The Success Story
Of Conrad Hilton

Conrad N. Hilton, the
hotel magnate, didn't have it
easy. even after he owed a
string of hotels. In 1888.
when banks and other insti-
buttons, among them hotels,
were closing or going into
bankruptcy, Mr.. Hilton was
in desperate straits financi-
ally. For a while he ate what
a bellboy at his. Dallas hotel
thrust into his hands, one
day II $500. the youths
savings. But when seven
persons who believed in the
hotel man put up $4,000
each. on his unsecured sigma
ture, he was back in business,
and he went on to become
the country's outstanding
hotel owner.

Of this year, with the print
ers and binders completing
the book. came another sur
prise-a letter from Mr.. Ba-
ruch to Miss Colt wishing her
well in the project.
All this is brought out in
statements from the pub
fishers and from Miss Colt.
None of the difficulties she
encountered are apparent.
She has written with the au-
thority of adequate research,
the clarity of a writer who
thinks things out and the
artistry of one who under
stands and respects words.
The National Scene
Much of the national
scene from the administration
of President Wilson to that of
President Eisenhower neces-
sarily is laid bare in detailing
the life of a man who was
close to Washington through
out these regimes, with their
varied political compilations
and problems so divergent.
Miss Colt tries to restore to
Woodrow Wilson some of the
prestige he has lost through
the years. Philosophically, she
observes, the New Freedom
las Wilson's domestic pro-
gram was called laid the
foundation for both the New
Deal and the Fair Deal of the
future. Their basic concept
was the same: that govern
ment should take a positive
hand in the direction of the
national economy. This was a
landmark in American polit-
ical thinking - the substitu-
ton of public for private
morality in the concerns of
human interest"
She thus sums up Franklin

ground, woven unostenta-
tiously into the fabric of each
vignette, helps explain why
the men and women closest
to Christ acted as they did.
Seen through the eyes of
these "a contemporaries.
Christ assumes a many-sided
personality that is not always
brought out in such a study.
Even more, the characters
themselves become real and
understandable persons, even
those who harmed Christ
most.
This is a well-written book
that every man and woman
interested in Christ should
own.

EquatOria OF the PlanetlS, a
work of Godfrey Chaucer,
which for 500 years Ian
guished under the name of a
different author, one Simon
Dredon.
First Class Scientist
1.-THE Equatoria," Mr.. Price
says proudly, is as contempo-
rary as Sputnik in its still
accurate mapping of the
world of outer space. 1t also
provides fresh proof. if any
were needed, that Chaucer
was a man of parts.
Not only was he a civil
servant, as clerk of the works
and a career diplomat, an
immortal author (see THE
Canterbury Tales"), a master
of cipher, but a flrst-class
scientist" says this enthu-
siast.
Prize Discovery
Mr.. Price came upon the
manuscript in the Peterhouse
Library of Cambridge. where
it had been gathering dust
under its improper classifi-
cation for five centuries. It
took a bit of doing, but he
convinced medievalists not
only that it was an authentic
volume of Chaucer but, in
time, that it was the only
manuscript in Chaucer's
handwriting. The : volume
was published last year by
the Cambridge University
Press.
It never got the attention
of scientists because they do
not make a habit Of roofing
around among old manu-
scripts, nor of humanists be-
cause they had accepted the
mistaken authorship.
"Only a crank like myself
would have known" saws Mr..
Price happily.
Now he is preparing for
press another medieval It'd
bit. a 10th century Italian
magician's recipe book. 1t is
full, he says, of instructions
on how to make monsters.
how to do conjuring tricks
and how to make base metals
into gold.

d. Roosevelt: HE was diplo-
mat and demagogue, dictator
and democrat. his Unborn
conservatism Offset by the
desire to do new and startling
things Processing to be
the champion Of the Left, he
saved the country for the
Right. He could make a
fighting speech for the lib
erals and act with the utmost
conservatism"
Mr.. Baruch emerges clearly
from this 700-page book. Miss
Colt is always sympathetic to
his ideals and aims. She has
a particularly good account
of the high spot in his public
career when in 1916 as head
Of the American delegation to
the United Nations Atomic
Energy Commission he pro-
posed a sweeping plan for
world control of the new
power. His plan not only was
rejected by the Russian, but
sabotaged in part by some
officials of the Truman adj
ministration.
"FrustratiOn?"
Miss Colt quotes one of Mr..
Baruch's oldest and closest
friends as having said, IF I
had to sum up the career of
Bernard Baruch in one SEN
tence. I would term it frus-
tration."
Miss Colt adds: mo one
would deny this with more
vehemence than Baruch him.
self"
And she concludes that
there, then, is the tragedy.
Baruch, unwilling to face
defeat - Baruch, who has
always had to win, has taken
refuge behind his legend.
Having at least cooper
ated in creating Baruch the
Myth. Baruch the man has
become its victim. To be
known always as the adviser
of Presidents involves the
necessity of advising Presi-
dents who may be no idola-
tors of Baruch. That much
of the advice has been good,
coming from a luminous in
tellect, makes it the more
tragic that it has not always
been welcome to those who
were bearing the brunt of
public Office with all its ex-
posure to denunciation and
attack. One may well
summarize Baruch as a man
whose influence was great,
but how much greater he
would have been. how much
more glorious his success, had
he dared risk failure.
The book is a selection of
the Book -of-the-Month Club.

Miss Colts book, Of course,

like any penetrating biog-
raphy. sums up the man--not

the most important figures

The youthful, attractive
Miss Colt has done her work
with mastery. She was only
% when she won a Pulitzer
Prize for her biography of
John c. Calhoun in 1851. The
Baruch story must have been,
in a way. more difficult, for
she had to deal with so many
contemporary figures and to
assay them while they are
still on the scene, which re-
quires tact and prescience not
needed in looking back on
persons that flourished a
century ago.
There is, too, an interesting
story back of Miss Colts tri-
umphant venture. She had
just published her life of
Calhoun when Mr.. Baruch
called her and asked her to
be his biographer. At the
time she was a reporter on
a paper in the small town of
West Newbury, Mass. Mr..
Baruch turned over to her
all his private papers, includ-
ing the manuscript memoirs
covering his early life.
Many Difficulties
When, in 1855, Miss Colt
sent her manuscript to her
publishers, and a copy was
sent Mr.. Baruch for correc-
tons, he took exception to
some of Miss Colts conclu-
sions. particularly to her in
terpretations of himself. He
withdrew permission to quote
any private papers. The
manuscript had to be re-
written, with many sources
deleted. Then, in September
