wilton as well as one at their town
house here at Sheridan Circle.
Mr.. WadSWorth's most famous
piece is the bust he did of Gen.
Macarthur and it has quite a
history. On April II last year.
which was the day the general
arrived here, the sculptor got up
lat 5 in the morning and was in
spired to start this work.
Finish Work July 9
AS he worked on it that day
he watched the great figure on
television when he addressed Con-
gresS and then the artist went
in person ito see the parade. He
finished it on July 8 Of that year
and took it to New York for the
general to see. Mr.. Wadsworth
stayed at the Waldorf Astoria
where the MacArthurs were also
living and he got the various
chamber maids. walters, etc., who
saw Macarthur daily, to criticize
1t for him. On the 18th Gen.
Macarthur signed the bust. His
bold signature appears on his
left breast which is where he
would normally wear his medals.
His famous cap is also Of course
portrayed.
It was cast in bronze then and
in September Mr.. Wadsworth took
it to San Francisco. The reason
for this was that he intended to
present it to the Peace Confer
ence there which was drawing up
the Japanese Peace Treaty. They
would not accept it.
Mr.. Wadsworth got the idea Of
doing this from the earlier San
Francisco conference out Of which
came the United Nations. At that
meeting there was a portrait OF
the late President Roosevelt which
became a symbol of the confer
|ence. He felt that Macarthur
could mean the same thing to the
Peace Conference.
The signed plaque Of the Cen
eral. his wife and his son. will
eventually be presented to the gov
ernment of Japan, Mr.. Wadsworth
hopes. The inscription on it reads
Long lasting peace to the gov
lernment and the people of Japan.

One local couple who will not
throw stones are Mr.. and Mrs.
Julius Wadsworth. They live in
q glass house!
This modern phenomena was
the scene of party they gave
yesterday to celebrate Mr.. Wads-
worth'S f1ftieth birthday. The
setting makes it even more un-
usual as it is built on land that
at one time belonged to General
George Washington. Mrs. Wads-
worth named it Potomac Pavilion.
The house is all one room so
feet by 18 feet and is nine feet
tall. It was built in the last half
of 1850. The party yesterday was
an open house from 2 to 6 and
that can be taken literally as the
house was really opened up. When
asked if they ever felt like gold
fish, Mr.. Wadsworth said no be-
cause of the woods all around
them and the heavy curtains in
the house.
Varied Career
When you looked about you
realized that your host was not
only a former diplomat and Army
Officer, but is now a sculptor.
When talents were being passed
out Mrs. WadSworth was not over
looked for she is potter and
made all the plates, ETC.. they
have there. She also designed
most of the furniture.
The Wadsworths started their
present artistic careers after the
war. Examples of the hosts ac-
:omplishments seen yesterday were
a bust of Gen. Macarthur, the
peace plaque Of the three Mac
Arthurs and the Hickey memorial
fountain. Hickey was Admiral
Byrd's lead sled dog on his third
Antarctic expedition.
Mrs. Wadsworth is not new to
the art world as she has long
been a painter and just recently
exhibited some Of her works at
the Corcoran Gallery Of Art. The
Wadsworths are a family with
plenty Of places to work. They

Rluehsh,

Bluefish are born fighters. They
are the most destructive to other
species but they are one Of our
most valuable fish, from the stand
point Of angling, sports and edi-
bility.
They are wide rangers, some. be-
ing found In the Indian Ocean
the Mediterranean Sea and In the
Malay Archipelago. Australia, al
the Cape of Good Hope. at Natal
and Madagascar. On this continent
they range from Central Brazil and
the Guianas through the Gull OF
Mexico, and at times to Nova
Scotia. OF late years there have
been sensational spring runs or
the Carolina coast. Mild winters
and higher water temperatures may
have been the reason.
Blueflsh are rather exclusive, be-
ing a family comprising only one
genus and One species. They are
desperate fighters ct all times, ask.
ing no favors, giving none. Ths
young bluefish spends his entire
lifetime fighting for its life. II i,

ut is believed that the latest
offer of peace will turn out to
be nothing more than q Trojan
horse. News item.
According to legend. the ancient
city Of Troy was besieged for 10
years by Grecian armies. Then the
Greeks built a mammoth wooden
horse in which they concealed many
warriors. The horse was left be-
for the city gates. and the unsus-
pecting Trojans brought 1t into
Troy. That night the Greeks crept
forth, opened the gates. and adj
mitted the army, which quickly
took the city.
Hence, a Trojan horse (or, more
properly, a wooden horse) is an
offer of friendship or cooperation
that, while seeming in good faith,
has for its object betrayal and de-
struction.

Mr.. Abel spent all his time in
today's deal worrying about how to
play the club suit. OF course, he
was under strain, playing with
Mr.. Champion, who had been YELL
ing at him all during the rubber.
In any case, he did not give
himself every chance for his con-
tract. Mr.. Dale opened the four of
hearts and Mr.. Masters king was
permitted to hold. The jack of
hearts was returned and Mr.. Abel
had to win it.
He led a low club toward the
dummy and Mr.. Dale played the
ten. Dummy's ace won and Mr..
Abel went into the library. Was
that ten singleton or had Mr.. Dale
started with the queen and ten
alone? There was another very
real possibility.
Mr.. Dale may have started with
the ten and low club. He would
play the ten from that holding ]
hoping to talk Mr.. Abel out of
flnessing the jack on the second
club lead.
Mr.. Abel finally decided to play
Mr.. Masters for the queen of clubs.
He led back the eight from the
board and let it ride. Mr.. Dale
won and ratified of enough heart
tricks to defeat the contract.
