Robin Hood Statue
Planned i'm England

NOTTINGHAM, ENGLAND. -
Robin Hood may return to Sher-
wood forest if a Nottingham in
~dustralist, Philip E. F. Clay, has
his way.
In Robin Hoods own town,
where the outlaw and his merry
men in Lincoln green once shat
tered the nerves Of the high sher-
iff, Clay has offered the city coun-
Gil 5000 pounds (about $50. 000),
and more, if necessary, to erect a
statue of the man who stole from
the rich and gave to the poor"
City council has accepted the
gift, and now the town is split over
the location of the statue. The
raging question is: should Robin
stand in Nottingham itself or out
in one of the few remaining glades
Of Sherwood forest? A solution is
expected soon
Clay's gesture was timed to CO.
incide with Nottingham's quincen-
tenary week.

Soviet, U. 5. Draftees
Have Same Problems
But Ivan's Are Worse
By Fred Sporks
Foreign Correspondent Of The Star and
the Chicoao Dolly News


MUNICH, Germany. July IA
Most American soldiers recall
their first days in the Army as a
stumbling nightmare.
They remember the sudden loss
of privacy-like being stripped
naked by a high wind in Times
Square. They WINGED at needing
injections, blushed at sergeants'
rough cracks, cursed bad-f1tting
shoes.
The Russian soldier has the
same nightmare-except his first
military days are more like the
third degree.
When his class is called he re-
ports to a local board-"bring
food for five days!"
There he gets 1.-The glance

If he chokes past this barrage,'
the dizzy draftee is sent to coun-

grim bunk-and invades his own

Foundation Plans
Haven for Artists

With old-age and retirement

artists are among those least likely

long to the inflnitesimal minority

obtain adequate incomes by the
practice of their art. Sympathetic
and imaginative people are haunt
ed by the insecure futures of many
artists.
An elderly artist who died of
starvation in the Los Angeles
County Hospital has crystallized
the ambition and determination of
a former Washington painter to
establish a home of dignity and
comfort for aging painters and
sculptors. Mrs. G. Elinor Hall, ma
tive Washingtonian and a resi-
dent here for some years, has been
back for three weeks in connec-
ton with her project.
Mrs. Hall has incorporated the

she is president. Its purpose is to
establish a gallery of fine arts to
house private collections and a
colony in the desert cat Joshua
