Disappointed in Art Exhibit

Do artists no longer paint pictures
that have any relationship to the world
outside their own imaginationS? It has
been increasingly difficult for me to
appreciate paintings in current exhibit
tions, and it seems to me the Biennial
Exhibition, now offered to a confused
public at the Corcoran Gallery of Art,
is the worst of lot of bad shows. This
is no criticism of the gallery itself,
which is a venerable and respected in
stitution. My complaint is against a
trend which seems fast becoming cult.
have no objection to an artists lex
pressing himself" or to distractions, per
Sc. Many are beautiful in color and de-
sign. do believe very strongly, and ap-
parently in opposition to the jurors for
the Biennial Exhibition, that there is
such a thing as good representational
picture, and such thing as bad abb
stract.
In all fairness, must admit that
there are several pictures in the bien-
NAL which could be termed realistic, or
tending toward something comprehen-
sible to the spectator, but these are
rather weak. 1t seems to indicate (if
one is to assume these are the best of
their type in the Nation) that art STU
dents are being given very little train
ing in objective drawing and painting,
or if they are able to execute realistic
pictures they must disguise the fact to
large extent in order to have their
work exhibited.
We have a daughter who has, I be-
lieve. some ability in drawing, and we
are interested in giving her an oppor-
tunity to develop her talents. We have
been considering sending her to an art
school. preferably Corcoran However,
if the biennial represents the best train
ing and talent in the Nation and is in
dicative of what art is supposed to be,
there seems little need to give her train
ing. Her finger paintings, done several
years ago, contain the same qualities of
vivid color. spontaneity, pleasing pat
tern and "untrammelled exuberance"
which I'm told are the chief virtues of
the paintings now on display at the
Corcoran. I'd like to think that our
daughter could be trained to make a
pleasing design comprised of recognize
able objects as well as one made up of
colorful but formleSs splashes of paint.
1t seems to me she should be given an
opportunity to make choice. And it
also seems to me that the public ought
to be offered the opportunity to look at
good contemporary paintings done in
objective as well as abstract style.

WILLIAM BUTLER YEATS. the
w greatest poet of our time, couldn't
spell and his punctuation was chaotic
He even enlisted Ezra Pounds help with
his punctuation, surely the most opti-
mistic literary gesture of all time.
And. to make matters worse. Yeats
handwriting was all but illegible.
These were some of the handicaps
encountered by Allan Wade who edited
The Letters of w. B. Yeats. just pub
hshed by Macmillan Co. The letters
cover so years and almost a thou
sand pages. AS a revelation Of the great
Irish writer, Nobel Prize winner and
Man of Causes, these letters are in
valuable and their publication is real
event.
Yeats, son of j. B. Yeats, famous
Irish artist. studied to be painter, but
soon abandoned it for writing. Until
he died SO years later there poured
from his pen stream of poetry, sto-
ries. dramas, criticisms, essays and pref
aces. Along the way he found time to
take an active part in Irish politics Che
was militant Republican,, to encour-
age all the young writer's who came
his way. to found the Abbey Theater
which made history in the drama, to
engage in publishing enterprises, to
lecture, to found the Irish Academy Of
Letters and-not least-to write thou
sands of letters. Here was a man of
inexhauStible energy.
All these activities brought Yeats
fame and friends, but not fortune. In
deed, until he was awarded the Nobel
Prize lin 1923 when he was SO he
never felt he could afford to own a set
of the Encyclopedia Britannica. Lady
Gregory, the Irish writer with whom
he founded the Abbey Theater, quite
early became his patron. She lent him
small sums of money so he could keep
writing. But, while they we're ac-
claimed, Yeats poems and plays
neither sold widely nor were attended
fully. He was the recipient of small
Crown pension and after the Nobel
Prize (about $30,00O he was independ-
ent for the first time in his life.
There is small chance that Yeats will
ever be known as great letter writer.
His fame rests too securely upon the
poems and plays. But in these letters

The young Yeats was more serious
correspondent than the septuagenarian
Yeats. In his last letters anecdote and
fippancies abound. There is even one
Rabelaisian poem, altered before its
publication later.
Among his last major efforts was
the editing of the oxford Book of
Modern Verse, classic still. But he
continued his original output as well,
writing lyrics, dramas and even making
marginal notationS for criticisms and
poems to come. 1t was one of these
notations, in verse form, that supplied
the words for Yeats tomb after his
death in 1889:

BuIqonin and frances Decision

Now, at long last, after years of fear
filled hesitation and bitter debate, and after
having killed off the European Defense
Community, the French have finally cast
the die in favor of arn1ing free Germany as
a sovereign member of the Atlantic alliance.
And at almost the same time, whether by
coincidence or design. Soviet Premier Bull
ganin has made what seems to be rather
encouraging move in formally declaring
that the Kremlin stakes positive attitude"
toward President EiSenhower's views on the
possibility of holding Big Four conference
at the highest level
The French decision is immensely
heartening. What it signifies is that only
a few other Signatory countrieS-whoSe
early approval is certain-must now COM
plete the ratification process before the
Paris accords become fully effective. And
that means, in turn, that a good beginning
should soon be made on making West Ger
many-politically, economically and mill
tarily-a tremendously valuable equal part
ner, genuinely formidable additional de-
fenSive asset, in the Western European
Union and the North Atlantic Treaty Or
ganiZation. In that sense, certainly, in
terms of both promoting a lasting Franco
German reconciliation and strengthening
non-Soviet EuropeS position in the CONT
mental balance of power, Secretary of State
Dulles has not exaggerated in hailing
Frances final vote in the Council of the Re-
publican emphaticaIly affirmative vote
as "an event of great significance for the
free world
In any case, even though three or four
years time will be required to build up West
Germany's projected armed forces, there
can be no doubt that the French decision
has laid much sounder groundwork than
has existed heretofore for productive nego>
tiationS with the Soviet Union And that
fact probably accounts, at least in part, for
Marshal Bulganin's move-a move suggest
ing that the Kremlin, recognizing the i'm
pressive character of NATO's prospective
new strength, may be willing to talk bust
ness on reasonable and realistic basis.
The Western powers, of course, must be on
guard against the possible pitfalls inherent
in all this. But they have reason, at the
same time, to take note of the marshals
interesting and perhaps significant de-
parture from MoScow's old propaganda line
warning that Big Four conference, on
either high or low levels, would be useless
and impossible if the Paris accords were
ratified.
Far from containing such warning,
Premier Bulganin's statement holds out the
hope that the Kremlin, having failed in it's
long effort to defeat parliamentary approval
of the Paris accords, has bowed to an ac-
complished fact and may now be ready to
talk sense about the matter. Beyond that,
the marshaps words lend some support to
the impression that the Soviet Union may
be less than happy about Red China's SEEM
ing intent to risk big war in Asia by strik-
ing soon against the Matsu and Quemoy
Islands. Maybe, in these circumstances, a
heads-of-government Big Four meeting
could really promote the cause of world
peace.

Crippled ChiIdren's Appeal

This year for the first time the District,
Maryland and Virginia branches of the
Society for Crippled Children are united in
single campaign for funds in support of
their work The goal is $4,000, and the
money will be spent for clinical, therapeutic,
educational and research services to boys
and girls handicapped by cerebral palsy and
other ailments and injuries affecting nerves
and muscles. Last year more than 1900
children were aided in the Metropolitan
Area. Many were trained to walk, to use
their hands and to speak. Some were sup
piled with braces and other orthopedic ap-
planes Still others were sent to camp,
instructed in the organizations nursery
school, given periodic denominations,
counseled and psychologically helped.
trifle more than per cent of the
1855 campaign yield will be contributed to
the laboratory and educational activities
OF the National Society for Crippled Chill
dren and Adults, which furnishes the attrac-
tive Easter Seals distributed from coast to
coast annually at theoretical penny each
to finance the overall program of the CO.
operating societies. Thus Washington and
its environs will assist the scientific en-
deavor to learn more about what cripples
children and coincidentally what preventive
and corrective efforts are likely to be most
worthwhile.
So obviously good cause needs no ar
gument. The Crippled Children's Appeal
speaks for itself. Campaign. headquarters

Schweitzer on Vivisection

SCHWeItZeT OF NNtSGCtIOH
1t should help every member on the
ALLEGATION board charged with the dis
tribution of pound animals to medical
laboratories to know what DR.. Albert
Schweitzer, Nobel Prize winner of 1854,
says on this subject: Those who expert
ment on animals by surgery, drugs or
inoculate them with disease in order to
be able to help mankind by the results
obtained should never quiet their con-
sciences with the conviction that their
cruel actions may in general have
worthy purpose. In every single in
stance they must consider whether it
is necessary to demand of an animal
this sacrifice for men. And they must
take anxious care that the pain be miti-
gated as far as possible. How many
outrages are committed in scientific in
situations through the failure to admin
lister anesthetics-just to save time and
trouble! And how many other outrages
by subjecting animals to torture just to
demonstrate phenomena already known!
We must never become calloused-the
quiet conscience is the invention of the
devil. We are afraid of shocking people
if we let 1t be noticed how much we are
moved by the suffering men bring to
animals. A reverence for life prompts
us to keep each other alert, and to speak
and act dauntlessly together, discharg-
ing the responsibility that we feel"
Since sanity DR.. Schweitzer is now
being eulogized all over the world, dare
we in the Capital of the United States
ignore his kind words?

U. n. May Study
Arab Complaint.
By JAMES E. ROPER

Bloody new fighting in Moroc-
CO increased the possibility today
that the United Nations General
Assembly will act on long stand
ing Arab complaints against
France. possibly with American
consent.
The United States and a ma
jority of U. N. members voted at
last years General Assembly
session to postpone for the time
being" any action on the situa-
tons in Morocco and Tunisia.
The Arabs, however, are pre-
pared to complain anew to the
General Assembly. which con-
venes in New York September 20.
Unless France and Moroccan ma
tionalist leaders ease their dis
pute before then, the General
Assembly may feel obligatd to-
intervene.
u. s. Ducks Issue
The United States has ducked
the Arab-French dispute for
years. The United States, which
bills itself as an anti-Colonial
power, feels in principal that it
should side with some Of the
Arab views. At the same time,
however. the United States does
not want to vote against France,
q fellow member of the North
Atlantic Treaty Organization.
This has led to a stalemate in
the public American position.
Behind the scenes, however.
Americans have worked to get
the French to moderate their
attitude toward the nationalist
demands that come from Mo-
rocco. Ideally, this should come
in direct French Moroccan ne
gotiations such as those now 60
ing on in Aix-les-Bains. France.
But the United States Is de- |
scribed as being willing to sup
port any move that will lead to
q peaceful solution, either in-I
side of outside of u. N.
Under the proper circum-
stances, then, the United
States may go along with U. N.
action on the Moroccan prob
lem. although the United
States still hopes-with some
confidence-that the Aix-leS-
Bains talks will succeed.
Tunisian Tension Eased
The American Governments
hopes have been fulfilled in thel
case of Tunisia, which. like|
Morocco, is a protectorate of
France. When the General
Assembly last year postponed ac-I
ton "for the time being" onl
the Tunisian question, the situ-
alton was tense but French and
Tunisian authorities were nego-I
tiating. The negotiations led tol
q peaceful arrangement under
which Tunisians have more say
in their own affairs.
The Moroccan problem may
be more difficult, now that sol
much blood has been shed.
Washington representatives of
Arab nationalist were reported
comforting on the problem, notI
only among themselves but alsol
with some Asian diplomats.
This could lead to a preli-
minary testing of the esprit de
corps which showed itself among
some Of the "have not" nations
which attended the Asian
African Conference in Banding.
Indonesia, this spring.
The Arab states may appeal to
the United States even before
the U. N. Assembly convenes. The
goal would be to get the United
States to object to Frances use OF
Of American-supplied arms
against the North African Arabs.
