of the future
at this new Technical Center

One result of all this-seen by millions at our recent
Motoramas is ems latest dream car Firebird II.
Built Of cleaning ttanium, powered by gas turbine
engine and styled like jet aircraft, it may foreshadow
the motorcar of tomorrow.
But the horizons of the Technical Center stretch far
beyond the motor vehicle. 1t has already developed
the first successful mechanical heart the new Cenri-
Elmer for purifying vaccines and is engaged in many
important humanitarian projects.
1t is engaged, too, in finding new uses for radioactive
isotopes, in developing propellants, new engines
for our nations defense today that may revolutionize
industry tomorrow.
And we hope, too, that these splendid facilities will at
tract more and more young people to technical careers.
Illus equipped, General Motors welcomes the
challenge of the future. We hope to open new fields
Of knowledge that will help to build an even more
dynamic and prosperous national economy and to
keep America strong.

Of some young people in New

are drug addicts, and this is
primarily a study of that dark

The story is told in tough
colloquial style which is nat

to a point. But it goes on
and on, vast and trivial. The

from Is to Is. are taken with
great seriousness, described in
overwritten poetic terms of
romance. Andy, the most
talented of the boys, a horn
player. fell into dope while

The clinical details Of Andy's
futile effort to shake of the

feeble character. Similarly

Beauty and Broins

Mrs. Luce, as everyone knows
who has seen her during her
recent stay in Washington. is
one Of the most durably daz-
zling women in politics. The
years have not touched her
blond beauty And now many of
the disputes about her perform
ance in Rome as our Ambas-
sador have been resolved in
her favor.
Alden Hatch, who unfor-
tunately writes with a press
agents fervor, has done a COM
plete job Of research on her
career. Mrs. Luce had humble
beginnings, but beauty, brains
and will soon put her on the
escalator of success. She had
cut a wide swath in the edi-
torial world of New York be-
fore her marriage to Henry
Luce; nor did his eminence
eclipse hers afterward.
Mrs. Luce's career in Con-
gress. her conversion to Ca
tholicism, her political activ-
ity and her entry into the
diplomatic world were accom-
panied by controversial COM
ments from the sidelines. Mr..
Hatch does not explain Mrs.
Luce's formidable ability to
hold her own under difficult
circumstances, 1t does emerge
from his pages. His excellent

Maj. Gen. Courtney Whit
ney. (Knopf; $6.75).
This may be as close as the
world ever gets to MacArthur's
autobiography. Written by
Gen. Whitney. his aide, it is
filled with quotations from "the
old man." and this reviewer,
for one, would bet that Gen.
Macarthur carefully edited the
whole manuscript.
Now the two unfriendly
rivals among Gen. MacArthur's
top staff. Gems. Charles A.
Willoughby and Whitney, have
both checked in with their re-
ports on their chiefs greatest
days. from Bataan to Tokyo
to Inchon. If possible, Gen.
Whitney outdoes Gen. Will
loughby in the hero worship
department. He also publishes
more intimate material and
much that is new and his
torically important.
The Philippine Loss
Gen. Whitney rehashes in
detail all Gen. MacArthur's
historic gripes, some Of which
look better in the light of his
tory. Lack of naval support
lost Gen. Macarthur the Phil
ippines, it is claimed. Had
reinforcements been sent, Gen.
Macarthur thinks the Japa-
nese may have been halted in
the Philippines instead of on
Guadalcanal.
Europe got too much of the
military hardware and man
power in World War II, Gen.
Whitney complains again.
The classic Macarthur Navy
squabble over control of naval
forces covering his landings at
Leyte is also resurrected, this
time with official accounts
published for the first time. OF
course, the material is Mac
Arthur's own.
Gen. Whitney is gentler with

seem to be first reports OF Gen.
MacArthur's secret feelings.
Holding politicians criminally
responsible in the class A war

to Gen. Macarthur, the author
reports.
