Another District case may settle

has come q most uncontentious
young woman who feels that mod
ern poetry is its own best defense.
and who speaks only for herself,
and that most guardedly.
She Is Elizabeth Bishop, winner
Of the 1946 Houghton- Mifflin Po-
etry Fellowship Award, and author
of North and South" the only
collection of her poetry which has
been made since she first started
writing while a senior at Vassar.
A pretty. round-faced young wom-
an in her late sos. Miss Bishop
has brown, gray-hecked hair. cas-
ually brushed back; calm. gray
eyes and a schoolgirl complexion.
Her manner is mild and noncom-
initial.
Never having been interviewed
before, she said, she did not know
what was expected OF her. Never
having been a critic, she was un-
used to making generalizations
about modern poetry. And never
having taught, she went on. she
was quite unused to defending 1t.
For her own part. she likes it
and writes 1t. The criticism.
heard with swelling insistence in
these parts lately, that modern
poets have lost touch with their
audiences, leaves her undismayed.
Something That Is Not There.
Was there some particular atti-
tude of mind that the public
should bring to>the perusal OF con-
temporary lyrics, she was asked.
Perhaps they are looking for
something that is not there" she
said, suggesting that a generation
brought up on late Victorian po-
etry, with its definite rhythms and
clearly defined message. brought
too fierce a concentration to the
post Eliot productions.
Maybe this will help" she
said. IAN artist friend of mine
once told me that an artist some
times just takes a walk with a
line. That's what a poet does oc-
casionally. He just takes a walk
with an idea. But the idea comes
to him in sounds and in images" "
Though not an imagist, Miss
Bishop says she has always striven
for accuracy in imagery. A domi-
mating theme has been that mag-
nation makes life tolerable. She
owes her greatest poetic debt to
Marianne Moore. Her poems fall
into two classes: Fantasies and
straight description. Much Of her
descriptive work was inspired by
the Florida scene. An inveterate
traveller since leaving her native
Massachusetts,. she has lived In
New York and Paris. and has
spent the last dozen years In
Key West. 80 =
Right now. like any other new
conner to the Capital, she is apart
|ment-hunting. She is unmarried.
In her free time. she is polishing
up a new collection Of poetry
which will be published In the
spring. It will include a sonnet
sequence about the Prodigal Son
and several poems about colored
people in whom she is deeply in
terested.

Central High School on Clifton

building, we'll constructed and
harmonius in appearance. Its
cornerstone was laid March 4,
1915, by Frederick L. Fishback OF
the Central High School Alumni
Association. with school and
alumni officials participating. The
cost of the building was set at
81 200. 900 and the school was first
opened on October 2, 1916.
The building stands in his

one of the earliest roads in this
vicinity. The writer recalls see

days.
To the north, at an early date,
was the Stone estate. known as
Mount Pleasant, which later be-
came Columbia Heights. 1t was

Mr.. Stone owned this estate
prior to the invasion Of Washing

about 1910. when he retired from
the engraving business. he built
the old mansion.
In 1871 the writer's parents
bought a home at the southwest
corner of Florida avenue and W
street, when the Stone estate was
large wood, and here as a boy
he roamed the nearby woods and
open spaces. Here he gathered
persimmons and hickory nuts, and
leaves for horse and cattle bed

ing with Hitler at Montoire, an
occasion which to other observers
marked the high point OF Nazi-
Vichy collaboration, as a "diplo-

wrested many vital concessions
for France. Mime. de Chambrun,

Laval were often in contact, since
her son Is married to his daugh-
