One of the two greatest por-
traitists of England's golden age
of painting. Gainsborough. was a
prisoner of his success and popu-
larity. fretting for freedom to
paint landscapes and do as he
pleased. This monograph COM
prises a comprehensive biography
of the man and critique Of his
work, illustrated with 48 halftone
plates. eight in colors. One OF
their merits Is that they repro
duce paintings not SO frequently
seen as the popular Blue Boy"
and Mrs. Siddons." The volume
is the first Of q series which will
deal with masters Of painting.

For NUMBER OF losses, subtract

The above crosS-table displays
the complete results in the l94S
tournament for the chess
championship of the District Of
Columbia, which was decided last
Monday evening when 20-year -old
Hans Berliner won his adjourned
endgame from Henri P. ReysS and
secured first prize and the title.
After dropping his opening game
to Oscar Shapiro. Berliner won in
every succeeding round except the
7th, when he divided the point
vita L. Russell Chauvenet. Most
of his wins were achieved in ef-
fective style. and his victory was
as convincing as it was well de-
served.
The next three leaders likewise
won their last-round games. SO
that their relative positions re-
mained unchanged.
Martin c. Stark clinched second
prize by defeating Lit. Comdr.
Walter c. Michaels. who adopted
Cole System but went astray. los
ing first a pawn and then the
exchange. and resigned in SO
moves
Shapiro met George S. Thomas
Kings Gambit with the newly re-
furnished Cunningham defense
which effected a complete rout Of
the White pieces in lS moves.
This left Shapiro in tie for third
prize with Chauvenet. who had
long and eventful game with Ed
mund Nash. In a Kings Indian
Defense set up by Nash. a pawn
sacrifice by Chauvenet miscarried.
and Nash emerged with the ex-
change as we'll as the extra pawn
and a winnable game. But he
quite spoiled his position by his
26th and 9th moves. and
Chauvenet by a series Of ingenious
maneuvers won in so moves. Had
Nash made the most of his OPP
portunity, he would have finished
in fourth place ahead OF
Chauvenet, and Shapiro would
have obtained third prize I'M
divided.
Sixth and seventh places were
determined by a lively skirmish be-
tween Reyss and Sam Schwartz.
won by Reyss after "a moves Of
extremely hard punching.
Stark, who won as many games
as Berliner. is as deadly as ever
in midgame combination and
endgame accuracy. but is disposed
toward weakness in opening play,
Shapiro paced Berliner for most
of the way. until upset by
Chauvenet in the 10th round, and
still packs q terrific punch. but his
play was far less consistent than
Berliner's.
Nash is an excellent technician.
but fell behind when slugging 1t
out with the tournament leaders.
Reyss worked hard at his games.
and was dangerous In attack. but
proved insuffiicently proficient in
openings and positional finesse.
Schwartz Is q newcomer who
has given evidence of real talent,
but was far too inclined to play
passively for q draw. George
Thomas had health worries. threw
away several points. and quite
failed to do himself justice.
Comdr. Michaels attempted at
tacks which his positions did
not justify.

China Reported Backing
Israel for u. N. Place

LAKE SUCCESS, Feb. 26 (P).-
An informed source said today
that China probably would vote
for Israel's admission to the Unit
ed Nations.
I,i The source, who would not be
identified, said any announcement
would have to come from the gov
ernment at Canton.
He said China's policy so far
has been to try to bring the war
ring Arabs and Jews together on
a peaceful basis. He called at
tention to the 40,00O,O00 Moslems
in China's population and said the
government had attempted to
avoid being unfrienoly to either
Arabs or Jews. He said China
thus has abStained on most of the
critical votes. even on the question
of approving Israels membership
application.
The armistice between Israel
and Egypt and the inclination of
other Arab countries to go along
with that development opened the
way for China to act, he said.
Israel's application is pending
in the Security Council and likely
will be acted on early next
month.
