should know more about the

Their deIvings into the

naturally acquainted them
with the question of medical
care for the disabled, and in

the work. Mrs. Somers said,

said that she has to do more

himself if one mans suffer-

THE EARL OF LOUISIANA,

THE EARL OF LOUISIANA,
a story of Governor Earl
Long. BY A. j. Liebling.
(Simon and Schuster;
$3.95O
I suppose most politicians
are too embarrassed to read
their own campaign biogra-
phies, and there are few
other biographies that are
not posthumous. 1t is a
sad thing that Earl Long,
former Governor of Louisi-
ana and United States
Congressman-elect from Lou
isiana, died last Septem-
ber S, before he could see
himself through the eyes
of A. ]. Liebling. Uncle Earl,
as Mr.. Liebling draws him in
THE Earl of louisiana" was
q great and lovable man, the
model of a democratic poll
tician, liking and under
standing all kinds of people,
clever, adroit, and gifted with
a highly developed sense Of
timing. For Mr.. Liebling, who
in 1859 and 1860 was politi-
cal observer in both Louisi-
ana and England, the
smaller time politics of the
Delta were more engaging
than the more sanctimorliouS
proceedings on the Thames.
Both were games of coney-
catching, but Long and his
coalition of enemies were
more human and genuine.
Mr.. Liebling's admiration
for Long has its foundation in
the Governors effective if
not aways outspoken cham

social justice. If he was a
headline segregationist, he
was always ready to help the
colored man quietly under the
table. Like Huey before him,

stand. In the deep South he

nent of the Negro, and said

Suspense
In Slow Druq
THE HEARTLESS LIGHT, ,


novel by Gerald Green.
(Charles Scribner's Sons;
$4.95O
This novel is concerned
with a kidnapping. 1t tries to
overlay a suspense story with
pictures of the cupidity of
press and television, and of
the inefficiency of the police.
Mr.. Green is not content
merely to write his tale, but
tries to create a whole cast
of living characters made
real, not as they are seen by
the reader but as they are
imagined by the author. The
trouble is that the people
never come alive in a style
that is turgid and oppressive
to the extreme.
The incidents of typing
out the serial numbers of
the ransom bills, of the in
credibly inept performance
of the police in asking the
press to withhold its story,
