CAT AMONG THE PI-
GEONS, by Agatha Christie
Dodd, Mead and Co., $3.50.
Some say Miss Christie's re-
lance on successful disguise
is a form of cheating, and
we suppose it is. What's more,
her clues are technically hon.
est but of no use at all. Yet
the ratio of interesting to dull
Christie novels is so high,
much can be overlooked. Cat
Among the Pigeons is full of
surprises. 1t starts when the
crown jewels are smuggled
out of a Middle Eastern
kingdom Quilted by revolution
and ends in an English girls
school where the jewels su-
spected but undiscovered
presence, takes an astoniSh-
ingly high toll of schoolmis-
treSSes. Hercule Poirot appears
midway, but never succeeds
in wrestling center stage from
the faculty and students at
Meadowbank.

the time he was 4, his father
was in exile, his silly mother,
Marie Louise of Austria, was
neglecting him, and the en-
chanting child was locked in
a lifelong struggle with his
Austrian captors over his
French birthright and his
memories of his father.
His Mothers Betrayed
Marie Louise was a reluc-
tant bride, who became, ac-
cording to letters newly dis
covered, a fond wife. But
she deserves her sons ver-
dict, rendered after years Of
broken promises and softly
worded betrayals, kind
hearted but weak"
The little Napoleon was
a winsome lad, sensitive, po-
lite and uncommonly tough.
When his mother, after wav-
ering between her husband
and her father emperor
Francis of AUSTRIA, finally
chose her father, she con-
demned her son to virtual
Imprisonment and a split
existence which would have
shattered a less tenacious
spirit.
T'AigIOn"
His Austrian tutor, Count
Dietrichstein, with typical
Teutonic wooden-headednes
set to rout from the boys
mind all thoughts of France
and his father. The child,
renamed Franz and made to
speak German, fought his
despotic keeper gallantly,
eventually learned to keep
his thoughts to himself, and
had to bear Dietrichstein'S
reproaches for cold-hearted-
ness. His mother easily for
sock him. A dashing Aus
trian officer was appointed
her escort, and she soon gave
up the idea of joining Ma
poleon at Elba. When Napo-
leon broke out of his island
exile, the Indifferent mother
threw herself anew on her
fathers mercy.
The young Napoleon cap
tured the court of Austria.
The Austrian Emperor dotted

heart was never touched.
When a Buonopartist poet
went to the tutor to be asked
to speak to the boy, the
tutor, withholding permis-

famous by Rostand in "L'Aig-

they came to naught.

doctor for liver trouble, he

1900 PENNSYLVANIA AVE-

People, 1929-1959. By Wal
ter Johnson. (Little,
Brown; So
"One of the few political
truths about the American
system of Government"
writes DR.. johnson, "iS that
the President alone can give
the Nation an effective
leadership"
1t is in this framework
that this well-documented
historical study of the men
who have occupied the White
House in the last 80 years
has been written. At any
time it would be fascinating
reading; in this presidential
election year it should be a
must for those concerned
with the leadership in the
White House over the next
four years.
Eisenhower Rated
President Eisenhower'S
strength as a leader has been,
the author says, as "a unifier
of the Nation, an accom-
modator rather than a
provoker of controversy &.
who blurred issues, a tram
quilizer rather than a Stimu-
lant." The administrations
of Presidents Truman and
Roosevelt, in contrast, aroused
people and their leadership
over party as well as govern
mental affairs, often led to
controversy.
Mr.. Truman is credited
with wisdom in the great
decisions he made but, in the
authors words, he was "a
willful, bumptiouS partisan,
given to rash outburstS which
weakened his effectiveness as
Chief of State. :" DR..

Question: Okay, Mr.. Morris!
Fun is fun, but 1 don't think
it's fair to give us six misspelled
words in one of your word
games and say there are only
five. The word I refer to is
"frantically," which is surely a
wrong spelling of :"frantically."
Yet you didn't list it among the
errors. Whom are you trying to
kid?-P. J. K, Milwaukee, Wis.
Answer: I'm glad you asked
that question because I asked
it, too, when proofreading the
quiz. My original version was
"frantically" but somehow it
came out "franticly." I hastily

phoned my syndicate editor to
make the correction. Better
