ChurchWs Art

The opinions expressed by
New York critics regarding
Churchill's paintings reflect
clearly the depths to which
modern educational methods
have caused professional
writer's in the arts to sink.
These busybodies have be-
come so preoccupied rushing
around viewing. the boring
modern paintings that they
don't realize they never were
told to study the technique of
academic painting. 1t has be-
come questionable to work
hard at the tried and true
methods of construction in
painting and the other arts.
One must flip his brush
around and express himself
without effort. you know.
Thereupon he strikes some
crazy style and straightway
hires a press agent to publi-
CHE it all-out, regardless Of
the fact it is as crazy as hens
scratchings.
Churchill's paintings cap
ture the beauty Of the world
as seen through the eyes Of a
cultivated man who has not
let his natural love of sheer
beauty be destroyed by the
cult of ugliness or the prac-
tice Of sterile significant
form. Many of them bring
to mind some beautiful de-
Scriptive ages from
Longfellow or Wordsworth
which will linger long in our
memory after the sophisti-
Gated vaporiZings Of a Cum
mings or an Eliot are gladly
forgotten.
Methinks what this coun-
try needs is not a good five
cent cigar of the cut and
mold of those of the great
WinstonA Churchill but the
ability to aupreciate all
things the way they should
enjoy some of the aspects Of
his paintings that have the
healthy, normal beauty Of
good five-cent picture post
cards.

Man With q Plan

This is my plan to stop the
present depression.
Reduce present United
States income taxes by 331s
per cent on wage earners.
salaried employees and part
nerShips up to $4,000 per
annum.
Ten per cent reduction
on partnerships, individuals
above $4,000 per annum;
10 per cent reduction on
corporations.
This would mean the wage
and salaried employees would
receive Immediately a one
third reduction of withhold
ing taxes over payroll. This
money would be put into
circulation at once.
If this plan is adopted, it
should mean that there
should be no necessity of
further wage increases, and
this, automatically, would
stabilize living costs.
The common people in the
sticks are getting disturbed
about losing their jobs and
paying high taxes while we
are giving away billions to
foreign countries.

PerpIexed

Will someone please ex-
plain why the Government
thinks a tax cut across the
board will help US now. In
the case of those who are
lucky enough to be working,
only by overh auling the
withholding-tax table at
once would there be any
more money put into circu-
lation than there is at
present.
For those of us on fixed
incomes, many of whom do
not come within any tax
brackets. due to extra ex-
emptions and enough item
lied deductions to take us
out of any income tax, we
would still be struggling to
buy food, pay our rent, and
not one extra penny to put
into other forms of purchas-
ing. We could not spend
our way to prosperity" even
if we were stupid enough to
think that was a way out of
this high cost of the bare
essentials of just existing.

The PEOPLES Creatures

that by Article III of our
Constitution "the Supreme
Court is merely a creature Of
Congress" One could SINH
larry argue that by Article II
the President is a creature"
of Congress, because that
article hens in the President
in various ways. just as
Article III hens in the SUI
preme Court.
The fact is. as can be seen
by a reading Of the Federalist,
which gives some Of the ar
guments which induced the
original acceptance of the
Constitution, that none of the
Federal branches of the Gov
eminent are creatures of any
of the others. They are all
creatures of the people which
brought them into being by
the instrument Of the. Con-
stitution.
The main "inferiority" Of
the Supreme Court was indi-
Gated by Alexander Hamilton
in No. 70 of the Federallst:
1T has no influence over
either the sword or the purse;
no direction either of the
strength or of the wealth of
the society; and can take no
active resolution whatever.
1t may truly be said to have
neither force nor will. but
merely judgment"
Hamilton's observation has
been borne out by history. AS
Justice Charles Evans Hughes
said, 1.-THE court has found
its fortress in public opinion"
No constitutional provision or
legal statute is responsible for
the regard and reverence the
American people bestow on
the Supreme Court. In the
last analysis, it is the courts
behavior that is mainly re-
sponsible for this.
In the current controversy
about the problems arising in
the efforts to give all races
full human status, the issue
is not between the Supreme
Court and any of the other
Federal branches. No act of
Congress has been called into
question. There is no issue
between the court and the
President. who intends to
carry out the judgments of
the court fully.
The issue involved concerns
the boundary between the
Federal Government and the
States jurisdiction. There are
some who would like to go
back to the situation which
prevailed under the Articles
of Confederation which our
Constitution supplante d.
while most Americans would
like the continuance of the
''indiSsoluble" Union.

Prods CONGRESS

The hesitancy of Congress
to pass a pay increase for
public servants is becoming
most obnoxious. The Ameri-
can people are not only faced
with a recession at this very
moment but in the very near
future Congress is due to take
its Easter recess. Apparently,
the SO million unemployed
and the Federal pay increase
are relatively unimportant in
spite Of the high cost of living.

Pay TV

We are all for anything
that will improve America,
but we fail to see where pay
TV is any improvement. TV
is a great medium for adver-
Using. It makes for compe-
tition; good healthy compe-
tition is good for our country,
keeps us all on our toes.
Pay-TV advocates make
great promises to the effect
that they will only take one
channel in an area, which /
doubt. in spite Of all the pro-
lection we may get from the
FEC. Be that as 1t may. how
is that going to affect the
remaining free channels? In
all probability they will not
be permitted TO have any
good shows or talent. The
cream Of the crop must 60
for pay-TV. Naturally there
must not be any good free
shows to detract from their
shows.
We buy T'V sets, keep them
in good condition and buy
the products that are adver-
tised on TV. That is enough.
When we want to see a
stage show or movie, we go
to the theater. We do not like
movies on TV.

more Mayor Thomas D'Ales-

Reporters covering the State
race are agreed that Mr..
Mahoney at this point defin-
itely has the edge. To win the
nomination. they feel. that Mr..
D'Alesandro will have to carry
at least four. and probably five,
of the six Baltimore City dis
trictS.
Mr.. D'Alesandro, the only
city man in the race, contends
he will sweep the city and take
its full AZ unit votes. Not only
that. he believes he will sur
prise the prognosticators and
go into Baltimore with more
unit votes from the counties
than any one of his opponents.
MahOney Vote Cited
Mr.. Mahoney. who has piled
up the biggest vote of any
Democrat in Maryland history,
has figures to show that his
average vote in seven counties
and in five of the Baltimore
City districts has been more
than so per cent in all four of
his primary fights.
Mr.. Mahoney. despite oppoSi-
tion from Mayor D'Alesandro,
has always carried four city
districts including the mayors
home district Now he is con-
ceded to be the strongest in
two districts and most report
ers feel he is leading in a third.
The nomination is not deter
mined by popular vote. Each
county and Baltimore City
district has a convention unit
vote totaling the number of its
members in the House of Dele
gates and State Senate. There
are 152 votes
A key factor in the outcome
of the Mahoney-D'A 'AleSandro
fight probably will be the votes
cleaned by James Bruce. All
reporters feel that Mr.. Bruce
is well ahead in at least four
counties with a total vote of
10. If he should slip, most
of these votes are expected to
60 to Mr.. Mahoney.
