When the calendar leaves are
turned to June, recreation and play

Many seek health and vigor near
seaside, lakes or in the pine-laden
air of mountains; many join at
local Fairgrounds for the fun of
swimming, tennis, golf, games, sand
box and appartus play.

Washington Portraitists

Most people who have their por-
traits painted want close llkenesses
of themselves at their best Tin some
instances, a little better than their
best. This has been the traditional
attitude for centuries. But in the
last rs years or so, artists OF the
avante-g -garde have been painting in
quite different way portraits which
are often very remote likenesses from
the visual standpoint. These latter
are what we usually think of when
contemporary portraits" are men,
toned.
But Chequire House Gallery in
Alexandria (202 King street,, in Of
fering Contemporary Portraits" (by
Washington artists through July
l6, uses the adjective in it's original
sense: These are portraits painted
in our own time. But they are
strictly traditional. They will sup
ply people of the year 1000, and lat
er, pretty accurate notions of these
sitters' appearances. And they are
appearances which should be very
satisfactory to the subjects and
their families.

few months or the next few years
On one thing all our high-rankine
officials agree: That sooner or latel
war between the U. S. S. r. ane
the west is inevitable.
The question which the next ad.
ministration must decide is whether
we are going to accept the Soviet
challenges in Europe or Asia, or both
The alternative is to write of
Europe, letting it go its own way
while we concentrate on building
our defenses in the Western Hemi.
sphere with the assistance of the
young Latin republics.
OF course, military strategists will
say that in this age of the atom
oomb, supersonic jet planes and all
the other technical devices which
the ordinary citizen does not ever
suspect, it would be foolish to imag-
inc that in another war distance will
be any handicap in committing
aggression.
The problem which will confront
the next administration, if it faces
the issue realistically, will be as
follows:
D The American Government
believes that the present European
shell can be, mended and preserved
against Stains hordes from the
east. It feels that it must not per-
NIT the initiative to rest with the
U. S. S. r. It must proceed with a
large and rapid rearmament
program and must, at the same
time. provide the fighting forces of
Western Europe with the economic
and military means to defend their
freedom. Military assistance, esti-
mated to cost about $4,000, 1000 900
in the first year. must'be more en-
phasized than economic support.
20 The American Government is
convinced that the peoples of this
country cannot be, induced to make
an effort greater than during the
last war until the Russians take the
initiative. In such a case we will
not have time to prepare, as was the
case after Pearl Harbor. Many
politicians believe that Russia does
not intend to expand, for the time
being, farther than the Atlantic. If
they are correct, we must concen-
trate on establishing strong de-
fenSe line extending from the Arctic
Circle to the southernmost tip of
South America.
/ Within this concentrated defense
area we must organize genuine har-
mony with those republics, which in
coming decades will be strengthened
by the arrival of immigrants from
Europe, men and women who are
strong and energetic enough to settle
and develop those vast uninhabited
areas in South America which lack
only population.
| Whatever the answer to this COM
pIicated problem may be, there is
no question that the next admins
tration will have to choose between
taking the initiative to lance the
Communist abscess which is fester-
ing in Europe. or will have to with
draw from present entanglements,
taking a chance on the future in
the hope that Moscow will find it
too dangerous to continue its drive
across the Atlantic and Pacific into
American territory itself.

hit-and- foreign policies pur-
sued since 1912 cannot continue
without impairing the whole life OF

Reiss Show Coming

ReISS Show Coming
Winold Reiss, internationally
known as the greatest contemporary
painter of the American Indian, will
hold his first Washington exhibition
in the new Playhouse Gallery, 727
Fifteenth street NV, starting
Wednesday.
In the future, all exhibits in this
pleasant little gallery will be chosen
by committee of five. -Four al
ready have been named. They are:

Gallery, Grose Evans of the Ma
tional Gallery of Art, Franz Bader

tiss Taylor, prominent painter.
Those who wish to visit the gal
lery may bypass the theater box
Office by obtaining slip admitting
them to the lounge without charge.
When Winold Reiss arrived in
New York from Germany in 1913,
the first thing he wanted to know
was where he could go to paint
Indians. The New Workers laughed
but Mr.. Reiss knew so much about
Indians from studies at the Royal
Academy of Art in Munich that he
had no difficulty finding subjects.
However, it was not until 1919 that
he went to the Far West. He be-
came interested in the Blackfeet
tribes living ON reservations. in
Glacier National Park. He was
finally accepted into the tribe and
given the name KSekstakepoka
Beaver Child because of his tire
less energy.
The Indian head on the Buffalo
nickel is said to have been taken
from one of Mr.. Reiss' paintings.
In more recent years Mr.. Reiss
has devoted a great deal of his time
to murals and the decorative arts.
He was commissioned to do the
2,000-square- foot mosaic mural in
the Union Terminal. Cincinnati,
Ohio, and the mosaic facade for
the Frank Phillips Woolarock
Museum in Bartlesville, Okla. He
also has done the murals for
IL Longchamps restaurants in New
York as well as for the Palmer
House in Chicago, the Hotel Presi-
dent in Kansas City and the York
town Hotel at York, Pa.

Peaay O'Neale Chose June

OF course, there is no intention te
infer that June has not had its full
share of marriages, for it has hae
many notable weddings. Peggy
O'Neale, famous for her wit anc
beauty and for having broken ur
President Jackson's cabinet, was g
June bride when she married John
H. Eaton for her second husband.
1t does not always pay to be good
looking, for sometimes beautiful
face and figure bring on envy and
trouble, and surely Peggy had her
share of worry before she laid down
her tired and weary body never to
rise again. But Mrs. Eaton's most
notable trouble never began until
her husband was made Secretary OF
War in President Jackson's cabinet,
and when the wives of the ether
cabinet officers did not take kindly
to her, even though the President
did.
Mrs. Calhoun, wife Of the Vice
President, John c. Calhoun. led the
opposition forces. Van Buren,. the
genius of situation, took advantage
of the opportunity to advance his
ambition for the presidency, an am
bition also maintained by the Vice
President. Mrs. Calhoun won out
over Mrs. Eaton; Calhoun in the
end lost the presidential nomination
and the. presidency, and five, cabi-
net officers resigned. some because
they were invited to do so. Van
Buren, was sent as Minister to Eng
land, Mai. Eaton to Madrid; a new
cabinet was formed and Jackson, no
doubt, felt happier-at least the
satellites of society Gained down.
The Eaton Children
Mrs. Eaton had three children by
her first husband: William, who
died in infancy; Virginia and Mar
garet. Virginia, known as Ginger
Timberlake, married the Duke de
Sampayo, secretary to the French
Embassy in Washington, and went
to live in France, where one OF her
daughters in turn married son OF
the elder Rothchild. Margaret Tim
berlake. the second daughter. mar
ried one of the Virginia Randolphs
Virginia and her husband died in
early life. and their children were
looked after by Mrs. Eaton. who, it
is said, devoted many years OF her
life to their care.
William O'Neale, Mrs. Eaton's fa-
ther, died October 26, 1887, while
she was still abroad, and OF his
death the National Intelligencer
states:
"On Tuesday night last, after a
tedious illness. Mr.. William O'Neale,
aged So years, and long an in
habitant of this city-formerly for
many years the keeper of we'll
known hotel and at the time of his
decease an inspector of the District
Penitentiary.

of velvet and lace.
Another May wedding was that
of Nellie Grant to Algernon Satoris,
which took place at the White House
in 1874. In this case one Of the con-
tracing parties was also foreigner.
In every respect it was the most
celebrated of American weddings
and one OF the most colorful and
costly up to that time.
"The marriage took place in the
East Room by gas light" 1t was said
at the time. This room is particu-
larly suitable for SO august an oc-
casion."

The Republican platform prom

imitation by urging: Progressive re-
duction of the cost of government
through elimination Of waste" and
stimulation of production as the
surest way to lower prices.
How Gov. Dewey will meet this
issue remains to be seen. In any
event, his supporters can argue that
he has had no part in the handling
of national affairs during this period
of rising prices. He will be able to
meet this issue more effectively than
