Challenges Smith

Witte questioned whether the
MESA membership was large
enough to warrant having one OF
four labor representatives on the
board. He challenged Smiths
right 10 call strikes in defiance OF
President Roosevelt's no-strike
order. regardless of the MESA
heads refusal TO pledge continuous
production.
The full WLB Is dominated By
AFL and Go labor members
Snitt explained.
They are our enemies and We
wouldn't expect them 20 do any
thing for u.s." he declared.
'.zst November Smith declared
IA Labor holiday" and called out
5000 skilled workers in is war
plants here.
At the time Smith explained
that these plants were down in
protest over refusal OF the WLB "a
reinstate seven MESA workers
fired at the Briggs aircraft plant
because Of their part in a wildcat
strike.
'If one labor member OF the 12
on the WI4B was . representa-
tive Of the independent unions,
we would be satisfied" he PROM

In this country, it is true, we, too have
been tried in the same fire. But, even
II we have no sterner stuff in us, we had
great advantages. Our ordeal came at
the beginning, when we knew we'll our

Letters to the Editor
Impressions by Corcoran Artist
Now Soldier on the Pacific Front.


Now a Soldier On the Pacific Front.
To the Editor of The Star:
The following are excerpts from a Sc
ries Of letters written by former STU
dent of the Corcoran School OF Art. a
volunteer soldier now serving in the
South Pacific area. I am sure that thev
Will be OF interest to readers of The
Star as the impressions of an artist and
patriot OF whom his friends are proud.
RICHARD LAHEY.
sometimes think that If it were not
for the fact@ that you and one or two
others taught me to see some of the
things at which I was looking I would
lose my mind, living here in the wilder
ness, in the remotest corner of the earth:
but as 1t Is, even the wilderness is beauti-
ful-and full of endless problems to
challenge an artist.
The deep mud, so black and glisten-
Ing with water causes vehicles to
bog down and men to be spattered with
its blackness from their heads to their
feet. White, hot dust, shimmering in
the torrid sun, rises in dramatic clouds
that choke and blind the riders in mill
tary cars that rattle and bounce along
the makeshift roads in steady streams to
and from the sitting sands and oily wa
tiers of the beach. The jungle is depress-
ing with its dampness and mosquito
infested air, but its thick green foliage,
giant trees and tangled, thorny vines
are beautiful in their masSiVeness and
the variety of their texture. Their tor
tured shapes remind me of Ell Greco's
compositions - elongated saints arrang-
ing their spirit-like bodies in attitudes
of alteration around the Blessed Mother
Of God and her Infant Son.
On the nights Of the moon these
shapes are reduced to their simplest
forms, standing out in the strong relief
of two tones Digit and black, giving an
even more spiritual quality to the scene
because you know that on such nights
you are apt to come face to face with
your Maker at any moment.
Late in the afternoon as the sun is 60
ing down or early in the morning at the
first sign of dawn, the whole scene takes
on the aspect of an etching by Goya,
whose grim interpretations of war as he
saw it come closer to expressing the true
feeling of battle than any works of other
artists I have seen; but Goya did not see
war in the jungle-so even he cannot
tell you what it is like here
I understand that a great many
painters at home are trying to i'm
mortalize this conflict and I think it is
unfortunate that they spend their ef-
forts so uselessly. A work of art, to be
good, should be honest, and do not see
how any one honestly could tell of an
experience he never has had or express
Evening star., 1943-08-12

an emotion he never has felt. If those
people must paint the war, why don't
they paint the aspects of it that actually
touch their own individual lives?
But the civilian painter, trying to see
through the soldiers eyes, is no more
powerless than the civilian writer who
uses good printers ink and paper to
publish his breezy accounts of bat
tie. Even going to the front as an
observer will not reveal the things a
soldier feels in his heart. If the war
has taught me anything that will help
me along the pathway of life, it has
made me see (as only it could that
1t Is useless for an artist to paint
anything but his own emotions and
experiences.
I am enjoying the art magazine you
sent me. 1t is just the stimulation
need. 1t is that sort of thing that
keeps me from despair and gives me
the will to see this business through
and return to the life love. The loss
of that life is far worse than the
hideousness of battle and all the suffer-
ing that is the natural result of
war.
I doubt if I will try to paint anv
war pictures until the war is over. I
wish, however, that I could paint them
now. There is sort Of horrible beauty
about an air raid at night. Did I
ever tell you how one of the Corcoran
teachers stopped me in the gallery one
day and said: Bill, no matter what
happens, always remember that you are
an artist before all things? I have not
forgotten In fact this separation from
the world I love has made me all the
more determined to have and keep Il
for ever and ever.
Society demands dreadful sacrifice
OF its manhood, and even though
know that American society is worth
any sacrifice, I can't help thinking of
the time when my uncle, a captain in
the Army of the Confederate States
OF America, found a private sulking
before the breastworks at Petersburg
and asked in a.fury: Whats the matter
with you? Are you q baby?" and the
private simply said; Il wish 1 was a
baby and gal baby tool"
l do wish that the people at home
could see us over here as we really are
because 1t would wake them up to the
TACT that we have a war to fight.

THIS AND THAT
By Charles E. Trace,pell.

For this purpose, the nozzle Is used,
and put on the fine spray. This Is
played over the shrub for several min
utes, until all the leaves are dripping
wet. 1t may then be turned of. The
good will have been done. The close
formation Of the leaves will keep the
water from evaporating and there you
have fine shower bath for many birds,
including that household favorite, the
cardinal, or redbird.
Many observers who say they have
never seen a cardinal take a bath will
do so. once they install such q bird
shower bath.
The old standard way of supplying the
birds with water is by means Of the bird
bath.
This Is so common that many persons
forget about how good it is. Yet no
matter how much rain there is, the birds
will always need shallow places to drink
and bathe. in the hot weather. Nothing
quite takes the place of the bird bath,
with its saucer not more than an inch
or two deep, in a real dry spell.
Pools with sharply rising walls are too
deep.
The shallow bath is just the thing,
both for drinking and bathing.
Pedestal baths are good. but probably
not so good as simple plans of water.
either placed on the ground, or sunk
in 1t.
And bowl or pan will do. The saucer
of the formal bird bath may be taken
on its pedestal and put squarely on the
ground.
An old tin pan, or china bowl, will do
very nicely.
1t Is good, whether put on the grass,
on concrete, or on tin roof.
Lacking anything better, hollow may
be scooped in hard clay, and an excellent
bird bath formed.
The important thing about the bird
bath in summer is to keep it filed.
This is not trivial, but extremely i'm
portant. because there is nothing the
birds need more in hot weather. and vet
o1ten even the person truly interested
will overlook this matter.
That is why it is good thing to have
one person in the family responsible for
the chore. If this Is not done, the bird
bath will seldom get filled.
Often flock of happy birds will
empty bath in an afternoon, not
through drinking but by Topping the
water out with their wings.
small song sparrow will bathe for a
minute or more, Hopping his wings for
four or five seconds, then resting for two
or three seconds.
We have seen song sparrow repeat
this whole performance for as many as
so times.
pan of water in every yard for the
birds ought to be an ideal easy of full
fillment.
