The Worst of Faulkner
Follows His Best

SANCTUARY, a novel. By
William Faulkner (cor-
rected edition; Rand o m
House, $4.95).
The Faulkner canon has
come full circle. A few days
after the authors death a
corrected edition of "Sanctu-
airy" bites the tail of 1.-THE
Reivers", which appeared
only a few weeks before it.
The later novel is among
Faulkner's best; the earlier
is surely his worst-a cheap
job" as the author himself
called it.
But with all its garish
Observation-Disclosures sex, sad
ism, murder, lynching "a
Mississippi Ign C hing Of a
tphite manD, debauchery;
with all it's gangsters, boot
leggers, prostitutes, DRINKS,
mental detectives, pyroma-
niacs-it today has a certain
grace 1t lacked in 1881.

he writes, a strong central
government has little chance
of developing. The solution
lies in a loose federation
where individual states have
large measures of autonomy,
the author believes Tshombe
is not strong enough to set
up a separate state but he
has the strength to keep the
United Nations from subject
ing Katanga to strong central
control.
In the mysterious death Of
Congolese Premier Patrice
Lumumba, Mr.. Hempstone
provides a new version from
"a high and unimpeachable
source in the Belgian govern
ment." TShombe was not
present at the final beating
which finished Lumumba off,
according to this version, but
three of his cabinet ministers
were. EARL III. VOSS.

Womun's Heart
And Big Business
Sets Off q Fuse
THE SAN FRANCISCANS.
BY Niven Busch. (Simon
& Schuster; $4.95.)

g. Schuster; $4.950
The leading lady has a full
soft body like other beauti-
full ladies described by Niven
Busch. In addition, she has
the delicious feeling of
money and the power of the
bank behind her that her
husband built into an inSti-
tuition of command in the
San Francisco market place.
The executive heads of the
bank, are types that could
merge one into the other
without anyone being the
wiser.
From the other side of
town, the poor Irish quarter,
energies the hero, tall and
handsome and determined to
overthrow the bank and duel
the leading lady to the fin
ish, which in this case hap
pens to be the bedroom.
Herein lies the whole Situa-
ton. Two extraordinary peo-
pie with opposing interests
all tangled up in money ig-
mite a sex fuse destined to
burn up the movie screens.
That the stars are really
quite undistinguished should
not bother anyone.
We are taken into the pri-
vate meetings Of the board
and from these are supposed
to CLEAN the attitudes and
motivationS of big business
mergers as well as the secret
workings of a woman's heart.
Perhaps, we should be con-
tent that Niven Busch puts
us on a fast-riding horse
using his light sure prose
and gallops us through a
scenario that rushes by in a
flash and leaves us not q
thing to worry about or Won
der on, in the morning.

Mr.. Hempstone's evidence

The author strongly sus-

not sanctioned by the then
Secretary General Dag Ham
marskjold. but ordered with
out authorization by the
Tunesian Chief of U. N. civil
operations in the Congo,
Mahmoud Khiari.
Mr.. Hempstone believes
the United Nations funda-
mental policy of seeking a
strong, centralized Congo is
unavoidable. The Congo was
an artificial imperfect unity
when it was a Belgian Col

main so because African
tribal (separatist) forces are

When compared wit h the

book need not lack vitality,
that it can be a shambles

admirer Nevins points out
in his Introductory essay

though something of a snob,
he believed firmly in the
democratic processes, and
regarded prejudices as a pox
on those processes. Aside

perception, candor and. often,
with acid wit. Strong, of
course, was more than a mere
observer; he participated in
the events of his time. Ma
tionally he was a handspring
of the United States Sanitary
Commission. forerunner of
the American Red Cross. On
his home grounds, he helped
develop the New York Phil
harmonic and Columbia Uni
versity into the respected in
situations they are today.
Strong wrote consciously
but not self-consciously-for
poSterity. For whatever
lessons future generations
chose to draw from his ex-
perience of the Civil War, he
simply wrote as a witness
and judge of the men and
events of his time. To read

THINE THE GLORY. BY
Wyn Blaik Sutphin. (E. P.
Dutton & Co.; So
Every once in a great while
a book Of sermons appears
that stands out of the ordi-
nary humdrum compila-
ton Of such addresses. This
is one Of those books. 1t pos
sesses a plethora of literary
illusions that lights up the
points being made. 1t reveals
a word mastery challenging
to the reader. 1t embraces
numerous subjects, indicat-
ing a vivid interest on the
minister's part in the world
in which we live.
Mr.. Sutphin has been COM
pared to Peter Marshall, the
great preacher of New York
Avenue Presbyterian Church
in Washington. There is
much to make the COMPARE
son valid, though there are
points Of dissimilarity. The
minister Of First Presbyte-
rian Church, Pompano Beach,
Fla. uses the poetic arrange
ment the late Senate chap
lain employed. But while the
formers gift of words is
great. he does not possess the
soaring poetic ability Mar
shall had. Still, he has his
own attributes. Among them
is the ability to incorporate
an incident into the sermon
with telling effect. Another
is to use the vocabulary of
everyday life naturally ss
part Of the talk, a most diff
ficult thing to do.
All in all, this is a volume
discriminating sermon read
ers will want to peruse,

King A bdulla h, had been

Hussein writes.
At age 81 Hussein pitted

youthful King then had the
courage to disassociate him.

states whose leaders in a
greed for power had accepted
Communist aid and counsel.
HuSSein also abandoned
the royal practice of marry

instead became the husband
of a simple English girl who
brought him happiness.
Americans have some odd
notions about royalty" King
Hussein says. This book
helps to diSpel them.
Hussein also provides
Americans with the rare OPP
portunity of hearing the

The collections by Helen Fer

among the best for family
use and reading aloud. Poet
Untermeyer is particularly
successful in his brief COM
mentaries which point out
the special values of individ-

times to enjoy them most.
Read It Out Loud
One way Of getting the

it aloud. Stories, too, If they
are good enough, improve
wit h repetition. Untermeyer
emphasizes this: Older than
any book, as constant as the
cry for food, is the demand:
Tell me a story" If the
story delights enough, it is
followed by a econd de-
mand; TELL it again"
To meet this demand, The
Golden Treasury of Poetry,
selected by Louis Untermeyer
is now being followed by a
series of short story antholo-
gies. The total plan calls
for 10 volumes, from Mother
Goose to Bernard Shaw and

| Opening lead: Three of clubs.
In most bridge games East
would win the first two tricks
with high clubs and would
then look around for some
thing else to do. He would
probably return a trump, and
South would have no problems.
Against this simple defense
South wins the third trick with
the ace of trumps and ruffs a
club with dummy's remaining
trump. He then cashes the ace
of spades, ruffs a spade, and
draws trump. Eventually South
gives up a diamond, but he can
well afford to lose this trick.
Immediate Trump Return
South has more of a prob
lem If East returns a trump
at the second trick. South can
not ruff a club because there
is still a club in dummy. If
South leads a club, East wins
and leads a second trump to-
kill the ruff.
South must plan to set up
dummy's diamonds to dispose
of a club loser since he cannot
hope to ruff his third club. But
declarer cannot afford to draw
trumps first. for then the OPP
ponents would be able to get
two additional club tricks
when they won their diamond.
The solution is to give up a
diamond at once. Declarer wins
the second trick with dummy'S
jack Of hearts and let's the
opponents win the third trick
with a diamond.
East'S best defense is to cash
a club and return another
trump. South draws trumpsI
and eventually casheS the king
and ace Of diamonds. The suit
breaks normally. and South
can discard q club on one OF
dummy'S good diamonds.
