Clark, jr., as mayor of the city. Thus the voter extended reforms they initiated two years , ago after scandals had riven the old city hall i with William Penn's benignant statue atop it '; The democratic organization lost in New York! where Xtudolph Halley, who as counsel for the. Kefauver committee had turned the spotlight on' the alliance between gambling and politics, was I .' - . mm m : v electea council president, an onice ranxing nexi to, that of mayor. He promises a cleanup In New York city; and his experience to bringing con-; ditioas "there into the light of day should give him knowledge of where to start, I In Boston the effort of former mayor J ames M. Curley to return to power was turned back," but Curley himself, forseeing his defeat, had withdrawn as a contender several weeks ago. ; J All in all the results in city elections were gratifying. We aren't disappointed that Dan Pol-: ;; inf was Tbeaten in Philadelphia his great field f Is in the pulpit and as editor of the Christian i Herald. He'd have had hard sledding trying to ' reform the entrenched political machine of his city. A real purge is needed there and the demo ' i crat is better able to produce it. . COP Gains One in Congress Tuesday elections to fill vacancies were held in four congressional districts. Republicans were elected in all four. Three of the seats had been held "by republicans, the fourth, in Ohio, by a democrat. ,-':-:.; - ' .7 While democrats won in dty elections the ojh posite was true in these congressional elections. While often such elections turn on personalities and local issues the fact that the GOP won in all four is at least a straw showing how political winds are blowing. . ' Badgering General Ike It is unfortunate that the return visit of Gen eral Eisenhower to Washington ' prompted so ' much political speculation. It must have been embarrassing to him and to President Truman.' After all each has a present and pressing job to dof and here are plenty of grave matters for them -to discuss in private conferences. The North Atlantic Council meets November 24th in Rome, and certainly there was need to harmonize views f Americans before that meeting occurs, j We should take at its face value the statement of thegeneral that if and when he has any state ment -to make on politics he will make it him self. Maybe this will stop the parade of politicos who profess .to know what Ike will do with re ference 4 a presidential nomination. It doesn't stop the speculation of course, Or the miscros copie study of his words to see if some special Intent -isn't hidden behind his simple declara tions. 3Iis "booster will continue to promote his name -unless he should reiterate his 1948 de claration or issue a renunciation as positive and fined as -that of General Sherman when his name was proposed as a possible candidate for , the presidency. It is only fair to him, however, for' hi supporters to quit badgering him and let him make his own declaration of purpose. Anaenida Copper in Aluminum - An event of importance in the business world 'is the decision of Anaconda Copper company to go . into aluminum manufacture.

And along with the zest of discover ing common humanity in all its forms, colors.' and guises, he is carrying a new sense of responsibility '--inherited in large part from the British. One of the signs of this growing world-minded-ness is the flood of books in which globe-trotting Tanks are with utmost frankness telling Americans how they look to others as well as seeking to ex plain why the others act as they do. Two just pub lished and excellent examples are William O. Doug las' book on the Middle East and James A. Michen ers on the Far East J ; I Surely no nation has ever produced more open minded adventures into global friendship than has America. The books recording these may lack the rich complexity and sophistication of such British masterpieces as "The Seven Pillars of Wisdom" or Black Lamb and Grey Falcon, but they confront a broader scene with an eager and unabashed good will that is America at its! best Anaconda.

G. Rogers THE MASTERS, by C. P. Snow (Macmillan; $3.50) The American novelist, when he turns 'to school; and college for his subject, usually writes about the wilder goings-on of boys and girls. As a foil for this sort I of gaudy story, we have frost England this account of life on the, other side of the teacher's desk; or about cap and gown as cover for a lot of wit and learn ing, but for jealousy, rivalry and spite as well. The narrator is ' Lewis Eliot, whom fortunate,readers had met in an earlier Snow novel. He is at a; college in Cambridge. The master there has been ilL and the doctors reveal that he has only half a year left. His succes sor may- be appointed from out-- side; or the professors may choose one from their own ranks. Though they like and respect the dying man, they are still among the living and must carry on the business of living, so they man age to put aside grief and work on the selection of a new college head.il . . - . . Jago, senior tutor for about 10 years, brings the tragic news to Lewis, and in practically the same breath admits that it has been! suggested to him that he allow his name, Jago, to be con sidered for the coming vacancy. Beginning his electioneering with unseemly promptness, he wonders whether Xewis would vote for himJ It's not possible to decide yet, Lewis answers, though even tually he backs Jago against Crawford. However far they may be in these cloisters and groves from; the political hurly-burly of the s outside world, they have picked up some brute facts about politics, and apply them. The candidates, even more than their ardent supporters, leave no stone unturned, or un thrown either, to win their campaigns. One teacher demands a coveted appointment in return for' his suffrage; an other is threatened with dismis sal if he backs the wrong horse; there Is even a whispering cam paign in loud whispers, about a candidate's wife. Ambition, no doubt laudable by itself, leads these dons into sorry practices. This sort of un expected genteel corruption makes an Interesting theme, but the novel is less urgent than Snow's previous books.
