decorative panel, king John Sign
ing the Magma Charta" prepared for
the courthouse in Cleveland, o.,
some years ago.
The original painting for this
great panel, which measures fifty by
fifteen feet, is included in the col
lection to be shown at the Heron
exhibit throughout October. The
painting is valued at more than
5000.
Besides this painting, the Brang-
wyn collection to be shown here
includes seven paintings, and
twenty etchings and prints. Brang-
wyn's etchings are as typical as his
other work of the three features
which distinguish them: simple
grouping, realistic drawing, and
truthful lighting.
There was time when they were
less known than his other varied
work because he makes his etch-
ings, prints them in small numbers,
and sells them Immediately to
eager connoisseurs. Today, how
ever, some critics hold that Brang-
wyn's etchings are more noteworthy
than his pictures and mural de-
corations.
The meditative paintings of Au-
gustus Vincent Tack are an ap-
proach to the modern types of art
in that they are abstract in de-
sign. Like great compositions in
music, Tack's paintings may be said
to have rythym, movements, and
themes in color.
A modern mystic, Tack has
painted number Of decorative
panels on such abstract subjects as
order, balance, far reaches. These
three are part of the collection Of
seven loaned to the local exhibit
by the Phillips Memorial Gallery
in Washington, D. c. The other
four are Voices of Many Waters"
Flight" "Passecaglia," and "Yel-
low and Gold"
Other paintings in the Tack COL
lection to be hung include; "Outer
World" Aspirations, Morning"
Spring Night" "Interspaces, "Noc-
turne," Magic Journey" Christ
mas Night" and 'Red-Violet and
Gold"

technique that is a development

WEALTHY PEOPLE SEEK VILLAGES
 OF THEIR OWN

New York, Aug 18.-(UP)-Mil- lionaires who object to high taxa ton combined resources to-day for a battle against politicians attempt ing to stem the movement for in- corporation of the small, wealthy villages on Long Island. Nassau county politicians formed a com mittee yesterday in an effort to curb the tendency of small groups of well-to- do people, living princi- pally on large estate. to set up their own village government.
 Simultaneously. the wealthy resi- dents of Rosly Harbor began q campaign for incorporation. The 363 persons living in the commun- ity own property valued at $3,500,- 900. James l.. Dowsey, republican county leader, and Charles Sne- deker, supervisor of North Hemp stead, said interpretations were de- priving the county of so much tax able property the highway con- struction programs were being en- dangered. The owners of the beau tiful and wealthy estates in the county charge their taxes are too high and incorporation will reduce them.

New York, Aug 1S.-CUP)- Selling in automobile shares ana special issues turned the trend of the stock market down again to- day after a substantial rally in the earlier trading.
 oil shares which had on their side the most constructive news this year maintained part of early advances, but the main body or stocks sank toward the previous closing levels, and a few broke through these prices.
 Reversal of the trend was ex- plained variously. Some attributed it to failure of the Bank of Ipter- national Settlement committee to sign the agreement to extend D. 00O,0O0,000 marks German credit for another six months. The Eng fish government budget difficulties also loomed as an unsettling fac- tor. .+
 In the domestic situation, traders suddenly began to circulate rumors the automobile companies would experience a poor third quarter. This brought selling into General Motors and it broke IF points to 36k. Auburn plunged from IA to 134A and Chrysler lost a point net. while Mack trucks reacted 1 1-S to 31 1-2 and other issues of the group soud off fractionally.
 Du Pont broke IA poitns to s6 following the dip in General Motors. Utilities lost early gains and so did Mercantile issles. Con tinental shares was a weak spot. making a new low record at Ia. Railroad shares resumed their de- cline with New Haven off more than point at 56 IA.
 At 1:3O the Dow-Jones Indus trial and Railroad averages were down fractionally and the Utility average was up a small amount, making the list just about Heven with yesterday. By 2 D. m. the losses were extended.
 At 1880 sales totaled 100000 shares, against 100000 in the corresponding period yesterday. Volume shrank on the decline and tickers were barely moving as the market swung into the last hour.
 At that time most of the Oils retained gains, being aided by prospects of widespread price ad- vances as a result of the shutting of Texas fields. Standard of New Jersey held nearly points of its early gain and substantial advances were recorded in other issues.

GERMANY BANK AGREEMENT NOT
 YET COMPLETED

Basic, Aug 18-(UP)-Signing of the agreement to grant exten- sion of 5,000,000,00O marks ($1,- 187,500,000) German credit was postponed to-day.
 The agreement was drawn up yesterday by the bankers commit tee of the bank of international settlements, headed by Albert H. Wiggin, chairman of the govern ing board of the Chase National Bank of New York. It provided ex- tension of the huge credit for six months.
 The matter of some 700,OO0,0O0 marks holdings of foreign banks was not settled and it was said this problem was responsible for withholding signing the pact. It was to have been signed to-day by the bankers committee and trans mitted to Gates McGarrah, presi- dent of the bank for international settlement, who would then trans- init it to the various governments concerned.

TEN-YEAR PLAN FOR CHINA WILL
 BE CONSIDERED

Geneva. Switzerland, Aug 18- (UP) - naturalization of China under "10-year- plan" was under consideration by the international labor office to-day.
 The unique program. drafted along lines similar to the Soviet Russian five-year plan for indus trialization, would involve purchase from abroad of enormous supplies, including 12,000,000 tons of steel and 200, 100000 tons of coal.
 China already has approved the plan, the international labor office announced. Financial arrange ments. however, have not yet been disclosed. They are essential to make so gigantic a project prac- tical.
 The program Is built around the idea of modernizing China, culti- vating millions of acres of land now not used in that vast country, and developing industrial works throughout the nation.
 The salient points in the "1O- year plan include:
 1.-Cultivation of 300.000 acres of arable land.
 2.-Extension of transportation and other communications.
 3.-Construction of seaports.
 4.-Construction of 5000, 900 tons of shipping for a Chinese merchant marine.
 5.-Creation of industrial works throughout China.
