This week Adolfo Orive de Alba, President Aleman's Minister of Hydraulic Resources, is deep in this tierra caliente, finding suitable spots for work camps and hospitals to shelter and care for an army of laborers. Four huge dams will be built across the Papaloapan's tributaries, creating giant lakes in the shadow of snowcapped Orizaba (18,701 ft.). The twisting Papaloapan itself will be dredged to make a ship channel from Tuxtepec, 149 miles from the Gulf.

There should be deep, underground shelters, specially designed buildings, protected food stocks. Eventually, the "concentrated spatial pattern of industrial nations" should be readjusted.

Readers who have the tenacity to wade through The Wallaces will make a topsoil-deep acquaintance with U.S. farm problems and politics; that, and not character portraiture, is its only reward. At 51, big, friendly Russell Lord edits The Land, a sound agricultural quarterly, at his Maryland farm, runs a correspondence section for the Country Gentleman. The Wallaces wasn't "authorized," but Henry A. and the rest of the family were always ready to pitch in and help.
