Fraction attends and others were
just spectators Interested in the
case.
Mrs. Fraction was suspended
without pay from her post at the
school on the charge that she was
inefficient as a teacher and had
absented herself from work in
1860, claiming she had to attend a
sick mother, when as matter Of
fact she attended a church con-
vention in California.
Monday morning when the hear
ing opened before referee Charles
c. LuetlIe at the public school ad-
ministrative building, Nathaniel
Johnson the ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
representing the school administra-
ton announced the charges Of inef-
ticiency against Mrs. Fraction
would be dropped to save time and
avoid emotional strain"
Sam Sigal, attorney for the Min

jected to the entire proceedings
after johnson corrected the orig
lnaI charges upon which the dis
missal proceedings were based to
show that Mrs. Fractions absences
occurred during September 1869, in
stead Of In 1860.
This error In the formal charge
was first discovered and reported
by the Minneapolis Spokesman and
st. Paul Recorder papers In its
Feb. "A edition.
SIEal commended that the
charges against Mrs. Fraction
should have been brought during
the I96o-00 school year.
johnson commended the facts
were not known until January, this
year whsn an unsigned note was
placed On schillsr principal Vernon
Johnson's desk, the contents which
reported Mrs. Fraction had made
a trip to California on school time
when she applied for leave to visit
a sick mother, in Kansas City
Kans.
Rumors have been rife since
the beginning Of the case that a
staff member at Schiller, made a
regular campaign out of checking
on Mrs. Fractions whereabouts,
It is also reported that Mrs. Frac-
ton ignored conversation from
other teachers who told her the
staff member was out to get her
discharged.
SIgal also objected 10 the
presence at JOhnsOn's side Of
former city attorney Charles
Sawyer, Of "Open occupancy In
unconstitutional" fame.
Sigal said Sawyer who claimed
to be an impartial observer In
reality had been participating In
this case. Sawyer several times
Injected himself in the case In an
attempt to assist johnson, the
school attorney.
Sawyer has been expected to
become attorney for the school
board soon. Known for years as a
staunch liberal, he lost that repu-
tation when he ruled against a
open occupancy ordinance which
the Minneapolis city council APP
parently did want to come up for
a vote. His ruling made at the re-
quest Of the council was that such
an ordinance would be unconstit-
utional.
Sawyer said he was at the meet
ing as an adviser to the referee.
Mrs. Fraction testified Tuesday
at the hearing that she had no
intention of filing for school pay
for the trip she made to California.
She stated she decided to go on
to California after visiting her sick
mother in Kansas city, Kan, and
discovered a pending operation

KENNEDY. BY Mary Van

bleday; $495D
Last February, after Presi-
dent and Mrs. Kennedy en-
tered the White House, a Sc
ries of articles appeared in
The Ladies Home Journal on
Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy.
The series was read with
great interest since the
stories contained family pho
tographs, poems by young
Jacqueline. and other data
which had not been avail
able to other biographers of
Mrs. Kennedy.
Author of this series was
Washington Writer Mary
Van Rensselaer, Thayer
known to her colleagues as
Molly" Mrs. Thayer, long
time friend of Mrs. Hugh D.
Auchincloss, Jacqueline Ken
nedy's mother, was given ac-
cess to family papers and
photographs and incidents in
the life of young Jacqueline,
and in effect became Mrs.
Kennedy's official biogra-
pher." Now the articles,
brought up to date with the
birth of John, jr. and Mrs.
Kennedy in the White House,
have been enlarged into a
volume entitled simply, Jac-
queline BOuvier Kennedy.
There are also some addi-
tional photos that we're not
in the magazine articles, in
cluding some photos of Mrs.
Kennedy as a baby and as
a little girl. An enchanting
photograph of Jacqueline
Bouvier at three is the first
photograph in the book, and
gives promise of the beauty
that she was to grow into

WRITER'S ON THE LEFT:
Episodes in American Lit
erary Communism. BY
Daniel Aaron. (Harcourt,
Brace & World; $7.50D
This volume, the ninth In
the excellent series Com
munism in American Life"
which, under the general
editorship of Clinton Rossi-
ter, is appearing through the
support of the Fund for the
Republic, describes, as the
author says, "the response
of a selected group cf Amer
ican writer's from 1912 to
the early 1940sl to the idea
of communism. and deals
with particular issues and
events during the first 40
years of this century which
helped to shape their opin-
ions" Few of the left wing
writer's were actually men,
bers Of the Communist Par
ty, Daniel Aaron points out.
On the other hand. it is re-
markable how many of the
best writer's of the period
were to be found, at one
time or another in their
lives, on the left. Not really
remarkable, I suppose, for it
is the very nature Cf a writ
er to revolt. Not all men who
write look at the world
around them and find it bad,
but disgust with the world
and desire to improve it are
perhaps slightly more in evi-
dence in writer's than in men
of other pursuits.
The radical movement that
was born in the Greenwich
Villages Of the country short
ly before the First World
War was not in its infancy
an affair of the capable and
craftsmanlike writer's of the
time, but it soon won their
support. The glamour of
Russian communism during
the '20s was attractive to
men who were disillusioned
by the vulgarities and injus-
tices of capitalism and bit
ter over puritanism. Com
stockery, and anti-intellec-
tualism. It was not so much
that they cared about the
theories and values of COM
munism as that they were
looking for any new political
religion.
The first radical papers
such as The Masses and The
Liberator we're not party Or
gans but were edited and
contributed to by writers who
were not mouthpieces of a
machine but beaux of a girl
whose activities they felt
free to criticise when they

Highlight of 1861 in the
still burgeoning religious
books area was publication
of the long-awaited new
translation of the New Tes-
lament, first part of the
projected NEW ENGLISH
BIBLE.
So important was the ven-
ture considered that the
Cambridge and oxford Uni
versity Presses combined re-
sources to publish the vol
ume. The translation, from
the original Hebrew and
Greek, was initiated by the
General Assembly of the
Church of Scotland in 1946
and, with other Christian
churches of the British Isles,
started in 1948. Work on the
Old Testament and the
Apocrypha is still going on.
An important offshoot of
this publication was a num-
ber of books on the history
of English translations of
the Bible. Probably the most
detailed is THE ENGLISH
BIBLE, A HISTORY OF
TRANSACTIONS, by F. F.

., (St. Martins Press: $3.50
until December 81; there
after, $40.)
- The standard edition of
the letters Of Mozart is not
. by a German nor in German.
1t was edited and translated
in 1888 by Emily Anderson,
and is in my opinion one of
the very few essential books
in the category of music and
musicians. 1t has been known
for many years that Miss
Anderson was working on a
companion project, the let
terS of Beethoven, and the
excellence of the result, just
published in three volumes,
surprises nobody, and will
delight all lovers of the music
Of Beethoven for years to
come.
Even if he had not been
a great artist but a man
known only through his cor
respondence, Mozart would
nevertheless still have left us
in his letters interesting pic
lures of his contemporaries
and his times. Beethoven's
letters, on the contrary, have
little intrinsic value, and
would hardly be worth read
ing if they were anonymous.
That they are eminently
worth reading is the result of
what we otherwise know
about their writer-not only
his music, but his curious,
tortured, and not in every
respect admirable character.
Many people are able to
find the man Beethoven mir
rored in his music; to me,

Aaron that there was little

and that the visits to Russia

tempts to get support, to be
given the word.
The evils of American
communism arose not from
the revolt of the rebels
against materiaIism. the
Sacco- -Vanzetti case, the de-
preston, and the A. Mitchell
Palmer deportation of "bol-
sheviks." but from the grad
ual submission of the radicals
to the demands of Moscow.
AS in internal American poll
tics there is the quasi re-
spectacle belief that the
strength of the party is
more important than any
single issue. so it was with
many Of the left wingers.
Not every writer devoted to
the Communist cause shut
his eyes to the bloody actual
tiles of Russia, but most of
them did. becoming the prey
of ideologieS no less lettering

Mr.. Aaron gives perceptive
brief accounts of the back
ground of many of the most

ers, the stories of the rise
and fall of the leading papers
and magazines, and tells
finally of the disenchant-
ment and subsistence of the
American literary Marxist.
His book is well organized
and gracefully written. It is
fortunate that it is so read

part of which is discernable

not inevitable-"pure" music

quently a mans music will
betray his personality as ac-

But if Beethoven's letters,
