Sugar Ray Robinson
 Wins Weller Honors
By SID FEEDER

NEW YORK, Dec. 2l.-At long last they've crowned the uncrowned champion of the WelterweightS- Sugar Ray Rcb!nson-and it hap pened just about in time, too, be- cause the Sugar Man isn't nearly so sweet in the swat department now as he was once.
 It took five years for the Harlem Stringbean to get his shot at the 147-pound bauble. When he finally got the ticket to the title taffy- pull last night, he arrive on Sched- ule in Madison Square Garden with a 15-round decision over Tommy Bell to take the championship Marty Servo abdicated when he retired with an aching nose in Sep tember.
 But those five years of waiting during which the uptown beanpole had 75 lights, won 73, lost one (to a middleWeigh) and tied another apparently took something out of the Sugar Man that he isn't going to get back.
 Bell laid an assortment of large left hooks on Sugar Rays whiskers that did the Harlem Hammer no good at all And one of them even dumped Robinson for a seven-count in the second round. And after Tommy himself hit the deck in the 11th and had Jumps raised on him in the 18th as Robinson tried to put the squeezer over, the Ohio hot-shot came charging right back to take the 18th and 14th.

ALASKAN SEARCHES FOR REINDEER IN
 N. Y. AND FINDS IT

NEW YORK, Dec. 2l-The sea- son being what it is, Mrs. William Henry McMullen of Brooklyn went cut Joking for a reindeer today and, by golly, found one.
 It happened to have bit of stuff fling in it, however.
 Mrs. McMullen thought it would be fun and make Christmas seem like old times to see a reindeer, even the stuffed species, because she's part Eskimo and has been dreaming of White Christmas" in Alaska: in Akulurak, Alaska, to be exact"
 Mrs. McMullen, a former junior hostess at the USO Club in An chorage, Alaska who flew to New York last summer to marry a CT she met while serving at the club, asked the USO here if it knew where she could find reindeer in these parts.
 After bit of collective head  scratching, the USO said maybe geo would be the place.
 Mrs. McMullen, who says she is part owner of a herd of reindeer back home, checked around and then told the USO that not even the Brooklyn zoo had a reindeer.
 The USO went to work again and finally advised that the best it could offer was the mounted var iety of the American Museum of Natural History.
 Mrs. McMullen put on her Alas kan parka and proceeded to the museum-where she wound up lec- turing on reindeer to group of school children who gathered around upon noting her unusual attire.

her intention of sharing this cost.)
Conditions upon which the United
States offered billion-dollar loan
to Poland, he said, could easily be
met If the present government were
not Russian influenced" The con-
'ditions, Stypulkowski said, were re-
turn to private enterprise, release Of
political prisoners, freedom of press
and elections and evacuation of Rus

tBoth Polish and United States
authorities in Washington say that
Poland never has asked nor been
offered a loan of anything like a
billion dollars. Export t-Import Bank
officials said the only such project
was Polish request for railroad
rolling stock and equipment which
Warsaw said would approximate
$500, 900, but on which no figure
was fixed by American officials, since
they expected to meet the request
out of surplus equipment in Europe.
Government officials said the United
States never had laid down any such
conditions for loan to Poland as
described by Stypulkowski)

Poles, but, said Stypulkowski, "at

Paintings BY Grippe
Shovn at Museum

Holland, as it was few decades
ago, is the major theme of a special
exhibition of paintings by Charles
Paul Grippe (who died in 1910, aged
80O, which is now on view in the
foyer of the Natural History Build
ing, National Museum, through
March.
More than so paintings are in
cluded, most of them small oils
done from nature during 20 years
the artist lived in Holland, and
which he kept as an "art nucleus.
They are gentle, peaceful scenes
many with figures; pastorals
beaches and the sea, forests and a
few villages, such as Katwyk. Sill
very gray-blue skies with low-hang
ing clouds and the somber toned
landscape of that country on the
North Sea are truthfully portrayed
in these paintings. His work won
him recognition in the art world of
the Netherlands, and examples
were owned by Queen Emma and
Queen Wilhelmina.
Mr.. Grippe was born in Picton
Canada; lived in New York in win
ter, and had summer home and
studio in Rockport, Mass. He was
the recipient of a number of gold
medals and other awards and is

Corcoran Has Exhibit
OF Children's Books

An enchanting exhibition of books
and drawings, selected from the
Bernard M. Meeks collection, show
ing the history and development of
children's books, opened Iat the
Corcoran Gallery of Art last Thurs
day, to remain through March %.
Mr.. Meeks, who now lives in Arling-
ton, started his collection about six
years ago. In view of the fact that
his war service as an officer in the
Navy interrupted the collections
growth, he has brought together, in
this short period, a surprising num-
ber of treasures.
The Corcoran's showing, the first
public appearance anywhere Of Mr..
Meeks' collection, is one of the many
events throughout the country to
commemorate the Tooth anniversary
of the birth of Kate Greenaway,
noted English illustrator of chill
dren's books during the latter half
of the 10th century. Fifteen items
on view are her work, one of them
a dainty professional of children
carrying exquisite flowers.
Children's books in early times, as
we know from examples of our own
Colonial period, must have bored
the little ones or depressed them
deeply. as the books were full Of
precepts and given to teaching by
horrible example. At the end Of
the 18th century, the first great
book of fairy tales was published in
Paris by Charles Perrault, whose
fame today rests upon them and
not on his serious" works. On view
is the second edition of these i'm
mortal series, published in 1742.
English publishers were leaders in
the field of juvenile literature. The
first of importance was John New
berry in London, 200 years ago. Sew
eral of his books are in the current
show, as is also a first edition of
THE Butterfy's Ball and the Grass
hopper's Feast" published by John
Harris in 1907, with hand-colored
engravings by William Muready.
The exhibition should appeal to
lovers of the graphic arts, as pic
lures are an important part of chill
dren's books. A particular treasure
is the first edition of Tales From
Shakespear," by Charles Lamb, with
copper plates after drawings by Will
liam Blake.
Although the exhibition empha-
sizes the early period of children's
books, it includes quite a few con-
temporary volumes and original
drawings by some of our best IL
Illustrators.

Elsa Rogo Honored
By MEXICO for Work

Elsa Rogo, American painter,
teacher and journalist, was the re-
cipient of the Order of the Aztec
Eagle, highest award which the
Mexican government can bestow on
a foreigner, at a ceremony at the
Pan American Union last Sunday.
The presentation was made by
Rafael de la Colina, Minister Pleni-
potentiary of Mexico, on behalf of
his government.
Following the ceremony, an ex-
hibition was opened to the public,
which represented in part the work
for which Miss Rogo was honored.
Fifteen years ago, she and her hus-
band, Stefan Hirsch, a noted Amer
ican painter (who is well represented
in the Phillips Memorial Gallery
collections), were living in Taxco,
the beautiful Mexican hill town be-
loved of artists. The passionate
desire of the village children to be-
come artists led Miss Rogo to estab-
lish and direct free school, some
what along the lines of the outdoor
painting schools established by the
Mexican government in other places.
But she was the first woman to
undertake such project, which was
so successful that the Mexican gov
ernment eventually incorporated it
in the public educational system.
The exhibition, which will remain
through March, comprises nearly 40
tempera paintings by the children
who studied under "Dona Elsa" and
learned from her not only how to
grind and apply paints, but also to
look at their picturesque and charm
ing environment and the busy peo-
pie OF the village, and to transcribe
what they saw. Miss Rogo insists
that she learned almost as much
from the children: Their devotion,
patience. avidity for work.
The collection is exhibited under
the patronage of the Ambassador of
Mexico and Sonora de Espinosa de
los Monteros and Ambassador Luis
Quintanilla, representative of Mex
leo on the governing board of the
Fan American Union. Miss Rogo
and her husband are now living at
Annandale-on- Hudson, N. Y, where

represent six centuries of medicine
or what passed for it. After seeing
some of the cures" one wonders
how any one lived long enough to
crawl out of his cradle.
In this theme show, esthetic
aspects are secondary to subject
matter. Nevertheless, there are
many works by old masters and
later noted artists: Lucas van Ley
den, Israhel van Meckenem, Rem
brandt, Abraham Bosse, Van Ostade,
Robert and George Cruikshank,
Thomas Rowlandson and others of
lesser fame.
Chronologically the exhibition be-
gins with French manuscript of
the late 14th or early 18th century,
which was an amulet worn around
the arm to ward off trouble or heal
it. Brightly colored woodcuts of
the 18th century illustrate Holy
Hermits" and the Healing of
Tobit." A 18th century German

AS might be expected, past CEN

and charlatans. There are many
prints in the current show depicting
these takers and their victims. An
outstanding item on this subject is
the aquatint in colors by Leveille

master. >sg
The exhibition concludes with
drawings by Mary Petty and Whit
