GERMANY GETS A HEAVY RAINFALL
^ THREE MEN MEET AT TEHERAN
James Truslow Adams
Finds A New Approach
To History Writing
A___
* By JOHN SELBY
AP Arte Editor
SOUTHPORT, Conn. — James
Truslow Adams, one of the squires
of this green and white Connecti
cut village, and one of the deans
of American history, just has
produced the first volume of an
American history that compares
with the usual historical volume
as Life magazine compares with
the Atlantic Monthly.
When completed the four vol
umes of “The Album of American
^ History” will be a complement
to written history, not a fabulous
new technique. Fr. Mr. Adams
a new departure was essential.
“You see,” he says, adjusting
his moderately portly tweed-clad
figure to the dimensions of a
chair that just fits, “I had to de
velop a new approach. I’ve al-|
ready written my say, quite a lot
of it, in books like “The Epic of
America” and "The March of
Democracy.” And there also are
are many thousands of histories
I had nothing to do with, most ob
viously.
"I can’t just rewrite history,
> and the idea of producing four
volumes of pictures that would il- (
lustrate American life from the

15th century to the present was
attractive.”
In Connecticut, Mr. Adams finds
the proper perspective for such
matters.
He lives in what appears to be
a small house on one of the re
moter village streets. The house
did not survive the visit of the
British in the Revolution, but the
central part of the Adams place

was built shortly after the Revo
lution, and has been added to, ad
lib., from that time to this.
Now there are 18 rooms, “and
36 radiators,” Mr. Adams confess
es.
His household consists of his
wife, two maids and a furnace
man when he can find one,
“It’s a charming neighborhood,
hereabouts,” he adds, “although I
do miss my men friends a bit.
My wife and I are completely
surrounded by seven charming la
dies—and a cat.”
The cat is named Nuney, after
a village in England. The Adam
ses lived nine years in England,
and the original Nuney was a cat
the Adams cook bought at a vil
lage fair for sixpence.
Commuters call Southport the
“Connecticut Wall Street,” be
cause so many financial men live
there. By chance, Mr. Adams was
one of these, up to 1912. After he
left Wall street he acted as a con
fidential assistant to Col. House
abroad, and later transferred to
military intelligence, where his
ass gnment was Russia. "Probably
because he knew nothing about
Russia,” he adds.
He wan’ed to write, and after
the war he settled on the east end
of Long Island and began "The
Founding of New England.” Sev
eral curious things grew out of
that venture.
“People thought that I must be
long to the Massachusetts Adam
ses," he explains, "and apparent
ly some still do. My people came
from Virginia, and I was born in
Brooklyn—but I did write about
the Massachusetts tribe, of course.
“And I was an innocent, so far
as publishing went. I supposed
I’d have to pay to get my stuff
printed.” Before he learned the
game. Dr. Adams wrote a 100.000
word history for $1,000 flat. He
