NEAL ELLSBERG'S NOVEL OF NAVY, 'MID WATCH' Most readers will feel that Edward Ellsberg's novel Watch" (Dodd, Mead; $3) must be at least partially based on histor ical fact. With the armored cruiser Manhattan making an all-out trial run in April, 1909, a young ensign named Vic Cushing is caught between the devil and the deep blue sea, so to speak. He has to decide, under almost unbearable stress, between the fundamental naval law of obedience to orders and the code of naval regulations The second half of Adm. Ellsberg's story taken up with the defense of Cushing's valorous decision, at a court-martial; incidentally, the author has portrayed quite a character in old Judge Rice. The style est direct and vigorous, and the story keeps moving, but the realistic, depiction of certain Navy types could arouse resentment in official circles.

Roosevelt: The Second Volume Of Frank Freidel's Biography of Late President Discusses Early Setbacks and Their Effect In his "Franklin D. Roosevelt: The which published about a ycar ago, Frank Freidel proved, himself to be not only a brilliant historian but also gifted writer.

Roosevelt: The Ordeal" (Little Brown; $6), the second of a projected six-volume life of the late President, Dr. Freidel continues his massive biographical undertaking' with the same high level of scholarship and objectivity. Political Hopeful The author, with his usual balanced dispassionate approach, here gives an intimate and detailed portrayal of Mr. Roosevelt from the end of his.
Navy. career to his election as governor of New York 1928. For the country as a whole these were important postwar years of: economic readjustment. For the Republican party this was the era of political leadership, Harding "normalcy," and "Coolidge prosperity." For the Demo cratic it was a bleak and grim period of factional strife and thwarted ambitions and meanderings. But for Franklin Roosevelt it was a period in which "the lure of political adventure" became an almost staggering fascination: As far back as 1919, he was more than A shadow in American politics.
In a leading editorial at this time, the New York Sun, looking over Democratic possibilities, proclaimed that the young Assistant Secretary of Navy "might prove a standard. bearer to be reckoned with by the opposition party in 1920." On the surface at least, F. D. R. side stepped and side tracked moves to place his name among presidential aspirants.
But, as Dr. Freidel accurately. notes, "Roosevelt, bearing the name that he did, and possesing a degree of ambition, would not have been human if he did not have the presidency in the back of his mind as an ultimate goal." National Stature Indeed. 1920 Roosevelt was to be the Democratic candidate for Vice-President on the unsuccessful national ticket led by James Cox. Far from despairing, "There was reason for him to feel gay as he began to analyze the results, since for him the net result of the campaign was considerable gain, not loss.
He had won national stature. Numerous politicians in section of the country knew him F. D. R. was now looking personally, and liked and admired ed forward--to an inevitable meeting destiny.
With deep fceling and understanding the author describes painful intrusion that befell the Roosevelt family Wednesday, Aug. 10, 1921. Vacationing at Campobello, the Roosevelts were on this day sailing in their small yacht. Sighting a forest fire on one of the islands, they went ashore to help put it out. 'Late in the afternoon we brought it under F.
D. recalled. 'Our eyes were 'bleary with smoke; we were begrimed, smarting with spark-burns, The remedy, Roosevelt thought, would be a swim. with his children he dogtrotted two miles along the hot, dusty roads across the island of Campobello, swam across a narrow fresh-water lagoon inside the beach, and dipped into. the frigid waters of the Bay of Fundy." Two days later Roosevelt was in pain, unable to stand, and had lost the paterer to confirmed move his that legs.
the Specialists disease was. infantile paralysis. Eye On White House Such untimely and crippling misfortunes have often dashed the hopes and aspirations of other men. Yet, as Dr. Freidel shows, it was with renewed vigor and determination that F.
D. R. courageously resolved to pursue his course. "He felt that must have been shattered and spared for a purpose beyond his knowledge." In the following years, paralysis did not deter him from actively taking side on political issues, giving opinions on sundry subjects, attending political conventions, and becoming a close adviser of Democratic leaders, including Alfred E. Smith.
That Roosevelt had no interest in becoming President is labeled as "political applesauce" by the author. As Dr. Freidel well brings out. F. D.
R. was "frankly opportunistic," and with the dedicated help of Louis Howe, Rooseveltian ambition became an allimportant and purposeful one. Thus it was that by the 'end of 1928 Franklin D. Roosevelt had taken part in the losing campaign to elect Alfred Smith as President, and had himself been chosen governor of Now York. The Roosevelt star was radiating, and Dr.
Freidel concludes: "Roosevelt's ordeal was had regained the use of this legs, but what was far more. important he had mastered his physical handicap made a snectacular political comeback." GEORGE A. PANICHAS Best Sellers ruthenium. go along for the ride. D.

D. B. 'Tidal 'The Bottom of the Rico' Tales by As a writer. Georges Simenon moved deliberately from the milieu of the police story, centered in the activities of his detective Maigret, into the realm psychological novel of crime- -his concern not for the crime itself but for the mutations of emotions which led to the act of violence. Hereto- GEORGES.
SIMENON fore the scene of his novels has been European, but in "Tidal Wave" (Doubleday; $3.95) he has centered his action: in America, where he himself now has residence. Three Novellas Interestingly enough, with the change of scene there is a subtle tightening and quickening of literary tempo, an Americanization of style, which heightens the intellectual perceptiveness of this prolific writer. "Tidal Wave" as a title is symbolic of the essence of the books three novelle "'The Bottom of the BotItle" and "The Brothers Each is a study in morbid violence, and each is brilliantly distinctive in character. Although the setting of "Belle" is comfortable suburban Connecticut, the scene could as easily be on the European continent, but "'The Bottom of the Bottle" and "The Brothers Rico" are integrated Americana. No native-born American novelist could have mirrored more accurately the mood and flavor of the chosen scenes.
It is as though Simenon searches beneath the 'national skin of men of all races, seeing them clearly as victims of specific environment, but moved Wave Bottle' and 'The Georges Simenon by passions and faiths which are universaliticult to select the most engrossing of the three novelle, but there is no question of their high merit. In. Belle Simenon has presented a7 pure psychological study practically devoid of action until the final climactic pages. It a step be: by step dissection of the stages in the disintegration the schoolteacher, Spencer Ashby, whose quiet: home Belle is found murdered. There is no real suspect but Ashby himself, and he only one who knows his own innocence.
But could be be a psychotic murderer? The question absorbs Ashby and draws him by slow, torturous steps of self-examination to his own destruction. The psychological implications the novelist develops in the weaving of his intricate mind study become almos unbearable their implications. Ancient Themes Both "'The Bottom of the Bottle" and Brothers Rico" stem from the morality of the Old Testament; the former an oblique application of the story of Jacob and Esau, the prerogative of the strong to protect the weak no matter how unworthy. In a superb blending intellectual revelation. and physical activity, the two brothers play the most vital scene of their lives an Arizona border district isolated by the a violence of the long-awaited rains and flash flood waters which make impossible the necessary crossing to Mexico.
Brothers Rico" reweaves the tragic implications of Cain and Abel against a muted background of Brooklyn gangsterism, and bepenetrating study in worthless loyalties and the instinct for self-preservation, both stronger than blood ties. "Tidal Wave" represents a partially, new aspect in Simenon's writing, but it can take high rank among his many books. L. S.

It is dull sociological a message, but rather a witty, let's-name-names treatment of a national problem. as the author points out, the Chicago Syndicate is only the Midwest branch of a nationwide crime cartel. He traces the growth of this cartel, from its beginnings with oldtime ward bosses to its current status, where it has holdings, Mr. Smith says, in such honest and lucrative businesses as hotels steel. But, he goes on, it is still the $2 bet to a bookie in the obscure restaurant, the half-a-buck daily wager on 'a number that never comes in, the "two-bits" paid to play 3 punchboard these, pennies added up that keep the syndicate in business.
And it is the ordinary American -who hates crime and criminals- -who gives away these pennies. Smith sums up by listing the 10- point program set up by various civic groups in Chicago, a program that would revamp the municipal government and clean up the city at the same time. R. M. F.

DONALD DERBY 'EIGHT BAILED OUT YANKS IN YUGOSLAVIA July, 1944, seems far away today, but for wartime experiences like those recounted by Maj.
James M. Inks "Eight Bailed Out" (Norton; $3). The major and his crew bailed out of a floundering Liberator into what was commonly referred to by European editorials as "Yugoslavia's civil stew pot." Returning home from a mission over Ploesti, Maj. Inks and bomber crew had no time to choose sides in the Chetnik VS. Partisan split then going on.
They did what most people with a will to survive would have done the most of an unfortunate situation. Their rescuers were Mihailovich's Nationalist Chetniks, had been recently snubbed for Tito's Partisans by Allied headquarters. Although the Chetniks were most hospitable to the Yank fliers, the airmen found these mountain guerrilla bands on the run and cose to join forces. The Yanks did not reach home base in Italy until months later, some time before which they met Gen. Mihailovich and were duly impressed.
The loyalty and gratutude behind the author's dedication of this book to the Chetniks may be emotional, not political. Still, under the circ*mstances, how could it be otherwise? R. M.

Nations and People Mr. White's method of presenting his facts is in itself unusual.
Part two of the volume contains chapters that summarize effectively the recent history of France, Germany and England. Following each, graphical of these chapters is a biostudy of a representative Frenchman, German and Englishman. By the use of this technique the author achieves a fine balance between a strictly historical and a biographical to his materials. In addition to his reports on dividual nations, Mr. White also with movements and problems of an international nature, such as communism, the EDC, and the potentialities for self-development that exist in Europe in the middle of the 20th century.
The nations of Europe have been undergoing a series of revolutions since the war, this book contends. Most of these revolutions have been gradual, almost imperceptible, but they have changed the face of Europe and the outlook of many Europeans. dramatically. The beginning of this transformation of the continent, the author believes, was due to American influence in the form of monetary and technical assistance. But much of the change has come about as a result of the activities of Europeans themselves as they continued to carry on where the Americans left off.

Arbuthnot went on a big-game safari to Africa in 1927 the veldt swarmed with game of all species. Hunters were not limited killing a specified number of animals. It was possible for a game-killer to hop into a truck, armed with variety of rifles, and shoot just about anything he wanted. Dr. Arbuthnot, a physician of note and a big-game hunter for more than 30 years, describes his adventures- in "African Hunt" (Norton; It appears that about everyone who.
has gone biggame hunting in Africa feels compelled to write a book about his experiences; this is one that can be skipped without compunction. In company with Fletcher and Kenneth Walker, then 22 and 21. respectively, Dr. compiled a numerically astounding total of kills. He describes in gory detail the shooting of lion, gazelle, zebra, deer, water buffalo, rhinoceros, and elephant, among others.
seems to have been little purpose in much of this slaughter, however. The doctor and his hunting companions evidently killed wantonly just for the sake of killing, though not without personal risk. They had no need for many of the animals they shot; it seems they merely peppered them with bullets to improve their marksmanship. indecodeeming factor of noteworthy the book- feature by far -is the inclusion of 86 photographs of the animals and people inhabiting Africa.
