Which Reason?

Some of the War Production
Board officials opposed to the hos
pital-construction plan approved by
the Federal Works Agency are say
Ing that other parts of the country
need hospitals more than the Dis
trlct needs them, and that building
materials must be allocated on the
basis of need. They also are saying
that the construction program for
Washington is unnecessary, and that
additional bed space can better be
provided IN existing structures by
steps which will be recommended
later on.
Now, which of these reasons for
turning down the FWA program is
the correct reason? Is the FWA
program impossible of realization be-
cause no material is available, it's
unavailability being due to greater
needs in other parts of the country?
Or is it being turned down because
the WPB experts do not agree with
the FWA experts on the best methods
OF supplying additional hospital
beds?
One reason, not two, should be
given by WPB. If there is a lack of
material, then WPB should turn the
plan down on that ground and sug-
gest that FWA find some other
remedy.
But If material is available, al
though WPB believes more space can
be made available in existing struc-
lures and new ones are unnecessary,
then WPB should give that as the
reason for disapproval of the FWA
program. For that will narrow the
issue to the point where determina-
tion of final authority can be made.
Since Federal Works Agency has
been given the authority by Congress
to pass on needs and allot the money
to meet them, it is difficult to under
stand how WPB can now step in and
pass judgment on whether FWA is
right or wrong in its findings. If
WFB has the power to decide policy
as we'll as allocate material, then
FWA is superfluous agency and
might as we'll disband. 1t is confus-
Ing to have two agencies, both with
authority to approve a plan, but un-
able to agree between themselves.

Widener Opening

With the opening of those portions
of the National Gallery devoted to
the treasures given by Joseph E
Widener, Washington becomes the
most important art center of the
Western Hemisphere. The master
works to be accorded public display
for the first time this afternoon in
clude some of the very greatest
paintings in existence. Among them
are precious examples Of the genius
of Bellini, Raphael, Mantegna, Titan
El Greco, Murillo, Van Dyck, Rem
brandt, Vermeer, Frans Halls, Gains
borough Reynolds, Romney, Turner
and Constable The mere mention
of these names is music to the ears
of thousands of Americans who per-
haps never dreamed that the Capital
Of the United States eventually
would show such rare specimens of
beauty caught and held on canvas.
But Mr.. Widener gives magnificent
statuary also The David" of the
Casa Martelli, by Donatello, and the
"Pietro Aretino," by Jacopo Sanso-
vino, are only two of the number
of his contributions in the field of
sculpture. Exhibited with them will
be twelfth century chalice believed
to have been the property of Abbot
Suger. sponsor Of the Gothic ideal OF
design; glorious rock crystals
Limoges enamels, Italian majolica
ware, Chinese porcelains, tapestries
from the palace of Cardinal Mazarin,
furniture by fifteenth century crafts
men. jewelry for which Banvenuto
Cellini is credited, many volumes of
ngravings and other unique books.
The financial value Of the bene-
faction is incalculable. Even If
equal wealth were available for the
purchase of such art, the world no
longer affords it to be bought. Mr..
Widener's father, the late Peter A. B.
Widener, began to accumulate pic
lures more than six decades ago. The
collections thus started have been
perfected with keen enthusiasm and
discrimination by the son. What the
two men have achieved could not be
duplicated. Their investment Of
money was inconsequential as COM
pared with the spiritual endowment
which they gave. How much OF
sacrifice is involved may be surmised
from the fact that their home,
Lynnewood Hall at Elkins Park, near
Philadelphia, has been stripped OF its
most notable adornments that the
National Gallery might be enriched.
Mr.. widener completes his gift In
n moment of national crisis, and that
circumstance in itself is significant

to his countrymen. His generous
patriotism is OF piece with that
which inspired Andrew w. Mellon
and other collaborators with whom
he has been associated since first the
gallery was planned.

While eagerly awaiting news

from the front said great snrouds
of dust and smoke were draped
over a broad landscape already
baked by a broiling summer sun.
SCORCHED-EARTH?
Pravda said roaring blasts
scared a wide area, and it was
reasonable, observers here said,
to believe that the Russians
would destroy the oil installa-
tons before the Germans reach
them. The Maikop fields produc-
ed about per cent of Russia's
petroleum.
AS the battle spread south
ward dispatches told of burning
wheat fields, too, indicating that
in some sectors the Russians had
not been able to harvest the
grain before the approach of the
enemy, as they were able to do
farther north.
There was no report here in
dicating whether the Russians
who had been battling along the
Black Sea and Sea of Azov
coasts had been cut off by the
German advance south of Kus-
chevka. But it was possible most
of them were giving battle along
the Kuban.
AS fresh German Alpinists
drove from Armavir, dispatches
said swinging horsemen of
the Cossack villages defeated
them in the first encounters Of
the Caucasian foothills.
COSSACK AMBUSHES
Ambushes along the roads
along which the Germans were
pressing were the favorite Cos
sack tricks.
GA Berlin broadcast said the
Germans were advancing fan
like from Krasnodar toward the
Red fleet navy base at Novoros-
sisk on the Black Sea, from
Maikop toward a secondary ma
val base at Tuapse, and from
Voroshilovsk and Nevinnomys-
skaya toward the upper course
of the Kuma river.
(The Kuma river flows east
ward into the Caspian. 1t thus
appeared that the Germans af-
ter having penetrated the oil
regions north of the Caucasus,
were swiftly trying to drive
wedge from the Black Sea to the
Caspian where they could cut
the Allied supply line from the
Persian Gulf.)
