Wand Phone 1565 Albany, Ore, FOR SALE USED 6-FOOT Gas Refrigerator Only In Good Condition STORE HOURS: 9 to 5:30 Daily; 9 to 9 Friday Book Briefs And Best Sellers By CHARLES ALEXANDER "This is a book without an author, just as it is a story without an end," begins foreword of Du Pont, the story of one of America's most notable business ventures, which Scribner's will release Monday. Unlike most historical accounts, which give the impressions of a detached viewpoint, this is a book written from the inside out. It is intended not as formal history but as a living record. Generations of men and women played parts in the development of the company from a single powder mill on the Brandywine to a national institution, and generations were to contribute to the present chronicle.

When Eleuthere Irenee Du Pont laid the first stones for a small mill in 1802 he was not consciously founding an empire. He was a political, as well as economic refugee from the excesses of the French Revolution. His family had been of the aristocracy, though not heavily landed or wealthy, and not of the petty nobility. Nevertheless he felt the need for room to grow in and the chaotic instability of France had little to promise. America attracted men like Du Pont because the principle of individual liberty had been won and written into the new federal government in blood.

Invention, enterprise and development were to flower here for precisely the same reasons that they were to wither elsewhere in the world-because they could flourish only in soil enriched by the organic fertility of freedom. With the new political principle chad been born a new. economic credo so startling that it is, even now, misunderstood in many parts of the world. This was the concept that the way to get a job done was to offer inducements and incentives for accomplishment. The notion elsewhere in the world was that necessity was the most efficient goad, so to make men work you must keep them poor.

The new idea was to replace spur with the promise, so that the hope of reward would unleash the energies and talents of men. In a brief century and a half the growth of Du Pont has paralleled the growth of Americaboth now are dominating giants, This industrial growth on the part of Du Pont, using it as an example of bigness, has led to many tions about the virtue, or otherwise, of bigness and this problem is a one now. Another book recently published, Democracy and the Economic Challenge, by Robert M. MacIver, Knopf $2.50, examines the arguments and finds: "Under the laissez-faire liberalism of the 19th century, regulatory power was denied so completely to the state that something close to a new absolutism was established in the hands of the owners of industrial wealth." The new doctrine "refused to comprehend the fact that economic power can be as coercive and as cruel as political power." The task of the 20th century, the author believes, is to establish a workable combination of public authority and private power without total dominance by either. But Du Pont practices have clung close to their original concepts.

The business is governed by a nine-man committee under authority of a 33-man board. This appears unwieldly, but it is explained by two benchmarks of policy. First, "just as the old partnership was composed of men who grew up in the mills, Du Pont's board is made up largely of men who have spent their lives MORE FOR YOUR MONEY Milk MILE IS ALL FOOD even the last drop bottle.

Second, most members of top management are important stockholders; ownermanagement is a fundamental that has survived since 1802. With "enlightened self such a strong factor, the company moves with "rare singleness of purpose." Management conceives its first duty is to "provide an environment and an incentive through which Du Pont people at all levels can find expression for individual achievement." If this somewhat begs the question, it does appear to work in this instance. The book, admittedly a "house" or institutional job, is striking in its physical format.

Large, flat and of desk-top form, it is naturally bound in Du Pont "PX" cloth. The form gives display room for the many pictures of early and late Americana, applying not only to the company but to the whole scene of the nation and selected to show the stages of growth, the changing needs of the nation and its people. Just about every thoughtful angle is covered. As well as being a casehistory, the "autobiography" is in fact an American industrial history shorn of argumentative depths and easily understood. It is of interest and importance, whether one believes in the goodness of "bigness" or whether one just isn't sure.

Du Pont-The Autobiography of an American Enterprise. 138 pp. New York: Charles Scribner's Sons. $5, TIMELY, ANYWAY Roland N. Stromberg, who instructs in history at the University of Maryland, couldn't be more timely than he is with his just published Republicanism Reappraised, for Republicans at the very moment are doing a lot of self-examining.

Nor could Mr. Stromberg have hardly been more hazy in his findings. He does well enough in his setting: In electing Harding the Republicans adopted isolationism in foreign policy, laissez faire in domestic matters at a time when a changing world was "preparing the graves of these venerated ideas." Stromberg finds, then, that the GOP has remained chained to a "dead doctrine," unwilling to "come to terms with the facts of life." How would he cure all this? Here come the meaningless generalities: The GOP must "accept the verdict of history" and "go forward, not they should get hold of "a large and living idea," put together "a new and different" program. What about the many Americans who oppose expansion of government power? What tack shall the "new" Republican party -as of yesterday-take on the "real- Albany Democrat- Herald Pare I istic national planning" Stromberg advises? Is that me-tooism and is it acceptable in the party ranks? One thing about the book, to repeat: Its publication is at least timely and no argument about it. Republicanism Reappraised--By Roland N.

TALK ABOUT BOOKS The Joe College of Held's Angels, to be published Oct. 16 by Crowell, is not bald but balding, not plump but no longer lithe, not rich but comfortably fixed. Joe miraculously survived the jazz era but loudly deplores the irresponsibility of American youth today. He is a composite fictional character Frank Gilbreth has created for his text accompanying John Held nostalgic cartoons.

Frederick J. Pohl asserts that the Vikings, in their last American tour, prowled up the Nelson and Red rivers into Minnesota, He thinks they died there at the hands of Indians, but left their spoor behind them. In his The Lost Discovery, to be published by Norton in September, Pohl reveals a vast amount of historical detective work as fascinating as seemingly real. Markham Harris' High Morning Fog is listed by its publishers, Lippincott, as a comedy of human relations. As summer reading it supplies a cheerful and civilized handling of people with good manners and morals no more flexible than the average.
