A BOOK FOR TODAY
Modern CHtiques Series
By DONALD MINTZ

The Southern Illinois Uni
versity Press (CarbOndale) is
issuing what they call "a Sc
ries Of small books in modern
world literature" The formal
is uniform and so is the price:
a modest $3.50 a volume for
moderately well made books
Of about 200 pages.
So far II titles have come
out under the general editor
ship Of Harry T. Moore, a re-
search professor at the uni
versity. Five Of these IRE
leased together) are on hand.
ALI are at about the same
level of specialization. They
do not seek to take on an en-
tire author whole, but limit
themselves to some relatively
broad aspect of his work.
Thus T e mira Pachmuss,
who teaches at the University
of Illinois, calls her book" F.
M. DoStoevsky: Dualism and
Synth e sis Of the Human
Soul" She is interested pri-
marily in the psychological
philosophical system that can
be distilled from DoStoevsky's
work rather than in a study Of
the novelist as a creative art
list.
The appearance Of a book
on DoStoevsky in this series
shows that modern world lit
erature" is defined rather
broadly; In any event, mod
ern" is not used as synony-
nous with Contemporary"
Shaw and the Wits
George B ernard Shaw is
something less than contem-
porary, and he, too, is the
subject Of a volume. The late
Prof. H o m e r Woodbridge of
Wesleyan University calls his
study, George B ernard
Shaw: Creative Artist"
The emphasis is on Shaw as
playwright r a t b er than on
Shaw as thinker or polemiciSt.
Prof. Woodbridge sees Shaw
as swinging between sd o c.
trine and C m e dy," as one
chapter heading puts it. He
pays relatively little attention
to the celebrated prefaces. He
does however indicate t h cir
varying distances fir o m and
relevance to the plays they
accompany, and a number of
instances in which they are
deliberately misleading.
One volume in the series is
devoted to a group Of authors
the oldest of whom was born
in 1917. William Van O'Connor
calls his book ''The New
University Wits and the End
of Modernism" Philip Larkin,
John Vain, Iris Murdoch, and
Kingsley Amis e a n has a
chapter to himself and Robert

Scranton Potential Nominee
By GOULD LINCOLN

The tragic death Of Presi-
dent John ?. Kennedy has
thrown the political situa-
ton into temporary uncer-
tainty for both Democrats
and Republicans - particu-
larry for the COP. It has.
however, catapulted Cover
nor William W. Scranton of
Pennsylvania and Governor
Nelson A. Rockefeller into
the hmelight as strong po-
tential selections for the Re-
publican presidential nomi-
nation Of 1864. And seeming
ly the chances Of front
running Senator Barry Gold
water Of Arizona have been
damaged.
For the Republicans - or
many Of them-believe that
the party's chances Of ma
tional victory next year have
been enhanced. Senator
Goldwater's basic strength in
the election had been
couched in his presumed
ability to carry the Southern
and border States against
the late President Kennedy.
That belief, which many Re-
publicans held, has been
suddenly changed to serious
doubt. If President Lyndon
B. Johnson Texan and
the first Southerner to hold
the White House in almost
a hundred years-is nominat-
ed to succeed himself, as
now expected, Goldwater's
chances in the South become
virtually nil.
battle-ground Shifts
The great battle-ground for
the Republicans seemingly
has changed to the populous
States Of the North, Middle
West and the Pacific Coast.
And two Of those States,
Pennsylvania and New York,
In 1862 elected Republican
governors. Governor Scran-
tons victory in a State in
which the late President Ken
nedy ran 1885 votes ahead
Of his opponent, Richard M.
Nixon was a bit political
turnover. Scranton won with
a lead of 4S3.0OO over his
Democratic opponent, Phila-
delphia Mayor Richardson
Dilworth. Governor Rockefel-
Ter was reelected in 1862 by
a half million votes. AS Of
today, Governor Rockefeller
Is the only announced can
didate for the Republican
presidential nomination.
Governor Scranton, on the
other hand, has said he is
not a candidate and does not
expect to be. His attitude
may now change vitality. IN
til President Kennedy's as
sassination, Governor Scran-
tons preoccupation was to
hold the Republican Party in
Pennsylvania together for
the 1854 campaign and to
keep from a harsh division
over Goldwater and Rookie
Teller. He had won from Gov
ernor Rockefeller an agree

ment not to oppose Penn
sylvania's sending an ''unin-
structed" delegation to the
1854 Republican National
Convention, and hoped to
win q like agreement from
Senator Goldwater. The Arr
iona Senator, still an I'M
announced candidate, is still
holding to his stand that he
has not yet decided whether
to enter the presidential race
or to seek reelection to the
Senate. He must assay his
chances Of victory in q con-
test against President john
son or another Democratic
nominee If there should be
another. The conservatives in
the COP. will urge him to
stay in the race.
Supporters Of @ Governor
Rockefeller for the presiden-
tial nomination feel that his
chances Of victory have in
creased to a large degree
since the death Of President
K ennedy-due to the new
doubt that Goldwater could
carry the South as he might
have done against President
Kennedy. Furthermore, The
New York Governor has been
conducting a strong cam
paign not only for his own
nomination but against the
Kennedy administration and
its policies, a campaign he Is
now expected to redouble. At
the national convention and
later during the election
campaign, Governor Rookie
Teller must overcome opposi-
ton growing out Of his d.
vorce and remarriage. With
out that opposition, the
presidential nomination
might easily have been his
for the asking. Now that the
Republicans are coming to
believe they have a bet
ter chance for victory in the
presidential race, this issue
against the Governor Of New
York is likely to be even
more seriously considered.
Most Available
Should Governor Rockefel-
Ter be counted out of the race
for the presidential nominal
ton and Senator Goldwater
also, the most available man
is Governor Scranton Of the
Keystone State. He Is
young-46 years old. virtual
ly the same age as the late
President Kennedy. While
his experience in public Of
fice-member Of Congress
and governor-has been rela-
lively brief he has shown
himself q winner at the polls.
He also has been a major
success In business.
There may be others consi-
dered for the G. o. P. nomi-
nation, among them Cover
nor George Romney of Mi
chigan. But Romney has had
even less experience as q
governmental officer than
Governor Scranton, and he Is
no more widely known to the
American public.
