Library Arrivals New Historical Novel Gives Witness To Power Struggle Ot Ancient Rome Winifred Bryher, acclaimed for Coin of Carthage" is history and her magical skill in recapturing parable, the present in the past, past periods of crisis, has taken King's Story Told the confusion and hazards of the "Sunset at Noon" by Jane Oli Second Punic War as background i ver is the story of James IV of for her new novel, "The Coin of i Carthage." Her protagonists are marginal characters, men who do not make history but witness and endure it. Through the fates of two Greek traders she evokes the greatest struggle in which ancient Rome engaged. The two men's allegiance to Rome is tenuous, and when Han-' nibal's brilliant campaign carried the Carthaginian troops into south 'ern Italy, they have no compunc tion to seek out the enemy, who, far from his native bases, pays well for leather and oil. Both men, however, are com pelled by more than gain. Adven ture, the call of the road, the mirage of the golden sands of Africa lure them into unknown territory, among alien, untrust worthy people and shadowy dan gers. But Winifred Bryher has done more than describe the fate of men; with extraordinary insight she records the dying of the cities of the vanquished, the. subtle and corroding change that accompan ies the fall from power. "The 'ear m PEAR ABBY: It's the same old story. Wife puts husband through four years of school, plus two years of dentistry, and now she has been outgrown. However, my story is more than this. I've taught school, born two children and am expecting another. My husband took up with a "beat" crowd and is now trying to "dis cover who he is and what his purpose in life is." He was raised rigidly in the church, but he's forsaken it to experiment in a "free" way of life, which includes drinking and other women. We've been separated three months. (I took the children and went to HIS parents, 2000 miles away my parents are dead and I have no "family" of my own). My hus band now writes that he has taken up painting and intends to desert the career for which he was trained, because he can't handle the responsibility of a family un til he finds out who he is and what his purpose in life is. I know I haven't been a perfect wife, but I was faithful, and put him through school. What am I to do? TROUBLED DEAR TROUBLED: Your hus band is either sick or a bad ap ple. His father should go after him and tell him WHO he is (a husband and father) and explain that his purpose in life is to take care of his family. If your husband is sick, he should have treatment. If he's a bad apple, he should be cut off the family tree. DEAR ABBY: What do you think of a person who goes into someone else's home and says, "My, it's COLD in here!"? Or, "My, it's HOT in here"? I was taught that the temperature in one's home should not be crit icized because it suits the people who are living there. If a guest comes into a home, shouldn't she forget about her own comfort and keep quiet if the temperature is not to her liking? I'd appreciate seeing this in the paper. Thank you. INSULTED DEAR INSULTED: Personally, I would rather forego my own "comfort" and please my guests. I see nothing wrong with a guest commenting on the temperature of a room. It makes more sense than shivering in silence, or at tempting to fan oneself witn limp handkerchief.

He led his country to days of great glory, holding the delicate balance of power between the England and France of Renais sance Europe. He inspired men to die for him and women to live for him, but few people ever knew of the dark guilt that tor mented his soul or the romantic dreams of chivalric honor that would help to bring about his downfall. To the Tudor princess who be- j came his wife, he gave compas sion, but only to Margaret Drum mond did he give his heart.' From the time of her death, a victim of international plotting and na tional treason, James underwent a drastic change. In this novel, Jane Oliver has re-created all the pageantry and color, all the triumphs and trag edies of one of the most beloved kings Scotland has ever known, a lonely yet brilliant man who brought his nation to .new heights of power and then led his people to one of their darkest hours.

(UPI Tele photo) i Clergyman Exists Agai WASHINGTON (UPI)-A clergy man from Eugene, Ore., told a Senate subcommittee Tuesday that discrimination against Negroes ex ists on a "very quiet basis" in Oregon and even at the Univer sity of Oregon. The statement was made by Dr. Wesley G. Nicholsen, pastor of the First Congregational Church in Eugene, before the Senate Em ployment and Manpower subcom mittee. The clergyman and Dr. Kenneth Polk, assistant professor of soci ology at the university, appeared before the committee to urge ex tension of a law under which com munities receive federal grants to help plan youth employment pro grams. The topic of racial discrimina tion was brought out when Sub committee Chairman Joseph S. Clark, D-Pa., asked whether the juvenile delinquency rate was higher among minority groups. Dr. Nicholsen, who said there l y& J--- Vj.v'. I S..' ' -..! Says Discrimination nst Oregon Negro fr was no difference in the delin quency rate in Lane County, sug gested that discrimination w a s found throughout the country. Clark had expressed surprise that it should exist in Oregon. "Tense" Situation Dr. Nicholsen said a "tense situation" exists in Portland and elsewhere in the state. He cited the case of a Negro electrician who worked for the Bonneville Power Administration. He said the Negro had previously worked in Olympia, Wash., where he found everyone to be "very friendly" in stores, churches and schools. But since being transferred to "The Negro had been most un happy" because he had found people to be "very unfriendly." The clergyman said he thought the problem was "local" rather than a difference between the states when asked by Clark why Negroes should receive a less friendly reception in Oregon than in Washington. &i .S1! tT, J i: : The two Orcgonians testified as spokesman for the Lane County Youth Study Board, which re ceived a $192,000 for an 18-month planning program to combat juve nile delinquency. They told the committee that In rural areas such as Lano County there was less juvenile delin quency than in urban areas but that it was growing at an "alarm ing" rate. Dr. Polk told the com. mittee that delinquency in Lane loumy involved less serious of fenses than in large urban areas. The major problem, in Lane County, he said, was drinking among youin.

IS, T963 The Joan Crawford Emotion On Before Camera HOLLYWOOD By VERNON SCOTT UPI Hollywood Correspondent HOLLYWOOD (UTI)-The cam era dollied is for a closeup of Joan Crawford's face. Director William Castle called, "action," and the actress stared straight into the lens. Her face contorted into a sob, followed by a scream that shook the rafters of the Columbia sound stage. Then the camera backed away to reveal a blood smeared ax in Joan's hands. The camera rolled closer again to catch the tears real tears coursing down her face. "Cut," cried Castle who had exactly what he wanted on the first take in a scene for "Strait- jacket," Joan moved out of the lights, the tears still streaming from her eyes. It took a few moments for her to apply the brakes to the murderess she was playing. Grad ually she returned to being Joan Crawford, actress extraordinaire and executive of a soft drink company. Dressed in an inexpensive cot ton dress and wearing flat heels, the Oscar-winning actress was anything but glamorous. She blew her nose and dried her tears. "I've always been able to cry without the use of glycerine," she said, smiling. "It's not easy to cry on cue, but with concentration and disci pline every actress should learn how to do it. And once I begin crying it takes about two minutes of self-discipline to stop. "I tried cheating once in 'Su san and God' after I'd been cry ing for about four days. I told my director, George Cukor, that I was all cried out. So they put glycerine on my face. But it felt phony and I forced myself to cry an over again. 1 "Real tears cause your voice to change and your whole atti tude is different." Joan, who stands only 5 feet 4Va inches, appears shorter in person than she does on the screen. Between scenes she slipped into a pair of high heeled shoes, threw her head back in the BONE CAUSES DEATH SWINDON, England (UPI) Mrs. Olive Baldwin, 64, died 10 days after a chicken bone be came lodged in her throat, be cause X-rays failed to discover it, the coroner said Tuesday.

Gone was the faded, terrified little ax murderess she had been only seconds before. Composed now, she said, "I never really know what I'm go ing to do when the camera starts rolling. I wait until the emotion brings it on pure emotion right from the guts. "But you must discipline your emotions so that they convey ex actly what the character is sup posed to be doing and thinking." What does Crawford, one of the brightest stars of all time, think about the so-called method school of acting? "You can analyze youseU right out of this business," she said. With that Joan walked back into the set for her next scene. When the camera began rolling she pulled some hidden switch and became the murderess again. It was something to see.
