Argentina:
A Paradox

President Arturo FrOndizi's
government seemed on the
verge of cOllapsing as result
of last weeks provincial cleo
tiOns in Argentina in which
supporters of former dictator
Juan d. PerOn won significant
triumphs.
Juan D. Peron ruled Argen-
tina's 10 million people for 10
years as dictator. AS President
from 1945 to 1855, his word was
law. The legislative and judicial
branches of government were
under his personal control, and he
had no use for freedom of the
press, civil liberty or academic
freedom.
But Peron was all things to
all persons.
To the intellectuals, he was a
tyrant. To the middle class and
the rich landowners, he was a
greedy dictator who usurped pub
lie and private funds for his own
use. To the working class the
Argentine "shirtlesS ones" - he
was a great benefactor and a
great man.
His popularity with the working
class began in 1943 when he re-
turned from Italy where he had
personally studied Benito Musso-
linis political philosophy fas-
cism. And like Mussolini, Peron put
his faith in the lower urban
workers, the perennially under
privileged. He made them feel
important for the first time.

The Mutiny

When Premier Pfimlin indicated
in 1858 that he wanted to seek
a cease-fire in Algeria, he opened
the door to mutiny in Algeria and
in France itself.

to be sold out" by Paris, thou

World opinion has been unani-
mously behind Mr.. de Gaulle.
President Kennedy, long a parti-
san of Algerian independence,
hailed the cease-fire as a his
toric accomplishment" Premier
Khrushchev, jumping the propa-
ganda gun, officially extended
recognition to the Algerian lead
ership of Ben Bella, Ben Kheda,
and the rest. Mr.. de Gaulle, Wis
IDLY angered by the Russian act,
reminded the Soviet leader that
there is no Algerian state yet.
But it is only matter of time.

Developments

These were the Geneva develop
ments last week:
NUCLEAR TESTING The
United States and Britain offered
the Soviet Union a treaty In
which detection stations would be
outside the Soviet Union, but
which would require some inspec-
ton of possible explosions on
Soviet territory. Even this mini
mum" inspection plan was re-
jected by the Russians who say
international inspection is a form
of espionage"
Since the United States will re-
sumo testing next month unless
there is treaty, Mr.. Rusk angrily
charged the Russians with not
signing a treaty because they
hypocrltically want to test again
themselves. Mr.. Gromyko said the
United States was just as hypo-
critical.
DISARMAMENT - After much
haggling over procedure, the IT.
nation disarmament conference
plans to begin study of disarma-
ment. The eight neutral nations
are pressing the big powers to
reach agreement on at least some
thing, but indications are that
the talks may become just as
begged down as similar con-
ferences in the past.
BERLIN - The Soviet Union
proposed that the access routes
to Berlin be governed by East
Germany, with an international
commission set up to rule on
disputes. The West says it is
studying the plan, but it appears
as if the West will reject the idea
of giving East Germany so much
control over the routes.

Saving Empire

1t was a war that France fought
only with the greatest reluctance,
not out of any great desire to
keep Algeria French, but rather,
out Of a desire to preserve a
crumbling empire. The empire,
once extending to Indo-C China, and
throughout Africa, is now gone.
France, a powerful member of the
Common Market is probably the
better for it. This was not realized
in Paris in 1854, however, and is
still not realized by the radical
right-wing of France and Algeria
today.
The war erupted suddenly on
November /, 1854, throughout the
Algerian countryside. The revolt
was led by a group of fervent,
French-educated Algerians who
called themselves the National
Liberation Front (FLN in French) :.
1t started with less than 800
soldiers, but built up in size to
nearly 100000 in four years.
The rebellion caught France by
surprise. France had considered
Algeria the most loyal of it's pos
sessions. Algerian soldiers for
years had fought in the French
army, and Algeria had long ago
been rewarded" by being made
part of metropolitan France.

A Costly War

1t has been a costly war, in
lives, in money, and in less tangible
factors. More than 100000 people
have persisted in these years
most of them Moslem. And it is
estimated that more than $40
billion has been spent in this war
which combined the tactics of
jungle guerrillas with those of
Chicago gunner.
1t has uprooted countless Mos
lem and European families, and
has ended years of compatibility
between Moslem and European
residents of the big Algerian
cities.
Graver, however, was the wars
toll on France. It caused four
successive French governments to
collapse. 1t toppled the Fourth
Republic. 1t divided France. and
lost her considerable honor and
prestige abroad.
1t led the French Army-tra-
ditionally loyal to the govern
ment-to mutiny. and it brought
France to the brink of civil war
three times. Throughout the I'M
derdeveloped areas of the world,
the Algerian War was exploited
by the Communists as an i'm
perialist war, and 1t weakened
NATO since France could not full
fill its obligations. And it alienated
France from the United Nations.

THE WEEK IN PERSPECTIVE
The World Wins in ALGERIA

agree that the Geneva three-ring
circus was heading toward its
inevitable finale-a summit con-
ference of President Kennedy,
Premier Khrushchev and Prime
Minister Macmillan.
1t appears likely that If there
is to be any progress on the major
East-West issues, 1t will have to
happen at the top. A summit, OF
course, does not insure success,
but it would clarity the East's
intentions whether 1t wants a
Berlin settlement, and whether
disarmament of any kind is pos
Sible.

Man of Hope

But this is not the only trouble
facing Mr.. Kennedy, who remains
the man of hope 1--WE can judge
Congress better as the session
goes into the summer than we
can today, he says.
Last week, for example, the OPP
position to his 500 million U. N.
bond plan appeared to be stiff
ening. And one Of the leaders
OF the group pressing an alterna-
tive proposal in the Senate is
Senator Aiken of Vermont, a Re
publican liberal who has often
supported the President.
At the same time. the Senate
was plodding into its second week
of debate on an anti-poll tax
constitutional amendment as
Southern members took the floor
one after another in what some
Of their colleagues, like Senator
Heating, Republican of New York,
said was filibuster.
! 1 With the outcome of the
amendment in doubt, it appeared
that the Senate would be tied
up for most of the coming week
talking about it.
There were, however, two bright
spots for the President on the
Hill last week and, remarkably,
both appeared on the House side.

Stirring Tie Deum

Ernest Popping, a contem-
porary German composer,
furnishes proof through his
TIE Deum (Deutsche Grammo-
phon) that modern music
can be inventive and inter-
esting without being deriva-
tive or self-consciously alb
Stract.
With a stunning soprano
named Agnes Giebel, Bari
tone Horst Guenter and the
Dresden Choir and Philhar-
monte Orchestra under Mar
tin Flaemig, this is one Of
the most impressive new
works we have heard.
The performance is great,
too, doing full credit to the
varied design of the compo-
sition with its equal parts
of solo, choral and orchestral
music. This is something very
worth while owning.

Abstract Anatomy

The same contrast that the
Medals of Dishonor used con-
tinueS in the large abstrac-
tons in the effective play of
actual materials against as
sembled image. This takes
place in a series called "Agri-
cola" with the incorporation
of farm implements into
farm forms; in a large Sen
tinel" made mostly of sawed
up I-beams; in Tank To-
TENS" and in Portrait of a
Lady Painter" where the
shapes of palette, easel and
paint box are mixed in with
The abstract anatomy.
Yet, this is never gag sculp-
tu1'e. The humor arises from
the play Of forms which are
first of all beautifully placed
shapes in space, usually flat
shapes, sometimes three di-
mensional.

Yet all through his career

ObeIisk

The Obelisk Gallery con-
tinueS its service to the COM
munity with a small exhibit
ton of drawings, water colors
and gouache paintings by
Paul Klee.
The work, in a sense, is
all minor, much Of it taken
from the voluminous sketch
books Klee kept all his life.
Yet in the work of Paul Klee
it may be doubted If the dis
tinction between major and
minor work makes as much
sense as it does with most
artists. 1t could be said that
most of his work was minor.
The Klee quality is a flash
OF intuition perfectly ex-
pressed in comically distorted
figures caught in a world
that is funny, pathetic and
occasionally ominous. The
sketches here on view convey
that quality as well as the
larger paintings.
The gift of Klee to our time
is given fully in a late pencil
sketch of a Dancing Lesson, 4"
or in an early set of draw
ings of ludicrouS knights in
tent on mortal combat. More
elaborate compositions, such
as the pastel, Playing With
a Red Ball." prolong the
effect but they do not really
intensity it. Even without
knowing Klee's tragic per-
Sonal history, his lesson for
us is valuable and clear:
How to smile while en- route
to ones execution.

Phillips Collection

Several prece dents are
broken by the Phillips in its
current exhibition of the
sculpture of David Smith,
Sculpture itself is one. The
second is even more impor-
tant. The show is up from
the underground den Of the
old building and into the
spacious ground floor Of the
new wing. Possibly the
change was made necessary
by the sheer size Of some
of the pieces, but it is a good
one, enabling the special,
temporary material to be
seen in immediate juxtaposi-
ton with part Of the per-
manent collection.
The show was organized
by the Museum of Modern
Arts circulating exhibition
department and selected by
Frank O'Hara of the Mus
cum staff. 1t is an extremely
satisfactory review of the
work to date of a major
American sculptor.
David Smith was one of
the pioneer Americans in the
use Of welding for sculpture.
He began in 1888, a good IS
years before welding began
to acquire its present domi-
nance. The difference be-
tween his work and that of
many contemporary art
welderS is that he started out
as a welder, not as an artist.
He is apparently incapable of
the sloppy work so often
done in this field. When,
as an artist, he saw the pos
sibilities of Welding, he al
ready had a thorough tech
nical training and a COM
mand of the tools.

Art, New York, Is planning a
large scale exhibition, to
open in October, Of the
photographs made in the
1930s by the Farm Security
Administration. Under the
direction of Roy Striker, a
brilliant picture editor, the
FSA program was the most
ambitious and successful
large-scale effort in Ameri-
can photography since Mat
thew Brady's coverage Of the
Civil War. Organizing the
October show is Edward
Steichen, creator of the
Family of Man" exhibition
and head of the museums
photography department. The
prints have been at the Ii
brary since the FSA program
was ended and have never
been exhibited as a whole.

RECORD REVIEW

White House Group

as guests Robert Shaw's
Chorale singing Bach's st.
John Passion lin many ways
more beautiful than the st.
Matthew to this AUDITOR.
A year ago the Shavians
sang the B Minor Mass,
which now is available on a
3-record set issued by RCA
Victor.
1t is a stunning account Of
this work, called by most
critics the finest Of all time.
What could be a lengthy.
ponderous performance, Shaw
molds into an exquisitely
light-textured version that
seems much shorter than the
two hours required.
Shaw's way is to use small
forces, in keeping with Bach's
own method. This gives So
loiSts, chorus and orchestra
a perfect balance. The SOLO
lists are top flight-sopranos
Saramae Endich and Adele
Addison, contralto Florence
Kopleff, tenor Mallory Walk
er and bass Ara Berberian.
The instrumental voices are
wondrouS, too.
Some may feel for a time
that q larger chorus adds
strength and conviction to
the big episodes, but Shaw
manages to bring out these
moments dramatically in re-
lation to his other construc-
ton. More than this, he en-
velopes it all in a halo of
spiritual glory. This is a
good start on music for
Easter, or any other time.
