Career Civil Servant
Mr.. Reads is a complete,
objective, scholarly treatment
of the years from 1870 to
1898, when the good William
Cecil was at the right hand
of Elizabeth, attempting both
to divine her will and steer it
through the tortuous mar
riage negotiations which were
so large a part of foreign
policy. 1t was a fearsome job
to read the mind of such a
devious woman-particularly
during the narrowing time
when Elizabeth wished Mary
to be dead but did not want
to kill her. Burghley, the
perfect career civil servant,
held steady to his course
throughout. He never lost the
Queens favor. When he lay
dying she fed him with a
spoon. When he died, she
wept.

this handbook, however, is
about singers, not songs. And
what a varied list it is of
people who find pleasure land

folksongs. Here are a few:

wanderer in all the States and
many foreign countries sing
ing as he goes, recorder of
untold folksongs during the
last IS years, such an author
ity that he has lectured at the
University of California. THE
details of his life are scanty
and Eskin does little to lift
the veil". (Mr. Lawless judges
rightly that there's a good
autobiography here.)
They Are Folk Items
A good many of these folk
singers have not co-operated
by sending in sufficient bio
graphical material. Some, a
reader gathers, have been
willing but not entirely trust
worthy. For instance, of Dick
Devall the author writes "he
spells it Devoll."
Some Of the biographies are
folk items in themselves. OF
one singer it is said a. his
only release was music, sex

adds: "In the heat of debate
over public versus private

IVA have gone overheard in
their defense of public power
and cheap power rates. They

mental issue, which is an

Too Many Farmers
The author is certain that
"far more families are trying
to make a living from farm
ing than Southern agricul-
tural resources can possibly
support at a level Of living
comparable with that af-
forded by similar non-farm
occupations"
Migration from the farms
alone cannot solve the prob
lem, he feels. Industrializa-
tion in rural areas is highly
desirable but unlikely to
move fast enough to help
much for a long time.
The racial situation is
holding back the South. Mr..
Nichols firmly believes. He is
not hopeless, but says: "As
solid as race-oriented tradi-
tions in the South appear to
be, they are being steadily
weakened by the much more
solid economic progress that
the South already has made
and. with patient and wise
leadership, will continue to
make"

AN EPIDEMIC OF GENIUS.

BY Ira Wolfert. (Simon
and Schuster. $4.500
There was once a desolate
region in the Southwest
called the Dust Bowl, and the
story of its distressed Okies
was dramatically told by
John Steinbeck in THE
Grapes Of Wrath"
But technology and SCI
ence have brought fertility
and economic stability to the
once devastated Great Plains.
The long fight against dust,
drought and famine, and the
accompanying advances in
dry-land farming are de-
scribed as one of the features
of Ira Wolfert's new book,
IAN Epidemic Of Genius"
A Wonderland
Mr.. Wolfert, a veteran re-
porter. has gone out for a
close look at what he calls
the wonderland of technol-
ogy,, and has written with a
great deal of animation about
its effects upon the people it
involves. The push-button
era is wiping out many old
jobs, but also creating new
ones.
Here are some of its ac-
complishments: Out in the
Gulf of Mexico in several
hundred feet of water, costly
rigs drill for oil using imagi-
native methods and special
tools that were evolved for
this relatively new operation.
In the mining regions, huge,
complex machines bring out
coal faster than ever before.
Elsewhere, IA other machines
produce 80 per cent of all the
electric bulbs in the United
States above flashlight size,
as we'll as all the radio and
television tubes except pic
ture tubes.
When industry finds itself
with questions it can't an
swer. it turns to the Bureau
Of Standards. The bureaus
laboratories frequently can
provide solutions to battling
problems.
Baltimore Tunnel
The feat of laying two
connected tubes for the Bal
timore tunnel was another
engineering triumph. The
man who directed this was
Ole Singstadt, 75-year-old
designer, who for years stood
almost alone in the tunnel
designing field.
When Mr.. Singstadt COM
pleted the Holland Tunnel in
1927, skeptics waited for the
disaster that never arrived.
An automobile tunnel would
inevitably be a death trap
because of the ventilation
problem, said a great many
well-informed people, in
cluding a scientist named
Thomas Alva Edison.

The folksong has reached
such a point of sophistication
that the learned Internation-
al Folk Music Council has
had to adopt an official def
milton: Music that has sub
mitted to the process of oral
transmission: it is the prod
uct of evolution and is de-

account of how one famous
folksong originated. He chose
Home on the Range" 1t is
cited as an example of a
known, popular composition
which develops into a folk
song.
The facts aren't too clear,
and Mr.. Lawless' account
isn't either. But apparently
this typical folksong" origi-
mated in this way:
The words were written by
DR.. Brewster Higley of Smith
County, Kans., in 1873, and
the music by a neighbor,
Daniel E. Kelley. The first
title was my Western
Home" 1t was known to some
extent through the Middle
West in the intervening years,
being played at dances and
play parties" 1t was picked
up as a folksong in 1908 by
John A. Lomax in a mesquite
grove back of a saloon in
San Antonio, Tex, and first
reprinted by him as a folk
song in 1910. 1t first came to
national attention in the
1930s, was adopted as the
official State song of Kansas
in 1947. The pioneer log
cabin where DR.. Higley lived
was dedicated as a shrine in
1854.

THE COMMUNIST PARTY

OF THE SOVIET UNION.
By Leon ard Schapiro.
(Random House: $7.500
There is hardly a more
complicated task for a histo-
rian in the West than to
write a comprehensive his
tory of the Soviet Commu-
mist Party. Several good
biographies of Communist
leaders have been published,
and all of them have neces-
sarily dealt with some Pc
riods Of the history Of the
party. But Leonard Scha-
piro's book is unique because
it tells the entire story in one
volume and tells it compre-
hensively and in a fairly
readable form "A feature
usually not easily attainable
in books of this nature.
The first part of the book
describes the origins of the
Bolshevik movement and the
emergence of Lenin as the
future leader of the Commu-
mist Party. If this part ap-
pears somewhat boring to
some readers, it is. neverthe-
less, a must" for those who
wish to know how the seeds
of today's division of the
world into two camps had
been sown long before Rus
sia was taken over by the
BolshevikS. In fact, Lenin of
1917 and KhruShchev of 1860
cannot be correctly evaluated
without uncovering the roots
of the Bolshevik conspiracy.
TOtalitarianism
All the features of the to-
talitarian dictatorship can
be easily discovered in the
behaviour Of Lenin at the
beginning of this century.
Mr.. Schapiro must be con-
graduated for the mastery
with which he analyzed the
schiSm between Bolsheviks
and Mensheviks and laid bare
Lenin's forceful drive towards
establishment of his dicta-
torship within the party, us
ing methods of subverSion
and deceit. "Lenin could veer,
prevaricate, intrigue and SOW
confusion, seeking support
from the devil himself if
it offered, without for a

period could provide suffi-
cient information to assist
the reader in making definite
conclusions on the future
development of the Soviet
Communist Party. Lack of
substantiated information
about the struggle for power
in the post-Stalin era has led
to various interpretations
which are contradictory.
Only time will show which of
the theories is correct.
After Stain
Describing the struggle be-
tween various members with
in the ruling circle in the last
decade of Stalin's life, the
author divides the contest
ants into old StaliniSts and
neo-Stalinists and tries to
use this division as an ex-
planation of the meaning of
the struggle for power after
Stalin's death. This division
seems to be somewhat arti-
f1cial since many neo-Stal-
iniStS suffered defeat in 1857
(MalenkoV, Bulganin, Shep-
ilov and their followers)
while such an old feminist
and StaliniSt as Kuusinen was
admitted to the top party
body. He can hardly be dis
counted because of his old
age and his low intellectual
gifts, as the author assumes.
since Kuusinen played an ex-
tremely important role in the
Komintern during the Stain
period. On the other hand,
the intellectual level of the
"victors" can be questioned.
There are some factual in
accuracies. For instance, it
would be wrong to assert that
Molotov was not allowed to
deliver a report on foreign af-
fairs at the goth party con-
greSS and that such a report
was made by Shepiloy. In
fact, there was no special re-
port on foreign affairs at the
congress, and Shepilov, as
well as Molotov, spoke in de-
tail on foreign policy matters.
I. 1. Kuzmin's career is de-
Scribed as having been spent
entirely" in the party ap-
paratuS. Actually from 1947
to 1852 Kuzmin occupied high
positions in government.
Skilled Analyst
These small defects do not,
OF course, in any way impair
the value of Mr.. Shapiro's
book since it is based on au-
thentic. primary and second
ary sources which are used
with the skill of a scholar
and a f1rst-rate analyst. The
appearance of this book is
very timely, as it is an excel
lent antidote to the new re-
vised edition of the History
of the CPSU" recently pub
lished in the Soviet Union.
Like the first edition, the Sec
ond is also a distortion of
historical facts although it
correctS the first version as
far as Stalin's role in the
party is concerned.

Far too many of the 200 million
pieces of mail that flow through
Veterans Administration hospitals
and Offices each year cannot be
properly identified, the VA disclos-

Too many veterans and their de-
pendents merely sign their names
to correspondence, and names are
not enough.
This still occurs at the Whining
ton VA Regional Office, Leon
Fields, manager, agreed. VA local
ly receives about $4,000 pieces of
mail monthly. An estimated 40 out
of every 100 pieces of mail does not
properly identify the sender or the
veteran. The VA official said this
causes delay and extra correspon-
dence. Oft-times, nothing can be
done with the incomplete corre-
spondence because it lacks re-
turn address, too.
This is especially true when the
correspondence may involve a vet
