Million More Reading
An obvious reason is that
there are many more millions
Of US alive than ever before,
and we have the time. the
ability and the money to buy
and read books. Another OBJ
vious reason Is the development
of methods Of mass production
and distribution in the book
industry which has slashed
costs and vastly increased the
availability Of books in the
most convenient and most
frequented spots in every town
and city.
Not so obvious" says Mr..
Shimkin. "is the fact that the
tensions Of this era have
created a demand for escape
and release which people find
in books" Not so obvious is the
growing yearning for infor-
nation which explains the
soaring sales of how-to-do
books and Of books telling us
why we act as we do. Not so
obvious Is the increasing re-
spect for the book as a source
OF information free from in
fiuence by a sponsor or ad-
vertiser."
Again and again in this GEN.
fury industries in the cultural
sphere have been supposedly
heading for extinction. The
photograph was to kill the
piano, the radio was to kill the
photograph, TV was to kill
radio-and books were destined
to die at each milestone.
Yet. each Of these industries
is now thriving as never be-
fore and swinging toward new
heights.

GOya Influence
Acknowledged as one OF the
great contemporary American
painters, Mr.. Hurd said that
the artists he admired most
were Goya. Velasquez and Ell
Greco-all from the Spanish
school, and since he is pri-
marily a landscape artist,
John Constable Of the British
school, and Breughel OF the
Dutch school.
A guest asked him how he
felt about Ell Greco's "Tole-
do" because she said she felt
that the cloud effects in some
of his paintings Of the great
Southwest showed the influ-
ence of Ell Greco. you are
right, I probably have felt
this influence very much"
said the artist.
And, there is a face
straight from Goya," said Mr..
Hurd, looking toward Mrs.
Chavez.
Recalling his two years at
West Point-"Whistler and
Edgar Allan Poe went there,
too, you know"-Mr. Hurd
said he first felt the need to
paint at the Military Insti-
tute. One of his earliest paint
ings is owned now by the
deputy director of CHA, Gen.
Charles P. Cabell, who was at
West Point at the same time.
Mr.. Hurd, who is married
to Henriette Wyeth, a famous
portrait artist and the daugh-
ter of an equally famous ar
fist, has three children. A
daughter is married and liv-
ing in Madrid, a son is at
