MAMMA. BY Diana Tuition.
Macmillan; $500
Diana Tuition is a mistress
of that much neglected virtue,
the light touch. Here she is
writing of an unlikely situa-
tion-a man in love with his
mother law. She brings it
off mainly by being unpre-
tentious and unaffected.
Joanna Mailing is a chaste
widow of Al, whose only
daughter, Libby, a bland and
tactless 20-year-old marries
man nearer her mothers age
than her own. Joanna has
long been resigned to her gar
den and her poetry. is settling
down for the autumnal years
in a little country house.
Through no fault of her own
she is soon sharing 1t with the
newlyweds. And very soon,
she is sharing more glances
and thoughts with her son-in-
law than with her daughter.
Miss Tuition. recounts this
emotional turmoil beneath the
glossy surface Of "darlings"
that always simmer in the
English novel. She has Gre
ated in Joanna a charming
heroine. rueful, responsive, and
right-minded. In fact, Joanna
is so disarming that the read
ers may find themselves Won
dering what Steven could pos
sibly see in Libby, besides her
youth. Libby, the cocksure
quoter Of an equally overbear-
ing young friend. is q little
hard to take. But Miss Tut

conclusion that the social fab

What is Miss Welty saying?
You might as well ask the

the flower of the Southern
flock, q fine stylist, q tone
poetess, but the intellectual
and emotional content Of this
new collection OF stories

This is sad news indeed.
Miss Welty's last effort, THE
Ponder Heart" was an admit
ted Joy, full Of Juice and hui
NOR. A character study OF q
marvellous old coot, it revealed
the authors talent at Its
happiest.
But here Miss Welty is in
constant motion, and like
some super-tourist guide she
keeps describing the passing
countryside. But is this
enough? Why does Miss Welty
turn her back on humankind
and disdainfully withdraw
from any hint Of story. or even
involvement. Is narrative In
such disrepute that she can
only write Of people as she
glides by them?
A Posing Glance
Very little happens in these
seven stories except In 1.-THE

Robert J. Donovan

Robert j. Donovan Is White
House correspondent for the
New York Heard Tribune.
He has done an immense Job
Of research in digging out the
personal stories of the men
who turned assassin.
Those who found Jim Bis
hops 1.-THE Day Lincoln Was
Shot" (Harper), a reading
experience to remember ear
lier this year will want to read
THE Assassins." Naturally.
Mr.. Donovan brings in the as
saSsination of Lincoln. Where
Mr.. Bishop deals more COM
pletely with the atmosphere,
the surroundings and all the
persons involved in the ira
gedy at Ford's Theater 80 years
ago, Mr.. Donovan concentrates
on the killer, John Wilkes
Booth. Booths actor father,
Junius Brutus Booth, was con-
sidered insane. at least at
times. and the obsession of
the son may have q partial
explanation in heredity.
The Trigger FoiIed
Only close students Of
American history probably re-
member the attempt on the
life Of President Andrew Jack
son in 1885 in the Capitol
rotunda. where he had gone to
attend the funeral of a mem.
Der Of Congress. A house
painter named Richard Law
renee pulled the trigger Of a
pistol twice. Fortunately it
failed to fire Lawrence was
committed to the institution
now known as st. Elizabeth's
Hospital. He died there.
For the first time we have
complete biographical sketches
OF Charles ]. Guiteau, the
eccentric petty swindler and
disappointed job seeker who
killed President Garfield, and
Of Leon F. Czolgosz. the self
styled anarchist. who fatally
wounded President Mckinley.
Although both men were ex-
ecuted. Mr.. Donovan brings
out that. in the more exact
knowledge Of psychiatry which
we have today. both assassins
appear to have been mentally
incompetent. Today they
probably would have been
committed to asylums.
Attempt to Kill Trumon
We have. in Mr.. Donovan's
book, background stories Of
unsuccessful attempts on the
lives Of President Truman by
two Puerto Rican fanatics and
Of former President Theodore
Roosevelt by an unbalanced
man In Milwaukee. There is
the story Of Joe zangara. who
tried. so he said. to kill Presi-
dent-elect Franklin D. Roose-
welt in Miami. but instead
fatally wounded Mayor Ger
max Of Chicago.
THE Assassins" is wildly
written. Mr.. Donovan finds
satisfaction in "the fact that
in nearly all cases the assassi-
nations were the acts of lone
psychopaths and not the pro-
duct Of palace intrigue. secret
societies and political power
struggles" such as actuated
so many such deeds in Europe.
Comfort can be found. too. in
the extraordinary measures
which the Secret Service takes
today to guard Presidents,
precautions which would have
made impossible the closeup
attacks which cost the country
Presidents Lincoln, Garfield
and Mckinley.
