ROBERT TRAVER
(Former Justice Voelker)

Robert Traver (the pen name
of former Michigan State Su-
preme Court Justice John D.
Voelker) gained so much fame
with his book, "Anatomy of a
Murder" — which also became
one of the decade's outstanding
films—that any other book by
him would have been certain to
attract the . widest attention.
It is no wonder, therefore,
that his latest work, his novel,
"Hornstein's Boy," published by
St. Martin's Press (175 5th,
N.Y. 10), not only attracted
reader interest but, like the
able author's first work, became
a best seller.
Deservedly, "Hornstein's Boy"
is on top of the reader-interest
novels. It is a revealing story
about politicians and their
henchmen, about tricks some
office-seekers have resorted to,
about an unscrupulous column-
ist. And it has a well-told love
story.
Emil Hornstein is the Jew-
ish charter in the novel who
interests a former classmate
at the university, Walt Whit-
man Dressler, in running for
the U. S. Senate. It starts out
like an impossible task, but
Dressler beats his opponent
for the nomination and then
defeats the incumbent. In
both instances, all remain
friends—his opponent for the
nomination emerging as an
able assistant in winning the
election and the defeated
Senator retaining a friend-
ship for the winner.
In the course of the cam-
paign's developments, Dress-
ler's opponent is accused of
having had Communist lean-
ings, and later the unsavory
character, (Flexi) Sondelius,
the muck-raking columnist, tries
to pin i also on Dressler. His
opponent for the nomination
acts the ',sleuth in uncovering
the plot.
Many of \the present-day is-
sues in political campaigns are
in evidence • in this well-told
story. Dressler's first triumph
is to win Negro support, with
his unusually fine interpreta-
tion of the Negro's position in
this country. Office-seekers will

do well to study this angle in
"Hornstein's Boy."
Then there is the love story
— Dressler's affair with the
owner of the hotel in which he
makes his headquarters. It is
a wholesome story and a true
love affair between Dressler
the widower and Louisa the
grass widow.
There is lots of action in
the expose of the unsavory
actions of Sondelius, and

while there is much humor in
"Hornstein's Boy," the story
is replete with drama. Son-
delius is the typical reaction.
ary who, in his opposition to
Dressler, always seeks ex-
cuses to attack his manager,
Hornstein, whom he always

addresses as "Jew boy."

Hornstein brings his father

into the political game, and the
elder Hornstein contributes a
large sum to Dressler's cam-
paign. At the very outset, when
Hornstein's background is re-
viewed, Emil tells of his father's
disappointment at his failure to
enter the family scrap iron
business, preferring music and
the theater. He tells about his
father:
"Though father himself was
never particularly religious
when I was a kid—he reserved
that for me—he has lately be-
come absorbed in Zionism and
Hebrew history. And I suspect
he may know more about the
Dead Sea scrolls than Edmund
Wilson. Certainly more than I,
!and I've read most of the popu-
lar accounts. He also serves on
about umpteen committees de-
voted to raising funds for Is-
rael, although he realizes, as he
wryly confessed to me, that the
main reason he gets on these
committees is the tacit assump-
tion that he will be among the
largest contributors. He doesn't
fail, either. Eight billion tons
of scrap iron later old Julius is
learning to spend his money.
It's funny, Walt, some of those
who were the biggest skeptics
of Zionism among American
Jews have now become its most
'generous and ardent sup-
porters."
Traver — the former Justice
Voelker—knows the score on
this subject, as is indicated in
the following he has incorpor-
ated in his book as Dressler's
reply to his manager:
"I don't think it's funny,
Emil. Every man needs and
seeks a spiritual home, a psy-
chological home plate; to be
able to sense that there is
one spot, some place on the
face of the earth, where how-
ever rough the going they
can't turn him away. Your
father is lucky—he's finally
found such a place. And this
implies not the slighest dis-
loyalty to America—he prob-
ably couldn't be driven to
live anywhere else. It's much
the same reason why there
are probably no Irishmen in
the world quite as incorribly
Irish as those born in Brook-
lyn."
What a remarkable way this
is of evaluating the humanitar-
ianism of Zionism and of indi-
cating an understanding of the
Jewish position vis-a-vis Israel!
As Dressler emerges victor-
ious in the election, Hornstein
informs his protege that he

New York where he is inter-
ested in a new theatrical pro-
duction. This, too, is a most in-
teresting climax to a story in
which the political manager
turns down an opportunity for
himself because he prefers his
piano and his music and the
theater.
Traver's "Hornsten's Boy" is
a very good novel—deserving
of a long stay in the best seller
list. And it, too, will make a
splendid movie.
