Desperate Scenery
BY Elliott Paul. random House: $3.50

Authors occasionally give way
to the impulse to do an. auto
biographical book. Elliott
Paul's impulse was on a colos-
sal scale. This is the seventh
volume in a series he is writ
Ing on his experiences and he
apparently plans several more.
The last two books, Linden
on the Saugus Branch" and
"a Ghost Town on the yell
lowstone," told of his youth
full experiences in Montana
and Wyoming as a utility man
and a transit man for the
United States Reclamation
Service in the early years of
the century. Volume 7 de-
Scribes his further adventures
with the same service in re-
building a waShed-out dam
near Jackson Hole in Idaho in
1910. He calls the series of
"reminiscences Items on the
Grand Account"
Mr.. Paul, then 10, found
himself that summer in Louis
vile, KY, with meager funds
and a fresh longing for the
West. After he bought ticket
to Pocatello, Idaho, he had
enough left to eat on the jour-
ney and figured he'd arrive
with a balance of $40. But he
wasn't worried; he'd find some
sort OF job. Western towns

were friendly in those days
perhaps they still are-but A
years ago there were more OPP
portunities for a young fellow
adventuring. First he picked
up some money playing piano
to a cowboys violin at the
hotel. Then he won quite a
sum, for those days, on the
Jeffries-Johnson fight. But
the first thing he knew he
was back with the Reclama-
ton Service helping build the
dam at Jackson Hole.
Desperate Scenery" is one
Of the most interesting of the
series. AS in the others, the
opening chapters promise
more than they deliver, and
in later chapters there is
sometimes a tendency to bog
down in inconsequential de-
tail. The author has, too, an
occasional irritating habit of
opening up a situation and
leaving it dangling. But the
characters that crowd scenes
of breathtaking beauty are
vivid and the ways of that
day are impressed on the
reader. The wonder is that
Mr.. Paul Is able to recall so
many absorbing people and
episodes. He has a prodigious
and disciplined memory.

accidental drowning, but there
were puzzling circumstances.
One of her legs had been
greatly swollen, the conse-
quence, the medical examiner
said, Of some infection, the
source of which he could not
determine. Thelma's husband,
Howard. was beneficiary of her
$4,000 insurance policy. There
was a double indemnity clause
in case of accidental death,
with q provision that excepted
drowning. The husband con-
tended she had died of some
undiagnosed illness which had
wracked her lately, as all her
friends knew, and presumably
had caused the swollen leg. He
has been paid the face of the
policy. He is about to sue for
the amount of the extra in
demnity. Does the company
suspect he killed his wife?
Warren demands. No, he is
told, Howard had an iron-clad
alibi and his wife was seen
walking in the yard after he
left for the city.
Glamour Boy Suspect
Warren's preliminary inves-
tigation convinces him that
Howard is a murderer, though
he has little to go on. This
Howard is a small-time CLAM
our boy who once had physi-
cal culture gymnasium and has
the physique to back up such
a business. The investigation
becomes an obsession with
Warren.
I won't tell you whether it
turns out that he is right in
his suspicion. I'll simply say
the author, a serious novelist,
is more interested in Develop
ing the motives and problems
Of a dozen characters than in
astounding the reader with q
trick ending. The writing could
hardly have been more effec-
tive for its Npurpose. The dis
logue' is particularly natural
and admirably paced to adj
vance the story.

united. free people are made
happier. But the freedom is
often misused. Men assert
their freedom to divide, splin-

And what can we do about
that? Why, says Mr.. STREET,
we can achieve more union,

more inventions and keep

One might ask how the
