Corcoran Is Offering
4 One.Man Shows;
Seaall's Works Have
Quiet, Sad Quality
By Florence S. Berrymon

The Corcoran Gallery Of Art has
opened several exhibitions which
will remain through the summer.
-Four one-man shows were inaugu-
rated yesterday with q preview and
tea for members Of the Corcoran
Art Gallery Association. and will
open to the public beginning this
afternoon. Margaret Gates, Ethel
Robertson Gath, Samuel Bookatz
and william H. Calfee are the
first four whose work will be shown
in q series of contemporary Amer
lean artists exhibitions planned by
the gallery.
These shows are developments Of
the second annual exhibition Of
work by artists of Washington and
vicinity Cheld last autumn) at the
Corcoran Gallery, which requested
the jury to recommend several ar
fists whose entries in the annual
appeared to indicate that they were
deserving Of one-man shows. From
the artists named, the gallery staff
selected four after examining a
larger collection Of the work Of each
than was available to the jury. Each
Of the artists chosen for this four
some has had one or more solo
exhibitions elsewhere in Washing
ton.
These artists reveal distinctly dif-
ferent points of view, giving the
exhibition considerable variety, al
though the gallery did not organize
the four shows for purposes of COM
parison. At any rate, the gallery
feels it has made good beginning
in it's program to increase the scope
of its attention to individual con-
temporary American artists. These
four shows, and the two group ex-
hibitions, will be reviewed here in
detail during the next few weeks.

SCRAMBLE STARTS
FOR LEADERSHIP,
REPUBLICAN PARTY
Policies Will Be Shaped
for Minority in Congress
Looking Toward 1852

WASHINGTON. Nov 8.-tP- "A
scramble for Republican party lead
eship with Harold E. Stassen
among those taking part-apparent-
ly is in the making as an after
math of last Tuesdays election.
Despite an assertion by Gov.
Thomas E. Dewey that he has no
plans to step down as titular COP
head, his second straight defeat
for the presidency may leave him
little to say about future Republic
can policies.
These policies largely will be shap-
ed by the Republican minority in
Congress.
There such familiar figures as
Senator Arthur H. Vandenberg, of
Michigan, Senator Robert A. Taft
of Ohio, Senator Kenneth Wherry
of Nebraska, House Speaker Joseph
w. Martin, Jr.. of Massachusetts, and
Floo- Leader Charles A. Halleck, of
Indiana, will be in the saddle.
But none of these is standout
now for the Republican presidential
nomination in distant 1852.
Instead, some of the Republican
politicians who have caught their
wind after the surprise drubbing
given them by the Democrats are
beginning to look outside the formal
congressional leadership.
Those catching their eye include
men like Stassen, Senators Irving M.
Ives of New York, William Know
land of California, Raymond Bald
win of Connecticut, Leverett Salton-
stall and Henry Cabot Lodge, Jr., of
Massachusetts, and Homer Fergu-
son of Michigan. Rep. Clarence
Brown of Ohio is mentioned among
House members.

John Bowan of the CAA is ground
co-ordinator for the search.
The planes left the field at Q
o'clock this morning and were
searching the shore line of Admir-
atty Island. Because of limited
visibility none of the planes were
able to search above 1900 feet. The
planes reported back to the field at
noon because of weather conditions.
On yesterdays flights all mountain
tops were obscured by heavy fog
Comdr. Snyder said today that
there is a possibility that the plane
might have gone into the water,
but it is more possible that it hit
mountain peak. The non-sched-
uled airlines plane carried IA pas
sengers. Snyder said that the planes
will stay here until the search is
completed. The search is confined
to the DC-3 and the planes will
search between Cape Spencer and

INCOME TAX
cut BILL IS
COMING UP
Truman Will
Urge Revision Of Meas
ure Passed by COP

WASHINGTON, Nov. 8.-tR--
Rep. Eberharter tD-Pa) said today
he looks for President Truman to
urge a revision of the l948 income
tax cut.
The idea, said Eberharter, would
be to pass more OF the savinS IS
along to low income groups by
boosting the levies for those in the
upper brackets
Eberharter, a member of the tax
framing House ways and means
committee, also predicted that Mr.
Truman will revive his excess prof.
its tax proposal.
However, some of the Presidents
advisers are known to take a dim
view of such move because of its
possible effect on business.
There has teen considerable spec
ulation that before Mr.. Truman
reaches any definite decision on
business taxes he may renew his
plea to industry to lower prices
and profits.
RICH MANS BILL"
The President had little to say
about an excess profits tax during
his campaign. But he took several
husky swipes at the income tax cut
bill which the 8Oth Congress wrote
into law over his veto
He called it rich mans" bill.
Eberharter did not say what sort
of revisions he thinks Mr. Truman
has IN mind. But in his own tax re-
duction proposal early this year,
the President suggested that each
person be allowed $40 cost of liv-
ing" tax cut-a plan that would
make the percentage saving big for
low-income people but tiny for those
in the high brackets.
EXCESS PROFITS TAX
The President estimated the cost
of his plan at $4,000 100000. He
proposed that amount be made up
by an excess profits tax
In any event. the White House
has sent word around to the various
Government departments that they
will have to contend with "a hard
boiled budget policy"
Budget Director James E. Web
told reporters about it after talk
with Mr.. Truman last Saturday He
said he and the President went over
fund requests for his departments
and agencies, and in most cases
decided to hold the amounts below
those Congress voted for this year.
Webb did not say which agencies
were involved, but he did make
clear that the military services were
not among them. Largely because
of stepped-up defense planning,
there have been predictions that
next years budget may run some
So. 900, 100000 above the $4,000.
COO coo outlay projected for the pres'
ent government year ending next
June 30.

WASHINGTON-On November

The case is U. S. vs. American
Bosch and involves deal whereby
the Dulles law firm drew up an
agreement hiding the American
Bosch Factory in Springfield, Mass.
under Swedish ownership shortly
before the war. This concealed
its true Nazi ownership IN order
to avoid seizure by the U. S. Gov

The case is loaded with dyna-
mite, and three U. S. Judges SO
far have SHE'D away as if it was
going to explode in their hands.
Judge Edward Tamm refused to
hear the case because, as former
FBI assistant director, he had
probed American Bosch. Timorous
Judge Matt MCGUIRE refused to hear
the case for reasons best known to
himself. His remark, however
was significant
