Dugon Doing All Right
At End for Redskins

Del Shofner of the Giants
currently No. with "a catches,
has 334 yards, and Buddy Dial
of the Steelers, tied for fifth
with II, has 314 yards. If Du-
gan hadn't missed a couple in
San Francisco, and a couple
more in Philadelphia, he'd at
least be tied for second.
Dugan and Norman Snead
had the longest pass play of
the season, an 80-yard touch
down toss against the Eagles,
until Billy Wade hit John Far
rington for a 98-yarder for the
Bears against Detroit last Sum-
day. But McPeak will settle
for shorter gains if they pave
the way for scores.
Dugan is well ahead of his
pace with the Dallas Cowboys
last year when he caught 20
passes for 461 yards and one
touchdown. He spent two sea-
sons before that in a relief
role with the Forty-Niners.
With them he compiled a
total of Is catches for 1874
yards, playing behind Billy Will
son and r. C. Owens, with
Hugh McElhenny also hauling
in a number of Y. A. Titles
passes.
Faces Busy Day
The 26-year-old University
of Dayton graduate has his
work cut out for him this week,
for with the Redskins back
field in sorry physical condi-
ton the offensive strategy will
be woven around the passing
game. However, Dugan will
have Anderson, Tom Osborne
another former Forty Miner
possibly Steve Junker to
help take the heat off him.
Bob Whitlow, an all-around
man who has been shamefully
overlooked, if not overworked,
since coming to Washington
from Chicago last year, may be
the starting offensive center.
Jim Schrader's back isn't as
good as Trainer George Lentz
hoped, and Whltlow has been
working with Suead all week
on exchanging the ball. Bob
plays guard and tackle, and is
a regular on the punt and kick
off teams. but center is some
thing new for him. Seventeen
pounds lighter than the 252-
pound Schrader, he may find
it a bit bruising, too.
McPeak hopes to have rookie
Fred Hageman back as middle
linebacker this week, which
would enable him to move Rod
to his regular spot
on the right side with Dick
Lasse on the left.

of the four is Eleanor Parke

her beautiful gouaches. Some

BALTIMORE, Md.-Wash-
ington artists show up we'll
in the Maryland Regional
Exhibition on view through
March 10 in the Baltimore
Museum Of Art. OF SO artists
represented, II are from
hereabouts. OF IS prizes
awarded, four went to artists
in Washington and its sub
urbS. Robert F. Gates took
the 5000 Second Artists prize
for his painting, Flying
Dutchman III" Awards Of
$50 each were made to
Lowell B. Nesbitt, Rockville,
for "Apollonian WALL" and
to Merry Ellen Foster, Silver
Spring, for Motion" The
award won by Mrs. Fosters
painting was specified for
showing original work in a
progressive direction.
Washington sculptor Pie
tro Lazzari won q $25 prize
for a work Of technical ex-
cellence," with his bronze
Erected Form"
The Washington group
stands out in the show for
more than statistical rea-
sons. The main drift Of the
exhibition, by design of the
management, is strongly alb
stract expressionist. This
fading fad, to be at all i'm
pressive. requires king size
canvas and king size con-
fidence. Neither is much in
evidence among the regional
avant garde at Baltimore.
What is chiefly in evidence
is a large number Of dull
distractions Of medium size
and medium talent.
Collage HumOr
A surprisingly high per-
centage of collages appears
among the paintings, 10 out
of 81. Again, the genuine
possibilities of pasted paper
and othel materials are
mostly missed. Several are
put together with extreme
sloppiness, presumably as an
invocation to the goddess of
chance, widely considered
the only divinity of abstract
expressionism. The moral is,
how easily chance can turn
to mischance: several COL
lagos look unlikely to last
the year.
Among the collages a

wierd and amusing note is
sounded by May Wilson's
Gladly Dead" The attitude,
mood, comment or what you
will Of the title is symbolized
by an ancient camisole, the
feminine undergarment
made obsolete by the in
Vention Of brassiereS. Had
Mrs. Wilson simply painted
a picture Of this object, with
however much skill, it's a
fair bet the picture would
never have made the show.
Happily. she pasted the gar
ment itself to a piece Of
board, doused the arrange
ment in pale purple and
there she hangs, looking as
though alive.
The most incisive COM
ment on the show as a
whole is made by the
museum. To get from one
gallery to another. you have
to pass a large. luminous,
serene painting by Mark
Rothko. At a glance you see
the power abstract express
sionism can generate when
it is real. The contrast is
depressing.
Beyond Abstraction
Two. especially. Of the
Washington prize-winners
provide q heartening note.
These are Mr.. Gates and Mr..
Nesbitt. Mr.. Lazzari is not
abstract expressionist because
there's no such thing as alb
Stract expressionist sculpture.
In sculpture you have to know
what you're doing and how
to do it or the thing will
fall apart physically. "Ex-
tended Form" is a classical
development of shape and
volume in space, executed
with precision and balance,
greatly enhanced by a some-
what rough surface in the
green Of the bronze.
Mrs. Fosters Motion" is

lock, done in the universally
familiar manner of the big
dripper of American art.
Paint is SplaShed, Splattered
and piddled onto the canvas
in what is meant to be a
fascinating texture of black,
white; green, blue and alu-
minum. The originality
seems to consist in there
being plenty of bare canvas,
something Pollock never left.
The small size Of Motion"
makes it an agreeable color
splash for the living room.
The painting also illustrates
one Of the great dangers Of
the school. the really acci-
dental image. In the lower

come together to suggest a
horse, peaceably standing
in the woods, bearing with
equanimity the torrents of

GIimpses Of Rottner

Abraham Rattner had a
memorable one-man show at
the Corcoran Gallery Of Art
three years ago. Now the
Galerie Internationale, 2101
s street NV, is showing 20
paintings and drawings
which were included in the
larger retrospective exhibi-
ton Of Rather. one Of a
series organized by the
American Federation Of Arts
with a Ford Foundation
grant in 1959-60. The Phil
lips Gallery recently showed
the retrospective Of Lee
Catch from the same series,
and earlier this season, the
Galerie Internationale had a
sampling Of that Of Milton
Avery.
The current snow gives
examples of Rattner's work
during Is years. One Of the
earliest, his Martyr" (1944),
clasped by an angel, has a
rough oval design in which
heavy black lines resemble
leads Of stained glass win
dows. Much Of Rattner's rich
glowing color, in which red
blue, green and yellow pre-
dominate. suggest stained
glass.
Rather served in France
in World War I, as q cam
outage engineer in the
United States Army. Back
home for q year, he won a
scholarship, returned to
France and spent 20 years
working and studying art.
His painting has become in

Corcoran's Washington Ar
fists Series, to extend
through April 2. A native Of
Norfolk, Va, now only 81,
Mr.. Smith seems to be much
farther along in his career
than most artists that age,
because he had an earlier
start. His father, a naval ar
chitect, began his art train =
ing and at the age of 13,
Arthur Smith received pro-
fessional recognition. He at
tended Illinois Wesleyan and
Georgia Universities, leading
art schools in Paris, and
studied with several teachers,
among them Stanley William
Hayter in Paris and Mark
Tobey in Seattle, Wash.
A Fulbright fellowship in
painting when he was 22 was
but one Of several scholar
ships and fellowships he re-
ceived. followed by numerous
prizes for his paintings, wa
tercolors and graphic work.
A majority Of his 36 paint
ingS and graphics in the
Corcoran show are abstract.
In his statement In the cat
alogue he says in part, "In
the drawings my goal is to
achieve an equivalence be-
tween the rhythm Of the line
and the poetry of the sub
ject. In the paintings to
create a radiance through
the INTERROGATION of planes
over the whole painted
surface"
Visitors to the exhibition
will surely agree that he has
come very close to his goals
and has reached them In
some instances: the radiance
Of his triptych "Wings of
the Morning." for example.
Heavy white, yellow and pale
pink strokes and shapes are

Routs 7 Persons
From NE. Home

A two-alarm fire damaged
the roof and top floor of a
three-stor brick dwelling at
319 E street NE. early today.
Firemen said the seven occu-
pants of the house were evacu-
ated without injury. A fireman,
Sergt. Jack T. Webb, 80, of
Engine Company IL, suffered
hand cuts and was treated at
Casualty Hospital.
At the height of the blaze,
flames rose 20 feet above the
roof, police said. Six engine
and three truck companies,
called in response to a 1888 am.
first alarm and a second alarm
minutes later. The fire was
under control in 80 minutes.
Firemen said the origin of
the blaze, which started on the
third floor, was not determined.
The residence was occupied by
John Lowry, 80, and his family,
police said.
