'"THE COLUMNISTS: A SURGI
CAL SURVEY." by Charles
Fisher; $2.59).
A gentleman by name of Charles
Fisher has just dusted the jackets
of a large share of America’s
newest journalistic phenomena,
our columnists. Mr. Fisher pre
faces his “The Columnists: A Sur
gical Survey” with the guess that
in the last few years American
newspapers have used these syn
) dicated writers in the first person
as substitutes for the personal
journalism which once flourished.
He admits that the era in which
taewspaper proprietors black
guarded each other habitually was
not perfect, but deplores what he
considers the dullness of modern
> journalism.
That is his es'imate. and he has
a right to it. His estimate of the
columnists is likewise his own,
although obviously colored con
siderably by his personal beliefs
and likes and dislikes. What
makes the book attractive enough
to keep me up two hours past
bedtime is the gayety and clever
ness of the writing itself, not al
together the content.
He ribs Mark Sullivan terrfical
ly, pointing out that he started
precious close to a radical, but
grew less ‘‘progressive” the more
money he made. He ribs Win
chell a bit too, but there is more
than a suggestion of wide-eyed
wonder in his approach to that
phenomenon. He thinks Win
chell is still a ham actor at heart,
and blames his occasionally lurid
estimates of his own value on the
fact that it is cricket to talk about
► oneself in show business.
Dorothy Thompson likewise
provides juice for the Fisher or
ange. Mr. Fisher thinks the juice
a bit sour. Pegler he can’t stom
ach at all, except as a prose styl
ist, and h s piece on the angry
man of Ridgefield, Cohn., con
tains innumerable examples of
what Mr. Fisher calls boorishness
out of the Peglerian past. He
thinks the late Raymond Clapper
was pretty good and grows a bit
moist-eyed over Ernie Pyle’s
stuff. But he is really wicked on
V the subject of military comment
ators, and among others takes
Major George Fielding Eliot for
a bumpy ride on a springless bike.
Mr. Fisher may be 59 for all I
know; he writes like a young and
yeasty man.

CHUNGKING. Chinr May 12.
—(AP>—The Chinese High Com
mand said today that the Jananese
force were slashing across the
Yellow river southward, to cut
the Lunghai railway about 40
miles west of Loyang in Honan
Province, barring the line of
Ch nese retreat.
Two Jap columns, about 5,000
men, a part of the invasion force,
using 600 light tanks and arm
ored cars, forced their way across
the Yellow river from Shansi
Province, and are attempting to
push the Chinese troops into the
hills beyond the great Honan
plains.
As a means of safeguarding
their newly-won hold on the
Peiping-Hankow railway, the Japs
are us ng thousands of trucks, as
well as tanks and armored cars,
making the drive the heaviest
mechanized offensive in Ch;na
since the battle of Hankow in
1938.
