WASHINGTON. Jan. ga
negotiated peace. with neither
side victorious. would be the best
possible ending for the European
war. Col. Charles A. Lindbergh
told a House Foreign Affairs
committee this morning.
Predicting defeat for the "loan-
lease" bill on which his testimony
was taken today, Colonel Lind
bergh scoffed at the dangers of i'm
vasion of the United States, but
advocated construction of 10000
modern fighting planes as this
country's surest protection.
He pointed out to the Congress
men the difference between an
aerial invasion of this country and
trans-ocean bombings in which a
large plane might fly over the At
lantic and drop few bombs.
Such a plane might easily be
constructed" he said, ''but i:
would be too expensive, not of
military value, and would mean
too great a loss to the invading
power Lindbergh explained
such bombings could not in any
way prepare the road for an in
vasion and added, IF England can
live at all with bombers only an
hours flight away, | do not see
that the United States is in any
great danger"

NATIONAL GALLERY
OF ART WILL HAVE.
VARIOUS PAINTINGS
FIFTEEN MILLION DOLLAR
INSTITUTION WAS GIFT
MADE BY THE LATE AN
DREW MELLON
BY JACK STINNTT
Try Ass0efated PresA,

WASHINGTON, Jan. 23.-Art
came from the people and, in the
United States at least, it seems to
be going back to the people.
When the great doors swing
open here on the late Andrew w.
Melons SIS, 100000 National Gal
lery of Art, MIR. and Mrs. John Q.
Public will walk between the
towering columns, stand in a ro-
tunda that stretches 100 feet to
the vaulted dome, and take over
one of the worlds greatest collec-
tions of paintings and sculpture.
The National Gallery is stag
gering, windowless expanse of
pinkish-white Tennessee marble
that runs along between Consti-
tuition and Pennsylvania avenues
within hailing distance of the
Capitol. Even in city that con-
tains buildings whose floor-space
can be measured only in acres,
the National Gallery is an eye
stopper.
But what is in it is far more ar
resting and many times more
valuable than the building itself,
for Mr.. Mellon not only gave the
building to the nation but threw
in, to boot, 122 great paintings
and numerous pieces of fine sculp-
ture, valued in the neighborhood
of SIS, 100000.
More Gifts Followed
Augmenting this within few
months. Samuel H. Kress, the New
York five-and-dime tycoon, an
nounced his gift to the Gallery of
375 paintings by the old Italian
masters and more sculpture. And
more recently still, Joseph E.
Widener, heir of traction mag
nate Peter A. B. Wfdener in Phila-
delphia, announced that he would
strip the walls and pedestals of
Lynnewood, his ancestral home at
Elkins Park, Pa, further to enrich
the museum.
1t is next to impossible to place
any dollar and-cents value on art,
but guesses are that when the Ma
tional Gallery opens, the building
and its contents will represent an
outlay of between one hundred
and two hundred million dollars.
Here will be Rembrandt's 1.-The
Mill," for which it is reported the
elder Widener paid England's
Lord Landsdowne a tidy half mil
lion and which has been called
one of the worlds greatest pic
lures. There will be % other
Rembrandts, including his de
scent From the Cross" "The Man
With Tall Hat" and Lady With
Ostrich Feather Fan"
There will be Vermeers, Ell Gre
cos, and Titians; Maset's great
painting, 1.-The Dead Toreador,"
and works of Renoir and Degas.
From the Widener collection
will come one of the worlds finest
groups of canvases by Van Dyck,
the Flemish portrait painter OF the
18th century.
