The two men never met.
Possibly the difference in
their ages would have pre-
cluded a close liaison, but
If friendship is based on
emotional and intellectual
consanguinity the composer
and the memoiriSt would have
been inSeparable. In reading
the present volume of excerpts
from Chateaubriand's most
enduring work one is remind
ed on every page of Berlioz'
masterpiece of autobiography.
Both books are brilliant in
style, both are infused with
the world-wearineSs Of Mac
beth's Tomorrow and to-
morrow and tomorrow" and
both exhibit the colorfu1 con-
tradiction of lives of fantastic
incident lived by men dis
satisfied with those lives as
artists are sometimes dis
satisfied with their greatest
achievements. 1t would be
easy to extend the similari-
ties of Berlioz and Chateau
BRAND, but to do so would
be out of proportion in a
short notice.

Since Robert Baldick's
translation of the French is
exceedingly good, one wonders
why the name of the work
is made so commonplace.
Chateaubriand's book is
called Memories d'Outre-
Tombe" - memoirs from
beyond the tomb"-and the
title. omitted in the transla-
tion, is precisely descriptive.
Chateaubriand was unwilling
to publish the story of his
life while he was yet alive.
Honour and gentlemanlineSS
would too often conflict with
veracity; yet, while he could
postpone fame until after
death, to postpone death it
self, or at least to stave off
Indulgence, required money.
A stock company was formed,
the assets of which were
Chateaubriand's unwritten
book, and which paid the
writer a large advance and
gave him an annual stipend.
Over the years control of the
company fell into un-
sympathetic hands, and it was
only his death that saved
Chateaubriand from the un-
happiness of seeing a part
of his book appear in an un-
authorized form in a news
paper.

MAhnOn Of WAR: Inc
Washington Star Reports
the Civil War. Compiled
and edited by John w.
Stepp and I. William Hill.
CPrentice-Hall; $l2.50D
The war in the title is the
American Civil War: the mir
ror in which the image of
the war is reflected is The
Washington Evening Star Of
the war years. The intent of
the editors-John w. Stepp
and I. William Hill. of the
staff Of The Starts to take
you back to the years 1861
1865 to enable you to
live the suspense of the Civil
War by having it unfold ex-
actly as it did for newspa-
per readers in the Nations
Capital a hundred years ago"
That. of course, no one can
do now because the reader
of today knows how it all
came out in the end, but this
book comes as near to restor-
ing the sense Of suspense as
can any book of the present
day. The stories are repro
duced as they appeared in
The Star day by day as
the big stories broke. They
were not always accurate
for. as the editors observe,
newspapers never ran out
of conflicting reports from
the battlefield" but the in
accuracies are corrected by
unobtruSive editorial COM
ments which, printed in ital-
les. are never confused with
the original stories.
Later Illustrations
In addition, each of the
81 chapters is accompanied
by a brief transitional back
ground which serves to keep
the development of the war
story in focus, and the work
is further enriched by an
excellent selection of con-
temporary photographs and
drawings. The illustrations
are something Of an anach-
ronism since they did not
appear in the original Star
issues but they add greatly
to the vivid impact of the
volume.
To this touch of the mod
ern the book adds another in
its use of modern-style titles
given to the 81 groups of
Star stories in which the
course of the war is pre-
sented. The first of these
chapters deals with the elec-
ton of Lincoln: the last tells
the story of the. surrender
of the Confederate cruiser
Shenandoah, more than six
months after Appomattox. In
between there are chapters
which deal amply not only
with major military events
but also with political and
social developments of the
war years. In fact, nearly
one-fourth of the chapters
deal with such matters of
Importance in the story of
the war but not strictly re-
lated to specific military ac-
tions and reactions.
The figure of Abraham Lin
coin looms large, with chap
tiers dealing with his election,
his first inaugural. his call
upon Congress for ratifica-
tion Of his acts in the months
between the firing on Sumter
and the convening of Con-
gress in July. his Emanci-
patton Proclamation, his
Gettysburg Address, his re-
election, his second inaugu-
raj, and his assassination.
Other chapters dealing with
matters other than battles
and campaigns include the
secession of South Carolina,
the shift of United States
forces from Fort Moultrie to
Fort Sumter, the Baltimore
riots, the resignation of Of
ficers to go with the Con-
federacy, the Trent affair,
and the riots in New York
protesting the draft law.
The major military events
of the war are treated in
chronological sequence as
their stories were unrolled
in the day-by-day reports of
The Star, and in addition sew

The rise, which amounts to

Although they have much

had before graduating into
the over-65 class, they have
much more than the previous

Eisenhower Deplores y
Rise Of 'Super-Potriots'

NEW YORK, Nov. "a (AP).-
Former President Eisenhower
deplores what he calls super
patriots" and the recent rise OF
extremists" in this country.
He also wants armed forces
officers to shun partisan poll
tics.
In the second of a series of
filmed televiSion interviews pre-
sented last night over the CHS

also said:
/. He learned at the first
Geneva summit conference that
Nikita Khrushchev, and not
then Soviet Premier Nikolai
Bulganin, was the boss of the
Russian delegation.
2. Russia would never start
a nuclear war because of Amer
ica's destructive power.
3. Sooner or later the Russian
people will get the word that
the free world is against agrees
sion.
4. The foregoing will create
pressure inside Russia for dis
armament.
S. The erection of a wall be-
tween East and West Berlin is
a sign of Soviet weakness.
6. The removal of the body of
former Premier Stain from the
tomb in MoScow'S Red Square
shows Premier Khrushchev is
uneasy about something.

In discussing extremists, the
former President said:

need patriotism, honestly prac-
ticed by all of US. and we don't

This is the tragic story of

In his comment on Mr.. Ken

"In so doing, the President

Mr.. Bruce said. HE refers to

| Shortly after that, Gen. Eli

But he added:

He added that the Russian
people will understand that W.
do not want to be aggressive
. There will be a pressure
there for more disarmament
for some disarmament. Little
success will breed more success
and this will be finally the way
disarmament will come about.
AS for the wall dividing Ber-
lin, Gen. Eisenhower declared
Il think the erection of that
wall is a confession of weak
ness because, let us re-
member that Soviet wall
is not built to keep us out. it's
to keep their people in.
They are losing face, as
they say in the Far East. be-
cause their system, the Com

About the removal of Stains

There must be some uneasi-
