have been reliable reports
that 10 Russian nuclear-
powered subs are in commits
sion or nearly so, and that the
Soviet atomic sub fleet may
double by the end Of 1868.
The United States now has
81 nuclear- powered submarines,
nine of them Polaris missile
firing craft. Within the next
year, the United States atomic
sub force is due TO grow to Al
including l8 Polarises. It has
lis conventional submarines
for a total OF l42.
This country commissioned
its first nuclear sub. the Maui
titus. eight years ago.
Soviet "Blunder" Cited
AS late as six years ago. the
Russians put on a massive sub
building campaign - turning
out about 85 new vessels in
1856 alone. But they were
diesel-powered boats and this
was a serious strategic
blunder," said Vice Admiral
Elton w. Grenfell. submarine
force commander with the At
lantic Fleet.
The Russians evidently real
lized this. because they sud-
denly stopped building conven-
tional subs and began gearing
for production OF nuclear sub
marines armed with missiles,
Admiral Thach said.
The Soviet navy's nuclear
sub-building program is doing
better than expected" he said,
and he declared. II know OF no
reason 10 doubt" Russian claims
that they have fired ballistic
missiles from submerged craft.
II appears likely. Admiral
Thach said, that the Russians
gradually will replace their 400
or more conventional subma-
rines with nuclear powered
craft-"if not boat for boat,
then on a ratio Of perhaps two
Of the new for three Of the old. :"
265 A-Subs Possible
Projected across the entire
Soviet sub fleet, this ratio would
mean about 265 Russian nu-
clear powered submarines even
tually.

American nuclear submarine
force will total 81 boats-4i OF

the best BosSa Nova records

duces the kind Of colorful
music we would be happy to
hear in any ballroom. An
other Brazilian recording. la
beled Big Band Bossa Nova,
features Oscar Castro-Neves
and his orchestra. A little
too big for this listener.
Audio Fidelity's Dauntless

steel band record called Linn
DO Twist. For anybody timber
enough to get under the pole,
1t may be fun. Three untypi-
cal numbers are Moon River,
Funiculi Funicula and Swan

For accordion afficionados,
there's a good one in Joe

thousands haven't noticed
the rise Of art as dinner par
ties, Of course, is that they've
all been preoccupied going to
dinner parties.
Such inability to see. be-
cause Of being too close to
the object was remarked on
by Edgar Allen Poe and is
nothing new in art history.
The builders of the cathe-
drals in France all labored
under the humble deluSion
that they were just building
bigger and better churches.
1t wasn't until centuries after
they we're dead and gone that
we discovered what they'd
really been doing was invent
ing and developing Gothic
Architecture.
Not Just Painting
Likewise, poor old Claude
Monet. to the end Of his days,
sincerely believed he was just
painting pictures Of his water
garden and his lilac bridge.
This delusion is understand
able because Monet had had
the garden laid on solely to
give himself something to
paint. But he was wrong all
the same and about five years
ago we learned that what
he'd really been doing was
inventing Abstract Express
Sionism.
So 1t is with Art as Dinner
Parties. Mr.. Heckscher, Mr..
Stevens and a cast Of thou
sands daily deliver lectures
and publish sumptuously IL
lustrated articles about the
skyrocket rise Of American
art in recent years. The rise
they have witnessed is really
that Of Art as Dinner Parties.

one thing. Also, Washington
has a society at once more
closely knit and more open
than those of other cities,
due to the Capitals having
but two major industries:
Government and dry clean
ing. With dinner parties an
important factor in both in
dustries, 1t was natural that
Art as Dinner Parties
would flourish here. In re-
cent months, that promise
has been amply fulfilled.
Future art historians may
trace the local rise through
the gradual change Of the
nature of participation at our
especially local art museum,
the Corcoran Gallery of Art.
Time was the place was run
by a board of local business
men whose interest in art. If
any, was totally peripheral to
their participation in the af-
fairs of the gallery. Equally
peripheral, 1T should be
noted, was their interest, If
any, in dinner parties. In
those days people ate because
they were hungry and had
parties because they wanted
a good time.
On the Way
Later the Corcoran added
a Women's Committee and
the first faint signs Of Art
as Dinner Parties could have
been diScerned by anyone
with the gift Of reading the
future. More lately still, the
pace has added the Friends
of the Corcoran and future
art historians are certain to
note that whenever an in
stitution's friends begin
using the upper case F, Art
as Dinner Parties has begun.
The most spectacular man
Hesitation to date has been
the opening of the Washing
ton Gallery of Modern Art,
which at moments seemed to

of American painting opening
January 18 at the Corcoran

rector Hermann Warner Will
liams, ir., has invited 'l18
paintings, to which a jury has
added 81 chosen from over
1000 submissions from every
state in the union except
Alaska and South Dakota.
While the Corcoran Biennial
does not set out to be a cross
section of current American
painting, it usually is one in
spite of itself and the new
show is expected to be no ex-
ception.
Next in the Corcoran's Sc
ries of one man shows for
area artists is that for Clare
Ferriter, opening January %.
AS far as creative exhibi-
ton work goes, the major ef-
fort of the year in town will
open at the Corcoran on April
26. This is THE New Tradi-
ton: Modern American Art
Before 1940." Bringing to-
gether lis paintings, draw
ings and sculpture, the show,
the first solo effort Of Cor
coran assistant director Gud-
mund Vigtel, will certainly
surprise art lovers who be-
lieve modern American paint
ing began about 1850.
Others in Offing
Meanwhile, the CONNER
cial galleries, too. will be
showing art which may or
may not provide the occasion
for dinner parties. On the
whole, the tendency is less
pronounced there than at the
museums. IFA is planning
a January exhibition Of re-
cent work by some Of the
first rate American print
makers the gallery represents
here, including Harold Alt
man. Leonard Basking and
Gabor Peterdi.
The Bader Gallery is in
Producing, in January, a
young German artist, Anita
Bucherer. Fernando Mazo. of
Brazil, is showing recent
work at the Henri Gallery in
January. The months high
point in these galleries is now
expected to be the exhibition
of paintings by James Stro-
botne at the Obelisk. The
young painter is one Of the
leading post-abstract Ameri-
can artists.
A combination with great
dinner party possibilities is
the sponsorship Of drawings
and prints by Jean Cocteau
by the Institute Of Contem-
porary Arts TO be held at the
Corcoran on Jan. 8. the same
day the Mona Lisa opens TO
the public at the National
Gallery.
The Hidden Lisa
Like all great new move
ments, Art as Dinner Par
ties easily and Immediately
answers questions otherwise
unanswerable. In recent days,
for instance Washingto-
mans have been asking them
selves why the Mona Lisa has
to repose in the cellars OF
the National Gallery for some
two and a half weeks instead
OF being shown TO the school
children NOV on Christmas
vacation.

as looking at pictures, there
was no answer. Under the
new theory. there's no prob
