Some members of the committee,

rived from apartment dwellings are
insufficient to pay for services re-
quired by apartment dwellers. and
that, from a financial standpoint,
apartments should not be encour-
aged.

Broader Field Covered.
The admiral has taken positive
steps to develop gold braid, 1948
style. Here are some of them:

ago in the department of English,
history and government. They aver

Second classmen Cuniors) study
a new course in economics.
First classmen (seniors) finish up
with a course on elements OF ma
tional power" This weaves together
what they have learned of political
geography and world currents. 1t
emphasizes informal speaking and
explanatory writing.
Training in public speaking is
worked into the third class STUDY
of foreign policy. Not dilettante
after-dinner speaking. but the abil-
ity every officer must have to ex-
press himself clearly to his men,
the admiral says.
Six foreign languages. including
Russian, are offered for study. There
used to be two.
Library research is must. First
classmen must dig up their material
for a series of papers.
Practical instruction in leader
ship continues through the last
three terms.
Leadership Course Is Pet.
This leadership course is Admiral
Holloway's pet. 1t teaches by ex-
ample, with mock situations. Dr.
John G. Jenkins of the University
of Maryland who served in the Navy
during World War II, wrote text
especially for the course.
One symptom of the new An
napolis order is the ban against ply
sical hazing. Admiral Holloway says
that rough stuff is forbidden. Plebes
don't even have to perch on the
edge of their chairs in the mess
hall for minor indiscretions.
The present senior class had a
lot to do with that. Most Of the
ranking Middies are ex-servicemen

Gen. Lucius D. Clay, American COM

eral suitable places had been made

The transfer of the works to the

manding their immediate return to

that: ut is apparent that disinter-
ested and intelligent people believe
that this action cannot be justified
on technical. political or moral
grounds"
Every School Of Art.
Nearly every school of European
art is represented in the collection,
some of it identified as having been
painted as early as the thirteenth
century.
Mr.. Walker said the collection as
a whole is amazingly strong" In
early Flemish painting. The five
Van Eycks, he said, comprise the
outstanding group of works by that
artist. They include the Madonna
and Child in Church.
There also are two outstanding
pictures by the Flemish artist, Petrus
Christus, Saint Barbara Presents
a Carthusian Monk to the Madonna
and Lady Talbot" and seven OF
Rogier Van Der Weyden's works.
There are five pictures by the Ger
man artist, Albrecht Durer, including
the portrait, "Hieronymus Holzs-
churer," his Portrait of a Young
Woman" and the Madonna with the
Siskin." The three works Of Hans
Holbein, the younger, include the
popular "Geore Gisze."
Two BY Vermeer.
The Dutch painter, Vermeer, Is
represented by THE Pearl Necklace"
and "The Taste of Wine"
Botticelli's Saint Sebastian" and
"Giuliano De Medici," Titian's self
portrait, Fra Angelico's "The Last
Giorgione's Portrait OF
a Young Man" and Rubens' "Andro-
media are among the famous paint
ings.
Mr.. Walker said he considered the
collection of works in the gallery by
Rembrandt and Raphael superior to
that in the German group, but that
the Rubens and possibly the Titians
in the German collection were better
than those in the museum.
