Book Review
MASTERPIECES OF SCULPTURE from
seymour, jr. (Covafd-Mccann: se.75j.
With the appearance of this
superb volume, Washingtonians
can practically move the National
Gallery's choicest and rarest
sculptures into their own homes
The book is beautiful in formal
and typography, and has . gal
|lery Of 142 reproductions In
gravure. nearly all Of them full
page plates, reaching a maximum
|of 8x10h inches. The reader Is
enabled to walk around" these
masterpieces Of sculpture, as there
are two to four views Of most OF
them, and seven Of Donatello'a
David Of the Casa Martelli. Sew
|eral views are important In study
ling sculpture, as they reveal Diff
|ferent qualities in q single work.
(For example, the willful full face
|of Verrocchio's bust Of Lorenzo
de- Medici. as the author points
out. Is Interestingly contrasted
with the humanist revelation Of
the proflle.)
Charles Seymour, who left the
National Gallery this autumn to
return to the faculty Of Yale Uni
versity. has written . scholarly
and eminently readable introduc-
tion to the book. Although he
says his commentary Is In no

reader will get . very compre-
Ihensive idea Of Italian Renais-

appropriate, and In the interest
Of the United States and other
countries, usually in conjunction
with the State Department or
some other agency engaged pri-
marily In international work.
THE housing agency receives
and assists missions which come
from other countries to study
housing here. Under the auspices
Of the State Department, special
expert housing missions have been
sent to Europe. to several South
American countries, to Haiti and
to the Philippines.
| administrator Foley has been
asked to visit and advise on hous-
ing policy in . number of other
countries. but thus far has been
too busy here to take on any OF
this work himself. HHFA has
advised other agencies on shelter
problems in such situations as
the Ecuador earthquake area and
the refugee situation In the Arab
countries. ......... T.
Right now the housing agency
Is included among the Federal
agencies proposed by the State
Department to help conduct the
so-called point-four program OF
aid to underdeveloped countries.
which is now the focus for assist
ance with respect to housing and
shelter.
Both phases of point-four-
technical assistance and invest
ment-are needed. In many
countries. particularly in the un-
derdeveloped areas. programs Of
housing and shelter are indis-
pensable to progress In economic
and social development and to
genuine improvement in living
standards.
"As with other phases Of point
four. technical assistance and
investment. If wisely provided.
will advance housing and home
environment to the advantage OF
the other countries, the United
States and the world generally.
In somewhat the same way
that worldwide programs for
food supply and for timber supply
have been developing, so also a
worldwide housing program car
work out to the advantage Of all
the countries, in more trade and
better feeling and improved living
standards"
New Techniques Vital
Mr.. Crane says he is convinced
that no country in the world can
meet the peoples demands for
adequate housing without the de-
velopment Of new techniques, "
which he defined not alone as new
technical developments, new
methods Of construction or new
materials, but also rs new ap-
proaches-political, financial and
social-as well.
He said he considered it sig

Men in American Desisn'

Of an exhibition of IS photograph
ic portraits by Katherine Young
OF. New York City. which opened
at the Corcoran Gallery Of Art
Tuesday, to remain through mid
December. The show had q pre-
view for members Of the Corcoran
Gallery Association Halloween aft
ernoon, at a tea given for Miss
Young, Franklin c. Watkins and
Oronzio Maldarelli, who composed
the jury Of the fourth annual
area exhibition. Both artists are
among Miss Young's subjects on
view.
She used to be q landscape
architect and painter, but trans
ferred her interest and energy
several years ago to Photographic
portraiture. Her photographs are
unretouched. with wrinkles and
pores intact, as she feels that
prettying up the plates is dis
honest and poor photography, q
viewpoint to be applauded.
|. However, II any Of these gentle
men. are dissatisfied with their
wrinkles or whatever. they can't
complain that these photographs
emphasize them In q devastating
way. For these pictures are so
dark that they carried me back
in memory to the trial blackouts
Of the war, when conscientious
folk sat around In rooms as dark
as a coal mine at midnight, with
only the occasional flare Of match
to cigarette to throw . high
light along . forehead or nose
ridge.
Miss Young's portraits are not
quite that dark: each one is
strongly individual, and obviously
a truthful likeness. But the faces
and occasionally sensitive, artis-
tic hands, emerge from the vel
vety glooms as II Illuminated BY
a single candle.
Not q few Of these sculptors.
painters and architects are repre-
sented by major works here in
Washington, or are otherwise con-
nected with the National Capital,
as for instance. Gilmore d,
Clarke, who recently relinquished
his long -held post as chairman Of
the District Of Columbia Commis-
sion of Fine Arts.
G.. w. Alumni Shows
Two more one-man shows by
well-known Washington artists
who are or have been connected
with George Washington Univer-
sity, are on view in its library
through next Sunday.
On the first floor is q group Of
portraits Of Lithuanian peasants
by Sydney 8. Gelfand. who has
been registered at George Wash
ington the past two years. These
portraits, shown In Washington
for the first time, are much earlier
work than Mr.. Gelfands one
man show at the Arts Club last
season. A native Of Lthuania, he
came to the United States as Z
boy, became an American citizen.
In the mid sos he returned to the
Baltic republic for q visit In Vies-
Mai. his native village, and paint
ed these portraits on linen made
by local farmers and treated by
the artist. The portraits are
simple ~delineations, hat with
hard outlines. It seems to me
that their major interest is eth
biographical rather than aesthetic.

ALBANY, N. Y. Feb. 26.-The
Siena Indians went on the war
path in the last 80 seconds to-
night to scalp GEORGETOWN, 44-39
before $500 fans at the Albany
Armory.
GEORGETOWN held a slim 1916
halftime edge but extended the
margin to 1921 after seven MN
utes of the second frame. With
six minutes of play remaining, the
Indians staged seven-point
offensive to tie the score. 34-34.

minutes from the end to put the

6. W. Routs Maryland
61-to-42 at Armory
For 7th Straight Win

George Washington University
brought the basket ball season at
the National Guard Armory to a
grand finale last night by trounc-
ing Maryland 61-42 before 1,500
fans.
Colonial Coach George CARRIER
cleaned his bench as his colonials
routed Maryland for their
seventh straight win. and brought
their seasons record to IS against
only seven losses.
Just returned from a difficult
Southern road trip, the Terps
appeared listless throughout the
game. Following a field goal by
Captain Johnny Edwards in the
early moments of play, the COL
lege Park quintet went more than
is minutes before scoring their
second floor shot, and made only
a total Of IA during the first half.
Guard Lennie Small and Co.
Captain Maynard Haithcock
paved the way for the Colonials
during the first period with their
great defensive maneuvers and
excellent ball-handling. While
teammates Johnny Moffatt and
Ray Adler were dropping in the
points, Garber's charges missed
quite a few shots while running
up an easy 30-14 halftime score.
Early in the second frame, when
his Colonials had run up an ad-
vantage of 1921, CARRIER gave the
regulars a rest and cleaned the
bench.
However. even the Colonial
scrubs were too much for the list
less Terps. Though Maryland hit
its best scoring stride of the eve
ming by dropping in 81 markers
during the last ten minutes of
play, the Colonial bench-warmers
gathered in IS to insure their vic
tory.

won the rubber match. The two
teams had split in two games on
the regular season scheduled.
The hero in Blair's victory was
John Linton, an overland hook
shot artist. who dumped in eight
of his 10 points at the time his
team needed them most. That
was the third period when set
shots by Guandola, Dick Beck
with and Fred Genau propelled
the Barons to an eight-point ad-
vantage. Linton then threw in
two successive two-pointers. added
a foul and tapped in a layup to
narrow the gap. That period
ended with Bethesda owning a
slim 1920 advantage.
The game started off in typical
Bethesda Blair fashion. The lead
changed hands three times and
was tied once in the first quarter.
A lay-up by Sam Towne, 6-foot
4-inch center: a hook shot by
Genau and free throw by Towne
brought the Barons from behind
and gave them a 1913 command
at the end of this session. They
maintained the lead until early
in the third period, lost it only
momentarily, and went ahead to
what looked like a safe margin.
That's when Linton stepped in.
Genau was Bethesda's big hand,
scoring II points. while Linton
and Parsons each Tailed 10 for
Blair.
The game ended the season for
both teams and left Blair with
a record of 18 wins against three
losses, while Blair won Is out of
81 contests.

For Final Star Tourney Berth

Everything except q champion
ship team from Prince Georges

scholastic basket ball tournament.
The Prince Georges title will be
decided in tomorrow nights play
off game between Hyattsville and
Bladensburg at the Laurel High
School gym at 8 o'clock.
Four first-round tournament
games will be played Wednesday
night at University of Maryland S
Ritchie Coliseum. Two semiflnals
are Friday night. and the consola-
ton and final on Monday night.
March 7.
The Hyattsville Bladensburg
winners comes into The Star tour
ney to complete a lineup of the
eight classiest high school teams
from Washington and vicinity.
The tourney this year is nothing
less than terrific and followers Of
schoolboy basket ball can't even
predict f1rst-round winners, much
less guess as to who will be play
ing IN the title game week from
tomorrow night.
Except for the identity of the
Prince Georges champion, the
tournament lineup was completed
yesterday when Central edged
Wilson for the District public high
title and Blair noSed out Bethesda
for the Montgomery County cham
pionship. That pairs Central
against the Prince Georges winner
in the wlndup game of Wednesday
nights four f1rst-round games,
while Wilson takes the unenviable
position against George Washing
ton High of Alexandria in We'd
nesday's second game.
Blair returns to The Star tour
ney after a years absence and
will go against Gonzaga in
Wednesdays third game. Bethes-
da's defeat knocked it out of The
Star tourney for the first time in
four years. Completing Wednes-
days bargain bill Of four games
is the 6 o'clock opener sending St.
Johns, which is tied with Gonzaga
for the Catholic League title,
against Washington-Lee, runner
up to G. w. for the Northern Vir-
ginia title.
