was an excellent. broadly painted landscape

the needlework. From Roanoke. Va, came an
exquisite bedspread made of a thousand yards
of lace perfectly stitched and also very
lovely quilt, both by Ellen F. Andrews. Ex-
cellent examples Of needepoint-bags. stool

were dresses and suits nawlessly knitted by
local and out town contributors. Theater

amples Of pictorial photography. Among the
most notable were those sent in by Patricia

dered in this medium But why render such
subjects at all? Who could find them other

has been said that Mr.. Simon's favorite sub
jects are "the people who daily struggle for a
bare existence-bums. tramps, beggars and
Others" But do these people struggle or do
they drift down stream? Certainly they are

the following extraordinary notice:
Through circumstances beyond its control
the identity Of the whitney Museum Of Ameri-

As a consequence, much of the criticism leveled
against the Public Works of Art Project has

confusion has resulted in occurrences which
materially interfere with the activities Of the

If museums of art are compelled to close
their doors for fear of mob violence, especially
exerted as protest against governmental action,
we are certainly in sad plight.

The Home Loan Bank bill guaran.

terest Of bonds issued by the Home
Loan Corporation was passed by the
House late yesterday under pro-
cedure that prevented amendment.
As q result. a change approved by
President Roosevelt did not get into
the measure.
The amendment desired by the
President stipulated that party affllia-
ton not be considered in selecting
employees for the corporation. The
Senate had put such an amendment
in the bill and the House Banking
Committee took it out.
Warn Of Issue.
Republicans warned in debate they
intended to make campaign issue
Of the political amendment.
On the final roll call there was
only one dissenting vote, and that by
a Democrat-Representative Kennedy
Of New York.
Kennedy,s explanation was:
Il think the time has come when
Congress must stop pledging the Sc
curity of the United States until the
budget Is balanced. l stand with the
President on his recovery program, but
In this case cannot go along. This
involves the outlay of $4,000, 900 900.

For three hours the House talked
about the bill, but there was little
mention Of the guarantee provision of
the section that would allocate $780,
100000 for loans to repair and mod
ernize homes.
Most Of the debate was about the
political amendment.
There was reference to a state
ment by Speaker Rainey that such a
provision would mean that Repub-
Icans get the job

frank admission that If merit were
the sole consideration no Democrats

vene it March % or rs, chiefly to
tap new sources Of revenue.
Schools can't be kept open without
It, the Governor has decided. although
he was reluctant to act-because of
political reasons, it is believed. This
Is election year, and not even the
wisest political seer can foretell what
q Legislature may do.
The State will lose s., 3,000, 900 taxes
because of the 20-mill amendment
ratified last Fall, the Governor figures.
To replace this he has two main meas
ures In mind-a general sales tax or
q gross income tax. A per cent rate
on gross incomes, he says, would yield
from $2,500,000 to $3,000,00O. The
State Federation Of Taxpayers Asso-
Citations is backing a sales tax. The
Governors Legislative Advisory Com
mittee went on record for this almost
unanimously.

optional plan, giving each county the
choice Of two kinds Of primaries.

ing on 1 1,400-Kilocycle Channel
Competition.

Radios roster of broadcasting sta
tions will be reduced by four if the
Federal Radio Commission adopts the
recommendation of one of its exam
liners that the supreme radio penalty
be paid by that number of stations in
Brooklyn, N Y. now sharing time on
the same wave length.
Such recommendation was made
by Examiner Ralph L. Walker, who sat
as umpire in a case involving competi-
tive applications of these stations,
each of which sought to oust the
three others from the 400 kilocycIe
channel upon which they operate
with $50 watts power. The stations
are WARD. WBBC, With and
WVFw.
In his report on hearings. which
lasted nine days last Summer, Mr..
Walker concluded that the best inter-
ests of the public would be served
If all four of the stations are elimi-
mated. He said they suffered an
economic disadvantage because of the
four-way division of time, and that
in the case of all of the stations ex-
cepting With there was some ques-
tion about financial ability to operate
in the public interest.
In the cases of WBBC, With and
WARD, Mr.. Walker said an excessive
amount of time is devoted to COM
mercial foreign language programs
He found that number of stations
now render good service throughout
the Brooklyn area and that it did not
appear that the four stations add
materially to the service so received"
There are two other applicants for
the facilities of the four Brooklyn
stations, whose applications will be
heard after the commission disposes
of the current cases. They are the
