Austrian Exhibition Closes

The cultural ties between nations are
the strongest. Music, for example, tran
scends political considerations. Shake
speare relates the English-speaking peo-
Piles wherever they may dwell and without
regard to differences of economic policy.
Science is international, despite occasional
efforts to prevent its being So The exhibi-
tion of Hapsburg pictures at the National
Gallery from November 20 until January
~ proved once more the universal appeal
OF great art. Guards counted 875,153
visitors
What impression the average individual
carried away is a matter of philosophic
speculation. Some persons obviously
found the collection beyond them. They
needed time to study the paintings, time
to become accustomed to their excep-
tional richness. The Vienna show was
rife with an exuberance to which Amer
leans in general are not accustomed-the
assertive glory OF an imperial dynasty at
It's best, its most compelling power. Hence
the comment repeatedly heard about the
freshness Of color, the vigor of execution
represented in the canvases. Most Spec
tators understood the Hapsburgs better
after seeing their choice of art. They
must have been a dynamic family at the
apex of their history.
But something more than wealth and
aggressiveness was reflected in the beau
tiful Correggios and Titians, Rembrandts
and Vermeers brought here from Austria.
The paintings were not created by the
Hapsburgs; they merely were appreciated
by them-and now they are appreciated
by their successors, the democracy of
modern Austria. American troops lib
Grated the collection at the close of World
War II and turned it over to the Austrian
people. They lent 1t to U.S. Now it goes to
New York for display, then to San Fran
cisco and Chicago and back to Vienna.
The show in Washington was Just the
beginning OF tour of the United States.
Perhaps other countries similarly for
season will share with us their artistic
possessions. Britain might let some of
her great master works of the nineteenth
century cross the Atlantic Washington

Objects to Police Soliciting
For Their Boys Clubs
To fhs rd,tor AZ III at.r,

To the Editor Of The STAR
Once again campaign dizzy public is
being pressurized into donating funds for
the Metropolitan Police Boys Clubs on the
direct orders Of D. c. Chief of Police, Rob-
Aert Barrett.
No one questions the end use of the funds
collected. but there is serious legal and
moral question on the propriety Of police
men conducting a door-to-door campaign
for funds during their working hours, espe-
oially at time when the department is
having difficulty in coping with the growing
crime situation in the District.
In addition it might be well to ask who
gave Chief Barrett the right to assign eight
policemen and lieutenant to full time duty
at the Police Boys Clubs at taxpayers ex-
penSe and when the men are so badly needed
on the street.
When testifying in 1941 before a congress
sional committee investigating the Police
Department, former Police Chief Harvey
Callahan, then a captain, had this to say on
policemen collecting funds: Whats wrong
with the Metropolitan Police Department?
Inability to devote full time to regular duties.
AS to fund raising. no law enforcement of
hcer can sell tickets or solicit funds without
neglecting his other duties"
AS for the moral rights involved in police
men collecting funds, testified Capt. Gala
han: No officer can collect money from a
person one day and enforce the law fairly
against him the next. The business of rais-
ing money by uniformed officers leads to
many unsavory practices. Certain officers
see no harm in doing little collecting for
their own personal benefit if circumstances
are favorable" Added Capt Callahan: mo
officer can sell any sort of ticket or member
ship card without resorting to rather
thinly yelled form OF public extortion."

Quotes Thomas Jefferson
On Danger Of Public Debt
To the Editor Of The star:

Great Democratic leaders, like Thomas
Jefferson and Grover Cleveland, did not
hout economic law or rock the financial
boat while sailing perilous waters.
+ the Fair Deal crowd would attempt
to conform to the simple principles Of JET
ferson, the country might emerge from the
fiscal chaos In which at present it is in
volved
Jefferson said: "I place economy among
the first and most important virtues and
public debt as the greatest of all dangers
To preserve our independence, we must not
let our rulers load us with perpetual debt
We must make our choice between economy
and liberty or profusion and servitude If
we can prevent the Government from vast
ing the labors Of the people under the pre-
tense OF caring for them. they will be happy"

Stresses Council of Nicea
In Real Understanding Of Christianity
To the Editor Of The star:
The discussions concerning Christian un-
derstanding" appearing in your letter coll
umns OF late have been Of much interest.
It is encouraging to see the exchange of
views between people of diverse religions,
for it seems to me to be the first step toward
more understanding and tolerance among
people Of different beliefs. Thus, only as we
become less intolerant do we become more
Christlike.
However most people are SO poorly in
formed on matters Of the Bible and the
teachings of Christ that usually find that
merely presenting sides in discussion soon
develops into an endless round of personal
opinions, getting nowhere.
Christ said. Seek and We shall find"
Therefore, In order to find the real truth
do my own searching and make my own
deductions rather than to rely upon the

The recipe below is for real
Surprise" dish. Fish au Gratin
may be made from left-overs. 1t is
very economical. 1t has piquant
flavor that you will find unusual
and delightful. And, If this isn't
enough, the fish dish delights those
who ordinarily don't care for fish.
The principal reason these state
ments hold true is probably because
q fairly ordinary fish dish has been
magically touched with tasty cheese
and piquant Worcestershire Sauce.
II you doubt me, try the recipe.
And when your first taste proves
me right, remember that this same
sauce may be used in the home
every day, for meat dishes, soups
and vegetables, as well as for fish.
It belongs on your table with the
salt and pepper shakers - as one

2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons flour

DUNBAR OPERETTA
A HUGE SUCCESS

through the palace gates for her.
The children eager to crafty the
princess desires, each offer their
own kitty and brought them in re-
vue before her.
The princess invited the villagers
to a party in the Royal Gardens in
honor of the kitty which was given
to her.
At the Royal party, all danced,
sang, and made merry while the
king and queen were far away.
Special intermission features
were: Tumbling acts, made up of 6
boys; interpretive dance by Jac-
quelynne Laster, and the Indian
Princess Dapce by Patricia Grant.
In looking at the entire affair
effectively as a spectator, it had
spectator appeal in the forms OF
music, art and words.
The children and staff of the
school are to be commended for a
job, well done.
Arizona sun., 1950-05-19

On Thursday evening, May 4, the
students and staff of Dunbar Elem
tary school presented an operetta
to the public, entitled "The Prin-
cess Chooses a Kitty"
The production was enthusias-
tically received by an audience OF
700 patrons and children. The ap-
probation and enjoyment expert
enced by the audience was mani
tested in their intense interest, con-
gratulatory remarks and smiling
faces as the operetta was in prog
reSs.
Patrons and guests generally
were impressed by the precision in
which the affair was carried on,
the children's mastery of the speak
ing and singing parts, the costumes,
the scenery, and last but not least,
the lighting effect.
The selection of the theme of the
operetta was quite fitting for the
age group who attend this school.
The story was centered around a
Princess who had run away. from
the Royal Gardens with a desire
to secure a kitten for her own.
Never having seen baby kitten
she was somewhat perplexed when
the children tell her that they can
not stand up yet and that they can
not see. However, her disappoint-
ment was lessened when the Town
Crier promised to slip a kitty
