The literature of . elegy is rich,
and those who desire may drink
long at its spring. But many when
touched by . deep bereavement
must v find self-expression. The
reading of Milton's "Lycidas" or
Shelley's "Adonais" or of Tenny
'son's "In Memoriam" will not
suffice. Their souls must pour
'themselves out, it may be in fam
ily letters, in poetry which never
sees other eyes than its author's,
Jn memoirs or longer books. That
was how Dr. Carl Gregg Doney,
former president of Willamette
university, came to write a newly
published book "The Broken Cir
cle' (Fleming H. Revel! Co., pub
lishers). The sudden death of his
older son Paul H. Doney, of coro
nary thrombosis while bathing at
a Maryland beach, affected him
deeply. He found occupation for
his mind and release for his emo
tions in doing. this book which
friends and the publishers thought
merited printing."

Write with the grace and origin

talks were little masterpieces of
oral discourse. Even his reports to
trustees were carefully written
and felicitously phrased. I recall

thoughtfulness ' rtr, el y . found
among those in executive posi

' This book is different from the
sentimental memoir which one
might expect who did not know
its author. It has sentiment,
frankly and proudly avowed but
not sentimentality. It is not "Ra
chel weeping for her children,"
who will not be comforted. Its
tone is pitched in no minor key.
The Doney faith is too strong: a
major chord is dominant, as in
the quotation from Bunyan which
closes the introduction:
: So He Passed Over
And the Trumpets Sounded for
Him
On the Other Side."

Air Arm Biattles
Nazi Fighters
To Hit Bremen
By 'JAMES F. KING
LONDON, Nov. 13H43)-American
Flying Fortresses and Libera
tor bombers, protected by Thun
derbolt and Lightning fighters,
fought through swarms of Gee
man fighters, thick clouds and 50-below-zero
temperature today to
batter the vital port and commu
nications center of Bremen.
' Railway yards, canals, high
ways, bridges and the Germans'
best port since the destruction of
Hamburg were blasted by the
American heavy bombers which
also took a toll of 33 nazi inter
ceptors. The accompanying Thun
derbolts and Lightnings account
ed for 10 more enemy aircraft for
a total of 43.
In swamping the , heavily-defended
port using a new tech
nique of bombing through the
clouds, Berlin said 15 of the big
bombers and nine American fight
ers were reported missing. ; '
. "Several hundred German
fighters were seen by the Thun
derbolts and Lightnings which
in escorting the bombers made
- their longest , and most hazard

Eighth air force's fourth on Brem

disclosure that more than 1,000,

the port each year. In addition,
Bremen is the home of Germany's
biggest shipbuilding yards, particularly-
those turning, out 'sub-'
marines.

heavy bomber attack, RAF fight

; " Soviet ' forces smashed
into the city on the Lenin

Other units, Moscow said, were
converging on Korosten, a second
vital ; junction on the railway 13
miles above Zhitomir and 33 miles
south of Korosten.
The third force that drove into
Malin was 27 miles east of Koro

would force the Germans to re
route all their north-south traffic
through the Pripet marshes of pre

Another r important Russian at

Senate Studies
Demobilization
By JACK BELL
WASHINGTON, Nov. 13-P)-A
move to create an over-all war
demobilization board with Ber
nard M. Baruch as administrator
is under consideration by the sen
ate's; special postwar committee
but members are divided on the
scope of the proposed agency's
authority.
Chairman George (D-Ga) told
this reporter today there appears
to-be - unanimous belief among
members that congress should en
act speedily legislation fixing a
few major policies for reconver
sion : of industry to civilian pur
suits' after the war ends.
Almost everyone" oh the com
mittee, he said, wants Baruch,
the administration's trouble shoot
er, to head a hew agency which
would provide' the machinery for
industrial demobilization, but some
want it to .operate only In an ad
visory capacity and others as the
direct authority with powers even
wider than those originally given
the war production board. ' v
He expressed belief that con
gress -' must maka provision "for
temporary loans to war contract
ors' to aid ,in . revamping their
plants for civilian manufacture.
He added that some safeguards
ought to be written into such" a
policy declaration to assure small
business - an equal chance with
larger operators in obtaining ma
terials and machinery at reason
able prices.

Take Control
Of Lebanon
By ROGER GREENE -LONDON,
Nov. 13 -VFf The
British government made it clear
today that it was ready to seize
control quickly in Lebanon if nec
essary to protect ' the strategic
middle east following reports of
clashes between the French and
Lebanese nationalists. British
troops already are on the spot If
needed.
While the French-controlled
Beirut' radio announced that the
situation in Syria and Lebanon
was quiet and charged that re
ports of disturbances were "en
emy propaganda," . the British
showed , that they definitely did
not share this view.
Although British officials de
clined to say whether Britain
might, employ armed forces In
the crisis, news correspondents
were told that they could not
exaggerate the Importance the'
government attaches , to main-
talning order in the' near east.
Particularly, it was emphasized,
I disorders cannot be permitted in
this vital area, for which British
troops are responsible. The Brit
ish are understood to have made
this plain to Gen. Charles De
Gaulle's French committee of na
toinal liberation in their protest
over the arrest of Lebanese lead
ers this week by the French.
Gen. Georges Catroux, com
missioner of state of the French
committee, who promised the
Lebanese their Independence
from the French mandate in 1941,
was hurrying to Beirut from Al
giers in an eleventh-hour attempt
to settle the explosive crisis.
Gen. Catroux is expected to
stop in Cairo to deliver Gen.
Charles De Gaulle's reply to T a
vigorous protest by Nahas Pasha,
Egyptian premier, against the ar
rest of the Lebanese president and
cabinet members and the dismis
sal of the newly-elected parlia
ment and the establishment of a
new government. More than half
of the population of Lebanon is
Arab. .
German propaganda machinery
swung Into action to make the
most of the crisis. DNB, the Ger
man news agency i asserted in a
broadcast that the outbreaks
were fomented by"British in
trigue" in, a move "destined In
the long run to take the wind out
of Arab endeavors to create Ar
abian unity.
