Britain, ireland Settle
Row Over Art Bequest

LONDON, Nov. IL (AP).-
Prime Minister Macmillan
announced today settlement Of
a dispute over a 81 million art
collection which for more than
40 years has been one Of the
reasons why the Irish hate the
British.
The collection consists Of SO
paintings. most by French i'm
pressionists, left by Sir Hugh
Lane. a rich Irishman who died
in the sinking Of the liner Lusi-
tsnia in 1915. Although
claimed by Ireland. the paint
ings have remained in Britain
for four decades.
Britain Retains Title
Mr.. Macmillan told the House
of Commons 1t has been agreed
that the collection will be d.
vided into two parts, one to be
placed on exhibition in Dublin
the other in London. Every
five years the two portions will
be exchanged.
The agreement was signed
Evening star., 1959-11-12

by the state-supported Tate
National Gallery in London
and the Irish commissioners of
public works. 1t will run for 20
years. Britain meanwhile re-
tanning title to the paintings.
THE government" Mr.. Mac
milan said, Welcome these
arrangements and consider +
that for the duration of the
agreement they offer a solu-
tion of a question which has
been the subject of controversy
for a long time"
The agree EN- mt officially
values the paintings at E847,-
500 t$2,373.00O), but art ex-
perts agreed they might bring
even more on the open market
The official valuation placed q

Repair Ship Sails
To Splice Break
In Atlantic Cable

SYDNEY, Nova Scotia, Nov.
IL (AP).-A repair shop heads
today for a spot 200 miles off
Newfoundland where a trans
Atlantic cable was damaged
Monday, knocking out So tele-
phone circuits from France and
Germany.
Five cable breaks occurred
in the same area last February,
prompting an on-board investi-
CATION of a Russian trawler
found in the vicinity. 1t was
believed, although never proved,
that the trawler's deep-riding
plowS might have cut the cable
accidentally.
Two United States Navy pa
troll planes began scouting the
area yesterday for any ships
that might have caused the
latest break Poor visibility
forced them back to their base
at Argentia, Newfoundland.
A spokesman for the Ameri-
can Telephone g. Telegraph
Co. said that until repair crews
examined the cable, there was
no way of telling whether it was
! cut by a ship or damaged by
fsome natural cause.

ship Of the collection came
about because Sir Hi.'', three
months before his death, wrote
a codicil to his will. The origi-
nal will bequeathed the paint
ings to the Tate Gallery. The
codicil, which was never wit
messed. revoked that bequest
and left the collection to the
city of Dublin. British courts
held the codicil invalid.
Sir Hugh never made public
the reason he drafted the
codicil, but insiders said he did
it because the gallery had
snubbed some lesser French
impressionist works which he
wanted to add TO the collection,
Sacrifice Seen
A spokesman said the Tate
Gallery is making a great sac
rifice in agreeing to let part OF
the collection out of its hands
for five-year periods because
such works are now almost i'm
possible to come by.
The agreement provides that
upon its expiration in 1879 il
will be up to Ireland and the
Tate Gallery to decide whether
they want to make a new agree

existence Of definite barriers to
his employment once he be-
comes unemployed"
In its report to the President,
released this morning. the
council also called for a wide
study of compulsory retirement,
saying that Retirement prac-
tices which force the separa-
ton Of employees at an arbi-
trary age level ignore the fact
that different individuals of the
same age have different capac-
tiles and desires"
The report noted that the
possibility of flexible retirement
programs should be looked into
and examined. Some of the
problems to be looked at in
clude the waste of manpower,
the attitudes of workers them
selves on retention of older
workers, the administrative
difficulties involved and the
effect Of the eligibility age in
the social security system" the
council said.
Cites csc Plan
The council observed that
the Civil Service Commission
is currently considering a pro-
posal for gradual retirement"
whereby employees could retire
voluntarily anc be re-employed
by the Federal Government on
a part-time basis with a better
deal on combining pension in
come and earnings.
At present the retired Fed
eral employe who goes back to
work for the Government sees
his salary reduced by the
amount of his pension.
Ask Voluntary Insurance
The report said that addi-
tional fact-f1nding is needed
"on specific controversial sub
jects such as the effect of hir-
ing older workers on pension
costs Frequently cited as a
reason for not hiring such
workers. the effect Of auto
