Move to Relieve
Governor of His
Pardon Duties
The Times, News Bureau
81. Walter Hotel

RALEIGH. Feb. 21.-There is
growing movement among men,
bers of the general assembly to
provide Governor Ehringhaus with
a commissioner of pardOns aud
paroles. Backers of the proposal
claim that this would give the
governor more time to devote to
other duties and that by a COM
missioner deyoting his full time to
the job. the prison problem could
be handled more eXpeditiously.
Such a plan. it is believed, would
actually reduce the cost of prison
administration.
The latest proposal of this ma
ture comes from Senator Aiken
of Catawba, who introduced a bill
in the senate calling for the APP
pointment of a commissioner OF
pardons and paroles at a salary
not to exceed $4,000 a year. This
set-up is virtually the same that
was proposed in a house bill in
troduced some time ago by Repre-
sentatives Beasley and Thompson.
and which is now being considered
by the house committee on penal
institutions. In each case the COM
missioner would be chosen by the
governor.
The house bill, however, goes
further than the Aiken plan in
that it provides that the state
prison and the highway commits
sion support four full-time parole
supervisors. one to be selected by
the commissioner of paroles.
These parole supervisors would
perform their duties under the d.
rection of the commissioner. and
would receive not in excess OF
$3.50 month.
The supervisors would exercise
authority over paroled prisoners,
assist paroled prisoners or those
about to be paroled to find self
supporting means, and would
maintain contact with such pris-
oners to see that they observe the
conditions of their parole. The
new commissioner of paroles
would study all cases and prison
ers who have served a reasonable
part of their sentences and have
shown their worthiness would be
allowed to complete their terms
outside the prison under the
watchful eye of the supervisors.

Roman Senate
To Be Restored
Ancient House Of Surpass-
inc Historic Value
BY THOMAS B. MORGAN
United Press Staff Correspondent

ROME. Feb. 21.-(UP).-Sur-
passing even the Coliseum in his
torical importance, the Roman
Senate house. where Cicero orat-
ed and the affairs Of the then
known world were decided, has
been unearthed and will soon be
completely restored to the view
of the world.
At one time, it was able to seat
600 senators and was held as
sacred as the temples of the gods.
The work of restoration is pro-
ceeding now and is extremely diff
ficult because two churches have
been built using the ancient walls
as their foundations or supports.
One of these churches, st. Had
rian's, belonged to the Spanish
monks Of the Order of Mercy.
Before proceeding with the work,
Premier Mussolini came to an ar
rangement with these monks to
take yer the property in ex-
change for other concessions
which would compensate them.
The site, with the precious Sen
ate house. was far more valuable
as a historical relic than the an
cient construction ever could have
been either as church, or monas-
terry, to the monks. and for this
reason the exchange was readily
agreed upon.
The origin of the Roman SEN
ate, which dictated laws for the
entire ancient world. dates from
the very earliest Roman times,
some historians fixing it as early
as TOO BIC. 1t also is stated that
the first Roman Senate met in a
square hut with a matched roof
and it was not until Julius Hos
titus. the third king CT Rome,
that a stone building was pro-
vided.
The actual building which now
is excavated and from which
must be demolished the two
churches built on its walls. was
begun by julius Caesar, but his
death occurred before he had
completed it. 1t was then finished
by Caesar Augustus. who dedi-
Gated it in the year 20 Be, with

Engraving. it will be remembered, was always
employed primarily as a reproductive method
While there was no photography if painting
were reproduced it must be through the medium
of engraving-line stipple o-tint. Looking
at this collection one is reminded afresh of the
marvellous skill of the early engravers who
utilized unwieldy tools and materials to render
interpretations OF subtle values and exquistely.
Here are two remarkable portraits by Rafael
Morghen, by whom, it will be remembered, the
most famous engraving of da Vinci's Last Sup
per" was made. These portraits are of Petrarch
and of Lorenzo di Medici. Comparable with
them, but in quite different manner, are por-

able stipple engraving, portrait of the Duke
OF wellington full length, by w. Jackman, from
a painting by Sir John Lilley which was en-
graved for the New York Albion March l. 1341.
In those days it was no uncommon thing for a
publisher to commission an engraver to make
reproductions of paintings in high favor, by
great artists. and to sell them through sub
scriptionS in portfolios. When the old Art
Union formed in New York proposing to
improve the taste of the American people, part
of the plan was to issue one such engraving to
Mr.. Moore's collection is a print of Durer's
famous plate, The Knight, Death and the
Devil"-possibly an original more likely not,
but charming
1t should not be thought however, that Mr..
Moore has limited himself to the great masters
of the past. To the contrary, he has included in
his collection works by some of the best contem-
porary etchers and. most Interestingly practically
all Of his local coleagues-Washington etchers.
For example, he has, and has included in this
showing, an etching produced by Miss Ga
brielle deV. Clements in the 80s-a stone
quarry, and still one of her best-a much sought
plate. He has an etching by Mr. Tolman and
one by Mr.. Claghorn. Both pictures are land

A GAIN by invitation Seward Rathbun is
sending group of his water colors to the
California coast to be shown at Leland Stanford
University and possibly elsewhere The first
collection that he sent out was made up of
water colors of the old Spanish missions painted
during a Summer in California and in the
Southwest.
The collection that he is sending out at this
time consists chiefly of paintings made last
Summer in Quebec and its vicinity, with one or
two subjects found elsewhere lending variety
Mr.. Rathbun is trained architect, teacher
and an accurate craftsman, but he paints
broadly and with a full brush keying his color
to the tone of his paper. Several of his Quebec
subjects are OF old houses one Of which, be-
cause Of its picturesque quality he had to pay
fee to the owner for the privilege Of TRANSCRIPT
ing. Here, again. one may be permitted to sug-
gest. is proof of the contention that art pays.
What land owner ever received fee from an
artist to paint his house if it were ugly-just
plain ugly? One Of the houses Mr.. Rathbun
painted old any in Canada, with
sloping roof so high that it accommodated
double row OF dormers This and the other
houses TO which reference has been made are
both in rural setting. but other of his water
colors show the houses in Quebec, the narrow
streets, and anonymously towering above
them, the one modern skyscraper.
Perhaps most dramatic of all these Canadian
paintings is the one that Mr.. Rathbun made of
a wayside Shrine-a wooden. painted crucihx
silhouetted against blue. partly clouded sky,
very simply rendered with certain spirit in
dicative of appreciation Of beauty and the emo
tional quality Of the figure itself-a brilliant
piece Of work.
