By the time he joined
the gallery, selections and
preparations for the five
major exhibitions this year
were almost complete. He
will have charge of their
installation, however. He
favors sparse installation"
he said, "a bit on the drama

His aim in presentation is
to Salty both the casual
visitor, who comes in with
little knowledge of the works
exhibited, and the educated
viewer: To present detailed

Star Staff Writer

A young man who thinks
children should be given a
pretty free rein in art gall
leries, and that museums
should cater to the unedu-
Gated and art-educated alike
is the current standout at the
Corcoran Gallery Of Art.
Mr.. Richard A. Madigan,
newly appointed assistant di-
rector at the Corcoran, is
only 26 years old and, &C
cording to a gallery spokes-
man, the youngest man in
the country to hold such a
post.
Although he has been on
the job since July, getting
acquainted with the myriad
aspects of his work, he was
not officially introduced I'M
til yesterday. Director Her
mann Warner Williams, jr.
held a small cocktail party in
his office to present Mr..
Madigan to the trustees and
the press.
Mr.. Madigan has come
from Ithaca, N. Y, where he
was a director Of the Andrew
Dickson White Museum at
Cornell University. Prior to
that he was on the staff of
the Corning Glass Center
and, working backwards, a
student at the University Of
Delaware in the field of
American Studies. He earlier
attended Drew University In
Madison, N. j.
Son Explores Museum
Married and the father Of
a two-year-old boy, Mr.. Ma
digan said his son has
grown up" with art. He ex-
planned that ever since the
boy was able to toddle, not
very long ago, he was given
the run of the Cornell mu-
scum and allowed to discover
what he wanted to discover.
But that was a much
smaller museum" he added.
While he believes that chill
dren should be allowed to
feel as well as look at art
C"Sculpture is meant to be
touched, unless it's very
fragile. he temperS his
ideals with a practical under
standing of why large
museums insist on the hands
off policy.
He recalled one Cornell
exhibition Of Lipchitz sculp-
ture, including IS major
works, where gentle handling
was allowed. "The youngsters
had a marvellous time. If they
can touch the workS-not
the paintings, Of course -
that's an important part of
their education"
The Corcoran doesn't allow
it for the sensible reason that
some pieces are too destruct-
ible and one can't follow the
visitor around pointing out
which Is and which isn't. But
in the Art Rental Gallery on
the first floor, run by Mrs.
Inga Wall, the rule doesn't
hold.
Prepares for Japan
Mr.. Madigan has already
demonstrated his enterprise.
Told that he would be going
to Japan next summer to
select works for the major
exhibition Of the following

summer tourists. The fall
off in tourists from the win
ter months seems q shame
to him, with the gallery
free. wide open and in such
a endouS location
(around the block from the
White House," he said. He
means to contact the tour
ing agencies, mapping COM
panies and any other such
services he can think of to
help encourage more sum-
mer traffic.
Replaces Mr.. Vigtel
The young assistant di-
rector replaces Mr.. Gudmund
Vigtel, who left the gallery
May 10 to become head of
the Atlanta Art Association.
He is a member of the
American Association of Mu-
SeumS, the New York State
Association of Museums and

Most gardeners and bird low
ers are prone to wait for snow
before starting their winter bird
feeding program. But if we wait
until then, many birds will have
left for better feeding grounds.
Thus, the early start is neces-
sary to encourage them to re-
main in the garden. However,
there is one drawback to this if
it is to be successful; namely,
the feeders must be kept sup
piled continuously.
A great many kinds of birds
spend their winters in the Wash
ington area. A greater variety
of birds in your garden can be
encouraged through different
types Of bird feeders and bird
food. Large feeders are likely to
be invaded by starlings, mock
ing birds and bluejays which
will drive away our smaller
feathered friends.
Many new types of bird feed
ers have been introduced, and
the prospective buyer mig h t
well note those which are best
adapted for the birds desired.
Bird feeders, to be of greatest
enjoyment to the gard e n er,
should be so located that they
are readily visible from indoors.
of course, the windowsill feed
ers are ideal from this angle.
Also, one should consider the
accessibility Of the feeders dur

ARUBA, Netherlands An
titles. - There was piano
music coming from the
house. 1t is a place Of broad
caves, with pastel c Olore d
walls shoulder high, and col
ored lights inside. The music
was fast and Latin; the voice
was a man with a husky
tone, whispering "Abo So"
which means "Only You" 1t
was night, a cool perfumed
night when birds are rocked
to sleep in the palm branches
and only the swallows are ad-
venturouS.
Behind the house in 0ran-
jeStad a Dutch freighter, la
den with lights, swung silent
ly on the tide and turned
home for Rotterdam. Padu
heard the deep blast Of the
ship, and stopped his music
to listen. His hands hung on
the keys of the piano and, for
a moment, he was dreaming
of far off places.
PADU LOOKS LIKE a
young James Mason. He has
the thick black hair, almost
uncombed, and the shaggy
browS and q ue stin G eyes.
Padu in Papiamento means
grandfather, but Padu is not
a grandpa. He is an artist.
He is more than that-and
less, toO-because Padu is a
man fighting to express him
self.
He was born on this 21-mile
paradise island. His true
name is Juan Ch a baya
Lampe and, some nights,
when / get Caracas on the
radio, l hear him sing the
swift swinging tumbaS of Aru-
ba. In Venezuela, he is a
hero. At home, his wife Daisy
listens to him and feels nerv-
GUS.
There are $1,000 people
spread over a score of villag-
es in Aruha, and everyone
speaks liltingly about Padu
de Carib. There are other
painters on the island; other
musicians; other authors-but
no one does them all like
Padu. Truly, he is not great
at any of them, but the peo-
pie understand the fire in his
heart and they know he did
the things he has done with
out study.
He swings around on the
piano stool to talk to his
friend Michael Kuiperi, who
administers the tourist de-
partment of Aruba, and Mrs.
Kuiperi. Padu punches out
ward with his haadS when he
talks of music or writing. He
can play anything on the pi-
ano, but he cannot read a

Without Studying

note. He does not fake the
bass; he plays 1t. He compos-
es the music Of the gay tum-
bas, and he writes the lyrics.
The things which are differ
ent about Padu are different
about Arub a-eyerything.
Other Latin countries have
rhumbaS; Aruba has tunbas.
Some Latin countries speak
Spanish; some speak Portu-
guese. This island speaks Pa
piamento - which is Span
ish, Dutch, Portuguese and
French-all in one language,
with the A m eric a n words
"Okay" and Payday" add
ed.
Here, a child In the sixth
grade of elementary school
who cannot speak at least
three languageS-PapiamentO,
Dutch and EngliSh-is a rare
one. Padu went as far as
high school, but he has a
book called "The Third Ele-
ment," published in the Unit
ed States by Carlton Press. It
is an exposition of psycholo-
gy, metaphysics and science,
all pointing toward faith in
God.
He plays guitar too. And an
instrument called the Cuatro,
which is a ukulele with
strings in the wrong places.
There is another one called
the wiri, which looks like a
metal crater for horse radiSh
and a gourd called the raspo.
Padu plays an Aruban waltz,
and Kuiperi accompanies him
on the raspo.
There are five Padu music
albums which sell well in
South America, but he does
not make his living at this.
He is an electrical contractor.
Five men work for him and
Padu never studied electrical
engineering. He is an accom-
piShed hypnotist, and he never
studied that. A few years ago
he was elected to Legislative
Council, and he never studied
politics. His oil paintings of
Aruba landscapes have won
prizes in South America and
at the 1889 Worlds Fair, but
he never studied painting.
IN FACT, 100 OF HIS can
vases hang in taStefully dec
GRATED homes. They depict
forests Of palm trees, shallow
wadis with natives bathing,
and Dutch windmills. Padu
does not know what school of
painting he follows. The tum-
ba, as he plays the music, is
lightning fast, but he cannot
explain what a tumba is. If
you have ever heard a ma
rimba, you are close.
Padu is a most unusual
