The Northwest times. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1947-1955, 1953-07-22

Today, in this exclusive series for
THE NORTHWEST TIMES on the
magnificent japanese Art Exhibit
now in the Seattle Art Museum, let
us consider the role of television in
depicting art of all kinds and parti-
cularly this exhibit, greatest of its
kind ever to visit America.
Next Monday, July 81, we hope
that all of you who have television
sets will look at KINGS Commune
ty Workshop, the education half
hour aired daily from 2 to 2:30 pm.
Mr.. Ed Thomas, education director
of the Art Museum, will present the
fourth in series of Monday TV
shows devoted to the japanese art
exhibit. Through the magic of te-
lewiston, next Mondays show will
bring to life the famous 18th and
18th century paintings of dancers in
the exhibit. The program will fea-
ture talented pupils of Madame Ma
katani, prominent teacher of Japa-
nese classical dancing. Miss Helene
Tsutsumoto will do a mask dance,
demonstrating the way the seventh
and eighth century Gigaku masks
seen in the exhibit, were used. Miss
Martha Nishitani, local exponent of
mdoern dance, wi interpret the
same theme in contempor aryi
manner.
This is but one of many television
shows devoted to the exhibit. Those
of you who have looked at TV this
month will have seen spot announ-
cements about the great exhibit,
suggesting that all of the local view
ers be sure to see the magnificent
collection. Station KTNT in Taco
ma has shown some programs, too,
but Station KING has gone "all out.
on this particular exhibit.
If you watch television next week,
you will find Bea Donovan featur-
ing Japanese cookery in honor of
the exhibit and you will see Beth
Leonard, with her daily VANITY
Views, show some of collection of
local japanese masks Bill Corcor-
an, with his daily KINGS Kamera
show, has already shown a japanese
fashion show and he will be featur-
ing other japanese programs. Hos
pitality Time, the weekly Thursday
afternoon TV program sponsored
by the Seattle Post Intelligencer.
last week featured Willard Rogers,
assistant director of the Seattle Art
Museum, and Mr.. Kurata, head of
the sculpture part of the exhibit, in
a discussion of the great historical
sculpture pieces on display. These
are but few of the TV shows de-
voted this month to japanese art.
Let us 90 back a moment to art
on television in Seattle to discover
one of the reasons why the local
station, only one in Seattle, has de-
voted so much time to this exhibit. I
More than a year and half ago, the
station decided to do a regular half |
hour show for Seattles educational

institutions; one of these, of course,
is the Seattlee Ar tMuseum. Mrs.
A. M. Young, the educational direc-
tor of the museum for the last 20
years, said at that time that she
would be happy to prepare a half
hour TV show on art every week for
the new venture in television. So
successful was her show and SO ma
ny new viewers did it attract that
the station was perfectly willing to
have the Art Museum continue with
full half hour every week-all ex-
penses paid by KING TV When
Mrs. Young fell ill last November,
Mr.. Thomas took over and he, too,
was a great success in the eyes of
KINGS program personnel. Conse-
quently, when the japanese Art Ex-
hibit came to Seattle, the station
was willing to do more than it would
ordinarily do for a civic institution.
Furthermore, Mrs. A. Scott Bullitt.
owner of the station, is a board
member of the Art Museum.
Thus for the first time in the
Northwest, television was ready and
willing to take it's camerason a We
ry expensive trip to the museum for
the opening preview night. Never
before in Seattle has a social event
been televised, but KINGS camera
men and program people went to
the museum with all the gear nee
essary to do remote broadcast of
the Japanese Art Exhibit preview,
not only because they considered it
an event of major Importance but
also because the museum had done
such an outstanding job for the
stations own educational series.
Television, of course, is an ideal
medium for the showing of art OBJ
jects. Everywhere in the country
museums are beginning to wake up

ing with the exhibit because publ
city is so important to continued at
tendance at the museum. But all of
them feel that television, plus the
weekly press like THE NORTH
WEST TIMES, can carry the load
of telling Seattle and its surround
ing area about the greatest art ex-
hibit ever to visit the Northwest.
The figures on daily attendance
prove that Seattle is responding to
this art exhibit in about seven times
the number per capita that New
York City, with its concentration of
art devotees, did. 1t could be our
nearness to the Orient; but we'd
like to feel that Seattle is no longer
a cultural wilderness Gas one art
critic said a decade ago. but a me-
tropolis surrounded by many small
er communities where a great part
OF the population either appreciates
already or wants to know more a
bous such things as japanese art. /

Wider Probation Powers
For D. {. Judqe's, SOUGHT

Chairman Case Of the Senate
District Committee yesterday re-
vived two city measures that
cleared Senate hurdles last year
but died in the House.
He introduced a bill to give
the judges Of the Municipal and
Juvenile Courts authority to
suspend sentences without pro-
baton.
Such a bill was urged last year
by Judge Milton s. Kronheim, jr.,
Of Municipal Court, acting as
spokesman for a group of
lawyers. Judges Of these two
courts now may acquit, fine, jail
or place on probation persons
found guilty, but they may not
suspend sentence without pro-
baton.
The South Dakota Senator also
offered a bill to amend the Dis
trict Credit Union Act to bring
various provisions more into line

Grant Sees Danger
To Community Chest
If VIVA Is 0usted

The Washington Housing AS
ISOLATION is lighting the final
fight for the preservation of the
Community Chest, and it is time
for the people of Washington
to know this"
That's what Maj. Gen. U. s.
Grant III, a member of the
board of WaA,-told a meeting
Of the group today at the YWCA,
Seventeenth and K streets NV.
Gen. Grant declared that if
the VIVA is forced out of the
Community Chest, it will pave
the way for 81 other member
organizations, named by critics
as mot fit companions of the
Chest" to be separated also.
"Since 1916, or thereabouts,
the effort has been made to
squeeze. or starve, or bully VIVA
out of the Community Chest, +"
Gen. Grant contended. 1.-THE
basic question is: DO the people
Of Washington really wish to
stop the public service now being
rendered every day by VIVA,
because in doing so we have
incurred the hostility of some
people? Is never doing any,
thing to which any one objects
to be a necessary condition for
membership in our Community
CheSt?'"

By Jock lonos

Michael w. Strauss, who never
backed away from a scrap, is
going to keep right on batting
for public power and irrigation
but no longer as a Government
official.
He'll load his big guns as q
private citizen in his home at
2714 Quebec street NV. in
stead of an Office in the In
terror Department. A controver-
sial figure in a controversial pro-
gram, he resigned Monday as
commissioner of reclamation.
Now he's going to campaign
from the lecture platform and
in public print all over the
world.
A year ago he finished a new
home at the Quebec street adj
dress. In so doing he went
from one extreme to another.
He moved from a 166-year-old
home he had been renting from
the Government into a modern
brick rambler in the. same neigh
borhood overlooking Rock Creek
Park.
Mr.. Straus is well equipped for
battle. He's tall enough-6 feet
3 inches-and broad-shouldered
enough to scare off the less de-
termined opponents.
Learned From Ickes.
He learned many of his tech
niques from the "Old Curmudg-
eon"-the late Harold L. IckeS.
AS a newspaperman. he fought
against Mr.. Ickes in Chicago. But
as a Government official he
fought at Mr.. Ickes' side.
He bears the scars of many
successful encounters with Con-
gress, and he has the back
ground of long years of work
with the program he plans to
promote as private citizen.
Mr.. StrauS will start firing
next week, when he heads north
for a lecture tour which will take
him to Philadelphia, New York
and Boston. In April he leaves
for Europe. where he will talk
with reclamation experts. He
has a book in manuscript, and
publisher, and plans other
books.
But writing a book is the best
way to keep a secret" he said.
Il hope to reach a wider
audience than that"
Mr.. StrauS does not shrink
from pointing with pride to his
accomplishments as Commits
sioner of Reclamation. During
his eight years in that job, the
bureau spent more than SIT
billion to build the big Govern
ment dams and handle irriga-
ton projects in the West.
1T has been the Golden Age
of Reclamation" he said. I'm
eight years We increased Federal
irrigation by 100000 acres. a
