Shinn in Several Media J

Water colors, gouaches andsa few
works in ink and pastel by Charles
Shinn are hung in the Arts Clubs S
reception rooms. A resident OF
Greenbelt, he studied at the Cor
coran and George Washington Uni
versity. He was a Navy artist dur
ing the war. and Is now an artist
with the United States Public
Health Services
In a brief foreword to the catalog
of his show, Mr.. Shinn says TN
part): Experimentation. as IN
other common endeavors. is the only
road to the next frontier" But
with the exception of few abstrac-
tions. there is little sign OF expert
mental approaches in his show.
However, he varies his handling IN
several media. His water colors are
traditional. There is an appealing
one entitled Maryland Landscape" )"
with a fine sky effect, and the
equally attractive chesapeake
Cove" and several strong, colorful
glimpses of Florida.
He uses gouache for works includ-
ing figures, and handles 1t with a
personal convention, involving some
distortion. All are clean-cut and
carefully done, and their modern
character is no more radical than
that in certain established magazine
Illustrations. which are thoroughly
acceptable to the layman. Among
Mr.. Shinns gouaches is a gaunt lit
tie three-in-one self-portrait. This
triple exposure is a good idea, and
one not often executed.

Approximately 10 WashingtoniAnS
availed themselves of . perfect
bridge holiday last week end to test
skills with experts at the first an
nual Mid-Atlantic Regionals at Vir-
ginia Beach. Local players failed to
annex any titles, but many did In
crease their master-point ratings.
The only trophies brought home
by our contingent were the runner
up awards earned by James @,
Stone, Charles johnson and DR.. and
Mrs. A. J. Steinberg in the team-of-
four playof. Winning 1871 boards
out Of "A, this team clinched the
final round of the two-session event
but their combined session score OF
30h was half a board short of the
victorious life master foursome, Rob-

600 to 100000 barrels a day at a
time when Europe is scheduled to
get 80 per cent Of its petroleum
from that area. The experts figure
ERP will require about 100000
barrels in the next four years.
Since the Western Hemisphere
would be the only other source of
supply, 1t is interesting to note that
this country last year became net
importer of oil for the first time
when 100000 barrels day more
were brought in than were shipped
out. Today, that figure stands at
115,0O0 barrels. However, as Mr..
Forrestal has pointed out, our pc
troleum exports are mainly refined
products whereas we import more
crude than products. Therefore.
this bookkeeping disparity is not as
yet cause for alarm.
Aaree on One Point
In the face Of our fiuctuating
policies with regard to the Palestine
issue about the only point on which
administration leaders seem in con-
slant and consistent agreement Is
the desire to keep the Middle East
outside the Communist iron curtain.
The primary line Of defense Is po-
litical and sociological and the mill
tary experts acknowledge privately
that under present circumstances
we could not hold the area mill
tarily for more than four months.
In the overall Middle East oil po-
tential, American interests make up
more than 40 per cent Of the con-
cession holders. II we succeed in
avoiding the political or military
pitfalls mentioned above, the pros
pect is spelled out impressively by
DR.. E. L. De Golyer, one of the out
standing geologists and petroleum
engineers Of the world.
You cannot think about oil IN
this world without thinking about
the Middle East because there is
nothing like it," DR.. De Golyer says.
"As a result Of drilling no more
than $50 wildcat wells they have
found reserves which were equal
to our reserves. There is more oil
over there than there is any place
else"
AS of today, Middle East produc-
ton is only about one-sixth Of that
in the United States but in proven
reserves the Middle East appears
to have about 40 per cent Of the
world supply compared to about IS
per cent In this country. Aside
from the present, and hoped-for,
fiow Of Middle East oil to Europe, q
substantial percentage Of produc-
ton has for months been going to-
the United States Navy.

Coming events: This month the
Washington Chess Divan will hold
both its Speed (5-minute game)
and its Rapid Transit Champion
ship Journeys. The former will be
the first of it's kind, but the latter
will be the sixth in an annual Sc
ries. The first four. from 1943-46
were won by Donald H. Mugridge
twice after a playoff with Oscar
Shapiro; last year the Rapid
Transit title went to Hans Berliner
The rreliminaries will be held on
June 20. The finals will be on June
26.
On June 10 the Divan will con-
test a match with q team from the
Log Cabin Chess Club of West
Orange. N. j. This remarkable or
ganization is the creation Of e
Forty Laucks. at whose home II
meets, and numbers among Its
members chess stars Of four
States-Connecticut, New York, New
Jersey and Pennsylvania. It has
recently climaxed a most successful
match record by winning the cham
pionship Of the Metropolitan League
Of New York City. Anthony E.
Santasiere and perhaps DR.. Ariel
Mengarini, a former District cham
pion, will appear on the Log Cabin
lineup, but Director N. P. Wiggin-
ton of the Divan approaches the
match with confidence.
On June 8, Carl A. Hesse will
give a simultaneous exhibition at
the Divan, 2445 Fifteenth street
NV, imposing upon himself the
serious handicap Of a 10-second
time limit. Visitors are invited. and
may participate without charge.
July 5 the annual United States
Open Championship will begin at
the Lord Baltimore Hotel in Balti-
more. Md. It is hoped that there
will be a number of District entries
in this two-week affair.

Contemporary Drawings

The Whyte Gallery has just
open an exhibition of drawings by
seven young artists to remain
through June 80. Several are well
known here, others are being intro
,duced. Tecfniques and media are
varied, as are subjects. 1t seems
best to regard each artists contri-
button as an end In itself, as there
is no common denominator.
Aaron Sopher's four drawings i'm
press me as the best in the collec-
ton. These mordant comments In
pen and wash depict Dupont Circle
"before and after; the Zoo, and
Ninth street at night. Although they
are more or less straightforward
captures of the places, they have
overtones Of satire. simply because
Mr.. Sopher sees the world with
caricaturist's eyes, and his express
sive line instinctively emphasizes
the peculiarities of people and
scenes.

ians' acquaintance with Mr.. Marin's S

its own collection of representative

Outstanding Attorneys

The Federal Bar Association next
wear will inaugurate annual awards
to three of Americas outstanding
attorneys.
Plans for the awards, intended as
equivalents of the Pulitzer prizes,
were detailed last night at the as
soctation's annual dinner for the
members of the Judicial Conference
of the United States. Chief Justice
Vinson and the senior judges OF the
II United States Circuit Courts OF
Appeals were the honor guests.
The prizes, each to carry 8 stipend
of at least $500, will be awarded
by a selected jury on the basis OF
nominations from bar associations,
attorneys and individual citizens,
according to Charles Oliphant, Fed
eral Bar Association president.

Declaring that 2l-year- -olds are
the Nations worst criminal Offend
ers, followed in turn by the 20 and
19-year-olds, Judge Phillips asserted
that existing methods of treatment
of criminally inclined youths are not
solving the problem"
Indeed, I sometimes wonder
whether our penal institutions, be-
cause of their environment and the
lack of segregation between classes
and ages of criminals, do not foster,
rather than prevent, crime" he said.

in many respects, defective with re-

"Too long have some of our best
legal minds been cloistered by cir

deeds in the courtroom been cloaked
by inadequate recognition, Mr..
Oliphant declared.
1--WE expect, by the care and study
which we give these awards, to un-
lock the door of opportunity and
national interest for three lawyers
each year, perhaps more if the evil
dence warrants it." he added.

been done, most of the havoc
created by the half-hour OF high
wind, rain and hail May 2 is still
plain to be seen. Those who
saw the area were amazed
and Mortified to see how much
damage had actually been done.
Many had never before seen the
results of so destructive a wind.
Northwest of North Lewisburg,
trees are down by the hundred.
Some are huge trees completely
up-rooted; others were snapped
off like match-sticks just above
the ground and still others had
huge limbs torn off. The destruc-
ton is difficult to describe but
the area looked like it had been
one of the battlefields of major
war.
Houses. Barns Hit
In the vicinity of Mingo, and
between there and North Lewis
burg, hundreds more trees were
blown over, and it was here that
damage to barns and homes is
more apparent. A great many
barns in the area were completely
flattened while many others were
damaged to lesser extent. Several
homes were also hit by the storm,
although no home was completely
demolished.
The surprising thing about the
storm, as expressed by many who
saw the devastated area, was
that none was seriously hurt
Most serious injury suffered by
anyone was to Ernest Wilkins,
North Lewisburg High School
student, who had his leg broken
in two places when a dairy barn
collapsed on him while he and
his father were milking.
