| An estimated 10000 persons
headed by the President and Mrs
Truman, last night Witnessed the
opening Of the first exhibition OF
ITO art masterpieces recently do
mated by Samuel H. Kress to the
National Gallery Of Art.
Chief Justice Stone, chairman OF
the board of trustees Of the gallery
greeted the Presidents party and
conducted 1t on an hour-long tour
of the galleries.
Those who could get by the guards
followed the President through the
buildings. Thousands more waited to
catch glimpse Of him as he passed
through the galleries.
Lady Astor in High Spirits.
With the presidential party was
Lady Astor, who arrived last week
from England for a visit in her ma
tive country. She was in high spirits
and her comments frequently evoked
the Presidents laughter.
Mrs. Truman, wearing an aqua
marine dinner dress imprinted with
a black cobweb pattern, promptly ex-
pressed her preference for the Ital-
ian paintings. But she was too dip
lomatic to speak for the President.
II wouldn't think of saying what
he likes" she laughed.
Outside, crowd without invita-
tions gathered to watch the entrance
of such notables as Lord Halifax,
the British ambassador; French
Ambassador Henri Bonnet and Ma
dame Bonnet, Vice Admiral Emory
S. Land, Gen. Sir Henry Maitland
Wilson, head of the British Military
Mission, and Chester Dale, art col
lector and National Museum trustee
Priceless Works Included.
David E. Finley, director of the
gallery, observed that the additions
to the Kress collection include many
priceless works and immeasurably
increase its value. He noted that il
is the third gift to the gallery by
the Kress Foundation since the gal
lery was opened in 1941.
The new Kress donations were
displayed with earlier donations In
"a galleries. Four of six newly
opened galleries contained the Kress
gifts and sculpture and paintings
by other donors, which have been
exhibited previously, were rear
ranged in the remaining two for
the event.
Mr.. Kress is spending the winter
in Florida, but he was represented
at the opening by his brother and
niece, Rush H. Kress and Mrs
Charles L. Avery.
Marine Bands Play.
Marine bands played in the two
garden courts as guests made their
way from gallery to gallery. A tense
moment interrupted the festivities
when woman toppled off the
marble steps of the east court
within few feet of Mrs. Truman.
Although she fell on her head, she
was laughing when a Navy officer
picked her up and quickly disap-
peared in the throng
Brig. Gen. Harry H. Vaughan,
military aide to the President, was
separated from his chief by the
crowd, but four secret servicemen
could not be shaken. They surround

asked if he planned to leave the
Veterans Administration:
"You never heard of me quitting
in a fight"
Here are some of the high lights
of Gen. Bradley's report on his six
months stewardship of the Veterans
Administrations:
About 81 per cent of the men
drawing CT unemployment pay get
their first check within two weeks
Men drawing this pay have in
creased from $4,000 on VI day to
$40 900 at present.
The finance department is cur
rently acting on applications for
loan guarantees under the GI bill
Most applications are in and out
of Veterans Administration Offices
within 48 hours.
While the agency's work load more
than doubled, it was possible to in
crease personnel by only so per cent
In the six-month period it was nee
essary to set up, classify and clear
with the Civil Service Commission
over 81, ass new positions. The aver
age time required to clear applica-
tions with the commission has been
cut from 20 to 2 days as result of
the commission agreement to let the
Veterans Administration hire its
own employees.
In January, SAL mail clerks were
appointed as compared with a total
of 224 during November and De-
cember. This will enable the agency
to cope with the 20-to-30 day back
log of mail job applications. In
addition, about 5000 job applicants
are being interviewed a week.
An average of 72,000 pieces of
mail were being received daily in
July, 1945. That daily average has
now grown to 1877 900 pieces of mail.
Gen. Bradley also reported prog
ress in his special services program
to bring recreation and entertain
ment to veterans hospitals and
homes; speed up in hiring doctors;
arrangements with the deans of
so of the Nations rs top medical
schools to cooperate with the Vet
Grams Administration, and progress
toward eliminating backlogs in sub
! sistence payments to student vet
Grams.

Mr.. Conner, however, said that

The Veterans Administration of

member of the Legion's National

among the Legionnaires with whom
he talked to be one of tolerance and
appreciation that much of the back
log which Mr.. STEELE criticized had
been inherited"
Herbert J. jacob, District De-

said his department very definitely
is going to investigate all the facts
concerning the Stelle attack" At
