McGivern In superior suspense story en- tilled "Seven Lies South," published by Dedd, Mend Company. It was a young American girl, Laura Meadows, purportedly a friend of his sister Bunny, who lured Mike into this strange adventure, and not until he was right in the middle of it did he realize that she was working with James Lynch, an Englishman in Spain on a month's holiday, and Don Willie, a fugitative from Hitler's Third Reich, who has made a lot of money as a contractor while living in Spain. Before Mike knew what was actually going on, he was compelled at gunpoint by Lynch and Laura to hijack a C-47 while in flight from the airport at the village of Miramar, where he had been living, to Rabat in Morocco. He was ordered to land the plane at a certain point in the and after that all kinds of strange things happened to Mike Beecher, to James Lynch, to Laura nnd also to Use, Don Willie's Austrian girl friend.

A New Study Of The Korean War A new study of the Korean War and General Douglas MacArthur has just been announced for immediate publication by Oxford University Press. It Is entitled "Korea and the Fall of MacArthur," and it has been written by Trumbull Higgins, author of "Winston Churchill and the Front." The author, the publishers point out, views the Korean conflict as the first concrete example of the concept of "Limited war" and described the war the threat of atomic warfare has revolutionized military plans and strategy. By fighting a limited war in Korea, the United States tried to prevent a full scale third world war, and at the same time, to stop further communist aggression in the Far East. The author states that: "The cflpncity of tile Truman Administration to transcend the national interest and lo WHRC war within the undeniably grave limitations of coalition policy affords the most significant achievement of the United Slates in the Korean War."
