British in U. n. Attack
Soviet Role on Tunisio

UNITED NATIONS, N. Y.
Aug. % (AP).-Britain today
accused the Soviet Union of de-
liberately trying to block q solu-
ton of the French-Tunisiar
dispute by inflaming passions
in the U. N. debate.
The charge was made before
a special session Of the U. N
General Assembly by British
Delegate Colin T. Grove, who
declared the main goal of the
discussions here should be tc
create a climate favorable tc
direct negotiations between
France and TuniSia.
Mr.. Grove asserted that the
Soviet Union not only had not
contributed to a solution of the
problem, but Soviet attacks or
the Western powers must be
regarded as an attempt to
worsen the atmosphere in which
this debate takes place"
ut is only too clear" the
British delegate said, that
some members of the United
Nations do not sincerely wish
to see a successful negotiation
between the two parties. The
speech Of the Soviet delegate
(Monday) constitutes all too
vividly an Illustration Of my
point"
Urges Appointment
Mr.. Grove urged that France
and TuniSia appoint repre-
SentativeS as soon as possible
to work out a solution to their
differences. He said it was
his understanding that France
does not contest the principle
of eventual withdrawal of its
troops from the naval base at
Bizerte.
The British delegate, how
ever, was critical of a 32-na-
ton resolution calling for ne
gotiations specifically on the
question Of French evacuation
Of the TuniSian base. He said
the proposal included phrases
which ARE not in our opinion
likely to contribute to q Solu-
ton" He did not state Spe-
officially how he would vote
on the resolution.
British and African nations
still allied with France were
working behind the scenes to
water down the resolution sub
mitted by 81 Asian-African ma
tions and Yugoslavia. The OBJ
ject was to win support Of the
United States and other friends
of France, by removing implied
censure Of French actions in
Tunisia. But the resolutions
sponsors said they didn't need
that support.
T'unisia and her supporters
were confident they could mus
ter we'll over the tWo-thirds
vote required to adopt the
resolution, which as it stands
calls on France to withdraw
her troops from territory seized
during the July fighting around
the Bizerte naval base and to
join Tunisia Immediately in
negotiations for a complete
withdrawal Of French troops
from Tunisian soil.
MOderating Sought
Sponsors of the resolution re-
jected a suggestion from Brit
ain that they eliminate the call
for withdrawal of French forces
from Tunisia and the pinpoint-
ing Of Frances role in the dis
pute. The British repeatedly
were urging Argentina and New

Justice Douglas Views
Hord-Won Freedoms

often we tend to take for
granted and which, FORUM
ately, are secured for us
against Government en-
croachment by the body of
the Constitution, the first 10
amendments which comprise
the Bill of Rights, and several
Of the subsequent amend
ments.
Justice Douglas, although
he does not state it quite so
badly. thinks of the Su-
preme Court as the guardian
Of our freedoms as opposed
to the Executive branch, the
Congress. the States and
their subdivisions. If he is
right in this-and. generally,
he is-it is not wholly reas-
Suring to note his references
to the judicial mood"-a
mood which has changed be-
fore and which can change
again. He also makes the
significant point, however.
that the courts, including
the Supreme Court, can give
only "a minimum protection
to our liberties" These will
be truly secure only when
enough Americans take the
trouble to acquire an intel
ligent understanding Of the
Bill Of Rights. and then re-
solve to govern . themselves
accordingly in their daily
lives. JOHN H. CLINE.

cases where heresy cannot be

end Of the entry on Dadaism,
a poem Of Hugo Ball is cited:

proceeds" We can turn to
ambiguity and find out just
what the seven types are, or
to the curtal sonnet, or to
Gongorism. or to meiosis.
I offer the authors in quite
friendly spirit a few examples
which may be improvements
on theirs: the most vivid
oxymoron is the "blind

always partial to "She as

pointed out that the key word

almost everything, but they
left out my favorite type of

Harvey Swados writes
short stories about people
who in the 30s used to be
called "the proletariat." but
who today have no special
label. Their problems, that
is, are mostly financial. Take,
for instance, the young
couple with a small haby
who can never go out. They
finally hire a baby-sitter,
who dies while looking after
their child. The young
mother turns on her husband
and calls him a murderer.
Others of his characters
have perhaps less dramatic
problems, but their circum-
stances are still more inter-
esting than they are. Mr..
Swados is an expert writer,
but it requires more than
that to make dreary people

ERARY TERMS, by Karl
Beckson and Arthur CAM.
(The MONDAY Press, Farrar,
Straus and Cudahy, $4.95;
paperback, $3.50
II, as I am inclined to be-
lieve, the propensity to pun,
and the ability to pun we'll,
are the most nearly universal
characteristics of the great
est writer's, knowledge Of an
interest in literary terms is
also q mark Of the crafts
man writer. For the pun is
proof that its creator is con-
scious of his words, Just as
a good builder of a house is
conscious Of the bricks he
lays, as well as Of the blue
print Of the wall he hopes
to see rise. The writer who
is aware that his meaning
is dependent upon figures Of
speech, in the broadest sense
Of the term, has taken the
precaution to save his reader
from the horror Of automatic
writing.
Those who hold with me
in this extravagant convic-
ton, as well as the multi
tudes who, / fear, do not, will
find "A Readers Guide to :

entertaining book, or. to be
absolutely precise, at least an

which in a miraculous stroke
is capable Of communicating
what Baudelaire called "l'an-
alogie universelle." the viable
relationship of the logically
unrelated.
The first chapters per-
suasively analyze poetry-as
remote as the Chinese-by
reducing poetic art to its es-
sence: sounds. signs, images
and metaphors. These are

a cage Of FORM" in the COM
pelling words Of Lu Chi, a
4th century Chinese poet
general. Through the sub
tletles Of this alchemy the
poem does not reveal, it be-
comes the experience.
BY Sense and Sensitivity
After discussing the means
to meaning" Mr.. MacLeish
devotes chapters to Emily
Dickinson. w. B. Yeats, Ar
thur Rimbaud and John
Keats.
The humane and urbane
product of this investigation
also is provocative. The ap-
proach, the confiding tone
and the inclusion Of entire
poems are reminders that
these chapters were delivered
as Public Lectures Q959).
But the engaged reader will
be sufficiently informed by
this tender textbook on the
nature Of the poetic expert
ence. Not curdled pedagogy,
but warm discourse,
DistillS amazing sense
From ordinary Meanings.
Ultimately Mr.. MacLeish
wins our assent as he leads
us through the ways he won
his knowledge, by sense and
sensitivity. AS of an earlier

BERNARD Gels Associates;
$4.950
Has Suburbia become
synonymous with Disturbia?
Are the suburbs putting too
many people on pins and
needles. hurting their health.
making them lonesome, even
driving them mad?
Some people think so.
Among them are a psychia-
trist and his social-psycholo-
gist wife who have just writ
ten a book setting forth the
results Of a question-rai
study made over a five-year
period. It is a record, they
say. Of "suburbanites under
stress"
DIR. Gordon starts out by
relating the onset of emo
tional problems among thou
sands Of residents of Bergen
County, N. j., to the influ-
ence Of the county's char
acter as a typical section of
American Suburbia."
From this, he draws a pic
ture Of q mythical commu-
nifty and some Of its unfor-
tunate denizenS. Though
peaceful and serene on the
surface, this bucolic place
seethes and crackles with
frayed nerves, and worse.
The Snake Pit
The typical suburb. the
doctor suggests, resembles
nothing so much as The
Snake Pit. A few excerpts
from the book give you the
idea:
THE residents Of the town
like to think Of 1t as a peace
full country community. Even
to the casual observer, how
ever, 1t is different. :"
In one of the split-level
houses. a young mother is
crying. She is crouching in
a dark closet. Voices in the
walls are telling her she Is
worthless. =.
Another young mother
sits in her house alone. Her
husband is not there, nor
will he ever be again. He
has told her very bluntly
that he does not want to live
with her anymore. She is
trying to think how and
where her marriage went
wrong :"

war he Strengthened out a
love affair for the command
er's bibulous actress wife,

become readjusted. Then he
married the actress.
THE Impresario" is a
novel describing the heavy
handed efforts of Pleasance
to win the affection of his
wife's 12-year-old son, Ben
Ennismore. Pleasance was
the strong man who made
the decisions in a crisis, DOM
mated the hesitant and re-
shuffled the lives of his as
sociates. But Intentionally or
not. he created conflict.
In order to help Ben aca-
demically, Pleasance engaged
as a tutor Donald Beamish.
another former soldier. But
Ben was still attached to
his mother, and even kept
alive affection for Charlie
Ennismore, his natural father.
After Josephine, the wife,
eloped with Max Hudson. a
seedy actor. the stepfather
tried harder than ever to
draw the boy closer to him.
The number Of trips to the
theater. to cricket matches
and rugby games steadily in
creased.
But Pleasance next sent
Ben to Dashleigh. an old and

was dominated by Adrian
Challender, not yet 16, but a
sharp student of human
weakness. The gulf between
young Ben and his stepfather
became impossible.
Pleasance is the pivotal
character Of the book, strong,
vain and shortsighted. Be-
cause most Of the other
adults have been identified
with the stage they impart a
certain theatrical quality to
the barbed amity in which
they mingle. But largely they
are only bit players who are
overshadowed by the star.
