THURSDAY, MARCH 1, 1962 THE PILOT—Southern Pines, North Carolina Some Looks At Books By LOCKIE PARKER Page THREE THE FOX IN THE ATTIC by Richard Hughes (Harper $4.50). This is one of the important books of a good season. Several English critics have compared it to Tol stoy. A veteran critic said recent ly that a major novel must have a moral problem. This has it. The author is deeply concerned over relations between the “I” and the “not I,” on the effect nineteenth century rationalism had on these relations, what war does to them and specifically the part they play in the lives of his characters, ranging from his mild young hero to Adolph Hitler. This philosophic background does not prevent him from writ ing a powerful narrative with a touching romance of young love and situations which hold the reader. The characters have a flesh-and-blood actuality and are closely woven into both the plot and the theme, so that there nev er seems to be a superfluous word. Augustine, a young Englishman of the country gentry, is trying at the beginning of the book to live the life of a hermit because “any relationship which involved one human being constraining anoth er repelled him.” Like the author Augustine was born about 1900 trained for the British Army of World War I, then went to Ox ford and later to Central Europe. In Augustine’s case, a tragic ac cident shook him out of his her mit phase. He makes a journey to visit some distant relatives in Bavaria. There in an almost medi eval manor he finds people deep ly resentful still of Germany’s de feat, struggling with a shattered economy and a shattered morale, all more or less involved in some scheme for reshaping their world. He is near Munich when Hitler makes his first abortive push for power and then, fleeing, cowers in a country attic, awaiting ar rest. This book is the first part of a larger design to write what the author has described as “a lone historical novel of his own times culminating in the Second World War,” its title to be “The Human Predicament.” It is a bold plar but Richard Hughes has a depth of insight, a sweep of vision and a sure control of his medium that should be equal to it. THE SCIENCE OF DREAMS by Edwin Diamond (Doubleday $4.50). People who claim that they never dream will be sur prised to learn that not only does everyone dream, but that every one follows a universal pattern of dreaming. Edwin Diamond who is science editor of News week, reports that studies hav. proven that in an eight-houi night of sleep, every individual dreams approximately once every ninety minutes. Gone are the days of the non- dregmer and men’s wild specula tions about dreams. The thous ands of experiments that have been performed since the first dream-monitoring experiment in in 1952 have demonstrated that there is a science of dreams and sleep. In the past decade, using a device for recording brain that there are four distinct stages of sleep; that dreaming occurs in the lightest stage of sleep; that each dream episode each night in creases in length, the final dream of the night often being four or five times as long as the first; and that about twenty per cent of the night is spen* dreaming. In addition to the many facts which scientists have uncovered about dreams, the author also dis cusses the animistic beliefs of primitive men, the dream inter pretations of the early Egyptians and Assyrians, the use of dreams in “playing the numbers,” a com parison of the dream theories of the Iroquois Indians and Freud, and many other psychological and psychanalytical aspects of dreams. Written for the layman, this is a very readable book on a subject that has intrigued human specu lation since men began to think at all. THE CASE OF THE EXTRA GRAVE by Christopher Bush (Macmillan $3.25). This English author writes the classic detective story with no literary frills nor plunges into the field of psychol ogy. He presents a case, looks for clues, makes his deductions. This is a beauty. The modest but astute Ludovic Travers of the Broad Street De tective Agency is called by an in surance company to solve a jewel robbery but asked to keep it quiet. It seems that not only jew els are missing but the young wife of the middle-aged manager of an elegant and exclusive jewel firm. That looks plain enough but the first clues they turn up lead nowhere. It is Travers’s colleague, the industrious Hallows, who first turns up something useful. Even then you are in for plen ty of surprises. Just as the puz zle seems certain to be solved, things take an unexpected turn. The reader has here a few hours of most engrossing reading. DOG SOLDIERS, The Famous Warrior Society of the Cheyenne Indians by Glen Dines and Ray mond Price (Macmillan $1.95). This is one of a group of bookr on the Frontier West designed for boys from eight to twelve. Fac tual, they are copiously illustra ted in color with drawings that combine plenty of action with careful attention to authentic de tail. An extra wide page gives the pictures room to convey the fine sweep of the western plains. The Dog Soldiers were the most honored of all the Cheyenne war societies; the bravest four carried the famous “dog Rone.” In criti- .al moments of battle, a carrier of this rope would drive in the picket-pin at its end and thus tether himself to a soot where he would die rather than retreat. The authors describe one such battle with the Pawnees. Prepara tions and equipment for the war raid are described in some detail as well as the battle and the cele bration afterward. Other books in this group in dued “Buffalo Land,” “Silver and Lead,” and “Long Knife,” a story waves, scientists have discovered of the U. S. Cavalry of 1860. "WE LIKE TO THINK ..."

No- body wants to be called one. Even a thief himself will complain about other thieves. “I’ve been robbed!” is a common complaint uttered by those who habitually rob others. To be sure, there are twisted minds, busy in devis ing dishonest schemes, and proud of their success when they do work. Dr. Foreman But then there are twisted minds clever in all ways of crime and sin. What we can call normal people don’t like to be called thieves. It is a fatal objection to a man that he is dis honest. Nothing else makes up for the lack of honesty. “He is a generous, hard-working man— but you have to watch him every minute.” “He’s a pleasant gentle man, but don’t have any business dealings with him.” Those are not “recommendations” any of us would enjoy over-hearing about ourselves. But are we honest? Nevertheless, such is the strange nature of the self-deceiv ing human mind, that it is easy to “kid” ourselves into thinking we are more honest than we really are. One way we deceive ourselves is by taking refuge in what is undeniably a fact: It does make a difference where the money is taken from. It is worse to take money from a child than from a man big enough to fight; it is worse to take money from a poor man than from a rich one. Of course; but stealing is still stealing; even if not all forms of stealing are equally bad, all forms are bad. It is not true, for ex ample, that if the person from whom we withhold what is their rightful due is rich enough,— maybe not a person at all but a corporation or a government, then it’s all rifdit to do them for all we can get by with. jesu. on one occasion gave a strong h !i to the Pharisees that they were cheating the Roman government by not paying taxes. Saint Paul (Romans 13:7) found it necessary to instruct his fellow-Romans to pay their taxes. One of the com monest forms of theft in Amer ica is beating the government out of tax money. Business firms would even make a joke of it; ex pense accounts were known as ‘swindle sheets.” Another common form of steal !ng is to take money from people who are helpless. To be sure, few grown Americans would actually take money from a child; but some Americans have slow and creaky consciences when it comes to taking advantage of their posi tion by charging much too much. Those price-fixing cases we all read about were like that. A city would have to pay enormous sums for electrical equipment, because the bids were “rigged” and not competitive. A landlord will charge exorbitant rent for his property, aU because he knows the tenant has nowhere to go. A union will charge its members, or a surgeon his patients, or a plumber his customers, with a bill that is all out of reason; just be cause the workman or patient or customer has no choice but to pay. In good oause The incident of the money changers in the Temple (Mark 11:15-19) illustrates two forms of stealing at once. The temple taxes had to be paid in a special cur rency. These money-men would exchange (say) Roman money into temple money, charging a very high fee for the service. Now they were cheating the public on sacred premises; but stealing is stealing no matter where it’s done. In America uncounted sums are lost every year in gambling devices in certain church “fes tivals” and “picnics” and the like, not to mention double-priced white elephants at church bazaars. It’s all for a good cause, we are told, and even prominent public lead ers set a bad example of gambling even if it is for the benefit of a cancer fund or some charitable organization. But it’s still steal ing, more is lost than won. Or to take a different example: How many churches pay their janitors and other servants even the mini mum standard wages? A church has no more right to underpay employees than any individual has. Keeping what belongs to people out of their hands is still stealing.
