PUG. Approves
Gas Rute Cut on
Summer Volume

The Washington Gas Light
Co. has won permission to offer
a new service to it's large vol
ume customers.
These customers will have
the option of buying gas at a
lower rate, but with the COM
pany having authority to cur
tail or interrupt service.
The company'S plan was ap-
proved yesterday by the District
Public Utilities Commission.
At hearings last month, COM
pany spokesman said the idea
is to sell more gas during the
slack summer months when
household and other heating
customers have furnaces off.
The lower "interruptable" rate
ultimately would benefit all the
customers by increasing the
company's revenue.
The "interruptable" net rate
will be SIS cents per therm
which is about 100 cubic feet
of gas. 1t will be less than half
the present average rate for a
household gas user.
The company will have the
right to curtail or interrupt
delivery if the supply drops to
a certain level. The customers
who sign for this new service
will have to provide their own
standby facilities.
The new rate schedule will
go into effect for billings based
on meter readings beginning
June /.

As Many Firms Seek New Image

Mobil Oil Co., including new
building signs, stationery, legal
fees and surveys, it added ur
to a whopping $500. 1000.
Despite all the hopes pinned
on such fresh images, there's
no guarantee the public will
accept them. One General Elec-
trio Co. executive got the no
ton that "GE" was an insult
able nickname and the result
ing river of memos was impress
sive. To the man on the street,
however, it's still GE, and prob
ably always will be.

!; OF BUSINESS
By TRUMAN r. TEMPLE
Star Staff Writer

Shortly after George Rom
ney's dynamic presence began
to send shock waves down
through the re-organized Amer
lean Motors Corp. a few years
ago, the company sent out a
memo to newspaper editors to
this effect:
In future stories, would you
call our product Just Rambler,
not Nash Rambler? We're try
ing to create a new image"
The success of the campaign
has earned the flattery of imi-
tation. Last week Studebaker-
Packard Corp. had a proposal
for its stockholders: Let's drop
the Packard from our title. We
don't make it any more.
For many reasons, corpora
tons are changing their names
nowadays at a record rate
Barron'S magazine estimates
this week that more than $50
companies have come up with
new monikerS since January of
1861, partly helped by mergers.
Changes in ID. C. Area
This area has not escaped
the trend, the most conspicu-
Gus example being Martin-Ma-
rietta Corp, result Of Martin
Company'S wedding with Amer
can-Marietta. Others include
Macke Vending Co., formerly
Macke (GB) Corp. of Washing
ton and the exotic-sounding
Fairchild Stratos Corp, once
known as Fairchild Engine &
Airplane Corp. of Hagerstown.
Md.-a company now moving
away from aircraft and into
space work.
Sometimes the new name
seems an escape from sheer
monotony. Local editors
breathed a sigh of relief when
the proliferating mily of
GEICO affiliates-Government
Employees Insurance, Govern
ment Employees Life Insurance,
Government Employees Corp,
Government Employees Finance
and Industrial Loan, and Gov
eminent Employees Financial
Services-decided to upset ev-
erything last year by naming
their latest addition Criterion
Insurance Co.
Change in Operations
Others want a new title to
reflect changed operations.
Stockholders of Graham-Paige
Corp. cast ballots yesterday to

change it to Madison Square
Garden Corp. The company in
vested in this real estate par
eel after the Graham and the
Paige autos stopped coming off
assembly lines over two decades
ago.
Sometimes the new name re-
fleets the company's best
known product or the one it
wants to push. NAFI has pro-
posed a switch to Chris-Craft
Industries, Inc. Nehi Corp. be-
came Royal Crown Cola Co. a
few years ago, after officials
argued that this drink among
its 100 varieties accounted for
so per cent of Nehi's volume.
Occasionally the process is
reversed. Good Humor Corp.
needs no explanation, but can
one person in a thousand guess
the product under its new title,
Southport Commercial Corp?
Brevity plays a part in the
reasoning. General Shoe Corp.
took a look at its varied OPP
erations - chemicals, retailing,
flat silver, as well as shoes-and
hit upon Genesco, Inc. (Execu-
tives considered Tiffany" for a
while, since it owns the prestige
store in New York, but dropped
it because the luxury image
didn't fit the company's other
low-priced productS.)
Change Costs Money
The corporation faces a far
more complicated process in
name-changing than the bored
teen ager who temporarily
spells Ann as Aynne. or glamor-

Smithsonian

The current exhibition at
the Smithsonian's Foyer Gal
lery in the Natural History
Museum, is a house show in
several ways. The exhibition
of color woodcuts and Chi
aroscuro prints by the 18th
century Englishman, John
Baptist jackson, is the work
of the Smithsonian's curator
of graphic arts, Jacob Kainen.
Also, the show celebrates the
publication, by the Smith

Mr.. Kainen, as artist and
scholar, is well qualified to
rehabilitate the almost for
gotten figure of the man who
brought the color woodcut to
its technical perfection. The
medium, long despised, is
widely used today and Jack
son sis the main ancestral
figure" for this development.
The material itself, to a
non-technical eye, is not
wildly rewarding. Jackson

Burton Got Ice
In Form Of FIoe

HOLLYWOOD, CAP).-Jim
and Henry Backus have writ
ten a book about their movie
making experiences at home
and abroad. It's got the in
triguing title: What Are
You Doing After the Orgy"
One anecdote concerns
Richard Burton in Alaska
where Backus and Burton
made "Ice Palace" a few
years ago.
Burton's hotel room stood
on stills over a bay where
occasional junior grade ice
bergs floated by. One after
noon during the cocktail
hour, the room shook like an
earthquake and the jagged
edge Of an iceberg crashed
through a window.
Burton, in sonorous shake
spearan tones, went out on
the landing above the lobby
and beloved:
Room service! I know we
ordered ice but this is ridicu-
lous."

North Wales

The most important and
rewarding one man show in
the Washington area now is
so miles away, out in War
renton, capital of the horse
ATTITUDES of old Virginia.
The place is North Wales,
formerly the Chrysler estate.
The artist is Chain Gross,
one of the top American
Sculptors. His work has been
more in carved wood than
anything else. For that
reason the North Wales show
is something Of a surprise.
The occasion is the installa-
ton Of q commissioned piece
In front Of the main building
there, a 7-foot high family
of acrobats on the tightrope.
The piece Is In bronze and
so are most of the dozen
or so sculptures on view in
the building.
The artists work in wood
has been, necessarily, closed.
The forms, carved from
blocks Of wood, have carried
with them the feeling Of
blocks Of wood even as they
have simultaneously created
mothers and children, pairs
Of lovers, circus performers.
Bronze opens up these closed
forms. The new Gross sculp-
ture is a world of space
described as well as Of form
created.
The Birds
This new dimension is seen
most wildly in a large
bronze, Seven Birds" The
birds are balanced in an
arrangement Of seven rings.
Everything is open. The birds,
seen in flight, really have
the dazzling impact Of a flock
OF gulls, for instance, sud-
denly aloft at the shore. Each
individual bird is at a diff
ferent angle. Looking from
one to another, you might
be watching a single bird in
flight and the effect is ex-
hilerating.
The openness of bronze
also enhances an old Gross
theme, that of the mother
enjoying her children.
Happy Mother" poses a
woman and two young ones
dancing in a ring. The en-
closed space is the space of
love itself, gone out from the
heart and returned, in a ring.
North Wales has performed
a real service to art in Wash
ington and the drive out is
well worth while. Take route
27-211 and you pick up di-
rectional signs at the War
renton bypass.

painters of Latin America.
His work shows very clearly
the debt this contemporary
International attitude = for
neo-figurative painting is
much more an attitude, or
a state Of mind. than it is
a formal School-owes to
Goya.
Goya Quality
The Goya connection is
less in the often macabre
subject matter than in the
way the subject matter is
treated. The peculiar Goya
quality, in the prints, resides
in the apparent contrast be-
tween the grim subjects and
the elegance and delicacy Of
the aquatint process.
Mr.. Granada has carried
this contrast into painting.
He paints misshapen mon
tiers. They lie about in death
or decay. They have tiny
bodies, stick-like arms and
legs, enormous heads. They
are dark and in a dark world.
Yet floating in the darkness
are areas of pure luminosity,
usually in red or blue, often
as the local color of a flower
that lights up the darkness.
The colored light in the dark
ness has a very serene eff
feet.
Fine Achievement
Thus in the midst of hor-
ror, serenity appears. The
two qualities act upon each
other. The horror becomes
bearable. The serenity be-
comes poignant.
The show is a fine achieve
ment for a painter of any
age. Mr.. Granada, a painter
with a future, uses the past
of art brilliantly to reveal
the life of the present. There
is death in the paintings, as
there is in our world. But
there is also a strong, quietly
pulsing life.
