other about his successor,

A MAN NAMED JOHN (Haw-
thorn; $4.95) is the story of
probably the most beloved
Pope ever to occupy the chair
of st. Peter. The last chapter,
written shortly after the death
of John XIII, summarizes
the achievements of Angelo
Roncalli, not the least being
the tremendous affection peo-
pie of practically all religions
had for him.
It was quite natural that
the curiosity of the world
regarding the successor of
Pope John should eliminate
in a biography of Pope Paul.

FDR. BY Robert D. Graft
and Robert Emmett CHINA.
Text by Roger Butterfield.
(Harper & Row; SOD
Franklin Delano Roosevelt,
the first President to serve
four consecutive terms in the
White House, introduced a
new and closer relationship
between the American people
and their Government. His
leadership among the allies
during the Second World War
made him a worldwide fig
ure.
Immediately after Pearl
H arbor, Roger Butterfield
says in his text for the book,
the people wanted to rush
into the Pacific and slap the
Jap with all they had" Of
ROOSevelt's decision to con-
centrate strategic attention on
Europe first, Eisenhower is
quoted as writing later: $50

(thiS decision) has never been
questioned by any real stu

Included in the text are
interviews with the late Flea
nor Roosevelt about her hus-
band which give fresh insight
into his personality.
The text, Informative as it
is, only accompanies, how

photographs, collected by
Robert D. Graft and Robert

the entire span of RooSevelt's
life. Many of them, accord

vorce. His argument
was that his marriage with
his brothers. widow was I'M
lawful"
Moreover, English his
torianS have been prone to
see the reigns of Philip and
Elizabeth as a struggle be-
tween two strong PERSONAL
ties, and that after the Arma-
da the downfall Of Philip and
his empire was swift. This is
a double-barreled untruth.
True, the loss at sea was an
embarrassment to Spain, but
it was not a collapse of pow
er. The war b etwe en- two
countries lasted another 16
years and was a Standoff.
Rich Treasury
In an age when information
al credit was unheard Of,
even in what was later to be-
come Switzerland, Spain con-
trolled the world gold and sill
yer market. In 1893 it was es-
timated that the existing hard
money floating around Europe
amounted only to 500 million,
whereas between that year
and 1886, Spain drained $3.50
million from the Americas
and Africa.
In addition. the British biog-
rapher points out that there
is a miSconception that Phil
ip's war with England was a
religious one and that, accord
ingly, he played a secondary
and subservient role to the
Vatican. Petrie says this is
incorrect. Philips wars were
strictly power grabs or else
an attempt to m a in t a i n
SPANS balance Of power.
Aims of Conquest
Spain's troubles at this time
were her attempts to colonize
Latin and part of North Amer
lea, keep France at bay,
nail down the Netherlands,
fight off the Turks, buoy the
Austrian HapSburgs and chal-
lenge the English for the mas
terry of the seas.
If European history is your
cup of tea, read this book. 1t
has flavor and not too much
sugar.

PHILIP II OF SPAIN. By Sil

PHILIP II OF SPAIN. BY Sir
Charles Petrie. wv. W. Nor
ton & Co.; $500
This is a most readable
biography.
1t is scholarly, yet has a
fluid writing style that one
does not always associate
with historians and biogra-
piers, who often are too
wrapped up in skein of facts
and dates to learn how to
write with style.
To begin with, Sir Charles
Petrie has a fascinating char
acter to delineate. This is the
first book of Philip II to ap-
pear in more than 80 years. 1t
should 60 down as a standard,
if somewhat truncated, text
on a figure who dominated
most of the then-diScovered
world. Philip considered him
self the equal Of the Pope and
powerwise he was more to be
feared.
Blasts Misconceptions
Petrie shotguns a flock of
misconceptions set in flight by
earlier English historians and
biographerS with regard to
SIP a in and her relationship
with England.
Philips empire-and it
spread from the Low Coun-
tries to the Philippines, from
the Two SicilieS to the Ameri-
cas-was vastly superior to
England. At the time of the
Spanish Kings early rule,
Great Britain was disunited,
for Scotland was a separate
kingdom and Ireland was al
ways a source of volatile dan
ger.

For example, it is thought
that Henry VIII divorc e d
Catherine (of SPAIN because
he wanted to marry Anne Bo-
leyn, and when the Pope said
in effect, may naughty Hen

A RELATIVE MATTER
India Prince Cites Poverty

BOMBAY, India, Jan. 9 (AP).
The Nizam of Hyderabad,
once reckoned one of worlds
richest men, accepted a money
order for one piasa sent by a
Bombay girl to assist him in
his current financial distress"
(The piasa is worth about one
fifth of a United States cent?
And it was reported from
Hyderabad that the Nizam's
office had begun to accept such
remittances from all over India
after returning many to
senders earlier.
Token and ironic remittances

He lost control in l948 when

France ENDING
Tax Dispute
With Monaco

MONTE CARLO, Jan. 8 (AP)
French and Monacan officials
repeatedly will agree in Paris
tomorrow to end the 10-month
tax dispute that has ruffled the
calm of this Riviera haven from
taxes.
Informed sources said the
agreement will continue much
of Monaco's privileged tax sit
uation but will close many
loopholes.
French authorities, who con-
slider the 370-acre principality
a haven for tax dodgers, have
been trying for 10 months to
pressure Monaco into aligning
its tax system with that of
France.
Monacans don't deny the
Franch charge. They just
phrase it differently. They say
that one of Monaco's most en-
dearing attractions have been
its lack of income taxes on
corporations and individuals.
They proclaim proudly that
Monaco doesn't need the money.
Breakdown in Talks
With the French seeking to
eliminate Monaco's status as a
tax-free refuge in a tax-bound
world, and Prince Rainier III
zealously guarding Monaco's
sovereignty, negotiations be-
tween the two countries browe
down in october. But Prince

Rainier said at the time agree
ment had been reached on basic
principles.
Sources here said tomorrow's
agreement will continue to
spare Monaco's citizens (there
are about 1000 in a population
of $4,000 from paying income
taxes. French citizens who have
resided in Monaco five years
or more will continue to be
exempt from French taxes.
Corporation and commercial
enterprises will be required to
pay the same types of taxes
imposed in France. But the
rates will be lower in Monaco
and they will take effect over
a period of several years.
Gentle Pressure Used
Throughout the dispute,
neither side has resorted to
anything stronger than gentle
pressure, discreet silence and
feigned indifference. There
have been few visible signs of
conflict.
Mail to Monaco has had to
carry international postage
double the French internal
rate.
A handful Of French customs
inspectors and bored police
have showed up most days at
the border for a few hours of
customs checks on cars leaving
the principality. Their checks
have been polite, perfunctory
an dspeedy. So far as is known
no smugglers have been
trapped.
