“THE SHORE DIMLY SEEN." By Ellis Gibbs Arnall. Philadelphia,

Lippincott, $3.

ELLIS GIBBS ARNALL, governor of Georgia, is 30 years old. When he retires from office Jan. 1 he will have served four years. He was 26 when he entered the Georgia house of representatives and 32 wheh he became attorney general of the state. ! He has become identified with courageous and humane measures, * alleviating the browbeating of the Negro, lowering the voting age to 18,

the poll tax, modernizing the state university and the penal system and stopping the ku klux in its tracks. He put & new meaning on state’s rights, when he declared that it meant assuming obligation and responsibilities. The youthful-looking governor of Georgia is not through. He may ted in the state house, ‘but he leads an alert band of young Democrats in Georgia. His book, “The Shore Dimly Seen,” is a statement of his political faith and intentions. » ”

The office was an expensive one to hold, and he wished to return to Hyde Park and rest. What did the people think? " “‘They would like for you to stay in office, Mr. President,’ I told him,

Roosevelt. If so, the President was not as frank with him as he was with Governor Arnall, for the latter relates that after discarding other possibilities the President said: “There is Jimmy Byrnes, who is a good man and a good friend, but I have talked with some of the outstanding Catholics of the country about Jimmy, because he was reared in the Catholic church and became a Protestant. “They have no prejudices themselves, but they believe that his

Poems Relate Sacred Story

"THE STORY OF JESUS IN THE WORLD'S LITERATURE" Edited by Edward Wagenknecht. With illustrations by Fritz Kredel. New York, Creative Age Press, Inc., $5.

By SEXSON E. HUMPHREYS IN A FEW WEEKS numerous people are going to be seeking new Christmas stories or poems for use in Christmas programs at churches, clubs or home, Of the little known poems, it would be hard to find a better one than Alice Meynell's “Unto Us a Son is Given.” Of less known stories, few are as appropriate as John Haynes Holmes' “The Second Christmas.” Both these items are in the new anthology, “The Story of Jesus in the World's Literature.”

n » » THERE ARE familiar items, too —like Van Dyke's “The Other Wise Man"—but most of the material is a fresh discovery to most readers. The usefulness of the book will not be finished with the end of the Christmas season. It has excellent selections from literature regarding all the periods of Christ's life. Among the outstanding pieces are

He advocates long-range economic planning on a regional basis, and federal investment in selfliquidating projects. » ” ” GOVERNOR ARNALL was the first to get a definite statement about the fourth term from President Roosevelt. He describes his ‘White House interview thus: * ‘Mr. President, you helped me a great deal in my campaign in 1042, with advice and by talking with some of your friends in my behalf. This is a national election year, and I would like to do what I can for you. Are you planning to make the race for a fourth term for President?’ “He did not reply directly. In-| stead he spoke of Hyde Park and| of his occupation as a grower of Christmas trees. It was, a somewhat unusual crop, but a profitable one, and did not impoverish the land, he observed. # » » ’ “‘Mr. President, the first time you invited me to visit you at Warm Springs, you told me about the Christmas trees at Hyde Park,

‘NATIVE FASCISM'— Hate Plot Pattern in

U. S. Bared

"THE PLOTTERS." By John Roy Carlson. New York, Dutton, $3.50.

By RICHARD LEWIS EXPOSE journalism’s newest: development is John Roy Carlson’s second report on the nether world of hate organizations, “The Plotters.” It takes up where his first report, “Under Cover” (1943) left off. Where “Under Cover” exposed some of the people trying to sell Hitler to America, “The Plotters” goes into the post-war period to reveal a new pattern of native U, 8S. fascism and the way it works. The appearance, of the book has been accompanied by lightnings and thunders, from the right, which denounces the reporter as America’s greatest liar, and from the left,

which hails him as the nation’s most important reporter.

» » ” YOU PAY your money and you take your choice. I will pass on

this estimate of Mr. Carlson by O. ‘John Rogge, the ex-assistant U. 8. attorney general who was fired last month from the justice department for revealing his own investigations of Fascist manipulation in this country. Mr. Rogge told the Indianapolis Kiwanis club Wednesday that in his opinion Mr. Carlson is “head and shoulders above any other private investigator in America.” “We have found him accurate,” Mr. Rogge said. Mr. Rogge is also doing a book on fascism for which three New York publishing firms are bidding. Presumably, he knows the score.

» » » “THE PLOTTERS” is the most up-to-date, comprehensive job on what's cooking over the fires of hate and intolerance to be published since the end of the war. It covers both the Fascists and:the Communists. Like Mr. Rogge, Mr. Carlson emphasijzes his belief that the tendency of Americans to relax after the defeat of Hitler makes fascism the more immediate threat. Both investigators report that a determined Fascist movement is growing in this country. Mr. Carlson’s book offers documentary evidence, and a personal experience narrative loaded with suspense. vIn gathering his material, Mr. Carlson has attended the meetings of hate-mongers. He posed as one of them and entered into their

A chapter devoted to “Our Liters ati” concerns San Francisco aye thors and their books. Reading Mrs. Atherton’s book is almost as good as visiting the city, She has made San Francisco come alive in words. . LL ” 2 ‘FORTUNE, SMILE ONCE MORE!” is a fictional treatment of San Francisco's early history, Mary Floyd Williams’ novel goes back to the 1850's, when the city was as turbulent as it has ever been, and when the ancestors of leading modern San Francisco families had not yet settled down to quiet respectability. The story concerns the love of Sam Watkins, an Australian convict, and Mary Stokes, a lady's maid. Fortune turns against the couple in Tasmania, only to reunite them later in San Francisco. With plenty of historical material and local color. “Fortune, Smile Once More!” is both entertaining and informative.
