This is made very clear by Jullan Huxley in “Heredity East and West” (Henry Schuman, $3). After reading this book it be‘comes obvious that Communist Party officials in the Soviet Union have decided that facts estab lished by the most eareful scientific means in this field over the

sian state; that in no small measure these facts are inhospitable to Marxist doctrine. Therefore, they do not exist.

Quite aside from the author's remarkably able recitation of issues involved in a bitter dispute, the volume is an intensely interesting and readable record of development in the field of genetics over the past 50 years. Those who wish to learn something of nature's means of transmitting and perpetuating life will find a wealth of information on the subject here; and they will find an excellent framework for continued study.

With {this in mind, “Out of the Croclodile's Mouth,” edited by William Nelson’ (Public Affairs Press, {$2.50), is recommended.
