A collection OF 2l4 pieces OF art
work, done by servicemen in their
spare time, will be on exhibit at the
National Gallery of Art today.
The exhibit includes the prize
winning entries of painting, prints,
drawings, sculpture and photographs
in the national Army art contest.
All were done by servicemen sta
toned in this country and come
from each of the nine military serv-
ice commands, the Military District
of Washington and the United States
Military Academy. Sponsored by
the Special Services Division of the
Army Service Forces, the contest
was devised as means of stimulat-
ing interest in the recreational values
of handicraft and to provide an out
let for the creative talents of serv-
icemen, an announcement said.
Some Professionals.
Much Of the work was done by
professionals now in uniform, but
the greater part is by amateurs.
Entry blanks show that in civilian
life many of the artists were farm
ers, clerks, dentists, bartenders and
machinists. About SO per cent of
the work shows the military infiu-
ence, but half of it depicts peaceful
scenes of civilian life.
The 214 pieces being exhibited
here until September 4, were chosen
from an estimated 5000 entries sub
mitted from all over the country.
Members of the selection jury were
Mai. Nathaniel Salstonstall, chair
man; Alfred H. Barr, Macgill James,
Elizabeth Mongan, Henry Varnum
Poor, Charles Sheeler and Forbes
Watson. Honorary chairmen were
Maj. Gen. Joseph w. Byron, direc-
tor of the Special Services Division,
and David E. Finlay, director of the
National Gallery of Art.
Prize winners in the contest also
were announced today. The winner
in each class will receive 500 War
Bond, and second and third prize
winners will be given certificates OF
merit.

The Open Letter in the Guar
dian of a recent date shows lack
of perspective on the part Of an
officer of a well established and
financed national organization,
Though not intended, it feebly
suggests the tactics of groups
pledged to Separate, divide, and
antagonize". Only propaganda
preceded by direct action is
truly effective.
The matter of equal accessi-
bility to Pullman accommoda-
for all persons on trains from
New York could have been set
tied before the lease for use of
tracks of the Pennsylvania R.R.
