West hesitation to pass the first
round bidding gave East the i'm
preston that West has some values
and was reluctant to show them.
BY North showing a weak two
spades response, East took the op-
portunity to bid three hearts.
South getting a weak response
of two spades was reluctant to bid
three spades so West passed as did
North.
South led the spade king, dummy
played low, North signaled with
the nine and declarer drops the
lone seven. South continues with
the ace, dummy and North follow
and East ruffs in. East leads a
low heart and dummy is in with
the ace. Dummy plays the five Of
clubs, North covers with the queen,
East plays his ace, South follows
another club is led and South Is In
with the king. South continues the
spade and East ruffs in the closed
hand.
East led the trump ten and
North is in with the king and con-
tinues a spade. East sluffs a dia-
mond and dummy ruffs in now,
dummy cashes the ace Of diamond
and East ruffs another in the
closed hand. Now East pcks up
Souths last trump and the hands
lay down with a overtrick. Now II
North leads a diamond, East will
lose one more trick and the con-
tract is within the limits Of the

law requiring racial separa-
ton is relying upon a vain
and useless thing. We should
be better off, as a matter of
law, if Southern legislatures
would go through their codes
with an art gum, erasing the

For Years to Come
Once this is understood, Mr..
Fitzpatrick believes the South
can accommodate its customs
in a voluntary way. He points
to Virginia's Freedom Of
Choice plan, which permits
students to attend private
schools with State financial
help. And he believes the
South will maintain, in one
way or another, nearly total
separation of the races for
years to come. AS he ex-
presses it, change cannot be
wrought in the "twinkling of
a generation"

kENO1h, MY FATHER. BY
Jean Renoir. Gittle,
Brown; $3.50
In the arts at least, lives
of great men Oft remind us
that their value and signifi-
canoe for us properly resides
in their work, not in their
lives at all. The real "mys-
terry of Shakespeare" proba-
bly, stems from the Bard's
grasp of this principle; he
deliberately obscured his life
in order to prevent a biogra-
ply; the sepulchral injunc-
ton, Cursed be he who
moves my BONES" almost GER
tainly refers not to grave
robbers, but, with the au-
thor's well-known prophetic
soul, to biographical novel;
lists and inventive literary
scholars. Poor man.
Here's an exception.
Artist to Artist
The reason Jean Renoir's
book on his father, the paint
er, should be an exception to
the general rule is clear
enough: The son, too, is an
artist of substance. Never as
consistently successful as his
father, Jean Renoir neverthe-
less, in Mana" and in La
Grande Illusion" made per-
manent contributions to the
art of the movies. Artist
speaks to artist in a special
language and if one of them
is a narrative artist-Jean-
he can translate beautifully
for the rest of us.
without getting into the
scenic style, the book does
have a cinematic quality in
its construction. Such APP
proaches as dollying and
montage are in an inte-
lectual rather than a visual
sense. The intellectual quest
that begins the book and
holds it together is the time
less search for the father.
The story opens with Jean,
a young man, invalided
home from World War I,
meeting his father for the
first time in some years and,
in a sense, for the first time
ever. The youths mother, the
mans wife, has died. The
painter is alone and the two
invalids are left to knock
around the we'll stated
house. considerate of each
other, curious about each

dressed in a Dior suit,
startling, but most welcome.
What Miss Calisher has
achieved in this lucky COL
lection Of Is tales is beyond
the scope Of most short-story
writer's. She actually involves
the readers feelings.
Genuine Emotion
Who, for instance, could
read THE Hollow Boy" and
not applaud the flight of a
German adolescent whose
parents, scrimping for a
restaurant, give him a walters
uniform for a birthday
present? Who would not
cheer on Mrs. Fay Of Mrs.
Fay Dimes on Zebra" a
penniless widow, and de-
scendant of a long line Of
charmers of the rich, who
goes next door and woos a
wealthy widower with a series
of perfect anecdotes. And who
could fail to respond to the
plight of 1.-THE CoreopSiS Kid"
a plain little girl, who identi-
fies herself with her fathers
failing family retainer, and is
sure that his dismissal will
signal her own. Miss Calish-
er's prose is stylish to a de-
gree, but the emotions he
records are genuine.
1.-THE Rehabilitation Of
Ginevra Leake" is a triumph
of irony and understanding.
Ginny Doll is a disastrously
ugly Southern girl, a slave to
her mother. On mothers
death she joins the Com
munist Party rather than be
excluded from all parties, and
brings to the international
conspiracy the Southern COM
fort of hospitality and charm.
New York Settings
Miss Calisher's settings are
all in New York, either in
Manhattan or upstate. She
is most successful in evoking
the conflict of eras as SYM
bolized by the leiSurely Ed
wardian father and the
busting 20th-century mother
of Time, Gentlemen" One
or two of the stories on more
contemporary themes, like
Saturday Night" or "The
Screaming on Fifty-seventh
Street" struck this reader as
rather tenuous.
But at her best, Miss
Calisher is a writer Of mar
velous richness. The writing
is Of unwavering brilliance.

letters written by James and
an incredible a cunt Of
other related matter. He has
discovered Constance Feni-
more Woolson, the grand
niece of Fenimore Cooper, a
novelist Of limited but ap-
preciable talent, and prob
ably the recipient Of James
deepest and most lasting
affection. She idolized the
novelist at first in Florida,
and contriving to get an in
PRODUCTION to him in London,
set out abroad. She found
him in Italy, and James,
although far from lonely
and with the ability for self
protection customs airy to
celebrities, was at once de-
lighted with her. He became
her mentor in the art work
of Italy and her constant
companion. She was older
than he and perhaps a trifle
dowdy; her unquestionable
fascination for James was
partly in his natural response
to the adulatiop Of a dis
ciple, partly in his aware
ness that in Fenimore there
were many of the feminine
qualities lacking in his own
fictional women.
Whatever the basis of the
liaiSon, it lasted for IA years.
James never allowed it to de-
velop beyond intimate friend
ship, and at one time when he
was living under the same roof
with Fenimore, he was care
full to keep his other friends
misinformed. In 1894 Feni-
more threw herself out of her
window. a suicide. The act
was perhaps the greatest
tragedy Of James life; SUPER
imposed on his grief was
doubtless the pnawino re-
elimination that he, who
should have seen the recesses
OF a living soul as clearly as
he did of an imagined one,
should not have continued
in a tantalizing and only
half-realised relationship.
In so brief q notice of
MIR. Edel's biography as this
one is, it would be impossible
even to touch upon the many
aspects of a remarkably COM
pick life dealt with so elabo-
rately and with so varied and
painstaking skill. Though I
have confined myself largely
to James attitude to love and
matrimony it should not be
inferred therefore that Mr..
Edel's work is only a study of
eroticiSm in the life of his
subject. Every other aspect of
the simple yet ambiguous and
complicated man is fully set
forth in a book which, in
addition to being a biogra-
ply, is also a vivid exposi-
ton and criticism of the
writings Of Henry James.

This satiric novel about

young former Etonian who

mainly for its description of
the sadistic beatings and
humiliations that are A
traditional part OF the
famous institutions system
OF self-government. It is a
horrible thing to put teen
ayers under the absolute
dominion of other teen-agers
whose authority is made
honorable by a cruel tradi-

their elders mot only sane
ton but secretly enjoy the
Destiality. That the picture
is accurate is quite possible.

abuses, but probably times

If, as the publishers say.
the novel has scandalized the
English, it cannot in addition
have amused them very
much. The story is awkward
and artificial. and the style
is marred by an unsuccess-
full attempt to stuff every
sentence with a witticism.

THE SOUTHERN CASE FOR

SCHOOL SEGREGATION.
BY James Jackson Kilpat-
rick. (Crowell- Collier Press;
$3.50
In the court of public
opinion, segregation could
have no more artful advocate
than James j. Fitzpatrick,
who has had a lot of practice
in that role through the edi-
torial columns of the Rich
mond News Leader.
His is the losing side. The
jury, by and large, already
has decided the case. His
words, gracefully assembled
as they are, cannot change
the outcome. Notwithstand-
ing, Mr.. Kilpatrick under
takes his chosen assignment
with the zeal and precision
of an able defense counsel
determined to prolong a
guilty clients life as long as
possible.
All the Angles
To scorn Mr.. Kilpatrick's
efforts because of disagree
ment with his stand would be
unjust. AS indicated by the
title, the author concerns
himself solely with the seq
regationist white Southerner's
point Of view, Circa 1862
and who is better qualified?
To be sure, the book covers
q lot Of familiar ground with
a lot of familiar arguments
including many that can be
refuted as forcefully as Mr..
Fitzpatrick submits them.
Those overworked tables
about LEGITIMACY, crime sta
tistics, the usual assortment
of psychologists who take the
view that inherent intellec-
tual differences do exist be-
tween the races, the flight Of
white residents to the sub
urbS, the endless debate
about ratification of the 14th
equal protection) Amend
ment, and, of course, the Gus
tomary analysis of Supreme
Court decisions before segre-
cation was outlawed.
Plea for Understanding
But anyone acquainted with
the legalistic TRADES that once
characterized Mr.. Kilpatrick's
writing when his newspaper
was leading its drive for mas
Sive resistance will find much
that is new as he brings the
reader up to date on the cur
rent Segregationist state of
mind. This work is truly the
Appomattox of interposition
that ancient doctrine which
Mr.. fitzpatrick once resur-
rected to spur white suprem-
acy hopes that the Supreme
Courts decision could be
nullified. 1t is also a plead
ing for mercy, for under
standing, for time now that
the verdict is in.
In summing up, Mr.. Kill
patrick observes:
"As a creature Of law,
racial segregation in the
United States is dead. The
voices once confidently raised
in the South, crying that the
court would reverse itself in
time, have all but died out
now. The court will not re-
verse ITSELF" He even la
ments that many staunch
Southerners, declaring them
selves unwilling to surrender,
do not realize that as a mat
ter of law the war is over"
And he acknowledges that

His Fathers Portrait

other, reaching toward each
other.
This is not to suggest that
Jean Renoir has written the
story of his search for his
father in those terms. Rather
such a seeking motivated the
long evenings of CONVERSE
ton and Renaissance be-
tween the old painter and the
future artist in an art that
was even then being brought
to existence.
There is little technical
discussion of how to paint
according to Renoir; there is
little art history in the man
ner of John Rewald. Glints
from both those fields illu-
inmate the book at points,
but essentially this is the
story of a great man, told
so as to reveal the qualities
that made him great or that
manifested his greatness.
Humanity and humility were
strong among them and an
absolute lack of pretense of
any kind. There was dedica-
ton so total as to inspire an
answer in kind from Nine.
Renoir though neither father
nor son imagined she fully
grasped what the painter was
up to.
Golden Light
The author added to his
knowledge Of his father
through subsequent CONVEX
sations with Gabrielle, his
own nurse and Renoir's ia
vorite model for years, and
with such contemporaries as
the son of Paul Cezanne.
With no hint of mawkish-
ness, the book is also the
story Of a happy marriage
and how the happy marriage
naturally created for itself a
happy family and how the
family extended itself
through a vast collection Of
friends, fellow-artists, mod
els, servants. neighbors and
casual visitors, all Of whom
were truly members, in some
degree, Of the family.
We arrive. finally, at the
realization that the golden
light of Renoir which so en-
frances in, for example, the
Boating Party" at the Phil
lips, is really the light of
love shining naturally from
a personal atm osphere
drenched in that virtue.

In Vests direction anyway, SO
there's no advantage In hold
ing up the ace Of hearts. If
West continues hearts, he will

suit"
South leads q club to

fish, lead another heart and
give me my ninth trick"
No luck. West makes a safe
exit with q club to dummy's
king. South takes the ace and
jack of spades, discarding a
heart from dummy. West dis
cards the deuce Of hearts on
the third spade.
"West started with exactly
five hearts, since he led the
three and also had the deuce.
He had only two spades. That
leaves him six cards in clubs
and diamonds to start with"
Tries Clubs
South leads his last club to
dummy's ace. West discards the
eight of hearts. TOO bad that
suit didn't break to give me
my ninth trick. Hello, west
started with only two clubs.
Therefore he must have held
four diamonds; and East could
have only two diamonds. No
chance of East's getting the
lead If I play the diamonds"
So declarer takes the top dia-
monds and gives West the third
round of diamonds. West can
cash his other diamond, but
then he must lead hearts from
the QSi0 to South's J-nine. This
gives South his ninth trick.
South didn't have a single

problem was to keep his mind
