include such
oddities as file-fish, blow-f1Sh
and puffer-f1sh. After study
ing at Hunter College, she
donned a face-mask and began
"goggJing" in several seas.
Under the auspices of the Pa

free of technical data and

Miss Carrighar tells you about

thousands of Jennings stimuli
