PROMISE AT DAWN: A

PROMISE AT DAWN: A
Memoir by Roman Gary.
CHarper & Bros; 5000
Until now everything I
have known about the city
of Wilma has been told me
by two Of its illustrious sons,
Misha and Sacha Schneider,
the brothers who are one
half Of the Budapest Quartet.
Two facts they love to ex-
patiate on-that Wilma Is a
matriarchy where every
mothers burning desire and
lifelong effort is the world
renown Of her son, and that
it Is the source of a dis
proportionately large number
Of the greatest violinists and
cellistS, of whom HeifetZ is
the most famous. A few good
pianists came from Wilma, ad-
NIT the Schneiders, but a be-
ginner's piano is more ex-
pensive than a beginners
violin, so the great majority
of Vilna's mothers concen-
trated on stringed instru-
ments.
So when I read the first
few pages Of Roman Gary's
memoirs and discover that,
growing up in Wilma, his
mother was inordinately am
bilious for him and that,
among other destinies, she
had chosen for him the ca
reer Of the greatest Nolinist
Evening star., 1961-10-22

in the world and had him
instructed accordingly, I am
suddenly impressed with the
high truth of the narrative.
The story of Gary's life is
as frankly tied to his mother
as Virgilia Peterson's is to
hers, but Gary's maternal in
fluences and memories are
all benevolent. 1 suppose 1t
cannot be denied that Gary
has been involved in momism
of Gargamellian proportions,
but it is a winning, not a
mawkish, relationship. In
their slow trek from Russia
across Europe to Paris, the
center Of her universe, Gary's
mother taught her son the
ways of the world but shielded
him from their effects. It
was from his mother that
Gary learned how to save
himself from the gods Of stu
pidity, absolute truth, total
Righteousness, mediocrity, ac-
ceptance and servility.
But mother was not a trag-
ic figure, nor an unhappy
one, nor a humorless one.
Throughout a picturesque life
in which many Of his mothers
ambitions have been realized,
Gary has looked back on her
as a noble figure Of high
comedy. He has enshrined
her as the motivating force
of a hilarious book.

POINT on DEPARTURE. AZ

POINT OF DEPARTURE. An
. Adventure in AutogiUg-
raphy. BY Ralph Ingersoll.
(Harcourt, Brace & World;
$4.50O
Looking back over a life
in journalism, Ralph Inger-
soil has come upon another
story-hiS own. He begins
to tell it in Point Of Depar-
ture," the first volume Of
what may turn out to be a
comparative shelf of Inger-
soil.
This clearly is intimated in
the first installment which
propels Reporter -Editor-Pub-
Usher Author Ingersoll to
1880, a mite less than half
the distance he has travelled
since his birth in 1900. Point
Of Departure" a label-like
title he might have rejected
on one Of his own editorial
pages, is quite a lot Of Inger-
soil in spite Of its early cut
off point.
It pictures him as a high
born-McAllister blood added
to the Observation-Disclosures
Of lower-level life who could
express his findings only in
some form Of Journalism. His
association with this began
with, Of all journals, The
New Yorker. but when 1t was
young and naive. That they,
the magazine and Ingersoll,
were not made for each other
clearly is intimated in the
latter's next move, to For
tune magazine and thence
to Time.
But before these jobs and
the later newspapers, PM
and the Chicago Sun, there
was Ralph Ingersolt in the
making. Showing only the
faintest petulance that this
may have gone nationally un-
noticed, Point Of Departure"
makes a spirited effort to fill
the gap. It traces its hero
through revolt, romance, and
a turbulent education at Yale.
1t could be that readers will
regard this part Of the book
as surely more interesting in
the writing than anything
else but this may well be an
other flaw inherent m a
lesser birth and inferior edu-
cation.
There may even be those
ingrates who, receiving say
a gift copy of Point Of De-
parture," find it most inter-
esting when Mr.. Ingersoll is
not writing about himself.
AS the book makes clear,
he has encountered some
piquant personalities, most
notably around the New
Yorker. AS autobiographer,
he is stimulated by such
blessedly gifted, If sometimes
odd, characters as Harold
Ross, E. B. (Andy) White,
Katherine Sergeant White,
Rea Irwin, James Thurber,
and several others. Always
writeable. these latter.

BRUCE CATIONS FINEST
First Volume of
Civil War History

Fury: Mr.. Cation here is at
his eloquent best. His ma
terial further, is beautifully
assembled. The author, alone
responsible for the enticing
prose, warmly credits E. B.
Long, his Director Of Re
search" for the thoroughness
and organization. Mr.. Long
and his research staff GER
tainly earned the praise.
Mr.. Cations style-and it is
style that gives his better
books their strongest appeal
does sometimes get excess
sively mystical. For example,
ION the question Of holding
Fort SUMTER: This action
able issue was coming nearer,
like eerie footsteps coming
down the empty corridor of a
haunted house" On Jeff
Davis: There was fire in this
man, a thin flame burning
on the edge Of darkness" On
the last-ditch 1851 peace con-
ference in Washington: THE
delegates were men calling
across a wide gulf through
an unquiet dusk"
Prelude to War
Aside from such metaphor
cal flights Mr.. Cations pres
entation has the homely pal
atability Of honey on corn
pone. He has not lost his
knack for selecting the telling
quote. He is moved by the
tragic or pitiful as evidenced
by minor and major figures Of
the time. He reacts with de-
light to the humorous or
absurd. Whatever the nature
Of the remark or episode, he
fits each carefully into place
to give fullest meaning and
balance to his narrative.
AS its title implies, THE
Coming Fury" concerns the
prewar period. The particu-
lar span starts with the
Charleston convention of
1860 when the Democratic
Party blew apart and a sec
tional shooting war became
inevitable. 1t ends with first
Bull Run stunning both the
South and North into the
realization that the sections
would war bitterly and long.

In that fine, graceful hand
so much admired a century
ago. a justice of the peace
in Georgia carefully wrote
out an inventory Of the per
ishable property" of a land
owner, deceased.
Bill, a man, $1,000; Sambo,
a man, $500; Sam, a man,

stock cattle, hogs and sheep
were listed.
The hogs were valued at
SIS each, proving, if any
comment is needed, that the
Negro slave at least had the
distinction Of bringing a far
higher price.
AS this centennial year of
the beginning Of the Civil
War draws to a close, the
public has been exposed to
volume upon volume of grand
strategy and heroic battles.
In our nostalgia dreams of
a supposedly romantic past.
some of us even don the old
uniforms-unsoiled, of course
and play at being dashing
cavaliers and Staunch pa
triots.
The Bitter Truth
There is no romance in
Dwight Lowell Dumond's
book. Here are no noble fig
ureS encased in bronze and
wrapped in legend. His story
is stark and often brutal. It
Is also honest.
This may come as a shock
to some particularly to
those Southerners who even
today yearn for that tabled
image of the gentle" era Of
gracious manners and chiv-
airy, of hoop skirts and vio-
Inns and solicitous, kindly
and wise mammys and Uncle
BenS.
Mr.. Dumond is not writing
only to burst the bubbles of
legend. What he has to say
Evening star., 1961-10-22
Stamping Out Slavery
In q Free America

is more important than that.
AS professor of history at the
University Of Michigan, he
has devoted 80 years to this
study Of the anti-slavery
movement in America.
His story begins with the
first protests against slavery
in the colonies nearly 800
years ago. 1t ends with aboli-
ton. The result is a MASTER
full achievement-that rare
blending Of research and good
writing.
But, as he says, his story
does not really close with
emancipation.
I'VE abolished slavery. but
we left the freed Negroes to
their own resources after a
time. The white population of
many sections, clinging te-
naciously to the belief in ra-
cial inequality, soon reduced
them to a second-class citi-
zenship. which is and always
has been a modified form Of
slavery from Colonial times to
the present"
Slavery, Mr.. Dumond
writes, contaminated the
body polite. . 1t nominated
Presidents. 1t confirmed ap-
pointments to the courts and
to diplomatic posts. 1t defied
public policy. 1t controlled
the Nation"
Until Today
Unfortunately, the residue
of that situation remains
with us today.
His book is handsomely
printed and the more than
300 engravingS complement
the text. More impressive is
the quiet way in which Mr..
Dumond demolishes the
myths and adds to our un-
derstanding Of a heritage
which should make Ameri-
cans blush in shame.
That shame was expressed
more than a century ago by
an abolitionist, who said:
Though great cruelties
have always been inflicted
by men upon brutes, yet in
comparably the most horrid
ever perpetrated have been
those of men upon their own
species"

THE COMING FURY. By

THE COMING FURY. BY
Bruce Cation. Doubleday;
$7.50.)
Bruce Cation, whose charm
as a Civil War historian long
since turned into publishing
magic, has waved his wand
again. No matter how superb
the earlier trilogy on the
Army of the Potomac or how
luxurious the more recent
picture history of the war,
these were mere mileStones
on the Cation march toward
the big production.
This, of course, is his Gen.
tennial History Of the Civil
War, the present volume be-
ing the first Of a total of
three. One can only say that
if the remaining parts Of the
Centennial History match the
quality of THE Coming
Fury" the whole will have
proved to be an eminent sue
cess - artistically, academi-
cally, financially.
The Last Word
Having so stated, the
plaintive question may now
be raised: Will another his
tory Of The War, by anyone,
be necessary, ever again?
Library shelves already
creak under the weight of
histories Of the conflict, many
Of them written by up-to-
date scholars Of solid repute,
some of whom having a IA
cility for expression that ap-
proaches Mr.. Cations own.
Even before Mr.. Cation got
started on his latest project,
Allan Nevins-America's SEN
ior authority on the era and a
skilled writer also-was well
along with his own compre-
hensive account Of the war
and its origins. The Civil
War as an entity. in short,
has been recounted to the
point Of no return. The same
numerous old sources and the
same few newer sources have
been examined exhaustively,
and baSically all the same
conclusions reached. AS
Lincoln once said in connec-
ton with something else:

than a pundit, a high official,
a hostess or a Government
press officer is likely to give
himself over to helpless,
cleansing laughter at the ex-

muscular and occasionally
elegant. Once in a while he
descends to mere wisecrack,

a direct hit on yet another

chapter is one which pur-
ports to be an hourly report

bate on the labor bill to read

There is also a section on the
Importance of being earnest

instructions on how to get

esoteric tastes there is the
