Reynold's book work of The Wounded Don't Cry by Quentin Reynolds Quentin Reynolds, ex-Brown university footballer, and now war correspondent for Colliers, has done as amazing a piece of re porting in this book as he did in his running reel narration "London Can Take It." "I arrived in Paris," he begins, in characteristic vein, "on May 10, 1940, which wasn't bad timing. Hitler marched into bar, the newly arrived reporter proceeded to cut his way through a snarl of French red tape by means of a phoney cable to "Dear Uncle Franklin with love to Aunt Eleanor," and got to the front in twenty-four hours instead of twenty-four days. He followed the retreat of the army from Flan ders to Paris under a rain of bombs. He watched the French government desert Paris for Tours, and then Tours for Bordeaux. m. Johnny .Presents m.

Talent bills A half million a week ($497,000 to be exact) is paid by radio spon sors for talent alone, exculsive of production costs, line changes and other charges incidental to financ ing a coast-to-coast broadcast, ac cording to a survey made by "Va riety," radio trade publication. Most expensive radio broadcast is Jack Benny's program, for Jell-O sponsors pay Benny and other stars on his program $18, 500 a week. Bing Crosby collects $12,500 weekly to pay "Kraft Mu sic Hall" talent. For his College of Musical Knowledge," Kay Ky ser gets $7,000 a week, and the talent bill for Fred Waring and his Pennsylvanians amounts to $12,000 weekly. brilliant pen . and Irish humor for a ship to take him to England under the freight car to escape the bombs that were dropping on the docks and yards. Two months later, in London, he wrote it. Meantime, he had managed to get into intimate touch with ap parently every aspect of the Brit ish "front" the bridge of a trawler on convoy duty around Hell's Corner; RAF airdromes where Spitfires and Hurricanes soared up to drop out of the sky on Messerschmitts and Dorniers, and where Whitleys take off with their tons of bombs for Hamburg and the Ruhr; air raid shelters in Whitehall and Whitechapel; muni tion factories; girls ambulance corps on night duty in burning London; above all in the pubs where the voice of England speaks more unequivocally than in Par liament. It is in that voice that he detects what seems to him the secret of England's defense her humor and her courage. "Revolving Reynolds." He has one chapter on Ireland. "I have a great-grandfather buried in County Donegal," he says at the end of it. "I'm sure if he has read this story he has turned over in his grave so many times that they already call him Revolving Reynolds." But I am sure that Great-grandfather Reynolds would have chuckled at the Irish audacity and resourcefulness, the Irish wit and Irish sentiment that runs through the vivid eye-witness account of frontline warfare which his de scendant has scrambled together in this book. I say "scrambled to gether" for it was written in six weeks and is a series of fragments. But it was scrambled together by a brilliant pen, guided by a seeing eye, a sense of humor, admiration and truth for what he saw, and a smouldering anger at the cause of it. BY PROF. S. B.

Suggest new tradition. A suggestion that the senior class begin a tradition by burying a Cornhusker, a file of the DAILY, and a class history under a stone labeled "1941" near the new li brary was delayed until the next meeting.
