boldness of the ideas as encom
passed in the novel. This book has
been steadily climbing up the lad
der of best sellers and has reached
an enviable place on the top rung.
There ate many new books com
ing to the book shelves that have
been out so short a time that the
reviewers have not had time to
give their ideas about them. But
one of the verv latest to make its
appearance is "NIGHT AND THE
CITY," written by Gerald Kersh,
and before very long everbody will
be giving their own personal re
action to the book.
The central character, Harry
Fabrian, is probably the most com
pletely loathesoine character in
modern fiction. The reader will
despise him and those with whom
he spends his evil-thinking time.
The half-world of gangsters and all
that goes with this type, are his
habitations. He lives their lives
and their vicious ways and you'll
hate him with a vindicitiveness
that will keep your eyes on every
page of the book until you regret
fully reach the last page.
But as in all books . . . and in
life, too . . . there are some beauti
ful aspects to the story . . . and
you will sympathize with the two
lovers and watch their love unfold
as does a lovely flower even though
planted in the most dismal sur
roundings. Ernie Pyle's admirers . , . and
they were legion . . . will welcome
the publishing of his last book
called, appropriately enough,
"LAST CHAPTKR." His first book,
"IIERK IS YOUR WAR" has sold
1,320,000 copies and his second,
"BRAVE MKN" sold to the stag
gering amount of 1,300,000 copies.
The newest, and most unfortun
ately, the last one will in all prob
ability out sell either of the other
two.
Every man who shared bunks
with Ernie Pylo will want to read
this book of their buddy, for that
is just what Ernie was ... a buddy
and pal with every man in the out
fit. What was bad enough for the
boys to plow through, wasn't too
bad for Ernie to be at their side,
plodding along in mud and night
blackness.

I. Ross Eakin
Former Park
Official Dies
Major J. Ross Eakin, superin
tendent of the Great Smoky Moun
tains National park from 1931 un
til ill health forced his retirement
a little more than a year ago, died
at a Johnson City, Tenn., hospital
Saturday night. He was 66 years of
age.
Major Eakin suffered a stroke in
December of 1944 while en route
from Washington to Gatlinburg.
He never recovered.
A veteran of 39 years in govern
ment service, Major Eakin had
been with the National Park serv
ice 24 years.
West Virginia Native
A native of West Virginia, Major
Eakin was graduated from the col
lege of engineering at the Uni
versity of West Virginia. A few
days later he joined the U. S.
Geological Survey as a topographi
cal engineer.
He continued with the Geological
Survey from 1903 to 1921 except
for military service during World
War I. He entered the army as a
lieutenant and later was promoted
to captain. One year of his service
was in France.
His work with the Geological
Survey took him to all sections of
the United States and Alaska. He
worked for six years in the Cum
berland mountains of Kentucky,
measured the peaks of the Cas
cade mountains in Washington, and
the valleys in the Big Bend coun
try in Texas. His work in Alaska
took him to the Mt. McKinley Na
tional park and to the treacherous
Muldrow glacier.
Joined Park Service
On leaving the Geological Sur
vey, he was transferred to the Na
tional Park service. His first as
signment with that agency took
him to Glacier National park as
superintendent. After three years
there, he was sent to the Grand
Canyon National park, and re
turned from there to Glacier park
for another three and a half years.
It was from there that he was
sent here to take over the newly
created Great Smoky Mountains
National park as the first super
intendent. Under his direction the
park was developed from a vast
mountain wilderness to the nation's
most popular National park. He
was always active in striving for
greater appropriations with which
to build roads, trails and other
improvements in the park.
Widely Traveled
During his travels he had been
in every National park in this
country except Crater Lake park
in Oregon and Sequoyah in Cali
fornia. It was during his tour as super
intendent of the Great Smoky
Mountains National park that Ma
jor Eakin became the center of a

KING HUMBERT CASTS HIS VOTE
IN THE FIRST FREE NATIONAL ELECTION in Italy since Fascism, King
Humbert casts his ballot in Rome, along with some 60 or cent of the

but the Jim Crow law is on the
way out. whether you like it or not.
In times past, we have permit
ted treacherous Japs, dirty Wops,
.i nd Hitler-loving Germans to sit
where they pleased on buses and
trains and in theatres, and we sat
with them and talked to them about
their great countries . . . but if
Negroes sat anywhere near the
front of the bus or on the same
care with us. we thought it was
terrible.
Even now here in the South we
permit foreigners of every color
and description to ride on the seat
beside us . . . but if the Negroes,
who helped build the South and
did work we wouldn't do. try it. we
become highly insulted.
Sounds silly, but that's the way
it is. . . If the young Negroes will
be as sensible as their parents, and
will not jump to take advantage
of this V. S. Supremo Court de
cision, there shouldn't be any ser
ious trouble. In other words, it's
largely up to the Negroes.

My dear Sou:
This thing of being a father is ,i
pretty serious proposition as wui
will well know some of these d.is.
Children grow up so last:
Why, only yesterday you were a
brand new citien in tins busy
world of ours. Naturally. 1 .is
pretty well set up over the fail
that my first son had arrived on
schedule and was a miglm husky
sort of a chap, even at that early
age. Then, all of a sudden you had
outgrown those baby wiles and
were preparing for your first day
at school. Of course, womanlike,
your mother wept a hit secretly
over the fact that our baby was a
big boy now. Hut 1 saw visions
of your progress at a rapid pace
and before I fully realized it. you
were an All-American and your
picture on every sport page in the
country.
You took your gradual ion in
your usual quiel, dignified manner
and the honors of valedictorian
were worn with the same assimila
tion as were your cap and gown.
My son, you will never know the
pride that surged through my
being when you smiled that one
sided smile of yours as you passed
me on your way back to your seat.
Somehow, it was the greatest day
in my life.
Then you brought Till- girl
home to meet your mother ami me.
controversy that all railed national
attention when Senator Kenneth
McKellar, of Tennessee, attempted
unsuccessfully to have linn re
moved from his office because I he
park official was reported to li ie
declined to employ political friends
of the senator.
It was during this controversy
that the famous "marked ballot "
episode developed in Gat liiihurg.
Senator McKellar charged that
Major Kakin voted for Hoover as
president and produced a Ihiniib
marked ballot, which lie s.oil was
marked by election officials to see
how the park head voted.
Funeral services and burial for
Major Kakin took place in Arling
ton cemetery, Washington, on Monday.
Of course she was just exactly
right, you wouldn't select any
other sort. Your mother pressed
my hand pretty tight after you
had gone and the tears just
wouldn't stay put. After all, son,
it's pretty hard to share your son
villi another woman alter all the
i years of devotion, companionship
I and mot hei hood. Hut she w as a
! lmmhI snort, xour mother. And she
dolled up for the wedding until
sin- looked like a bride herself.
The papers said it was very
' beautiful and thai you were one

you would go far in your profes
sion. You did. Ileing the young
est man lo ever sit on the Supreme
Court was about as much honor as
a lean y our age could ask for, and
I sat back and blinked my eyes at
I the wonder of it all.
! Your mother uwft I aren't taking
! any credit for this, son, because
no matter how much we would do
i for you it had to be in your niake
; up to carry on lo a successful
Iruilion. We do feel that heredity
and environment play a large part
in the progress of humanity hut
the foundation has to he there he
1 lore any building of importance
j can rise. And the building U of
that great structure lies solely in
the hands of the builder himself.
You took I his for granted, I am
vure. lor you nao risen io ine
heights under your own power.
And now your mother and I can
lean hack in our old age and enjoy
life lo its fullest knowing well that
your future is in such hands as
your own. The sleepless nights
and the lines of worry that neces
sarily goes with the rearing of chil
dren are all forgotten in (his hour
of supreme sal isf act ion.
Yes. son. this thing of being a
father is a prelly serious proposi
tion. You WKHK born only yes
