$4,000 per year is spent by

Congressional Arts Medal?
When the Government
wanted to honor the 80-year-
old Igor Stravinsky earlier
this year for his achievements
he was presented with a
medal by Secretary Of State
Rusk. but there were those
who felt that our lack of
provision for official recog-
milton Of outstanding merit
in the arts and humanities
was a little embarrassing.
Apparently among them
was Representative Ere d
Schwengel, Republican of
Iowa, who recently intro
duced a resolution which
would establish q joint con-
gressional committee for the
purpose of awarding a Medal
Of Merit to citizens of the
United States who have made
significant contributions to
the humanities and the arts"
Mr.. Schwengel. an eloquent
man. noted in a speech in
the House that I'VE can sell
cosmetics and beer but we
have yet to learn how to sell
liberty"
THE gesture of bestowing
such a medal of merit on the
greats in these fields would
have the effect Of personaliz-
ing and dramatizing, of adj
vertising and doing honor not
only to the individual who
has been chosen, but to the
Congress itself and the Amer
lean people," he argued.
This, says the award in
part, is what we truly are, a
people who have respect for
and bestow honor upon the
outstanding personalities in
American culture, in the
broad but important area of
the humanities."
Plainly, there are in Iowa
other attitudes towards the
arts than those made famous
last year by Representative
Gross during the celebrated
debate preceding the death

Water COlOrs
Members have contributed
almost as many water colors
as oils. This medium is most
effective for the kind of OBJ
servation that permeates the
show. 1t is a modest observa-
ton for the most part, both
as to what is selected for OBJ
Servation, the manner in
which it is observed and the
style in which the observa-
ton is passed along to the
rest Of us.
What is observed is chiefly
flower arrangements or gar
dens, patches of countryside
or beaches. Memory recalls
only one out-and-out city
scene, "42nd Street, N. Y"
by Barksdale Rogers, and in
this the neon and the crowds
are treated as if they, too,
comprised a still-life subject.
From this there comes the
conjecture that most of the
painters represented work at
painting as a respite from
other things, the business of
daily life. Painting relates to
a walk in the country, a
glance at the garden, a day
on the beach. 1t is, perhaps,
a form of escape, as all these
things are, in their different
ways, forms of escape from
the daily grind. Yet if escape

Until our own time the
Shtetl was a Jewish village
in Eastern Europe. 1t was
originally set up by the Cars
so that Jews would be handy
in the event that Russians
wished to kill some. The in
stitution proved such. a sue
cess that it spread into the
Baltic countries, Poland and
the Balkans.
Persecution
Between killings, however,
the Jews of the Shtetl-
which may be thought of as
a rural ghetto-developed a
life of their own including a
language, Yiddish, and most
especially a highly original
attitude toward life, an at
tltude at once Wry, resigned,
outraged, humorous, endur-
ing, cynical and deeply pious.
The attitude. clearly, can be
ascribed to the conditions Of
more or less permanent per-
secution under which the
Jews of the Shtetl lived for
centuries. The attitude is best
known to Americans in the
stories of the Great Yiddish
writer, Sholom Aleichem, and,
in its more enchanting as
poets, in the paintings Of
Marc Chagall.
The Shtetl ceased to exist
when the Germans, with
their well-known efficiency,
improved upon the Russian
system of persecution to such
