Union Leaders
Are Reclaimed
From Oblivion
MR.. LINCOLN'S ADMIRALS.

by NAaA C1ACC Gs M0NaA OAACy :
(Funk q Wagnalls; So
A brick thrown on almost
any crowded streetcar will
usually fell at least one lay
man who considers himself an
expert on tie American Civil
War.
But ask your battered expert
to name five admirals who
fought for the Union and the
odds are that. at best. he can
come up with only Farragut
and Porter. The same man
can give you detailed accounts
of the campaigns Of Lee,
Stuart, Jackson, Johnston,
Grant, Mcclellan, Forrest, the
Hills, any number Of soldiers
on either side Of the fence.
Mr.. Macartney's Mr.. Lin
coins Admirals" seeks to
remedy that situation.
Mr.. Mccartney, no stranger
to devotees Of Civil War His
tory, portrays the naval war
through the battle experiences
Of nine Union officers.
He selects the five adj
miralS-Farragut. Foote. Du
Pont, Dahlgren and Porter
and to them adds four lower
ranking officers of reputation
to tell his story.
This method, of course,
leaves Mr.. Mccartney open for
criticism for emitting certain
officers who might seem to
have earned themselves a
niche in his story. Where, for
instance. are Rogers. Conroy,
or Percival Drayton?
But what he has not done,
it would seem, is not so mn
portant as what Mr.. Mccartney
has done.
And that is, he has revived
the memories Of the men who
led the 670-ship Union armada
which, through its blockade
Of the Southern harbors, con-
tributed so immeasurably to
the ultimate triumph of Union
arms. e

Of the Republican Party down

the history Of the party as a

their naive belief, at first, that
Congress rather than the
President is a maker of policy.

A different" art exhibition
is open to the public in the
fifth floor gallery Of the De-
partment of Health, Educa-
ton, and Welfare, north
building, Third street and In
dependence avenue, S.W. To
the casual glance. it does not
look different from the aver
age group show by amateur
artists. or in some instances
one could mention, from pro-
fessionals.
But these paintings at the
D.H.E.W. (Ofice Of Voca-
tional Rehabilitation are diff
ferent because they were done
by severely handicapped
people, and the Departments
objective in bringing the show
to Washington, is to demon
strate another field in which
the human spirit triumphs
over seemingly insuperable
difficulties. Instead of each
works title along with the
artists name and address,
there is a notation Of his dis
ability.
The crux Of this exhibition,
then, is it's revelation (once
AGAIN. of arts recreational,
restorative values. w. Oliver
Kincannon, Chief of the Divi-
sion of Publications and Re-
ports, said:
Our belief is that every
effort we can make to demon
strate the great variety and
high order of completeness
among the handicapped is a
step in the direction Of remov-
ing age-old prejudices and an
opening wedge to greater con-
sideration of the handicapped
for employment"
Solely on Merit
Assessing the achievements
of these artists, from this
standpoint, is a socio-economic
rather than esthetic matter.
On the other hand, these %
paintings are the cream
SKINNED of 1000 entries from
all over the United States, in
a national art contest for the

November and ended May /.
1t was sponsored by the Once

Committee on Employment Of
the Physically Handicapped,
the Veterans Administration
and the Morris MorgenStern
Foundation, New York City.
Cash prizes of more than So

STERN were offered, and awards
were made solely upon merit,
by a jury of five prominent

Considered wholly apart
from the energy, perseverance

Gather and others once de-
scribed so effectively. Mrs.
Siebel's first novel is called:
THE NARROW COVERING
(Harcourt, Brace; $500.
1t is a simply told, deeply
feel family story. Beyond that
it is a story of the land. of
the all-important wheat crop
in Western Kansas, the pros
perity that follows a good crop
and fair prices, the troubles
that envelop the whole COM
munity when drought and dust
storms destroy the staple.
Mrs. Siebel grew up in the
region, where her family lived
since the town of Colby was
founded in 1886.
She deserves particular
credit for the quiet. concise
way she has written of the
Beechers across a span Of 80
years. They are none the less
clear and lose no sympathy
because, unlike a lot of other
earnest noveliStS, she has not
drenched them with detail and
padded out their uneventful
lives to 400 or 500 pages.
In 214 short pages Mrs. Sic
bel has told everything you
need to know Of this family.
When Mr.. Beecher died it
was the spring of 1914, and
Ella was is. Her mother sold
the farm, and they moved to
the small town nearby. The
only children surviving and at
home were Ella and her small
sister. Their brother Joe had
recently married and bought q
farm Of his own.
A FOrbidding Woman
Elias mother was a stern
woman, a religious fanatic who
disapproved of all the pleasures
Of this world and had never
been tempted with many Of
them. The smaller girl. Alice.
grew up more independent. but
Ella, despite her quarrels with
her mother. had too much of
Mrs. Beecher's flagellant nature
ever to accept fully life as it is.
One summer Ella went to
help out at her brothers farm
during the harvest season, be-
cause Joe's wife was down with
tuberculosis and there were two
young children. When Joe's
wife died, Joe delivered the
little boys to his mothers house
in the town, then returned to
the farm and quietly shot him
self. Mrs. Beecher and her
daughter had, perforce, to
bring up the boys.
The years passed and Ella
married the young man who
had acquired the food store.
Years Of drought and dust
storms came, and no one had
money. bat somehow they man
aged. Ella had a daughter. De-
spite the stringencies brought
on by the weather and crop
failures, Elias husband was
resourceful, they never suf-
fered actual privation, and
she should have been happy
with her family and a wide
circle of friends in the town.
But there was too much of her
mother in her, and she could
never even feel quite comfort
able at card parties and dances
and picnics.
Struggle to Survive
The ending is perhaps I'M
necessarily grim, but not IL
logical.
It's q poignant story the
author tells and yet one which
Is close to life and conveys
within its small frame a typ
ical glimpse of the heart
breaking effort of farm people
to win over odds that often
seem overwhelming.
Mrs. Siebel, who now lives in
Chicago. is a young writer with
Q refreshinely different APP
proach. And it's worth noting
that she has been able to pre-
sent a naturalistic picture with

situations or vulgar language.

pendence it purports to be,
even for those whom it is sup
posed to cover. 1t is, he con-
tends, so hedged about by ex-
emptions and escape clauses
that many persons who have
been contributing to it for 20
years or more will receive
nothing when they reach the
statutory age.
1t started out, he comedies,
to be q sort Of insurance when
the law was first passed dur
ing the early years of the New
Deal. In the later 193Os Con-
gress virtually rewrote the
law.
Social security no longer,
by any feat of the magma
ton, can be considered in
surance. 1t is simply a tax,
deducted from the pay Of most
workers and from the profits
of most employers.
At the first Of his book Mr..
Stokes cites many case his
tories, typical, taken from the
records. with only the names
disguised.
Dependents Shut Out
One man had been paying
into the fund for 20 years. He
remarked, at 81, and died in
less than a year. His widow
got nothing-his account re-
verted to the Government
because she had been not
married to him long enough to
be entitled to q pension.
A widow who had made q
nice living from a boarding
house for years had two TRACE
dies within a week. Her son
died. Her house burned down.
She was refused her sons So
cial security because, it was
pointed out, she was not de-
pendent on him at the time he
died.
One Of the main inequitieS,
as the author sees it, is the
provision that no one receiv-
ing payments can earn more
than a nominal sum in private
enterprise.
Much more vital than the
injustices Of the present law,
Mr.. Stokes adds, is the future
Of the fund. While the tax is
to be increased to 8 per cent
within q few years, no one can
say, not the sharpest expert,
whether the Government will
be able to pay of all legitimate
claimants in the decades ahead,
or whether the vast reserve
fund will be wiped out. It's a
gamble.
AS a constructive suggestion,
Mr.. Stokes urges that the
whole intricate system be re-
placed by a plan of issuing
bonds to taxpayers. At IS a
beneficiary could elect to cash
his bonds or receive a monthly
income from them the rest of
his life. There would be no
exemptions or restrictions, and
he'd be allowed to earn any
amount on the outside he
could.
Mr.. Stokes book deserves a
thoughtful reading by all in
terested in what is to become
of them in their later years.
And who isn't interested?
