This young Japanese-Ameri-

longed to a well-known family
of Hiroshima, came to the

Chester BowIes Sees Need
For New Political Alignment

cratic means to meet the new
challenge.
What he is pleading for is
the kind of dynamic leader
ship shown by Thomas Jeffer-
son, Abraham Lincoln and
Franklin D. Roosevelt. He is
also pleading for us to recog-
nize that revolutionary strug-
gle going on in such places as
Burma, India and Africa is
"our revolution for Self-deter-
mination, for human dignity
and for expanding economic
opportunities"
No Third Party
Mr.. Bowles believes the re-
alignment will take place
within the existing political
framework and not through a
third party. Because of its
past history he thinks the
Democratic Party is the more
likely vehicle, but by no means
the certain one because of the
civil rights issue. And the i'm
petus toward the realignment,
as he sees. will derive as much
from business leaders and
their growing awareness of
world problems as from any
other group.
Mr.. Bowles has served with
distinction in Federal posi-
tons, as Governor of Connec-
ticut and. as Ambassador to
India and Nepal. With this
book he may qualify as a
political philosopher - and
even, perhaps, a prophet.

Art Book Review


ART, WASHINGTON. BY
John Walker. Harry N.
Abrams. Inc: $685.
A few weeks after The Ma
tional Gallery of Art cele-
brated its 18th anniversary,
this bound portfolio was pub
lished. the first in a new series
on the great museums of
America and Europe.
This book has several out
standing virtues. First, John
Walker. chief curator of the
Gallery. who will shortly be its
director. wrote the text; every !
art lover in Washington is
surely acquainted with Mr..
Walkers magic with words.
Here he captures the average
readers interest with his OPEN +
ing sentence, and in a brief,
lively narrative he surveys the
successive efforts in Washing,
ton. beginning in 1886, toward
a national gallery, and tells
how close we came to failure,
even after Melons magnifi-
cent gift.
Second virtue. the illustra- 4,
tions-24 full-page color plates
and IS two-tone black and
white, each with an incisive
paragraph of comment by Mr..
Walker. Third, while individ-
ual masters are emphasized,
from 18th century Byzantine
to Cezanne. this procession
actually adds up to highlight
history Of European painting
for 6 centuries.
The volume is as spirited and
excellent an introduction to
the National Gallery's collec-
tons as 1 have seen.

American reviewer has bowed
to what one called "a COM
manding talent"
Recently Mr.. Moore, a man
Of medium height, according to
those who saw him, with a
round face and a friendly
manner. came to New York to
see about a possible television
dramatization of his story of
a frantic old maid.
We had a chat with MIR.
Moore on the telephone. He
tells us he was born in 1921
in Belfast into an intensely
nationalistic, Catholic family.
An uncle, Eoin Mcneil was a
! prime mover in the Gaelic
League and a participant in
the Easter Rising of 1916. His
father was a prominent sur
geon. But Mr.. Moore does not
burn over the Partition and
other matters so rancorous to
Irish Nationalist. He has
travelled long and far. and he
regards those problems as "a
little bit ingrown."
Now Hard at Work
He went to London in 1943.
Joined the British Ministry OF
War Transport and served in
North Africa, Italy and France.
He did two years of postwar
service with an economic mis-
sion of UNRRA in Poland. In
1948 he emigrated to Canada,
toiled as a clerk in a BUSH
camp, and eventually realized
his ambition of becoming a
newspaperman on the Mont
real Gazette. Now living in a
suburb of Montreal with his
French-Canadian wife and
two-year-old son, he spends
all his time writing, and is
forging ahead with a second
novel, also with an Irish
setting.
1.-THE Lonely Passion OF
Judith Hearne." began as a
short story. About 8 years ago
Mr.. Moore (who pronounces
his first name as if it were
spelled Bree-an) sent it to the
Atlantic Monthly as "A Friend
of the Family" The magazine
sent it back with a note say
ing they'd like to see any novel
he might write. Little, Brown
imported it from England this
year after seeing ecstatic re-
views.
Mr.. Moore, who is so polite
he speaks of his heroine as
Miss Hearne" says he chose
the poor soul as the subject
of his first novel because he
didn't want his first novel to
be photographed.

Around the Corner

SKID ROW, U. S. A., by
Sarah Harris Doubleday;
$3.75) is a book that is long
overdue. 1t makes a serious
study Of the skid rows which
every city of any size unfor-
tunately has and she con-
siders what can be done about
them.
Mrs. Harris spent a lot of
time in these forlorn streets
in various sections of the
country. She talked to a great
many of their habitues, won
the confidence of enough to
hear typical stories.
While a majority Of skid
rowers drink whatever they
can get. it is surprising to find
Mrs. Harris concluding that
the majority of men :.
drink heavily because heavy
drinking is the pattern of their
world. Basically they are men
without egos, not adjective
alcoholics. They are on Skid
Row because they feel they be-
long there, and they drink
because all their companions
do"
Men Adrift
More than a few, she found,
were "mama's boys" so tied
to their mothers that when
they died. these men did not
know what to do with them
selves and could not adjust
to ordinary living.
Mrs. Harris talked to judges.
policemen, social workers and
others concerned in the prob
lem. She discovered no ready
made solution.
But she is convinced that
"the world of Skid Row., USA,
cannot be ignored because,
strange and twisted beyond
our comprehension though it
is. it is still right around the
corner from U.S."
Some cities, like San Fran
cisco. are trying to provide
medicine and psychiatric treat
ment for the victims, certain
that merely arresting these
persons as DRINKS, giving them
Jail terms. time after time, is
a human and economic waste,
accomplishing nothing.

pleasure that the Presidents
