NEW YORK, January 3.-Pieces OF

cans, shoveLs and old inner tubes do
not-in the official opinion Of New York
customs agents-compose work OF art
The Official opinion Of customs agents
in Baltimore, however, is exactly the
opposite.
That is Why "El Picador" went on
exhibition today at the new School OF
Social Sciences, along with 80 other
pieces of sculpture by Jose de Creeft,
Spanish artist.
New York customs agents barred the
way when Senor de Creeft tried TO
bring the statue here for an exhibition
two years ago. They were willing to let
it enter II duty of $500 was paid. (Ex-

To the New Workers the statue, in

Senor de Creeft might try to sell In

PHILADELPHIA, January 3.-Phila-

by the city's failure to offer $4,000 in
prizes, observed New Year day with a
Mlimmers' parade that brought an OUT
pouring Of color and buffoonery.
With no incentive except the tradi-
ton that ''the parade must go on" 10
clubs of Mummers-less than half the
usual number-tiirned the city's central
section into an outburst of rainbow
pageantry and nonsense before the
slimmest crowd In years.
Unemployment had thinned their
ranks, but the shooters" kept up the
annual march, dancing. capering and
waving silken umbrellas and gaudy
capes. The testers found no official too
high for their quips and gibes. The
once-a-year harlequins, laying their
troubles at the feet of King Momus,
found amusement even In the depres-
sion.
There we're countless take-offs on
Congress and the recent election.
