a pseudonym is more or less a
dead issue, and tew authors
these days bother c~ J
their names- except in the mys-
tery field.
There are a variety of reasons
behind the use of pseudonyms,
and most of them serve a prac-
tical purpose. Only rarely does
snobbery enter the picture —
usually a "mainstream” writer
who feels that he’s slumming
when he writes a mystery, and
wishes to disassociate himself
from an "inferior” genre.
Most mainstream writers who
adopt a pseudonym for their
mysteries do so merely because
they feel that the contrasting
forms of writing that they do
should be clearly differentiated
by the device of a pseudonym.
This group Includes Canaday,

as “entertainments,” to distin-
guess the catch in ail four of guish them from his more seri-
ous works.
Some women mystery writers
feel that their books will sell
them—each involves a pseudo-
nym.
Frederick D a n n a y and
Manfred Lee are the two talent- better if they are not clearly
ed gentlemen— they’re cousins,
incidentally-who, for the last
four decades, have written the
brilliant novels and stories pub-
lished under the famous byline
£f Ellery Queen,
jt Carter Dickson is the nom de
«uerre of the great locked-room
mystery writer John Dickson
Carr.
The catch in the question
about Anthony Gilbert lies in
the possessive pronoun "his.”
Anthony Gilbert’s real name is
Lucy Beatrice Malleson.
John Canaday? Canaday is
the distinguished art critic of
the New York Times. But he is
also the author of four good
mystery novels written under
the pseudonym Matthew Head.
Authors have been using pseu-
donyms almost as far back as
the ancient papyrus writers,
and for a variety of reasons, not
the least of them being that au-
thorship rated low on the scale , ™_ ._
of social acceptability. Over the their publishers’ lists would be
centuries, however, tie profes-
sion has risen In esteem.
So this primary reason for .
concealing one’s identity behind sy< the English mystery novelist
whose fantastic productivity is
issued under more than, a half
changing dozen different names, the most
prominent being, in addition to
Creasy, J. J. Marric, author of
the “Gideon” Scotland Yard
series, and Kyle Hunt. Aaron
Marc Stein also writes as
George Bagby of the Inspector
Schmidt series, and Hampton
Stone. Donald Westlake writes
comic mystery novels under his
own name, crime novels under
the name of Richard Stark, and
a variety of thrillers as Tucker
Coe.
Others are Ross Macdonald,
perhaps the best of the hard-
boiled detective story writers,
who began publishing his mys-
teries under his true name, Ken-
neth Millar; Brett Halliday, au-
thor of the famous Mike Shayne
series, who began his career by
E BERLIN (AP) - The Berlin
Wall will be seven years old
Wednesday. It keeps getting
higher, tougher to cross, harder
to overlook.
In the past year, the East
. German authorities have
pushed work along 100 miles of
■ frontier with West Berlin, re-
placing the old wall with a new
■ and higher version.
7 This prefabricated "modern
K border” averages about 10 feet
■ high but at some points it is
I even higher.
■ By all accounts, the wall does
y its job better than ever. The
■ flow of refugees has been cut to
» a trickle since the East Ger-
■ mans first began building it
7 Aug. 13, 1961.
With a moat in outlying re-
/ gions and tank barriers in mid
city, the wall is backed up with
an intricate system of fences,
barbed wire, hidden signal
devices, a cleared “death strip”
and some 14,000 East German
soldiers as well as patrol dogs.
It is worth a man’s life to try
and cross these barriers.
West Berlin police list 63
known deaths along the wall in
its seven years, 47 by gunfire.
These figures exclude such inci-
dents as that in July when East
German guards shot down two
apparent refugees who were
presumed by Western observers
to have been killed.
"We count only those we know
were killed,” a police spokes-
man said.
How many people now get
across the wall?
"Hardly anybody,” he replied.
Those refugees who reach the
West are mostly people who
manage to sneak past authorized
wall crossing points.
Most of the 2.2 million West
Berliners try to stay away from
the wall — ‘out of sight, out of
mind.” But several factors have
added to their shut-in feeling.
The Communists have grant-
ed no seasonal wall passes for
more than two years. Especially
for the city’s elderly residents
— about one-fifth are over 60 —
this is the bread and butter is-
sue, the one they want the city
authorities to resolve so they
again can visit their relatives,
the places where they were
