of demagogues in State and
city affairs :. I'VE have never
had a President who by the
widest stretch Of the English
language could be justly called
a demagogue." This statement
may be open to question.
Corruption Follows
Allied to the subject of dem
agogues is the corruption
which has shamed a number
Of our large cities-the alliance
between the underworld and
some officials which the Ke-
fauver investigation and other
inquiries have disclosed over
the years.
Last year William Manches-
ter scored what the military
men call a near miss in his
novel "The City of Anger"
(Ballantine). He described
such a partnership between
high officials and racketeers
in a great city. If it was not
quite a good novel, it was a
vivid picture Of such a condi-
tion.
Comes now Max Franklin
with "Hell Street" (Rinehart;
$2.75), depicting what is called
"the combine" with which city
officials and mobsters jointly
control the vice of an imagi-
nary but not so mythical city.
The situation, beyond doubt
true of some cities, is still q
theme wide open for serious
novelistS.
It is hardly fair to expect
such a study from Hell
Street." It is more along the
line of a mystery or a story
Of suspense. Its hero, Detec-
tive Sergeant Johnny Blake,
is a sort of Junior grade Mike
Hammer, Micky Spillane's
fast-shooting private eye.

FAITH AND FREEDOM. BY
Barbara Ward. wv. w. Nor
ton; $3.75.)
Reviewed by Mary MeGrory
Barbara Ward Is one Of the
most eloquent voices In the
West today. She commands q
formidable array Of talents as
historian, economist and PHI
losopher. Here, too, she reveals
a fervent religious faith. the
renewal Of which she sees as
the crucial need Of the be-
leaguered West.
In propounding her thesis.
Miss Ward takes q mastery
excursion through the realms
Of mans beliefs from ancient
Sumeria to modern Moscow.
To refute determinism and
materialism, she dwells on the
uniqueness of the ancient
Greeks and the Jews. In their
reverence for mankind = in
the Greeks affirmation Of
mans power to build a ration
al order, in the Jewish version
of man as "a co-worker in the
coming reign Of Righteousness"
she sees the beginnings of
the Western heritage. Greek
humanism and Jewish and
Christian faith in God achieved
synthesis in the Middle Ages.
Sovereignty was at every
level conceived of as a limited
authority, hedged in by law,
by traditional right, and by
pious respect for the ideal Of
Christian brotherhood" says
Miss Ward.
Flows Of the West
With the Reformation she
sees the growth Of Western
culture under the star Of di-
vision" And with the growth
Of unchecked sovereignty and
the growing tendency to look
upon material gain as a mark
Of Gods favor, the way was
paved for our present division
and distrust.
In Miss Wards view, COM

flaws Of Western civilization,
on assertive nationalism and
material greed.

nearly a decade now at Ameri-
can University, that one won-
ders when she finds time to do
any painting herself.
But obviously she does, for
the present collection, retro
spective of about five years, is
the best I have seen by her in
a long time. Many Of the
paintings are quite small and
the larger oils and water colors
are all "home size" But more
important than size, they are
well composed and beautiful
In color. Miss Baker has an

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Oct. IA.
Three former major league
baseball players who now make
their home in Kansas City are
enthused over the prospect Of
major league baseball moving
here.
Joe Kuhel, who spent a por-
ton of his career as a player
and a manager for the Senators
and also managed the Kansas
City Blues, had this to say:
isn't this great? 1t will give
the town a shot in the arm and
evidently the fans are behind
it from the ticket requests. It's
really terrific"
Glenn Wright. former great
shortstop with the Pirates and
also the Blues, said: II think
it's swell and I know Kansas
City will support a major league
club in great style. I'm particu-
larly happy because it brings my
team so close" Wright scouts
for the Red Sox.
Pitcher Joe Bowman, who be-
gan his major league career
with the Athletics, said: This
is terrific. I feel like going out

and Choo Choo's running paved
the way for the All-Stars' 17-7

Charlie and his wife stayed
