THREE YEARS TO SAVE ASIA
Continued from page fhiTty-tlro

Peiping may be voted in within
a few years. Red China's admis-
sion would be bitter tea. But to
pull out of the UN if it happens
would be leaving the organiza-
ton to the Communists and cut

gets in. we must be prepared to
set up Formosa as an independ-
ent. sovereign state, with its

fall of Southeast Asia will under

I'm afraid the U. S. treasury will
keep taking a beating.
Southeast Asia's hideously de-
pressed areas present the greatest
challenge to free economics. That
challenge can be turned into an
asset by making the region an
economic show-window. just as
an Independent Philippines has
become a political show-window.

the increasing pressure for trade

Raising Southeast Asia's living
standards would help create a
new market in the area for Japan.
That would not mean that there
would never be any trade be-
tween Japan and Red China. But
it would mean that we wouldn't
have to be SO jittery about such
trade.

The boy, Beng Cow, is poor,
as most Chinese are, and lives
in a remote village. A teacher
in the big school in the nearby
city takes him to a shop where
there are birds and animals.
He can have what he wants.
He selects the feeble little
goats. He lavishes care and af-
fection on them and they re-
spond by growing sturdily,
and, eventually, the female
has q kid of her own. Then the
war, of which the villagers
have heard vaguely, sweeps
down from the north. No one
knows what it is about; they
are aware only that wars come
every so often. So Beng Cow
and his friends must leave, for
some strange place known as
the South. The boy must in
trust the goats TO the school,
hoping to see them again some
day.
Miss Walker has lived in
China and her atmosphere no
doubt is accurate. But her lit
tie story has wider implica-
tions. There is something of
every boy in Beng Cow and
something of the great world
in the little world around him.

Bolton Solo

Mimi Dubois Bolton has
been a Washington artist for
more than 20 years, and the
subtle changes in her work
during this period are familiar
to WaShingtonians who keep
up with local exhibitions. For
she participates frequently in
group exhibitions, and has had
a number of solo shows here
as we'll as in other cities.
Her current retrospective at
the Dupont Theatre gallery
comprises II paintings of re-
cent years, including 3 which
received awards in 1852 and
'53 annual exhibitions of the
Society of Washington Artists
q of them first prizes.) Her
work has moved steadily to-
wards abstraction, and the pre-
dominant tonality is COOL
grays, blues, browns and
green's, Illuminated with earth
red and white. Her compost
tionS are well integrated, and
some have an architectural
strength.
Outstanding among several
paintings not previously shown,
is Isle of Light" in which the
glow of a lighted block of
buildings at night is effectively
conveyed.
Earlier this spring Mrs. Boil
ton had a solo exhibition at
the Garden Gate in George
town, and she is currently in
cluded in the Town Gallery's
group show.
AS If one active career were
not enough, Mrs. Bolton has
also written a book for chill

The veteran novelist and
playwright has written an en-
gaging story around a theme
touched with the occult.
It is a modern parable not
too stepped in symbolism to
spoil a narrative paced for
suspense.
At the outset we find Sir
Charles RavenStreet. an elec-
trical engineer who was
knighted for his scientific
services during the war, at
tending a directors meeting of
the New Central Electrical
Co. He was, as he had ex-
pected. passed over for the
vacant post of managing di-
rector, the chief executive po-
Sition to which he was logi-
cally entitled. The board
turned instead to a man who
was not a scientist but an "ac-
countant." who knew his way
around financial circles. Sir
Charles was asked to serve as
production manager. He
promptly refused, sold out his
extensive holdings in a pros
porous company and was, at
SIS, a rich man, without q job,
at a loose end.
Bored and Restless
A man Of Charles reputa-
ton could find employment,
surely, but he could afford to
wait and be particular. Mean
while he tried to enjoy, him
self, at his club in London and
at his country home. He was
q childleSs widower. He went
to parties, dropped into night
clubs. He soon was bored and
restless.
Then, while he was relaxing
at the country place, he was
asked to call on Lord Mervil,
who owned q string Of news
papers and other enterprises.
They held a guarded meeting
with only two of Mervil's aides
present. 1t appeared that the
peer had a bold new scheme,
the manufacture and sale of a
drug devised by a young chem
ist. This drug, declared harm
less. would remove worry for
a time and cause the subject
to feel exhilarated. optimistic,
confident. 1t left no hang
over, Charles was assured, and
might even replace liquor.

conversation be college and let
the students do the ordinary
classwork on the outside-if
they felt they needed to-"
But Mr.. FARRELL lets the stu
dents go by with nothing more
than q pat on the head. His
chief targets are the faculty
Of this intense institution.
Particularly he wishes to ex-
pose a visiting novelist who in
the guise of creative writing
professor is skulking around
the campus on the lookout for
characters for her books.
These are "a systematic, de-
tailed and conclusive condem-
nation of mankind for being
stupid and bad"
Trembling on the Verge
Other faculty members like
the RoSenbaums, who are mu-
sical and Europeans, and the
WhittakerS, who ooze social
consciousness from every pore,
he treats more sympathetic
cally. About the only thing
that happens to any of them
is that Miss Patterson, upon
leaving dies. A Virginia
lady, she had made trem-
bling -on-the-verge-of-things a
steady state, a permanent one;
she lived in the State of In
nocence."
Mr.. FARRELL has a slight ten
dency to be a little jack
Hornerish when he pulls out
a plum of phrase. He rather
frankly invites applause and
almost always does an encore
in the shape Of a slight re-
phraSing.
His novel sounds to this re-
viewer in general a little like
a rather private joke for peo-
pie who know whereof he
speaks. The general public
may enjoy the tone. but miss
many of the shadings that will
doubtless enchant the initi-
ated.

have won international re-
