An ex-Harvard student, Nash attended St George's school, Rhode Island, and later was a bond salesman In New York. He says, "I sold one bond in two years to my godmother."

AT EASE With the David Beaty, author of a recent Literary Guild "The Four Winds" (Morrow), reviewed Feb. 27 on this page, can plot his stories and characters only while he is in motion. If he can't manage to be on some moving conveyance, he walks.

This probably stems from the not so distant past when Mr. Beaty did his plotting while working as a pilot for the B. O. A. C.

After retiring from flying in order to spend full time on his he found he missed it and then did the next; best thing wrote a novel on fly lng. Although the action and characters were not drawn from real life, Mr. Beaty says "they just seemed to come to life naturally out of my flying Columbia university has a course called mystery writers of America which has a series of different instructors. Fred Levon, author of "Much Ado About Murder," is taking the course and he has one of his instructors headed straight for the electric chair. Some of the others are in, rather thinly disguised, he says.

Likely, the one he's sending to the chair didn't give him a good mark. Well, anyway, the story is about a missing student Nobody is much concerned lots of students at Columbia, it that's the imaginary locale. But when his wife disappears, it looks peculiar. Nosy police then move in on an instructor. A true semi-detective story is "Assignment: Churchill," by Walter Henry Thompson, Scotland Yard inspector, who for three different periods from 1920 through World War II was assigned to be Winston Churchill's bodyguard.

Quite a task it was keeping off over-zealous friends as well as enemies night and day. He became quite a traveler, this inspector, visiting 30 countries and attending which changed the world picture. Some were fun, he says some decidedly not The nuances of character we all know about the famous Winston, unexpected occasions bound to come up, dangers from buzz bombs and plenty of amusing stories are in the book. The prime minister was just plain stubborn about the buzz-bombs and Thompson would throw his arms around his charge and shove him inside a shelter or around a corner. i It made the prime minister angry.

Writes the bodyguard: "He would curse like the devil. He would glare at me long afterward."

Another Churchill History Prime Minister Churchill, who is an author in his spare time, has completed History of the English-Speaking Peoples," the Associated Press reports. The history, which Churchill began before World Wat IL will appear in three or four volumes, with the first expected early next year: It follows Churchill's five-volume history of World War on which he worked around. 10 years. Creative living Keynotes Book "Happiness Through Creative Living" by Preston Bradley (Hanover) stands out in-bold relief among the many books of today attempting to help people toward a sense of direction and achievement and aiming toward bringing them serenity and peace. Dr.

Bradley, pastor of the largest non-sectarian church in the United States, the 1 People's church, Chicago, has a daily TV program over a Chicago station. He is known not only in America but in Europe for his sermons and lectures. This new book, one of eight by the author, is based on Dr. Bradley's knowledge, through years of counselling and wide contacts, that "a man, guided by a sound philosophy, can control his life, determine the goal he wants for himself and achieve that goal." This philosophy he terms Creative Living. Definite steps are advised, beginning with a sincere self-examination as to needs and desires.

It involves prayer, faith, patterns of poise and control and regard for one's fellowmen, if one subscribes earnestly. Among the many precious truths and counsels set forth, a highlight relates to the obstacles to creative living with the enemies of worry and fear analyzed and given what the author terms "dehydration treatment" They are taken apart and treatments Jor both these universal maladies are, suggested. It is pointed out that worry may snowball to emotional dsiturbances unless the. cause, if there be a real one, be sternly faced and honestly met Prayer, faith and will power must help. Longfellow's line, "Our faith triumphant o'er, our fears" is a text for appraisal of fear as an enemy of reative living.

Dr. Bradley urges "make fear work for you. "The many kinds, of fear are analyzed the major ones, it is allayed by faith in God. Pasteur made fear work for him when he found a serum for injection for mad dogs. As a boy a mad wolf had bitten many peo-'ple in his village causing death, and until the scientist discovered a serum for rabies, he was unable to control his fear of the mildest Permitting mistakes or unhappy experiences of the past to tyrannize your thoughts is a third major disaster in the creative living pattern, a hostile factor sensibly dealt with.

Every age may find help in this book from teen-agers to those of the "golden years" as Dr. Bradley terms the late years of life. Little stories from his experiences or those of others, many amusing, none hackneyed, add to the fascination of this timely volume. ETHELYN SEXTON Conservation Needs Named As population Increases and more and more demands are made on our natural resources, warning voices are raised, calling attention to the need for better conservation. The alternative Is depletion and disaster for alt Water, soil, oil.

Iron, coal, timber and wildlife have come in for their share of attention by the conservationists in their alarm for the future. "In Water Or Your Life," Arthur H. Carhart went into detail to show how present demands on natural underground sources exceeded the supply and could reduce large areas of the country to desert, if the trend were not reversed. Now Carhart turns his attention to a closely related subject in "Timber in Your Life" (Llp- pincott), to show how fast we are running out of wood. Besides Ma 4Ka urn tor mtr forests are being ravaged by fire, and disease.

It is an interesting story of a situation which must be corrected or else Debut in. Record Patterns Termed ty one critic one of the year's most fascinating record items to date is Columbia's "Strange- to Your Ears," produced by Jim Fassett which play around with sounds.

Bruce Thompson (Wisconsin State Historical Society) Mr. Thompson's book on Matthew Carpenter offers a coveted opportunity to, meet a brilliant kindly and thoroughly human character.

The vitality of the author's style develops a rapid-flowing, pregnant narrative of the boy who grew up In a small Vermont town and later moved to the Rock River valley of the state to take up what was to become an Illustrious legal and political career. At the end Carpenter was the fiery United States senator from Wisconsin, and one of the best kown men in the nation. Whatever was vital in that formative reconstruction period that followed the Civil war was touched in some way by the all-embracing interest and restlessness of Matt The pages are impressed with the excitement of the struggle between the various political factions of that complex time at the end of the war when middle western towns were springing into existence, railroads were mushrooming, and America felt the first full impact of the gigantic Industrial revolution. It was a new life for this country and Carpenter was everywhere, trying to shape it Great men of that day were Carpenter's associates and opponents great men who were national figures and whose courage, wisdom or faults went into the All-Boy Recital Slated Tuesday The annual all-boy recital sponsored by the Music Teachers Guild of Lansing and East Lan-sing is to be 'given Tuesday at 7:30 p. m.

W) America knows Its music, but 'may find It hard to get to know Herbert von Kara Jan the man. When he leads the Berlin philharmonic orchestra to the United States for a 26-coneert tour, this lean and greying musician with piercing eyes and delicate fingers will bring with him an International reputation. Europe regards him as one of Its fine conductors, a possible heir to the greatness of late Wilhelm Furtwaengler. He has led orchestras In most of Europe, In South America and In Japan. Ha lives a cosmopolitan lite, dividing his time between London, Vienna, Berlin and Milan.

In the past North America has met him only through his recordings. But very few persons know much about Herbert von Karajan, the man apart from the musician except that he drives fast cars, pilots an airplane, likes mountains and hates the flash of pho-. tographers cameras. DEBUT AT 27 The Maestro background. BTZFZZ born in Salzburg.

Austria. April 5. 1908. son of a physician, studied at the Salzburg gymnasium and later In Vienna. When he was i he made his Mebut as a conductor with the Ulm Opera orcnesira.

One year later he began acquiring an international reputation from a concert tour in Italy and an enRajjemant In Vienna. In 1942. while war swirled over his homeland and Hitler ruled most of Europe, he quit the Nazi party. He still will not comment on his war-time actions. When the war ended and the Allies took over control of Austria, U.

S. oc-, cupation authorities briefly bar-, red him from the podium. But In 1946 he was named Kon-ert Direktor for life of the Vienna "Gescllschaft der Musik-freund" (Friends of Music and began a series of concerts called "Karajan's Cycles." He became permanent director of the Berlin State Opera, con-. ducted the Salzburg and Beyrouth festivals, and toured Europe. LOVES SPEED He turned down virtually all Invitations and preferred to eat simply in his home.

His austere mode of lfe has not extended to his transportation. He Is a sports car fan and drives fast. One day last winter von Karajan found himself pressed for time to get from the winter sports resort of Setiere to Milan, where he was due to direct "Lucia di that evening. Even a fast driver hardly can cover the distance In 90 minutes. Von Karajan did It in less than 60.

He also pilots a plane. Accord-. lng to one report he once made a crash landing near Nuernberg yet conducted at a Berlin concert a lew nuun loivi. In January von Karajan was In Milan, rehearsing for the La Scala production of "Carmen." Here Milanese came to know him. If they had not already done so, as an intense man, a perfectionist, an austere technician devoted almost entirely to his work.

Be-sides conducting the orchestra, he served as opera director.

Morris goes in for history of big fires and how they were handled. A Boston fire of 1872 gets a lively description; stories of one in New Orleans on a Good Friday, the burning of the national capitol by the British and an 1835 fire in New York surely turn back the pages. Illustrations dramatically por- tray the galloping, ever-ready fire horses and the engines belching fire and smoke.

S. C. Shows 2 Dimensional Sculptors' Art Now showing in the Union building gallery at Michigan State college is an exhibition of drawings, prints and collages by European and American sculptors of the 20th century, prepared by the Museum of Modern Art, New York.

This exhibition illustrates how artists of today work "directly that is, instead of working from preliminary sketches, printers and sculptors often develop their ideas during the actual working process, perhaps under impact of a momentary emotional experience.

BOOKS ef Aay rwiMfter. la er wet at Prist, See Eixirsa cscx izz? 191 E. WneMeaww 8t not cut short by "Time for me to say goodbye" and a station break. The book is a series of discussions of ways to have fun with your children experimenting together, enjoying the arts, dealing with relatives and friends.

Miss Frances wisely suggests how to enjoy living with children by seeing the child as a person-. ality, by preparing him for new experiences, by giving him a planned part in family activities. At first reading this may seem an extraordinary demand on the parent: psychological insight pre-planning, and patient guidance. It may mean seeing that John- -ny's dawdling over his corn flakes is perhaps his way of saying that he is uncertain about the new children and teacher at school rather than wilful rebel-, lion. It may mean explanations and repetitions about the dentist and maybe even a reconnaissance trip to his office when mother has her next appointment It may mean a batch of Chistmas cookies groaning under an overload of decorations when Jenny helps the family to prepare for the holidays.

It is, at first sight easier to banish the young child to his room while mother bakes or to wrap gifts while he sleeps. Yet the long-run advantages of integrating him into the family outweigh the single attraction of parental efficiency. I have rarely had to carry my three- year-old out of' stores in a screaming tantrum since I have started explaining ahead of time where we are going, why, how long, and whether he may buy anything. A boy of 15, accustomed to family planning, has already seriously planned for his professloa. For the child, then, the planning method seems to develop responsible attitudes.

For the parent it may mean more work. But even work can be fun with your children. And this book tells now. P. at.
