bition, which oLened at the Library
Of Congress las Monday evening,
under the auspices of the Washing
ton Society Of topographic Arts in
cooperation with the ONCE Of the
Co-ordinator Of Inter-American At
fairs. is q striking display of about
$50 items. SheWn concurrently is
q group of posters from United
States Government agencies, pro-
duced during tn, past few years.
Perhaps the most arresting fea-
ture of the exhb bition is its Inter
national" character. If one over
looked momenlarily the Spanish
and Portuguese languages in which
the slogans and appeals are printed,

ian or whatever, on the basis Of
design, colcr sc1eme or even sub
ject matter. Actually, eight Latin
American countries are repre-
sented: Argentina. Brazil. Chill.
Colombia. Cube Mexico. Peru and
Uruguay.
Many artists famous in their
respective countries, and some Of
them equally veI-known here, are
responsible for the designs. Among
them are Diego Rivera and Miguel
Covarrubias of Mexico who have
worked extensively in the United
States. The former. best known
here for his fre.co mural paintings.

three soldiers, surprisingly conserv-
