refreshing that drink can be!
So 1t Is with Our Glad"-a
simple. charming story, which
deals with the joys and sor-

characters presumably found
in every English village, and
with Gladys Miller. the re-

After slow start, the story

four less talented but equally

Mr.. Kitchener interviewed
hundreds OF Hungarians as
they fed into Austria across
the exit he haunted for six
weeks. He saw their wretch

homes they knew. He watched
some of them caught or being
killed on the threshold of free

his finale lapSes into sermon
izing and strident warning.
Warning to America
He concludes that Amer
lea cannot continue to urge
mass detection Of nations I'M
der the Soviet heel and stand
forth only with oratorical con-
dolence when They do. He gives
notice that those who have
fed Hungary. whether street.

turn to any important role If
ever new Hungary emerges.
He urges America to ponder
a better course than cloth
ing drives and family adop-
tons If another Russian -domi-
mated country takes arms
without clearing it through
our State Deartment or Con-
gress.
Mr.. Kitchener perceives
eventual comfort in the con-
clusion that the Soviets can
no longer expect loyalty from
any satellite soldier or citizen.
He thinks they know that
they must 90 through life
