DUSSELL ]. QUANDT, re-
IL storer of paintings at the
Corcoran Gallery of Art, has
to handle decay, deception,
mystery and fraud, as we'll as
paint and varnish.
His primary job is to pre-
serve the life OF. paintings. But
since many restorers were not
always as meticulous as they
should have been, he says, the
job involves exposing and un-
doing their mistakes and de-
ceptions.
In the past, a favorite re-
storer's remedy for the ills
that art is heir to was over
painting - the covering of
original paint with new.
Whatever restorers were try
ing to accomplishment Mr..
Quandt finds evidence in his
Corcoran basement laboratory
that their motives were some
times less than honest-they
did little to extend the lives
of paintings. But until recent
years, the public joined in
accepting artistic deception as
common practice.
Mr.. Quandt and other re-
storers today are not trying
to fool anybody. What he does
"to help painting resist the
slow but incessant action of
decay and disintegration,' he
explains, is based on scientific
knowledge and techniques. He
records everything done to a
painting, and dispels the aura
of mystery with which mem
bers of his profession once
surrounded their work.
Mr.. Quandt, like a doctor

Quandt are photographed.
While photography, including
mira red, plays a part in
restoration operations, the in
itial picture serves as a record
of the exact appearance of a
painting before Mr.. Quandt
begins work, and is a check,
if any treatment tends to
change the picture in any way.
Paintings are cleaned with
various solvents, depending on
the artists original materials.
Ultra violet rays, which make
the surface of a painting
fluoreSce in certain known
patterns, help Mr., Quandt to
determine the extent of earlier
reStorationS, especially in old
paintings, and make it easier
to decide what corrections are
needed. Where original paint
is missing, he compensates for
Just that much lost. but he
does not overpaint.
If canvas is coming loose
from a secondary support, he
may line or refine the paint
ing. Often, an old painting
has been through the process
before. Paint, perhaps in flax
ing condition, must be kept
in place. To assure this, paper
is firmly attached to the paint
surface before the old lining
is removed, and kept on while
the secondary support is af-
fixed.
While demonstrating how
this is done with a wax-reSin
adhesive. Mr.. Quandt looked
up and smiled. Il couldn't
paint a picture if I tried. I'm
just a handmaiden to art"

u. 5. Foreign Policy
Lauded By Nixon
In Political Talk

Vice President Nixon told a
Republican audience in MilWau-
kee last night that Americas
foreign policy "of strength and
firmness is the only one which
can lead to the great objective
of this administration and OF
the American people - peace
without surrender"
Mr.. Nixon's speech, delivered

Churchill and Foreign Minister
Anthony Eden are in Washing

Eisenhower and Secretary of
State Dulles, was regarded as an
indirect answer to a speech Mr..
Eden delivered in the House of
Commons just before coming to
this country.
In that speech. Mr.. Eden adj
vocated Locarno-like non-aggreS-
tsion pacts with Soviet Russia and
Red China-the kind of treaties
Americans have fought shy of in
the past because they have no
faith that the Communists will
live up to any agreement.
Praises Dulles Policies.
The Vice President praised the
Eisenhower-Dulles policies in Eu-
rope and in Asia.
Presumably he was speaking
with the approval of President
Eisenhower when he said:
Communism is a world threat
and it is just as important to
stop it in Asia, South America
and the United States as in
Europe.
Communist directed and con-
trolled revolutions constitute i'm
perialiStic aggression and a

One Of the most frustrating
things a doctor ever faces is a
large. fat patient who feels it's
up to the medical profession to
rid him of excess baggage.
Whereas in most illnesses the
doctor is armed with various
drugs, established and time
worn treatments or surgical
techniques, in treating obesity
he knows success is usually up
to the patient. So far, nobody
has bottled will power.
An audience, surprisingly thin.
yet not without portly represent
atives, heard doctors of the
Alexandria Medical Society ex-
press the "up-to-the- patient"
theme last night. The occasion
was the fourth in series of
health forums designed to help
the public understand some of
the things the human body picks
up from time to time as well as
conditions it lapses into. Last
nights subject was "Over-
weight"
DR.. Thomas F. McGough.
Alexandria health officer and
member of the panel. told the
audience to check your eating
habits now." He added people
should be on guard against get
thin-quick artists"
All the doctors were especially
tough on over-eating. They said
over-eating is primarily q habit,
brought on often by nervous ten
sion. Often, the doctors said,
people fldgety over losing their
sense Of security turn to massive
heaps Of hog jowls and hominy
grits in an effort to regain that
security.
People who eat too much prob
ably have been around people
who eat too much too much, the
doctors suggested. They're like
the big-time athlete who contin-
ues his training table habits long
after he's left the fields of
friendly strife and hauls his
fat frame around with obvious
effort.
DR.. T. L. Lucas said a persons
healthy weight should be what it
was when the individual was 20
to rs years old. The average
male diet contains about 2,400
calories, while women can live
comfortably and attractively on
1900 calories.
Speaking of being attractive,
DR.. McGough pointed out over
weight can get to be an eco
nomic problem.
"You men and women know" :"
DR.. McGough said, that suit
and dress sizes are based upon
a recognized normal weight
variance for a particular height.
The person in the hard-to-f1t
category must pay more for his
or her clothes"
Despite the remarkable things
that can be done in dressing fat
persons, one of the doctors
painted a picture hard to erase
with form-fit garments.
Picture yourself at your pres
ent age weighing 20 per cent
more than is normal for you"
