begin in the morning. Schools
that have not been serving milk
have unlimited opportunity to
make milk available to their chill
dren. Schools already serving
milk can increase the size of
servings, and a child may drink
as many servings as he wants.
The increased consumption will
mean immediate and long-range
benefits both to the dairy in
dustry and to schoolchildren, ac-
cording to McAllister, because
milk drinking promotes good
health during childhood and a
firm health foundation for later

Farm Surpluses Promoted
For Sale Abroad by USDA

The United States Department
of Agriculture has taken initial
steps to carry out its responsible
ity, as delegated by Congress, for
disposing of up to $500 million in
surplus agricultural commodities
through foregn trade channels.
This positive step has been taken
to provide better chance for the
new farm program to operate
free of the effect of price-depress-
ing surpluses which have been
built up under previous programs.
Another program to be admin
istered by the Foreign Operation
Administration provides for dis
posal of an additional $500 mil
lion in surplus agricultural COM
modities for special projects to
be worked out with friendly for
eign nations. This will make a
total of 81 million in farm prod
ucts to be disposed of abroad over
the next 8 years.
Under the new legislation,
friendly countries can pay for up
to S700 million worth of United
States agricultural commodities
with their own currencies. The
United States viii use those cur
rencies to develop new markets,
strengthen it's military defenses,
and for other purposes.
This program was established
under Public Law 480, known as
the Agricultural Trade Develop
ment and Assistance Act. Enact
ment of the legislation followed
recognition by Congress of the
need for positive action to main
tain and expand this country's
farm exports.
The Department will administer
the sale provisions of the pro-
gram, but will not do any direct
selling itself. It's service will be
to facilitate sales made by pri-
vate trade. 1t will do this by in
forming American agriculture of
possible foreign markets and by
providing important services in
contacts with other governments
where imports are strictly con-
trolled.

More Milk For Schools
Through New USDA Plan

Many schoolchildren will be
drinking more milk during this
school year, says w. T. McAllis-
ter, Extension marketing special
ist at the University of Delaware.
The milk is available through a
plan carried out by the u. S. De-
partment of Agriculture to in
crease consumption of fluid milk
in schools.
The plan was made possible
when Congress this year author
lied use of Commodity Credit
Corporation funds, not to exceed
$50,000,000 annually, to boost
milk consumption and expand
dairy markets.
Nationally, the program is ad-
ministered by the Agricultural
Marketing Service, the agency
which operates the national school
lunch program. Within States it
is handled through State educa-
tional agencies. Schools will be
reimbursed for a portion of the
cost of the increased amount of
milk served to children. Milk is
bought from local dairies.
To determine how much con-
sumption has been increased, a
base" is established for each par
ticipating school, representing its
normal consumption of milk. Then
the school is reimbursed for part
Of the cost of all milk served in
addition to the base. To partici-
pate in this program, school
must operate it's food and milk
service on a nonproft basis.
The program allows local school
officials wide authority in it's ap-
plication. Milk may be served at
any time during the schoolday-

Writing The Yozoo' Longtime Job
For Busy Mississippi Congressman

One Congressman at least

almost as long to get a book

through Congress.
Representative Frank E.
Smith of Mississippi, author
of a newly published volume
in the Rivers of America series,
THE Yazoo," signed the con-
tract for the book way back in
1947. A Mississippi friend and
fellow river author, Holding
Carter, recommended him for

But in those seven years, a
number Of matters kept COM

Congressman's attention. First

of the lore is in the minds Of

with a lot of it himself.

who was a Washington artist
in the early 1940s. Her little
limestone shawled head of q
child seems to me the most
beautiful work in the show,
and one Of the few traditional
exhibits. Most of the objects
are experimental.
The sculptors have obvious
ly learned how to handle their
materials, for many pieces are
handsome in surface and tex
ture, and some of the materi-
ais beautiful per Sc. The de-
rivative nature Of not a few
of them may be inevitable. At
any rate, one catches glimpses
or feels the influence of Henry
Moore, Mary Gallery, Chain
Gross, David Smith, Lippold
and others.
Among the works I liked best
are Greta Scheeller's little

young woman with a mirror.

Half a dozen of the metal
sculptures are spiky abstrac-

More successful, I think, are
the hollow metal figures which
convey gestures and attitudes.

Heroine
Madame de Pomp0dour

Madame de Pompodour
BY Nancy Milford.
Random House; $z.75.I
In the fiction which is her
usual form Of expression
Nancy Milford chronicles the
efforts Of the English upper
classes to cope with the magic
Of romance. In her first ven
ture into biography, she has
not ventured so very far
afleld. Her subject. Mime.
de Pompadour. could have
been @the heroine Of one Of
Miss Mitford's novels, being
gay, frivolous and all for
love.
Miss Mitford's light touch
seems especially suited to this
account Of a bourgeois girl
who made good at the intri-
cate and elaborate court Of
Louis XIV. The monarch Of
France felt misunderstood at
home. and after q trio Of un-
usually mortal sisters had
died in quick succession and
left him lonely. the whole
country held its breath while
he made a new choice.
Il Was in the Cords
When his eye fell on jeanne
Antoinette D'Etioles, nee Pois-
son. she was not surprised,
and certainly not dismayed.
A fortune teller had told
her when she was 8 that
she would reign over the
heart of a king. Nor was it
simply for the power and
glory Of Versailles that she
so lightly turned her back on
M. D'Etioles. Louis XIV was q
handsome, husky voiced. shy
man. who captured her heart
and held it for the 20 years
Of their relationship.
No wife had a more tactful
rival than Queen Marie Lee
zinska, the dull Polish con-
sort of Louis XIV. Mime. de
Pompadour was O genuine
charmer, who sincerely didn't
want to make anybody un-
happy, and she did all she
could to show respect and con-
sideration for the Queen.
The French people despised
her and expressed their resent
ment in widely circulated poi
sonous rhymes. In most cases,
though. to know her was to
love her.
And love her the King did
for 20 years. Her hold on
him was not primarily sex
ual, according to Miss Nit
ford, who maintains that the
delectable marquise was "cold
by nature" What she offered
was love and laughter in equal
measure, exceptional good
taste and the ability to sur
round herself with people of
talent and charm.
She was often i'll, but ever
cheerful. She died with great
courage. Miss Milford does
not judge her at all. Nine. de
Pompadour was the epitome of
her extravagant frivolous age
which was consumed in the
flames of the French Revolu-
ton. She filled an exacting
role with considerable diStinc-
ton and this biographer gives
her full credit. M. Meg.

Lozzuri Show
AT Workshop
By Florence S. Berrymon

Pietro Lazzari is. one Of
Washington's best-known art
lists and most active expert
mentalists. His current retro
spective at the Workshop
Center Of the Arts. 1900 New
Hampshire avenue, through
next Friday Is the largest yet
held in Washington, where he
has averaged q one-man show
annually. in the past seven
years. and others earlier. not to
mention his regular participa-
tion in group exhibitions.
Mr.. Lazzari works in many
media. as did his spiritual
forebearS in Renaissance
Italy. In the past Is years,
he has perhaps received most
attention for his development
Of painting in polychrome
cement. and q method of
casting sculpture in the same
material. In 1850 he spent q
year In his native italy on a
Fulbright fellowship grant,
doing research In Roman fres-
CO technique. In the 1930s, he
developed q fresco mosaic
technique. Recently he has
further advanced his poly
chrome cement technique in
several works on view in
which color glows as if
under glass. Yet in this
secret process, he says, the
works are not fired, as one
would expect. to achieve such
a surface.
Mr.. Lazzari has been a
landscape and portrait paint
er, graphic artist. sculptor,
teacher and mural painter.
From 1896 to 1912 he painted
murals in United States post
Offices, under auspices of the
Section Of Fine Arts of the
Public Buildings Administra-
ton. He received special
mention in many Government
painting competitions.
Sculpture Exhibits
He has received awards from
the Corcoran Gallery and the
Baltimore Museum in the past
few years for sculpture. Four
teen works in this medium are
included among some IS ex-
hibits in the present show, his
first retrospective. Half are
portrait busts. traditional in
character, and excellent like
'nesses, to judge from the heads
of subjects with whom I am
acquainted.
Among the most beautiful of
Mr.. Lazzari's achievements are
his silver point and his ink
drawings, in which he reveals
mastery Of expressive line.
These two media are scarcely
represented in the current
show, which omissions, in my
opinion, make it something
less than a comprehensive sur
vey Of his work.
Pietro Lazzari's work is cer-
tainly in contemporary idioms.
But his vitality and exuber-
ance, his extensive interests
and experiments, are on such
a scale that he does not seem
to be stranded in the present
era.
This exhibition remains only
through next Friday. Hours
