WEBB WALDRION'S NEW BOOK
Webb Waldron, a Michigan gradu-
ate, author of "The Road to the
World," is going to write a travel book.
He has- been covering the Great Lakes
region extensively this summer and
has found, he says, more than wonder-
ful scenery, flourishing populations
and industries-for one thing, a curi-
ous community which considers itself
the Tribe of Benjamin, and expects to
gather together the Lost Tribes of
Israel when the millenium comes.
Their leader, they know, will not die
until this has come to pass. They
are not a poor sect, but have a pros-
perous co-operat'e community, which,
Mr. WahIdrdzn says testifies to worldly
shrewdness and common sense as ap-
plied to daily affairs.,
Andre Trido'n, author of Psychoan-
alysis and Behavior", "Psychoanalysis
Sleep and Dreams", and other books
dealing with psychoanalysis, died sud-
denly at his home in New York City
