Mona Lisa Makes American Debu
President Opens Exhibition at National Gallery

Il must know further that
this painting has been kept
under careful French control;
and that France has even
sent along its own command
er-in-chief, Mr.. Malraux. And
I want to make 1t clear that,
grateful as we are for this
painting, we will continue to
press ahead with the effort
to develop an independent
artistic force and power of
our own"
He described Mr.. Malraux
as "a man of the Renais-
sance" because "he has again
demonstrated that politics
and art, the life of action and
the life of thought, the world
of events and the world of
imagination-are one" And
he praised Gen. de Gaulle as
"the leader who seized the
opportunity for the rebirth of
France and has given there
fore the word renaissance a
new meaning for our age"
In the absence of Chief
Justice Warren, who had to
drop out late in the day be-
cause Of illness, Secretary of
State Dean Rusk began the
ceremonies with a brief talk.
He noted that the Mona Lisa
has already entered into our
humor. Since the earliest
days of our frontier" he said,
"irreverence has been one of
the signs of our affection"
MRS. KENNEDY NEVER
looked more glamorous than
she did when she walked in
with her husband and the
MalrauX at 1910 to take
her place on the platform.
With her hair done in high,
bouffant style, she wore a
draped pink matte jersey
strapless gown ornamented
with white beads and crystal.
Her only jewelry we're long
diamond earrings with pearl
drops, and embellishing her
Florida tan was the pink
tint on her lips that matched
the color of her gown.
Earlier in the evening she
and her husband had stepped
out of their car under the
cream colored awning that
had been erected in front of
the handsome door of the
French Embassy to protect
the heads of the heads of
government. French Ambas-
sador and Nine. Alphand
were on their front stoop to
greet the President and First
Lady when they arrived.
With the exception of his
father and his brother
Teddy, every adult member
of the Presidents immediate
family was there, too. They
included his mother, Mrs.
Joseph P. Kennedy, in a gilt
tering white gown with deep
pink satin stole; his brother
Bobby, his sister Eunice with
her husband, Peace Corps
Director Sargent Shriver, his
sister, Pat Lawford, and his
sister Jean, who was escorted
by her husband. Stephen
Smith.
Mrs. Kennedy's family was
represented by her mother
and stepfather, the Hugh D.
AuchincloSses. and her sister,
Princess Radziwill, who is
staying with her.
The list that naturally in
cluded Minister Malraux and
his attractive wife and Mr..
and Mrs. Folliard, also paid
tribute to Mona's creator,
Leonardo da Vinci in the
persons of italian Ambassa-
dor and Mrs. Fenoaltea.

Meaning of Steel Profit Decline

Government to take a good
look at what its one-sided
handling Of the steel contro-
versy last April has done to
q major industry.
At least 100000 steel work.
ers are today jobless. This
means a lost payroll Of $500
million Q year. Tax cuts will
not help these unemployed
persons, nor vii, consumer
spending" help increase pro-
fits unless wage costs are
overcome either through new
machinery or increased
prices.
II the prices proposed for
steel had gone into effect in
April. they would never have
been uniform anyway. They
would have been Selective so
as to enable the companies
to compete with foreign pro-
ducers while. at the same
time, moving up their own
rates on certain products that
Europeans cannot make COM
petitively.
In this very complex system
Of price-making, the admini-
stration intervened and
slowed down a $50 billion
industry. Yet Mr.. Kennedy
said on TV last December
that. II he had 1t to do all
over again, he would proceed
exactly the same way he did
before.
Perhaps last weeks steel
figures will be helpful in per-
suading the administration
that the time has come to do
something about the disrup-
tive effects Of high wage de-
mands. For the present steel
contract is coming up soon
for possible reopening by
labor. The union leaders on
the national level are said to
be hesitant to ask for wage
increases now. but r1imblings
are heard among the local
leaders who have political
ambitions inside the unions.
The administration could do
q constructive job Of educa-
ton at these levels and give
the steel industry q chance to
recover before 1t is faced with
more wage increases.

Kennedy Moves to Rescind Price Rise
DepIored as Slowing Industry Growth

States Steel Corp. had an
output Of Is million tons Of
steel. but this volume steadily
went down until 1t reached
l8 million last year.
There have been few
changes In steel prices in re-
cent years. while expenses
largely wage costs - have
steadily gone up faster than
the employers could absorb
them.
Even though the gross ma
tional product has risen,
steel has faced a steadily de-
creasing volume Of sales In
the last few years. This is
because previous high sales
were due primarily to war
time conditions or to the
catching up by buyers in con-
nection with periods Of re-
cession or strikes or threats
OF strikes.
Growth must be at q nor
NAL rate to make q steady
increase in profits from a
larger volume Of sales. Wages
cannot go UP out Of proper
ton to the rate Of profit in
crease and yet maintain q
healthy condition. That's
really the fundamental trou-
BILE with the American econ
omy today. and the admin
istation has not faced up to
the facts. Thus, labor ex-
ercises q virtual monopoly
throughout the industry and
the Government sits by and
allows the wage factor to be
thrust into the business
mechanism arbitrarily and
without guidance or restraint.
Price Is the crucial factor
in modern industry. Nowhere
has 1t been more conclusively
demonstrated that misguided
labor policies have dealt a
severe blow to national prog
reSs than in steel. This in
duStry does a volume Of SIS
billion q year. and the fabri-
Gators and related manufac-
turing businesses do another
SIS billion In sales. SO 1t Is
well worth while for the

Turning Point For Abstract Art?

Renoir and Rodin, Gauguin
and Van Gogh7 Not the pub
lie.
Al Capp. the comic artist
who creates LII Abner," has
wryly suggested that the
comics are the last refuge of
sincere art in America. He
says:
"There-and pretty nearly
only there - natural forms
are not perverted. People and
things are represented in the
image in which God created
them: with their absurdities
exaggerated in the funny
strips and their grace and
beauty emphasized In the
romantic strips.
I'VE live in an age In which
art has become q grotesque
hoax on the public. Art
standards are now largely
dictated by critics who jeer
at the understandable. by gal
leries which exhibit the mes
Sers and reject the masters.
They have bulldozed the
public into fearing to admit
that they are puzzled and
revolted by their newly
elevated demigods Of art,
from Picasso on down. Exhi-
billions Of abstract art look
like rejects from q dy-dee
service"
Last month Nikita Khru-
shchev made headlines by
demanding that Soviet art
lists. experimenting with non-
objectivity. should not have
their works shown. He was
wrong. There should be room
for the display Of all art at
tempts. even clear alteration.
But in the United States
It's the other way around.
Young objective painters are
discouraged. Few American
museums will honor or even
hang an objective painting
that is less than so years old.
There are no prizes for Am
erican artists who still think
that beauty and communica-
tion are legitimate artistic
objectives.
Classic traditions are
laughed at by an inbred
cabal Of art professors, mus
cum curators. paint throw
ers. amateur welders, junk
gluers and assorted beatniks
who have tried to drown out
the voice of common sense
by the thunder OF their self
congratulation. The tyran-
ny Of the American avant
garde Is as vicious as the
tyranny Of Khrushchev.
And so we have descended
ad absurdum. And a few
pepple-thank the Lord-are

A significant piece of news
" the last few days casts
doubt on the soundness of
an administration economic
theory - which is that, II
the Government stimulates
spending and thus increases
the volume Of sales, profits
will rise.
Three Of the biggest steel
companies have just issued
their annual reports. These
show that. for the year
1862, although sales went UP.
profits went down. They
show also the total effect OF
President Kennedy's error
in judgment when last April
he ordered Governmental
agencies to use all their
powers to coerce the big steel
companies into abandoning
a proposed price increase OF
three-tenths of a cent a
pound.
The United States Steel
Corps report for 1862 has
just come out. The COM
pany's sales went up by sl63
million, but profits went
down SO million. A few days
later, the annual reports of
the Bethlehem Steel Co.
and the Jones & Laughlin
Steel Corp. were published.
They revealed the same thing
larger sales but smaller
profits. All three companies
continued their reduced divi-
dend payments. How long
will investors be inclined to
supply funds for new equip
ment II the outlook for divi-
dends is discouraging?
Also, even after taking into
account the new tax rules
permitting larger deprecia-
ton reserves, the United
States Steel Corps net
profits for 1862 were So mil

Letter to the Editor

DCul oh
 During the week, 10 through IA June l held my Twelfth Annual Eye, Ear, Nose and Throat Clinic in Kodiak at the invitation of your own three physicians, Dr. A. Holmes Johnson, Dr. Bob and Dr. Bruce. Judge E. V. Davis allowed us to use part of the Court for a portion of our temporary office and MT. Bob Acheson rented us additional space at a very nominal figure. The Kodiak telephone com pany strung us separate line for the convenience of our patients. Mrs. Bob Hall was our nurse for the occasion as she has been sev eral times before. The Alaska De- partment of Health and the Alaska Native Health Service helped un- derwrite the expenses of this clinic.

AS result of this combined ef
 fort on the part of many individ- uals in Kodiak and Anchorage an important number of difficulties Tn the eye, ear, nose and throat field were discovered, not only among children of Kodiak and the surrounding small cities, but also among adults who for vaerious req sons had put off visiting special ists in these fields. Since learning in school is so largely dependent upon normal hearing and normal vision the prescription of proper eye glasses, hearing aids and the undertaking now and later on of various medical, surgical and x-ray treatments will insure that the largest number of children suffer
