Mr.. Rudhardt was introduced,

recognition Of the 950th anniversary

Of citizens Of Scandinavian descent.
The Blue and Gray Cradle Asso-
citation, it is reported. has applied
for q series Of commemorative labels
to advertise national unity. Fruit
growers in the Northwest coinci-
dentally are pressing for at least one
adhesive to honor the centenary OF
the Luelling Henderson Expedition.
Friends and admirers OF the late
Mayor Fiorello H. La Guardia OF
New York have petitioned for his
admission to the Nations philatelic
gallery. The same homage is sought
for Juliette Gordon Low, founder OF
the Girl Scouts Of America; William
Allen White, editor Of the Emporia
Gazette, and David Wilmot, author
of the famous Wilmot Provtso.
A stamp in memory Of Father
Flanagan Of Boys Town Is almost
certain to be issued. Other propo-
sails likely to succeed call for labels
in remembrance of the war dead OF
all conflicts in which the United
States has participated and to
dramatize the campaigns against
traffic accidents and forest fires.
Definitely scheduled stamps are:

duce far more than the immediate
area could absorb and would have
to sell in distant markets in COM
petition with a local producer there.
Their distant markets, because OF
added freight, would diminish.
3. One answer to that Is estab-
lishment of new production centers.
The automobile industry started
decentralization by building scat
tered assembly plants to cut deliv-
cry costs. But construction OF new
production facilities to make low
priced goods is impossible at today's
high building costs compared with
prewar.
4. A general series Of mergers be-
tween competitors might result in
scattering production centers II
separate units can't be built by a
single company. But there is a risk
of forming cartels that are illegal
under antitrust laws.
S. Monopoly price areas and di-
vergent prices on a geographical
basis could result when one producer
is located at a distance from his
competitors who could not sell in
his market because of the addition
of freight costs. He could raise his
price to that of his nearest competi-
tor. On the other hand, producers
barred from distant markets by
freight rates would have to sell IN
their own backyard. II production
exceeded demand in that area, price
wars would eliminate the weakest
producer.
II this total adjustment takes
place over a long enough time, 1t
could be done without chaos. Many
would welcome the change. Decen-
tralization of industry has been
progressing steadily for 80 years.
The immediate aim of the Federal
Trade Commission is to break up
combinations fixing prices illegally
to the detriment Of the consumer.

The paintings are traditional and
illustrative, as Nine. Lafugie was
more concerned with recording the
people, their costumes and settings,
than with esthetics. Thomas M.
Beggs, director of the National Col
lection of Fine Arts, said that the
exhibition is peculiarly appropriate
for the Natural History Building Tin
the foyer of which it is installed
because of its chronological and an
thropological aspects.
The artist is a member OF the
"Club des Explorateurs." Born in
Paris, she studied at the Ecole Ma
tionale des BeauX Arts. She first
visited Asia in 1924 and travelled in
Ceylon and India, painting portraits
of maharajas and maharanis in
their magnificent palaces. She spent
some time at the University OF
Mahatma Gandhi, near Allahabad,
also at Rabindranath Tagores
School of Arts.
SttterS Sign PORTRAITS.
Determined to paint in Tibet, she
crossed rapids, glaciers, mountain
passes 1880 feet high and camped
In the snow, sometimes spending
weeks without seeing another hu-
man being and without hope Of well
come by the Tibetans. But her art
opened all doors. She painted mon
a,steries, religious ceremonies, por-
traits of lamas and even the most
exalted of their holy men, one of the
"living Buddhas." These are the
paintings now at the National Mu-
scum. Many of her sitters signed
the portraits in their native char
acters, as visitors will see.
During winters, when the high
passes of the Himalayas are blocked
by snow October to ApriD, Nine.
Lafugie roamed through Burma,
Siam, Malaga, Celebes, Java and
Bali, usually travelling on horseback
and living in her tent. She visited
the interior of Borneo especially to
paint the head-hunting Dyaks. On
UIdHelS Ill TltllCIl lliOO-Sililld, SilAAld
and Japan, she lived in Buddhist
monasteries On subsequent trip to
Asia, she went to Syria, Iraq, Trans
Jordania and Palestine, crossed
Persia on horseback. During the
war she was imprisoned by japanese
secret police in Saigon, returned to
France only last year.
Strange Objects in Detail.
OF the large number of paintings
she brought back from all these
travels, the present extensive col
lection is only a small part. but per-

a collection of empty bottles. But
she has seen all these ordinary
objects with a vision different from
the layman's.
Inspiration Always at Hand.
Asked about her approach to such
subjects, she said specifying the
first mentioned still life) Il saw this
organization of design every time I
entered my kitchen, with an in
creasing desire to paint it. The
radiator and trap under the sink
carry up, as continuous line
through the design on the dishes
which intrigued me. Instead OF
seeing them for what they are. I
saw them as pattern and design
in a painting"
II am never at loss for subject
matter" she continued. Il do not
look for something to paint, nor do
II feel that I have to go away to
find the right spot. I am surrounded
with subject matter in my everyday
life, waiting to be painted"
Mrs. Gath considers her work
realistic and conservative. Yet
critics differ, pointing out that she
sees "selectively." Apparently when
she decides upon a subject, she
eliminates intuitively, retaining only
the elements which will make a
well defined pattern. In her Flint
street scene, for example, not a
living being appears for the length
of two blocks. The realistic setting
| has become light and dark design.
Exhibition Covers IA Years.
OF the four exhibitions at the
Corcoran, Mrs. Gath's covers the
longest period, IA years-nearly the
whole OF her career. 1t demon
strates that she has continued IN
the direction she started at the out
set. She began drawing in her
childhood, but being equally inter-
ested in music, particularly tne
piano, she did not study art seri-
ously until the early 1930s, under
Jaroslav Brozik, at the Flint lnstl.
tute of Arts School. She continued
to study in other cities, as her hus-
bands profession took her away
from Michigan. Coming to Wash
ington. she studied at the Corcoran
School of Art under Richard Lahey,
Eueen Weisz, Heinz Warneke and
Peggy Bacon, and has also studied
water color with Eliot OHara.
Mrs. Gath has been exhibiting Tor
IS years, and has shown her WORK
in ~ different galleries and pro-
fessional groups, many times IN
some of them. This year she has
been represented in such important
shows as the Virginia Biennial,
Richmond, and the National Acad-
emy's l22d annual. New York City.
This is her fourth solo exhibition.
Her first was at the Flint Institute
of Arts in 1887; her others were at
the Alexandra Public Library and
the Washington Arts Club three
years ago. She has received l3
awards.
She also Is showing some beau
tiful flower, fruit and vegetable still
life paintings, which reveal her fair
for using colors, which impress the
observer as right. There are other
street scenes, landscapes and har-
Dor scenes. all of which afford the
pleasures OF recognition to a high
degree.
