Despite its extraordinary
length, the novel never pales.
There is excitement and SYM
pathy and anticipation on
every page and I think no
writer of novels can hope to
accomplish more than that.
1t is not necessary to wade
through half understood
symbolism in "Youngblood
Hawke" This is the story Of
a man, of his career as a
writer and Of the people
whose lives he touches as he
moves toward his inevitable
destruction.
A Wolfe Prototype
OF course, the reader is
free to speculate that the
career of 'Y oungbloo d
Hawke" is remarkably like
that Of the late Thomas
Wolfe in that it involves a
talented man with a pen
chant for woman trouble, a
most aggressive mother and
an early date with death. 1t
is also permissible to specu-
late that there may be a
Smattering Of autobiography
in "Youngblood Hawke"
Mr.. Wouk disclaims this.
No person living or dead is
depicted among the phan-
toms in this, his greatest
novel, according to the au-
thor. Yet Mr.. Wouk obviously
has drawn heavily on his own
experiences with the publish
ing business, with the stage
and with Hollywood and it is
a rare insight he gives into
all three.
IndOmitable Triangle
The novel spans l946
through 1861, centered on a
powerful and shaggy young
brute from the Eastern Ken
lucky hills, who descendS
upon New York with a hand
written first novel to sell. At
the outset, Hawke is depicted
as a fabulously well-read
former Seabee with the work
habits of a Trappist monk
and just about the same de-
gree of experience with
women.
His vigorous but unpol-
iShed talent is Immediately
diScernible to a New York
publisher who assigns q young
stylist, Jeanne Green, to tidy
up the book. Thus COM
mences both the success and
the destruction of young
Hawke. He is bilked pretty
badly by the publisher, falls
in love with Jeanne but some
how ends up in the nearly
perpetual embrace Of

is a triangle that persists to

These hospitals and inStitu-

as promptly on the contracts as
"one might have hoped"
The new contracts will con-
tain an additional paragraph
designed to prohibit private
hospitals from discriminating
against Negro doctors who ap-
ply for admission to the visiting
or courtesy stats.
Mr.. Tobriner said that the
addition Of this clause was not
a factor in the contract delay,
Mr.. Tobriner and Commits
sioner John B. Duncan said
steps will be taken to insure
that the hospital contracts will
be mailed out more promptly
next year.
Said to Owe 81 Million
william M. Butcher, execu-
tive director of the Hospital
Council of the National Capital
Area, said that the District now
owes the private hospitals and
institutions about 81 million
because no payments have been
made since the new fiscal year
started.
Asked II he thought any Of
the hospitals would balk at
signing the contracts because
of the addition Of a new section
designed to block discrimina-
ton against Negro doctors, Mr..
Bucher said that he does mot
believe that any hospital Off
cial could comment on this
until he has seen the actual
language in the contract"
Another informed source, who
declined to be identified, pre-
dicted that the hospitals would
accept the new contract con-
dition readily because they need
District funds so badly.
