Supreme Court Justice Doug
las adds warning to the grow
ing chorus that the United
States is going to have to get
off the dime if it is not to be
outstripped by the Soviet
Union. He writes of his tour
of the Soviet Union last year,
Illuminating well-known statis-
tical pictures of Soviet ad-
vances with on-the-spot OBJ
servations.
Justice Douglas is a keen
observer, sensitive to hui
man values, and fearless
enough to admit it when he
finds a Russian he can really
admire.
His Summary

close parallel between his con-
victionS about Soviet inten-

one-paragraph summary:

First, the Russian people want
peace. Second, the Kremlin

The HOehlings
The author of another ac-
count of marine tragedy was a
recent visitor here. With A. A.
Hoehling, jr., it was a matter
of revisiting old haunts. He
used to be a Star reporter,
some 10 years ago.
Still youthful and industri-
Gus, Mr.. Hoehling, who works
now in New York and dwells
ex-urbanite fashion in Con-
necticut, has just seen pub
lished THE LAST VOYAGE
OF THE LUSITANIA." for
which task he had the collab-
grafton of his wife, Mary.
The Hoehlings spent about
nine months on the book, most

of that fateful voyage. Out of
approximately so people who
are still living to tell the tale,
the Hoehlings reached IS.
New Projects
Now they are hard at work
on two more World War
projects. One is biography
of Edith Cavell. the heroic
English nurse shot as a spy by
the Germans and another is
the story of the cruise of the
Raider Emden, with it's Curl
Gus. Robin-Hood type captain.
Mr.. Hoehling sees a re-
surgence of interest in World
War I matters. Science, gen.
orally so unintelligible to the
layman, played a small part
and the action is thus more
easily followed.
Bearing him out comes an
announcement from Harper's
that one of their major fall
titles will be a grand retelling
of the tragic story of Gallipoli
by Alan Moorehead.

This short novel is unpreten-
tious, and it does not presume
to deal with all the explosive
tensions that simmer in South
Africa today. But within its
sphere-the Boer farmers, Ger
man and Swedish settlers, and
their contact with the prevail
ing natives, the Zulus-it is a
striking picture.
Swedish Missionary
Mr.. Helander is a young
Swedish missionary to South
Africa, and his most impor-
tant character. Haldvan. Is
Lutheran missionary who has
come down from Sweden. The
action centers around the mis-
sion warm.
When a Zulu girl who was
house servant for a German
farmer comes to Haldvan and
complains that her master
has gotten her with child and
driven her off the place, the
missionary confronts the
farmer. Haldvan demands
that the man pay for the
girls care and support the
expected child. The farmer
does not dare refuse, because
there is a law with severe
penalties for intimacy between
natives and whites, but he is
furious. He complains to the
men at a wedding party that
Haldvan is a Communists
charge entirely false - and
that ne is giving refuge to a
criminal element among the
ZuluS.
A Difficult Task
The missionary is in for
trouble. He is tempted to
give up and go back to Sweden,
but he is a man of courage
and resourcefulness. We see
not only his difficulties with
the narrow-minded Dutch and
German settlers, but his hard
task with the natives. He
often is discouraged as he
tries not only to bring Chris
tianity to the Zulus, but to
save the sick and injured from
the follies of their witch doc
tors and persuade them to
take penicillin instead OF some
ancient poisonous poultice.
But there is, as in Cry the
Beloved Country" a triumph
of the spirit in BLACK Rhap-
sody," a victory over the hard
life of heat, drought and flood
and the harder conflicts be-
tween the African and Euro
pean ways of life.
Mr.. Helander's story has
come through, at least in this
translation. simply and clear
~. He is a thoughtful writer,
who depicts his characters
sharply and makes full use of
the dramatic possibilities of
his theme.

Now Stanley Walker Thinks
New York S Just Fit to Visit

I've basked in the Walker
hospitality and a man hardly
has time for a drink until
the livestock is bedded down.
Since 1945 New York City
still remains a fine place for
the Walkers to visit, but they
wouldn't live there.
His book is recommended
highly to the dreamers who
would emulate the Walkers,
whether that dreamer loves
Texas or is sick of the word.

Literary Hothouses

IN SEARCH OF HERESY,
by John w. Aldridge CMcGraw-
Hill; $4) is an analysis of
American Literature in an
Age of Conformity" by the
young critic who wrote After
the Lost Generation"
At last, some one has had
the temerity to question the
value of the literary lighthouses
on certain university campuses
where new writer's are nur-
tured and sold.
IntravenOus Art
Literary powers within
these universities, Mr.. Aldridge
explains, had within recent
years reached the point
where the manufacture of
new writer's and works could
be carried out under the con-
trolled conditions of the
laboratory and the tested and
purified techniques of the
masters injected like plasma
directly into the blood streams
OF apprentices. enabling them
at once to begin to write
poems rich in ambiguity.
paradox. symbolism and ten
sion and short stories and
novels Incorporating James
device of the trapped spec
tator.' Conrad's concealed
and multiple narrators and
Joyce's parallels to the myth
of OdysSeus."
With the aid of such in
fluential little magazines as
the Kenyon and Sewanee re-
views, the movement, stated
by graduates of the literary
workshops of Stanford and
Iowa. are creating synthetic.
junior-sized Joyces, Jameses
and Kafkas.
Avant Garde
There grew up, Mr.. Aldridge
feels, "a special avant garde
etiquette of subject selection
which became as restrictive in
Its effects on the quarterlies
as the cliches and stereotypes
imposed by the mass audience
on the commercial magazines.
The author cites some prime
examples of authors and books
which reflect the influence of
these campuses on Eastern
publishers and the effort to
sell their products to the pub
lie. He does not feel that the
literary test tubes are pro-
ducing anything worthwhile.
He longs for the return of the
young writer who went his own
way, turned out his own stuff
and sometimes came up with
a real contribution. The pro-
fessors who run the writing
incubators all are authors
with publishing contacts and
they so push their young geni-
uses that it's hard for any,
one outside these coteries to
break in.
He Should Know
Mr.. Aldridge should know.
He has been an associate pro-
fesSor of English and he has
contributed to some of the
little magazines and was the
co-founder of Discovery.
Perhaps he has something.
And perhaps it explains why
we are suffering such a plague
Of tortured, immature, over
written and dull novels.

Hi Ho, Hi Ho, it's off to vote
we go, this time with the comfort
able assurance that we are among
that most respectable group,
known as informed voters.
We gathered our information in
the proper order this time too.
At joint meeting of the League
of Women Voters held in Rose
mary Hills, which included the
Rockville unit, the voters serv-
ice resource committee provided
both general and specific infor-
nation on the history and func.
ton of political parties in this
country in addition to its usual
vital information on when and
where to vote and register.
OF specially interest locally,

THE Role of Political Parties, U.
S. A." by Joseph c. Harsch. Mr..
Harsch points out the value of an
0pnoe + on party as such.
Which brings us to the brave
offer of Mrs. Lila Thomson to
serve as the party of the second
part in the election Monday. At
the monthly meeting of the Tea
at Parklawn last Monday night,
the program for the evening was
talk by county attorney, Charles
Irelan, and a candidates rally.
The egg slate, Mayor Dickran
Hovsepian, and the candidates for
council, John Oxley, Wendall Tur-
ner Alex Greene and Frank Eek
er, each spoke on the accomplish.
ments of the present administra-
ton and outlined many of the
programs they hope to accom-
plish in the next two years.
Mayor Hovsepian said the CGG
slate was elected by IS neighbor-
hood representatives and five can
didates at large. Many nominees
were considered for the vacant po.
sition on the council. He likened
this method of citizen participa-
ton to New England town meet
ings.

she had supported CGG two years
ago, but that 1.-THE honeymoon
/ didn't last. Mrs. Thomson feels
strongly that good record is not
enough to justify the strong re-
sentiment of any criticism which
she has encountered in her deal
ings with the present administra-
ton.
Mrs. Thomson acknowledged
that the platform of egg is a
good one and that the record of
accomplishment of the admins
tration is also very good-but not
quite as good as claimed by the
candidates.
She mentioned specifically the
five cent reduction in taxes which
had been made recently, saying
that this was not a result of eco.
nomical city management, but
the reflection of a $4,000 sur
plus left by the preceding admin.
istration. ct is only fair to state
that the previous administration
was unaware of this surplus.)
Mr. Irelan's address was inter.
esting, informative but non-poli-
tical, and therefore, we shall save
it until next week when we can
give appropriate coverage.
The Tea dance netted a profit
of $50, and the new directory will
be out next week. Other business
of the evening was the distribu-
ton of door prizes, one of which,
a garden set donated by Abode
Hardware, was won by Robert
Thomson, the candidates hus-
band.
The other prizes, a set of
