BOW WILLIAMS Automobile and General Insurance Budget Payment Plan Strong Stock Companies 624 LAMAR, AUSTIN GReenwood 2-0545 Let’s Abolish the Poll Tax! THE MEMOIRS OF A REVOLUTIONIST, by Dwight MacDon ald. Farrar, Straus and Cudahy, New York, 1957. $4.75. Dwight MacDonald came to the revolutionary \(by which he means the 1930’s and ’40’s with odd passports: a fashionable, upper class prep school, Yale, six months as a member of the “Executive Training Squad” of R. H. Macy’s department store, a stretch on the editorial staff of Fortune, which he left as the depression began when a copy editor deleted a quotation from Lenin’s Imperialism with which he had begun an article on the U. S. Steel Corporation, and “because I had grown tired of writing for Fortune … whose mental horizon now seemed restrictive, and I had accumulated some savings and my wife had an income from a trust fund.” Loose from Luce, Macdonald flitted, like a dilletante honey bee, through the political blossoms blooming all ’round in the heady air of the New Deal’s infant years: he gave pay parties for. Tom Mooney’s defense fund, for Southern sharecroppers, for the Theatre Union, flirted from the parlor with Stalinist Marxism; left Stalin for Trotsky \(because of the ted to the liberal weeklies, the Communist avant-garde literary magazine, Partisan Review, the Trotskyite theoretical monthly, The New International. Finally, moving rather like that fabled bird that flew in ever-decreasing circles, he founded a one-man magazine, Politics, and began writing the polemics collected in this book. The essays range the world over; there are iconoclastic judgments on the “myth” of war guilt, General George Patton, Franklin Roosevelt, Henry Luce, Sherwood Anderson, Stalinism, Trotskyism, the Soviet cinema, “howtoism,” the Bible, religion, U. S. Steel … everything, everybody was mounted under the MacDonald microscope. The book is engaging, witty, Even brilliant. Like that other aging enfant terrible, Orson Wells, Macdonald sometimes is in control of his talent. And even when he is not, his performance is tricky and fascinating it’s like watching an Eskimo play Chopin with his mittens on. The essays are of course dated, but nonetheless much fun to read in spite of the author’s jarring introductory notes which betray a graceless nostalgia and a belief the movers and shakers, our the Compleat Thinkers”: “Things have changed. We are less interested today in radical politics that is, parties, programs, ideologies that assume a radical \(in the sense of going to old order. Indeed, one might almost say that we aren’t interested at all, and that this kind of politics no longer attracts intellectuals \(who, since the time of Babeuf and Saint-Just, have normally been the most energetic propounders of radical ideas as well as the most faithful audinot to put too fine a point on this, ignorance of the present younger generation about these matters is striking, and a little depressing, to one who, like myself was young in the thirties.” L. J. More Platero AUSTIN The University of Texas Press shortly will order a third printing of 6,000 to 10,000 copies of Platero and IEloise Roach’s translation of Spanish Nobel Prize winner Juan Ramon Jimenez’, poems about his “soft, gray” donkey. UT Press director Frank Wardlaw said Platero “has caught on beautifully” and “looks like the kind of a book well be selling a lot of foralong time.” The book’s first printing, 5,000 copies, sold out within two weeks of publication on Aug. 12. A second printing, 6,000 copies, is about 50 per cent sold. An authorized British version is to be distributed in the United Kingdom for the UT Press by Thomas Nelson and Sons, Edinburgh, Scotland. Wardlaw said the book had received “80 or 90 more than favorable reviewssome of them were ecstatic.” He said he had received an offer from a comic strip syndicate thinking about Platero as a comic strip character and another offer from a doll manufacturer thinking about “Platero dolls.” LEGALS NOTICE OF SALE THE STATE OF TEXAS COUNTY OF TRAVIS BY VIRTUE OF AN ORDER of an order of sale dated and issued pursuant to a judgment decree of the 53rd Judicial District Court of Travis County, Texas, by the Clerk of said Court on said date in a certain suit, No. 107,007, styled Mattie Lawson, et al and to me directed and delivered* as Sheriff of said County, I have on September 6, 1957, at 8:28 A.M., seized, levied upon, and will on the First Tuesday in November, 1957, the same being the 5th day of said month, at the Courthouse door of said County, in the City of Austin between the hours of 10 o’clock a.m. and 4 o’clock p.m. on said day, proceed to sell for cash to the highest bidder all the right, title and interest of the defendants in such suit in and to the following described real estate levied upon as the property of said defendants, the same lying and being situated in the County ofTravis and the State cf Texas, to wit: All that certain lot, tract or parcel of land lying and being situated in the County of Travis, State of Texas, known and described as follows: Lot number vision of a part of Outlot Sixty government tracts adjoining the original City of Austin, according to the map or plat of said subdivision recorded in Volume 1, page 32 of the Plat Records of Travis County, Texas. or upon the written request of said defendants or their attorney, a sufficient portion., thereof to satisfy said judgment, interest, penalties and costs, subject, however, to the right of redemption, of the defendants or any person having an interest therein, to redeem the said property, or their interest, therein, at any time within two years from the date of sale in the manner provided by law, and subject to any other and further rights to which the defendants or anyone interest therein may be entitled, under the provisions of law.
