Reading and Writing
Signing Of Worldwide Copyright
Hailed as Literory Milestone
By Mary MeGrory

The signing Of the Universal
Copyright Convention took
place recently amid suitable
ceremony.
Some 80 representatives Of
letters, movies and music
watched President Eisenhower
put his signature on a bill that
brings the United States into
the international copyright
family. Herman Wouk, John
p. Marquand, Deems Taylor,
John Hersey and Rex Stout
represented the book world.
President Eisenhower is, OF
course, himself q writer, being
the author Of Crusade In Eu-
rope"
Some one remarked jokingly
that the bill would make 1t
possible for more copies of
Crusade in Europe" to be sold
In Europe. The President in
dicated he wasn't particularly
worried about that.
After he had signed the bill,
the President turned to his
friend and publisher, Douglas
Black, who is also chairman
of the National Committee of
the Universal Copyright con-
vention. The President said he
didn't see how the publishers
had escaped chaos without the
UCC.
Mr.. Black replied: 1--WE have
been getting protection for our
authors, artists and composers
through the side door Of the
older convention and through
general good will"
What the bill will do is to
make copyright automatic in
all the member countries OF
the Copyright Convention,
once the author has registered
his work in his native land.

He reminded the festive parti-
sans Of the 75-year struggle
that had preceded the happy
outcome. He said that each
person present probably felt
that he personally had given
the push necessary to put 1t
over. And he said tactfully
that each would be right.
He recalled the occasion in
1905 when Mark Twain, an
early champion of the law,

the real events Of this year in
literature.
We look first into the diary
Of the 17-year-old Henri Boyle.
Paris government worker and
army auditor. He yearns for
the world; he is sent with the
army to Milan, where he pines
for lack of amorous conquests
but consoles himself with the
opera at La Scala. In his
mind was always the idea Of
writing. His diary becomes a
working notebook. His pri-
vate life is not less active. He
sets himself two goals, in this
order: To be "a seducer of
women" and "the successor Of
Moliere."
Shakespeare was his idol.
For himself he set up his own
rules of writing: CLARITY, ac-
curacy Of terms, absence Of all
eloquence. ;"
Loving or writing, Henri
Boyle missed little. His was
the keenest eye that saw the
First Empire, the subtlest wit
that recorded its foibles and
the most penetrating preserver
Of It's verities. The two great
novels are his Monuments,
These fascinating diaries are,
the solid but brilliant base
on which they were built. And
they are equally interesting
and important.
