Senator Kerr Wants Exhibit
OF Eisenhower Art on Tour

Dwight D. Eisenhower, the
artist, should take part in
this business of promoting
American good will, says
Democratic Senator Robert
Kerr of Oklahoma to his
constituents this week.
The thought came to him
in connection with the
muchly aired problems that
beset the selection OF Amcri-
can art for the Moscow fair.
Il don't claim to be any
art critic, but I am happy
that some historic American
paintings have been added
to the modern American art
originally sent to Moscow for
the American National Ex-
hibit," said the multi-mil-
lionaire oil and uranium ty-
coon of the Senate.
When Ike recently took a
look at some of the wacky
works designated to repre-
sent America in Moscow, he
definitely was dissatisfied.
. But the lady in charge of
our United States exhibit
tartly observed that Ike
wasn't such a hot painter
himself"
WHATEVER THE PRESI-
DENTS TALENTS, continued
the Senator, you can definite
ly identify the objects he
depicts.
Since the purpose of these
international exhibits is to
promote good will and win
friends for America, Bob
asked-"why not a travelling
exhibit Of an Eisenhower
collection"
Americans f1ocked to the
travelling exhibit of Winston
Churchill paintings, he
pointed out, many that
probably had never before
set foot inside a gallery"

SPEAKING OF MIR.
EISENHOWER, the women
of America are certainly
grateful to him. The female
sex has long been maligned
as the most talkative of the
species, although we have
sat through enough male
after-dinner speec hes to
know this is not true. But
the President clinched our
side of the argument by CIV
ing a dinner for male journ-
aliStS only. The off-the-
record party had more leaks
than a perforated hose.
The strong, silent sex so
resisted the urge to remain
silent that journalists at the
second off-the-record stag
dinner had their lips sealed
in no uncertain order. Jim
Hagerty even told APP Bureau
Chief Bill Beale not to talk
:. Now if there ever was a
Superfluous request, that was
it. How do I know? Because
