A handful of Frenchmen

But. when William Of Orange
marched into London and sent
James scooting back to the
protection OF Louis and

was sealed.
The British colonists played
for keeps. They dug in on
their land to possess 1t forever

was the half-won allegiance Of

THE SHORT REIGN OF
PIPPIN Nv Viking: 49,
This novel, as brief and
pointed as Pippin's tenure on
the throne of France, is wholly
a delight.
1t is something Evelyn
Waugh might wish he had
done, and ! doubt if he would
have done as well with a
theme that has been lying
around waiting for an author.
Close to Truth
This satire is so effective be-

books of the genre, it is close
to the truth. You can hardly
exaggerate the absurd COM
plexity of modern French
politics-the multiplicity of
parties. the almost proverbial

The royalists are split into
many factions - Orleanists,
Burgundians. Bourbons, Bon
apartists and what not-and
duels are fought. Finally they
compromise on an innocuous
amateur astronomer named
Pippin Heristal, who is sup

THE TOWERS OF TREBI-


FOND. BY Rose Macaulay.
(Farrar, Straus & Cudahy;
S3.75.)
Rose Macaulay is writing
about a theme that many Of
us had begun to think of as
the exclusive property Of
those two Catholic novelists,
Graham Greene and Evelyn
Waugh. That of course is the
tug of faith on the soul of a
sinner. Miss Macaulay is deal
ing with Anglicans. but the
difference is deeper than that.
She has her own way, eschew-
ing both the emotional barbed
wire md broken glass of Mr..
Greene and the silken GER
taintieS of Mr.. Waugh.
She has cast her great ques-
ton in the outline of an un-
likely story about an i'm
probable mission to the Middle
East. This expedition to con-
vert Moslems to anglicanism
and their women to feminism
is captained by Aunt Dot,
formidable English eccentric,
who keeps her own camel and
feels that the chief end of
life is travel. Her companion
is a very high Anglican clergy
man. Father Hugh Chantry-
Pigg. The narrator is Aunt
Dots niece. who for ten years
has been the mistress Of a
married man. She cannot
break either the hold of her
lover nor that of the church
which her forefathers have
served for centuries.

BY Laszlo Beke. The Vik-

One Of the students who
helped to start the Hungarian
instruction and lived to tell
about it presents a recon-
structed diary Of the voluntary
auto da fe which scared the
soul Of the Magyar nation.
1t is a simply told story Of
the abortive revolution as seen
by one man. The narrowness
OF the authors vantage point
is a drawback. But what SOL
dier ever knows very much
about the battle he survives?
Laszlo Beke, which is not his
name, knew very we'll what he
had done and seen and he tells
1t wildly.
Readers will have TO go else
where for a broader picture
of the martyrdom of Budapest.

SAY, DARLING. BY Richard

lantic; $685.
Mr.. Bissell has a wonderful
ear for the irrelevancies and
inanities of which so much
human exchange is made up.
That alone would make Say,
Darling" a treat. But more
than that Mr.. Bissell has taken
his good ear to Broadway, and
put it right down to the
ground. For all those who
have remained unreconstructed
about the glamor, glitter and
general charm Of Broadway,
Mr.. Bissell's whole book is
music, that's all. Mr.. Bissell
finds Manhattan a gritty. noisy,
weird. crowded, rude city and
he says so. with perfect good
nature. with something very
like charm and with deadly
accuracy. He also finds that
show business is a rather tedi-
GUS one, with long delayed re-
wards.
Like his hero, Mr.. Bissell,
wrote a book which is turned
into a musical comedy. That
is how collaborating with
George Abbott Mr.. Bissell's

NEW LOOK
Acheson
Accuses
Congress
BY EARL H. vOss

Dean Acheson, former Sec
rotary Of State, is concerned
that the growing complexities
of the modern world-scien-
tific, social and political-are
passing our Congress by. The
danger is less, as he sees it, that
Congress will lose its power
than that Congress will abuse
10 through ignorance.
In A CITIZEN LOOKS AT
CONGRESS Harper; $2.50) +,
Mr.. Acheson supports a now
widely-held view that modern
times have forced on the
President the responsibility to
lead, and on the Congress the
responsibility mainly to fol-
low-to make whatever pre-
voting notifications 1t can
wisely undertake before poll
cies are instituted. and then to
pick over the ruins and sue
cesses later on in search of les
sons for the future.
Committee System
The veto, Mr.. Acheson notes.
is now more likely to be exer-
cised by Congress than by the
President.
The congressional committee
system is a master admins
trative instrument, Mr.. Ache
son believes, if it is used wisely.
But coordination sometimes
becomes a problem. At times,
the author says scathingly.

sembles a pack Of beagles go

With some feeling Mr.. Ache
son warns against Congress

ceived most Of the blame.
He Met Oftener
AS for the Republican boast
that Secretary Of State Dulles
meets unusually often with
Congress. Mr.. Acheson points
out he met with congressional
groups pa times in four years.
compared with Mr.. Dulles 100
times in about three years.
The author puts down as
"a central truth" that "rela-
tons between the executive
and legislative branches of our
Government were not de-
signed TO be restful." He &C
cepts philosophically these
frictions in return for the pro-
lection against usurpations by
either of too much power.
Another reflection. of his
four-year stint in the Secre-
tary OF States chair is his i'm
patience with oversimplifica-
ton. Two illustrations:
Cd He castigates Congress
for personifying foreign gov
ernments and expecting them
to act like persons instead Of
representatives of groups. Too
many Congressman expect
governments to act with the
morality Of individuals. not
with the complex motives Of
their own constituencies back
home. Mr.. Acheson says.
% The "scapegoat SIM
pliflication," which the Re-
publicans used so devasta-
tingly against him. throws
sand in the gears of govern
ment. the author warns. When
something goes wrong. Mr..
Acheson finds too much effort
wasted in looking for a scape-
goat. not enough in accepting
the unpleasant reality that the
United States is not "omnip-
otent." cannot dictate the re-
suits 1t seeks.
