These are but a few of the

famous smile in the world
the smile on Leonardo da
Vincis Mona Lisa.
The mystery wakes anew
now that the priceless paint
ing has been brought to
America from the Louvre in
Paris, to go on exhibition at
the National Gallery of Art
today and then in New York's
Metropolitan Museum.
During her visit here, hun
dreds of thousands will stand
before "The Lady" and pom
der the smile.
What indeed is behind it?
1t is by no means a rhetor-
ical question. Not only have
generations asked it, but the
Government of Italy not long
ago appropriated $4,000 to
try to solve the identity of
the woman in the portrait
and hence provide a clue to
the reason for her smile.
Meanwhile, one can only
speculate about the smile,

even If to do so amounts to

Of one art lover. when a
lady smiles" wrote this de-
votee, "the true gentleman
will not question it but mere
ly appreciate it. Only the
cad, or in some instances the
masochistic, would try to look
behind the smile to see what
1t really means"
So We Ponder
But let's be cads and pom
der further.
An optometrist has sug-
gested that the smile indi-
Gates a great case of myopia
on the part of the artist.
In an entirely serious vein,
DR.. Kenneth D. Keele, a Eel
low of Britain's Royal Col
lege of Surgeons, has ad-
vanced the conclusion that
the Mona Lisa's expression
reveals "the blessed situation
of pregnancy"
Wrote DR.. Keele: "She sits
we'll back in the chair with
her back supported. She is
turned slightly to the right
with what appears to be a
heavy sorrow. She shows ma
tronly outlines that would
not be expected in a "a
year-old Florentine model,
and there is a heavy verti-
cal falling of the dress into
her lap, suggesting preg-
nancy"
Even Sigmund Freud made
a contribution to the specula-
Evening star., 1963-01-09

ton. In his classic work,
Leonardo da Vinci. a Study
in PSychosexuality," DR..
Freud observed that the
Mona Lisa smile had never
been adequately explained. So
he offered a theory of his
own that the expression on
her face was the remembered
smile of the artists mother.
And this from an imagi-
nary biography of Mona Lisa
by c. P. Snow: THE March,
ioness of Mantua wanted Da
Vinci to paint her. but it was
said he had grown impatient
of painting. Mona Lisa
smiled a little maliciously
and had her husband raise
the price, and Da Vinci
agreed to paint her. Some
times an expression of sad
ness or boredom settled on
her face, and, to get her to
smile, Da Vinci made jokes.
Finally, he brought in mu-
sicians and singers to inveigle
her into cheerfulneSs." In
other words, a forced smile.
Women Scheme
Perhaps the answer to the
mystery is not nearly as deep
as these theories suggest.
Mona Lisa was, after all, a
woman. And as a pSycholo-
gist and a woman, may I sug-
gest: What woman doesn't
scheme?
1t is just possible, then,
that the smile on the Mona
Lisa is a vague sign that the
lady has just been told that
one of her master plans has
worked out.
1t is not feminine to fight,
but it is feminine to manage
sweetly but forcefully. AS
they scheme, a smile of mys-
terry frequently dabbles at the
corners of their mouths. And

Glen Canyon to Shiprock
Transmission Line to
Experiment with 'Copter Use

The Bureau of Reclamation will
issue bid invitations in late March
for installing experimental trans
mission towers along an eight t-mile
stretch of its Glen Canyon to
Shiprock transmission line in
northeastern Arizona. Secretary
of the Interior Stewart L. Udall
reported today.
The experimental towers are of
seven different designs. some of
aluminium construction and some
of latciced or tubular steel. All are
substantially lighter than towers
of conventional design A total of
81 towers is to be inStalled--four
each of the special lightweight
designs, and four Standard-type
steel towers. The successful
bidder will also string conductors
for the 23O-kilovolt line.
Each bidder will be asked to
quote on installation by conven-
tional methods, and also to quote
on erecting IA of the experimental
towers by helicopter. Acceptance
or rejection of installation by air
will be at Reclamation's option.
Helicopter installation in the
particular area is not a necessity,
since the terrain is accessible to
motor vehicles. However. Reclaim

Equal Employment Opportunity
on a permanent basis with en-
1OrcemenL powers.
Q Creation of a Community
Relations Service to act as a
mediation agency to relieve racial
tensions by working with re-
gional, State or local committees.
This would encourage voluntary
solutions to racial disputes before
they hit the courts.
. Voting protection for Negroes
