'He the Maker': Ziff's
Poems on Moral Values

NEW YORK, N. Y.—A slender
volume, written by a man whose
previous works have dealt with
the harsh conflicts among men
and nations has aroused theolo-
gians and scholars Who have
hailed the new book as a bril-
liantly-stated. summation of the
world's most vexing problems in
terms of present-day moral
values. It is a volume of verse
by William B. Ziff, entitled "He
the Maker," which attempts to
strike to the core of our world's
ills and to restate in modern
form the eternal dilemma of
man in -his relationship to the
world and to his God.
In "He the Maker" it is God
who speaks—a God who is trag-
ically concerned with the future
of man, who has been made in
God's own image.
"He the Maker" is the su-
preme Jeremiad of the atomic
age; as when in • awful wrath
God whispers of his own spe-
Brith to influence the fraternal cial creature, man:

EON SHIMKIN, one of the reasons why the publishing . houset

subject to a rare spell of depression one rainy evening. In an

picked up the advance proofs
of Dale Carnegie's How to

struck his eyes was, "Whenever

him bother me. If he telephones and says it's terribly important that
he see me immediately, and that he'll be waiting at the corner for
me in five minutes, I always say 'okay' without art argument, and
just don't go. Why should I? He wouldn't be there anyway."
