Chinese Art


A small group Of original
watercolors and prints by the
Chinese-born artist Chen Chi
is on exhibit until June %
at the Veerhoff Galleries, 1912
Connecticut avenue NV, His
work has been shown widely
in the United States during
the 10 years he has been in
this country. and he has won
numerous prizes.
He brings a delicate. oriental
touch to his paintings of sea-
sons and city scenes. with ex-
quisite colors and a great
feeling Of warmth toward ma
ture and man. Much of his
work is done in panel form.
one which allows much scope
for his sympathetic portrayal
of man in the vastness of his
setting. Among the city COM
mentaTies he includes a fight
of birds in Washington Square
and a scene from the Bowery
in New York, both very fine.
The show also includes two
water colors Of the Jefferson
Memorial and Memorial
Bridge which the artist
painted during Washington's
blossom time this spring. The
exhibit is the first extensive
one for Chen Chi here since
l948. when he exhibited at the

'Me-centered'

Me-centered
A favorite of all ages is the
"me-centered" story, in which
the reader identifies with a
main character. This satisfies
his longing for emotional and
recreational experience beyond
the limits of his own horizon.
GO'NE-AWAY LAKE by
Elizabeth Enright (Harcourt;
$50 Is a modern "me-centered"
story Of boy and girl cousins
who discover a hidden lake
during one memorable sum-
mer vacation. The two cousins.
Portia and Julian, are natural
and uninhihited children, in
actions and language.
Portia describes Julian in
these words: He has straight
red hair. not red but orange
really. and about h hundred
thousand freckles, the same
color. He wears those terrible
Keds that he slaps around
when he walks. like a penguin.
You'd never think to look at
him that he's good at sports.
but he can ski and figure skate
and do FIVE kinds Of fancy
dives"
Teeth Braces
Julian is equally frank about
Portia, who suffered from the
nickname Of Porsh. That sum-
mer, the brightest thing about
her face. as she got of the
train. were her teeth-braces.

WASHINGTON, D. C.-Of vital
and far reaching import was the at
tempt during the week in Congress
to investigate national monetary and
credit policies. HR IS had three main
purposes: to see that this country
has enough credit to achieve full en-
ployment and full production; to see
that credit is provided fairly to both
large and small business and agri-
culture, and to the various regions
Of the country; and to see that the
dollar is protected against initiation.
AS a member of the Banking and
Currency Committee of the House
Of Representatives, | had partici-
pated in preparations for this legis-
lation. However, since | had been
granted leave of absence for the pc
riod of my recent spinal operation,
l was not present for the debate,
which ended in 225 to ia vote
against the resolution, some southern
Democrats joining Republicans to
achieve that end. The day before, |
had phoned Carl Albert, Democratic
party whip, and told him if the vote
were to be real close, | would be
willing to come in on a stretcher and
cast my vote, but this did not become
necessary.
Big argument of the measure
hinged on whether the Congress
should investigate, or whether the
Executive Branch should investigate
it's own activities as pertains the
monetary and credit policies of the
Government. AS pointed out by Mr..
Spence, chairman of the House Bank
ing and Currency Committee, which
would have made the inquiry, owe
all know that Notwithstanding the
ordinary methods to prevent infla-
ton that have been used, the purchas-
ing power Of the dollar is steadily

been increased, which makes our
money more difficult to obtain, and
yet our currency continues to dimin-

How can a farm afford
the special services it needs?

Farming g.. like any other industry -.
needs the eficiencies and economies of
specialized departments.
The farm business needs a sales de-
partment and a purchasing department
someone to counsel on insurance
and credit and many more depart
ments to work out important problems.
If it weren't for cooperatives, most
farmers couldn't afford these special
lied services. Purchasing cooperatives
supply materials and products of high
est quality at lowest possible cost. Mar
keting cooperatives help improve the
quality of produce and sell it at the
most favorable prices. Mutual iasur-
ance companies provide protection at
lowest cost. Credit associations lend
money for farm operations.
These cooperatives make farming
more business-like and more profitable.

ish in value. A dollar that is not
stable robs the people. Initiation not
only lessons the purchasing power in
the pockets of the people, but it also
invades their safety-deposit boxes
and takes away the value of their
savings"
There was belief among many of
US in Congress that very large cor
porations are little affected by the
credits restraints available to the
Federal Reserve, whereas agriculture,
small business and public institutions
are badly hurt.
We have not had a comprehensive
study of monetary policy for so
years. Since then, the national debt
has gone up from practically nothing
to more than $275 billion, with an
annual interest charge of STA billion.
Many thoughtful citizens feel that
a study in this area is long overdue
because of complaints of "hard mon
ey'', tight credit, and the prevail
ing inflationary conditions.
The Administration did not well
come the proposals contained in this
resolution. 1t naturally would rather
investigate its own financial affairs
by naming the people whom it wants
to make the investigation. Strangely
enough, the Administration, which
just few weeks ago asked Congress
through the Middle East resolution
to do the Executives job of formulat-
ing foreign policy, now wanted Con-
gress to stop its job of investigating
money and credit, and instead let the |
Executive take over the task of Con-
gress. In other words, one week the
President in effect was saying
What's mine is yours" and the next |
he was saying "What's yours is
mine"
Many of US in Congress believe the
President, because of tight money
policies, should now explain to idle
home builders and to young people
who cannot get home mortgages why
Congress should not take a look at
The monetary policy. Is the President
willing also to explain to the small
businessman, the farmer, the people
in those parts of the country where
banking facilities are sorely needed?
Is he willing to explain to the widows,
The social-security recipients, the pen
5ioners, the teachers and the other
fiXed-income people who are worried
about the inflationary rise of cost
Of living to an all-time high, why Con-
gress should not get to the bottom
IF this inflationary system?

Postal Officials Say Paper Sack Trial Successful

SEATTLE, RASeattle postal officials say a 215-year experi- ment in using paper mail sacks m shipping mail to Alaska has resulted in substantial savings.
 The 15-ounce bags, used only in the Seattle and Alaska stations, are 212 pounds lighter than the old canvas bags. Savings up to 50 cents a bag are realized in air shipments to Alaska points.
 Sigvard S. Hall, superintendent of foreign and Alaska mail, said the experiment has more than compensated for the extra work, slower handling and early prob lems of breakage and tearing.
 Originally designed as throw aways," about three-fourths are re-usable a second time.
 Altho two-thirds to three fourths of Alaska mail shipped by water terminates at large cit ies, all inland service is by air.
 Some 125 destinations are served out of Anchorage alone.
