MANDATE FOR CHANGE.

MANDATE FOR CHANGE.
BY Dwight D. Eisenhower.
Doubleday & Co.; 1851
Some presidential memoirs
read Like a prosecutors in
dictment Of the enemies Of the
state. Others have the lugubri-
Gus qualities Of a defendant
appealing the judgment Of his
tory.
Former President EisenhoW-
er's chronicle Of his nominal
ton, election and first term in
office is neither whining nor
boaStful, vindictive nor apollo
getic. 1t is, instead, the curl
OuSly impersonal narrative Of
four interesting, but not par
ticularly enjoyable, years in
the life of an enormously Ik-
able American who Just hap
pened to find himself PreSi-
dent Of his country.
Mandate for Change" is IL
Eliminated on almost every
page by the genuine modesty
and reticence of its author.
But reticence is not an ideal
quality in a historian, much
less a memoirist. This vol
ume, l fear, will be a disap-
pointment to those who ap-
proach it seeking new insights
into the era through which we
have just lived.
The Generals purpose, he
says, is to tell "the American
people, who gave me the
priceless privilege Of serving
them in the presidency /.

why" The emphasis is more
what" than why"
Familiar Ground
In concentrating on a recital
of the major events Of his po-
litical and public career from
1851 through 1856, Gen.
Eisenhower necessarily re-
traces some very familiar
ground. Unlike his great
friend, Sir Winston Churchill,
he lacks the sense Of history
and the literary style that can
lift the narrative to epic pro-
portions.
There are, to be sure, some
interesting new disclosures in
these memoirs. Gen. Eisen-
hover reports that he was
sounded on his political
plans by President Truman in

WHEN THE WORD I.

GIVEN. BY Louis E. Lomax.
(World Publishing Co.;
1885,
When Malcolm x, the apos-
tie of the Black Muslin move
ment, exhorts his followers
against the white devils" the
audience keeps responding
make it plain, Minister,
make 1t plain"
Louis Lomax, one of the
best-known Negro writer's,
tries in his new book to make
it plain to the white man.
For four years he studied
the Muslims, attending their
meetings and interviewing
their leaders. His book is a
review of the Muslin teach
ingS and an analysis Of their
appeal to Negroes. 1t also is a
warning to the whites to
come to grips with the evils
that spawned the MuSlimS" or
face the consequences.
The Message
The Black Muslin S, he
says, have but one message:
"The white man is by nature
evil, a snake who is incapa-
BILE of doing right, a devil
who is soon to be destroyed.
Therefore, the black man,
who is by nature divine and
good, must separate from the
white man as soon as posi-
BILE, lest he share the white
mans hour of total destruc-
tion."
Chilling though it may be,
the Black Muslims have
erected their teaching on a
group experience common to
all American Negroes" says
the author. ''Few of us concur
in their conviction and SEN
fencing of the white race. But
none of us can question the
accuracy of the indictment on
which the conviction rests"
A Holding Operation
The Muslin dilemma, Mr..
Lomax says, is that they must
oppose everything tinged by
integration yet seek accept
ance among the black masses
who are pressing now for a
fuller involvement In the
mainStream Of American life.
He expects the MuslimS to
become more political and to
effect an accommodation with
the Negro Indignation move
ment. This, however, he sees
as a holding operation"
while they wait for Indignation
to fail.
If the indignation movement
fails, the MuslimS will say
1--WE told you so" and will
''sound the bugle for the Bat
tie of Armageddon," Mr.. Lo-
max writes.

Roosevelt
On Sufuri
A SENTIMENTAL SAFAR

n O1AN A4NAAlAN al ofhE nANAs
By Kermit Roosevelt.
(Knopf; $3.50
Kermit Roosevelt, a grand
son of President Theodore
Roosevelt, describes wildly
and with an accumulation of
Informative reflections the At
rican safari in which he and
his sons, Jonathan and Ker-
NIT, jr., in 1860 retraced the
ground which the former
President covered in his ia
nous big-game hunt Of so
years before.
TR Gas the author refers to
him throughout the book, to
distinguish him from the var
ious other Roosevelts in
volved) started on his safari
just after leaving the White
House in 1909. He Travelled by
ship, railroad a way, then by
horseback with wagons carry
ing supplies when feasible.
The journey from east Africa
through the interior to the
Nile took 10 months. Kermit
Roosevelt's party Travelled in
jets to Africa, then rode in
Landowners and other motor
vehicles. They made the same
distance in a month.
A Different Africa
Naturally the country had
changed-its nationalistic fer
ments hardly heard of in
Theodore Roosevelt's time
and its game supplies had
greatly diminished. NOnethe-
less, Kermit Roosevelt found
traces of his grandfather's
Safari here and there, even
talked to a few persons who
remembered the indefatiga-
BILE TR. The ex-President'S
"African Game Trails" was
the bible Of the new safari. AL.
together, Kermit Roosevelt
felt that the expedition had
enabled him for the first time
really to know his grand
father, who died when he was
3 years old.
1t would be a mistake
to think that this book
is only about rifles and hunt
ing. Actually the Kermit Roo
sevelt party shot very little
game and that mostly the
deer-and antelope-l ike ami
mails with strange names
which provided the c a mps
with meat and a few larger
animals which the Smithsoni-
an Institution wanted as
mounted specimens. Kermit,
jr., in fact, confined most of
his efforts to photography,
though he did shoot a leopard.
Game Depletion
The author, after talking to
a number Of authorities, in
GLIDING naturalists, concluded
that hunters are only in small
part responsible for the deple-
ton Of game. Cultivation of
lands which once belonged to
the animals, driving them
into often arid regions without
adequate food, and animal
diseases, have played a major
role. In some areas, such as
Kenya, lions and rhinos are
greatly depleted, so are chez
tab, wild dog, lynx (caracal),
roam antelope and sable, the
latter practically extinct.
What is the most dangerous
animal to man? The author
reports the buffalo, according
to the consensus of those he
consulted, with the elephant
close behind. The lion, in
present thinking, is down the
list a way, although Teddy
Roosevelt, who shot a good
many lions, thought them the
greatest menace, as did
others in that era.
Kermit Roosevelt is a resi-
dent of Washington and has
been identified with the Capt.
tai many years. He was a
conSultant to the Secretary of
State from 1947 to 1857 and at
present is a vice president of
the Gulf Oil Corp.

printing Of a volume Of his
poems) some pornographic
novels (the excellence Of
which is attested to both by
Francis Steegmuller, the
present biographer, and my
friend Jean-Pierre Marty. But
all the jobs we're so sporadic
and inconsequential that you
wonder how Apollinaire could
afford to live, buy aperitifs,
overcoats, trips to England to
persuade a nice girl who
knew nothing Of poetry to
marry him. But come to think
of it how did any of the artists
and writers during the three
great modern periods Of Pari-
sian creativeneSS-the era of
Apollinaire and PicaSso be-
fore the First World War, of
Hemingway and Joyce after
1t, and Sartre and Genet
now-earn their bread?
Then consider ApoIIinaire
and society. When he was
alive in 1911 he was thought a
likely suspect as the thief who
had pinched the Mona Lisa
from the Louvre, and after
his death, though here In the
United States we could not be-
ieve that such as he could
generate popular enthusiasm
when only one man In a
thousand would presume to
read what he had written, a
street In Paris was named
after him. Here in Washing
ton, while what with the acco-
lade Of the White House and
his great age, it would not be
too astonishing to find a street
called Robert Frost Boule-
ward, can one really imagine
an e.e. cummings Avenue?
-
We read in the New York
Times a month or so ago Mr..
Steegmuller's story of finding
in a suburb of Westchester,
New York, living with her
sister who keeps a dog ken
nels, Annie Playden, Apolli-
naire's Beatrice, his Laura,
who after inspiring him in
1904 to write one Of the great
love poems of our time, LA
Chanson du Mal-Aime" from
the collection "Alcools," eff
fectively and conclusively es-
capped from her lover to Cali
fornia. At that time, we did
not know that the piece was a
chapter Of a book soon to be
published. But now Mr.. Steeg-
muller. has published an en-
tire life Of the poet, and
though Cecily Mackworth's,
which appeared earlier this
year, at the time seemed very
good, by comparison it is in
ferior to Steegmuller in fact,
appraisal, and style.
Apollinaire was born in
Rome Of a Polish noblewoman
and one of two fathers-either
the grandson of L'Aiglon, Ma
p0leon'S son, or a high official
in the Vatican. PicaSso wittily
suggested a possible papa in
one of his Apollinaire pictures
by having the subject wear a
mitre and a wristwatch. In
any event, his paternity was
so intriguing that Apollinaire,
who in all probability was a
wise child, never acceded to
public curiosity enough to
confirm any vital statistics.
He grew up not in Italy but
in Monte Carlo where his
mother was a courtesan. Her
profession led to an order for
her deportation, but the chiv-
alrous Monegasques did not
carry it out, and until he was
10 young Apollinaire received
an excellent classical educa-
ton in a church school, SubSi-

AGO, by the gaming tables.
His mother married, and
the family went first to Bel
GUM and, in 1899, to Paris.
Apollinaire was by this time
devoting himself to poetry,
but in Paris, where he be-
came close friends with Pr
caSso, Max Jacob, and many
other young artists and writ
ers, he first established a rep
utation, not as a poet, but as
a spokesman for and expOSi-
tor Of the new art, cubism.
Mr.. Steegmuller m a kes a
case, bolStered by several of
the painters involved who are
still living, that Apollinaire
never was a good critic, that
he had little eye for the visual
arts, but that he was a great
populizer, and like many mu-
sic critics of the present day,
had the mack of making the
public see in the art he dis
cuSsed what neither the artist
nor any diSinterested and I'M
coached individual could see
or hear for himself.
- -
However, VIII atever his
capabilities as art critic,
there is no doubt that from
the first Apollinaire was a
poet Of a very high order. His
first volume Of poems, "Le
BeStiaire, on Cortege dor
phee," illustrated by Raoul
Duffy, and known in this coun-
try today, even by those who
do not speak French, in their
musical setting by Poulenc,
was followed by his great col
lection, "Alcools," which con-
tains, besides la Chanson du
Mal-Aime" alre a dy men,
toned, lie Pont Mirabeau,"
one OF the perfect lyrics Of
poetry:
Sous L pont Mirabeau couie la Seine
ct nos amours
Faut-n Gull men souvienne
La ioie venait toujours apres Ia pelns
Les jours SEN WON'T SOf' ,e N dsmeurs
In 1911 Apollinaire was &C.
cused of stealing the Mona
Lisa from the Louvre, and
spent a few days in prison. He
was not otherwise involved in
the theft the story of which l
cannot summarize here, for
its interest lies in its details
which are numerous and tor
tuous. This episode in Mr..
Steegmuller's book, drawn
largely from contemporary
newspaper and magazine ac-
counts, is a humorous and
gripping tale Of mystery and
crime, and reading it one is
astonished that when the
Mona Lisa was recently in
this country the papers devot-
ed column after column to
how the picture liked her
Stateroom on the France,
Howard Johnson's on the New
Jerse y turnpike, her body
guard of United States Ma
rines, and Suchlike trivia, but
few, if any, to a full account
of the greatest k dnaping
since the rape of Europa.
When the war broke out
Apollinaire volunteered en-
Enthusiastically and served with
distinction. He was wounded
in the head by shrapnel, and
although, he recovered, his
constitution was badly weak
ened, and he died suddenly
two days before the armistice.
His mother, reading the
obituaries was pleased to dis
cover that her son was highly
regarded as a poet. Pleased
and surprised, for hitherto
she had believed that her
literary son was Apollinaire's
younger brother who wrote a
financial column in Mexico
City.

contain pop and are always good
to drink, Medicines should be in

Even a medicine such as aspirin,
which is safe for most people, can
be very dangerous if too much is
taken at one time. A child can
