belief in the fundamental prin-
ciples of liberty and Justice as
with our brothers in the Phil
ippines. Many of you attend
ing this Conference as Con-
sular officials will play a
guiding part in the events of
the world developing before
us. This should cause us as
Americans no deep concern
because we know that our as
pirations and our goals in the
world lead to the same end, and
that more than ever in the his
tory of the world, our fates as
nations are ineXtricably bound
together. 1t is, therefore, pc

The 3-day conference was
also addressed by Hon. Luther

Ambassador Mutuc gave the op-

Commerce Secretary Hodges
recalled his November visit to
the Philippines, remarking that
the devaluation of the peso,

Referring to his country's in
tention to increase trade, Mr..
Hodges stated that the u. S. is
getting ready to begin negotia-

The Secretary then turned to
the socio-economic program of

pre-conference day, Ambassador
and Mrs. Mutuc rendered a fell

at the Philippine Embassy. The
delegates were also taken on a
tour of an apple blossom festival
in Winchester County, a tour of
metropolitan Washington, D. c.

luncheon with the Chase Man
haitian Bank.
AS a fitting climax to the Con-

MacapagaI Sends Greetings

N1dCdpdSdl OClluo OlSClihSo
In extending his greetings to
the Conferees, who are gath
cred in a regional conference to
review and discuss mutual
problems and to seek ways and
means of improving their per-
formanCe," President Macapagal
expressed his hope that the
Philippine Embassy in Washing
ton, DC. and the consular eS-
Establishments under its jurisdic-
ton will give greater emphasis
on the economic phase of their
work, particularly in the nipple
mentation of the socio-eConomiC
program to which this admin
stration is deeply committed.
Our consular establishments can
contribute greatly towards the
success of this program by a
more vigorous drive to encour-
age foreign investments, the
promotion of trade and a more
intensified effort to seek new
markets for Philippine export
products.
Vice President and concur
rently Foreign Secretary Pelaez,
in his cabled greetings, also re-
minded the delegates that "our
country expects our consular
establishments to contribute ac-
lively to the national effort, to
attract foreign capital, to secure
technical aid, to increase our
volume of trade, and to enhance
our commercial contacts"
The main task of the Confer
ence was carried out in the COM
.mittee sessions, which tackled
the various facets of the Philip
pine Foreign Service.
The delegates elected Confer
ence officers as follows: DR..
Jose Imperial, chairman; Mini
ster Estela R. Suit, vice chair
man; Manuel A. Viray, secre-
rygeneral.
Business meetings were held
at the Gramercy Inn, across the
street from the Philippine Chan
Gerry.

The Filipino is renowned as

ed that the same approach can
pay off in attracting capital and

Is not dead. thank heaven,
despite Dali's own intensive
efforts to kill 1t. 1t lives and
may be seen locally at the
new show at the Pan Ameri-
can Union, paintings by AL
berto Brandt Of Venezuela.
The paintings themselves
are nothing at all like those
OF the Spanish nonesuch,
being delicate distractions
that occasionally look like
hand-painted collages. But
the titles are purest Dalin-
ian. a lot more so than any,
thing Dali has done since
he got religion.
For example. "Ataulfo de-
posits a mystic papyrus In
the National City Bank" or
"Necrophilic satisfaction In
the outskirts OF Codera
Cape" or yet again, "Cleo-
patra assaulted at West Gen.
trail Park"
The paintings forced TO
bear the burden OF these
lines don't live UP 10 the
promises OF the words, but
paintings are mostly con-
cerned with colors. which

tensity. very thin, and
creased with webs and wrin-
kles. Occasionally, as In ''Dona
Urraca and Don Sancho ad-
vocate birth control" there
seems TO be some connec-
ton between title and scene,
but It's never very clear. Mr..
Brandt is a poet In the long
dormant tradition OF the
Exquisite Corpse and he
ought TO respond more fully

NEW YORK - Everybody

Dickey Gallery

The recently opened Mar
garet Dickey Gallery of Art,
2133 Pennsylvania avenue
NV, is showing five area
artists. Sam Herman has a
suite of figure paintings in
predominantly black and
green which is spoiled in the
middle by an essay in split
level paintings, but the others
are interesting.
10 Merican paints very
clumsily of bits and pieces
or urban life, a park bench
or a lumber yard. Robert
Willis has confected a medi-
um rather like half-set ce-
ment in texture and in it
executes several varieties Of
modern painting Of which
the best thing is a title stolen
from stuart Davis: Hot
Beachscape."
Ralph De Burgos has a
lively if mildly erotic "Danc-
ers" In the manner of the
Matisse cut-outs for Jazz"
an excellent imitation Of
Juan Girls in his classical
cubist phase and an original
work called Eastern Splen-
dor" composed Of brass and
silvery papers and looking
more like the Eastern Shore
at about 8 pm. on a Satur-
day night.
The best hope in the show
is Delilah Pierce, whose heav-
lily knitted pictures Of pines
trees and harbors are mod
est and moving.

Art Galleries, Ltd.

New York painter Budd
Hopkins, opening today at
Art Galleries. Ltd, operates,
on the contrary, safely in
the center of contemporary
convention, but he has mas
tered the manner and ma
terials and has no visible
pretensions about crisis and
zeitgeist. He. too, wants pri-
marily to paint pleasing pic
lures and he too succeeds.
The first impression is Of
muted colors, but within the
quietness there are perfectly
placed flashes Of brightness.
A typical procedure for Mr..
Hopkins is to quarter a can
vas roughly, painting the
quarters in related shades Of
dim tones, say an olive and
q gray above, a brown and a
gray-blue below. Then, over
this basic division, he works
a flashy structure Of brush
work, predominantly hori-
zontal or vertical, never
both at once, never neither
one. This structure is also
fairly dark, but 1t is light
ened, here and there, by
purest white or yellow. or red
perhaps, like the edge Of a
cloud suddenly showing re-
flected sunlight.
Such is the essential man.
ner. The principal variation
of this is to include hard
edge shapes as extra ele-
ments, forms, for examples,
that might be a red E or M
afloat in the air. The three
realities of paint, hard-edge,
dim vagueness, and smears
with flashes, are beautifully
balanced and managed each
against the others to produce
surfaces and the illusions Of
forms Of great visual inter-
est.
Like Mr.. Schmid. Mr.. Hop
kins is around 80 with the
world before him. There is
evident in almost all the
work a kind of memory OF
landscape; it would be fasci-
mating to see what he could
do with the real Mccoy.

Arts Division Is showing re-
cent etchings by Liliana
Gramberg, mostly mono
chromatic and all executed
with great technical COM
mand.
There is q great deal Of
variation in the look of
things; Miss Gramberg
passes readily from q land
scape abstracted into great
Jumps of texture and weight,
to Fransconi-like visions of
the season of spring, to dark
ling views of Italian piazzas,
to a very sensitive study of
a girls head. The manner
changes in almost every
etching, though not the au-
thority of the etcher.
The final impression is Of
a printmaker who has
learned a great deal about
intaglio printmaking and is
not yet entirely sure what to
do with the knowledge.

OCner enduring pleIoIlelld
that are supposed to make
older enduring artists throw
their paint at their can
vases and younger ones
endlessly copy the outlines
of soft drink bottles.
Mr.. Schmid does neither
Of these things. He paints
quiet and shimmering pic
lures Of village green's ir
Connecticut, verdant dells in
the Midwest, old farm build
ings, nice-looking women
and glowing still life ar
rangements. The manner is
loose yet accurate. There is
great visual pleasure In paint
strokes and in color juxta-
positions, yet these felicities
always take place in a vi
sion Of firm reality which
itself is pleasant to see.
Trees in Sunlight
For the viewer brought up
in the world of postwar
American art, such a course
by a young painter seems
treason to the times. After
all, here we are, fragmented
personalities, terrorized by
physics, vulgarized by neon,
sanitized by air-condition-
ing: how can an artist pre-
sumo to paint trees in the
sunlight?
The easy manner is to dis
miss the artist as no true
artist at all and thus pre-
serve the definition of art as
only that which expresses
the crisis Of our time in slop-
piness or vulgarity.
Another approach suggests
that the fields, the old barns.
the picnic in the open, all
these things still do exist,
along with the moods they
evoke. Therefore the artist
is justified in painting them.
Beyond that, the fact may
well be that the mind Of
man, even Of modern man,
is more versatile than many
observers In the art world
give 1t credit for. 1t may be
that a man can think about
the unthinkable. as they say
at the Pentagon, and at the
same time be capable of see
ing wild flowers and birds in
flight.
On the Trail
AS examples, consider Sec
retary Udall and Mr.. Justice
Douglas; both occupy CEN
tral positions In a couple Of
our better crises: the threat
ening water shortage and
the achieving of racial
equality. Yet both men are
longtime walkers along the
c & o canal. 1t is barely
possible they do their walk
ing to get away from their
crises, to escape" 1t is much
more likely, judging from
published descriptions Of
them and nv them that hoth
