Returning to London after
three years as q novice in a
Carthusian monastery, Mat
thew Garrard finds it under
standably difficult to merge
comfortably into his former
pattern Of existence. In his
effort to re-establish his
identity Gerard exerts a more
powerful influence than he
realizes on the lives of people
around him: His former mis-
tress, his parents, an old
school friend, a new fellow
worker who was once a priest.
In the end Garrard himself,
essentially a weaker charac-
ter than the others, has
changed more than any Of
them.
This is an ambitiously con-
ceived and well executed first
novel Of which certain mo-
ments and relationships re-
main in the mind with chill
ing completeness long after
it has been read. Mr.. Cud-
don's handling Of the crises
that continually arise be-
tween Garrard's parents is
masterful. The only segment
Of plot that seems a bit more
novelistic than necessary is
the spiritual development Of
the hero's friend. Lipscomb.
He balances the others too
neatly. But this Is petty carp

not as elegant as Proust---
has opposed with great skill
the snobbery Of Southamp-
ton (the world Of Elizabeth
Webster Appleton to the
snobbery of a small college
town (the world Of John
Appleton. her professor hus-
band). This Is comparable
to bringing together the two
halves Of an atomic bomb.
The book ranges through
the '30s and '40s, and,
while o'Hara doesn't do for
these decades what F. Scott
Fitzgerald did for the '20s,
his snapshots-of campuses,
cads, conflict, hate, jeal-
ousy. disappointments, tri-
umphs, and busy beds-are
all as enamel-bright as a
Technicolor movie, which is
exactly what the book is
sure to become.
Appalling Omission
One thing more. Apparent
ly O'Hara-or his sales-con-
scious publisher - suddenly
realized, two-thirds Of the
way through the manuscript,
that the only four-letter
word prominently appearing
in it was the first name Of
Mrs. John Appleton's hus-
band. An appalling omissionI
So-better late than never

sprinkled over pages 219,
221, 222, 223, and 239, with
enormously boring effect.
Much more startling, sty-
listically, is the fact that, at
about this same point in his
story, O'Hara begins to use
a four-letter word rarely
found in modern, sophisti-
Gated writing. The word

A Sexual Magnet
One way to put it is to
say that the novel vibrates
at the core of q magnetic

in the book is connected with
every other point by high

ing away from, or toward,

scenes.
But the author describes
his formula much better in a
statement he makes about
his heroine, who, mother of
two children and married to
a man she loves, is neverthe-
less reveling in a long af-
fair: "She was living in a
state of excited anticipation,
from meeting to meeting"
So, too, of course, the reader.
This is basic - but there
is a lot more to the book.

Ten years ago this month,
Julius and Ethel Rosenberg
were put to death in the

to give the secret of the

Judge Kaufman, who i'm
posed the sentence, blamed
them for the Korean War.
President Eisenhower refused
clemency. The Supreme Court
seven times let the sentence
stand.
The final Supreme Court
ruling vacated a last minute
stay granted by Justice
Douglas and affirmed the
legality of the death sentence
at a special session only
hours before the couples ex-
ecution. But drawn-out ap-
peals had made the couple
the first native Americans
ever to receive the death
penalty for espionage-mar-
tyrs, especially among some
Europeans. In Paris, police
wounded one man and jailed
400 others in quelling a
riotous assault on the Amer
lean Embassy as the execu-
ton neared. Over 1000
marchers disrupted London
traffic.
Death Closed Case

crowds jammed parks in
Washington, New York and
other cities. In the emotion
