Classical Modern

The Phillips Gallery is Of
fering a two-part show for
February. It has hung its eX-
hibition unit of eight paint
ings by Maurice Sterne in
printroom /, while the adjoin-
ing room and stairway are
given over to new acquisitions.
Maurice Sterne is a great
individual whose painting was
best summed up dt seems to
mel by Homer Saint Gaudens,
who called him some years ago
"a painter with a classical
sense of form blended into a
modernistic viewpoint" Now
in his 77th year, Sterne was
born in Russia, but came to
New York at the age of IL.
Attending the National Acad-
emy, he won an award in 1904
which enabled him to travel.
He developed such a taste for
seeing the world, and drawing
inspiration from distant lands,
that he continued to roam for
many years, settling for pc
riods in different places.
The Phillips Gallery's Sterne
collection, though small, rep
resents some of the high points
in the artists wanderings. The
earliest painting on view is
"Benares," done in 1912, when
Sterne was in India. He subse-
quently spent several years on
the island Of Bali, of which
sojourn the gallery owns his
Temple Feast"
ItoIy to New England
In the early 1920s, Sterne
lived in an old castle in Anti
coli Corrado, near Rome. Here
he painted the haunting Aft
ernoon at Anticoli" and sew
eral other Italian subjects, as
well as the luscious fruit, "Still
Life" one of the collections
most colorful works.

the so-called "Americanizers"
were Archbishop Michael A.

Bishop Keene's actions under
these circumstances, as re-

Washington readers will be

Well, "the Communists think
segregation is wrong, and so
do the liberals. Are not the
liberals just following the
Communist line?"
Children of God
Long ago, Jesus Christ
worked for peace. Does that
make Him now a Communist?
He also worked for brother
hood and the acceptance of all
people as children of God.
Does this now place Him as
the First Communist"

feel about de-segregation, you
read Miss Smiths book. 1t will
give you at least practical an

by a penetrating, logical mind.

Smith adds: 1--WE human ne-

She ends her book with this
thought: isolated perma-
nently from his community, a
human being can never de-
velop fully and happily, nor
can the community which iso-
lates him. Each needs the
other"
Portions of Mrs. Smiths
book are in queStion-and-
answer form. This is one ques-
ton: what right has the Gov
ernment to invade our homes
and tell us we must socialize
with each other?" Her reply:
Our Government has no.
right to invade our homes or
meddle in our personal friend
ships. This is one reason for
respecting our Constitution,
our Bill Of Rights and our Su-
preme Court, which are three
bulwarks against such invasion.
Every American has two kinds
of rights: public and private.
1t is more often the citizens
than the Government that be-
comes confused about these
rights. When the Supreme
Court ruled legal segregation
unconstitutional, 1t was pro-
tecting the public rights of a
minority against a majority.

taken those rights away. 1t
was in no way infringing on

One need not, as Miss Smith
implies, approve all the linger-
