Meantime, speculation began i'm.

Dame campus like randrops.
There was no official word on
this angle from any Fotre Dame
official. Neither Father Hesburgh,
Krause nor Leahy would name
even a possibility.
However, insiders thought the
choice would be confined to a Notre

South Bend school-and very likely
would be one of Leahy's sever

He chose Don Pedro and. in q
small way at first. started q
store. He was the only gringo
in town, but he looked like o
Mexican. spoke the language
like a native and krAw how to
make friends. In few years
he was a leading citizen, ac-
copied reluctantly by the
Vierras, the richest. most pow
erful family. Leo. with a her
itage of culture from his par
ents, could acquit himself well
anywhere. He prospered, his
store grew. The time came
when he married a niece of
Dona Lupe Vierra, despite the
bitter opposition of the family.
But this seeming denouement
of Leo's adventures was only
a prelude, to other expert
ences. He was, as a fortune
teller once told him, a man of
many lives.
This Leo is an engaging
character whose ways are de-
cidedly off beat. In an era
of violence, when every man
went armed, he refused to
carry a weapon. He was, in a
way, a pacifiSt, and yet he was
no coward, as he proved more
than once. He made money,
and yet he was never grasp
ing, always ready to help any
one in distress. In almost
everyway he is admirable.
Mr.. Ferguson still refuses
to sacrifice artistic integrity
for melodrama. Actually the
early chapters of THE Con-
quest of Don Pedro" move
pretty slowly, more slowly than
most of mis- novels. The drama
is in the later stages. But the
sense of transition of the
1905 is felt. The railroads are
moving into the West, chang
ing towns overnight from the
leisurely pace of centuries to
the brawling tempo of the
frontier. Then there are Leo's
several tempeStuous love af-
fairs which, if they do nothing
for the authors reputation as
a restrained literary artist of
the Southwest. probably were
the factor that enabled the
book to make the Literary
Guild.

Yet there is little that appears

large proportion of the Is stu

100 items, are showing work in
several media.
Some of the paintings on

not indicated in the catalog.
The top painting of more than
so listed. in my opinion, is Ed

form, and arresting in color. It
would make an effective mural.
Severa1 paintings of religious
subjects with faceted planes

be translated into stained

No contemporary novelist
writes as understandingly and
colorfully of New Mexico. a
State still distinctive, still re-
sisting the press of conformity.
And yet it is a reflection on
the general level of literary
taste to observe that Harvey
FERGUSON is not nearly so well
known as he deserves to be in
view of the number of superior
books he has turned out in 80
years.
THE Conquest Of Don Ped
70" probably will make him
better known. partly because
he has made some concessions
toward popularity. at least to-
ward what the public is pre-
sumed to go for. partly be-
cause one of the big book clubs
is sponsoring the new novel.
Whot Is Expected
AS a matter of fact. Mr..
Fergusson'S concessions could
be called minor. They are
mostly concerned with sex. of
which he usually has written
more Economically, less expli-
city. It is as if certain cpl
Sodes were lugged in. almost
reluctantly. and you can al
most see the author signing,
"Well, I suppose that's what
they expect these days" For,
ever since his remarkable first
novel, THE Blood of the Con-
querors," was published back
in the '20s. and he was called
by H. L. Mencken the most
promising young novelist in
America, Mr.. Ferguson has
been a singularly clean writer
for these times. His idea of
realism was never parallel with
vulgarity. He always assumed
that you did not have to set
down everything to give a
rounded picture of a charac-
ter. While THE Conquest Of
Don Pedro" contains some
frank incidents. these are brief
and you'll still look in vain for
an obscene word or a vulgar
connotation.
Mr.. Ferguson has sacri-
feed nothing In the way of
effective writing. HIS def
phrases convey all the flavor
of a small Mexican town in
New Mexico in the period
following the Civil War You'll
remember the characters.
The central character. in
fact, is one of the most un-
usual and interesting I've en-
countered in recent fiction. He

The Arobion Peninsula
BY Richard H. Sanger. cornell University Press; So
Reviewed hx John c. Henry

for those bent upon world con-
quest. Through earlier CEN
turtles, the Arabian Peninsula
was not quite on the main
highway of this making of his
tory but the oil beneath its
sands and the air over them
have helped in the last score
of years to lift it out of its own
isolation.
Before these events began to
develop. the barren and in
hospitable peninsula drew rel
atively little interest from the
Western world. Even today
there is no excess of authori-
tative printed information and
discussion of the area. Dick
Sanger. the author in this case,
not only has Travelled widely
over the peninsula: he has
done SO thoughtfully and with
a good reporters skill at re-
cording his impressions. His
book. several years in prep
aration, is packed with detail
of what he saw, what he did
and who he talked with. It is,
however. more than a travel
ogue: it is q sort of magic
carpet equipped with three
dimensional viewer by which
the reader can look behind the
sights and the sounds to sense
the social revolution that has
been moving over most of the
peninsula during the past two
decades.
AS an official of the State
Department, the author APP
parently felt he should keep
to a minimum his expressions
of political opinion. He has
done that on the whole al
though a careful reading of
some of his chapters can help
the forming of a readers own
political opinions. His story
of his acquaintance with the
present King Saud al Saud Of
Saudia Arabia. for instance.
provides many clues on how
this carefully prepared son of
a distinguished father may
carry out his role as an in
fiuential ruler in the Middle
East. And there are implica-
tons of political significance
in the experiences recorded in
such places as Muscat and
Yemen, those two corner-posts
of the peninsula. From each
of these, incidentally, the
author brought official but OBJ
viously sincere expressions of
interest in and friendship for
the United States. For de-
spite their isolation these little
countries are not unaware of
the game of giant-power poll
tics that is going on around
them.
The Cornell University Press
has been a leader in publish
ing some of the best current
background on the Middle
East. This book on the Ara
bian Peninsula is a worthwhile
addition to the lstingS.

Jones a truculent, big-hearted

a figure that inspires sympathy
and admiration. It is not
likely that the record of petty
