Chinese Envoy and Wife Arrive;
Eqyptidn Artist Extols u. S. Freedom
BY SELMA ROOSEVELT

the State Departments Edu-
cational Exchange Program.
Most famous as a portraitist,
Mr.. Taher however will only
show watercolor landscapes
this time. for the portraits Gin
oils were too heavy and large
to bring by plane.
The Egyptian artist says he
was surprised to see the
great appreciation of art in
America.
you have so many visitors
to your museums. I had al
ways thought of America as
a materialistic nation. But
now I see that you have a
good balance. When Ameri-
cans are at work, they are very
materialistic; but they are so
spiritual in their leisure time
and they have such harmony
in their lives"
Mr.. Taher said he thought
the reason for this harmony
was the freedom and respect
for individuals in America and
the remarkably we'll organized
life Americans lead.
Egyptian art, said Mr., Taher,
is in a period of renaissance.
1--WE are attempting to get
the most from our own heri-
tage-the art of Pharoahs, of
Graeco-Roman times, Islamic
art and various European in
fluenceS. From this we want
to benefit, yet create some
thing new"
Mr.. Taher says the museum
he directs is not, as the name
might suggest to Americans, a
repository for abstract and
nonobjective art. This is
called contemporary art in
Egypt.
Modern art. on the other
hand, means everything from
the Italian Renaissance on.
He feels that Communist
philosophy has had no effect
on Egyptian artists.
Art must grow in a free
atmosphere. We know that
it will never grow under COM
munism. 1t will die. Every
artist must strive for freedom
of expression"
The artist is married to a
sculptor and has a 10-year-old
son who is already painting.

AS the general rule Libyans
don't entertain much-maybe
three or four times a year.
Maybe that's the secret of yes
terday's party.
When we went in, the en-
bassy looked fit for a party.
A bowling doorman. bright
yellow flowers in the dark
paneled rooms. cigarettes on
all the tables and all kinds
of drinks coming at you from
every direction.
The party had a slow be-
ginning-it was almost shy.
The Libyans. who are mostly
Moslems. don't smoke or
drink. But slowly people got
into fascinating conversations
and a sort of general warmth
grew. There was a former
Egyptian philosophy professor
to talk 70, an exiled Indian
importer-exporter. the am
bassador, who IN an unhurried
fashion had time for every
one. and a former Air Force
Base commander in Tripoli.
Good Food
If good food helps, it GER
tainlv was in abundance. In
the far room there were two
stuffed roast lambs, mush-
room stew, okra stew, turkey,
hamos (mashed chick peas
with sesame dressing), GU
cumbers in yogurt and deli
cious pastries. Champagne
was served during the buffet
dinner and wonderful coffee
afterwards.
The party's reason was for
the ambassador to say good
by. He is leaving his post here
to become Libya's ambassador
TO Egypt and will sail next
Friday. The new ambassador
to this country has not been
named but it is expected that
the Northern African country's
present envoy to Turkey, Ali
Gerbi. will be named to this
post.
For the people who have
wondered about Washington's
new mosque and have various
questions about it-for in
stance, are outsiders allowed
in for services, etc. DR.. Mo-
halned Bisar, the director of
the Islamic Center. who has an
apartment in the new building,
said that the Friday noon
services are open to the pub

one is welcome. Painters are

Getting love is there in all its

your aid. You are an object OF
Gods love. There is no condemna-
