Contemporary japanese art
can be scrutinized at leisure
this summer at the Corcoran
Gallery of Art, as mentioned
in the review here June 30,
Of Kiyoshi Saito's admirable
woodblock prints.
In the Institute Of Contem-
porary Arts room at the Cor
coran, is q collection Of IS oil
paintings by six avant-garde
painters Of Japan. Selected
by Annemarie Pope, director
Of the Smithsonian Institu-
TONS Travelling Exhibition
Service during her sojourn in
Japan, the collection will re-
main at the Corcoran until
September /. after which 1t
will start on q national cir.
cult.
These contemporary jap
anese painters are all men Of
experience and reputation.
They range In age from 40 to
the mid sos. All graduated
from art schools or colleges,
are members Of professional
organizations including an
avant-garde art association
founded by two Of them; all
participate in group exhibi-
tons. several have had one.
man shows. and four Of them
exhibited at the International
Water Color Exhibition at
the Brooklyn Museum two
years ago.
1t seems advisable to estab-
lish the eminence of these
artists in their own country,
for the lay visitor to the In
stitute's gallery at the Cor
coran is not likely to find
these paintings interesting or
appealing, no more so than
they find our own abstract
expressionists. Three Of these
Japanese abstract painters
studied in Europe for several
years. so it is not surprising

Early this year Mr.. Nor
ris received the National
Book Award for his 1856
novel. 1.-THE Field Of VISION"
q reflective story revealing
the views and past lives Of
several persons at the mo-
ment attending q Mexican
bull tight.
Mr.. Morris is an unpre-
dictable novelist, which Is to
his credit, since he does not
keep repeating some formula
which has proved successful.
This is his eleventh book
since he started publishing
in 1912, and these books show
q wide diversity Of theme and
mood, ranging from the ludi-
crous to the ironically seri-
Gus.
Love Among the Canni-
balls" is more in the vein of
some Of his earlier novels,
light in tone-perhaps decep-
lively so-and entertaining.
Song Writers ON Tour
1t is. at least on the sur
face, q colloquial. sexy story
of two former war comrades
who are Q more or less sue
cessful song writing team
"the poor mans Rodgers and
Hart" they call themselves.
The opening scene is in the
Los Angeles area. The story
is told by the lyric writer.
Mac writes the music. Mac
is a silent type, whose most
voluble contribution to q
conversation usually is,
Man, that's great" Mac
takes up with a chick" q
Southern girl whose Dixie
accent appears as thick as
sorghum. Earl, the narrator,
falls violently in love, or so
he supposes. with q sort Of
governess.
The four of them, the song
writing team and the two
girls, drive to Mexico. At
Acapulco, where there are
typical complications. such as
having their car stripped Of
everything removable. Mac
and Billie suddenly get mar
ried. Earl and the girl called
the Greek do not. and the
girl becomes FESTIVE.
The story seems on the
thin side. Perhaps it is in
tended to be q fable for our
day. but If so Its symbolism
eludes me.

Sheriff Had

BAIT MASTERSON. Rv Ric

bAT MASTEHSON. BY Rich
ard O'Connor. Double
day; $3.75)
In an era when the fastest
man on the draw was q prime
target for every drunk and
would-be gunman who de-
sired the dubious reputation
Of gun-slinger, Bat Master
son, the famous frontier sher-
III, became a living legend.
Most Of his contemporaries,
though maybe a shade fas-
ter. succumbed to the Short
lived effects Of hot lead dealt
out by some irate lawman or
impetuous young cowboy.
Perhaps Masterson's survival
from buffalo hunter to Jour-
nalist can best be attributed
to nerves and wits, or the
ability to know when to re-
treat without loss Of face.
The author attempts to
eliminate the popularity con-
ceived notions held by both
Americans and foreigners Of
the western gundghter.
Such men as Doc Holiday,
Ben Thompson, william Bon
ney. John Wesley Hardin,
Wyatt carp and King Fisher,
ranged In personalities from
psychopathic killers to adj
venturers or lawmen.
King Fisher, who when
asked why he shot q bald man
In the head replied, II Just
wanted TO see II q bullet
would bounce on his shiny
head" But they all had one
thing in common-the abil-
ity to use their firearms with
terrible eficiency. It Is note
worthy that not many Of
these professionals ever shot
one anot Or.

French Novel
LINES OF LIFE. BY Fran

LINES OF LIFE. BY Fran
co.'s Mauriac. (Farrar,
StrauS g. Cudahy; $500
With his wonted sombre
knowledge of humanity, M.
Mauriac traces the turmoil
in the heart Of a provincial
widow Of so, who is aroused
from a lifelong preoccupa-
ton with farm ledgers to a
wintry passion for a young
wastrel from Paris.
Elizabeth Gornac had
thought she loved only the
land. With her father-in-law
she had lowered increasingly
over the ancestral vineyards
and pine trees. But when
beautiful young Bob LaGave.
"a pet animal trained to eat
from many hands," comes to
convalesce at his grandmoth-
er's farm, Elizabeth herself
falls prey to disconcerting
STRINGS and impulses.
Against all reason. she aids
and abets Bob's love affair
with a young aristocrat. She
neglects the vineyards. She
storms at her fanatical, self
righteous young son. who at
tempts to wreck the romance
with pious revelations Of
Bob's dissipation to the girl.
Elizabeth Gornac is wracked
by a tardy knowledge Of a
capacity for love.
M. Mauriac writes with q
true Gallo economy and pre-
cision. He draws people with
a dry acceptance Of their
folly, their materialism, an
effortless understanding Of
the different religions men
live by. Every word advances
the progress Of the simple,
sad story. In comparison
with him, other modern
writers seem merely to babble.

Views on Youth

One of the most thought
full books I've read on the
problem of youth in trouble
is DELINQUENCY: SICK
NESS OR SIN? by Richard
v. Mccain. (Harper; So
Mr.. Mccain, who is on the
faculty Of the Andover New
ton Theological School and
directed a two-year seminar
on delinquency for the Har-
ward Divinity School. ex-
amines the complexities Of
the situation effectively,
then states his conclusions
without pulling any punches.
THE anti-social acts and
attitude Of the delinquent"
he decides, can be regarded
as symptoms Of an illness Of
the mind. personality and
spirit. He is i'll. He may
also be wrong. But we must
not be enticed into the over
simplification Of calling him
wrong and the consequent
delusion that the problem Of
right and wrong penetrates
to the core Of the issue
Society has tried to rid itself
Of the criminal by isolating
him. by Furnishing him and
by accommodating him.
But delinquency and crime
have not vanished nor even
diminished"
The criminal population.
especially that segment Of
it which Is behind bars
affords a kind Of externali-
zation Of our conscience and
keeps it under lock and key,
where 1t can not plague US
quite so much"
Mr.. McCann feels that the
church should do more. He
considers the various ways in
which juvenile courts, proba-
ton officers and welfare
agencies are trying to help
young persons who have
slipped, and he commends
the aim and direction Of
these efforts. There are nu-
merous case histories.
