AMERICAN. BY Frederic
Fox. Macmillan; $3.50
From special assistant to
President Eisenhower in the
White House to teaching a
class of natives in steaming
Africa is a long jump. But
Frederic Fox, a young Con-
gregational minister, has
made the transition quietly,
with determination and with
a saving grace of humor.
These qualities come un-
obtrusively to the fore as he
relates his trials and modest
triumphs in teaching four
teen key natiVes how to read
and write.
This book is their story in
the effort to achieve literacy.
Each chapter opens with a
students autobiography, un-
touched. These are revealing
statements, not only of the
individual but of his view Of
the white man. Mr.. Fox fills
out the chapter with more
detailed accounts of the stu
dent, told compassionately
and with a subtle humor.
Most intriguing is Mr..
Fox's use Of cartoons from

outrageously candid, al
though when compared with
such recent confessions as
for instance, Virgilia Peter
sons memoirs, she seems a
model of Victorian -Edwar-
dian discretion.
She surely reveals no Sc
crets of the public service OF
her husband. She was an
indefatigable hostess, note
writer and meddler. Her
early romance with Peter
Flower, a charming ne'er-do-
well who rode as well as she
did, is described with great
liveliness and poignance. 1t
was a time of "scrapes," and
they had their share.
The EgOtist
Like many egotists, she can
write with great power of
emotional scenes in which
she was deeply involved. Her
description of the death Of
her beloved sister Laura, who
died in childbirth at %, is
deeply affecting. She can
also re-create the excitement
of the hunting-field And
she can describe herself. Here
is a line from a character
sketch she did in 1906. can

triumphant youth; a lot of
love-making and little abuse;
a little fame and more abuse;
a real man and great happi-
ness; the love of children and
seventh heaven; an early
death and a crowded me-
mortal service"
The interest of the book
falls off slightly when she
devotes herself to a re-crea-
ton of historical and polit-
ical events. She is unchar-
acteristically close-mouthed
in these passages. But her
pictures of herself, breaking
hearts and horses, sure OF
herself and of her own and
her country's empire, are
well worth looking at again

The British have bought
six Polaris-type missile sub

This is probably the most
unbelievable part of the book,

tices being what they are. At
any event, one of these nu-
clear subs is on a Baltic Sea
cruise when its captain,
plagued by self-doubts and
his wife trouble, starts to go

The story line is directed
to the strategy followed by

depended on no mere man for

With Words
THE IRON CURTAIN

THE IRON Gu RTAIN:
Where Freedoms Often
sive Begins. BY Harry and
Bonaro Overstreet. Nor
ton; $4.50.)
At the close of this-their
third book on communism
the Overstreets propose Q
worldwide effort to focus
attention on the Iron Cur
tain. Since the Communists
are known to be defensive
about the barbed wire and
Berlin walls that surround
their "big corral"-the Over
streets phrase for the Sino-
Soviet bloc-the Overstreets
believe the campaign might
chalk up successive small
victories for freedom"
The idea is not a bad one.
Who knows what effect it
might have on Mr.. Khru-
shchev if every time Soviet
officials met foreigners, they
were asked: What about
that wall in Berlin, and why
can't your people travel more
freely?" He might then take
down the wall. Or, as might
also happen, he might order
the officials to stop seeing
foreigners.
AS the proposal indicates,
most of the book is a polemic
against communism, and es-
pecially against the cruel So
Wet efforts to restrict per-
sonal freedom. The Over
streets insight into the con-
slant fight between the party
bureaucrats and the creative
artists is particularly timely
in light of recent events in
Moscow.
Obviously written for the
popular market. the book will
have little appeal for any
one with a serious interest in
Communist affairs. Most OF
the ground covered by the
Overstreets has been well in
vestigated by other authors

/ his conclusions to affirm un-
necessary for the conduct
of our affairs"
"The notion of the benefi-
cent inevitability of gradu-
al progress" which under
lies Madison's scheme Of
checks and balances, is sim
ply not adequate for today's
rapidly changing world, he
says.
His remedy is deliberately
to tip the balance of power
in the favor of the presi-
Dental parties.
So far as the loyal OPP
position is concerned, I find
Mr.. Burns wholly persuasive.
The need for a strength
ened national voice for the
party that loses the White
House is, if anything, more
urgent than Mr.. Burns sug-
gests.
But his main concern is
with the party in power. To
end the deadlock" he says,
the Senate must be forced to
give up its filibuster; the
House, its Rules Committee
veto; and both branches,
the seniority system. The
States must yield control of
Federal election machinery
to the Federal Government,
which must end restrictions
on voting, abolish gerryman-
dering and single-party dis
tricts. The two-term limit
on the presidency should be
repealed, the electoral col
lege modified or eliminated
and representatives elected
for four year terms coincid-
ent with the Presidents.
Sweeping Program
Unless President Kennedy
is willing to undertake the
battle for such reforms, says
his biographer and friend,
he will have to face "the
one charge he could not
bear that he would not
govern"
1t is a sweeping program
he suggests and even one
who shares his belief in a
strong President can wonder
if all of it is necessary.
Mr.. Burns repeated ref
erences to deadlock" should
not blind us to the fact
that the four-party sys-
tenn has not prevented this
Nation from meeting heavy
responsibilities in the world
without wholly ignoring its
needs at home.
Takes Fighting Spirit
In particular, I believe he
underestimates the willing
ness of the congressional
parties to accommodate the
President in matters oi
foreign policy and national
security - two areas that
cover an increasing portion
of governmental authority
Having yielded so much In
those areas, the congress
Sional parties are perhap:
we'll justified in guarding
their rights in the remain
ing domestic fields.
Finally, though he discus.
ses the potential for strong
presidential leadership in thC
existing political system
Mr.. Burns seems undulI
skeptical Of what can be &C
complished. Here, I suspect
Mr.. Kennedy's performance
will in time prove his biogra-
piers pessimism unfounded
The President has been il
office only two years to-
day; yet, in that time, N
has demonstrated a trul.
Jeffersonian talent for seiz
ing party leadership-in tn,
precincts and on Capitol Hill
I would venture the CUES
that Mr.. Burns inevitabl
book on the Kennedy presi
dency-a treat worth antici
pating-will report that MI
Kennedy did not overthrow
Madison's system, but prove,
it workable.
