Soviet Critics Rap U.S. Art-And That's Good Sign

show in the two-and-a-half
weeks since it's opening. USIA
had counted on only about 1000
a day when the show opened.
The Soviet critics have dis
tinguished carefully between
the realistic" works which one
review said attract the viSi-
tors" and other works which,
the same critics said, have
very little light in them, very
little humaneness, little Of that
enobling clarity and simplicity
which real art possesses"
One drawing which drew con-
siderable criticism was Ellen
RaSkin'S crayon portrait of F.
M. Dostoyevsky, the Russian
writer, done for a cover Of the
jubilee edition of his works.
I'm the first place, it is hard
to call this sketch a portrait, it
is so primitive" one Soviet
critic said. But the most i'm
portant thing is what we see
in this drawing-not giant of
thought, not a great writer who
knew how to uncover the most
complex secrets of the human
soul, but some kind of frowning
peasant-forester with an angu-
lar forehead and an excessively
large head which looks like a
hat block set on stopped, mar
row little shoulders.

"And this pitiful little man,

expected someone to hit him, is
presented to thousands of read
ers as F. M. Dostoyevsky."
USIA officials say the criti-
ciSm on the whole has been
fuller and better rounded than
in previous years. Part of the
reason seems to be the i'm
proved state of East West re-
lations.
They suspect that the critics
have been motivated by a de-
sire to say some good things
about the United States with
out indorsing the alien views
on art. Thus, one critics main
theme was that he was deeply
disappointed" by the works.
USIA officials admit they
knew the abstract and avant-
garde works would shock many
average Soviet viewers-condi-
toned to a steady diet of real
ism-but they said that omit
ting such works would give
Russians a distorted impress
sion of American graphic arts,
which thrive on non-represen-
rational forms.
The exhibit is one of several
that have been sent to Russia
as part of the Soviet American
cultural exchange agreement.

United States Information
Agency officials are delighted
these days with the unfavor-
able press notices their latest
travelling exhibition has re-
ceived from Soviet critics.
We've really drawn blood
this time" one USIA man said
today in commenting on the
most recent attack on the
graphic arts show, presently in
Alma-Ata, capital of Soviet
Kazakhstan.
USIA officials Judge the
worth of their Soviet exhibi-
tons on a scale roughly like
this: The harsher and more
frequent the criticism, the
more impact it is having on
Soviet audiences.
The graphic arts show is
particularly provocative, be-
cause it contains abstract
Autographs, book covers, ad-
vertisements, and the like,
rarely if ever seen in Russia.
In Soviet terms, this is "bour-
geoise theology" at its worst.
There have been four long
articles in Soviet publications
about the exhibition, which

He said Britain must con-

Foreign Secretary sits at the
peace table as of right"
War Near Three Times
In a departure from his pre-
pared text, Sir Alec told his
audience that during his three
years as Foreign Secretary the
major powers had been on the
brink of war three times. Ques-
toned by newsmen later he
said he referred to the situa-
tons in Cuba, Berlin and Laos.
In the prepared text, Sir Alec
held open new vistas for peace.
There is chance that we
may have crossed the water
shed of danger in our relations
with the Soviet Union" he
said.
IF this proves to be so, then
new possibilities would open up
in the field of disarmament
and control of nuclear weapons
If these hopes are realized
then negotiation would come
to replace force and threats Of

A step forward in easing in

was the signing of the treaty

Credit Snaus
Sale Of Corn
To Hungary
Reds Reluctant
To Provide Dotu
Asked by Bunk

The $4.3 million Hungarian
corn deal, authorized by the
Commerce Department this
week. may collapse over a
credit problem with the Ex-
port-Import Bank, informed
sources said today.
In approving the licenses to
American firms to sell the corn
to the Hungarians, the Com
merce Department said the
sales would be financed over
an 18-month period by New
York banks.
The New York banking in
dustry, however, has agreed to
arrange the credits only if the
Export-Import Bank, an in
dependent agency of the Gov
eminent, stands behind Hun
gary as a guarantor that she
will not default.
Data Requested
But in discussions in Wash
ington yesterday and Thursday.
Export Import and Hungarian
officials failed to reach agree
nent. The bank officials wanted
the Hungarian trade mission
to submit detailed financial
Information as to their credit
situation.
Such information normally
consists of the amount of a
country's gold reserves, foreign
exchange and trade balance.
But Communist countries
have additionally treated such
economic information as highly
classified and therefore not for
Western consumption.
The roadblock is embarrassing
to administration officials who
have sought to increase trade
with Eastern Europe. State De-
partment officials believe the
banks are being super-conserv-
alive since there is little chance
of Hungary defaulting in her
payments.

Hope Fades for 80
In German Iron Mine
q Additional
Men May
Escape

BROISTEDT, Germany, Oct.
26 (AP). Authorities today
abandoned hope for 80 miners
trapped in a flooded iron mine
since Thursday night, but said
four other men are expected
to be saved.
Seventy nine men escaped
within three hours Of the dam
burst, which spilled thousands
of gallons Of water into the
mine from an ore-washing res
ervoir and sealed it at both
ends. Seven more men were
hauled out on a raft last night
after the water level dropped
to open up one end of the
arched gallery.
Riding across the 100 yards
Of water mostly in pairs, the
seven emerged soaked in mud
but uninjured. They we're taken
to a hospital.
Relatives Storm Office
The heart breaking an
nouncement by the mine
management today came after
IL relatives of the missing
men, who had been keeping a
steady vigil since the disaster,
stormed the mine office de-
handing information.
An official of the Langede
mine company emerged and
informed them that hope had
been abandoned for the 80, but
that four others would prob
ably be saved.
The women broke into walls
of grief before walking away
many supported by relatives.
Rescue workers, many Of
whom had toiled all through
the night, continued their
search despite the announce
ment
The management declined to
give any other details but it
is believed the four are huddled
i'm a chamber in the east
section Of the mine, with their
escape blocked by water.
Boring Escape Route
Engineers bored through the
ground to open a shaft so a
narrow communications tube
could be pushed down to the
gallery.
This tube would first estab-
fish whether any men were
still living, and if so, enable
food and drink to be sent
! down. If any are found alive
a wider boring will be made
: so they can be hauled to the
surface.
Experts said this would take
! two or three days.
Fathers Of ~ Children
Some of the 80 men are be-
lieved trapped in chambers
Of the mines water-swept
gallery. as far as 300 feet be-
low ground.
They we're reported to range
in age between 26 and 81. All
were said to be married and
fathers of a total of n chill
dren.
Rescue leaders told a news
conference later that experts
are go per cent certain" that
the four men are in a gallery
blocked from rescue by water.
After escape of the seven
men on RATS, a search team
penetrated one mile through
the eastern section of the mine
in a rubber boat, but radioed
back it found no sign of the
missing men.
