and vibrance of Key West light.
His work represents emotional ma
Iturity and technical skill.
Philip Wylie described, In his
Iperceptive way, impressions of
Gene Otto's art in 1850.
He said "The cataract of light
which floods Key West has chal-
lenged many painters and then, as
they painted, overwhelmed their
Ipalettes and confused their talents.
In tumultS of celebration they have
generally lost. and lost altogether,
that mixture of strange magic and
intense familiarity which they have
perceived and relished and endea-
vored to set down. The light Is
starkly white, the radiance of tro-
pical sun, so constant and so vio-
lent In itself. AS it battles the land
scape, even the most freshly-open-
ed flower gives back from its vivid
surfaces more of the sense of pure
light than of particulars hue.
"This is the observation upon
(which Gene Otto has based an orr.
ginal thesis for painting tropical
regions a thesis which has met
with enthusiasm among critics and
collectors. He has found a new key
in which to reflect the light soak

vince in the heat and blanche in

Ireland Might Grant
u. 5. Military Bases,
Visiting Official Hints

Ireland might permit estab-
lishment of United States bases
on her island, Sean LemaSS,
deputy prime minister, indicated
yesterday in a talk at the Ma
tional Press Club.
Mr.. LemaSS said he thought
the Irish people would be will
ing to play a more active part
in international affairs, but ex-
planned that Ireland did not
join the North Atlantic Treaty
Organization because that pact
required existing boundaries Of
states be preserved.
In view of Ireland's partition,
with six Ulster counties under
the North of Ireland govern
ment, his people could never
agree to permanent division of
the island, Mr.. LemaSS declared.
He implied a request for United
States bases would receive Seri-
Gus and favorable consideration
by his government.
~ The visiting statesman was
asked to comment on the parti-
ton of Korea, Germany, Austria
and the Iberian Peninsula. He
replied laughingly: "As a general
policy, we're against partition. "
Mr.. LemaSs said Ireland would
welcome the investment of
American capital and is particu-
larly interested in obtaining en-
terprises that use new techniques
and products.
The emigration of Ireland's
young people has not halted. Mr..
Lemass declared. But he said his
government is attempting to i'm
prove economic conditions to
keep them at home.

SWIMMING POOL

st. Louis - Last week the
United States Court of Appeals
for the 9th circuit in an unani-
nous opinion affirmed the lower
court judgement emitting Ne
groes in Kansas City, Mo. to use
the Swope Park Swimming Pool,
municipality owned and operat-
ed swimming pool, which had
been reserved exclusively for
White people. The lower courts
judgement was ntered in Janu-
airy of 1852. This appeal was ar
gued in St. Louis on November
Is, 1852 before the U. S. Court
of Appeals for the 9th circuit.
In announcing its opinion, the
court laid emphasis on the fact
that Negroes were admitted to
Swope Park and that having been
admitted they could not be re-
quired to go to some far distance
to use the segregated swimming
pool while White people were
permitted to use the swimming
pool at Swope Park. The city
announced that it would take the
case to the Supreme Court of the
United States.
The case was instituted in 1850
by Esther Williams, Lena r.
Smith and Joseph Moore, mem
bers of the NAACP Branch in
Kansas City. The NAACP at
torneys handling the case are Carl
