Afterward, the Commissioner
said he was satisfied that the
insurance chief was doing "a
very creditable job" Mr.. Kar-
rick added that he had no plans
to pursue the matter further.

Toy War

Some of the city's toy buyers
are back from the New York
show with word that japanese
skill in copying American
originals is posing a serious
threat to the industry.
1T was so bad" one said.
American manufacturers
with a new idea we're taking
clients into phone booths to
keep spies from copying it."
Philip j. Corr, who handles
models and model-building
materials rather than toys,
was attracted by a japanese
built, four-engined plane that
performed like the real Mccoy.
Each engine warmed up in
turn, he said, and when all
four propellers were whirling
the plane TAXED around, re-
turned to the starting point,
and the motors stopped.
AS for models, Corr says
railroading still has an edge
on plane-building and auto
racing cars, with soldiers still
commanding much attention.
He blames the increasing lack
of space for the decline of
model plane flying and auto
racing. Apartments and stores
are squeezing them out, while
railroad enthusiasts still have
their Easements and attics.
AS for soldiers, Civil War
models are the most popular
at the moment and the list OF
collectors, Corr said, includes
Bing Crosby and Doug Fair
banks, jr. Small boys with
small allowances can still in
dulge their hobby with flats"
or thin, implanted soldiers,
which they themselves can
dress up. But well-heeled COL
lectors can spend as much as
5000 per man for handmade
warriors, with movable parts,

Washington Sculptor
Finds Art Can Pay

Some items displayed in the
current art show at the Ma
tional Museum, particularly
the abstract paintings, will
confound amateur viewers, but
others, like Robert Kuhn'S
wild horse of welded steel, will
delight them. Kuhn, we were
told by Katherine B. Hobbs,
has been delighting art fan
ciers and plain, everyday citi-
zenS alike for some time now.
Miss Hobbs is president of
the Washington Sculptors
Group, which shares the ex-
hibition with painters under
the banner of the Artists
Guild of Washington. Kuhn's
work is so good, she told us,
he supports a wife and four
children by it, while most
Washington artists teach or
hold Government positions to
help the family exchequer.
Kuhn verified this. In fact,
he said, a gentleman touring
the country in search of ma
terial for a book on sculptors
said the artist was one of only
two the writer had discovered
in this favorable category.
Made him feel pretty good,
Kuhn admitted, although he'd
like to see more artists selling
more of their work,
II work toward the type of
things people can use in their
homes" he said, trying to ex-
plain his success.
He uses a variety of ideas
and disdains the use of mod
els. Last year, for example, he
turned out 119 pieces of work
on 100 different subjects. At
the moment he has a commits
sion for a set of chessmen, but
the project is being delayed
until the buyer decides
whether he wants wood or
steel. Kuhn works in both me-
diums but prefers steel.
Kuhn has been in Washing
ton 312 years and is fond of
our city. He came here from
Mexico, after studying at the
Chicago Art Institute.
