Senator Byrd, however, Is
as popular a whipping boy
as ever for Mr.. Muse. who
passes up no opportunity to
stress the role Of Virginia's
senior Senator and the po-
litical organization that bears
his name in fomenting mas
stve resistance. AS a former
Republican candidate for
Governor in a State run by a
Democratic organization, it
can be argued that Mr.. Muse
has a somewhat partisan view.
But for this reader, who OBJ
served first hand many Of
the things Of which Mr.. Muse
writes, any private axe-grind-
ing is outweighed by a thor
ough Job Of tieing together
the many threads from the
courts, from the Legislature,
from the political campaigns
and from the people to tell

Lanterns and Lances"
might best be read as .
transition Of Mr.. Thurber
from comic to sage. It Is q
"how-to" book Of incalcul-
able value to those, who like
the author, must cope with
life although they are totally
unequal to the struggle. Mr..
Thurber on the subject Of
how to get through the day
is the Dale Carnegie Of the
maladjusted. He Is equally
rewarding on the subject Of
how to get through a night
with writer's who will fight
unless lured to the piano for
a chorus of Dear Old Girl"
AS one who resisted Mr..
Thurber'S long rambling
excursions through the al
phabet, I am prepared to at
test that his alphabetical
cure for insomnia is first
class. Each letter has a
personality for him, and if
you follow him, it will for
you, too.
So Lanterns and Lances"
while less contagious than
his other works, is more in
SidiouS and Q compassionate
guidebook for those, who,
like dear Mr.. Thurber, are
growing older in a world they
never made.

Other people and places
Cheever has discarded are
"scornful descriptions Of
American landscapes" "all
lushes," "all those homosex-
uals who have taken such q
dominating position In re-
cent fiction" (Cheever seems
dangerously near unpeopl-
ing the writer's dominion),
and all parts for Marion
Brando."
The fault Of Cheever's style
is that his vignettes often
lack any movement or de-
velopment; he winds and un-
winds the same old rope so
often the reader becomes q
little bored. 1.-THE Scarlet
Moving Van" is an exception
it is a story with point,
development and nice ironic
contrast. In 1t we see two
lushes (Cheever's last, you
underStand). Each alienates
all who come in contact with
him, but one can handle the
social problem his drunken
ness creates, while the other,
although more aware, is q
helpless victim. Neither
should appear In Mr..
Cheever's next novel, perhaps,
but l hope their places are
taken by other characters no
less interesting.

massive resistance offered an
exhilarating emotional out

did not share his States
adamant attitude against in
tegration. At present, he is
director Of the Southern
Leadership Project of the
Southern Regional Council,
which is an organization
seeking to end racial discrim-
ination.
Mr.. Muse writes more ten
derly Of Gov. Almond in his
book than he did in his news
paper columns several years
ago when the Governor, to-
gether with Senator Harry F.
Byrd, were weekly targets Of
the authors Scorn. Like other
moderates who once feared
Virginia had elected the
fierceSt resister of them all,
Mr.. Muse apparently now
senses that Gov. Almond,
albeit with battling tactics,
eventually brought his State
face to face with the reality

Ultimately the attitudes we
desire for our boys will come
from our attitudes, our life,
and not from what we
say. ="
Privacy: zone man was
holding the floor on coun-
selling, busily speaking Of the
importance of getting boys
to talk, to open up, to lay
bare their minds. I wasn't

to hear one headmaster say
what has since stayed with
me: I rarely do that. I.
think a boys privacy has to
be respected I am sure Of
it. There is a privacy that
is sacred and which should
be entered only by invitation
and then with great respect"
DR.. Martin often returns
to the theme Of parental
love, at its best, being trust
ing and non-poSsessive. HE

Twenty Years
At San Quentin

THE DESPERATE AND THE
DAMNED. BY Bernice
Freeman Davis, with Al
HirShberg. (ThomaS Y.
Crowell Co.: $685.
Covering San Quentin priS-
on seems an unlikely assign
ment for q woman, but Mrs.
Davis did it for nearly 20
years as a reporter for the
San Francisco Chronicle. In
those years, she became the
confidante Of convictS, did
what she could to help them,
riSked her life inside and out
side the walls and won the
obvious admiration Of prison
officials.
Her books cast Of charac-
ters includes the beautiful
Barbara Graham, who went to
the gas chamber still pro-
testing her innocence; the
controversial Caryl Chess
man and assorted kidnap-
erS, sex Slayers and thugs,
ChesSman figures impor-
family in the narrative and
his losing fight for life Is re-
ported with remarkable OBJ
jectivity considering the
amount Of emotion he aroused
throughout the world. She
didn't want him to die but
she didn't believe he should
be a free man either.
She has no illusions about
the men she knew along
Death Row but she firmly
opposes capital punishment
as wasteful not construc-
tive, only conclusive.
With the aid Of Author
Hirshberg, Mrs. Davis de-
scribes life inside the prison
walls, and pictures society's
misfits with dramatic i'm
pact. Her account should
appeal equally to those who
seek new answers in the field
Of criminology and to people
who read crime stories in the
newspapers and speculate
about the criminal mind.

LETTERS FROM A HEAD
MASTERS STUDY. BY
Canon Charles Martin.
(Oxford University Press;
So
These loving essay-letters
on the young animal called
adolescent boy were written
to parents Of boys attending
st. Adams School. But they
have long enjoyed q much
wider audience: teachers and
parents around the United
States have circulated, read
and been guided by them.
Ignoring formulas and
preachments, DR.. Martin de-
velops a simple theme: Love
your boys for what they are,
present an example Of what
they should be, provide tasks
that stretch their minds and
bodies-and leave them free
to succeed and fail on their
own.
In one letter, the headmas-
ter writes:
Recently q book came
across my desk entitled Sci
ence Made Easy I got rid Of
it in a hurry but the title
has stayed on to plague me.
The idea Of things being
made easy represents so
much that Is wrong in mod
ern education and modern
life that I cannot easily for
get it,"
Discipline, DR.. Martin be-
lieves, Is necessary for good
growth. Life is not easy. To
believe otherwise Is to con-
tradict experience and delude
ourselves. We need the
hard, the difficult, the de-
manding If we are to be
strong physically, Just as we
need 1t II We are to be at our
best in any areas Of our life"
DR.. Martin is also healthily
old-fashioned in other ways.
On sex education, he writes:
Parents are sometimes
concerned about their inabil-
ity to sit down with their
sons and discuss the facts
OF hfe.' I can understand
that and to me it Is natural,
even good. We ought not to

The Importance Of combat
artists as chroniclers Of the
Civil War receives long over
due recognition In THE I'M
AGE OF WAR, by w. Tetch-
er Thompson, Jr. (ThomaS
YoSeloff; $7.50.) Without the
perceptive eyes and skilled
pencils Of these men, war
might have continued to ex-
ist In the minds Of homefront
civilians as an ever-glorious
affair free from dirt, drudg-
cry danger and boredom.
Without their efforts, today's
record Of the detail Of battles
and the men who fought
them would show a grievous
void. For their time, they
filled a gap left by the limi-
tationS Of the infant photo
graphic art: Their sketches
captured action.
Mr.. Thompson's study en-
braces the best that the
North fielded land the North
fielded moSt.) Among them
are the fantaStically prolific
Alfred r. Waud, forever on
the move with the armies in
the east; Henri Lowe, in the
Western Theater; meticulous
Edwin Forbes and Theodore
r. Davis; Winslow Homer
and his penetrating close
ups Of the American soldier.
While he's about 1t, the
author does justice to the
swift and faithful labors Of
the engraverS who translated
the field sketches into the
form that reached the public
through the great illustrated
news WeeklieS OF the time
Harper's, Frank Leslie's and
the New York Illustrated
News. Also under scrutiny
are the wartime cartoon art
lists, notably Thomas Mast,

In Renaissance

he reprimanded newspaper
men who, he thought, were
violating his rules Of censor

Mr.. O'Connor touches
lightly on all the giants of
the war: He traces Perish
1ng's quarrels with Billy Nit
chell. including the fact
Mitchell already had a plan
to drop paratroopers back
OF the Germans. He also
discusses Pershing's dislike
Of planes and the fact that
ne was trying hard to get a
large body Of cavalry on the
front as late as 1918 and
tried to get his beloved
Tenth Cavalry into action.
Getting the Boys Home
One gets an insight into the
later Mitchell fight in Wash
ington and Pershing's part In
1t. Macarthur comes in for
some high praise for SPAR
ing men in the Argonne but
the man most quoted is Gen.
William G. Harbord who was
on close terms with Pershing
IN the early stages Of the war
and later returned to the
line and took part in the big
pushes.
Harbord provides details
on Pershing's tardiness. He
seems to have been late for
everything but meals, leaving
celebrities standing at public
ceremonies and arriving late
Tor troop reviews. Veterans of
1918, after the armistice was
signed. will recall, as the re-
viewer does. standing In the
mud and cold for hours, wait

der. But. in the reviewers
mind, 1t seemed worthwhile
for the great Black Jack

asked about his health as
though he really meant it
and then said: Were doing
everything we can to get YOU
boys home"
Mr.. O'Connor catches this
facet Of Pershing: that he
always was interested in the
health and well-being of his
men, even though they might
be dead the next day. His
cavalry training had taught
him that only live soldiers
win wars. EARL HEAP.
