were not assembled. Many of
the older works were either
unearthed in Vatican land or
given to the church by
donors. But the most life
enhancing objects in the
Vatican, including st. Peters
itself, were mostly commits
stoned by the church as part
of its normal activity over
a period Of several centuries
which, happily, comprised
the most intense spell Of
sustained achievement in the
history of art.
Volume of Treasures
Skira, the Swiss publisher.
has just brought out a beau
tiful volume, TREASURES
OF THE VATICAN, by Maui
rizio Calvesi which surveys
those treasures in excellent
color and gives a useful ac-
count Of the growth of the
collections from the earliest
times to the end of the 18th
century.
Early manuscripts and
later tapestries are included
along with the great stream
of masterpieces that began
with Giotto and eliminated
in Raphael and Michelangelo,
with Carlo Maderna and
Bernini sealing the work OF
the masters with the sign of
the Baroque.
An excellent feature of this
oversize volume is that many
of the works reproduced in
color are shown in their
Vatican settings. Thus Raph-
ael'S supreme works in the
Stanze are revealed in their
magnificent interrelation be-
tween the actual architec-
ture and the architecture Of
the paintings.
Authentic Grandeur
Thus. too, the throne and
the baldochino of st. Peters
show their authentic gran
deur, a grandeur the visitor
is captured by but which
vanishes in the usual photo
graphs, we're the objects
by themselves seem merely
grandioSe.

we are in the debt Of Jose
De Creeft.
De Creeft, Of the same gen.
Grafton as Picasso, was also
part of the amazing artistic
fecundity that came out of
Spain beginning in the early
years of this century. Like
the other great Spaniards,
his life and his achievement
have taken place away from
Spain.
At 81 he arrived in Paris
and enlisted in painful pro-
cess whereby sculpture was
to be brought back to life
for modern times. The young
De Creeft met the old Rodin,
but there was no one else of
stature at work and, except
for Lipchitz, the whole Of
the new spirit in art was con-
centrated on painting.
De Creeft mastered the aca-
demic techniques of modelling
in clay and delivering the
clay to artisans to enlarge
and translate into marble. He
found the process as un-
satisfactory as we find most
of the work produced by the
process. In 1915 he took up
the hammer and chisel and
began to rediScover the meth
odS Of direct carving, the
ancient method which Euro
pean sculptors hadn't prac-
ticed in generations.
Done in America
He came to the United
States in 1929 and has been
here ever since. Most of the
work in the show, naturally,
was done in this country,
but there is one large piece
of junk sculpture made in
Paris in 1925 which beauti-
fully illustrates that there is
nothing new under the sun.
Junk sculpture has been all
the rage for the last five
years or so, but here is De
Creeft, in 1925, fastening to-
gether a few dollars worth
Of old stovepipe and kerosene
cans and giving us an ef-
fective vision of a "Picador,"
which cuts through all the
contemporary mystique Of the
bullfight to summon up the
ridiculous ghost of Don
Quixote.
The true De Creeft is diff
ferent. 1t is found in the
20 or so carved stones of
the show. In marble and
granite, in green serpentine
and African wonder stone,
these peices, as much as any
sculpture in history, m AXE
visible for us the classical
notion that the form, or the
image, is within the stone
and is not so much fash
ioned as found by the seeking
edge of the chisel and the
probing power of the ham
mer. Similarly. De Creeft's
sculptures, better than
Michelangelos own works,
meet Michelangelo'S dictum
that to be good, a sculpture
ought to be able to be rolled
down a hill without damage.
In Comparison
The form found in the
stone is more often than not
that of a woman. The

ReoItyVoIues
List to Public

The public today was given
the right to check tax records
for the market value of real
estate in the District.
The provision was included
in regulations which carry out
a new District real estate
The new levy, which goes
into effect Tuesday, requires
payment of one-half of per
cent of the fair market value
of any real estate property
which changes hands.
City finance officials origi-
nally had proposed that the
market-value figures be kept
secret. This secrecy provision
was dropped, however, after it
was reported in The Star.
Under the regulations
adopted today by the Commits
Sioners, the amount of the tax
paid will be shown on the deeds
which are available to the pub
lie. The market value thus can
be determined by multiplying
the tax figure by 200.
Details of the real estate
transactions which must be
filed as a basis for paying the
deed tax will not be made pub
lie. These details include the
exact amount of cash and the
trust figures in a transaction.
Complaints about proposed
withholding of information on
the transfer tax had reached
the House special subcommit-
tee on Government informa-
ton, according to a letter from
Chairman Moss to Commits
sioner Walter Tobriner.
ITO impose complete secrecy
onthe new real estate tax
either to satisfy real estate
operators. as has been sug-
gested, or to prevent admins
trative inconvenience-would
be a dangerous step toward
secret government" the sub
committee chairman wrote.

WARMHEARTED WOMEN
They Made Life Easier for Animals
By MYRA MACPHERSON
Star stan Writer

Two kind little elderly ladies
who years ago went around
putting snow shoes on horses
were honored yesterday.
They and a third Animal
Rescue League member were
given silver tray trophies by
their League compatriots for
their years of being kind to
hundreds of horses, dogs, cats,
chickens, pigs, monkeys, ra-
coons, rats, mice, goats, carrier
pigeons and one skunk.
Sitting in the spotlesS clinic
of the Leagues home at II o
street N.W.-built especially to
shelter stray animals in 1882
they told of the days when
their home was an abandoned
stable loft in an alley.
The year was 1914 and very
few automobiles competed with
rse-drawn carriages and
wagons.
The idea for the League
started when an actress, Miss
Minnie Madden Fiske, wrote a
letter complaining about the
cruelty to mules and horses
she had seen in Washington.
She said it was a disgrace and
that she didn't care to come
here to act," said Mrs. Harry
c. Moses of 2915 Connecticut
avenue N.W.-85 years old and
an original board member.
Target of Jokes
1--WE formed a league, with
the help of the Boston Animal
Rescue League. At first, every
body made fun of us. They Just
thought we were a lot of
hySterical women"
Another original board mem
ber, 72-year-old Mrs. Merton E.
Twogood of 3431 Sixteenth
street NV, added, "but until
then, there just wasn't any
place to take a stray animal, or
one who needed help. We used
to bring the horses in to have
their teeth filled so they could
eat and we had an awful time
convincing the owners we
weren't going to harm them"
Mrs. Moses said, In those
days, the hills used to he quite
bad and in the winter the
horses would slip and fall. We
thought of putting shoes on
them. We cut up squares of
carpeting and got some rope
and had a shoemaker put holes
through the carpeting so we
could tie the rope through. At
first we would stand IN the
corners going up the hills at
such streets as Sixteenth street
and Columbia road and give
the shoes to the drivers. They
really worked and after a while
the drivers came to us for new
ones when the other wore out"
Our loft was in Decatur al
ley NE. We had no ambulance

area.
2. Sent to the floor a pro-

ber ceiling on the White House

it's quota and still is unable to

The League has become a
place where children bring an

had rats. mice and raccoons.
One little monkey was found in
a telephone booth at a bus sta
tion. Someone went to tele-
phone and was dumfounded to
find this monkey. He turned it
over to the police who brought
him to us. The Zoo didn't have

Supervisor Robert C. Gotten
Democrat, called the boards
action "the best thing that evel
happened to Fairfax County
He said he had had "innumer-
able" telephone calls from con-
stituents who approved of the
project. Supervisor James
Keith, Democrat, said he hadn't
heard anything that would
make him change his vote fol
the reZoning.
Mrs. Wilkins Praised
Mrs. Wilkins, who, along with
Board Chairman William H
Moss, Republican, opposed the
boards action, said she fell
there was no possibility Of re-
consideration by the board
She said she had opposed the
action because she felt the
Potomac palisades should be
protected and because small
estate areas such as those along
the riverfront are "as valu-
able to Fairfax as any apart
ment could be-"
The Mason District Demo-
cratic Committee last night
approved a resolution COM
mending Mrs. Wilkins for her
opposition to the Auchincloss
zoning.
Mr.. Leigh also denied state
ments yesterday by opponents
of the apartment development
that he had assured some resi-
dents of Mclean only a few
days before the rezoning that
he would fight the apartments
He said he had spoken with
leaders of the Mclean Citi-
zens Association several days
before the rezoning but had
neither told them he would
oppose nor support the project
However, he said, since he
had always fought apartments
in the past, they had a right
| to assume I was against these.

Group to Aid Negroes
Making Free TripHere

A committee OF 10 Negro
leaders here has announced
plans to supplement aid to
Negro migrants who might take
up the New Orleans Citizens
Council offer for free trans
portation here.
The committees effort is tc
be co-ordinated with that al
ready announced by the Health
and Welfare Council of the
National Capital area, a group
ing of social welfare agencies
The Negro committees chair
man, Sterling Tucker. who is
also executive director of the
Washington Urban League, ex-
planned at press conference
yesterday afternoon that the
committee would help migrants
by Cd raising funds for such
immediate neeN as housing.
food, clothing and medicine.
and (2) organizing volunteer
social workers to interview the
migrants to ascertain their
problems and needs.
The money raised will be
channeled to the Health and
Welfare Council "as the need
arises" Mr.. Tucker said. In
the event the funds are not
needed, they will be returned
to the donors"
The newly organized group
is known as the Citizens Com
mittee for New Orleans Ref
ugees.
E. Franklin. Jackson, CO.
chairman of the committee,
said that the new group hopes
to add a little bit more to
the comfort" of the migrants
who will be strangers in a
strange city" by letting them
know Negroes are ready to help
them. Mr.. Jackson is head of
the District chapter of the Ma
