But Dr. Eckstein knows acquire human speech. If there is to be commuhication, it must be on the animal's terms. AN ” » IN “EVERYDAY MIRACLE,” an admirable collection of essays based on his keen-witted observation, he describes his close association with his longtailed blue and gold macaw, Pawley. Like their cousins, the parrots, macaws can Tep at sounds, but y Dr. Eckstein do not wunderstand them. Dr. Eckstein did not try to teach Pawley ‘words, yet her ability to communicate grew. What happened was that Dr, Eckstein became better able to interpret the bird’s noises. “I knew she would never understand words as we under stand them,” he writes, “and I do not claim that there were distinct ideas behind her separate tones, but I am convinced that there were distinct feelings and shades of feelings. It should be pointed out, too, that the selfsame tones would recur again and again in selfsame situations.” -

"WHEN . THIS YOU SEE RE. MEMBER ME: GERTRUDE STEIN IN PERSON." By W. G. Rogers. New York, Rinehart, $3.

Here is the first book in years that makes some sense out of Gertrude Stein. It comes from W. i, Rogers, Associated Press writer, and is called “When This You See Re. member Me: Gertrude Stein In Person.” The tagline was one often quoted by Gertrude. Mr. Rogers ran into Gertrude and her companion, Alice B, Toklas, when he was on leave from ambulance - duty in France 30 years ago and was taking in the Roman remains in Nimes. This chance meeting -started an acquaintarce that made Mr. Rogers, and later his wife, boon companions of Gertrude and Alice on their “wonderful, wonderful” American trip, during which Gertrude lectured at the best universities without anyone finding out what she really meant. However it gave the students a respite

the. good.

» » » GERTRUDE STEIN thought W. G. Rogers looked like Abraham Lincoln, and perhaps he does. He, in turn, thought Mijas Stein's attire was homely, yet regal, and that she and Alice B. Toklas “were something extra special.” Mfss Stein's'face reminded him of “18-inch sculpture which mysteriously produces an 18-foot effect.” The mouth was wide, the complexion was weathered, the eyes were magnetic and the Stein laughter could “rumble like thunder.” Mr. Rogers Jiked Gertrude Stein and wants to give the most plausible and friendly explanation of her eccentricities, but in one direction he gives her reputation a hard blow. He quotes statements addressed.to him by Miss Stein that are not only in readable English, but actually peddle trite phrases that good writers avoid.

” o ” LOUIS BROMFIELD once said that she had the finest intellect of any woman he had met, but Gertrude wrote Mr. Rogers that she “never could read Bromfield, not any, and hardly any of Glenway Wescott.” These were men she knew personally. Of her advice to writers, her chief influence, Mr. Rogers says: ‘Her guidance was not academic; it did not often include such specific recommendations as the admonishment to Ernest Hemingway: remarks do not make literature. When she advised him to abandon newspaper work and

other experiences seems to be that it is better to do good impersonally than to try direct contact with individuals. “If I'm going to worry about individuals, how can I be trusted to guide whole communities of men?” Dixon asks himself. “People like me, in an important spot, do good for Negroes, sure, but don't mix in personality. There are so many bigger problems for {a man in my spot to settle. I act {as though these people were important. The issues are important, but not any one person.” This comes dangerously close to the totalitarian attitude -toward individuals, and is far removed from the religious.
