The Conservatives won by a landslide, but Edelmaa retained his Labor seat. Then, returning to the United States, he concluded negotiations to dramatize his book for Broadway producers Robert Griffith and Harold Prince.

They want to begin rehearsals In August, which puts Edelman under considerable pressure. Why Uie rush? The answer is suggested by critics who have described "A Call on Kuprin" as 8 novel that takes place 'In the almost immediate tomorrow." In the novel a British M.

Soberly, he hopes for one achievement. "My.

Miss Baldwin has kept her past pretly clear of the mass-production blighl, but you can't write sixty six novels in one lifetime and fill them all with magic.

To aid commuters, a special Saturday inspection for their cars was arranged.

During the second week, the Police department moved Into industrial areas and visited schools. Commercial ve- hides, town trucks underwent the procedure. All who passed received their Stale of Connecticut stamp labelled "Inspected anil Approved, 1959."

The figures tell Iheir own story of the growing success of the safety program. In 1956, when the check-up began, 1,403 cars were inspected, moving up to 1,839 checked in 1957.

New York: Doubled ay and company. Out of a full private and professional Kathleen Norris, popular novelist, has culled a book of memoirs. The title is "Family Gathering" and while the members of her family assume the major roles in her life, she also includes the men and women, most of them writers, who were close to her ai friends and associates. At one In her book Mrs. Norris states that between the years of 1912 1945, she wrote more than Jeventy-five novels.

The record is even more astounding when she adds that together with this fabulous output, she also wrote short stories and, for a time, one newspaper article a week. KATHLEEN NORRIS, daughter of Josephine Sexton and James Alden Thompson, was born in San Francisco in 1880, one of six children. Through her paternal grandmother, Maria Theresa O'Keefe, she was part Irish. That strain with its imagination and wit undoubtedly played an important part in the character and the career of her gifted granddaughter. The family was Roman Catholic in religion.

Closest to Kathleen as child and adult was her younger sister, Theresa, who at one time in her life thought she lad a vocation for the church and, in fact, become a novice. Finding herself lacking, she left and later in life, at the age of thirty, married William Rose Benet, the poet. The two girls, Kathy and Tee, as they were called, shared a devouring interest in books and read everything that came to land. After the death of their parents, Theresa went to work in a book shop and Kathleen, after foundering about in several jobs, landed the social column, "the graveyard," as it was called in the San Francisco Call. This was the first step in her amazing career.

The second was icr marriage in 1909 lo Charles 3. Norris. younger brother of the 'amous Frank N'orris, author of the widely acclaimed "The Pit." IMMEDIATELY a their vcdding, the Charles Norrises' came to New York where they soon became members of the hen highly exciting literary fra- ernity. While Charles, known as -igi, first started as an editor, ic became known later as a novelist. Compared to his wife, he vas a slow writer--two years to ashion a book instead of the Iwo- i-year which was her But, as she comments generously, his vere more serious works and, rightly, given more serious critical attention.

She writes of the highlights of heir thirty-six years together- heir homes in.New York, Long sland, San Francisco, their trips ibroad, their work, their friends-- vith affection and humor. She recalls an incident in Sicily when heir maid, discovering that he vas not a Catholic, declared, 'The gracious signora married a "urk!" That remark, writes Mrs. Morris, became useful lo her in 'later mild domestic crises." Equally, if not more interesting han the family portraits, are the ketches of the figures who made ilerary history in early dec- des of this century. The whole! Mgonquin club and are! icre, among them, Dorothy Parker, Alec Woollcoil. F.P.A., George Kaufman, Harold Ross, Robert Benchley, Fannie Hurst, Edna Ferber.

The last makes the subject ot a charming anecdote in the book. To make amends for a seeming slight to her, Kathleen Norris inserted the following personal in a New York newspaper: "Edna, your folks from Cal. are lere. Charley is drinking again and Katy is fit to be tied. Come round right away." Edna came round.and all was well.

Bezucha with assistance from the staff of the National Council of the Boy Scouts of America. The big, delux Golden book is a comprehensive and complete collection of Boy Scout history, ore and practical information. It is illustrated with over 300 pictures--most of them in color, and includes ID-full full- color reproductions of "Norman Rockwell's famous Boy Scout calendar paintings--in book form 'or the first time. THIS IS NOT to imply that the primal urge of having a lady on ine's lap is represented as typical )f the Founding Fathers, but it you an idea. Mr.

Dos quaintly-titled tome is a random series of looks at one man after another (no vomen to speak of), copiously il- ustrated'with reproduction of old prints--a handsome, book, something like a TV 'spectacular." with familiar mmes and faces (195 of them, if care to count) endlessly coning and going. Browsing in it makes sense, bc- jinning in it anywhere you like. Much of it comprises entertaining, voluminous scraps lifted from the 'journals" which men of a bygone day seem to have been always writing. Some is from letters they wrote, the rest from Valley Forge Tale The Strong Men, by John Brick (Doubleday): The winter months of 1777-78 marked the low point of the American Revolution. Washington's ragged regiments, which had yet lo win in open battle, sat them out in a corner of Pennsylvania whose name they made famous Valley Forge.

Some men died and many deserted during that bitter winter, but about 8,000 stuck it out. These are strong, men of the title, the lard-core veterans Baron von Steuben transformed into an army that could lick the British. The narrator of this novel is Isl Lt. Matt Hill, who doesn't believe Ihe Americans have a chance But events change his mind. The personal narrative chronicles Malt's romances with two war widows.

It is an entertaining story and a carefully drawn portrayal of the heroic efforts that put the Continental army on the road to victory. PROJECTING THE IMAGE To become a public relations expert, says writer Irwin Ross, all you need is a typewriter, a mime)graph machine--and a client. his new book, "The Image Merchants," which Doubleday has published, Mr. Ross dissects typical campaigns of the biggest irms in the field, giving details of their operations in what was once called "the engineering of consent." Calling this definition (-self "a grievous PR blunder" ccause of its manipulative ring, Mr. Ross comments that no universally accepted definition of public relations has ever cmcrg' cd Dos Passes' typewriter.

Calling Peale a Jack-of-all is a sign of (he limes. Men. didn't specialize much. Before portraits became famous Peale repaired watches and' clocks, worked made harness and painted inn signs. Washington and many others were surveyors in their youth because in Iheir time they had (o survey before they could claim it and keep U.

"Toot" Fulton-Robert Fulton to you--reversed Pealc's experience: he painted minadires and portraits in oil before he went in for machinery and invented a steamboat. Many pages are given lo Fulton. "Steamboats," says Mr. Dos Passes, "were on everybody's mind. All the elements that would produce a successful steamboat were ready at hand.

A man wai needed with the necessary combination of skills to weld them into a successful commercial enterprise. This man turned out to be Toot." 'TOOT" WAS a name bestowed by Joel Barlow, a poet of whom you may never have heard. To him also many pages are given. One of the first things Fulton did when ho was in the chips was to publish his friend Barlow's "Co- lumbiad," with its grandiloquent introduction: "My object is of a moral and political nalurc. I wish to encourage and strengthen in the rising generation the sense of the importance of republican Institutions." "Fulton." says Mr.

Dos Passes, 'had come to believe that his steamboats would establish the freedom of the seas which would usher in (hose prospects of a golden age inaugurated by Ihe grcal principles of the Declaration of Independence."
