By Florence S. Berrymon

The Arts Club opened last Sun
day its annual summer exhibition
of works by members, which will
remain through September. No less
than 10 items, the great ma jority
of them paintings in oil or water
color, fill the gallery, reception
rooms and hall. Some of the
artists are represented by as many
as four paintings.
The exhibition is strongly con-
servative, but has more variety and
interest than the ANIMALS of last
summer and the year before. There
Is a good proportion of works which
one will not tire of seeing on the
walls for the next three months. AS
a matter of fact the Arts Clubs
annual has a larger percentage of
the type of work one imagines the
public would like to own than has
the Art for the Home groups
exhibition now at the central Public
Library revieWed also on this
page. On the other hand there
are in the Arts Clubs annual some
emateurish and fumbling works. the
presence of which detracts from
the show as an entity.
Three prizes and three honorable
mentions were awarded by a jury
composed of Eugen Weisz, painter
and instructor at the Corcoran
School of Art, and Margaret P.
Dickey, art teacher at Anacostia
High School. First prize, $50 given
by the Arts Club, went to Lee
Atkyns' large panoramic landscape,
Blue Knob" with an airy, cloud
filled sky-a pleasing work. Jean
Donner Groves pink stone infant
Eric" strikingly realistic piece
of sculpture, received second prize,
a box of oil paints. Certain club
members pointed out that her
painter-husband will enjoy this
prize.) Beach Umbrella" by Mig
non Atchison, little oil done in
grayed colors. received third prize,
a box of water color paints. Sec
ond and third prizes were given by
George S. Muth, president of the
Arts Club.
Honorable mentions went to
Catharine Melton. Ralph Totten
and Charles Hatch Lownsbery. Miss
Meltons profile portrait Gertrude"
depicts plain little girl with
character and vitality: she also
shows a fresh and colorful flower
painting. Mr.. Totten's Florida
Fishing Pier is essentially simple
in composition, the sky and pier
being separated by line of figures,
some in bright colors. Mr. Lowns-
bery's unpretentious pencil por-
trait is one of the shows very few
examples of graphic arts.
Several portraits and figures i'm
pressed me as admirable: Girl With
a Pink Bow" by Mathilde M Leis-
enring (who also is represented with
a toneful study of magnolias) );
Helen E. Townsend's excellent
crayon portrait of Mrs. Ralph Rich
ards, close likeness, restrained but
vital. and Henry Olson's italian
Orphan" in water color, an agree
able surprise and rather a depart

Of the world, this first of the AP
Animals is organized according to
formula both simple and sound.
an introduction summar-
izing 1914 as background for the
story of l945, there is chapter for
each month, plus day-by-d
of major events. There
are also 64 pages of generally i'm
pressive news pictures, roundup
chapter on the arts and sciences, a
chapter on the outlook
for 1916 and fairly good index for
the convenience of people who want
to look up facts in hurry.
Everything considered, besides
being handsomely printed, the An
nual is designed to serve a wide and
varied public, particularly those
people-young and old alike-who
do not follow the news closely from
day to day and who are looking for
something to give them the history
of a year all in one piece, a we'll
rounded picture drawn in reasonable
and nonsoporific perspective. This
is what the Annual attempts to do.
Written in a broadly interpretive
manner, 1t deals with more than the
great happenings. Like Frederick
Lewis Aliens only Yesterday" it
deals as we'll with the trivia, the
humor. the temper, the songs, the
fashions, the personalities. the &C.
centricities and all the little funny
and pathetic things that can illumi-
nate an age. In that way it seeks to
capture and preserve the flavor of
the hour so as to delight and In
struct contemporary readers. and
perhaps give later generations a
deeper insight into the nature of our
time.
This sort of thing, of course, Is
not easily done. 1t calls for the
balanced judgment Of a topnotch
historian and the perceptive treat
ment of a first-rate novelist or poet
philosopher, and both are lacking in
the AP Annual. BY and large it is
well-Written. but occasional lapses
into too-rich and too-emotional
prose mar the whole. and there is
an unfortunate tendency to sing
the praises of objective journalism
in one sentence and to be quite un-
interpretive or opinion
ated in the next Another short
coming is the disproportionate en-
phasis placed on some subjects;
radar and jet propulsion. for ex-
ample, receive no more notice than
certain absurd little songs or medi-
ocre movies and books.
1t would be captious. however, to
make too much of these defects
particularly since 1945 was the most
tumultuous and eventful year In
history-the widest and least man.
ageable tale of all time. To state
the case mildly, Mr.. Landstrom had
his hands full trying to summarize
it and put 1t in order between the
covers of this somewhat massive
book. The result certainly is not
flawless, but it is good enough tc
merit a place in every ones library
and to encourage the expectation
that the APPS new project, building
on the pioneer work of volume /
may well mature into one of the
worlds most rewarding human stor-
les long before the coming of vol
ume 98.

Numerous Flower Studies
Show RANGE of Color

Flower studies are numerous, as
usual. Very effective is Evelyn
Lloyd's Midsummer Show" a bou-
quet in red, yellow and other warm
colors, outlined in black. May Mar
shalls fiat, decorative "Petunias" in
window overlooking the sea,
ranges from bright blue through in
termediate colorS to the violet red
of the flowers. Clara Saunders
flower piece, done in fairly heavy
impasto, is the best work have seen
by her in some time. Chinese JAR"
by May Shafer, is concerned with a
large bouquet in bright red, green
and white. Alice McGlauflin also
shows flowers, as featured in a street
stand, "Springtime in Washington. :"
Minna Gill affords the observer a
glimpse through a partly opened
window of a red bud tree in full
bloom. Roses and Honeysuckle, -
by Frances Carroll Todd, Is an all
over pattern in gray and rose, in a
frame closely related to the painting
Rural and urban scenes compose
the most numerous subject class.
Minor Jameson, Henry Olson, Gar
net Jex and Robert Motley show
paintings typical of their respective
choices of subject and modes of ex-
preston. Edward Groves Moe
turne, lexington a night scene in a
railroad yard, appears to be very
true in its handling of illumina ton.
Water colors of Virginia Hills
by Ethel Foster, and a view on a
mountain by Genevieve Hendricks
are light and pleasant. A large
painting of a park in light yellow
and red, by Mrs Hans Kinder, is
the only landscape in a modern
ldiom.
Genre subjects are almost non
existent. Rowland Lyons gay little
oil, Big Top, depicting an elephant
in clowns attire, and Gladys Milli-
gan's lively water color and pen
drawing of a carousel are the only
works that might be classed as
genre. At any rate, they are both
very winning pictures.
Ethel G. Pyne shows a cIeanly
executed coat of arms.

For Dance Lovers
THE BORZOI BOOK
OF BALLETS
By Grace Robert. (Knopf,
$3.50


s4.50.)
I would recommend this book
heartily to anyone who is interested
in ballet. 1t will serve equally as a
record for the experienced ballet
goer and work of instruction for
the novice. Chapter by chapter it
takes up sixty-three outstanding
ballets which have been performed
in America, gives their essential
features in each production-as mu-
sic, cast, choreographer, decor and
plot. In an introduction 1t offers a
brief survey of the ballet in our
country. 1t is abundantly illus
trated with photographs and con-
tains glossary of ballet terms. It
is useful book. decidedly worth It's
price to anyone caring about its
subject. NC. r,

B MILLION SENTENCE

WASHINGTON Federal Judge T. Alan Goldsborough today fined the United Mine Workers Union S3,5G0,000 and John L. Lewis $l0.- eco for contempt and then he is- sued an injunction against the coal strike pending final court rulings.
 The injunction will replace the restraining order which Lewis ig- nored in precipitating the coal crisis. II was this act which brought the contempt of court sen- tences today
 The injunction will remain in force until Judge Goldsborough rules on "declaratory judgment asked by the Government
 Such judgment will determine whether Lewis broke his contract covering the Government held mines legally or illegally.
 If the injunction also is dis cbeyed, Lewis may again be cited fer contempt, and. if adjudged gull ty subjected to additional penal ties
 Union lawyers promptly filed mo- tice of appeal. which is expected to go quickly to the Supreme Court
 They moved that the Judgment be suspended pending appeal.
 Lewis heard the sentences im- passiveiy. although his face muscles twitched
 Government counsel sad 1t would net object to stay Il the union would post bond and file appeal papers by tomorrow morning.
 The fine against the union rep resents S250,000 a day for the dur ation of the coal strike, thus far.
 In passing sentence after tense round of behind -the-scenes confer ences with lawyers for both Gov ernment and union, Judge Colds borough said:
 This tthe coal strike) is one of the most serious threats that has ever developed in this country
 T don't think anyone wants to see the unions kicked a mortal blow nor any blow which would turn back the conditions of labor
 T can't say whether labor has greater friend ill this country than 1 am
 Goldsborough said the court does not see in the recommenda- tions ol the Government a desire to strike at the miners
 Describing the coal crisis as "an evil, monstrous thing" the iurist said.
 Tt means hunger and cold and restitution. It's threat to demo- cratic government itself.

 The Republicans will have con trol when the new Congress is or ganized Jan. 3, and there seemed no doubt of their determination to investigate the allegations despite:
 CD A denial by the War De- partment that conditions are as bad as described

 It was the four Republican mem bers of the Senate War Investigat- ing committee who made public, over objection of the six-man Dem ocratic majority, report by com mittee counsel George Meader, de tailing the charges
 The Meader report recounted tales of immoral conduct by some o1 tha American occupation troops, unsatisfactory performances by ne- o,.o +c,C,oe ,,,i-oo,,j,ct l,,, offiearc and an extensive influx of Jews and other displaced persons into the United States zone.
