Corcoron Gallery Gets Drawing
Revealing Franklin as Artist

At the time the drawing was
done, it is known that Franklin
was i'll at his residence in Paris
and was confined for several
months to the grounds of his
home.
Contradictory artistic elements
in the drawing make it impossible
for art experts to ascertain
whether the landscape was OF
Franklin's own garden, a copy of
another work or an imaginary
scene done in the style of the era.

Acheson Visits Brazil
With Expectation Of
BoIstering U. 5. Ties
BY the Assoclotsd Press

RIO DE JANEIRO. Brazil. July
3.-Secretary of State Acheson
began a flve-day official visit to
Brazil today-a trip designed to
strengthen bonds between the
United States and her largest
Latin American ally.
His crowded schedule included
calls today on President Getulic
Vargas and Foreign Minister Joao
NeveS da Fontoura. Tonight Mr.
Acheson will be the guest of honor
at an official banquet at which he
is expected to deliver a major
address.
MIR. Acheson and his wife ar
rived in the Brazilian capital last
night on their way home from a
tour Of Britain. Germany and
Austria, during which he attended
a meeting of the Big Three For
eign Ministers in London.
Officials Greet AchesOn.
Mr.. Neves da Fontoura, United
States Ambassador Hershel John
son and other high Brazilian and
United States officials greeted the
Secretary of State as he stepped
from President Truman's plane
the Independence.
It is felt that the Acheson visit
indicates official United States ap-
|preciation for Brazil's strategic
Importance to the West-not only
as supplier of raw materials but
as fighting ally in case of global
war.
A source close to the Brazilian
government said its financial ex-
perts will hold talks with Mr..
Acheson during his stay, probably
about increased United States
technical assistance for Brazil's
economic development program
and the purchase and lease Of
ships by Brazil.
One authoritative source said
Mr.. Acheson's visit was part of an
American effort to overcome a
feeling growing throughout Latin
America that the United States is
neglecting this part of the world
for Europe.
Communists Busy.
Signs of "Out With Acheson"
have appeared here. apparently
the work of Communists.
ImprenSa Popular, organ of the
outlaWed Communist Party, car
ried the same slogan as well as
a manifesto of the party's execu-
tive commission which called Sec
retary AcheSon a bloody enemy
of peace" The manifesto said
he was coming to get Brazilian
troops for Korea and to turn
over the nations oil industry to
STANDARD Oil"
During the Secretary's stop yes
terday in Recife. police arrested
several Communists distributing
pamphlets which called Secretary
Acheson the travelling salesman
of North American imperialism" "

Another accomplishment Of the
many talented Benjamin Frank
lin. never before known, was re-
vealed to the public yesterday
with the exhibition of the Cor
coran Gallery of Arts latest ac-
|quisition, drawing by the famous
patriot.
1t is a small, lightly drawn
classic garden landscape in ro-
mantle style-a work done only
for Franklin's own amusement
But it reveals, for the first time
that the Philadelphia printer
scientist = writer = statesman also
was an artist.
Scientific drawings by. Frank
lin are in existence, and he is
Credited with the first American
political cartoon. But until this
drawing came to public notice,
Corcoran officials could find no
references to Franklin as an art
ist.
The drawing is the gift of Dr.
John Oliver La Gorce, vice presi-
dent of the gallery and of the
National Geographic Society. DIR
La Gorce acquired the art work
from a descendant of Franklin
and it was indicated there may
be other such works privately
held by the family. A gallery Of
fetal said he had been unable to
find any listing of a Franklin art
work among museum and gallery
collections, however.
Not only does the drawing make
an important contribution to the
story of Franklin's gifted life, but
it is dated September Is, 1882. a
time when Franklin was Ameri-
can Minister to France, and when
negotiations for peace with Eng
land were reaching their final
elimination.

Board Member Joe Sirugo ques.
toned the cost of such a combined

Eligibility For Housing
Civil service employees are now
eligible for housing in Poinciana
Extension, West Poinciana and
Fort Village. Until last May 22,
these places have been restricted
for the Navy.
A. Maitland Adams, owner of
many Key West rental units, com
planned through Board Member
Joe Sirugo that the Navy had
agreed to do away with sub-stand-
ard housing when the new projects
at Sigsbee Park and Peary Court
were completed. Mr.. Adams felt
that the West Poinciana housing
should be so classified.
The Housing Authority Board
agreed that the housing units in
that area were hardly the most de-
sirable type, However, in view of
the fact that the Navy is assign
ing Squadron IL, with a compile
ment of 1850 personnel, to the 10
cal base, the Board felt that West
Poinciana housing was still des-
perately needed. Names of marri-
ed personnel in this new squadron
who desire housing have already
been submitted 10 the Authority.
There are $50 names on the
Housing Authorities waiting list al

Uncle Ruy's Corner By Ro"o" coff"o"

Here and there on this continent
you may find town, of sorJ. with
small animals making up the popu-
lation. The animals are known as
prairie dogs. Being rodents. they
are far outside the dog family, but
they bark or yelp somewhat like
dogs. That explains the "dog" part
of their name.
Prairie dogs live on far parts OF
prairies, away from human settle
ments, and on the foothills OF the
Rockies. They range from the
southern part of the plains area
of Western Canada down to Texas
and Mexico. There was a time
when they covered the plains area
far and wide with their towns,
but that time is past. Farmers
have made war on them, and they
have been driven from most parts
of the plains.
A full-grown prairie dog weighs
two or three pounds. Its tail is
only about 3 inches long.
Hundreds of prairie dog fami-
lies may live in an area Of half q
square mile. Their holes may be
only 5 or 6 feet from one another,
or they may be 80 or 10 feet apart
Unless their numbers are kept
down by animal enemies Or by men

of their town. One prairie dog
town grew until it stretched from
a western county of Kansas into
the State of Colorado, giving it a
length of 100 miles! That is only
one Of the large prairie dog towns
which have been discovered.
The holes are deep. A hole in
studied by w. H. Osgood,
was found to be shaped like the
capital letter 'L," which is the
usual shape Of prairie dog holes
The hole went straight downward
for 141a feet, then stretched out
at right angles for 1871 feet. The
main tunnel had q width Of 4
inches. Three rooms" were Joined

It may not be fair to charge Mr..
Muzzy or Mr.. Abel with outright
errors in the defense of todays
hand. Let's say they just made un-
fortunate choices of leads.
If a club had been led by the de-
fense at any time, squeeze would
not have been possible. But Mr..
Muzzy's opening lead was a spade
and Mr.. Abel,S nine spot forced the
ace.
Typically enough, Miss Brash
didn't look at all worried in spite
of the fact that she had a sure
trump loser and possible losers in
spades and clubs. After a little
thought she cashed dummy's three
top diamonds and got rid of her
spade loser.
Next she led a trump and Mr..
Abel was in with the ace. He, too,
had a chance to lead a club, but,
instead, returned the king of spades.
Miss Brash ruffed and then ran of
al of her trumps but one.
At this stage everybody had four
cards. And Miss Brash had Zap
parently) a sure club loser, which
represented the setting trick. Her
actual holding here was three clubs
to the king and a heart.
Mr.. MuzZy had his original three
clubs and the jack Of diamonds.
Dummy was down to the ace and
one club, the four of diamonds and
the jack Of spades. Mr.. Abel had
three clubs and the queen of spades.
Miss Brash led her heart. Mr..
Muzzy had to keep his diamond to
beat dummys four spot, so he
dropped club. The now worthless
diamond was discarded from the
board and the squeeze shifted to
Mr.. Abel. He couldn't throw away
his high spade and make dummy's
jack good, so he also discarded a
club. Miss BraSh then won the
last three tricks in the club suit.
