Edited by Ben FICTION TWO BY TWO, by David Garnett (Atheneum, $3:50) i The most unusual and extremely absorbing little story is based on the biblical story of the flood. Mr. Garnett has followed the Bible story with one vital exception: he has included two beautiful twin girls who stow away on the ark. Their fantastic experiences, living with the animals on the ark, escaping from Noah and watching the rebirth of our earth seem remarkably believable. In this beautifully written "idea," Mr.

Garnett has given the reader only a few hours (144 pages) of reading pleasure, hut many more hours of interesting puzzlement and meditation. A CANDLE IN THE SUN, by Marguerite Steen (Doubleday, $3.95) While on a lecture tour in the United States, George Ginever, 1 i sh novelist and playwright, falls in love with a young American actress. Although Ginever is already married, the urgency of this love forces him to realize the full extent of the arid and futile relationship with his wife. ever decides to return to England and ask for a divorce. His wife, Blythe, balks at the idea, for their marriage, thoughJove- ess, provides her witha secure and respectable facade; a facade necessary to'hide the nature of an abnormal affair.

With more than twenty five novels to, her credit, Miss Steen is an expert practitioner of her latest novel is fash ionably written, moves swiftly its inevitable conclusion, and provides diverting reading for a winter's evening. GENERAL CHAOS IN OUR COLEGES, by Morris Freedman (McKay, $4.50) Morris Freedman, Professor of English at the University of New Mexico, draws upon his experience as a student, faculty member, and observer in an attempt to analyze higher education in the United States. The essays are readable but of primary interest to those who are directly concerned with this level of academia. They range from a careful analysis of the problems in graduate education to a provocative indictment of Phi Beta Kappa and the changing values of society and its students. The title of the book is misleading.

After 241 pages of provocative study dealing with many types of problems, Professor Freedman concludes "that only a concerted effort to keep from fulfillment can prevent American academic life from attaining a hitherto unapproachable level of true greatness." This is not a prophecy of doom but is a logical conclusion of an analyst who has found considerable order and purpose in the educational profession and the institutions of higher learning. An understanding cf the pitfalls of college life may be the germ of profound insight and constructive programs of action. (Dr. Woods is dean of the College of Liberal Arts, Drake University) GOD'S OWN JUNKYARD, by Peter Blake (Holt, Rienhart Winston, $2.95 paper bound) In his foreword, Mr. Blake tells us his book is "not written in anger, it is written in fury" a fury he feels for the manmade ugliness of America's landscape.

As a lover of nature, he blasts the billboards, garish signs, junkyards, dumps and litter that mar the countryside. J. Gibson Jr. As an architect (he is editor of Architectural Forum magazine), he decries the lack of community planning and controls which have resulted in unsightliness in the cities. Mr.

Blake pins particular blame on politicians, land developers and the "fast-buck" attitude of many businessman. But we, the people, who permitted this deterioration must also share the blame. For that reason, Mr. Blake's book is not likely to evoke the howls of protest that greeted Rachael Carson's "Silent Spring," or Jessica Mitford's "The American Way Of Death." This is too bad, but one can hope Mr. Blake's work and fury won't be entirely wasted, and that a little action here and there will result.

The election will take place at 'the Iowa GOP state convention in Des Moines April 22. Wittenmeyer, a native of Centerville, is completing his second four-year term as committeeman. He is a lawyer.

Beatles Are For Girls in Their Teens By CYNTHIA LOWRY NEW YORK (AP) Anyone who is not a teen-age girl obviously is unqualified to comment on fhe sight of the Beatles in action.

Heaven knows we've heard them enough. It has been impossible to get a radio weather bulletin or time signal without running into "I Want To Hold Your Hand." Now, having seen the four performers on Ed Sullivan's CBS show Sunday night, Beatle- mania is even more of a mystery to an elderly viewer. They sing close harmony, stomp their feet and play electric guitars, but so do a lot of crew-cut American boys in slacks and sweaters, and the Americans cause no riots. Beatle clothes look about two sizes too small, and I've seen sheep dogs with more attractive hairdos. But thousands of squealing young girls get their message.

Camera shots of panting youngsters in Sullivan's audience were disquieting, in fact. Investigate Death Of Dubuque Man DUBUQUE (AP) Dubuque has assigned three policemen to work with a state agent in investigating the death of Francis J.
