Paintings and drawings by United
states Marine Corps combat artists
comprise the exhibition which
opened at the National Gallery of
Art November 10, the 10th anpi-
versary of the founding of the corps.
1t Is one of the best of the many
collections of battle art which have
been shown in Washington in the
past few years. Considering the
long procession of documentary
shows sponsored by various branches
of the service, one might rea-
sonably expect that any additional
groups along these lines would pail.
But this Marine Corps exhibition
Is we'll done, interesting and dra-
matte in subject matter. 1t has
vital directness, due no doubt to the
fact that the artists, despite their
status as official Marine Corps COM
bat artists, were primarily fighting
men, who suffered their share of
battle casualties. Hence they were
participants rather than mere OBJ
servers.
The exhibition is introduced, SO
to speak, by group Of ink and
wash drawings by the late Col. John
Thomson, fighter artist and writer
of the Marine Corps in World War I
who has been called the godfather
of the corps present art program.
His drawings, which carry us back
to the dugouts and trench warfare
on the western front in France,
have something of the remote flavor
of "old, far-off unhappy things and
battles long ago." Nevertheless,
from the esthetic standpoint, they
hold their own ably with the con-
temporary work.
Maj. George M. Harding, who also
served in World War I as an off,
cial artist for the A. E. F., is one
of the best known in the present
group. His professional career as q
mural painter and illustrator is re-

nations do much better job than

Landscape Clubs

The Landscape Club OF Washing
ington is holding its fall exhibition
at the Arts Club through Novem-
ber 80. More than 80 oil paintings
water colors and prints represent
nearly as many artists, the ma.
jority OF whom are familiar as ex-
hibitors in former Landscape Club

the active membership Of this now
venerable Washington organization
bounded in 1919 is limited to 40.

siderable territory for the club mem

otherwise have. The present show
has industrial scenes by Edward r.

Social Themes
| At Smithsonian


Tragic aspects OF contemporary
life are themes OF prints by Karl
Schrag, on exhibition at the Divi-
sion Of Graphic Arts, Smithsonian
Building, through next Sunday.
More than 30 prints are included,
most of them done in etching, aqua
tint or combination of these
media. A few prints reveal the
artists ability to handle lithog-
raphy, line engraving and soft
ground etching.
Mr.. Schrag, now an American citi-
zen, was born in 1912 in Karlsruhe,
Germany, the son of a German
father and an American-born moth
er. At 18, he went to Geneva,
Switzerland, to study art, and a
year later to Paris, where he at
tended successfully the Beaux Arts
and two other schools. In 1885 he
went to Brussels to continue his
studies, and had a one-man show
there in 1898. The same year, he
came to this country, studied at the
Art Students League of New York
under Harry Sternberg. and at
Atelier II under Stanley Hayter.
Although he has spent most of his
adult life outside of his native land,
and has lived in the United States
since before the war tthe current
exhibition falls entirely within the
last six years. his work gives evi-
dence of his deep preoccupation with
social problems and an imaginative
awareness of the tragedy that has
overwhelmed Europe. The sombre-
ness Of his subjects is emphasized by
his frequent use of dark back
grounds, with figures done in white
line, or dramatically Illuminated.
"Fugitives" huddled in a truck,
driven through rainy night, a pris-
oner of the Nazis standing before a
jeering crowd, two Dance of
Death" motifs, two versions of a
symbolic crucifixion, and a pathetic
young couple, Love Amidst the
Ruins" are typical of the themes
which interest Mr.. Schrag. Even
the few prints which deal with sub
iects not inherently sad, take on
pathetic implications through his
Interpretation. Evening Sum-" for
example, illuminates an old couple
looking from q western window; it
seems to imply they haven't many
more days to feel its warmth.
Work by Karl Schrag has been in
cluded in the 100 selected prints"
and 80 prints of the year" collec-
tions. Furthermore, the American
Institute of Graphic Arts chose the
edition Of r. L. Stevenson's THE
Suicide Club" illustrated with 18
original prints by Karl Schrag, as
one Of the 200 finest books pub
lished in the United States during
the last 10 years" Seven of these
illustrations. combined etching and
aquatint, are included in the current
exhibition.
A few distractions are presum-
ably the result of Mr.. Schrag's work
along abstract lines in Hayter's
Atelier. One of these, Voices and
Moving Shadows" takes off from a
winged horse motif. Aided by the
title. the spectator ought to be able
to grasp something OF the artists
intention here.

 Veterans can choose their school from state-approved lists. There ls almost no type of instruction that is generally excluded but approval won't be given for school in f1y-by- night or crackpot enterprises set up to cash in on the program. Al- though the bill says hopeful scholars over 25 must show that their schooling was interfered with by going into service, so far this is being interpreted very liberally when you can pass the chosen schools entrance requirements. You don't even have to rush into it, Veterans Administration edu- cation officials say. The two-year time limit after wars end for start ing school under the CT Bill of Rights gives you time to look around, or take a jib for a while before you make up your mind.

Washington. Dec. 22.-You won't have to take a reliminary course in red-tape in order to stalt to school under the CT Bill ot Rights plan Veterans Administration SpokeSmen insist. A week should cover the time your application takes to go through. If you're home from the wars with a firm grip on your rec ords. which in this case means noth- ing more elaborate than a certified copy of your discharge paper, your application, which is approved in your regional office without going to Washington should go through in a few days. That may not be true later when offices get moved under.
 CT Bill or Rights gives veterans with 90 days service a years schooling (plus as much time as they were in service) with a 500 limit on tuition, fees, books and $50 monthly living expenses, or SIS with a dependent. It will take some legal hemming and having to find how this will work out in special cases. Opinion so far is that if two veter- ans are married both will get full allowances. Men veterans will prob-
