Mr.. Straight Writes
Impressive New Novel

CARRINGTON. by Michael
Straight (Knopf; $4.50). a
book by another Washington
writer, is a novel that evokes
powerfully a military trag-
edy Of the old West.
The story is written around
the Fetterman Massacre near
Fort Phil Kearny in North
ern Wyoming in the winter
of 1866. Probably, as the
publisher points out, this
stands as a military disaster
with the Alamo and Clusters
last stand.
Today a tablet marks the
field where 1t. Col. William
J. Fetterman, two other Off
GERS and rs privates Of the
18th Infantry and the I'd
Cavalry and four civilians
were wiped out by Sioux
under the command of Red
Cloud. There were no white
survivors.
Why 1t Happened
Mr.. Straight has attempt
ed, after spending months at
the scene and studying all
available records, to explain
the massacre, at least why it
happened. Apparently there
was, as in Clusters case, a
disregard of orders and an
arrogance that underesti-
mated the enemy. The sur
rounding facts are well docu-
mented, but the author has
filled in the gaps. wisely fol-
lowed the pattern of histori-
cal fiction. which gave him
more freedom and undoubt-
edly made his story more
absorbing.
MI. Straights unhappy
hero is not Fetterman, the
reckless, loving Civil
War officer. The central figure
is Col. Henry Darlington, the
commander at Fort Phil
Kearny. a cultured, careful
man, who realized that their
only safety lay in defending
the fort. Darlington, unfortu-
nately, had been an organizer
and paperworker and never
saw action in the then recent
war. He was hated and dis

The Known Authors
Once the established lite
rati became adjusted to war
time living. they fused and
pouted as usual. Mr.. Lehman
sought to enlist Dylan
Thomas as a steady con-
tributor with regular pay
ments. but the copy was
never forthcoming. Chris
topher Isherwood and Wysten
Auden took of to sweep up
gold in Hollywood streets
and were roundly denounced.
Stephen Spender turned his
back on New Writing" and
joined its rival. Horizon"
1T must be admitted there
were some angry scenes and
exchanges of letters between
Stephen and myself" writes
Mr.. Lehman.
EscapiSm at Work
Tory hostesses entertained
and brought together writer's,
actors and painters with
politicians, soldiers and other
public figures. The pubs were
crowded with Americans.
Britons back from Africa,
and all the workers and mill
tary people from many lands
the war had flung together.
But the buzz bombs that
roared in late in the war were
more devastating to the
strained city than the blitz
had been. The only comfort
was in work, and in Mr.. Leh-
mann's view work was the
adrenalin that helped endure
things that appeared unen-
durable.

little, Brown & Co.,
$6.500
A friendship of 10 years
gave Miss Cowles the idea of
writing about Salvador Dali
and she has fallen into the
spirit of the master eccentric.
After a few chapters of rou-
tine biographical material
she discusses him as man,
artist, writer. poet, designer.
raconteur, social figure.
There is a list of the titled
members of the Dali set"
and an account of one spec
tacularly exclusive dinner he
was invited to. She even
gives the Dali diet" china,
glass, Seafood and birds. The
author suggests that this book
not be read straight through
but rather in bits. 1T would
be such a Dalinian way to
read" says she.
Happy Insights
Tossed into the verbal COL
lage are happy insightS, from
Miss Cowles and from others.
To her he is "the King of
the Age of Anti-reason."
Where does he stand as an
artist? Is there any sense in
those mad paintings featur-
ing soft watches, human
breasts with drawers coming
out of them, lips shaped like
sofas? Miss CoWles frequently
seems about to answer these
questions but she scurries to
the cover of quotations from
art critics. They call him a
great craftsman, but keep
talking about Latent para
noia." The high in under
statement goes to Bennett
Cert, who once referred to
him as that somewhat diff
ferent artist"
Chester Dale, president of
the National Gallery of Art,
writes an appraisal especially
for Miss Cowles' book and he
doesn't hesitate to call Dali a
great artist. But Mr.. Dale's
affection for him is already
famous in the very visible
form of the controversial

Senator Humphrey, as the
common mans candidate,
probably had a better excuse
for this common grammati-
cal slip. OF Senator Kennedy,
the friend of Bartlett's, bet
ter things might have been
expected.
Neither Senator reached
heights of eloquence or rhet-
oric in their innumerable
speeches across the stolid
Badger State.
Certainly neither one even
approached the heaving pur-
pie eXceSSeS of another can

Gabrielle D'Annunzio on the
stump in 1895 seeking a seat

No collection of speeches is
easy reading, but this volume
is of value to anyone who
wishes to look into the Sen
ator'S qualifications for the
Presidency. 1t will be a par
ticularly useful antidote for
those of his critics who tend
to regard him as a young

emerges as a man of wisdom

shallow thought in his ut
