P utriotic Art
OF the Fourth,
BY Florence S. Berrymon

The Fourth Of July renews
ones wonder why such great
themes as love Of country and
stirring historical events have
inspired so little great art
throughout the history OF
Western painting. There are
innumerable murals and easel
paintings Of American patri-
otto subjects, but they scarcely
rise above the illustrative level.
Such popular works as 1.-THE
Spirit of '76' and washing
ton Crossing the Delaware" are
among the first to come to
mind when one tries to recall
patriotic paintings, but it Is
impossible to imagine any age
in the future that win con-
slider them great"
One can only hope that
patriotic subjects which have
inspired immortal prose and
poetry and noble drama win
eventually call forth painting
and sculpture that viii lift the
beholder out Of himself, in
tensify his pride In the Ma
tons past. confidence In the,
future and determination to
participate to the extent Of his
ability.

Phone Installations
To Continue Drop,
Rate Witnesses Saw

Charles E. Sener. jr.. Chesa-
peake & Potomac Telephone Co.
controller. today stood by an
earlier forecast that the number
of telephone installations during
1854 will decline by 5000.
Mr.. Sener was the second
company witness subjected to
cross examination today by the
staff of the District Public Utili-
ties Commission. He was pre-
ceded by Arthur Lanigan, as
sistant vice president. At the
close Of the session this after
noon the hearing on the current
petition for a telephone rate in
crease was expected to recess
until Monday.
Mr.. Sener said that he expects
the total number of telephones in
the District to decline to 527,O54
by the end of this year. That
figure would be comparable to
the decline recorded last year
from 1852.
100 Unified Orders.
The witness pointed ou5 there
are now less than 100 untitled
telephone installation orders on
file. Asked how this situation
compared with the installation
picture five years ago, during the
general business recession, Mr..
Sener testified that no drop was
reflected then because the COM
pany was still catching up on
its backlog of untitled orders.
He said that further losses in
the number of Federal Govern
ment telephones are expected
during 1854 owing to the ad-
ministration's economy program.
will Average 70 Cents.
John K. Langum, an economics
consultant of New York, told the
commission yesterday that tele.
phone users here face the possi-
bility OF bigger bills "for some
time to come"
Telephone bills under the COM
pany's present petition would 60
up an average of 70 cents per
telephone. Under questioning
yesterday. Mr.. Langum declared:
II think that rate will have to
continue higher for some time
to come. There has been a lack
OF balance between the consumer
and the investor interest for
years." This has occurred, he
said, because imitation has con-
tinued while the company's rate
of return has remained substan-
TALLY the same.
