prerequisites for combat paint
ing"
Having no turps or linseed oil,
he used jeep gasoline as a
thinner, and his work dried fast,
a fortunate thing since there
was no place to store wet oil
paintings. Either the gasoline
or his enthusiasm, he says, wore
his sable hair brushes down to
nubS.
In the latter part of Decem-
ber, 1880, he started painting
the Gates of Suwon." Two
days after his last sketches, the
Chinese took over the city and
later destroyed all the buildings
in the vicinity of the historic
gates.
Born in 1920, Maj. Bales comes
from Dana, Ind. An artist from
childhood, he received his first
set of oil paints from his COL
umniSt uncle. He attended the
University of Illinois and in 1941
entered the service. He was in
the Air Corps until December.

In 1948 he went to the South

Dalton Would 'Prune'
Private Agencies on
State Subsidy List
Special Dispoieh TO The Stor

RICHMOND, Va, Oct. g.
State Senator Ted Dalton, Re-
publican candidate for Governor,
today called for a pruning" of
the list of private groups getting
State subsidies.
His Democratic opponent in
the November 3 election, Thomas
B. Stanley. declined to discuss
the issue, saying. II haven't seen
the requests, and therefore I
couldn't make any comment at
this time"
Mr.. Stanley turned down an
offer to have the list of agencies
read to him over the telephone
by a reporter.
PTA Groups Action.
The question arose when the
Virginia Congress of Parents and
Teachers yesterday asked State
Budget Director j. H. Bradford
to remove its $10,000-a-year ap-
preparation from the budget.
Mrs. F. w. Smith, executive
secretary of the parent-teacher
group, said the PTA Congress
had reached the point where it
could operate without tax funds
and thereby become more truly
a volunteer organization"
It was one of % private as
sociations which drew $366,060
from the States general fund in
the current budget.
Sees Need to Cut Back.
II feel that the budget franz
ers should re-examine the entire
group of two dozen private or
ganizations with a view of prun-
ing those which do not perform
services beneficial to the public
generally" Mr.. Dalton said.
Mr.. Dalton said that those
agencies retained on the list
should have their funds handled
through the regular departments
Of government so that the pub
lie will know how the money is
spent.
Mr.. Dalton was one of a few
legislators to oppose such SUBJ
sides to private groups in the
1852 General Assembly.

TroubeI Praises Blues as Art,
But Husband Manager Fumes.
Operu Star Is Calm
Despite Ball Come
And Verbal TunqIes

Singer Helen Traubel consid-
ers her rendition of the "St.
Louis Blues" as serious a part
Of her art as her Wagnerian
opera roles. she said yesterday
in a dissonant press conference.
Miss Traubel remained calm
and friendly with interviewerS at
the Hotel Statler, where she
opens two-week engagement
in the Embassy Room tonight.
But her husband and manager
William Bass, tangled frequently
with reporters.
A further distraction from the
subject of the singers differ
enceS with Rudolph Bing, man
ager Of the Metropolitan Opera,
over her night club performances
was the telecast of the World
Series game.
Had Refused Contract.
Miss Traubel earlier this week
refused to sign a new contract
with the Metropolitan after a
letter from Mr.. Bing expressing
the view that night club and
Metropolitan appearances do
not really seem to mix very
WE'LL"
He suggested that after a year
or so she might want "to change
back to the more serious aspects
of your art"
The singer replied that "artiS-
tic dignity is not matter of
where one SINGS" and that she
thought the time had come for
American artists to recognize
that American folk music sis as
much their province as Wagner,
Beethoven and Verdi"
Miss Traubel made her night
club debut at the Chez Paree
in Chicago on September II.
1rke0 Husband.
The question about the artistic
stature of "St. Louis Blues" as
compared with Miss Traubel's
Bruenhilde and Isolde was one of
several which aroused Mr.. Bass s
displeasure with reporters.
Paul Hume, music critic of the
Washington Post, who asked the
question, retorted he was asking
Miss Traubel and not Mr.. Bass.
When Milton Berliner of the
Washington Daily News inquired
whether the singer thought Mr..
Bing was attacking American
music, Mr.. Bass demanded, "Why
ask her, why not ask Mr.. Bing?"
Somebody wondered whether
Miss Traubel considered that Mr..
Bing'S letter contained an "ul-
timatum," and whether she felt
that she had quit" the Metro
politan or had been fired"
Mr.. Bass began pickering with

Howell Seeks Ideas
On Expanding Work
OF Fine Arts Group

Representative Howell, Demo-
crat, of New Jersey, today asked
interested organizations to send
him comments on how the work
of the Fine Arts Commission
might be expanded.
Mr.. Howell said he already has
received numerous suggestion
and was interested in reactions
to one expanding the member
ship of the commission from
seven to 81 members. This would
be accompanied by an expansion
of the activities of the commits
sion.
Nominations by City Heads.
Under the proposal, the Dis
trict Commissioners would NOM
mate IL members who would be
appointed by the President. The
other 10 members would be Sc
lected by the President.
Mr.. Howell said the organiza-
tions making this proposal stated
that, since the commission is
mainly concerned with the city
of Washington, it should have
major representation among its
members of District citizens.
Ideas from Art Groups.
"The recommendations for
amending the act which estab-
lished the present commission
are under consideration by me, "
Mr.. Howell said. "They are adj
vanced here largely for purposes
of discussion prior to final re-
vision in my fine arts bill"
He said various suggestions,
including this one, have come
from a number of fine arts Or
ganizations across the country.
He described the one to increase
the commission membership as
most arresting."
The commission, in a report to
the President earlier this year,
opposed any basic change to its
organization.

papers over the word "ulti-
matum" and got around to sug-
gesting that the reporter might
want to be a dull lout."
"Oh, don't be silly said Mr..
Madigan, exasperated.
Miss Traubel, however, con-
tinued to answer questions ami
cably enough when she could get
a word in, even when asked
whether she found her taxing
Wagnerian roles less easy" now
than in past years.
mo, I wouldn't say it is less
easy" she replied.
She added in answering an
other question that she had no
idea" whether the three engage
ments in the proffered contract
were "the usual number for an
artist of the first rank to sing
in a Metropolitan season.
Meanwhile, the singer, a
Yankees rooter, kept an eye on
the baseball game, and her
hearty laugh rang out from time
to time.
She said she did not know
whether she would be able to fit
an invitation to appear with the
National Symphony Orchestra
here into her 50-concert sched-
ule this year. She will make
several night club appearances.
Tonight her program is
planned to include two popular
song hits. "I Believe" and mo
Other Love-" some of the Grieg
music from the "Song of Nor
way" and a compilation of arias
from Aida" Carmen" Mad
anne Butterfly, and "Pagliacci."
Asked whether she planned to
"kiss and make up" with Mr..
Bing, Miss Traubel replied:
Il don't know about kiss and
make up mine is the friend
liest feeling for the greatest in
stitution of it's kind in the world.
There is no question about that"

Jail Director
 C0nfers With City Officials

The new Director of the A. laska Jail System conferred with Mayor Lee Bettinger and members of the city councl Wednesday regarding the city operating the U. s. Federal Jail.
 Roy Casey, the new director, arrived on the early plane Wednesday and returned on the evening plane. Casey has been granted authority to en- ter into an agreement with the. city for rental of the local jail at a fee of $l per year. He said he was pleased with the present operation of the Kodiak jail. However, under the new jail system all federal prisoners with long sentences will serve their time in a prison farm which will be con- structed in the Anchorage area.
 Casey explained that the new system would provide work for prisoners and would aid in their rehabilitation.
 The new director has many years in prison work. Prior to his coming to Anchorage seve- ral week ago he visited several federal prison camps in the states.
 He indicated that while the Morningside Sanitarium in Washington offers good care of che insane, Alaska should have such an institution in the territory for the mentally i'll.
 What Alaska needs is leg islation that will provide for the care of the insane" Casey said. "Why should a person that is insane be held in a jail? If a man breaks his leg he is not taken to jail, he is taken to the hospital"
