THEOD ORE FRANCIS
GREEN-The Rhode Island
Years 1906-I936. BY Erwin
L. Levine. Brown Univer-
sity Press; $50
Theodore Francis Green,
the Oldest man ever to sit in
the United States Senate, and
the rise Of the Democratic
Party in Rhode Island are
intimately linked in a new
book written by Erwin L.
Levine. Mr.. Levine holds a
doctorate in political science
from Brown University and
teaches government at Skid
more College. Into Theodore
Francis Green-The Rhode
Island Years 1906-l936" he
has put an intensive study of
political events in the Nations
smallest State which for years
had been dominated by the
Republican Party until cor
ruption had crept into the
State government. Underlying
themes Of Mr.. Levine's book
are political reform and the
final emergence Of ethnic
groups Of citizens as powerful,
when united. in winning local,
State and national elections.
The part that former SEN
ator Green, now IS years old,
played in the reform move
ment in Rhode Island politics
and government is infinitely
described by DR.. Levine, after
intensive study. His picture Of
Senator Green Is sympathetic
and glowing with praise. Yet
Mr.. Levine has made 1t clear
that Senator Green showed
himself a master politician in
his struggle to overthrow a
Republican boss-ridden ma
chine. His craftsmanship
never lost sight Of the neces-
sity Of the arts Of the politi-
clan.

THE LAURELS AND THE
TIARA. By R. ]. Mitchell.
Doubleday; S4.95)
This account Of the life
and times Of Plus II, an able
Renaissance Pope, points to
the wide divergence in the
aims and purposes Of the
Holy See Of that era and to-
day.
Plus II, poet and scholar,
a man Of the world, who did
not take holy orders until he
was middle-aged, was, unlike
some Of his recent predeces-
sors, a man Of exemplary
piety and sincerity. And yet
the main purpose Of his pom
tificate (1458-1464 was to
unite Christendom in a new
crusade against the Turks,
who recently had captured
Constantinople - In other
words, to raise an army for
q war. The Popes Of today
are. Of course, dedicated to
peace.
Launches Crusade
Plus II called q Congress
at Mantua. inviting all the
kings, princes and dukes Of
Europe to come or send dele
gates. It's main purpose was
to launch a crusade against
the infidels who held land
sacred to Christians. But the
leaders seemed to have had
enough of crusades and of
defeats by more efficient,
better-armed Turkish armies
and they largely snubbed the
congress or sent minor Off
cials as delegates. Plus never
was able to get the new cru
SADIE started, and he felt, in
his final illness, that he had
failed in the mission to
which he was called. But he
was not really a belligerent
man, and once he addressed
an eloquent letter to the
Turkish Sultan Mahomet II,
urging him to consider be-
coming a convert to Chris
tianity. Apparently the Pope
did not realize the deep gulf
between his faith and Islam.
There Is no record that the
Sultan ever read the letter.
Though there already were
serious schisms In the church,
owing partly to its corrup-
ton and partly to the jeal-
ousy Of cardinals and kings,
Luther was not born until
some years after the death
Of Plus II and the Reforma-
ton was not destined until
well into the next century.
Enormous Research
Rosamond Joscelyne
Mitchell, a British scholar,
has based her book on what
must have been enormous
research. Plus, however, left
a helpful record in his own
"Aeneas Sylvius Piccolomini.
Commentaries" q sort of
diary Of his adventures from
his youth on. While her story
Is not always easy reading,
because there Is so much
packed into a comparatively
brief space, she has not left
out any Of the color and
even humor she could find
in those troubled and COM
pick times.
