Miles Fountain
Major Work of Art
By Florence S. Berrymon

worlds greatest living sculptors,
the name of Carl Miles would
undoubtedly be included among
the first IL. He is considered
the foremost contemporary
sculptor Of Sweden, his native
land; but he is also claimed by
the United States with some
logic, since he has made his
home here more or less con-
tinuously since 1929.
His Fountain of Faith" will
be dedicated this afternoon at
2:30, at National Memorial
Park, a cemetery at Falls
Church, Va, marking the COM
pletion of a major work by this
sculptor in the Washington area.
(The park also owns Miles
Astronomer" sometimes called
Primitive Man." which was an
outstanding feature of the New
York Worlds Fair in 1889
and '40.)
The program this afternoon
will include introduction of Mr..
Miles by H. E. the Ambassador
Of Sweden, Mr.. Erik Bohemian;
music by the National Symphony
Orchestra, solos by Nine. Helga
Gorlin, soprano of the Royal
Opera Company of Stockholm;
invocation by the chaplain of
the Senate, DR.. Frederick Brown
Harris; remarks by the sculptor,
by Leslie Cheek, director of the
Virginia Museum of Fine Arts,
and Robert MarloWe, founder of
the park, and a benediction by
Rev. DR.. Francis B. Sayre, dean
OF Washington. Cathedral.
In addition to seats for in
vited guests. there will be pro-
vision for the general public at
this ceremony.
50 Bronze Figures
The Fountain of Faith" rep
resenting reunion after death,
is composed of 80 bronze figures,
ranging from one-half ton to
one and quarter tons in
weight, finished in antique green
patina. They were cast at the
Bergman foundries in Stock
holm, Sweden The group is
in a basin ITO feet long and As
feet wide set in a larger court.
The fountain has a recircula-
ton system in which 5000 gall
Ions of water per minute will
play on the figures.
The figures represent parents
and children, age and youth, in
various guises, all individual,
and towering above them, an
angel. At a brief interview
Mr.. Miles granted the Wash
1ngton newspaper art critics,
he indicated that each was in
spired by some one known to
him. although they are not in
tended as portraits" in any
sense.
Since mental concepts of par
adise, the hereafter, or what
ever one wishes to call it, vary
with each individual believer, it
seems best to approach Mr..
Miles latest creation as a work
OF art by an internationally
famous sculptor. Personally. I
received no spiritual message
from this group Of figures. I
have seen the greater part of
Mr.. Miles work in Sweden and
IN this country, and I like best
his concepts of nymphs and
sea gods, tabled creatures of
the water kingdom, half-human
and half-f1sh, dredged up from
the depths, with the seaweed
still clinging to them.

Senator Joseph r. Mccarthy,

bestowed on him by his smash
ing victory in the State pri-

Oil Strike Nears End
As Unions Agree 10
IWSB 15-Cent CeiIinq

The Nationwide oil strike may
soon be over, Government labor
officials predicted today.
The optimism arose when lead
ers of the striking unions ap-
peared ready to accept a 15-cent
ceiling set by the Wage Stabiliza-
ton Board on pay raises.
Some of the companies earlier
had agreed to the proposed wage
ceiling.
The strike. which has affected
the country's tourist trade and
air service both here and abroad,
has been on IS days.
Unions Approve PROPOSAL.
Union spokesmen in Denver
where negotiations have been held
said the co-ordinating commit
tee for the CIO-Independent-AFL
unions had reluctantly approved
the proposal. They said it would
be acceptable plus shift differen-
tials (more pay for night work. Of
six and IL cents and retroactive
pay.
WSB refused blanket approval
of shift differentials, but said
they would be considered on their
merits.
The WSB did not recommend
IA Is cents increase for everyone.
1t simply said it would not ap-
prove more than Is cents. The
Federal Cancellation Service has
ordered its regional directors to
Iget local negotiations started
Iagain.
The unions first wanted a raise
of 25 cents an hour. Later they
said they would take 18 cents.
Most oil workers now average be-
tween So and $2.10 an hour.
Restrictions Lifted.
The Government, meantime,
today lifted some export restric-
tions on shipment of oil products.
The action applies chiefly to Can
ada and Mexico.
The Petroleum Administration
for Defense said all package and
tank truck shipments of the prin-
cipal products were being freed
from restrictions imposed earlier
to conserve oil.
Also freed from the restrictions
are railroad tank car shipments
of all principal products except
aviation gasoline. Tanker and
barge shipments remain under

ship was in no way intended as a
means to pressure Congress or as
"a threat to the Government.
I'VE know that the rider will
cause a tremendous last-minute
rush by Federal employees early
next year to use all their 1852
annual leave" Mr.. George said
Therefore we want to make sure
that our members get all of their
leave. That's why we're suggest
ing that they put in their appli-
cations to their agencies as soon
as possible.
1--WE are not advocating that
they take all of their leave at
once. They can take it bit by bit,
at the convenience of their agency
We recognize that orderly opera
ton of Government must con-

employees get the chance to use all
of their 1852 annual leave by

The Controller General last
week ruled that leave prior to
1852 would not be affected. but
the Senate group wants to make
absolutely certain this ruling
would not be upset by some
subsequent court ruling on
Its legality. Therefore, it has

make certain that the intent of
Congress is not to touch leave ac-
cumulated in former years.
Three Dislike Rider.
All three members of the Sem

However. the Senators said it
would be hopeless to try to elimi-
nate the rider. The House would
not stand for its deletion, the en-
ploye leaders were told. Further
more, the Senators reminded the
employe leaders that last year the
Senate conferees vainly battled
for three weeks to defeat a similar
rider, only to lose in the end. This
rider subsequently was repealed
