Newton Diehl Baker was a

The fur traders were first,
the tree spoilers much later.
The fur seekers knitted their
canoes through the rapid
waters Of the Northwest 300
years ago. They were a breed
of men accustomed to the

This is the story Of the
old trade routes from the st.

On the BoWeY
Refuge for the

THE BOWERY MAN. BY

THE BOWERY MAN. BY
Elmer Bendiner. (NelSon;
$3.50)
While skid rows exist in
all great cities, the most ia
nous of these undoubtedly
is New York's Bowery - a
symbol Of the bum and the
down-and-outer for perhaps
a century. Chicago's West
Madison probably contains
as many or more of those
who have, taken hopeleSsneSS
for a lasting companion, but
somehow the Bowery, with
its varied and turbulent his
tory, is more colorful than
any such refuge for the
homeless.
Mr.. Bendiner, a journalist
and editor of extensive ex-
perience, has gone thorough
ly into "the Bowery man"
What makes him? Why did
he give up all ambition and
effort to live a precariouS
day-to-day life?
All Different
There is, Mr.. Bendiner
concludes, no such person as
the typical Bowery resident.
Each is a separate problem,
an individual case. Some, Of
course, are alcoholics, and
many social workers, seeing
Bowery men hanging about
saloons trying to cadge
drinks, write off the whole
street under the heading of
alcohol.
But this Is oversimplifying,
the author feels. In his first
hand and statistical study Of
Bowery people, he found
that drink was not the pri-
mary cause of the social dis
ease afflicting many Of these
men. The cause often goes
deeper into personality dis
orders and the effect Of
fateful blows from which
their psychoS were too frail
to recover.
Place of Refuge
psychologists agree" Mr..
Bendiner says, that the Bow
cry man needs a place where
an effortless going to hell Is
the accepted way Of life.
They need a place where no
one requires anything Of
them, where no one ever
says, You can do better
They need the sweet delights
Of hopelessness, and anyone
who seeks to energize them
with hope betrays them, for
he calls their spirit into ac-
ton; calls them again to try,
again to lose; calls them
again to compare themselves
with other men, to assert
their worth - when all they
want is for the world to
leave them alone, worthless
and careless, beyond redemp-
tion or competition"
This explains why the re-
ligious and social missions
on the Bowery and there
are a number Of highly Or
ganized ones - report the
reclamation Of comparatively
few. Most Of these men don't
want to be reclaimed -
they've gone a step beyond
the desire.
Mr.. Bendiner's history and
summary Of the Bowery and
its people in the course Of a
century and a half Is in
structive and absorbing.

Long Quest to Track Down
Life Story of the Psyche

with an introduction by Sir
Herbert Read. (Atheneum

There's no art to find the

There are those today who
may not agree with him, but
fewer, perhaps, who think
that knowledge of the growth
of the human psyche, the
inner man, personality, is
subject to scientific pursuit.
The intriguing basis OF H.
Westman's THE Springs Of
Creativity" is a question and
an answer Of the author, a
psychologist and a psyche
therapist:
do we know the
course and conditions Of
growth and health Of the
psyche? In other words, is
there a reliable natural his

through the inner world, a
sound pattern Of growth
from the state Of genesis,
when there was nothing but
something nebulouS, to the
state of Wilderness and the
experience Of the psyche as
a totality in and Of itself? I
believe there is and that it
is to be found in the Bible
from Genesis, when God
said Let there be light to
Golgotha and the Resurrec-
ton"

book is devoted to a dis

OF THE SEA. BY Willard
Bascom. doubleday; $4.95.,
Dean Athelstan Spilhaus
Of the University of Min
neSota's chronological center
once rocked a space-happy
audience back on its heels
by remarking that the oceans
bottom is at least as inter-
esting as the moons backside.
This is the theme of Mr..
Bascom's book, which is the
story of the "Mohole" by
one of the men who set the
project in motion.
The Mohole, as you almost
certainly know, is a drill
shaft which within a year
or two will be bored through
the crust of the earth and
into the dense, hard-rock
mantle. 1t gets its name from
the fact that it will be drilled
through the "Mohorovicic
discontinuity," or "Moho,"
which separates crust and
mantle.
It is a hole in the bottom
Of the sea" (the name comes
from an American children'S
folk Song) because scientists
have long known that the
Moho is closest to the surface
in places where the ocean
water is deepest. This is be-
cause of a phenomenon called
"isostasy," which makes con-
tinents behave something like
icebergS.
In well organized and
entertainingly written chap
ters, Mr.. Bascom gives the
reader the necessary geologi-
cal background, the history
of the Mohole project, and
the nuts-and-bolts story of
how one goes about drilling a
hole through $4,000 feet of
mud and rock beneath $4,000
feet of ocean water.
Mr.. Bascom, a resident Of
nearby Montgomery County,
is the scientific director Of
the Mohole project, which is
sponsored by the National
Academy of Sciences Amer
ican Miscellaneous Society"
and bankrelled by the Ma
tional Science Foundation.
The author was aboard the
experimental drilling ship
"Cuss I" this spring when new
underwater drilling records
were set. These are only the
beginning, Mr.. Bascom says.

Of psychotherapy comes from
the situation created by the
relationship Of the observer
and his subject.
The central section Of the
book is an extended COM
mentary on biblical episodes
which show an almost terri
flying parallelism with the
growth of the pSyche-the
story of the golden calf. of
the creation of the world, Of
Cain and Abel, Job, Jacob
and Esau and. above all, the
Akedah, the account Of
Abraham and Isaac. I am
only a layman reader, and
my reactions to Westman's
theory, which I find extraor-
dinarily interesting, carry
little weight. The truth Of
the biblical stories seems to
me not different IN kind
from that Of other myth and
fiction, but only perhaps
more elemental. Cannot the
human soul be found mirrored
no less universally elsewhere
in Faust" or Hamlet" for
example? That the biblical
stories are in fact the biog-
raphy Of a waxing and waning
psyche I cannot understand.
The third section Of the
book is a series Of 81 pictures
drawn and painted by Joan,
an extreme schizophrenic,
during two years Of therapy,
together with Westman's
running comments on the
course of the cure. These
pictures, which remind me Of
Blake and Sir Herbert Read
of Ell Greco and PicasSo, are
so arreSting that few can
gainsay Sir Herbert's remark
in his introduction. "The
quality Of the drawings pro-
duced by Joan in the course
Of treatment Is such that a
hasty judgment might con-
clude that a measure Of
psychosis is good for the
artist" However, while the
course Of the disease is OBJ
servable in the development
Of the pictures, the life
history Of the psyche. as
recounted in the Bible, is
perhaps seen only by Mr..
Westman and others trained
by experience in his profess
sion.

ANTIBES.-Yehudi Menu
hin, the violinist, performed
in the open-air concert area
Inside Monaco's palace. Rain
arted during his perform
ance. In the summertime,
performing artists have to be
weather prophets as well.
Menuhin measured the drops
while he played and decided
that he could complete the,
concerto before the heavy
rain come.
Mrs. Menuhin prepared to
step forward with an UNI
brella to shield his Stradi-
varius. But then I noticed
that the women in the au-
dience didn't move" she said.
"And their hairdos are as
precious to them as Yehudi's
Strad is to him" She didn't
use the umbrella. The rain
soon stopped.
The Menuhins, whose home
is in Switzerland, travel a
great deal during the con-
cert season. They dislike hav-
ing to fill out so many forms
every time they cross a bor-
der. When they travelled from
TuniS to Algeria, one ques-
ton on the official form was,
Where did you spend the
last IL days?" Menuhin wrote
the reply, I'm my wife's

officials approved.

Reluctant Sailors
Gregory Peck and his wife
rented a house near here and
entertained two house guests.
Peter Ustinov came up from
Alicante, in Spain, where he
has been filming BILLY
Budd." He urged the Pecks to
use his yacht, but they were
content with their house.
Ustinov finally persuaded
them, brought the boat UP
from Spain and installed the
reluctant Pecks and their
house guests on it.
Living on a yacht doesn't
mean living at sea. They
cruise only when it's calm,
up and down the coastline,
but must be sure to return
by dusk and find a parking
space at the crowded port
in which to anchor. After
three days on the Ustinov
yacht, Peck reported good
news-the boat broke down,
and they could go back to
their house.
In all truth, I've learned
to envy no yacht owner. Sam
