the exhibition opened last Mon
day evening, with a preview at the
Pan American Union, of oil paint
ings and small sculptures by
Samuel Mallo Lopez, sponsored by
the interim representative of
Argentina on the Council of the
Organization of American States
and Sonora de Luduena.
DR.. Mallo Lopez is specialist
in the treatment of mental dis
eases and is on the staff of two
hospitals in Buenos Aires. For
recreation he turns to painting
and sculpture, and has invented a
method of making figurines out of
bread dough.
A Special Technique.
After modelling a figure, he al
lows it to dry. 1t is treated with
lysol to discourage insects, is

ture sculptures all but six were
made by this method. He calls
them "caprichos."

cardboard by DR.. Lopez attracted
as much if not more attention
than the bread sculptures. I'm
lpressionistic in handling, they de-
pict scenes in Argentina, Brazil
and Uruguay and one Washington
feature, a study of Great Falls.
DR.. Lopez has an eye for beauty
whether in a subject per Sc or in
an industrial theme silhouetted
against opalescent skies and dis
tant skyscrapers. He presents
street scenes, harbors, beaches
and landscapes. There are Just
two figure paintings in the collec-
tion, but they indicate that If he
cared to. DR.. Lopez could paint
homo sapiens as well as he paints

Although his status as an artist

Not Easily Replaced

The State Department is losing another good
man in Dean Rusk, who has resigned to become
president of the Rockefeller Foundation Al
though he has had relatively brief career in
the department. which he entered in 1946 after
wartime Army service, he has rendered distin-
guished service there especially in the highly
controversial field of our Asatic policy
There has been no real domestic controversy
however, as regards Mr.. Rusk's own contribution
to that policy. The decisions that have been
made since 1850, when he became Assistant Sec
retary of State for Far Eastern Affairs have been
generally indorsed even by the departments
bitterest critics. He has been chiefly concerned
with Asiatc events and problems postdating the
aggression in Korea, and the fact that he has
been singled out for heavy attack by the Soviet
propagandists is pretty good evidence that the
Kremlin heartily dislikes what he has done in
connection with Formosa, Red China, Japan and
other lands in that part of the world. Consider
ing the source, that in itself may be regarded as
tribute of sorts to the high caliber of his work
When he takes over his new duties Mr. Rusk
will bring with him not only his rich interna-
tional experience but also the asset of a note
worthy prewar academic career. These are
things that should add to the effectiveness of
his work in the Rockefeller Foundation. The
State Department has reason to regret his resig-
nation. Not many Americans of comparable
ability are available to take his place.

GIorified Day Nurseries

President Colgate Darden of the University
OF Virginia has come forward with an interest
ing, though controversial, proposal
Why, asks the former Virginia Governor
should a youngster who is both unwilling and
incompetent be compelled by law to go to high
school? Why require the taxpayer to foot the
bill for an educational policy which produces no
worthwhile result on the one hand, and which
acts as drag on good students on the other?
These are questions which cannot be lightly
brushed aside For they 60 to the heart of what
is very probably weakness in our system of
public education.
In Virginia, all children between the ages
of and 16 are required to attend school.
In most cases, this means that at least two years
of high school must be completed Under Mr..
Dardens suggestion, the compulsory aspect
would be modified Upon finishing grammar
school, if the youngster did not want to 60 to
high school, there would be a conference among
the pupil, his parents and his teachers. Should
this lead to the conclusion that the student
would not profit from additional schooling, the
teachers wSuld exempt him from tsadance
A student who wanted to remain in school would
Evening star., 1951-12-08

be permitted to do so, even if barely passing his
work.
Mr.. Darden believes this would tend to stop
the burdening of teachers with what he describes
as "a grand and glorious day nursery" 1t would
enable students who do not profit from school
attendance to start work unless barred by law
because of age. 1t would make possible i'm
provement in the quality of high school educa-
tion for students who want to learn and who
are capable of learning. And it would reduce
classroom space requirements, thereby easing the
mounting financial burden of school construc-
ton.
These are considerations of some force. At
least, they entitle the Darden thesis to serious
consideration.

This and That
By Charles E. TroceweN

The wise bird 1over-and not all of
them are wise-will realize that sparrows
must eat, too.
In the cold winter. especially. the
English sparrow is an engaging waif.
He and his mate, and his numerous
progeny, need a great deal of carbohy-
drate foods to keep alive.
That they do. to keep alive, compete
with our native birds, is undoubted.
That. in spring and summer, they
compete for nesting sites, is also true.
But that they should be trapped and
killed as "vermin." as some bird lovers"
assert, is absurd.
Our native birds are being killed of
by complex Of circumstances as unre-
mitting and ruthless as the complex of
circumstances that is killing us off,
with our heart diseases and 80 on.
1t is too simple, to say that the Eng
lish sparroWs are killing off the dear
little native birds"
The dear little native birds are not so
naive as to stay around when sparrow
grabs its nesting place.
It is no fool. native or not. It simply
flies to another site. a>
Let no one. then, be fool about or
against English sparrows.,
They are pleasant small birds. utterly
lacking the harsh chirp" and dirty
