Spellman and Mrs. Roosevelt.
He declared he could not believe
that the stand taken by the late
Presidents widow was "the result
of bigotry."
Mayor ODwyer, expressing deep
regret over the controversy, urged
yesterday that mutual friends of
the cardinal and Mrs. Roosevelt
attempt to reconcile their differ
ences.
Asked whether he himself would
try to bring about such an under
standing, the Mayor said nothing

The Mayor refused comment on
pending Federal legislation for aid
to schools-the issue which
touched off the controversy. He
said that 'is matter for Con-

Representatives Of Cardinal
Spellman and Mrs. Roosevelt said

A quick agreement by House and

Truman Turns Down
Mrs, RooseveIt's Offer
To Quit u. n. Post

President Truman said today
that Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt had
offered to resign as American rep
resentative to the United Nations,
but that he was declining to
accept.
The President said that each
year as a matter of courtesy Mrs.
Roosevelt has submitted a resig-
nation but that she would be back
at the next session of the United
Nations as usual.
The question came up at the
Presidents news conference when
Mr.. Truman was asked about a re-
port that Mrs. Roosevelt had Of
fered to resign following her ex-
change with Francis Cardinal
Spellman over the controversial
Federal aid to education bill.
No Chronological Connection.
Asked of there was any chron-
illogical connection between Mrs.
Roosevelt's offer this year to re-
sign and the education contro-
versy, Mr.. Truman said there was
not.
Mr.. Truman said that Mrs.
Roosevelt and other representa-
tives of this country tender their
designations periodically to give
the President a chance to make
changes if he so desires.
White House Meeting Urged.
Meanwhile, Mr.. Truman was
asked to arrange a White House
meeting of Cardinal Spellman and
former Gov. Herbert Lehman Of
New York to ease the controversy
over the formers letter attacking
Mrs. Roosevelt.
The request came from the In
dependent Businessmen's Com
mittee of New York which said
1.-THE best interest of all" would
be served by such action.
Mr.. Lehman came to Mrs.
Roosevelt's defense after she was
criticized by Cardinal Spellman
for a newspaper column regard
ing the educational bill. A pend
ing House bill by Representative
Barden, Democrat, of North Caro-
lima, has been attacked by Cath
olics as being unfair to them.

If when Eleanor Swenson was
11years old, she had confded to
any one her ambition to be an art
museum curator, they would have
told her, "1t cannot be done"
when Eleanor studied museum
work at Smith, she was told her
altbition was hopeless.
SWhen Eleanor worked at the
sales desk of the Metropolitan
Museum of Modern Art ana when
she obtained a position as an as
sistant to the curator of the paint
ings and sculpture division of the
Brooklyn Museum, she was told
You'll never. make It,"
Eleanor Swenson has been, for
the past two years, assistant cura-
tor of the Corcoran Art Gallery.
EShe is one of handful OF
women in the United States, per-
r1Mps in the world. holding such a
rHsition. And she is still in her
ads. And not just barely, either.
Intelligence and ability and
faith did the trick.
with a small assist from fate.
AS recorded. when Eleanor
worked at the Brooklyn Museum,
she was an assistant to the cura-
tor. Not an assistant curator.
That tinv word ito" marks diff
ference almost as vast as that be-
tween a lackey and a lord.
But while still at Brooklyn she
overcame it and became assistant
curator of the paintings, etc,
division.
Then the war and the curator
went of and for over two years
Eleanor ran the works. Bril-
liantly enough for the Corcoran
to bring her down in the SPRING
Of 1947 to help do the same here.
If YOU were one of the thousands
of Washingtonians who saw De

Wh:yGrow
Old?
By Josephine Lowman

ny Josephine LOWw0U
It Is amazing when we think
that practically every kitchen or
home has at least one cook book,
but many Of them do not have one
single book about nutrition.
This is one Of the tragedies Of
the day-that there is 80 little
meeting ground between the re.
search laboratories and the aver.
age dining room table! Few men
or women have yet tapped the
scientific discoveries which are
being made in the world of nutri.
tion.
There are many valuable books
on this subject and many Gov
ernment leaflets and booklets.
Today I am thinking of Doctor
Henry C. Sherman's book. Food
and Health" 1t is published by
Macmillan Co. Copyright 1884
and 194O. It is written so that
any woman can understand it and
it brings one up to date on the
latest and soundest ideas concern
ing good nutrition.
AS we have learned more and
more about nutrition we have
heard more and more about milk
and its value. Milk contains all
of the vitamins, Is a splendid
source of protein. and gives you
many of the valuable minerals.
It is an especially rich source of
ribofavin and calcium, and these
are low in the average American
diet.
DR.. Sherman says, "Undoubted-
ly milk plays a more important
part than any other article Of
food in giving the ordinary Amer
ican dietary a well-balanced min
eral content. This Is outstanding
ly the case with respect to the
dietary supply of calcium. AS @
rule the calcium content of the
diet depends mainly upon the
amount of milk consumed. With
out milk it Is unlikely that the,
American or European diet will
contain enough calcium for the
best nutrition of the adult, still
less for the growing child"
Some people do not like milk
but a taste for it can often be de-
veloped and 1t can be used in
cooking, such as in custards, pud-
dings, breads and rolls, scalloped
dishes. sauces. and as cream on
cereals and desserts.
The United States Department
of Agriculture gives the following
kinds and amounts of foods which
approximate the food value in a
quart of whole milk; II ounces Of
evaporated milk-one quart OF
fluid skim milk and one and one
half ounces of butter-four and
one-half ounces of dried whole
milk-three and a half ounces Of
dried skim milk and one and a
half ounces Of butter-five ounces
of American Cheddar cheese made
from whole milk.

Capital Careers

nous paintings and Eleanor's at
tention was strongly drawn to
them. At any rate. ever since she
has known that art is her life and
the only impossibility about the
whole thing was that she should
never attain her ambition.
Now all this serious talk about
such driving love and ambition
perhaps makes Eleanor sound a
bit of a one track mind fanatic.
Nothing could be more untrue.
She's an awfully nice, awfully at
tractive girl. an easy conversa-
tionalist who laughs as readily as
she talks. She does a lot of both
and one is as pleasant to hear as
the other.
Eleanor's forte is American art,
the foundation of the Corcoran.
They were made for each other
(although the organization pre-
ceded her by about $50 years..
Her first task at the gallery was
accessioning. That means Il can
tell you because she told me) list
ing all the paintings the gallery
owns. marking them in a particu-
lar way and so on. That may
sound like something that would
have been done long before Flea
nor's time, but it hadn't.
One of her most fascinating
duties is shopping for new paint
ings. Fascinating because q pur-
chase is a battle of wits between
buyer and dealer and one in which
the buyer must come out winner
when there is as little money to be
spent as the Corcoran has.
You see, dealers are in no hurry
to sell. They buy when the price
| is low and hold on to the can
vases as many years as is neces-
sary for the price to rise profit
wise. On the other hand, the
buyer naturally wants to purchase
when the price Is low, and it takes
an awfully clever shopper to pry
loose a coveted painting from a
reluctant dealer. Besides which
the purchaser must be able to
discern a genuine work of art and
know what the public taste is
going to be to avoid stuffing a
gallery with unpopular works
For, as De Gustibus was conceived
to show. what is anathema today
is art tomorrow.
You would expect a girl who Is
so art appreciative to carry that
feeling into her home life. Flea
nor's apartment is her own GAL
1ery. containing mostly sketches
and water colors (all that are
within her means at the time) of
both contemporary and 10Th CEN
tury artists.
She also is fond of fine music,
Tschaikowsky and Sibelius ex-
cepted, and up on popular things,
too. except for bebop. which she
has not yet had time to investi-
gate. She likes to cook and to
read and is a dilly of a square
