To q Brutal Period

One of his achievements
as editor Of a Nuremberg
newspaper was applying pres
sure that led to the impris-
onment Of Julius Streicher.
With Andre Malraux, Mr..
Regler was honored at a
Moscow writer's conference
in 1894.
Perhaps because he was
treated relatively well by the
Communists. Mr.. Regler
tended to ignore his own
doubts. But his sweetheart,
Marie Louise Voegeler, a
blond German girl, was more
fortnight in her opinions.
Regler fought in Spain
with the International Bri-
gade and was severely
wounded. But the Hitler
Stain pact completed his
disillusionment and he
bolted the Communist Party.
The French then flung him
into a concentration camp
for political prisoners. After
wards, he went to Mexico
where his ex-comrades har-
assed him and the United
States refused to admit him.
To heighten his abandon
ment, Marie Louise died.
Mr.. Regler was basically a
"do-gooder" who failed to
find the environment he was
looking for. But he wit
messed many dramatic Incl
dents involving some of the
men who fulfill the Krem-
Inns orders. His autobiog-
raphy provides some inter-
esttng footnotes to a brutal

When the Communist Party
decided to liquidate a Euro

1930s he was sent on a spe-
cial mission inside Nazi Ger
many. The tip was passed
by the Reds to the Gestapo
and the victims trap was
sprung.
Even the most dedicated
Communist workers were ap-
palled. But Gustav Regler,
a refugee from Hitler. in his
autobiography The Owl of

treachery as we'll as bureau
cratic petty tyranny which
repelled many of the party
stalwarts.
Regler helped to produce a
moving picture which was to
be used against the Nazis in
an effort to influence the
Saar plebiscite. The film was
approved on higher Red
echelons. But after one
showing in the Sasrland it
was banned by local Com
munist officials because it
failed to show Stain.
Regler was a World War I
veteran of the German army
who turned to the party be-

only hope for his country. As

blamed Avery, in effect helped
the hated police, and he was
placed more or less in Coven-

from an alcoholic mother and
a tough brother. He had gone
to work for q white tavern
keeper. who let him sleep on
the premises. He was going

his dimes and quarters for

But the cards were stacked
against Fred, partly because
of his race.
Characters Well Drawn
He is a memorable char
acter. Another is the blind,
one-legged ex-major, a white
man who also had a room at
Fred's tavern and played the
piano for his keep. The ma
jor had been in both World
Wars and fought with the
Marines in Haiti. He had
won decorations and thought
every man should fight and
tried to bring up his two
sons in his steps. but one Of
them saw wars for what they
are. The aging major some
times wondered whether he
was right, whether a career
in and out Of wars had been
worth while.

shifts to the present tense

suspense.

A SHROUD FOR A
JOURNEY. Bv Bill Case,

JOChNEf. BY Bill Casey.
(Houghton Mifflin; $500
This first novel is. in a
way, the most powerful of
the three here considered,
but is unfortunately marred
by a structural defect which
weakens some of its force.
Mr.. Casey. a Texan, has
written of a Texas family,
the Kellys, who are strong
willed. muscular, determined
and pugnacious. They are
doomed. each in his or her
way. as families sometimes
are.
In the present setting Of
the narrative, Earl Kelly is
the last of the clan surviv-
ing. And he has struck down
and brought a serious con-
cussion to an older man who
was discussing in a tavern
Earls late father, Floyd. The
man was praising Floyd, and
Earl does not know-he was
not drunk-why he struck
out at the man, except that
he was perhaps tired of hear
ing about his fathers curious
exploits.

Earl. too. is damned, at
least on this earth. Some one
is hunting him down, with q
gun, and we know from the
first that his fate is breath
ing down his back, invisible,
but just behind him, fast
catching up.
We look back, from time to
time, on Earl's father, Floyd,
on the latter's mother, Ma
Kelly, on Floyd's brothers,
Vernon and Corel.
That's the main trouble
with this poetic yet sinewy
narrative. the way the flash
backs are managed. We find
ourselves, without orienta-
ton, looking over Floyd's
shoulder, or at Ma or Vernon,
and then, the next moment,
watching Earl's last forlorn
journey. A timely phrase or
two, a transitional sentence,
would have prevented this
confusion in time and space.
But Bill Casey is a gifted
writer. He is an instructor in
English at the University of
Texas where he plans to take
his Ph.D. in June.
