OF SfAES AND SIhAIA-

Lowell. prentice Hall;
$3.95.)
Mr.. Lovell's tales bring
back the glamour of World
War IFS Office Of Strategic
Services. The winner Of the
Presidential Medal of Merit
and the director Of research
and development for the
OSS, Mr.. Lowell tells a series
of unconnected but fascinat-
ing stories of sabotage and
espionage. The 72-year-old
inventor says he is publishing
the book now because in 1943
he agreed not to reveal some
Of these stories for 20 years.
One Of these secrets, he
says, is that the United States
was ready to use poison gas
in the 1914 landing on Two
Jima until President Roo
sevelt, in the midst Of his
fourth Presidential campaign,
vetoed the suggestion. Mr..
Lowell says use of the gas
would have reduced our Two
Jima casualties from 10000
men to none. He points out
that not all poison gas need
be lethal. "It may be far
smarter" he says, Ito use a
gas that bewilders him (the
enemy so that, for an hour
or more, he simply can't
think"
New War Techniques
Mr.. Lowell feels that World
War II represents an his
torical change In the official
American attitude toward war
and argues that the use of
subtle and devious devices at
that time marked a switch
from what he feels was our
previously orthodox posture
of only sending in troops with
guns blazing.
However, to say that un-
orthodox war schemes are
new in American history is to
forget the British objections
in ITS to our Indian type of
sniper shooting during the
Revolutionary War. The ad-
vancing technology in World
War II permitted more elab-
crate unorthodox schemes
than had been previously
available, but Americans had
conducted subtle warfare be-
fore 1941.
Mr.. Lowell concludes with a
plea for a "far more expert"
intelligence service than we
have now.

that great city, its society, its
claret and port, its witty
ladies, its whoreS, and Sam

tice complained that my con-

rational, but merely childish
nonsense. It is not easy to
give a distinct specimen of
that puerile jocularity in

at home. The reason of it
may be partly indolencc. to
avoid thought; partly be-
cause my wife, though she
has excellent sense and a
cheerful temper, has not
sentiments congenial with
mine. She has no superSti-
ton, no enthusiasm, no van
ity; so that to be free of a
diSagreeable contrariety, I
may be glad to keep good
humour in my mind by fool

should be added, is less fond
Of the pleasures Of marriage

endless delight to see Bos-

of "concubinage," and con-
