At National Museum.

Etchngs by Ralph Fabri of New
York City comprise the current ex-
hlhition of the Division of Graphic
Arts, United States National Mu-
scum, on view on the first floor OF
the Natural History Bull6lng.
Thirty five prints are included.
The work demonstrates the art
ist S sklllful. conservative technique,
rrodigious industry and cultivated
mind. But tie last mentioned Is
responsible perhaps, for an aspect
open to criticism; many OF his prints
offer an embarrassment Of riches.
They are too crowded and their in
terest is diffused.
One notes this with regret, for
original subject matter is none too
prevalent in contemporary art, and
Mr.. Fabri's subjects are individual
and reveal a sensitive mind pre-
occupied with the war in its many
complicated relationships and Its
place in history. In not a few OF
his plates. he has begun with Egypt
and worked down to the present
introducing monuments and figures
from successive periods: Greece
Rome, the Middle Ages, Renaissance
italy. etc. This Is the case with
such plates as pursuit of Happl-
ness. What Now?" and Pharaoh
Dream" All the details Of his
rlates are represented natura!lstl-
cellv and his allegories give an
effect of historical pageantry.
He is haunted by features OF the
war. particularly searchlight beams
sweeping the dark skies and picking
out innumerable airplanes. He
utilizes these plane-filled ribbons OF
light in many of his compositions;
they are strong and effective pat
terms, although occasionally some
what obvious. He also frequently
uses hordes of marching soldiers
and endless lines of tanks, as well
as their counterparts in earlier
ages. He has marked gift for
design and tonal contrasts.
His prints with less complicated
themes seem more effective: AT

instance. The aforementioned de-
picts the Huns on swift horses rae

Art
National Gallery
Receives Important
New Sculptures
By Florence S. Bergman.

The National Gallery of Art has
received a gift of three important
works in sculpture from Mrs. Ralph
Harmon Booth of Detroit, in men,
ory of her husband. noted col
lector of art, philanthropist and at
one time United States Minister
to Denmark.
The Greek head of a youth is
the first example of classical art
to enter the National Gallery. 1t
is carved from warm Pentelic
marble with tonality almost
golden. The delicately modelled fea-
lures have the idealization char
acteristic of Greek sculpture of the
fourth century. BIC. This head is
related in spirit to such rare exam
piles of classical art in this country
as the heads of women in the Boston
and Toledo Museums and the Met
ropolitan Museum of New York.
The other gifts from Mrs. Booth
are medieval groups, welcome ac-
uuisitions in the field of sculpture
of the Middle Ages, of which the
National Gallery heretofore had
only one example, Madonna
ascribed to Tino da Camaiano, in
the Kress collection.
The first of the Booth gifts is
Pieta in alabaster. which belongs
to the middle Rhenish school of the
. 18th century. Despite its small
dimensions and delicate technique,
this little group possesses the monu-
mental and expressive qualities
characteristic of the best medieval
work
The second group is an alabaster
relief still largely retaining its
original polychromy. 1t has been
attributed to the 18th century Not
tingham school of English alabaster
workers. However. according to the
gallery's announcement, certain su-
periorities in style and an unusual
scheme of iconography indicate
different origin-Upper Rhenish,
with perhaps influence from the
RheniSh-Rimini school of the 18th
century. Should this latter at
tribution prove correct the Ma
tional Gallery of Art will be able
to exhibit not merely an example
Of rare school, but an object
which links historically its extensive
collection of Italian sculpture with
its growing collection Of Northern
medieval art.

British tank forces. rumbling for
ward under cloud OF Allied bombers
and fighters. emerged behind the
prepared Axis positions to face the
open desert and the strength OF
Marshal Rommels armored forces.
For six hours the tanks slugged
it out in the sand and smoke until
the Rommel forces broke on the
engagement and retreated.
The 16-mile Allied drive through
perilous mine FIELDS and fortified
Axis positions not only brought the
first Allied tank victory but set the
stage for still greater battles. Tough
Australian troopers who led the ad-
vance slashed their way north from
Tel Ell Akakir and bottled up 4
large force of AXIS troops between
the corridor and the sea.
With his entire FL Alamein posi-
ton threatened by the British flank
ing movement in tine north, Marshal
Rommel sent his tanks into the
battle and furious, wide spreading
melee resulted.
The British tankmen. many OF
them riding and fighting in Amer
ican-made Gen. Grants and Gen.
Shermans. refused to concede an
inch of their hard-wcn ground and
finally forced the Axis forces to
retreat.
German artillery covered the Axis
retreat and the enemy then rushed
anti-tank guns to the field of battle
to hold the 9th Army's tanks at bay.
Through the drifting smoke of bat
tie and the wreckage of German
positions, Allied infantry regiments
moved up along the corridor to sup
port the forward tank units. Back
through the gap marched dazed and
weary prisoners. About a third of
the prisoners were Germans, the rest
Italians.
Many of them were suffering from
the shock of the terrifying artillery
barrage which preceded the final AL
lied penetration.
Planes of the American. British
and South African Air Forces fol-
lowed up Marshal Rommel's beaten
and retreating tank forces to pick off
as many vehicles as possible.
Light bombers alone have been
dropping more than 100 tons of
bombs on frontline enemy concen-
trations, 1t was disclosed today.
Serving as flying artillery" they
have been operating apart from the
fighting bombers, fighters and heavy
and medium bombers which have
been providing shuttle bombing
service" over the Axis lines reaching
as far as Tobruk and Crete.
Not q single light bomber has been
lost to enemy fighters although few
have fallen to enemy anti-aircraft
