Ford Study Program
Shifted to New Groups

! The transfer is to bring the
fellowship program into closer
relation with the Nations
higher educational system, ac-
cording to John Howard, di-
rector of the foundations In
ternational Training and Re-
search program.
He said the fellowship pro-
gram has become the Nations
primary source of young college
and university faculty members
to teach courses on nom
Western areas. More than half
the nearly 300 graduates have
entered academic teaching and
reaSearch careers.
DR.. Schuyler C. Wallace,
dean of the School of Inter-
national Affairs and Regional
Institutes, Columbia University,
and an adviser to the fellow
ship program since its incep-
ton, will become full-time
director of the program under
it's new administration.
A state-by-state breakdown
of fellowship recipients shows

The foundation also an
nounced a grant Of $4.6 million
to the research council to fl

each of three academic years,
beginning in the fall of 1868.
The two councils will assume
joint responsibility for admins

The program was established
in 1852 to help meet a shortage
of Americans versed in the cul-
lures and problems of non-
Western areas. BY the time of
the transfer, the foundation
will have awarded fellowships
totaling about SO million to
about 1900 persons, mainly for
studies dealing with Asia, the
Near East, Africa, the Soviet

Creation Experienced

BY painting his heroes in a
manner unthinkable without
the experience of abstract ex-
presSionism. Mr.. Romano
charges his images with
equally effective associations
for our time. There is, in the
first place, the experience of
paint, both as a physical sub
stance and as a process. Both
have been newly brought to
our attention by abstract ex-
preston; both are present in
these paintings of heroes.
Both contribute to the image
and its effect on us. Ines
cably aware of the physical
substance and of the process
of making, we transfer these
notes to the hero presented.
We see Lincoln, or Jefferson,
as fashioned Of the colored
earth of America. We feel the
process, of creation.
In Lincoln Weeps," a great
picture, the carefully con-
tolled drip of paint reminds
us of tears and of rain. The
fiercely contrasted colors sug-
gest the fire and darkness of
a blast furnace, the struggle
in which such a soul was
forged. In every way the
paintings are objects of con-
temptation, which is precisely

Dickson Gallery

Maurice-Hen dainty, a
painter of Paris, is exhibit
ing at the Dickson Gallery
and mixed in with a bunch
of deplorable clown pictures
are some very fine paintings
of such very fine old subjects
as flowers on a table, houses
in the show and sailboats
cutting through the waves.
Mr.. dainty has a pleasing
way with paint itself and
uses glazes to excellent ad-
vantage. Glazes are rare these
days, being one of the many
means of painting given up
for the sake of freedom Of
expression. Often M. dainty
achieves something like that
combination Of thick pigment
and golden glaze that distin-
guishes much of the work of
Monticello. The result is a
sensual appeal from the pig
ment itself.

is the last chance to see a
first-rate exhibition at the
George Washington Univer-
sity library. The painter is
SIENNA Donneson, who has
exhibited regularly in New
York and overseas in State
Department sponsored shows.
Miss Donneson paints in a
form rarely used today or for
that matter at any other
time, the tondo, or circular
painting. She is also abstract
in one of the earlier mean
ings of the word. She apints
an image Of things you don't
normally see at all but which
have existence and meaning
readily grasped by the mind.
She is thus n-objective in
one sense, but in another she
is a representational painter.
The same problem used to
be tackled by those academic
painters who did pictures of
young girls and called them,
Hope" or Faith" Miss
Donneson uses dynamic ar
rangements of light and dark
color, thick and thin texture
instead of young girls and,
not surprisingly, she succeeds
very we'll.
The peculiar problem of the
tondo is we'll known in WASH
ington due to the presence of
the Nativity tondo by Fra
Angelica and Lippo Lippi in
the National Gallery. Miss
Donneson solves the problem
of the non-rotating wheel by
achieving total balance in
her forms and especially in
the relationships between
light and dark color areas.
BY using the tondo, she also
avoids the fate of much sim
liar painting in rectangles.
Many such works give the i'm

arbitrary rectangles cut out
Of an abstract pattern that
could go on and on and on.
Miss Donneson's circles, on
the other hand, are strictly
composed.
Within her mastery of
strict composition for the
circular form, Miss Donneson

refuse about the neighborhood.
Because of these circum-
stances, the residents asked for
more adequate police patrol.
They agreed also on a nightly
curfew for their children to
help prevent what little van
dalism had occurred early in
the night. The residents will
ask that Franklin be made a
one-way street.

encourage the people in their
cleaning job. They meet regu-
larry with the project leaders
to keep them informed of the
progress.
Newcomer Sets Example
Mrs. Allsbrook, a driving
force in the group, said that
cleaning the neighborhood will
make people there feel alive"
when I moved here about a
year ago, nobody seemed to
care about the way the neigh
borhood looked" she said. But,
I cleaned up around my house,
planted some flowers and right
away people took notice. Some
times people need someone to
show them and then they be-
come interested. If you give
people a little something to
work with, they appreciate it"
At that December meeting,
Mrs. McFadden said: 1--WE don't
want 10 forget about the inside
while we are cleaning up the
outside"
This remark gave life to an
other phase of the job.
"Once We are through with
cleaning up and painting the
outsides of the houses, we are
going to encourage the resi-
dents to fix up the interiors of
their homes" said Mr.. Dixon.
1--WE are concerned also with
improving the living standards
of the people, but our next
moves will have to be decided
upon by the people themselves"

Pan American

Currently showing at the
Pan American Union are 10
large paintings and some
small drawings, colleges and
gouaches by Manuel Jiminez
of Peru. Mr.. Jiminez, accord
ing to the program, is here
having his first United
States one man show and
presently resides in New
York City, where most of the
work included in this exhibit
ton was produced"
Even without the program
note. the paintings show
their place of origin very
clearly. In a romantic-his-
torical mood, you may be
able to detect here and there
what you may fancy to be
an Inca form, or the memory
of an Inca form, but much
more obvious is the memory
of the New York School.
Large surfaces are covered
with guSto as well as with
paint freely smeared about.
Beneath all the smearing,
however, in almost every case,
is a strong basic composition,
a balancing of form against
form or, often, a pitting of
shape against space, with the
contesting elements weighed
as if on a scale.

Howard University

Charles MCGEE of Detroit
provides the current exhibit
ton at Howard University's
art gallery and his 80 or so
paintings are well worth a
visit. The work includes a
full-scale demonstration of
technical competence. There
are several charcoal drawings
and there are a number of
paintings of classical still life
subjects, including "Viscera,"
a beautifully painted ar
rangement of animal intes-
tines.
Mr.. MCGEE, however, is OBJ
viously interested in doing a
number of other things be-
sides simply paint as well as
he can and he's interested in
doing them through painting.
Chiefly, no doubt, he is in
terested in commenting on
the position of the Negro in
American life. This and re-
lated questions have in re-
cent years been banished
from American painting. In
theory the only respectable
question for an artist to con-
Germ himself with today is his
own emotional response to
the act of painting. Yet not
only did the American art of
20 years ago concern itself
largely with broader social
questions, but the entire his
tory of painting, from the
18th century on up, shows a
steady concern with such
questions.
The present artist easily
avoids the admitted trap that
social interest can present to
an artist. He moves easily in
a blend of symbolism and
realism that relates theoret-
ically to the painting of Ben
Shahn.

Youths Petition
Court for Visa
For Tshombe
w oS5sF'ss - -
February rs, 1862

District Court here has been
asked to order Secretary of
State Rusk to issue a visa to
Katanga mier Noise
Tshombe so he can attend a
rally in New York next month.
A suit seeking such an order
was filed in the court yester-
day by Washington Attorney
Thomas M. OMalley for the
Young Americans for Freedom.
The compls int seeks to have
the State Department take &C
ton on a request for a visa
made on February 3 by the
secessionist Congolese leader.
1t then asks the court to re-
quire the Secretary Of State to
issue the visa.
About a week ago the State
Department announced that "a
visit to the United States by
Mr.. Tshombe at this time
would interrupt and jeopardize
progress" toward Identification
Of the Congo. Mr.. Tshombe
and Congo Premier Cyrille
Adoula have been negotiating
seceSsionist Katanga's re-entry
into the Congo.
Mr.. TShombe has been in
vited by the YAF to attend the
organizations March 7 rally
at New York's Madison Square
Garden to receive an award
from the group on behalf of
the Katangese people for their
courageous stand against Com
munisum and their continued
fight for freedom" according
to a YAF spokesman. Senator
Goldwater. Republican of Arr
iona will be a speaker at the
meeting.
Assistant United States At
torney Gil Zimmerman said
the YAF does not represent
Mr.. Tshombe in the suit, but
stated merely that refusal to
admit the Katanga leader
would harm the rally.

can DO Tor his art and a man
with a vision of his own about
some of the outermost boun-
daries set so far by human
excellence. He paints a sub
ject so traditional as to be
found in all Western art
from Egypt on up, yet one
rarely tackled with serious
ness in our time, perhaps
because we no longer believe
in the idea. Umberto Ro-
mano paints great men.
His show is called The
Image of Man." but the heart
of the exhibition is in heroic
sized portrait heads of Lin
coin and jefferson, and in
smaller heads of Dante, Bee
thoven, Michelangelo and
Einstein. It once seemed that
we would never again see a
serious artist address himself
to such subjects. Indeed, it
seemed so as recently as dur
ing the discussion of the FDR
memorial. The problem has
been summed up as banality:
Great men have been painted
so often and by so many
hacks that it is simply i'm
possible for an authentic
artist to do anything with
them.
Mr.. Romano does quite a
bit. The classical, late 18th
or early 10Th century ap-
proach we in Washington are
accustomed to in our public
sculpture got much of its eff
feet from a deliberate asso-
citation of the subject with
antiquity, usually Roman an
tiquity. Hence, among other
things, the semi-nude statue
OF Washington now tucked
away in the Smithsonian's
graphic arts department. The
artist says in effect, this hero
of our own is comparable to
those of the golden age of
Rome. The connection was
effective for the time.

H. O. B.

The latest member Of Con-
gress to join the growing list
of legislative art exhibitors
is Congressman Udall of Ari-
IONA, brother of the Secre-
tary of the Interior. On view
at Mr.. Udall's offices in the
old House Office Building,
through February, are paint
ings by Ted De Grazia, a
well known Arizona painter.
It is ungracious to criti-
CHE any aspect of this new
trend, since it seems but
yesterday that the main art
exhibits in Congress were
billed as freak shows. As
sorted congressman accumu-
lated reams of newspaper
space by purporting to dem
onstrate that the only color
in American art was red. No
citizen can do anything but
rejoice that those bad old
days are ended, at least tenn
porarily. He can rejoice also
in the new, benificent interest
in art being shown by various
members as individuals. In
theory Congress could provide
a continuing group of ex-
hibitions of painting and
sculpture around the coun-
try which would be of the
greatest value, offering an
immediate cure for the de-
fusion that nothing in art
happens al all outside
megalopolis.
Mr.. De Grazia, unfortu-
nately, is an rather weak
base for such dreams of
glory. He Is very competent,
very winning and essentially
an illustrator. The charm of
his little Indian girls, for
example, comes through at a
glance and when you've had
that you've had it all. This
Is pretty much true of his
other southwest subjects, too.
Something must be going on
in Arizona besides tourism
of the sentiments and let us
all hope that on some fu-
ture occasion Mr.. Udall will
exhibit it.
