Improved Elbertas Winter Banana Apples V "Hi iM Book on Washington Politics Centers in House, Smith Savs - By A. ROBERT SMITH Mail Tribune Washington .Correspondent Washington The new book about Washington politics, "Advise and Consent" by Allen Drury, co s t readers at least two things: - 1. Loss of sleep it is such a crack ing good story that the read er finds .it hard to put a. Robt. smith flown. W 1 1 n over 600 pages of adventures in the national spotlight, the book builds toward its climax and never becomes dreary go ing. 2. Loss of illusions it is such an authentic account of how the political game is play ed in Washington that it tells many things the civics books never printed. Drury, a New York, Times correspondent who covers the Senate, centers most of the action of his novel in the up per house of Congress where the reader is introduced to many Senate-types, past and present. The author claims his characters are . amalgams of many men who. have passed this way, not clear carbons of single specific men. But few will mistake the similarity be tween one character and the late demogogue from Wiscon sin who all but paralyzed the nation not so long ago before it became fashionable to give the boss of the Kremlin the red carpet treatment. -Focuses in Battle ' The plot focuses on the battle over confirmation by the Senate of a presidential appointment of a controversi al figure to be Secretary of State. It sets off a contest of political strength not unlike the real life episodes of the past year involving Clair Booth Luce and Sen. Wayne Morse, or the fight that de feated Lewis Strauss as Sec retary of Commerce. In this way Drury shows how separate branches of gov ernment come to grips in a power struggle, maneuvering, plotting, hesitating, conniving, mourning, even rising to acts of great courage. - What all of this tells, aside from the fascinating chain of events that can occur here behind the scenes where the public is not supposed to peak, is one simple and sometimes frightening truth: .we have a government of law but it is men who make it function. Lifeless Thing - The law is a lifeless thing until men, all of . them, quite human, give it animation in accord with their individual strengths, weaknesses, vir tues, wrongs. Two senators who reviewed this book-Richard L. Neu berger (O-Ore.) and Eugene McCarthy (D-Minn.) did so BRILL METAL WORKS Commercial Industrial Residential Sheet Metal Work Stainless, Galvanized and Copper Fabrication 22B7 West Main HONE SP 2-4440 The Shortest Distance Between Buyer and Seller- A .Classified Ad SnYhe Convenient Order Form For Quick Results Write Your Ad Below -1 Word to a Space - Cost Per Word Appears at Right.

They did not say, as the more idealistic reader might want to believe, that this is a sensation-packed book that does not truly re flect affairs of state. Perhaps a senator -would be embar rassed to contend that he and his colleagues are really bet ter . than this book portrays them to be. In only one sense is this novel out of proportion to the real Washington. None of its many sensational elements blackmail, romance, intrigue, death, presidential ambition are foreign to Washington. All of this fiction has happened here at one time or another, much of it in the short , span of a decade that this reporter has been covering Washing ton. The literary license we must allow Drury is to com pact all of these elements into one grand episode, when in real life headline events usually contain only one or two of these dramatic ele ments at a time. Has Philosophy The book is interwoven with philosophy and contemp lative thoughts about our country and its democratic system, and sound political in- FAMILY SERVICE Boston.

CATALANO Building Contractor - sight that is instructive. There is looming over much of the action the classic human di lemma: does the end, no mat ter how noble or seemingly necessary, justify all means, no matter how shabby some of them may be? The climax gives a pretty clear answer. Drury has said he set out merely to tell, via fiction, how things are done in Wash ington. He succeeded mag nificently. What he also suc ceeds in doing is to impress the reader with the power for good or bad that accures to every senator by virtue of his being one of only 50 that comprise the most powerful legislative body anywhere. A senator's voting record is only a fraction of the story of his conduct in high office; and so when the voters send to Washington men with char acter defects, the character of our government will accord ingly be shaped. r FOR CANNING They Will Make Mlghtly Fine Eating This Winter BRING YOUR OWN CONTAINERS SUNDAY & WEEK DAYS 8 to 5 , BEAR MEEK ORCHARDS 2 Miles South on Highway 99 BRAND NEW HOME OPEM MAIL TRIBUNE, Medford, Or. 19 Tuerfjy, Sept. 29. 1959 10 Elks Members to Be Honored Here Two 50-year members and one 49-year member will head the list of old timers to be honored by the Medford Elks lodge Thursday, Oct 1.
