Walter Reed Finds
Art Is Important
To Morale of Men
In Convalescence
By Florence S. Berrymon

Art has been an important factor
in the morale of many convaleScent
servicemen throughout the country
At Walter Reed General Hospital
and the convalescent section at
Forest Glen, art training has been
available for more than two years
through the art division of the Rec
Cross Arts and Skills Corps, which
Is supervised at the hospital by the
occupational therapy department
The program began at Forest Gler
in January, 1914. and at Walter
Reed six months later.
There is one essential difference
in teaching at the two places. Al
Forest Glen the men are able to &C
to central studio, with all the ad-
vantages of place arranged and
equipped for the study of art. Al
Walter Reed, the volunteer ar
teachers work in the wards, as most
of the men are bed patients.
The astonishing total of $50 boys
studying art at Walter Reed in the
past two years, gives some idea Of
the scope of the work. Naturally
the turnover" is fairly rapid. Some
of the boys recover and are dis
charged others go off on leave; still
others are transferred to another
hospital Nevertheless, not a few OF
the boys discover latent talent, are
receptive to many instruction
periods. and some of these young
student artists will undoubtedly &c
on to become professionals.
Enthusiastic Over Results
Seeing early last month an exhibi-
ton of more than so paintings and
drawings by servicemen who were
patients at Walter Reed, I became
interested in the present status OF
the art program, and returned last
week to meet some OF the student
artists and their instructors.
sdrs. Clement Winston is one OF
the few still active of 13 artists who
have taught at Walter Reed since
the beginning of the program, ano
Is enthusiastic over the results.
I'VE have helped some of the mer
to relax and enjoy themselves in
the thrill of a new pleasure in q
bright new field of work anc
thought" she said This is oul
principal purpose and when we sue
ceed it is indeed lasting pleasure
with us as well as with them"
Student Wins Awards
Several servicemen artists now al
Walter Reed, also expressed en-.
thusiasm for the art course. Two
of them had won awards in the
recent exhibition, and all are active
and prolific producers. T/3 Richarc
Stevenson, who won the first aware

fourth prize in the recent Times.

| With the summer half gone and
many vacations already over, organ
lied bridge players of Washington
are beginning to consider events for
next month. Their plans will be
matured with the return of leading

Accounts state that the tourna-

in the history of the league, with
participants representing every
State and the District of Columbia
1t is the first time there has been a
real national representation. Be-
| fore the war there was a separate

| President George L. Kathan of
the Federal Bridge League states
that his organization will open in
September and be located in its new
headquarters in the recreation hall
of All Souls Church at Sixteenth
and Harvard streets. AS the space
is not quite as large as at the old
location in the Wardman Park
Hotel it will probably not be pos
sible to accommodate more than
three divisions during the coming
season. Mr.. Kathan advises pros
pective players to organize their
teams as soon as convenient in
order that they may be listed. The
same rules as to membership quail
f1cations will prevail.
| Among other groups to start play
| ing next month will be the National
Press Club players. Arrangements
will be made by John c. Atchison,
chairman of the Bridge Games
/ Committee. The Washington Bridge
Leagues schedule has not yet been
made up but will be undertaken by
DR.. N. j. McHugh, president, who
has been at the tournament in
Brooklyn.
The master point game with eight
tables in play at the Stephan Studio
was won by James G.. Stone and
Miller Roberts, with DR.. McHugh
and DR.. w. H. Gorton, second and
Mrs. William Poissant and Mrs.

Even though our relations with
Russia seem to be less strained as
a result of the conference of the
big Three" ministers, there are
still many top government Off
Gals who share with the people
the feeling that we don't know
enough about what does go on in
Russia. If the press had been
free to listen in and report the
conference talks and decisions
it would undoubtedly have done
wonders to encourage amicable
relations, but as it is, Russian Sc
crecy is becoming a major bone
of contention in reaching salts
factory agreements.
It is the feeling here that Sec
rotary Byrnes, President Truman,
and a few other government heads
know a lot more about Russia
than they feel they can confide
in the people-but there is con-
siderable doubt that even those
who have conferred with Stain
have a really clear insight into
Russian plans. Russian goals and
Russia's willingness to cooperate
with our country. There is one
cheering angle to the picture,
however: practically all of our
government leaders who have
talked with Premier Stain re-
turn to this country with increas-
ed respect for him and trust in
him. We can only conclude that
if they know something we don't
know, it is something which Gre
ates optimism in the outlook for
our future relations with Russia.
1t is not anticipated that the
congressional holiday will do
much to end the arguments over
the future of the OPA and price
control, since congressman report
that they find as much disagree
ment over the subject among the
people as they have found in
Washington. The chances are.

Washington, D. G.. - President
Truman is showing no inclination
to back down on his proposal for
labor legislation involving fact
finding committees and cooling
off" period before strikes are
carried out. And returning con-
gressmen, who have been home
gathering the sentiments of their
constituents, predict that the
President will either get his bill
passed, or that legislation stronger
than the President asks will gain
support.
For the congressman say that
the people back home are getting
really excited about the labor
management pickering which has
delayed production. Not only are
the people getting impatient over
waiting for postwar production
to get going, but some congress-
men say there is a growing fear
among the people that labor prob
lens may result in a severe de-
preston.
Workers" said one congress-
man, must not only produce but
they must keep their consuming
power, if we hope to have pros
perity." He pointed out that the
backlog of purchasing power,
which has been built up through
out the war and which is needed
to assure prosperity, is fast evap-
Grating as millions of men are
using up their savings to support
themselves while striking.
When congress gets back to
work, labor will be the Number
One subject on the calendar and
we can expect an end to the pus-
sy-tooting on this touchy subject
which has been so apparent dur
Ing the war. One of the big fac
tors which has brought about a
noticeable change in attitude is
the charge of ''cowardice" which
Phillip Murray, president of the
CIO, hurled at the President.
That made the people mad-and
1t is the concensus of opinion here
that labor lost major battle
when the public heard Mr.. Muir
'ay's statement.

Sometimes a room hides its
light not under bushel but under
layers of dust. Even a very thin
film of dust can obscure consider
able light, household management
specialists say.
If your home suddenly looks
dim and gloomy, it may need a
little extra busting and polishing
of all light centers, lamp bulbs
and shades, mirrors and windows
as well as all decorative objects.
Dust often clings to volatile oil
from cooking or smoke which has
settled on light bulbs, windows
and mirrors. Washing is usually
better way to remove greasy
dust than busting.

Brushing is better than rubbing
for extra soiled places on blouses,
underwear and other delicate
fabrics when washing these by
hand, say textile specialists. Col
lars, cuffs, shoulder straps and
other parts that get the most soil
also get the most wear. Rubbing
during laundering adds to that
wear, especially if the fabric is
rayon. Brushing with medium
stiff brush is easier on fabric and
on hands and often removes soil
more quickly and effectively.

Timely Hints
By RUTH CURRENT

When thaWed before cooking
poultry cooks more evenly and
with greater economy of fuel.
It may be thawed slowly in a
refrigerator. A three or four
pound bird will take overnight OF
longer to thaw completely, or ii
may be thawed at room temper
ature, in which case it should be
watched closely. Once thawed,
cook poultry without delay be-
cause thawed meat is more per-
ishable than meat freshly killed.
Don't try to hurry thawing by
soaking the frozen meat in water,
hot Or cold. Soaking causes loss
of good juices.

Lus:tis Faces CenturyT ern1

New York, June 21-(UP)-Hen- hy Lrstig, millionaire restaurant owner, and two of his associates each faced possible 112-year sen- Gence today for defrauding the Gov- ernment of nearly $3,O00, 900 in in- come taxes, but . long legal battle was foreseen to keep them out of aail.
 LIustig, 55, 8 rags to riches figure who rose from humble puShcart peddler to owner of the swanky Eongchamps Restaurant chain and six other corporations, was con- victed yesterday on g counts of fraud and conspiracy.
 Also found guilty on similar counts were Lustig's nephew, E. AL len Lllstig, 54, secretary-treasurer of his uncle's many corporations, and Joseph Sobel, 55, chief accountant.
 Each of the three is liable to 8 maximum sentence of 112 years, plus fines of $23O, 900, computed on the basis of five years and $10.OO0 fine for each of the 9 counts of fraud, and two years and $10,000 fine on the conspiracy charge.
 Attorneys for the three defend- ants immediately entered g. motion to have the verdict set aside as con- trary to law and the weight of the evidence. They said they would fight the conviction through the higher courts.
 Judge Kennedy ordered bail of $5 900 continued and set July 10 as the date for sentencing.
