Drawings by Henry Moore
Shown at Phillips Gallery

Drawings by Henry Moore, widely
regarded as England's leading alb
stract sculptor. comprise the April
exhibition of the Phillips Memorial
Gallery. Approximately 40 draw
lngs in chalk and wash, crayon, pen
and ink, and one work in sculpture,
fill the print rooms. The great ma
jority are loans from private COL
lectors and the Museum of Modern
Art; about 10 have come from a
New York art dealer.
The show is not an easy one for
the layman to comprehend, and If
he learns to understand it, by read
ing the excellent foreword of the
catalogue condensed from Geoffrey
Grigsons monograph on Henry
Moore and other interpretations, he
will not necessarily appreciate or
care for the exhibition.
But every one with intellectual
curiosity will make an effort to un-
derStand new or strange mainfesta-
tions of our contemporary life in
its innumerable phases. The gen.
eral impression one gets of the ex-
hibition is that it is made up draw
ings of pallid monolithic figures
with unnaturally small heads and
feet. Un fact, Mr.. Moore's figures
are around 10 or II heads tall, ap-
proximately the proportions Of the
mannequin fashion figure; but
that is all the two have in common }
Mr.. Moore's figures are reclining,
standing or sitting, sometimes in
abstract space, or in extremely bare,
simple rooms with low benches. In
some OF the drawings the figures
are completely abstract, resembling
bones, or stones, or prehistoric arti-
facts.
Several years ago he created a
statue OF the Madonna and Child"
for the Church of st. Matthew in
Northampton, England. At the
time OF its unveiling he made a few
remarks to an English critic about
his aims, which were reprinted in
the Magazine of Art. These seem
so apropos of the present exhibition
that they are worth repeating.
There are two particular motifs
or subjects" he said, which I have
constantly used in my sculpture in
the last 20 years; they are the
reclining figure idea and the
mother and child idea. Perhaps
of the two the mother and child
has been the more fundamental
obsession. The . Madonna
is seated on a low bench so that
the angle formed between her nearly
upright body and legs is somewhat
less than a right angle and in this
angle of her lap, safe and protected,
sits the Infant. ."
Mr.. Moore's exhibition will re-
main through April 20.
Pan American Features

Today is Pan American day, an

of Bolivia and Sonora de Andrade.

School Pupils Show
Variety of Expression
Howard University's Gallery OF
Art is filled with the work of pupils
Of the District elementary, junior
and senior high schools, Of divi-
sions 1913, of which Rosa N. Hamp-
ton is art director. More than 200
paintings, graphic arts, prints, ex-
amples of costume design and con-
struction, and crafts in many media
will remain on view through next
Thursday, completing a fortnight's
showing.
Covering nearly two school years,
this exhibition aims to portray the
variations in styles in art as ex-
pressed by the pupils, who are en-
couraged to express themselves in
dividually. 1t is gratifying to see,
however. that they are also taught
to draw. Self-expression can be a
good gift, but only if it Is clothed
in a form intelligible to some kind
Of an audience.
Every school in the four divisions
is represented in the exhibition,
with a single work each, from some
OF the elementary schools and ap-
proximately 80 from Armstrong
High School. Many creditable items
are on view, ranging from abstrac-
tions to naturalistic representation.
1t is practically impossible to single
out the most gifted children, when
so many allowances must be made
for the wide variation in ages and
experience. The work of the high
school pupils is inevitably more in
teresting to the general public,
which Is welcome to visit the exhibi.

Union Seeks Rule
Changes Insfeod
Of Wage Increase

New York (FP)-A strike of 1,100
trainmen, brakemen and ticket collec-
tors on the Long Island Railroad was
set for August % after the men vot-
ed more than 80 per cent in favor of
a walkout.
The strike was called by Local
1904, District so, United Mine
Workers (AFL), to force changes in
work rules in addition to a wage in
crease of f16c an hour. The company
offered an 1870 increase in line with
the general railroad wage pattern.
The UNIV members were not COW
cred by the recent rail settlement
worked out by President Truman
which gave the unions an additional
2hc hourly increase in exchange for
"a one-year moratorium ON rule
changes.
Although the railway labor act re-
quires a 60-day cooling off period
after an emergency board has been
appointed, William Dalrymple, direc-
tor of District SOS railroad division,
said: "We do not want to wait until
these men die before we get the rules
changed. We want action" The Aug.
% date represented 30-day waiting
period, he added, since strike notice
was first served July % and negotia-
tions had been dragging on unsuc-
cessfully since February.
Among the rule changes asked by
the union, President John j. Sayers
of Local 1904 said, are: work on the
basis of 26-day month instead of 80
without cut in pay, straight eight
hour day and me-and-a-half for
overtime, two-week vacations and
sick leave with pay.

(In recent speech at the Paris
peace conference, Soviet Foreign
Minister Vyacheslav Molotov cited a
book by George Seldes, American
newspaperman and editor of the
weekly newsletter In Fact, as evi-
dence that press monopolies control
the bulk of the news published in the
United States.
The book Molotov referred to was
The Facts Are +. published private
ly by Seldes in 1912 after several
publishers had rejected it because it
was too "outspoken."
In the following article, written ex-
clusively for Federated Press, Seldes

ceilings, winning lasting gains Tor
workers. But unaffiliated unions used
the strike to force the government
dictated wage-price formula of Feb.
Ia which broke price ceilings.
From then to June 80, OPA grant
ed 5O4 industry-wide price increases,
and individual increases to some H.
500 companies. Wholesale prices rose
per cent from February through
June. These price increases of course
forced retail prices upward at a
slightly later date, so that cost OF
living had already risen by 3 per
cent when OPA expired on June 80,
and the rise was gaining speed
The survey further declares:
practically the entire living cost
rise has occurred since the steel work
ers (CIO union led by Philip Muir
ray) forced the price ceiling break in
February, and as a direct result OF
that break"
The steel unions wage victory
which was won after the government
had agreed to raise steel prices, had
the result, the AFL says, of bring
ing a flood of demands for price in
creases. The resulting pressure has
all but ended effective price control =
The steel workers, the federation
points out, "were offered a 15-ceEt
wage increase without strike and
without breaking the price ceiling
their insistence on striking and bring
ing the Government into collective
bargaining won them only 3h cents
more; they have already lost cents
from living cost rises resulting from
their action and stand to lose great
deal more as prices rise further"
The AFL asserts that if the steel
workers had been "willing to stick
to genuine collective bargaining un-
der price ceilings, they would have
their Is cents today, and all other
Americans would have been spared
immense losses through the raplo
living cost rise"
1t is explained that the federation s
study of wage gains is not complete
and that the figure of gains totalline
more than billion dollars includes
only those wage gains on which it has
obtained. accurate information. 1t does
not include health and welfare plans
bonuses, vacations, ETC., which would
add millions more dollars of value.
