At the luncheon, it was also
announced that Harold w

How to Meet
Red Threats
To the u. S.
THIS is THE CHALLENGE.

THIS is THE CHALLENGE.
BY William Benton. (Asso-
ciated College Presses;
$3.50
The real Soviet threat to
the United States. and a
threat of great proportions,
is the gigantic Russian pro-
gram Of mass education,
scientific training. techno-
logical export of men and
goods, and propaganda virtu-
osity."
This is the theme, and a
ringing one it is, Of former
Senator Benton's book, a
compilation of speeches, arti-
Giles and statements he has
made since his 1855 visit to
the Soviet Union.
To call Mr.. Benton "for-
mer Senator" seems sadly in
adequate to describe this
public figure, who has been,
besides a Senator, an Assist
ant Secretary Of State, pub
Usher Of the Encyclopedias
Britannica. a successful ad-
vertising executive, vice pres
ident of the University of
Chicago, United States repre-
sentative to UNESCO and
other international bodies,
, co-founder Of the Commit
tee for Economic Develop
ment. and has held posts in
other important services to
the Nation.
So well qualified in both
education and public affairs,
Mr.. Benton's words carry the
weight Of authority. He hits
his theme hard and expertly.
and the result will give
thoughtful Americans pause.
This is no post-Sputnik
where are we failing" plant.
but rather a carefully pro-
jected analysis of what the
Russians are doing. After
discussing that, Mr.. Benton
has some concrete sugges-
tons as to what we can do
about it.
This is not an encourage
ing book: it is frankly aimed
at disturbing our intellectual
complacency. 1t succeeds very
well. FRED THEROUx.

AUTOCRAT OF THE
BARGAINING TABLE. BY

n ~ " ~ N n " nL
BARGAINING TABLE. BY
Eldorous L. Dayton.
(Devin-Adair Co.; $4.50)
Senator Barry Goldwater
and others who consider Wal
ter Reuther more ominous to
the future of America than
the Soviet SputnikS can find
more than ample justification
for their views in this new
biography.
But Mr.. Dayton proves no
help for anyone seeking in
sight into the red-headed
enigma from Detroit who
now looms so large on the
economic and political scenes
as president of the United
Auto Workers.
Mr.. Dayton writes in the
evangelical but entertaining
style of the political PAM
phleteer. He depicts Reu-
theirs rise from laborer to
labor baron as part Of what
he considers the United
States decline Of the past so
years.
Sc. =. our boosted freedom
is a mockery, for We are in
the grip of political, social.
racial and religious forces we
do not have the courage to
face" he complains. This
view is in keeping with other
ultra-conservative polemics
recently published.
Mr.. Dayton, a longtime
newsman, tells only the anti
Reuther version of confused
labor battling during the
JAWS turbulent infancy.
His reportage' is equally sus-
pect in handling the cur
rent JAW strike against
Kohler Co. of Wisconsin,
packing five factual errors
into three paragraphs at one
point.
He weakens his criticism
of Reuther's extreme socio-
economic views and JAW
strike violence by refusing to
accept at face value the
labor boss's praiseworthy
ventures. even his fight
against Communist -hoodlum
raids on workers pay enve-
lopes.

David Stirling. a 6-foot-6-

great tradition of British
buccaneers. Organizer of his

was that the British regard
ed the desert as just another
navigable sea offering as
much challenge and protec-
ton.
Strings plans were as
brazen as their execution.
With a handful of men and
an assist from the equally
bold Long Range Desert
Group. he Stormed enemy
airlelds in jeeps. Under the
noses Of, and even with a bit
of help. from German and
Italian soldiers. he and his
group would steal into enc
my installations. plant their
incendiary time-bombs and
then scuttle back to the des-
ert to hide. Each project
would be referred to in the
classic British way as "a bit
Of fun" and summarized as
IAN evening out" But their
high spirits did not keep
them from being murderously
competent. Their tally. be-
fore Stirling was captured by
a specific command from
Rommel. included over $50
airplanes destroyed on the
ground. dozens of supply
dumps and miscellaneous
random havoc.
Miss CowleS, a former
American correspondent now
married to a British NJ. p,
does full justice to the blood
stirring tale with its hair
breadth escapes and under
stated derring-do. And she
has understood perfectly
the concept Of war as a
