Colony Show

An exhibition CT work by
students of James v. Cupoli
is on view at the Colony
lounge, 1897 DeSales street
NV. The show is pleasing,
with good paintings by most
of these young people, whose
work is largely conservative.
It demonstrates that they are
getting a good foundation in
craftsmanship and compost
ton along traditional lines,
and they can go on to expert
mentation later.
The most promising student,
in my opinion. is Betty Piper,
whose "Acolyte Festival" has
q modern slant. with emphasis
on repeated triangles in the
architectural details and line
of singing young people.

a retrospective exhibition in

coran, through tomorrow week.
Dove died in 1916, aged 66.
Mr.. Phillips, who acquired
for the Phillips Gallery the
most comprehensive collection
of Doves work, wrote an ap-
praisal of the artist which is
mounted with the show, and is
a beautiful and perceptive
critique. Among other things.
Mr.. Phillips says that Dove
proceeded to make out of the
pattern, the symbol, as in the
childhood of the race"
Dove was the complete in

The works on view cover about
20 years. They begin in 1925,

Art News
Woman Studied
In Current Shows
By Florence S. Berrymon

Two widely divergent artists
viewpoints Of women are now
on view in Washington gall
leries. Bernice Cross inter-
pretations, at the Phillips CAL
lery. were reviewed here last
Sunday. Willem de Kooning's
woman is exploSively domiciled
at the Workshop Art Center
Gallery (1300 New Hampshire
avenue) through next FRIDAY.
A factual account Of de Koon-
ing and a general critique Of
his work were given in these
columns May 81.
To say that Mr.. de Kooning
impresses me as q misogynist
is an ahySmal understatement.
His king-size latest paintings
express such spleen that one
wonders what happened in his
earlier years to produce such
an attitude. From all ac-
counts. he has been happily
married for a decade to a
beautiful young wife. But If
an average visitor to this show
knew nothing about de Koon-
ing, he might justifiably feel
that the artist should put him.
self in the hands of a top
grade psychiatrist.
Triple Threat Genius
There are nearly always two
viewpoints. of course. Mr.. de
Kooning is a e-threat gen.
ius to avant-garde critics and
devotees, whose estimates are
as valid as those of tradition
alistS. The handieSt example
of the advanced" viewpoint
is Clement Greenberg's en-
thusiastic appraisal on the
back of the catalogue available
at the Workshop gallery. Vis-
itors to the show should read
it attentively. then study the
paintings and reach their own
conclusions.
Having followed my own ad-
vice, I still feel that de Koon-
ing considers "the female Of
the species more deadly than
the male" His few paintings
in the show, Of men (1938 to
40 are sensitive. low-keyed
naturalistic captures. But
earlier than these is the
Seated Woman" (1937) done
with more gusto, greater free
dom and markedly brighter
colors. In fact, from that
painting on through this
years. Mr.. de Kooning deals
with woman in hot shades of
pink, from light magenta to
earth red, mustard yellow,
emerald green and warm blue.
The black line which encloses
these color areas becomes
more slashing as time passes.
and the artists apparent
frenzy increases from year to
year.
Maybe the future will con-
slider Willem de Kooning as
an old master. But on the
basis Of these horrific paint
ings, I doubt it.

chanic. She liked tinkerine
with engines and learned to
fly.
She also could sing and soon
was a dance orchestra soloist
in New York and Daytona
Beach.
While singing in Florida,
she watched seaplane land.
That's for me-" she told
herself, and her singing ca
reer ended.
She returned to Cleveland,
went to work for the Civil
AeronauticS Administration
and resumed flying. Trans
ferred here by the CAA, she
was awarded a fellowship.
She now has a flying instruc-
tors rating and recently was
appointed to a responsible
CAA job in Panama.
Miss Howard graduated
from Western High School
and learned to- fly about 10
years ago. She boosted her
education at George Wash
ington University and Con-
necticut College, and at the
same time spent as much time
as possible in the air.
She now has more than 400
hours and has piloted planes
in several tranScontinental air
races. AS far as a job is con-
cerned, she is assistant to a
director in an association of
aircraft and parts manufac-
turerS here, and her next am
bition-of all thingS-lS to
master heliocopter flying.
Both probably would admit
that the Godfrey fellowships
helped them considerably in
getting as far as they have.
But maybe there's another
story behind the fellowshipS.
Why did Godfrey set them up
in the first place?
AS most every one knows,
he is an aviation enthusiast.
He got the bug when he was
an early morning program disc
jockey here. Now he flies his
own planes and has been
identified with various air
activities for a long time.
He learned to fly at a little
airport near Alexandria at a
time when it might have been
a little strain on the Godfrey
pocketbook. Consequently,
maybe he realizes the frustra-
tionS of those who want a
place in aviation but can't
afford it.
Maybe that's why he set up
the fellowships. Let's call him

FLYING FELLOWSH|PS

THANKS to Arthur Godfrey,
l. go young men and women
are being helped on their way
in one of Americas youngest
yet most difficult professions
aviation.
AirplaneS have been here
since the turn of the century,
but the fact remains that, on
the ground or in the air, avia-
ton is a business that SEEM
ingly becomes more and more
complex.
1t is not a trade that can be
picked up like meat-cutting
or bread-baking or candle
stick-making-or, for that
matter, writing stories like
this. The cost of learning
almost any phase of it comes
high.
That is why the Arthur
Godfrey fellowships to Ameri-
can University have been par
ticularly beneficial. Gradu-
ateS and undergraduates to
whom they have been granted
have gotten advance training
and education which, other
wise, they might not have
been able to afford.

Two years ago, Godfrey
gave American U. $4,000 for
fight instruction and avia-
ton schooling for worthwhile
students as a part OF the
univerSity'S transportation
course. Recently, he renewed
the grant for the second time.
The original grant plus the
two renewals total $36, 1000.
Under the direction of DR..
L. M. Homberger, the univer-
Sity probably has one of the
most comprehensive trans
portation courses in the coun-
try. It embraces virtually all
phases of the rail and air
industries.
In the air fellowships,
recipients get IS hours of
flight instruction, in addition
to classroom study. When fall
classes start, a new group will
begin work.

Battle Against Tax
BY the Assoeiotsd Press

MARSHALL. Tex, May 23.-
A group of Marshall housewives
who don't believe in collecting
Social Security taxes from
domestic help will have a circuit
court hearing next Tuesday in
New Orleans.
The group borrowed $500
from Marshall banks today to
pay an attorney to represent
them before the fifth circuit
court of appeals. At least II of
the housewives plan to leave this
week end to attend the hearing.
A spokesman for the group
said they would be joined in New
Orleans by Vivien Kellems, Con-
necticut industrialist and out
spoken foe of Federal withhold
ing taxes; Mary Cain, Mississippi
editor opposed to certain Federal
taxes, and Westbrook Pegler,
columnist.
The case began when several
Marshall women refused to de-
duct Social Security taxes from
the wages paid domestic en-
ployeS. The Internal Revenue
Bureau seized their bank ac-
counts to collect the taxes and
penalty due. The Marshall
women took the case to Federal
court, claiming that the deduc-
ton clause was unconstitutional
When a judgment was returned
against them in Federal District
Court, they appealed to the cir
cult court.

Standards Bureau Killed Talk On ADX2 c. IT, Expert Says

DR.. Keith ]. Ladder, assistant
professor Of chemistry at Catho-
lie University, has complained to
Secretary of Commerce Weeks
that Bureau of Standards Of
ficials torpedoed q speech DR..
Ladder planned to make in sup
port of a battery additive. AD-X2.
The chemical was the focal point
in the recent dispute over Mr..
Weeks attempt to oust DR.. Allen
v. Astin as bureau director.
DR.. Ladder gave this account Of
the incident: The Philosophical
Society of Washington asked him
to address meeting on AD-X2;
Bureau of Standards officials
opposing AD-X2 felt they were
not authorized to appear on the
same program. so they objected
to DR.. Ladders scheduled talk:
the Philosophical Society then
Cancelled the Ladder speech.
The Bureau of Standards has
condemned AD-X2 as no good;
DR.. 1aidler, who is a conSultant
to the manufacturer of the
chemical, says AD-X2 prolongs
battery life.
Asks Weeks For Report.
"The bureau knew it would
be put in a very unfavorable
light by my speech, and they
used this method of keeping me
SILENT" DR.. Ladder told a re-
porter.
DR.. Ladder said the Commerce
Department asked for q report
on the incident. He said he had
written Secretary Weeks that
bureau officials objected to his
speech on grounds they them
selves would not be allowed to
speak.
A spokesman for the Bureau
of Standards denied that bureau
officials objected to DR.. Ladders
scheduled talk. 80

The Philosophical Society and the
society's xecutive committee

ceiling DR.. Ladders speech. They
explained in a formal statement
that they wanted to hear both

Here is a case of a man who
was fortunate enough to find q

demonstrated its worth by num-
erous tests" DR.. Ladder said in
his prepared address.
He is, however, harried to
death by Government science and
is compelled to devote his ac-
tivities not to improving the
product and learning more about
its action-as I know he would
have done If he had had time
but rather to justifying the worth
Of his product to a group Of in
