The Institute of Contemporary
Art is showing through next
Sunday, an exhibition of sculp-
ture by three modern artists.
John B. Flanagan. American;
Arnold Geissbuhler, Swiss. and
Alberto Giacometti, Italian. The
Importance of this show cannot
be judged by its size GA works.
The sculptors. two living. belong
to the same generation, now
middle-aged. They represent three
different facets of contemporary
approach to sculpture.
John Flannagan's attitude to-
ward sculpture was expressed in
his final statement, published in
Magazine of Art two months after
his death in 1912. aged As: ITO
that instrument of the subcon-
scious, the hand of the sculptor
there exists an image within every
rock. The creative act of realiza-
ton merely frees it,"
He also spoke of the "attrac-
tion in the very shape of a rock
as sheer abstract form" Visitors
to the show will see in two of
his works, his almost reverent
feeling for the rock itself, how he
has revealed" the subject sug-
gested by the shape of the stone.
His "Grasshopper" (bronze) ex-
emplif1es his efforts toward
ordered simplification."

eminent with the weapons with
which to meet the offensive by the
Moscow-supported Huks.
We can also, 1t Is said. strengthen
those military installations which
We still hold in the Philippines as
a clear warning to the Chinese
Communists that We are ready TO
maintain our position in the Far
East. This. Of course, is q re-
versal of position for some Of the
Filipinos, for the government it
self was most insistent in the first
place that we close up our bases
and get out. Only Clark Field
and nearby Fort Stotsenburg are
maintained In anything like full
strength.
We can further attempt to per-
suade the Philippine President
and his advisers. by the smoothest
diplomacy possible. Of the danger
that confronts them and to carry
out certain administrative and
military reforms.
In connection with any aid that
we give the Philippines after the
expiration Of present programs on
June 80. 1851. we can attach some
pretty close strings Of supervision
and can condition assistance on
the strengthening of the fiscal
machinery.
II it were not for the worldwide
Communist threat we could very
well stand aside and let the Philip
pines learn the hard way-by
bitter experience. Unfortunately
that bitter experience" might be
Communist domination.
American hopes are that q new
ruling class will arise from among
the young Philippine politicians
and that those who are exploiting
their official positions for personal
profit will be removed. One of the
best prospects for new. more
vigorous leadership is Vice Presi-
dent Lopez, who is highly re-
garded as a leader with both in
tegrity and intelligence.
The American Government Is
struggling to find ways Of leading
our former wards into the paths
Of healthy national life for we do
not want to fight our way through
another Philippine liberation
next time from Communist domi-
nation.

Madiha Umar, wife Of the Sec
ond Secretary of the Iraq EN-
bassy. who has had three solo ex-
hibitions in the past year, one at
the Georgetown public library
having been reviewed in detail in
these columns. is now showing
more than 80 paintings and draw
ings in several media in the Arts
Clubs gallery through June 8.
Mrs. Umar's collection is unique,
and is unlikely to have any imi-
tators in this country at least. She
paints abstract designs based on
the evolution of the Arabic alpha
bet. Arabic calligraphy, beautiful
and varied in itself. is nearly 1000
years old.
Mrs. Umar studied in Constanti-
nople, London and Paris. and in
Washington at the Corcoran
School of Art for several years.
Hence her ability to fuse Oriental
and Occidental elements and ap-
proaehes is based on sound train
ing and wide experience in her
travels.
Most of her designs are brilli-
antly colorful. with marked
rhythm and swirling movement.

Coins
By ed Hammer

tibrorion, American Nvmismofie Association
Even though the old-time v or
Liberty nickels seldom show up
in circulation today, only q few
are worth premiums.
RareSt nickel is the 1885, of
which only 1,476, 400 were minted.
Dealers pay 1925 to Sc for a speci-
men in good condition and it
brings more when it is fine or
better. Most others in the 1880s
are worth Is to 80 cents in good or
better condition.
The 1912 with the letter S at
the bottom of the reverse will
bring so to 80 cents in good con-
dition. This type Of nickel was
minted from 1883 to 1912. The s
on some 1912 nickels indicates
they were struck at the San Fran
cisco Mint, a D means the coins
were made at the Denver Mint and
no initial shows they were struck
at the Philadelphia Mint.
The first nickelS of 1883 did
not have the word cents" under
the v and the coin sometimes was
gilded and passed for a S. gold
piece, which it resembled. That
same year the mint added the
word cents to later nickels. The
earlier ones, with the word cents
emitted, were not called in, as is
popularity believed.
Many persons boarded the first
type. thinking that they might be-
come valuable. So many were laid
away that they are common today
IN mint or unused condition and
even these bring only a few cents
over face. Although more with
the word cents were struck than
without 1t. the coin with the word
is slightly more valuable. This is
because the earlier ones were
boarded extensively and are not
as scarce. The v nickel of 1883
with the word cents under the v
is worth 80 to 10 cents In good to
fine condition.
