A BOOK FOR TODAY
By DONALD MINTZ
Useful Clinical Study of Russians

volve some absurd assess
ments of the position of the
West.
They are important to us
nevertheless partly as guides
to recent Soviet political
thought and strategy and
partly because as nearly as
one can make out they are
compounded of truth as well
as error. The elements Of
truth are likely to concern
the most unpleasant and
dangerous aspects of West
ern society and it is educa-
tional to have them thrust
at us in their most hostile
and unpalatable formula
tions.
1t is unfortunate, then
though perhaps necessary
that so interesting a book
has been brought out under
a pseudonym.
Given the attitude Of the
Soviet Union towards those
who wish to plumb its depths,
it must willy-nilly be in part
based on information and
experiences that are not gen.
orally available. This justi-
flies a certain indicate curl
oSity on the part of the
reader. Who is "Mr. Novak?"
How did he come by his spe-
cialized knowledge?
The introduction by Joseph
G.. Harrison of the Christian
Science Monitor tells us that
the author is "a young but
widely experienced scholar
from behind the Iron Cur
TAIN" that he is "of partly
Russian background" that
he has master of arts de-
grees in both history and po-
litical science" that he
Served for three years as an
assistant professor in one of
the leading academies Of SCI
ences behind the Iron Cur
tain" and that he "is in the
United States and is about to
receive his Pho. from a fore
most American university"
WE NEVER LEARN what
nation it is that Mr.. Novak
refers to from time to time
as my country" though he
tells us that a high party of
ficial in the Soviet Union
opened many doors to him
and made possible direct con-
facts with many different
people.
In an earlier book, Mr.. No
yak described himself as hav-
ing been "a minor bureau
crat from one of the satellite
countries, enjoying the con-
fidence of a number of highly
situated USSR officials"
Whoever he may be, he has
made a valuable contribu-
ton. For we need to increase
our knowledge of our oppo-
nents and their psychology
however uncongenial the
knowledge may be. We need
acknowledge too, including
the strength to face the bad
with the good. The mysteri-
GUS Mr.. Novak has aided us
on both counts.

Any objective autopsy over
President Kennedy's ill
starred effort to create a
special Cabinet-rank depart
ment for city people will
show a good many political
casualties. major or minor,
strewn about the field of
battle.
Though perhaps nobody
and no party was fatally hit,
there is no doubt that some
wounds will be carried for a
long time.
Congress was right in over
whelmingly rejecting this
plan, if only because it be-
came the vehicle for the
harshest kind of divisive do
nestle politicking. 1t TO-
mented unnecessary urban
versus-rural animosities and
brought the race question up
in an extreme and ugly way.
On the surface, the Presi-
dent, himself, has suffered
his first congressional defeat
of this session. The defeat,
however, is more apparent
than real. While he did not
get the new department, he
did succeed in putting the
Republicans on record as
against it for the coming
congressional elections.
Possible Damage to Unity
Whether the Republicans
will be punished by minority
group voters remains to be
seen. They should not be;
for the real objection was to
the department itself and not
to its proposed Negro head.
DR.. Robert Weaver. But at
any rate the Republicans
cannot call themselves
blameless in this wretched
affair. For months many of
them had been batting the
President for mot doing
enough for the Negro" For
months many of them had
been demanding" extreme,
unavoidable and unpassable
civil rights laws.
The Presidents real loss
could be both intangible and
important. Up to this point
he had taken a wise line of
moderation and Cancellation
with the Republicans in Con-
gress in pursuit Of his one
great objective. This objec-
tive has been to maintain
the fullest national unity on
the truly vital issues of the
cold war and foreign trade.

Nominations in Order

Because so many young
people in the Greater Metro
politan area are performing
deeds that benefit their fell
lows but go unheralded, B'nai
Birth Women's Abram Simon
Chapter is, for the fifth con-
secutive year, presenting the
Kronman Youth Award.
Nominations for this award
"a certificate of merit and
a United States Savings Bond
are invited. They may be
submitted by a teacher, social
worker, adult adviser, or
leader of a youth group, club
or civic unit. Nominees must
be under 81 years of age,
members of any race or creed,
and have served during the
year 1861 where an untitled
need existed, or have initiated
and carried through a prof.
ect that filled such need.
In the past an award was
given to a 17-year-old boy,
for example, who organized
athletic activities in an area
that was a potential trouble
spot, and to a group of young
girls who spent their precious
week ends teaching Sunday
school to emotionally dis
turbed children who lacked
opportunity for this kind of
learning and for companion
ship.
There is a great incentive to
substitute good for evil when
there is public recognition of
the good. The citizens of the
Greater Metropolitan area can
encourage it's youth to find
constructive ways in which to
use energy, imagination, and
spare time by getting behind
efforts such as this one I'M
dertaking by the Kronman
Youth Award Committee, and
by submitting nominations to
Mrs. Frank M. Fields, 6423
10th street NV. Such en-
couragement will do more
to prevent delinquency than
threats of punishment can
ever accomplish.
Please send me nominations
by March since the judges,
who come from the fields of
education, welfare, the press
and civic organizations, will
make a selection during that
month. The awards will be
presented at a luncheon in
April.

NO THIRD PATH. BY Jo-

by Joseph G. Harrison. 359
pages. doubleday & Co.,
Inc; $4.50)
Joseph Novak's "No Third
Path" is an attempt to de-
scribe in detail and explain
in part the nature of that re-
markable creature, homo So
vieticus, the Soviet man.
The book gives every indi-
cation of being consonant
with what we already know
and is clearly the work of a
powerful and perceptive
mind.
There are a number of
stories of the fates of indi-
viduals-horror stories from
our point of view-and their
purpose is plainly illustrative
rather than sensationalist
These are cleverly intermin-
gled with theoretical discus
sions of the relation of the
individual and the collective
cleaned from interviews with
Soviet intellectuals and long
excerpts and summaries of
Soviet novels which offer ap-
proved models of hu m a n
conduct.
Here, for example, a pro-
lessor discusses the collec-
Invitation of the individual:
"It can be said that the
stepping stones toward sue
cess in the USSR success
for the individual, that is
are a series of stumbles,
downfalls and acutely painful
experiences, rather than an
accumulation of achieve
ments, victories and accom-
plishments. This is a result
of the relations which exist
between group and individ-
ual, since the process of the
individuals subordination to
the group on the one side,
and the pressure exerted by
the group on that individual
on the other, are inSeparably
bound together since
there cannot be absolute
unanimity between the life of
the individual and that of
the group, mutual adaptation
and adjustment occur by way
of a series of consecutive COL
lisions which no one can
avoid"
THE INDIVIDUAL has no
life outside the group which
constitutes a cross section Of
that which Is most impor-
tant, most unifying and most
common to all of them"
When a man fails as a mem
Der of the collective and is
criticized and INDUCES in
self = criticism, he actually
succeeds because he has
managed to break through
and overpoWer his separate
ness"
There is more in this vein,
and the reader tempted to
turn away in confusion and
disgust would do well to re-
member that in the West re-
ligious communities have long
endured on the basis of a
very similar psychology. OBJ
viously, it can be done. And
secular pressureS in this di-
rection exist in free societies,
too. 1t is beneficial to see
them in their most extreme
form.
There is a most interesting
section that outlines five
current Soviet main theories
about the manner in which
communism will overcome the
West. Some of these assume
major war, others minor war,
others no war at all. All of
them will seem to us to in

enjoyed the beautifully
etched pieces of Mary Nc
Grory in The Star. She seems
the fully realized reporter.
Bringing superb equipment
to her task, Miss McGrory
conveys the ideal impression
of the perceptive face in the

written) churnings of Young
America in the throes of the
first adolescent political
awakenings in this country
since the thirtieS.
The competitive urge Of
our youth in the political
area, widely undiscussed, is
touched on subtly. The con-
formity of American young
people, even among the
liberals" (dress, boards, etc.
is gently presented. The
Pavlovian esponse is
dramatized, each extremity
Of opinion salivating to the
a anticipated tinkle or
andi shed slogan. The
much-heralded surge" of
conservatism" is laid open,
with a knowledgeable seal
pei, exposing a pitiable con-
Torrance.
Certain types of people
become Democrats, certain
types Republicans. Marya
Names, another great fe-
male reporter, points this up
clearly (and with honest
emotion in her provocative
More In Anger: "A typical
Republican is a man with a
strong sense of social status,
however limited, and a deep
allegiance to business, pref
erably big Republicans
have always considered
themselves to be an elite of
responsibility The Demo-
Gratis think they are more
intelligent than the Repub-
licans, and I prefer that
basis of assumption more
than the social or economic
one. When a Republican
expresses concern for the
people or minorities or the
underprivileged, it's an ex-
preston of enevolence
rather than Identification
They (RepubllcanS) are in
clined to be pious and
solemn and very unfunny -.
It's hardly an accident that
nearly every major talent in
the United States in the art
or sciences is a Democrat

inclination :"
Whether essaying opinion
(Miss Mannes) or reporting
in depth (Miss McGrory) it
is delightful to contemplate
the talents of our lady
writer's. They project a
sensitivity to the public mind
too often trampled by their
male counterparts.
I hope Miss McGrory
writes a novel one of these
days. I have a feeling there
is a good one in her.
