"It was as clean as such a place could possibly be," said Hayes, "but just the same it's not a fit place for a family of that size." Hayes said he wanted to find better quarters for the family but ad mitted it would be difficult in a city which he said was already short a thousand or more homes. Fraternal and civic organizations have taken an interest in the family's plight and Hayes is hopeful something will develop.

The last Council meeting at tended by Wilson waa held August 7. Wilson became ill soon afterward.

He expected to attend a meeting the day before Thanksgiving, hy told friends, but was stricken that day and died in a few hours. The August 7 meeting was one of the longest on record. Albert D. Cash, Charter minority leader, had renewed an effort to have Council investigate the desirability of municipal ownership of the Cincinnati Gas Electric Co. Wilson, though a Charterite, had helped to defeat Cash's attempt.

Finally, as the meeting was about to wind up, Cash tried again, At this point Wilson arose and declared that Cash had called an editorial writer a certain Sloan Chairman, General Motors Corp: "Today labor has become a monopoly and something is now going to be done about it. The Sherman Act has not destroyed business nor any association oi business. Its principles, ii applied to unions, will net destroy unions.

Fort Wayne, Dec. 19 (AP) In the Christmas spirit, men of good will today sought a new home for Bebe Ana Gamez, born two weeks ago in as humble a place as that in which the Christ child came into the world 20 centuries ago.

Bebe Ana was ushered into life, not in a manger but in a seven by twelve-foot coal bin with her 13-year-old sister, Maria, assisting the mother at the accouchment. The story of Bebe Ana, the eighth child of Antonio Gamez, 40-year-old itinerant worker, and his 32-year-old wife, Faustina, was brought out when the mother, suffering from an infection after childbirth, was taken to a hospital along with the baby. Antonio, a native of Mexico but a naturalized U. S. citizen, sought the aid of the Associated Catholic Charities.

Then Walter F. Hayes, township trustee, began an investigation. He said he learned that the Gamez family was living in the coal bin in the basement of the home of a fellow countrymen. Gamez had rented the bin for $40 a month, Hayes said, when the family came here a few weeks ago from Berne, where the father had been working in a tomato-packing plant. Gamez speaks little English but through an interpreter he told Hayes he was well satisfied with his basement home and that he wanted to remain in Fort Wayne, where his children would have an opportunity to get a good education.

"I want my. little family to live here," he said. "Here they have a better chance." And Roberto, the eldest son, said: 'Anyway we are not cold. See, we are right next to the furnace." The bin served as the dwelling for the father and mother and sev en children Roberto, 17; Rodolfo, 16; Maria, 13; Pasquale, 12; Lorenzo, Gilbert, 4, and Juan, 2. A two-burner gas plate was used for cooking.

Furniture included a chest in which food was kept, a clothing rack, three straight-backed chairs, a swinging shelf holding some religious objects, a mattress set up on trestles and an iron Armv cot. A pane of glass fitted into what was once the coal chute opening served as a window. On the rough board walls hanging in a homemade contrivance were several tooth brushes. Agreeable Companion THE ELUE FLOWER. Edited and with an introduction by Her mann Kesten.

Roy Publishers. Hermann Kesten, who wrote The Twins of Nuremberg" and Ferdinand and Isabella," has here collected 45 stories from 13 coun tries, which he subtitles "Best Stories of the Romanticists." They are all tales of the 19th century, and Romanticism was, says Kesten, second only to the Renaissance, the greatest artistic revolution in the Western World. He believes them to be among the best and most beautiful every told, and is in love with every one of them. France, England and Germany have the largest representation, and we find, among others, Sten-dahrs "Vanina Vanini," Merimee's "Mateo Falcone" and "The Mar quise" by George Sand, as well as tales by Mussett and Victor Hugo. From England there is Leigh Hunt's "Tale for a Chimney Corner," a letter by Byron, "The Superanimated Man" by Charles Lamb and Southey's "A Love Story." The German section In cludes Gothe, Schiller, Heine and Grimm.

Austria has one story by Grillparzer, and Switzerland one by Keller. But there are three from Russia, one of them a chap- ter from a novel by Lermontov. Holland. Hungary, Spain and Denmark each contribute a story there are three unfamiliar ones from Poland and two from Italy, one of the latter being a chapter from Manzoni's "Promessl Sposi." The American section comprises Poe's "Gold Bug," Irving's "Rip Van Winkle" and Hawthorne's "Great Stone Face," not, surely, an unusual selection, but for novelty there is Melville's "Town-Ho's Story." Most, but not all, of these col lected stories are, of course, love stories, typical in style and man ner of the great romantic period of which tho editor is so enam ored. But there are also ghost stories and fairy tales intermingled.

The translations are the best available, and the large volume is pleasantly illustrated by Czerman- ski. and makes an agreeable com panion for your bedside table. Frederick W. Stlx. Brilliant Study BY VOTE OF THE PEOPLE.

By Willis J. Balllnger. Scribner's, All throug history men have been struggling toward political and economic freedom, achieving some measure of it, and then losing it. More often than not, they have lost their freedom, not by the vio lent overthrow of free govern ments, but by vote of the people. Such i3 the challenging thesis of Mr.

Ballinger, set forth in a carefully decumented study of the ups and downs of liberty through the ages. From Greece and Rome down through the Venetian and Florentine civilizations, the author traces the persistent link between polit leal freedom and competitive capitalism, and traces also the disillusionment of free men which leads them to vote away their heritage of freedom in the hope of finding an easier way to security. Coming to American capitalism, he ana lyzes it in two major phases the competitive economy of the cen tury preceding the Civil War, and the succeeding period of rapid in dustrialization, declining agricul ture and concentration of wealth. Mr. Ballinger is a defender of capitalism, believing that men cannot long remain free under any other economic system.

But he does not attempt to defend the monopolistic capitalism of recent decades, which tends to collapse and invite ever-increasing govern ment intervention authoritarian government in lieu of democracy, Although there is a wealth of pertinent material, brought to To Accuse Attlee Party Of Incompetence, Tyranny And Conceit, He Says. London, Dec. 19 (INS) Winston Churchill announced tonight that he would try to unseat Britain's Laborite government next month! on charges of "tyranny, conceit and incompetence." The wartime Prime Minister's an- nouncement was considered a tactical maneuver to air conservative grievances against the Attlee government. There was no indication that he felt that the Laborites with their overwhelming House of Commons majority, could be unseated. The Labor strength was fully in evidence last night when the gov- ernment shoved through its trans port nationalization bill.

The Laborites today announced details of a bill to control farms Farmers who don't like the gov ernment measures can be evicted. Churchill registered his formal protest by serving notice that he would ask for time for debate on a vote of censure when the House reassembles in late January. TO INCLUDE TYRANNY. Herbert C. Morrison, Laborite House leader, asked Churchill: "On what grounds?" Churchill said the forthcoming charges would "include tyranny, conceit and incompetence." Conservatives said that Church ill's protest move was due to Morrison's tactics on the transport bill bitterly resented by the opposition.

Churchill wants a full Commons committee to consider the third, or amendment, stage ot the bill. Morrison insists that only a standing committee of 50 consider it. The 50 committeemen are to be chosen in proportion to their party strength in the house. Anthony Eden, former Foreign Secretary, vainly challenged the government on this point last night The Laborites approved second reading of the bill by a 362 to 204 vote. Independent Nationals joined the Conservatives in opposition.

It was the first time the opposition had mustered more than 200 votes in combatting the Laborite's swift program of nationalization. TO COST FOUR BILLIONS. The transport bill will cost the government more than $4,000,000,000. It will affect 1,500,000 workers. Eden declared it a "national disaster" measure.

The Conservatives also are protesting strenuously a Treasury measure to control currency. This would restrict the transfer of currency abroad permanently. Tha Conservatives want this only to be temporary. The white paper outlining the agricultural bill termed it "a ladder whereby agricultural workers can rise from the rank3 and become farmers on their cwn account. Paradoxically, -conservative criticism of this bill centers only on details.

Th-J farm bill would entitle the government to "direct" good farmers, dispossess those adjudged inefficient and nationalize undeveloped land. The government intends to make home agricultural production essential part of Britain's economy. The bill gives the ministers of Agriculture widespread and in-Creased controls on 01 Temperance Dae At This Christmas Party Like other children's Christmas pr.rties, the one to be held Sunday aftc-noon at 405 Oak St. will have a Santa Claus, a Christmas tree and plenty of ice cream and cake.

When Wilson repeated the word it was the first time that it ever had been used at a Council meeting, despite the bitter quarrels that often take place there. The editorial writer had written an editorial which had appeared that day in the paper for which Wilson himself wrote editorials for many years. This writer had brought Cash's remark to Wilson's attention at the meeting.

The editorial criticized Cash's effort to revive the municipal ownership issue. Addressing Council, Wilson upheld the right of the press to express opinions, whether favorable or critical, upon the official conduct and actions of any public official, including Councilmen. "I demand an apology to this man for the insult to him," Wilson concluded. His demand brought no reply from Cash and the meeting adjourned sistance" included 15,000 to 20,0.0 well-armed men under leaders of recognized military genius. They are supported, he said, by large groups within Haganah, the mod-crate underground army, so that an active force of 50,000 to men can be mustered.

British estimates have put the Stern gang's strength at loss' than 6G0, and the strength of the Irgun at 2,000. Ziff said that these organizations "have asked me to say that they will retaliate if they are made the object of a witchhunt. They are determined there shall be no more talks with the British until pressure and persecution ceases in Palestine. If the leadership here persists in collaboration, then the executive will be regarded as Quisling." Information provided him, he said, indicated the British were pursuing an anti-Semitic policy in Palestine. The British, he asserted, arc "Picked anti-Semites many from the former Oswald Mosley (British Fascist leader) faction" for the Palestine police.

STRIKE ABUSES Assailed By Stassen Who Promises To Campaign For Approval Of Amendment To Wagner Statute. South St. Paul, Dec. 19 (UP) Harold E.

Stassen, Repub lican presidential candidate, said to day that the Wagner Act should be amended, because it established "unfair practices" for employers but not for labor. Stassen, the first declared candidate for the GOP nomination, said he would campaign for an amend ment to the act "for the protection" of both labor and employers and to provide "a curb against strike abuses In an interview, the former Minnesota Governor and Naval Commander advocated adoption of a national labor law similar to one he fostered hi Minnesota. The Min nesota law provides for a "cooling off" period before a strike can be called. "Legislation abolishing strikes w.uld not be effr but there should be a curb against strike nbu.ses," Stacsen said. He said he hoped soon to extend his political organization to other states and that his early emphasis would be on labor-management policies.

So it is appropriate that the pub lishers should add this collection of his shorter pieces to their Black and Gold Library, which is devoted to classics from the time of Plato down to the present. The collection includes "The Abbess of Castro," "The Duchess of Palliano," "Vanina Vanini," "Vittoria Accor-amboni." "The Cenci," and "Ar-mance." Stendhal's "The Red and tha Black" is sometimes considered the first novel to depend for its interest upon action within the mind. As such, it has had great influence on the history of fiction since Stendhal wrote.

The minor novels here are interesting examples of their author's probing, searching psychological approach to his characters, and offer an excellent introduction to a reading of his masterpieces. Tom D. White. Fascinating Glimpse BEHIND THE IRON CURTAIN, By George Moorad. Fireside Press.

Some of the finest of American newspapermen did their poorest work as Moscow correspondents. The reason is that they were completely unable to pierce the protective silence of the average Russian or the bureaucratic blockad-s of Russian officialdom which refused these correspondents free access to either the Russian front or to important rear areas where anything could be found out. Having overcome these handicaps and prepared a news story or radio broadcast with news value or significance, the everpresent censor either held or changed the dispatch until its meaning or timeliness had vanished. A veteran reporter and radio man, Moorad arrived in Moscow on a combined writing and broadcasting assignment in October, 1944, and flew back to the United States with Ambassador Harriman to cover the United Nations' Conference in San Francisco. In absorbing pages Mr.

Moorad reveals the iron-handed autocracy of Russian Government, the dreary and never-ending battles with the censors, the hardships of wartime and inflation in the proletarian homeland and the intimate, interesting details of the daily life of a Moscow correspondent.

Ethel Ed-, wards. -William B. Ziff of New York, self-styled spokosmarJpr the Stern gang and the Irgun Zvai Leumi of Palestine, said today that any additional collaboration with the British by loaders of the World Zionist organization would cause Immediate civil war in the Holy Land. "These people have asked me to state that any attempt to compromise the Jewish claim to all of Palestine by enforcing a partition or any further collaboration with the British to end active resistance they are not the word 'terrorist' is a British invention will be the signal for immediate civil war," Ziff said. Ziff said he spoke as "an individual American citizen" and not in his capacity ns a delegate to the World Zionist Congress here from the violently anti-British Zionist Revisionist party.

A New York publisher, he is author of the book "The Rape of Palestine," I which purports to tell the truth regarding British policy in the i Holy Land. An official spokesman for the Zionist Congress warned cones- pondents that Ziff "speaks for a small minority" and urged them to treat his statement with caution. I gether at the cost of prodigious labor, there is lacking in this volume a clear demonstration that the deterioration of competitive capitalism has come "by vote of the people." It is shown, in numerous cases, that men have usually voted away their freedom. But even if persistent majorities for the New Deal are interpreted as a willing abandonment of free dom (which is debatable), the crux of this problem lies in the breakdown of our competitive economy and the emergence of monopoly capitalism. This happened long before the New Deal.

In a word, here la a book far more valuable for Its brilliant historical studies of capitalism and self-government than for its interpretation of our American economy of today. William H. Hcssler. For The Laity ARE YOU CONSIDERING PSY CHOANALYSIS? Edited by Karen Homey. Norton.

The Association for the Advance ment of Psychoanalysis was founded in May, 1941. Community educa tion in this field was given as one of its aims. In 1942 a group of interested laymen organized the Auxiliary Council for the Association. This council has spomorai lectures on psychoanalysis for the laity. One of these courses vvi8 entitled: "Are You Considering Psychoanalysis?" The interest in these lectures led to the publication of this book; the royalties are to forward the purpose of the council.

The premises of these contributors are essentially the same. Hence there is unity throughout these pages. Individuality, however, is shown in the way that each contributor blends the basic tenets of psychology. This diversity has been enhanced In the use of details, in points of emphasis, and also in literary style. The contributors are Barbu, Horney, Ivimey, Kelman, Kllpatrick and Martin.

This book is directed to those who may be considering analysis for themselves, friends, or relatives. Here is help for any neurotic as to his attitudes, conflicts, difficulties, disturbances and fears. Paul B. Clark. Some Stendhal THE SHORTER NOVELS OF STENDHAL.
