Corcoran Opens Show
Of 100 Years Of Art
| Revealing Taste Of Era

Washington art lovers today will
have a chance to see what was
thought "great" and what "slovenly'
art in America during l00-year
period. A 59-picture exhibition,
DE Gustibus,' opened privately at
the Corcoran Gallery of Art last
night and will be on public view
today through February 20.
The exhibition seeks to revive
some of the major issues in Ameri-
can painting and American taste
in the century after 1880. The
pictures that line the walls of our
museums seem to many to have
little or no connection with such
controversies as are commonly as
sociated with contemporary paint
ing Gallery Director Hermann w.
Williams. jr, said. I'VE wanted to
point out that every era in Ameri-
can art has had its differences of
opinion
The SO paintings. about half of
which are on special loan for the
exhibit, include many old favorites.
Among them is Thomas Hovenden's S
Breaking the Home Ties" which
was so popular during the Colum-
bian Exposition that the carpet in
front of it had to be replaced
several times.
Other well-knoWn pictures in the
show include James A. M. Whistler S
The White Girl: WinsloW Homer S
Prisoners from the Front" and
The Fox Hunt; Albert Pinkham
Ryder's The Temple of the Mind;
Thomas Eakins' The Pathetic
Song; Mary Cassatt's Woman with
a Dog: John Singer Sargent S
Mrs. Henry White and John
Steuart Curry's The Tornado
The exhibition starts with land
scapes by Thomas Doughty and
Thomas Cole, takes in several eras
of genre and heroic painting, then
the impressionists and more mod
ern genre painters. ending with
painting representative of num-
ber of modern schools.
Features of the show are excerpts
of contemporary criticism placed
beside each painting. The exhibit
ton is further tied together by an
illustrated catalogue reviewing the
trends in American art and art
taste during the century.
DE Gustibus" was organized by
Miss Eleanor B. SWenson, associate
curator of the gallery.

McCarran Denounces
Congress Refusal Of
D. T.. S|um Bill Funds
By Harold B. Rogers

Senator McCarran, Democrat, OF
Nevada, last night denounced Con-
gress for failure to appropriate funds
authorized to clear out appalling
slum conditions here.
AS author Of the 1916 act for a
10-year $50 100000 District slum
clearance program, the Senator said
refusal of Congress to provide funds
had rendered the law void
He supported the recent plea OF the
District Redevolopment Land Agen-
cy for its first appropriation. The
annual report Of the agency. sub
mitted to Congress last week by its
chairman Mark Lansburgh, de-
plored its lack Of funds and indi-
Gated budget request for SO 10000
would. be filed for the next fiscal
year.
The agency, Senator McCarran
declared, should have the entire
$20,000,000 authorized by the act
and the money should be appropri-
ated just as rapidly as the land
agency can use it
Need Called Even Greater.
Enactment of the legislation by
Congress-" the Senator said, was
recognition of the appalling slum
conditions in the National Capt.
tal These conditions have not i'm
proved since the law was passed,
and the need for slum clearance is
even greater in Washington today
than it was in 1916"
The 1916 act, it's author declared,
included the first Federal recogni-
ton OF the principle of Government
aid for slum clearance. This prin-
ciple has since been adopted in a
number of States; but the Congress
certainly is not setting good ex
ample when it ignores it's own pio-
neering enactment in this field and
in effect renders that enactment
void by refusing to appropriate
funds to make the act operative"
Senator McCarran said he
thought it "may be a mistake" to
ask such small amount of funds,
as recommended by the agency, be-
cause that request will become as
sociated in the public mind with
any particular slum clearance prof.
ect, with respect to which there
may be a controversy. rather than
being considered as the first step
in a broad slum clearance program
for the entire District, which 1t
most certainly is"
Funds Sidetracked.
The agency's report referred to
Marshall Heights as its first project.
Controversy had arisen over the pro-
posal to start with that area, and
the 8Oth Congress sidetracked an
appropriation requested for it.
Senator McCarran explained that
he did not intend his. comment to
be critical of the land agency or its
chairman. He said he realized that
"the land agency undoubtedly has
asked for as much money as 1t
thinks it can justify and for which
it believes it can secure budget ap-
proval."
1t now remains for Congress
through its appropriation commit
tees, the Senator said. "to determine
whether it may be wiser to grant a
larger sum than the $3,400, 900 which
the agency is reported to have re-
quested as it's first appropriation
under the $2O,OO0,O0O appropriation.
The $2O,000,000 was authorized by
the 1946 act to be revolving fund
to be used as the slum clearance
program progressed.

liens, and nearly 5000 900 were lent
for home use during the last year
Taking its cue from the program
outlined by the University of Chi
cago, the library has organized
group reading classes led by trained
staff members, in which great
works of literature are read and
discussed. The library also will
train leaders for groups who want
to start their own classes.
On the shelves of the central
building and the branches, District
high school and college students
can find expensive and hard-to-get
text "books and the library's de-
partment on vocational guidance
also serves the community's youth
Building Is Crowded.
But visitor to the central build
ing could hardly fail to be i'm
pressed with the fact that the rap
id growth OF the library system
here has surpassed the facilities Of
the physical plant.
Every nook and Granny Of the
once-spacious interior of the build
ing is crammed with book shelves
and Office space, and even one side
of the stairway has been closed off
to make room for a desk on the
landing.
Since he was appointed District
7 in 10AT uorrv NJ or
son has argued that in order to
provide adequate service to the
community the library needs more
branches, more central Office space
and above all larger appropriation.
According to the American
Library Association. the income OF
the Washington Public Library Is
not enough for even minimum serv-
ice." he says. The ALA says that
you need an income of $l.50 per
capita for limited but inadequate
service. We are operating now on
a budget of $l40 per capita"
Funds Not Allocated.
Early last year there was some
hope that money would be supplied
to renovate part of the New Main
Library, located at 499 Pennsylvania
avenue NV, which eventually will
bear most of the burden now loadei
on the Central Building. However
the funds were not apocated. and
the financial condition of the Dis
trict is such that there is little hope
that they will be alloeated soon.
About the only thing We can dc
to improve the service right now is
make the best possible use of our
present facilities by streamlining
our classification system and getting
the books out on shelves where they
can be found easily" Mr.. Peterson
said. Other plans include the use
of "bookmobile" to serve areas now
without library service, Mr.. Peter
son said he hopes to get the book
mobile into operation sometime this
year, but other vitality needed i'm
provements are out.
In fact the Washington Public
Library seems in some ways to be
getting back to the same position
it was in in 1899. Now, as then, its
funds and its facilities are made
quate in terms of the need of the
community. The District Govern
ment, hard pressed financially, is
in no position to help.
One library official summed up
the problem: "It looks as if what
we need today is another Andrew
Carnegie"

Colored Oleo To Be In Bluffton's
Fod Stores Within Next Few Days

OIeomargarine colored by the
manufacturer will make it's initial
appearance in Bluffton stores within
the next few days at price at
least 10 cents higher than the I'M
colored product.
Increase in price is due to a 10
cent government tax on the colored
commodity, store operators advised.
Those who object to the higher
price, however, may continue buy
ing the uncolored product it was
pointed out.
Several large companies will pack
age their output in quarter-pound
units when sale of the colored mar
garine starts, and one manufactures
will wrap. his product in aluminium
foil lined with parchment.
Sale of colored margarine in Ohio
was made possible in the Novembel
general election when Ohio voters
by wide majority approved legis.
lation removing ban on factory
coloring of the product.
Coloring before purchase will be
welcomed by housewives who in the
future can escape the chore of mix.

they get it in their kitchens.
