Tom Connally's long career
In Congress spanned the tram
sition from this country's in
nocence in foreign affairs to
our involvement all over the
globe. He was In on every
major step.
When he came to the House
of Representatives in 1917. his
friend and fellow-Texan. Jack
Garner. assigned him to the
Foreign Affairs Committee
with a half-apologetic Its a
minor committee" Thirty-ive
years later, when Connally
bowed out of the Senate, he
abdicated its most prestigious
and sought-after post-that Of
chairman Of the Foreign Re-
lations Committee.
In the intervening years,
Tom Connally. who was a Viii
son League of Nations advo-
cate, watched America turn
its back on the world and then
advance so far in the other
direction that the Texas boy
had told Texas yarns to and
slapped the back of most of
the mighty figures in current
world history.
A Long, Full Life
It has been a long, full life,
and his memoirs indicate that
Tom Connally, whose like does
not exist on Capitol Hill today,
enjoyed every minute of it. He
went into politics because he
liked it, stayed there because
he was good at it. He under
stands the harsh realities Of
public service, eand he could al
ways take care of himself. His
was the most-feared tongue in
the Senate. He used sarcasm
like a flame-thrower. And he
could, on a moments notice,
crate with a fire and fluency
that has become almost extinct.
Consider, for instance, this
whitening blast at Senator Nye.
who charged Woodrow Wilson
with lying to the Senate. Said
Senator Connally:
1T the Senator from North
Dakota Is so heroic, this white
knight of peace. why doesn't
he pick on some one alive,
some two-f1sted man? Some
,cf1ecker-playing, beer-drinking
back room of some low house
is the only fit place for the
kind of language he puts into
the record about a dead man,
q great man, a good man who.
when alive, had the courage to
meet his enemies face to face.
When the history of the Re-
public is written, Woodrow
Wilson will tower above the
.puny pygmies who now bark
at his memory as Pixies Peak
towers above the fog of an
Arkansas swamp"

had selected for this commits
sion the portrait painter Luis
Crespo Ordonez. a native Of
Ecuador. now q United States
citizen and a resident Wash
ingtonian.
Mr.. Crespo not only achieves
a close likeness, but also makes
a good picture. fresh and clear
in color. with the subject well
placed. and interest distributed
through the composition.
He has just completed q por-
trait Of DR.. Henry Grattan

Gov. Herter was chairman of
the schools board.
Earlier MIR. Crespo painted
Francisco Castillo Najera, then
Ambassador from Mexico to
the United States, another
speaking likeness: also a por-
trait Of Walter B. Fraser, for
merly United States Senator
from Florida.
These few recent official and
private commissions from a
long list Of portraits by Mr..
,Crespo give an idea of the
scope Of his achievements. His
career as a portrait painter has
been carried on simultaneously
with one in educational fields.
Luis Crespo revealed such
promise as a young artist that
his native city. Cuenca, Ecua-
dor, gave him a scholarship to
study in Quito. Two more
scholarships followed: One
from the government Of Ecua-
dor. to study in Spain. and one
from the Spanish government,
to continue his study of art in
Madrid, a signal honor. Dur
ing the decade 1925 to 1895
Mr.. Crespo received six awards
for his paintings.
Seven Years in Spoh
He spent seven years in
Spain (1931-'38) and was the
subject of a number of articles
in praise of work he showed in
important salons there. One.

lent work, honest personality,

schools, with particular inter-

In 1912, soon after he came
to the United States. he met
DR.. Doyle. then director of the
Washington Int r-American
Training Center, who enlisted
the young painter to teach
Spanish. He subsequently
taught at the University of
Wisconsin, where he met the
American girl who is now Mrs.
Crespo. He is currently on the
faculty Of the Johns Hopkins
School of Advanced Studies.
But he continues to paint
not only portraits, but figures
and still life, and occasionally,
very modern compositions. He
hopes to spend more time with
painting. during the coming
season.
