Transportation Old and New
The thrill of early motor races
is illustrated in special exhibition
by Peter Helck, presented by the
Division of Engineering, in the auto
mobile hall, Arts and Industries
Building, National Museum. More
than 80 works in oil, gouache and
water color painting, etchings, pen
and wash and color plates from Es-
quire) depict old and new transpor-
tation subjects: Trains, trucks and
buses as well as automobiles. This
show will remain through April II.
Peter Helck, native New Yorker,
was in his teens during the great
days of automobile racing the first
decade Of this century, and he be-
came intensely interested in the con-
tests. In recent years he has painted
such subjects as episodes in the Van
derbilt Cup and other races, with
considerable variety obtained by
different scenic backgrounds. The
Vanderbilt Cup lin actu." is included
in the exhibition, and the artist
himself is the happy owner OF the
Locomobile racing car with which
George Robertson won the 1903
Vanderbilt Cup Race on Long Island.
Mr.. Helck studied art with Sir
Frank Brangwyn, Harry Wickey,
Sidney Dickinson and William de-
Leftwich Dodge, all of them eminent
artists. He has motored and
sketched in the British Isles, many
countries of Europe, North Africa
and the Mediterranean. as well as
Canada, Mexico and much Of the
United States. Although he has
resided for long periods in European
capitals, he has always maintained
studio in New York City.
He is affiliated with large num-
ber of professional artists organi-
cations, and has won many awards
for his work both in fine" and
commercial art. He is represented
in important permanent collections.
He is also a wel-knoWn illustrator
for such magazines as Saturday

THE Neiv Sbirit at Hozoard

The work of LIE Corbusier, widely
regarded as Europe's greatest con-
temporary architect, who is now in
the United States as an architec-
turaI advisor to the Headquarters
Commission of the United Nations,
is comprehensively represented in
an exhibition at Howard University,
to remain only through this week.
It is sponsored by James v. Herring
and Howard Mackey, heads of the
departments of art and architecture,
respectively.
This Swiss French architect is
also a painter, writer and lecturer.
Each phase of his career is seen in
this exhibition, which is also an
important experiment in visual
presentation, a new development in
exhibition technique, designed and
constructed by the Walker Art Gen.
ter, Minneapolis, and circulated by
the American Federation of Arts
Twenty mine large caption panels,
telling the story in quick visual or
more detailed literary messages are
augmented with Photographic blow
ups, oil paintings, water colors,
drawings and facsimile pages OF
books.
LIE Corbusier's famous statements,
''The house is machine for living
in" '"Tear man away from his first
machine age" and THE skyscrapers
of New York are not tall enough"
are more widely known to the public
than his very real achievement in
architecture.
But his work is SO revolutionary
that to most eyes. his interiors ap-
pear almost as bleak and bare as an
empty barn.

The Miniature Painters, Sculptors
and Gravers Society of Washington
is holding its 18th annual exhibition
in the foyer of the Natural History
building, National Museum, through
March 80, in conjunction with the
Washington Water Color Clubs an
nual. The Society is {very consist
ently) miniature organization,
with a membership of only 18. 1t is
restricted to IA residents of the Dis
trict but nonresident associate
membership is unlimited. The Soci-
ETY. is host this year to work by 40
other miniaturists from 16 States
and the District.
Although most of us still think of
miniatures as traditional little por-
traits on ivory, very few of these
are among the IA works on view.
They comprise oils, gouaches and
water colors, drawings, prints in sew
eral media, ceramics, bronzes and
other sculptures, bound books and
illuminations. This annual, like
most of its predecessors, has many
facets of appeal for the public.
Enid Boxer, Nelly Mckenzie Tol-
man, Mary B. Sawrie and Mary Eliz-
abeth King show traditional por
traits, all of them distinctive. Dora
Pintner and Jack Grue have sent
beautifully painted still life and
Ruel P. Tolman a delightful little
country house" Among many oils
and water colors, somewhat larger
than those just mentioned, Ruth
Perkins Safford's interior, Roy
Clark's and Martha Bache's harbor
scenes, Frances Hungerford Combs
flower studies, Elizabeth Muhlhofer's
still life, Clara Saunders "Circus"
and John Lear's intriguing sllrreal-
istic compositions, offer variety in
subject and medium, all well done.
Admirable little etchings, block
prints and woodcuts represent the
work of John Taylor Arms, Edwin
Cassedy, James Havens, Benson
Moore, Ralph Totten and Reynold
Weidenaar. Beatrice Fields pencil
drawings are exquisite.
Marian U. M. Lanes illustrations
and book binding have technical
adroitness and subtle perfection not
equalled by other exhibits in these
fields. Nevertheless, illuminations
by Betsy Denis and Kenneth Ber-
geron, and Daniel Knowlton's tiny
books, have merit. Only the sculp-
ture group seemed less impressive
than that in last years annual. I
liked Rudolph Bauss' little bronze
figures, Katherine Hobbs Springer"
and Margaret Emery's Madonna and
Baby Angel"

USE OF WORD
JAPANESE"
TO BE ENDED

WASHINGTON, D. C. Aug. a.
In answer to a complaint lodged by
the IA C l. discrimination
Committee. the United States Civil
Service Commission this-week an
nounced that it will no longer use
the word japanese" as a classifi-
cation for the discharging or re-
| jecting of "disloyal" Civil Service
employees.
THE Commission will endeavor
to find a more appropriate CLASH
fication. in its report to Congress
in the future" William C. Hull,
executive assistant to the Commit
sion, declared
Explaining that the Commission
had used The term japanese" in
connection with its reports on dis
loyal persons for the want of a
more specific term Hull stated:
THE five persons referred to in
the Commissions report to Con-
gress we're found disloyal not be-
cause they were Communist, Nazi,
or Fascist but because the individual
demonstrated their allegiance 10
the Emperor of Japan rather than
to the Government of the United
States"
Basis for the Ado protest arose
from newspaper dispatches which
carried reports that the Commits
sion had classified sc persons who
did not qualify under loyalty" re-
quirements as Communists, Nazi,
Fascists, and Japanese" Five of the
&c had been classified as Japan
esc.'O
In reply to the ADO protest
which decried the use of ancestry
and race as the sole factor in the
determination of loyalty and cited
the record of Nisei soldiers and Is
sci war workers, Hull commented:
1T is not the desire Of the Com
mission to discredit those persons
of japanese ancestry who were To-
yal to the United States in the
late war with Japan; nor is it the
policy of the Commission to class
ify persons by race who we're dis
charged because of disloyalty"
Hull, in a letter to the Anti-Dis-
elimination Committee, said the
commission appreciates your
bringing to its attention the matter
of designating disloyal persons of
Japanese ancestry as japanese" in

given off at the explosion were
clearly visible since there were
shadows" where objects were
shielded against the heat On one
OF the bridges near the center of
the explosion, shadow" of a
man leading a horse which was
pulling a two-whceled cart was
clearly visible. Water pipes which
were exposed to the heat melted.
while metallic objects picked up
near the center of the explosion
appeared as if they were welded
together.
Although everything seemed at
standstill with the trolley cars,
trucks and railroad rolling stock
suffering considerable damage,
there were signs of life here and
there. Some of the people had
come back and propped up their
homes. Apparently some were back
to salvage what they could out of
the debris. Some who were victims
of flash burns were walking a.
round as If they had something
to do. We could recognize these
people very easily by the loss of
hair on their heads, or severe
burns on their faces and hands.
At the municipal building, the food
rationing division was busily at
work II shattered offices. One Of
the officials had told us that he
was in his office at the tine of
the explosion and had thought
that a bomb had made a direct hit
on the building because the build
ing was SO shaken up. He told Us
how he had to duck because a door
came flying toward his head.
Still thinking it was a direct bomb
hit, he ran outside and found the
whole district covered with dust
and smoke.
I have since read Hershey's
book Hiroshima" In this book he
has tried to recapture the events
os 1t affected the lives of four of
the Hiroshima residents. It is a !
very moving story. The exepri-
ences of the peoples as they told
them to me are very similar to
Hershey's story.
We were fortunate in being as
signed to billet with the Joint
Atomic Bomb Commission at the
Ujina Hospital in Hiroshima. The
city itself was still off limits" 20
Allied soldiers. Here I met DR..
Suzuki and DR.. Masuyoma of the
Tokyo Imperial University who
were conducting studies of the VIC
Tins, both living and dead.
I often think of man who was
working as a cook for this group.
When first met him at the kitch-
EN-, he was so clad that there was
now someone who could translate
what he wanted to say to the Of
ficers. His daughter of about or
9 years of age was usually around
the kitchen, and was the pet of
all the soldiers. He later told me
thot she was the only one left of
his six children. His wife was
also a victim of the new bomb.
Since that day in August l945,
the world has entered into a new
era, the atomic age. Two years
after the releasing of this new
nuclear energy in modern war;
fare, the world has not found any
adequate means Of international
control We often hear that the
next war will be fought with atomic
weapons. The people of Hiroshima
and Nagasaki are holding their
second anniversary to remind the
world what had happened to
them. We have seen what one
atomic bomb can do. That saw,
the last time I saw Hiroshima.

Truman Gives China
Naval Vessels and
Floating Drydocks
Authorizes Training
Of Crews for Ships;
Acts Under 1916 Law
By the Assoeioted Press

President Truman yesterday
gave an unspecified number of
naval vessels and floating dry
docks to China and authorized
the Navy to teach the Chinese
how to run them.
The President acted under a 1946
law permitting him to provide up
to 271 vessels and craft to China.
The act specifies that they must be
unneeded by the United States Navy.
The act requires congressional
sanctions to turn over any battle
ships, aircraft carriers, cruisers, de-
stroyers or submarines, and since
Mr.. Truman acted alone, presum-
ably none of those types is involved.
Using Some U. s. Craft.
The Navy said some American
craft already are being used by the
Chinese, having been part of lease
lend opera tions. In the case of these
ships only change or title will be
needed.
Further transfers, the Navy said,
will be determined by the rate at
which Chinese can be trained to
handle the ships. The presidential
order authorized the sending OF 100
officers and 200 enlisted men for
training purposes.
China at one time had a fairly
well trained small fleet, under Eng
lish guidance. However, she has
never been an important naval
power and once, in 1884, her entire
fleet was practically wiped out by
the French in seven minutes. The
japanese invasion of China was un-
challenged from the sea.
Mr.. Truman's order said China
had requested the transfer.
The law permits the President to
act whenever IN his discretion the
public interests render such a
course advisable, or will assist in
relieving United States forces, of
duty in China or putting the gov
eminent of the Republic of China
in better position to protect or i'm
prove the safety of navigation in its
waters"
While the ships are a gift, the ar
rangement calls for China to pay
cash for repairing, outfittin1 and
eduiupinr them.
