A member of the administration advtoed last week that the pr*sl dent would act on the mobilisation i plan "within the month." Other t reliable sources said such moblll- ■ zatlon would mean substantially l the "drafting'' of men ov«r the military service ages or those dei ferred from service for essential i civilian service.

"Never In the fleld of human conffl*! have so many owed so much to so few.” But Mr. Hillary I* not an airman alone. He can write like an angel as well a* fly like one. In "Falling Through Space" he haa not only told his personal story. Jl* ha* given a vivid, completely compelling picture of the impart of war on the individual, particularly those modern knight* whose sword la a plane cleaving the sky. The atory moves swiftly through the days of appeasement and easy complacency to the dramatic blitzkrelg when the reserved British squadron* roared Into action. Many fell through spar*, and one lived to write thia flaming record of the spirit and the philosophy and feeling of this generation of men, who have been holding tbs front lines against the onslaught of the new barbarian*.

FOUR YEARS IN PARADISE Ry Osa Helen Johnson She had married auVenture, and paradise was her destination —so Osa Johnson thought one night on the long safari that was taking her and Martin Into the African blue, to untouched l*ake Pafadlse where no white woman haa ever ventured before. It was the Johnson's most daring enterprise, this elpeditlon into the heart of the elephant country where Martin intended to take a picture of Africa that would be different and authentic—the whole story of the country and Its people and Its animals, slowly unrolling against a background of magnificent scenery. Through all the drama of Africa which make up thia atory—days of burning sun and soaking rain, near brushes of death—this Is a atory of courage and devotion whose hero and heroine were of pioneer Kansas stock and who carried with them through all their varied ex perience an essentially Americas humor and daring.
