out on Roberta's doggedly
single-minded idea Of what
constitutes a husband. The
end result of Arnold's in
capacity is a string Of inf
delities, blackmailings, muir

The book gets off to a mildly
promising start, but it begins
slipping at the first murder,
and from then on it's meller-
drammer all the way.
The dust jacket features
this quotation from Ernest

Capitol Hill
Comes Alive
In Fine Book
THE STORY OF CAPITOL
HILL. BY Paul Heron.


(Coward-McCan $5)
Because Americans seem to
be increasingly interested in
their Capital City and what
goes on here Qook at the un-
ending flood Of novels,
movies, plays and magazine
articles about Washington
a well-researched book like
this should be very welcome.
In the pursuit of thorough
ness, Mr.. Heron has not
neglected to be entertaining.
A good story-teller, he laces
his book with one anecdote
after another. Washington
ans can find some choice
ones here with which to as
toniSh their country cousins
when they come visiting.
There are chapters on the
early days of the Hill, on the
Capitol itself, on the Library
of Congress, the Folger Lii
brary, Union Station and the
Navy Yard, others on Capitol
Hill homes and churches and
one on contemporary Capitol
Hill society which analyses
so subtly and so well some Of
its misplaced pretensions
that it is sure to irritate a
lot of Hill residents. Others
may find it the most delight
full part of the book. There
also is an informative COM
pilation of tips for the tour
ist who wants to see Wash
ton in a few days.
The book is illustrated with
81 photographs and drawings
Of Capitol Hill buildings past
and present. These would
have been more effective If
they had been made larger
and placed appropriately
throughout the book instead
of being gathered at one
place. The text is what is
important, however, and its
grace and wit should win the
book a place on many WASH
ington bookshelves.

Shanghai Is
Setting for
Tense Novel
BORN WITH THE DEAD. BY

DOASAN W. - AAAN DA@@AN' ~
Trina Kirk. (Houghton
Mifflin; S4.)
The setting of this absorb
ing first novel is Shanghai
between 1881 and 1945 - a
city used from time i'm
memorial to destitution and
governmental corruption and
fought over in the inceSsant
battles of the warlords, but
gradually taken over in the
period depicted by the Jap
anese and torn apart finally
in the turbulence Of the
Second World War.
Mrs. Kirk. who was born
in Manchuria Of White Rus
sian parents and brought up
in Shanghai during the years
she describes, now is working
for a Ph.D. at the University
Of Indiana. Her principal
characters are a White Rus
sian family and some Of their
friends, exiled in Shanghai.
Gen. Fedorov, caretaker at
a cemetery, and his widowed
daughter, Tamara, and her
adolescent son. lived in a
house on the edge Of the
graveyard. The general and
other exiled officers Of the
old imperial army lived on
futile dreams Of overthrow
ing the Communists and go
ing back to the old life.
The story is told through
the eyes of a young American
newspaperman who in the
'30S worked for an English
paper in Shanghai. He was
thrown with the Fedorov
family and fell IN love with
TIA ara. The attractive
widow returned his love, in
a way. and yet she was a
battling young woman whose
strangeness increased as the
years of japanese occupation
went on. The American, to
escape an internment camp,
finally went TO live with the
Russian family, learned TO
speak Russian and was pro-
vided with a forged passport.
The narrative device is not
altogether successful, for the
American journalist is not as
persuasive as the other
characters, and yet he en-
ables us to look more objec-
lively at the displaced Rus
slams, who are wildly
portrayed. Altogether It's a
memorable picture Of the
spiritual isolation OF dis
placed people anywhere.

"The Yoke" for instance,
by Faustino Gonzalez-Aller
of Cuba is an excruciating
study of the fate Of men at

wrongs. A group of political
prisoners is awaiting execu-

hands of a loathsome local
storekeeper, for having Or
ganized a peaceful strike at
the tin mines. Mr.. Gonzalez
Aller describes the men in
their last moments, then
moves into a suspenseful
narrative of the delivery Of
the storekeeper's gentle wife,
who is as oppressed as the
prisoners. The suspense, and
the power of the story is al
most unbearable.
"The Cause" by Haroldo

makes 1t plain why Latin
Americans are so slow to
hope that any order can be
