The wife Of a high school
principal and the mother of
two teen-agers, Rena Morri-
son trudges back in memory
through long years of child
hood and adolescence under
a tedious, PROFESSIONAL father
who said "continuum" at
least six times a day. (And,
come to think of it, before
Durrell0 Rena's intense pre-
occupation with her shifting
attitudes toward her father
is resolved only by his death,
in a not unexpected manner.
In the meantime the reader
is subjected to a grinding,
unremitting, itemized &C
count of the irritations that
plague the poor woman's
everyday existence. Rena's
constant struggle with the
fractionalized, needing side
of life is detailed exhaus-
lively, but skillfully.
The author, who has lived
in Washington for many
years, is a member of the
English department of Amer
lean University.

Young children often find
that the home aquarium, the
seashore, the nearby pond
or river offer easily observed
material for scientific study.
What child has not come
home with baby turtles, frogs
eggs, or Starfish to add to
his collection of rocks or

science books are designed to
carry on from these natural
hobbies. The best books are

key. Ernest's wife, when she
heard of the kidnapping that
night, arranged for Mac
Leish's return to civilization,
but, as Leicester says quietly,
"the bond of camaraderie be-
tween the two men was de-
stroyed."
Leicester's reporting often
has a quaint precision. He,
says that at one time Ernest
was drinking "15 to II
Scotch-and-sodas over the
course of a day." Boswell
himself could not be more
observant. Casanova could
not introduce a heroine
more elegantly than Leicester
brings Martha Gellhorn on
the scene: Martha was a
tall blonde from st. Louis
with extremely good legs, a
fine sense of humor, and the
ability to write exceedingly
well. She located Sloppy Joe's
bar, saw Ernest's name on one
of the bar stools, and asked
if he really came in there as
had been rumored =. :"
1t is a sad fact that Ern-
est'S mother ("she could sing.
as few other women of the
last half century" says Lei.
ceSter) and his father, a doc
tor, were neither of them able
to enjoy their elder sons
greatest book. Our parents"
admits Leicester, when they
finally read The Sun Also
Rises, were as bewildered
and shocked as convent girls
visiting a bawdy house. Their
reading Of it at all was as
unlikely as such a visit, ex-
cept that their son was the
author. They did not know
what to make of the scenes
and characters in the book.
Their emotions were thor
oughly shaken and life at
home, I remember, was like
trying to walk on empty egg
shells without cracking any.
1t was referred to as that
book, in Mortified tones"
Ernest Hemingway did not
pass on to his younger
brother the knack of writing
more than passably well, but
he did show him the value
of a zest for life.

Contributing Writer

The revolution in reading
and reading materials, which
has produced a generation of
children who read far more
than their parents, both
from bookiSh and non book
homes, has also produced a
generation of children who
delight in science and nom
fiction.
One of the reading discov-
cries Of the last decade is that
the reluctant reader does not
necessarily need easier books.
Often, what he (and it usu-
ally is he) needs most of all
is a book that interests him.
In many cases, this is a
science book. 1t may even be
a rather technical science
book, full Of words like ny
dro-dynamicS or cyclotron
or neutron diffraction. 1t
has even been noted that a
boy who cannot, or will not,
read BLACK Beauty" or alice
in Wonderland" will have no
trouble reading about jet
propulsion or experiments in
electronicS.

ter, the much younger
brother, Ernest was awe-in-
spring. a cross between God
and Shakespeare, but he was
also a good companion. 1t is
largely Ernest the sportsman
and lusty liver with whom
Leicester is concerned, and
the calibre of a hunting rifle,
the horsepower of an Evin-
rude cupboard, the quickest
way to inc e st cognac
(breathe in suddenly after
swallowing a mouthful, so
that the alcohol will be va
porized in the lungs), are the
kind of subjects that give the
volume its personality and
charm.
Ernest was not "emaScu-
lated by a war wound. He
was not hit 237 times in the
groin. Nor was he a basket
case" Leicester points out
that Ernest himself was the
joyous fabricator of these and
similar rumors, thus contrib
uting to the great popularity
of his first books by the crea-
ton Of a character outside
the pages of "The Sun Also
Rises" and "a Farewell to
Arms"
Ernest was Hemingway'S
own greatest hero. On a dare
he shot a snipe and ate it
raw, crunching the bones. He
played a game of Chicken"

in which each in turn would
dive a car ever faster and
more recklessly in an attempt
to force the other to cry

who was very nearsighted,
would take off his glasses,
"in case of solid impact"
This little tale of Leicester's

by his remark, in no con-

Founder of Ores

Her First Novel
LIKE A RIVER OF LIONS

LIKE A RIVER OF LIONS.
BY Tana de Cameo. New
York Graphic Society;
$4.950
Miss de Cameo is best
known in Washington as
founder of the Ores Gallery,
which is still one of the lead
ing show places for advanced
painting and sculpture from
America and abroad. She is
also a public relations official
for Israel in the United
States and has a varied back
ground in communications.
In her first novel, Like a
River of Lions" Miss de
Gamez has accomplished the
considerable feat of linking
together the two chief ro-
mantic-liberal wars of our
time, the Civil War in Spain
and the War of the Liberation
Of Israel. She has also thrown
in guitar-playing and enough
mystical sex to stock a chain
of bordelloS.
The war in Spain was i'm
portant, and so was the
foundation of Israel. Certain
ly sex is important. Yet Miss
de Cameo succeeds in re-
ducing all these things to
a combination of ladies' mag
azine fiction and two-minute
lectures by an extremely OBJ
servant observer Of the arts.

Delightful Heroine

Of understanding and even

Pile, racuous and generous,
voluble and self-critical. :"
He has a tendency to write
about his characters rather
than letting them speak for
themselves. His heroine is
delightful. but some Of the
other are rather dim, posi-
bly, because Mr.. Rajan is a
little more interested in atti-
tudeS than in people, so that
his story comes to full pause
now and then while he writes
himself a little essay. But he
has a wonderful sense Of
humor and a lively style, and
his book will undoubtedly help
bridge gaps left uncovered by
graver tones.

The top secret battle be-
tween great scientists to de-

icy is the subject of this book.
Americans caught a rare
glimpse Of these scientific
skirmishes in the recent con-
troversy over statements by
Physicist Hans Bethe on the
nuclear weapons program.
In Great Britain today
scientists and Members of
Parliament are debating this
issue: How can national
leaders, who as laymen can
not understand advanced
science, keep great scientists
on tap but not on top?"
The subject of this biog-
raphy probably enjoyed more
political power than any
scientist in history. He was

tanned Lindemann as his
personal science adviser dur

the early postwar develop
ment of atomic power.
Grapple for Power
At the same time Linde-
mann held this position an
other leading scientist, Sir
Henry lizard, was chairman
Of Britain's Scientific Survey
for Air Defense. In a grap-
pie for power the two scien-
lists, once close friends, be-
came mortal enemies" to
use lizards words. Their
war divided the scientific
world. Now that the passage
of time permits a lifting of
security regulations, Linde-
mann has been publicly &C
cused of scientific Grimes"
including failure to apply i'm
portant discoveries to rocket
warfare.
The Earl Of Birkenhead
in this book attempts to set
the scientific record straight
in Lindemann'S favor. Birk-
enhead has gathered state
mentS by notable scientists
including Fellows in the Royal
Society and holders of the
Nobel Prize.
OF interest is Albert Elm
STEMS appraisal of Linde-
mann and Lord Birkenhead'S
pointed answer to Sir Charles
Snow &c. P. Sncw), the SCI
entist-novelist, who attacked
Lindemann on personal and
scientific grounds in lectures
at Harvard University.
During most of his life
Lindemann moved in close
association with the great
and influential families of
England. In 1941 he was
made a peer, later a Wis
count. Lord Birkenhead be-
lieves that it is no wonder
that other scientists, mostly
from the professional classes,
found Lindemann hard to
commune with. Since battles
over scientific policy are
cloaked in secrecy, the COM
bat frequently resorted to
personal accusations and
ridicule.

HITLER'S SECRET ROOK.

HITLER'S SECRET BOOK.
Introduction by Telford
Taylor. (Grove Press; So
Five years after Adolf Hit
Ter published Mein Kampf
he dictated another book on
his philosophy Of world poll
tics and German national
policy. But he suppressed
the book. In May, 1945, an
American officer in Germany
confiscated the manuscript.
1t was kept in the United
States National Archives I'M
til the summer of 1858 when
it was identified beyond ques-
ton as a second book by
Hitler himself. Recently a
limited edition of the work
was published in Germany.
The treatise is mainly a
reStatement of the Hitler
philosophy. The German
dictator probably suppressed
the work because it was so
explicit about his foreign
policy detectives.
All the old, detestable
theories are there: Peace is
as damaging to society as
war; aggression can be per-
fectly justifiable if a vigorous
people need lebensraum.
On trade: Although the
primary weapons of this
struggle lie in pricing and
in the quality of the goods
with which nations COM
petitively try to undersell
one another, in the end the
ultimate weapons even here
lie in the sword"
The work is filled with
references to "the interna-
tional Jewish racial maggots"
who thrive on peaceful eco
nomic policy.
At the end of the book
Hitler lays out his view of
the Jews, who he says were
trying to destroy the in
tellectual upper classes" and
take over as "the master of
a mankind become leaderless"
by bloody Bolshevization,"
economic conquest" and
"promiScuous Decentralization"

Final Volume
Of Naval History
Has Fine Index

HISTORY OF u. S. NAVAL
OPERATIONS IN WORLD
WAR Unemployment and
Index. BY Rear Admiral
Samuel Eliot Morrison,
USNR (retired). (Atlantic
Monthly Press; $7.50)
This, the 18th volume of a
remarkable series, is the cap
stone of Historian Morison's
monumental work, begun as
an official Navy project
shortly after Pearl Harbor.
AS a newly commissioned
lieutenant commander bear
ing letters of authority from
President Roosevelt and Navy
Secretary Knox, the noted
Harvard professor and au-
thor reported the naval war
in both the Atlantic and Pa
cific-mostly from firsthand
observation aboard warships
engaged in battle. Never be-
fore has a major sea conflict
been so accurately, faith
fully and colorfully recorded.
In Volume XIV, last of the
series, Admiral Morrison ties
together the loose ends of
the final mopping-up opera
tons following the formal
surrender of Japan aboard
the USS Missouri, lists all
ships of the Navy which had
a part in the victory over
Germany and Japan, COR
reefs errata discovered by
himself or others in the pre-
ceding volumes and provides
a comprehensive and invalu-
able general index to the en-
Tire series.
The book is of interest to
the average reader both be-
cause of it's authentic and
sometimes grim story of the
piecemeal surrender of iso-
lated Japanese garrisons on
scattered islands and atollS
in the Pacific and because
of the paintings in full color
and photographs of many of
the ships and aircraft in &C
ton. And Volume XIV is in
diSpenSable to all who have
collected and read the earlier
books of the Morrison history.
