'Tropic Of Capricorn" assured
of complete satisfaction.
The events related in Cap
ricorn" take place before
those Of Cancer" although
the present work was written
several years later. The To-
Gale Is not Paris but New
York. We see Henry beset
by as malodorous and repug-
nant a Fate as ever plagued
a young hero. Almost against
his viii he gets q job as per-
sonnel manager Of the Cos
modemonic Telegraph Co.,
and in his frenzy to hire all
the riff-raff Of New York in a
sort Of puerile protest against
the strangulation Of individ-
uality by society and big
business he runs into some of
the most unsavory compan-
ions and experiences imagin-
able. Unfortunately, freedom
may bring a certain hectic
happiness, but in Miller's
book 1t never makes q person
out OF q name. AS soon as a
character Is absent for 10
pages he or she sinks into
perfect oblivion, and when
reintroduced the reader riff
fleS back for q re-introduc-
ton to a nonentity.
Though similar to Can
Ger" In many ways, Capri
corn" is inferior to the ear
lier book In the almost com
plete absence Of any narra-
tive. Mr.. Miller is q good
story teller when he takes
the trouble, but most Of this
book Is an amorphous mass
Of self-pity and self-glorifi-
cation, q adulterated d with
sophmoric allegiance to big
names like Dostoevsky, Bal
zac and Valery, set forth in
tefminably with q gushing
flaccidity unstiffened by any
artistic self-control. Miller
admits that he wrote as
many as 5000 words q day;
he does not try to con US into
believing that he ever read
them over. The first rs pages
Of the book are Of an unre-
lieved dullness not matched
since ''V VS. Eyes"
After Miller has exposed
the flesh-pots and money

The CoIorfuI Pageant
Of the Blue Nile

Iish churchmarl-these were
the only visitors to these
savage hinterlands until the
veil started to lift from the
Blue Nile in the 1770s with
the discovery Of the source
of the river by Scotsman
James Bruce.
Bruce had a bitter expert
ence indeed because he was
laughed at when he pub
lished the details Of his dis
covery and he died, as so
often happens, without hon.
or in his own time. But his
reports Of the river and its
peoples was correct in most
respects and there Is little
doubt that Napoleon Bona
parte had read Bruce's find
ings when he invaded Egypt
and awoke that country from
the sleep Of centuries.
The Emperor's soldiers
never got more than 500
miles upriver but they did
dispose Of the Mameluke
rulers Of Egypt which had
the effect Of creating q
vacuum filled ably by Mu-
hammad Ali. This avaricious
soul then sent his sons muir
dering and plundering into
Nubia and the Sudan in
search Of gold and slaves.
They halted only when they
reached the ramparts Of the
Ethiopian escarpment.
A primitive Land
High in these mountains
lay a primitive land where
the clock had stood still since
biblical times. The Ethiopians
were and are Coptic Chris
tians whose rulers considered
themselves descended from
King Solomon. They were at
continual war with the Arabs
and Negroes Of the Sudanese
plain below and with each
other.
In the 1S50's, an English
man named Plowden pene-
trated Ethiopia during the
bloody and uncertain reign Of
the Emperor Theodore, q
madman in the precise pat
tern Of Adolf Hitler. Theo-
dore later took 1t upon him
self to imprison British dip
lomatic personnel. prompting
q most reluctant military
expedition by Vietoria's SOL
diers which resulted in the
suicide Of Theodore but no
more than the usual chaos
in Ethiopia.
But by his sanguinary con-
duct, the unlamented Theo-
dore caused the door to his
country to be opened and all
mystery vanished about the
Blue Nile.
In reciting the stories Of
Bruce. Napoleon, Muhammad
Ali, Theodore and others,
Mr.. Moorehead uses them as
q framework for telling as
much as man knows about
the Blue Nile. In his usual
expert fashion. Mr.. Moore
head has made this book
both suspenseful and infor-
native.

BURY ME IN RAVENNA. BY
Agnes Carr Vaughan.
Doubleday; $4.500
The splendor Of the mos
aics adorning the mausoleum
Of Gala Placidia in Ravenna,
Italy. could make even so
sophisticated . sightseer as
Bernard Berenson suck in his
breath. Small wonder that
Agnes Carr Vaughan, Pro-
feSsor Emeritus Of Classical
Languages and Literature
at Smith College, should
have felt compelled to tell
the story Of the Dowager EN-
press who created them.
Gala Placidia, daughter
of Theodosius the Great, was
carried off by the Visigoths
in 410 AID. She married At
aulf, their leader, and be-
came Queen Of the Goths.
When her husband was slain,
her half brother Honorius
ransomed her and married
her to his general, Constan-
thus, who was elevated TO
co-emperor Of the Western
Empire in AL. Their son,
Valentinian III. succeeded to
the throne as an infant in
AIS. In the interval, Con-
stantius had died Of a broth
el disease, and Honorius-
whose ssions included
game cocks. monkeys, and
his sister, but not his wives
had driven Gala Placidia
into exile in Constantinople.
She returned to Ravenna as
Regent during her sons in
fancy and directed the affairs
Of the Western Empire. In
440 she designed the marble
and brick mausoleum in
which her body was en-
tombed 10 years later. She
awaited resurrection sitting
upright in o silver-sheathed
Sarcophagus, under o dome
Of stars enctrcling q cross Of
gold.
The riches Of the Empress
story prove an embarrass-
ment. Miss Vaughan is torn
between her professional 10y
atty to history-the disinte-
grafton Of the empire, the
Arian and Pelagian heresies,
the messy background fab
ric of fact-and her flicker
ing insightS into the spirit
ual and psychological di-
lemmas of Gala Placida.
The choice Of an autobio-
graphical form makes sense,
but she abandons it midway
and puts the story into the
hands first Of an attending
eunuch, then Of q serving
woman. In the last quarter
Of the novel she returns to
autobiography tainted by
Browning's "The Bishop Or
ders His Tomb"
A straight historical mar
rative, at least in form,
would have been preferable,
and Miss Vaughan can han
die history with evocative
power as she proved in her
straightforward "The House
Of the Double Axe" in 1859.
Readers Of Bury Me in Ra-
VIENNA" will learn q great
deal about Roman and
Gothic life from the first
half Of this book; the re-
mainder fails to re-create
life and drifts into mere re-
porting Of events, interrupt
ed by the distant thunder Of
an empire falling.

THE BLUE NILE. BY Alan


Moorehead. (Harper q
Row; $3.50
There are, Of course. two
Niles, the White and the
Blue. Mr.. Moorehead has
made them his own province.
They could not be in better
hands. Here he repeats the
accomplished Job he did two
years ago in the White Nile.
To orient the reader, the
Nile river is the life-source
of Egypt and all of north
east Africa. The White rises
in Lake Victoria and the
Blue at Lake Tana in Ethi-
opia and they join to form
the main river near Khar-
toum in the Sudan.
Mr.. Moorehead's method
Of disclosing the secrets Of
the Blue Nile and the peoples
who have depended on it
from the beginning Of time
is to relate the river to the
men who have wondered
about it in relatively modern
times.
For well over 1000 years.

Proposed Capital Move

FAIRBANKS tP - Councilman Ted Cox told the City Council Monday night that some bonding companies he visited last week ln New York said that the move of Alaska's capital might have very adverse effect on the states fl- nancial status and bonding posi- tion.
 Cox, municipal utilities manager Robert Wade, and Don Chandler were in New York last week to witness the bid opening on S3 million revenue bond sale and in= tervieWed various bonding house officials.
 In statement to the Council Cox said in part:
 "A number of representatives of financial houses asked if we thought the capital would be moved. To this, naturally, all we could give was personal opinion. They, however, informed Us that in their opinion it would have a very adverse effect on our financial status and bonding position. 7
 He continued. my reason for mention of the possible state capi- tal move is not my desire to have the capital at any particular loca- ton but to show my concern as to the effect it will have not only on the state but all it's munich palities in dealing with investment houses, and the effective interest rate we may expect to receive

 The HULA can pack more fire power than any fighter plane that fleW in World War II, American military sources say.
 Their mission here is to explore fully the possibilities of helieopter War. The many helicopters now in use in Viet Nam and in other cold War areas are more like flying buses than. war machines. They are also vulnerable to guerrilla ground fire
 The turboiet was built in 1856 for the US Defense Department as an air ambulance by the Bell Aircraft C. Last year, American sources said, it decided 10 try out the machine as an armaments platform devoted exclusively to combat
