JAPAN, RUSSIA SIGN TREATY ENDING WAR
By ROY EssoYAN

MOSCOW, R-Japan and the Soviet Union today signed a dec laration ending the 11-year state of war between them.
 Japanese Premier Ichiro Hato- yama and Soviet Premier Nicolai Bulganin signed the end of war declaration and a trade protocol after more than 16 months of off and on negotiations.
 Practically the entire presidium of the Soviet government and its ruling Communist Party were ranged behind them in the klieg- lit conference room of the grand Kremlin Palace as they attached their signatures.
 The declaration ending the state of war deferred all discussions on Japan's territorial claims to a lat CT date. Japan failed to win the immediate return of Soviet-occu- pied Habomais and Shikotan Is- lands north of Japan. The Soviet agreed to return the islands only after the conclusion of formal peace treaty.
 The trade protocol granted most-favored nation treatment by both sides. Under that formula, each nation agrees to give the other treatment as good as it gives any other nation in a trade deal.
 Announcing the conclusion of talks, Japanese officials said they had reached complete agree ment" with the Soviet govern ment. Russia refused to sign the San Francisco Peace Treaty in 1851.
 Formal Japanese-Soviet peace treaty talks are to be held later, but no date has been fixed.

But before the show is over. art
experts may be able TO give q

Originators Of Exhibit

and Mrs. Jay Walz, well-known
Alexandria writer Of mystery

directors have not only been
willing to make important
loans, but they have also made
important suggestions as have
directors Of all the historic
homes around Alexandria and
in fact in Virginia.
In less than four months
after the idea was born, by
patient and relentless research
very like detective work, nearly
200 paintings. miniatures, en-
cravings, silhouettes, drawings
and sculpture of the men and
women Of old Alexandria have
been tracked down. And the
search is still on. There will
also be paintings and engrav-
ings Of the town itself and of
the ships that were built and
sailed from that busting port.

will ind ranged on the walls
Of Gadsby's the Washingtons,
Masons. Lees, Fitzhughs, Gus
tises. msays, Carlyles,
Hooffs, Herberts, Burkes and

Some Of the likenesses will
be familiar from our history
books. Others are of more To-
cal fame. Many were painted
by the most famous artists of
that century-plus who found
Alexandria a profitable place
to set up an easel. Others are
quaint primitives whose charm
affects equally the owner of a
Georgian house or Of the most

Four cherished family por-
traits which hung On the walls
at Mount Vernon - long a.
that historic house remained IN
the washington family are be-
ing loaned to the Alexandria
Association for its special ex-
hibition Of portraits Of early
Alexandrians. Entitled Our
Town-1749-1s65," the exhibit
will be a visual record Of 10
cal history. It viii open at
Gadsby's Tavern next April IL
for a month.
This will be the first time
these four paintings Of MEM
Sbers of the washington family
have ever been exhibited. They
belong TO Miss Anne and Miss
Patty washington. great
granddaughter Of John A.
washington. jr.. the last Of the
family to own Mount Vernon.
Besides being Of great histori-
cal and sentimental value. they
have enormous interest for art
students and collectors.
The most outstanding is .
life-size family group painted
in 1886 by John Gadsby Chap
man, who was himself born in
Alexandra, the grandson Of
the owner Of the famed tavern
where the exhibition will be
hung. In this magnificent work.
the widow Of John Augustine
Washington is shown with her
three children and an or
phaned nephew whom she
raised. Beside Mrs. Washington
stands Anna Maria, her daugh-
ter, holding q lutte. Over his
mothers shoulder leans Rich
ard Blackburn Washington.
The tall boy Is John Augustine,
jr., heir to Mount Vernon who
years later sold it to the Mount
Vernon Ladies Association for
q national shrine. The small
boy facing his aunt is Noblett
Herbert.
Joined Gold Rush
More than q decade after
this painting was done, Noblett
left for California and the
Gold Rush. For time he
wrote faithfully to his devoted
aunt. Then suddenly there
was silence. Apparently the
Gold Rush had claimed an
other victim for the Washing
tons never could learn any
thing about him, despite deter
mined inquiries. This Is but
one OF the many human inter-
est stories connected with the
paintings to be shown at
Gadsby's.
Another portrait Of special
interest to collectors is that Of
Mrs. John A. Washington's
sister, Mrs. David Crawford, by
Cephas Thompson. Thompson
is Just now beginning tc come
into his own, ranking some
where near Gilbert Stuart and
