ART AND ARTISTS
Reuben Nokion Show at Gallery
Of Modern Art Highly Significant

all, The details are only those
Of large black steel plates
and the rods which hold
them aloft. But the placing
Of the plates upon the rods
evokes memories of other
artists treatment Of the
theme. There is movement
and there are swelling forms,
all created by the unlikely
rectangular shapes.
PraisewOrthy Show
The Gallery is especially to
be commended for this par
ticular presentation, for the
best known previous such
work by the artist. THE Rape
Of Lucrece," was exhibited,
for about two years, in a
closed stairwell of the Mu-
scum Of Modern Art and was
impossible to see.
The third section Of works
is in what seems to be the
artist chief manner, in Ell
ther bronze or, preparatory
to bronze, in plaster, cloth
and metal. The themes are
the same and again he works
in a kind of blindfold man
ner, like an old time bar
rom piano-player challeng-
ing himself to play with his
elbows or with his back
turned to the keyboard.
Again, from shapes with no
immediate relation to the an
nounced subject he succeeds
in bringing before us the
lyrical energy of the theme.
The central work here is
from the other end of the
Mediterranean, a "Maja" al
most eight feet long and
overflowing with the life-giv-
ing curves of Goya's girl.
Finally there is a He
cuba" named for a Gold Star
mother Of the Trojan War
which astonishingly suggests,
with no direct reference, the
sorrowful flow to the earth
Of many an early Pieta.

caught up in endless varia-
tions on the theme of peopling
the earth. In Greek myth
that generational role is
largely represented by the
sexual activities of Zeus, the
king of the gods. The COM
parison Is valuable because
it reminds us that Zeus, or
Jupiter, was not a mere Don
Juan who got his kicks by
dressing up in funny cos
tunes. He was divinely seri-
ious and the result of his
activities invariably was that
men should be like gods,"
which, from several points Of
view, is also the product Of
the patriarchal lineage Of
Genesis. Today in the West.
whether one is Jew, Christian
or atheist evolutionist, the
theme of Genesis Is extremely
relevant to the idea of mans
end. So is the theme Of zeVs.
1t is with this theme that
the art of Reuben Nakian is
mostly concerned. On the
level Of operation most easily
within reach, Nakian makes
dozens of small figure groups
in terra Gotta, either in the
round, and sometimes
painted to suggest 18th CEN
tury china figurines, or in
cised into flat plaques. The
visitor to the exhibition pre-
viously unfamiliar with the
artist ought to start with
these small images.
Wonderful Lightness
In them all is a wonderful
lightneSs. In one large glass
case - ingeniously installed
are eight or ten plaques
dealing with Leda and the
Swan. The carving of the two
figures is quite explicit both
in central detail and in the
nature Of the action. Yet it
is not the details that carry
the theme. 1t is the spirit
of the artist. made visible in
the knowledgeable Joy Of ev-
cry cut into the surface. Leda
and her feathered friend are
seen in notable variations,
but the true metamorphosis
is that wrought by the art
lists hand upon dead clay.
This applies also to the
single piece in what is prob
ably the artists most widely
known style. a l3 foot long
arrangement Of welded steel
plates and rods, Mars and
Venus" Steel is intractable
compared to clay; steel plates
and rods are very intracta-
BILE. But again, on this enor-
nous scale. the artist has in
corporated these materials
into a breathing. elated, VIZ

gods.

Washington likes nothing
better than witty quotes
from the high and mighty.
For the past week the more
political and social drawing
rooms have echoed with ex-
cerpts from speeches made at
that ultra chic, all-male,
journalistic white-tie banquet
known as the Gridiron Club
dinner.
President Kennedy. who
will definitely 60 down as
one Of our wittier Presidents,
not only gave the best speech,
but In so doing he appar-
emily gave Soviet Ambassador
Dobrynin a scare that he is
probably just now getting
over.
In the same grave manner
with which he addressed the
nation on the Cuban crisis,
he began by saying he had
a serious announcement to
make. The Russians, he had
learned, we're deploying forces
in an area Of special and his
torical interest, and we could
tolerate the situation no
longer.
AS AMBASSADOR Do
BRYNIN looked more I'M
comfortable by the minute,
he went on describing the
new intrusion, and finally
wound UP saying that we re-
scented the installation of Mr..
Alexei Adzhubei in the Vat
lean.
I'VE are now eyeball-to-
eyeball across the Holy See,"
said the President, adding
that there we're even rumors
that Marxist bibles were hid
den in the caves Of the Vat
lean. Ambassador Dobrynin
laughed as heartily as the
rest.
With the chuckles still re-
sounding In the room, Mr..
Kennedy went on to say he
had taken the opportunity
that evening to ask the Chief
Justice about his school bill,
and was happy to report that
"the Chief Justice assured
me that my school bill is
very constitutional. 1t hasn't
got a prayer.
With reference to attacks
by a couple Of well-known
columnists, he said the Vice
President came in the other
day complaining that he had
been "Fleesonized." II told
him." said Mr.. Kennedy,
that l would rather be
Fleesonized than Krocked."
His audience howled.
According to an insider
the President also contrib
uted a line to Senator HUI
bert Humphreys hilarious
speech. When the Democratic
whip said he had been
studying UP on two refer
ence books "Bartlett's Quo
tations" and "Alsop's Fables"
he was having some fun
with the Cuban crisis article
by Charles Bartlett and Joe
Alsop. But his listeners might
have gotten a still bigger
kick out of it had 1t known

most quoted comment was

ton: 1T is true" he said,
that a little man can beat
a big man. David beat
Goliath. But I want TO point
out it's so unusual that 5000
years later they are still
talking about It,"
Gov. George Romney Of
Michigan seemed to have
upped his chances as a
@. o. p. presidential aspir-
ant by the grace and humor
Of his speech before an au-
dience that has quietly laid
to rest other hopefuls Of the
past.
He wouldn't want TO be
President. he said, because he
had seen how hard 1t was
for the President to find
jobs for all his brothers, and
he would be in a tougher

The Justice Department,
however, faces a practical
problem which may force the
administration to seek another
solution. There are simply not
enough lawyers to take on the
many hundreds of school dis
tricts in the South alone where
suits could be brought under
this bill.
Present administration think
ing is to favor legislation to
give desegregation cases top
priority in the courts-to move
them along faster.
This is the same approach as
the administration is seeking in
the voting rights measure sent
to Congress last month. Among
other things the voting rights
bill would expedite voting cases
by requiring that judges be ap-
pointed to handle such cases
Immediately and handle them
in the most expeditions way
possible.
The Justice Department has
found in the voting cases that
some have been pending close
to two years without a trial
date being set. The administra-
ton would attack the same de-
lays in the desegregation cases.
Crises in the field of civil
rights have been developing so
fast that the policy-makers
have been buster putting out
the fires and taking the neces-
sary court actions than formu-
lating their revised plans.
Thus, Attorney General Ken
nedy, who had expected to be
ready with the answers to an
expected variety of questions
posed by the House Judiciary
Committee this week, had to
ask for a postponement Of his
appearance until June IL.
The White House, however, is
expected to announce its re-
vised civil rights approach be-
fore that date.

Struction of the bridge. The
transportation agency's high

not give commuters a fair

In effect, the Presidential
recommendation would accept

The President is expected to
recommend further study of

The decision was based on the
opinion that only around 5000

Rail Line Priority
The agency recently has
placed a priority on signed
agreements with the Virginia
Highway Department for a
right-of-way for its rail transit
line in the Three Sisters trans
portation carrier, along Inter-
state Route 66 to Fairfax City.
This agreement is expected to
be completed by September Of
this year.
One administration spokes-
man said this line would be
built as soon as possible, to
demonstrate that the Three
Sisters bridge would not be
needed.
The transportation agency has
asked for permission to build
five rail transit lines, including
a downtown subway linking
Union Station and the Capitol
buildings.
If completed and in opera
ton in 1869 as planned, passen-
/ gers would be able to ride
downtown from stations along
the line near the Wisconsin
avenue corridor. This line would
be in operation as far west as
