Rapids. He studied later at Colum-
bia University and the Art Students
League in New York City. Whistler
was among his teachers.
Early in 1884 he was the center
Of controversy over a 40-foot panel
he did for the new Department of
Agriculture Building in Washington.
Rexford G. Tugwell, then Assistant
Secretary of Agriculture, criticized
the mural as too classical" but the
painting finally was accepted.
The mural showed a landscape
with a group CT four allegorical
figures around a large oak tree.
Critics expressed a belief it should
have included artistic references to
A. A. A. crop control and modern
agricultural machinery. The mural
previously had been displayed ia
Paris and won praise from French
and American experts.
In 1885 Mr.. White was made
honorary citizen of the town of
Saint Quentin in the World War
battlefield zone which he visited
frequently. A number of his works
hang in the Saint Quentin Museum.
Mr.. White was a captain in the
United States Army Reserve and be-
longed to many clubs and associa-
tions both in Europe and America.
He was brother of Stewart Ed
ward White, author, and Roderick
White, violinist. He was married to
Bertha Stenger, an American, in
1928.

Several Works of White
Are on Display Here

Several of the works of Gilbert
White are in Washington, includ-
ing a mural in the Agriculture De-
partment which caused a mild rum
pus when ReXford Guy Tugwell
called it Ladies in Cheesecloth.'
The mural, on the stairway lead
ing to the second floor Offices of the
Secretary of Agriculture, is in a
pastoral vein showing buXom god
desses with sheaves of grain. The
idyllic theme apparently was too
old-fashloned for Mr. Tugwell who
was then Undersecretary of Agri-
culture.
To make it clear the New Dealers
had nothing to do with the mural
plate was set in June, 1884, telling
that it was a Republican selection.
The inscription says: Approved,
1882, Andrew Mellon, Secretary Of
Treasury; Henry M. Hyde, Secre-
tary of Agriculture
The Corcoran Gallery of Art has
a number of White study sketches.
A portrait of Gov. McCreary, who
is considered the father of the Pam
American Union, is located in the
organizations headquarters here.

But Generalissimo Chang did not
expect what happened next.
Into Chungking (normally 635, 900
population) swarmed 100000 refu-
gees, in itself grave problem. Then
one day As Japanese war planes
swarmed over Chungking, dropping
incendiary bombs and demolitioners,
more than 100 in all. When the
smoke cleared China could count
5000 casualties, a ruined capital and
temporarily blasted morale. Ger
many and Britain found their en-
bassies destroyed. For all concerned
it seemed best to move the capital
on-wheels again, this time $50 miles
northeast into Chengtu, whose nor
NAL half million population will au-
tomatically double overnight.
Peace-loving Chengtu might well
regard this official invasion as a
death sentence. General Chang
probably hopes an off-the-river cap
ital may break his bad luck ink,
but Tokyo thinks otherwise. Despite
British protests that Chungking's
bombing was purely terroristic and
without definite military objective,
Nippon's warriors announced their
death planes were prepared to fol-
low China's capital wherever it may
roam.

ing brought nearer mans practical
use. Addressing the southwest Sec
ton of the American Association for
Advancement of Science, DR.. Comp
ton made dramatic news by fore
casting that quantity of atomic
power the size of a pinhead may
some day propel an ocean liner from
the U. S. to Europe. Potentially ca
pable of. revolutionizing heat and
transportation methods, atomic pow
er-like fire-could be both a bless
ing and curse. Sample curse: It
could fire gun several thousand
miles.
DR.. Compton's claims are not
dreams. Unrelated, recent expert
ments in both Europe and the U. S.
have started from the same assump-
tion and led to the same conclusion.
The assumption: Production of heat
and light in the stars is a radio
active process, therefore man should
go about unlocking atomic power by
artificial radiation. The conclusion
and problem: To find out whether
theories regarding the source of So
lar and stellar power can be made
practically effective on earth.
