Poems
By Ridgely Terrence. The
Macmillan Co., NetD York.

Macmillan Co., Ne,D York.
There are few poets writing today
in whose work there is not some
prose, either in technique or in
thinking. One of these few is
Ridgely Terrence, pure poet, in
deed. In his present volume there
are, to be sure, some selections on
contemporary public problems, but
even in these, he casts his thought
beyond prose limitations, writing
from the emotions of desire, JOY
and grief, rather than in irony and
bitterness. For the most part, how
ever, the poems are preoccupied with
timeless values, with the potential
but always unrealized beauty of life,
with the visible but seldom attended
beauty of the world about us, and
with the spiritual relation between
the two. The mood is intense but
serene; it breathes sort of calm
and steady fire The craftsmanship
the sense of line. sound and bal
ance-is fine. One wishes, as one
customarily does on reading his
work, that Mr.. Terrence were less
chary Of his production. N, r.

weather recording instrument
which had been sent up from Oma-

to height of IL miles in the air.
At that height the balloon bursts
and releases a parachute. The box
containing the recording instru-
ment and the remains Of the para
chute and balloon were lodged in a
tree. It was necessary to cut the
tree down to get the instrument.
While in the air it acted as a radio
broadcaster Of the temperature,

Two Navy Boards Probing
Death Of PAY Clerk

Two Navy boards Of inquiry today
were investigating circumstances
surrounding the death of Arthur
Ehler, 40, pay clerk at the research
laboratory of the Anacostia Naval
Station, where officials reported IAN
apparent shortage" in funds.
Ehler, who lived in the 2100 block
of Eighteenth street Sc, was found
dead in a New York City hotel Fri
day. An assistant medical examiner
of New York reported he died of
corrosive gastritis, probably induced
by cyanide
The pay clerk, who had been at
the research laboratory since May
IS, deposited $2,867.5O at the hotel
desk when he registered there Mon
day. An. .empty whisky bottle and
sleeping tablets were found in his
room, police reported.
Comdr. R. P. Briscoe, senior men,
ber of a board of inquiry sitting
here, said his group was looking into
the reason for Ehler's leaving" The
other board, in New York, was in
vestigating the cause of Ehler's
death. Comdr. Briscoe said he did
not know when the boards reports
would be made public.
Ehler is survived by his widow,
Mrs. Ruth Ehler of the Washington
address, it was said. He had been
in the service Is years.

Discrepancies in Age.
Records showed discrepancies in
Mr. Borglum's age. Lincoln said his
father would have been II years old
March Is.
When he entered the hospital,
Mr.. Borglum gave his age as So
which conformed with recent edi-
tions of who's Who" but earlier
editions gave his age as 70.
Mr.. Borglum was the son of DR..
James de Ia Mothe Borglum, who
went West with the MormonS and
practiced general medicine in Ne
braska for many years. Gutzon
Borglum was born in Idaho.
Mr.. Borglum'S greatest work-de-
scribed as colossal without fear of
overstatement - was the Mount
Rushmore Memorial, hewn into the
side of a mountain in the Black
Hills of South Dakota. The group
consists of gigantic faces of Wash
ington, jefferson, Lincoln and
Theodore Roosevelt. The sculptor
had expected to complete the work
this year.
Faces Completed.
Son Lincoln, his fathers assistant,
said the actual work on the faces was
completed before his father left the
site about February /, and that he
expected to finish the work, princi-
pally cleaning up rough stone around
the coats and hands of the figures.
An earlier undertaking of sim
liar scope was a Confederate me-
mortal on the side of Stone Noun
tain, near Atlanta. In 1916 he was
called upon to carve great figure
of Gen. Robert E. Lee on the noun
tainside, but he decided a single
statue would be inadequate and de-
signed a work including 1900 fig
ureS.
The World War interrupted the
Evening star., 1941-03-06

task until 1924. After the 20-foot
head of Gen. Lee was carved, dis
sension arose among the commit
| tee in charge of the memorial and
| between committeeman and Mr..
Borglum. The artist was discharged
and another man took over the work,
which is still far from complete.
Mr.. Borglum'S war memorial,
WARS of America" in Newark, was
described as the largest bronze group
| in America at the time of its COM
pletion and one of the largest in
| the world. His Lincoln statue, also
in Newark, is one of his most pop
ular works.
Work Scattered Over Country.
His work is scattered throughout
the country and the world, in pub
lie statuary and in the adornment
Of buildings and homes of art pa
irons. Among these are the huge
figures of the Apostles on the Cathe-
| dral of st. John the Divine, New
York, and the go gargoyles on the
Princeton University dormitory. A
head of Lincoln he did is in the
Capitol Building.
AS temperamental as the public
mind expects an artist to be, Mr..
| Borglum and his superintendent of
the Lee Memorial were charged with
malicious intent for destroying
| models for the work when he was
dismissed. He submitted his belief
in "the inalienable rights of an
artist in his own creation" as his
defense.
Mr. Borglum was a brother of
another noted sculptor, Solon Ham
nibal Borglum. Gutzon Borglum,
whose full name was John Gutzon
de la Mothe Borglum, was educated
in the Julian Academy and Ecole
des Beaux Arts, Paris, and ST. Mary's
College, Kansas.
Was Once Legislator.
The Lincoln statue is one of his
most popular works and perhaps the
most photographed statue of the
Great Emancipator. The design
makes it possible for a number of
people to gather about the statue in
such manner that a picture of the
group gives the appearance of them
listening to serious talk by Lin
coin.
His chief departure from the field
of artistic creation was during the
World War when he investigated for
President Wilson the alleged inef-
fectiveness of Americas war craft.
Nothing came of the investigation
and Mr.. Borglum afterwards de-
clared that he had been hampered
on all sides. Previously he served
a term in the House of Representa-
tives of the Connecticut General As
sembly.
Mr.. Borglum was inclined to oddi-
ties. A manifestation of this trait
was the baptism of his son in con-
nection with the dedication of the
sculptor's Wheeler memorial foun-
tain at Bridgeport, Conn. The child
was baptized in the waters of the
fountain with ceremony that had
touch of the pagan.
The sculptor was a member of the
Royal Society of British Artists.
Societe Nationale des BeauX Arts

and architectural societies and clubs

LONDON, March 6-The night
fighting operations of British flyers
now are considered so successful in
minimizing effects OF the Luftwaffe's
visits to London that permission
was given today to identify the
night fighting planes as HMri-
canes, Blenheims and Defiants.
At the same time the Associated
Press learned from officials of the
Air Ministry that German air losses
from all causes and in all theaters
except the Mediterranean since the
beginning of the war now total 5,346
planes officially accounted for. No
probable losses were included in
the reckoning, the ministry said. 1t
was estimated that the German Air
Force had lost 1866 of its per-
Sonnel.
Luftwaffe Losses Broken Down.
Total British plane losses were set
officially at 854; although casualty
figures were not given, it was stated
that 427 men of the crews assigned
to the planes which were destroyed
were known to have been saved.
The British breakdown of the
Luftwaffe losses gave: Lost in at
tacks on Britain, 3,13l; shot down
on the western front, 957; lost in the
Scandinavian campaigns. Sc; de-
stroyed in Germany and German
