Best Novel

AS usual, the greatest inter-
est was in the novel selected
for this honor. and among the
critics who came from all over
the country there was, also as
usual. a difference of opinion.
Some thought Mr.. Morris de-
served the award for his latest
novel. THE FIELD OF VISION,
published by Harcourt, Brace.
Others dissented sharply.
The National Book Awards
are bestowed by juries OF
judges in each of the fields.

There was less difference of
opinion concerning the nom

partisans of books which
