have been living In Italy for
the last four years. My IT
year-old son has been attend
ing the italian public schools.
He speaks three languages flu
ently-Italian, French and
German. He wants to enroll in
an American university next
fall. How does he go about do
ing it? VIII he get credit for
the work he has taken abroad?
I'm sure there are others In my
predicament.
Answer: Yes, there are. ! get
frequent letters from families
abroad, especially from service
men. who want to know
whether foreign school pro-
grams are acceptable in, this
country. Generally speaking,
the secondary course taken
abroad is equivalent to that re-
ceived by our high school stu
dents here. As q matter Of fact,
the foreign secondary program
is usually ahead Of ours by a
year or two.
The fact that your son speaks
three languages fluently, and
has evidently had considerable
travel experience as wen, is in
his favor. I would suggest that
you get a transcript Of your
boys academic record abroad

pleasing to the organization.
Mr.. Hodges has said that any
BAG sessions addressed by
Government officials must be

taking an active part also in
naming members to the BAG

Question: I am in my late
40s and a successful sales en-
gineer. Recently I have given
thought to my later active
years, perhaps those from so
to 10. With the short supply of
teachers it seems to me that
the group Of mature, older men.
experienced in commercial and
industrial fields of activity,
could offer much as q source
Of manpower to supplement the
normal number Of younger.
professionally trained teachers.
1 have a BIS. degree in engi-
neering but no experience in
teaching. I would be willing to
take the necessary educational
courses. What are the pros
poets Of my getting a teaching
Job upon retirement?
Answer: You pose a chal-
lenging problem. The Nation
boasts of many thousands of
highly qualified, C CONF etent
professional men and women.
Many, I am certain, would be
happy to end their productive
years in the classroom or on a
college campus. Unfortunately
not many school systems o..
college officials have encour-
aged this step. There still Is a
reluctance, despite the acute
teacher and faculty shortages,
to accept retired men and
women. The prejudice against
persons over As still exists in
education as, I dare say, it. ex-
lists elsewhere.
But this attitude may change.
I know many retired military
officers who have retrained,
upon retirement, to become
teachers and college professors,
Why not form a society of re-
tired engineers, or business
executives. or other profess
sional groups, to work for closer
cooperation between education
and industry? I am sure that
the experience you have OBJ
tanned in Is years Of active
work in your field would prove
valuable in the classroom.
I'd encourage you to take
the education courses and pre-
pare yourself for a teaching
career. Who knows? Ten years

Continued From First Pare
ton to the larger question Of
the Corcoran's continued ex-
istence as Q cultural value to
Washington. Since the estab-
|lishment Of the National Cal
lery, In 1887" he said, .'the
clear course for the Corcoran
has been to become an out
standing collection Of Ameri-
can art and especially Of
modern American art. The
Halpert gift would be . major
step toward such q goal"
Still Some Hope
The treasurer has not en-
tirely given up hope that
Something can still be done" /"
The trustees, he said, have
approached several founda-
tions and wealthy individuals
to solicit support for q new
wing Of goth Century American
art. As yet no response has
been forthcoming.
Mr.. Thorn also suggested
the ultimate adoption" Of the
Corcoran by the Federal Coy
ernment, on the same basis
as the National Gallery, as
the solution not only to the
acceptance Of the current gift
but also to the Corcoran's
continuing problem of not
enough money for buying art,
too much for bu1Idin 9
maintenance.
IF our housekeeping ex-
penses were paid by Congress. =
he said, "as are the Nationals,
the Corcoran could become
what Washington so badly
lacks, q national museum OF
the Nations own art"
The roster of artists repre-
sented by Mrs. Halpert reads
like an honor roll of American
art in our century: Georgia
OKeeffe, Charles Sheeler, Max
weber, Abraham Rattner,
Stuart Davis, Ben ShaFn and
William Zorach are among
them. Deceased artists whose
work she has largely handled
include John Marin, Marsden
Hartley, Arthur Dove, Yasuo
Kuniyoshi, Jules Pascin,
Charles Demuth, Niles Spen-
Ger and william Harnett. Best
known among younger artists
represented at one time OF
another by Mrs. Halpert's
Downtown Gallery is the bril-
liant social satirist and tech
nical perfectionist, Jack Levine
The Halpert collection is
based on artists represented
by the Downtown Gallery, but
includes works by many other

Halpert worked closely with
Abby Aldrich Rockefeller,
building the folk art collection
now installed in the restored
colonial town Of Williamsburg.
Va.
In Government Phase
Mrs. Halpert has been IN
volved in the problem of gov
ernment in art since the New
Deal, when she worked with
the late Holgar Cahill assem-
bling and purchasing art for
Government use under the
numerous Federal programs of
those, days. More recently, she
served as the director of the
Moscow in 1859; In that
capacity she engaged In q
spirited public exchange with
President Eisenhower over the
suitability Of one Of the Amer
lean paintings shown to the
Russians. Completely biparti-
san in the matter Of defend
ing American art from Ameri-
can Presidents, Mrs. Halpert
earlier censured President
Truman for remarks of his
q bout American paintings
which reminded him Of ''ham
and eggs"
During her work In Wash
ington the Russian-born Mrs
Halpert was struck. like SO
many others, with the absence
of q truly representative per-
manent exhibition Of goth
Century American art. From
that experience grew her deter
mination to donate her own col
lection to q Washington art
institution. From. the first. she
said, the Corcoran seemed the
logical place. The National Gal
lery, she noted, does not nor
mally accept works by artists
until they have been dead 20
years. The National Collection
of Fine Arts has no building Of
its own. The Phillips Collection
is strictly the creation Of Mr.,
and Mrs. Duncan Phillips.
Other Gifts Possible
Mrs. Halpert had no trouble
persuading the three collectors
to join her. She says that most
Americans interested in the art
Of their own country are dis
turbed by the poor representa-
ton of that art in Washington
She believes that If the pro-
posed new collection of the
Corcoran does come into ex-
istence it will have q steady

The Commerce Department
apparently expects to have q
business advisory council even
IL the present group decides to
cut its ties with the depart
ment, it was learned yesterday.
The present Business Advi-
sorry Council has asked PreSi-
dent Kennedy to transfer 1t
from its place in the Commerce
Department and make it in
stead q general economic advi-
ser to government.
Some changes instituted by
Secretary Of Commerce Hodges
in connection with the coun-
cil'S operations are reported to
have become unpopular with
many BAG members.
Under BAGS proposal to the
President. the council still
would undertake assignments
for the Commerce Department
but would be available for other
departments and agencies of
the Government.
Would Usurp Name
It became known that Act
ing Secretary of Commerce Ed
ward Gudeman has sent q let
ter to Roger M. Blough, head OF
the BAG executive COMMITTEES
and board chairman of the
United States Steel Corp. In
the letter, Mr.. Gudeman ex-
pressed belief there is still q
real need for a business adyis-
ory council to advise the Sec
retary Of Commerce and the
department.
And If the BAG membership
votes to cut It's ties with the
department. it was learned, the
Commerce Department expects
to organize another similar
business advisory group.
Because the department in
tends to continue with a busi-
ness advisory council, Mr..
Gudeman told Mr.. Blough, "It
would be unfortunate if there
were q confusion of names"
Mr.. Gudeman's letter, it was
learned, emphasized that If Mr..
Blough and his associates 60
ahead with organization Of
their group on q separate and
completely private basis, they
should choose another name,
instead of Business Advisory
Council.

Pick Of ColIectlone

This problem is addressed in
the terms Of the proposed gift
to the Corcoran. The institu-
ton would have its pick Of the
four collections, with no obli-
cation to accept any individual
item that it felt no need for.
Once the selection was made,
however. the Corcoran would
assume the responsibility oi
keeping rs per cent Of 1t on
view at all times. Thus, the
donors feel, the American or
foreign visitor to Washington
could always be assured Of q
comprehensive view Of Ameri-
can modern art. On this clause
there seems to. be no disagree
ment on the part Of the Cor
coran.
Meanwhile. Mrs. Halpert
warns that the four collections
cannot indefinitely be held
together as available for the
Corcoran or even for Washing =
ton. "The disposition Of sub
stantial collections Of art" she
said, ''is o complicated legal
process. No prudent collector
can afford to let the question
lie unanswered very long. #
these works Of art are not
accepted in Washington, they
will aSsuredly be given, else
where very soon."
There the matter rests: -Four
patriotic art collectors wish to
endow their Nations Capital
with a superb collection Of
American art; the Corcoran
Gallery is anxious to have the
art but is unable to meet the
conditions Of the gift. And
time runs out.
