Sees Literary THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, Center Here | Stoyan Christowe, Who Writes of Heroes and Assassins, Lauds Library of Congress. BY JOHN JAY DALY. ASHINGTON' & ' literary center. To bring about this boon is the ambition of Stoyan Christowe, Balkan-born Americen writer who has locked himself up in the Library of Congress gathering ma- terial for a novel on the Napoleonic era. With his latest book, “Heroes and Assassins,” hitting into the best-seller list, Christowe deserted New York in search of 58 rare books, only two of which could be found in the me- tropolis. They were all here in the Congressional Library. Martin Rob- erts, superintendent of the reading room, gave the visitor a special room as a workshop. “This is the most marvelous insti- tution of its kind in the world,” Chris- towe exclaims, a familiar figure in the principal libraries of London, Paris, Sofia, Berlin and Constantinople. He calls himself a library hound. | “I smoke two packs of cigarettes a day,” the author says, “and once I thought it a shame that half the plirchase price goes to the Federal Government—but when I think of the Library of Congress, and all the help | it offers writers, I wish the Govern- | ment got more.” D. C. the Place to Write. With many friends in newspaper and congressional circles here, Chris- towe cannot understand why Wash-| ington does not emulate the example | of Paris and London—to mention only | a few of the world capitals. He be—; lieves this should be the literary cen- ter of America. New York to publish | the books, Washington the place to | write them.

Two-thirds of his life spent in America, Christowe says he is two- thirds American and one-third Euro- pean—but he never intends to go back to the other side except as an observer. Washington he wants to make his home. Here is where real literary work should and could be done. As a correspondent for the Chicago Daily News and The Washington Star, Christowe was the first writer to interview Ivan Michailoff, King of revolutionary Macedonia —now in exile.

RADIO HELD THREAT | : AS POLITICAL POWER George H. Payne, on Federal Communications Commission, ‘Warns Against System. #By the Associated Press ITHACA, N. Y., August 22.—George H. Payne, Federal communications commissioner, warned yesterday against permitting the broadcasting | “business to become a ‘“‘political power” leor “a fifth estate in our Government.” | . Addressing the American Association jof Agricultural College Editors at f Cornell University, Payne said “the| Yradio in this country is practically entirely in the hands of those inter-| ested solely in its commercial aspects.” The newspaper, too, he said, as the “fourth estate” has its commercial 1 aspects, but since the first paper was | | printed on this continent in 1690, + newspapers have fought for human rights, against political corruption and for liberty. “The radio,” he said, “bat- tles for no rights.” “No matter how honest may have | been the original thought there is| fundamental danger in the idea more or less casually advanced that the broadcasting business constitutes a fifth estate in our Government,” he said. | Dance for Church.

Once he was secretary to Marquis Eaton, Bul- garian consul general in Chicago. As » European correspondent he worked under the direction of Paul Scott Mowrer. “Heroes and Assassins” has just been published in England by Victor Gollancz, accerding to word received at the Congressional Library yester- day. To gather material for this work Christowe went back to the Balkans last year, but remained only half the time allotted him. “It is im- possible to think clear, unimpeded thoughts in the Balkans,” he ex- plains. “They won't let you. There are thought sentinels trying to stab your mind.” Lauded by Adamic. Christowe was with the comitadjis in Bulgarian Macedonia when a coup d’etat saddled Buigaria with a mili- tary dictatorship and the army in- vaded Macedonia to mop up the com- itadjls. The young author got out in time to write his book, hailed by Louis Adamic, a fellow countryman and friend, as a masterly performance. “This book had to be written,” Adamic said in his review, “and only the person who wrote it could be its author.” Written under those circumstances, Christowe feels his next book should be infinitely better, since it is being written in Washington—in the great- est of all places to write books, the Congressional Library. Today Stoyan Christowe, with the aid of his friend, George Stimson, another author, is sending out imvi- tations to New York writers asking them to come down and form a colony This Iced Tea Leaves D.
