modern, meaning of the term is very doubt-
ful. At the same time it is apparent that
she was incapable of' managing her affairs
and it is possible that Robert Lincoln, the
son who instigated the action, had no other

more at length with Robert's agonizing di-
lemma.
Official records of the trial are lacking;
all that is known is that they disappeared.
Croy turned to accounts in Chicago newspa-
pers and used these contemporary reports as
his chief source. He has resorted liberally
to a common device: dialogue that he be-

of pitfalls whicn he has not wholly sidestep-

Tongue-in-Cheek Itinerary
For Congolese Lawmakers

Washington, (NEA) — If the situation in the Congo
doesn’t go from worse to terrible, it won’t be the fault of the
United States Agency for International Development. They’re
that they are not Communists but
Marxists.
Undoubtedly in some cities this is
intended only as a convenient label to*
indicate adherence to broad social
doctrine. But those who seriously in-
sist that “Marxism'’ is a living politi-
cal philosophy deserve to be laughed
off, the map.
Marxism as a reality never got off
the ground.
It was predicated on the notion of
an majority wMpb
would rise up, cast off its capitalist
chains, seize the government and run
it for the benefit of all. It presumed
all capitalist societies contained the
seeds «Df their own destruction, that
they would inevitably fall into war-
ring. international competition.
Even before the 19th century was
over, this philosophy clearly did not
fit the facts of developing industrial
civilization. Workers’ living standards
were rising markedly. In many coun-
tries they were receiving substantial
social benefits as well, at the time Rus-
sian Communists “took over” Marxism
as their own.
But they twisted it out of shape
until it bore no resemblance to the
things Karl Marx wrote. They never
could muster a majority, so they made
Marxism in fact the philosophy of a
dedicated minority — miscalled Bol-
sheviks (Russian word for majority).
In today's world, Marxism is mean-
ingless. Its original doctrines have
utterly no bearing on real life. Work-
ers in free societies are in many ways
better off than rulers were in the 19th
century. They share more and more
in the swelling benefits of the indus-
trial and scientific revolutions.
The capitalist nations did war
among themselves twice in this cen-
tury. seeming to give some credence
to this part of Marxist doctrine. But
it took power-mad men to touch off
the flames. There are wiser heads at
the helms today and, ironically, the
threat of war comes from the very na-
tions—r Russia and Red China — which
hide behind the ancient shell of Marx-
trying.
THE SHATTERED GLASS. By Jean
Aris. Knopf. $4.95.
This is a two-fold story about a woman’s
love and a man’s self-destruction. It is fill-
ed with a tension that will catch hold of
many who read it.
As the story opens, the heroine has reach-
ed a low point in her life.,, No longer young,
estranged from her husband, this mother of
three children has just lost her only son.
The scene is an art colony in the hills of
California, and it is there she chances to
meet an architect. They fall in love, and
the women begins a long series of emotional
oscillations between happiness and dfjbrror.
After she has committed herself to lov-
ing this man, long after it is too late to turn
back, she discovers that he is in the advanc-
ed stages of alcoholism.
Gradually she learns that he has reacted
to his father’s domineering ways by frequent
plunges into 'the depths—and then has al-
ways accepted meekly his father’s help in
getting out of the messes he has created.
TEXANS IN WASHINGTON
She has to make the struggle for the
man’s salvation, even though she realizes the
odds are hopeless. There are times when the
man remains sober, makes a living and seems
on the road to recovery. They have their
happy times together. But always these oc-
casions are followed by horrible descent into
beastliness and madness. The question is
how far the woman's love can follow him.
The story is told from the woman’s view-
point, with a stark quality that is psycholo-
gically powerful. The author has employed
an unusual device by leaving virtually all her
characters nameless—they are simply “the
man,” or "the woman,” or "the man’s fa-
ther.” Most of the time this proves to be
an effective device.
It is a novel with many unusual facets,
effectively written and filled with dark, dis-
turbing emotions.

As the communists use it, Marx-
ism is a total fraud. As certain dedi-
cated socialists use it, Marxism is a
tattered, obsolete theory which serves
only to insulate them artifically from
the realities that surround them.
The man who in 1962 seriously an-
nounces himself as a Marxist is by that
fact consigning himself to the dusty
shelf of history. He is trying to live
in a world that does not exist.
The sad part, however, is that all
too many such men rise to positions of
power and influence, where, '..their*
“Marxism” interposes itself and dis-
torts everything they see and do.
Bad ideas ought reasonably to die
a quick death-once their weakness is
exposed. Obviously, some of them
cling tenaciously to even the frailest,
most twisted threads of life.

That is a lot of saving.”
Tower listened attentively,
then remarked: “I think I'm
inclined to back you up.’’

THE TRIAL OF MRS. ABRAHAM LIN-
COLN. By Homer Croy. Duell, Sloan and
Pearce. $3.95.
It is 1875; the scene is Chicago; the
widow of a President of the United States
is on trial; the issue is her sanity. This is
the dramatic setting for Croy’s latest excur-
sion into Americana.
It is not an unknown chapter of history,
but no one else to this reviewer’s knowledge
has done a better job of resurrecting the
story and giving it an authentic treatment.
The story is starkly told. It is not em-
bellished by author’s comment or opinion, and
it rarely strays from the courtroom 1— and
yet the conclusion is inescapable that Mrs.
Lincoln was in large measure railroaded into
an asylum. There is no doubt she was ec-
