hibition for SOLDIER artists early in
the year. Other museums in many
parts OF the country have invited
artists in the services to send works
to exhibitions.
Art for Morale.
Young artists indicted into the
services are frequently assigned by
their superior officers to projects
such as painting murals in clubs
and recreation halls, and are given
other opportunities to use their tall
entS and Skills. Furthermore. many
civilian artists have painted such
decorations as part of their contri-
button to the war effort. Local
units of the WPA art projects have
been active, as well as non Govern
mental groups.
The section of fine arts, FWA,
has been circulating art exhibi-
tions to camps, naval bases, etc,
for many months; private organiza-
tions throughout the country have
done the same. Art in National De-
tense, for instance, a non-profit
organization, was formed in Califor-
MIA last spring to operate inside
camps and on active service. Be-
sides sending exhibitions to service
clubs, 1t supplies material for camp
painting, sketching and handicraft
classes, provides competent instruc-
tion in and out of camp, and gives
to artists on active service, an art
kit containing paints, brushes, etc,
which fits their packs.
The National Gallery of Art, as
Washingtonians are aware, has had
Sunday programs all summer, espe-
cially arranged for service men, and

to make quick portrait sketches of

By Elena de Sayn.

The Barber of Seville" Rossini's
humorous opera, founded on a story
written at the close of the 18th CEN
tury by watchmaker's son who
bought his way to a French kings
court, has been placed on the market
by Victor $in a new and effective
form. Abridged to fit 16 discs, the
album contains the ibretto and il
lustrated pages of scenes which en-
phasize the high points of the opera.
This condensed production of
Charles L. Wagner, sung by Hilda
Riggiani, Lucille, Browning, Bruno
Landi, John Gurney, Lorenzo Alvary
and Wilfred Engelman of the Metro
politan Opera with Carlos Ramirez,
of Teatro Colon in Buenos Aires, in
the role of Figaro, is notable for the
quality OF voices and the animation
with which an unbroken succession
of famous soil, ensembles and reci-

boSchek
Another example of mirth and
youthful fancy, in the form of in
cidental music to Shakespeare
Midsummer Nights Dream" has
been released by Columbia, recorded
by the Cleveland Orchestra, Artur
Rodzinski, conducting. Composed
by Rossini's contemporary, Felix
MendelSsohn, at the age of II, and
for over a century enjoying the es-
TEEN of musician and layman, this
suite will never grow old as long as
there are capable instrumentalists
to play it. Not note is lost in Mr..
Rodzinski's swift execution of the
overture, the violins doing some ex-
cellent work in this and in the

ness and spirit.

of all these is obvious.
Art is not generally regarded as
having scientific aspects; but cam
outage exemplifies them. Carefully
calculated color schemes and dis
tortions of form add immeasurably
to the protection of the armed

posters leave much to be desired

President Suggests
Sea Otter Cargo Ship
Design Be Modified
Propeller Operating
Through Stern Would
Be Better, He Says
BY CLAUDE A. MAHONEY.

The group of Senators investi-
eating the unsuccessful tests of the
sea otter" type of cargo vessel to-
day had before them a recon-
mendation by President Roosevelt
for notifications in design and an
affirmation of presidential faith in
the original idea for a cheaply con-
structed cargo ship.
Chairman Gillette disclosed on
Monday that a three man Senate
subcommittee was considering teSti-
mony regarding the vessel that both
Secretary Knox and President
in original tests.
Mr.. Roosevelt told press con-
ference yesterday that he believed
there should be some modification
in design-a modification that per-
haps would allow the propeller
screws to be operated through the
stern instead of through the bottom
of the ship. The original design
called for a 6-foot propeller sunk
into the water amidships This had
interfered with navigation of shall
low bays and rivers. and had thus
reduced the value Of the ship.
Submarine Dodger.
The type of vessel, said to have
been suggested to the Navy by
President Roosevelt. was enthusi-
astically acclaimed when tests of a
model were made at the Carderock
Ln Doth rn
President and Secretary Knox said
that as the design grew in size
difficulties increased also. Secre-
tary Knox recently said that the
cost also was four times the origi-
nal estimate
The Senate committees interest
In the result of the tests arose
largely because of the buildup given
the potential craft as submarine
dodger and inexpensive cargo boat.
Set low in the water, it was to be
hard for submarine commanders to
see. and its gasoline power plant
several automobile-typ engines
we're to make the craft so cheap
that if necessary one could be
iunked or scuttled after one trip
to Europe.
The sea otter is of 500 tons and
Is 270 feet long. 1t would diSplace
900 tons when loaded. Senator
Gillette said the trial model was
made by the Livingston Shipbuild-
ing Co. for Ships, Inc. Govern
ment corporation formed with back
ing of the Reconstruction Finance
Corp. The boat was sent to the
Charleston Navy Yard for trials.
British Reject Model.
Results of the trials were said
to have been disputed before the
Senate committee. One report said
that the British. in whose interest
the feet of ships was planned for
lease-lend deliveries, had rejected
the model without even test run.
Proponents of the ship when it
was in drawing board and model
stages planned mass production of
such vessels in inland factories.
Since it was supposed to be able
to traverse shallow waters, it was
to have been brought to the seas
through rivers and canals. But
the outboard motor type of pro-
peller. through the bottom of the
hull. necessitated waterways as deep
as ordinary freighters, and thus one
of the principal excuses for its
construction was nullified.
