Wy
the 2Sth Biennial Exhibition
Of American Painting just
opened at the Corcoran Gal
lery of Art is with your eyes
closed.
At the minor risk of bump
ing into your fellow seekers
after beauty, this simple
procedure has the great merit
of getting you into the show
without having seen the
prize winners, ranged at the
entrance like the monsters
at the gates Of hell. The
monsters, happily, are decep-
tive. You need not abandon
all hope on entering the ex-
hibition.
1t became clear on Friday.
when the show was previewed
by members of the Corcoran,
that the choice was actually
that of only two of the
jurors, both dedicated to the
advancement Of advanced
painting: Conrad Marca-Relli,
New York painter of advanced
paintings and Gordon Smith,
director of Buffalo's Albright
Knox Art Gallery, which has
a national reputation as this
country's principal art mu-
scum devoted to such con-
temporary work.
The third Juror, and chair
man, Ben Shahn, abstained
from voting as a protest
against the award system.
The winning paintings, plus
an honorable mention, are
reproduced in color in today's
issue of SUNDAY, The Star
Magazine.
It's NU
In the 28th biennial the
advance guard has advanced
into an ambush and been
cut to ribbons. The ambush
was set by time and the ma
ture of advancement in
painting. There is a built
in time limit on shock as an
art value. After a while it
wears off. The same kind of
terminal date hangs over
The New as a goal Of art.
BY. now, The New has be-
come just plain Nu?-the all
purpose Yiddish word made
quately translated as, so
what?
Prime example of So-What
paintings abound in the
show. A splendid one is Rob-
ert. Rauschenberg's "Rigger."
About 8 feet high, the
painting is adorned with
sloppily applied smears of
paint only up to about 7
feet, as If the artist could
reach no higher and was too
tired TO fetch a chair to stand
on. Abuot 3 feet from
the bottom, the painting has
an uninteresting piece Of
scrap metal fastened to its
surface. Near the upper limits
of the smearing is affixed a
bent pipe and from the pipe
is suspended a rope. The
rope drops about 5 feet
and through a hole in the
scrap metal, ending in a
rough wooden cylinder which
swings freely. The wood has
two metal bands around it
and one Of them falls off
from time to time. So what2

coming will not do much for
the declining centers Of the big
cities such as New York, Phila-

are the areas that are most

The most dramatic change,
he predicted, will be in the
South. Again the Republicans,
concentrated in under-repre-
sented metropolitan areas, will
be the beneficiaries.
THE prospects generally for
an effective two-party system
in the South have improved so
much that profound conse-
quences for national politics
can be anticipated" he said.

By the Associated Pres.

Representative Wilson, Re-
publican Of Indiana. will In
troduce this week another bill
designed to tighten defense

Ter General authority to tell a

ing policies and make them
more efficient and economical,
He added that the Defense De-
partment has indicated 1t OPP
poses such legislation. :
Mr.. Wilson said he also will
seek early House Rules Com
mittee hearings on his bill to
create a Senate-H House commit
tee for continuous study Of
procurement and to keep "po-.
litical pressure out of the con-
tract picture.

On Visitor Center

A commission that would
study possible establishment Of
a national visitor and student
center in Washington was pro-
posed in a resolution introduced
today by representative
Schwengel, Republican of Iowa.
Calling the lack of a center
an incredible omission, Mr..
Schwengel said: There exists
now a grossly disorganized, un-
methodical, haphazard and
confusing series Of systems of
providing visitors with guild
ance. information and tours. :"
The congressman added that
there is practically no conven-
fence for rest. refreshment,
parking and comfort" Such a
center. he said, should be pat
termed after one In Williams

Dirksen Attacks
Kennedy Record
In Economy Area

Senate Republican leader
Dirksen today accused the
Kennedy administration Of ex-
pressing fear about the eco
nomic future without taking
action which would inspire
faith or hope.
Thirty years ago this month
Franklin Roosevelt stood before
a vast crowd within a stones
throw Of where we sit and pro-
claimed in the midst Of a de-
preston that the only thing
we have to fear is fear ITSELF"
said the Republican leader.
Thirty years later President
Kennedy, before a vast crowd
in Chicago. spoke of concern
Of recession dangers, Of grow
ing troubles, of the jobless
problem, Of the turbulent SOS,
Of warnings, Of chronic
troubles"
Senator DirkSen said that
despite this fear complex"
there is still no hint that the
administration will draw back
from the new ventures it pro-
poses, such as Domestic Peace
Corps, the Youth Conservation
Corps, Federal aid to education
land numerous other New
Frontier proposals that won't
create a single new job"
He said there is no hint of
an effort by the administration
to reduce q gigantic" budget

NASHVILLE, Tenn,
Mar. rs (AP).-The latest
wrinkle in moonshining is
plastic returnable jugs.
The reason is a clamp
down by Federal alcohol

supplies and containers for
Illicit whisky, glass jars in
particular.
Herman o. Bomar, chief
tax agent for Tennessee,

lecting plastic containers

Unity to Free
Cuba, Exile
Leader Saws

NEW YORK, Mar. rs (AP)
DIR. Carlos Marquee Sterling,
who agreed yesterday to be-
come provisional president Of
an anti-Castro government re-
portedly organized within
Cuba, predicted unity would
free his homeland within
months.
DR.. Marquee Sterling, who
conditioned his acceptance Of
the offer Of provisional presi-
dency, was quoted In a state
ment from his New York home
that "a group or organizations
inside Cuba have thought
about me as o good alterna-
tive Of all those who fight
against the tyranny of Castro.
But they do not constitute the
majority Of those who courage
ously combat the opprobious
regime that destroys my
fatherland.
For this reason, I have con-
ditioned my acceptance
(until) the existence Of the
great and absolute unity among
all Cubans, putting aside all
our differences for when we
have rescued Cuba, which will
be a matter Of o few months
once this unity has been pro-
duced," he said.
Il do not aspire to the presi-
dency Of my country when 1t
is rescued, nor do / have fu-
ture ambitions in a political
sense"
DR.. Marquex Sterling, SO, was
defeated for the presidency in
1858 by Andres Rivero Aguero,
who never served because FL
del Castro's revolution took
place.
Political associates of DR..
Marquex Sterling In Miami
said they knew no details Of
the provisional presidency ac-
ceptance.

CongoSoIdier
Kills Israeli

ELISABETHvILLE. Katanga.
Mar. rs (AP).--A Congolese
soldier shot a white foreigner
to death today because the
white man didn't obey an order
to get off the sidewalk fast
enough to suit the soldier.
The victim was Simon Asher,
IS, believed to be an Israeli.
He was the father Of three
children.
Witnesses said q Congolese
soldier on guard ordered Mr..
Asher off the sidewalk as he
walked past the former Ma
tional Bank of Katanga, which
the central Congo government
has taken over. 1t is in the
heart Of Elisabethville's SHOP
ping and business center.
The white man, slightly deaf,
hesitated and the soldier shot
him in the back.
Feeling ran high in the Ka-
tangan capital. More incidents
between whites and Congolese
soldiers were feared. =
Hundreds of passers by
watched as Mr.. Asher died.
United Nations and police off,
Gals arrived later and began
an investigation. Congolese and
Ethiopian troops stayed on duty
at the bank.
The bank, one of three places
in Elisabethville still guarded
by Congolese army soldiers, has
been the scene Of several in
cidents between troops and
local Africans.
An order banning pedestrians
from walking on the pavement
near the bank never has been
made public.
Mr.. Asher operated a small
radio repair shop and agency
in Elisabethville. He had been
in Katanga more than eight
years.

Publishers estimate the total
loss to the economy as a result
OF the newspaper blackout at
more than 5000 million.
The blackout was the long
est and costliest in the city's
newspaper history, which dates
to 1880 when the New York
Gazette began putting out reg
ular editions. The last previous
shutdown o fthe nine major
dailies here, in 1858, lasted 10
days.
The nine dailies ordinarily
publish SIS million copies a
day. and when all ceased pub
lication, nearly one-tenth Of
the Nations daily newspaper
circulation was cut off.
New Workers have had at
least five strike born news
papers to read during a major
part Of the current blackout.
They also have grabbed up an
increased flow Of out-of-town
dailies.
One Of the interim papers,
the New York Standard, an
nounced that yesterdays edition
was its last because it be-
lieved the regular dailies would
be back this week. The Stand

An expert on legislative rep
resentation says the Supreme
Court reapportionment decision
has not crippled rural interests
and may well help the Repub-
lican Party.
On balance. says Prof. Paul
T. David Of the University
Of Virginia, the decision handed
down a year ago tomorrow. in
Baker VS.. Carr. has proved to
be. helpful. not earth-shaking
or catastrophe"
In its decision in the Tennes-
see reapportionment case, the
Supreme Court for the first
time allowed city jewellers to
argue in Federal courts that
the constitutional guarantee Of
equal protection" was violated
by inequities in representation
in State legislatures.
Since then, law suits and
Legislative action challenging
existing appointments have
been initiated in all but a
handful Of the SO States.
Mr.. David, co-author Of a
definitive study Of legislative
malapportionment, discussed
the events since Baker VS.. Carr
last week in q seminar at the
University Of Detroit.
Suggests DeliberatiOn
1T is too early to say that
the courts generally, or the
Supreme Court, viii eventually
require the enforcement Of a
standard Of equality Of repre-
sentation in both houses Of
every State legislature" he
said. But that is certainly the
direction in which events so
far are moving.
Courts that never expected
TO 60 so far will probably do
so, simply because they are dis
covering that any intermediate
or temporizing rule has its own
built-in limitations. Such rules
become indefensible when laid
down against the standards
implicit in the l4th Amend
ment."
Noting that some commen-
tators have argued that the
Supreme Court decision will
transfer all political power to
the cities, he expressed the view
that. rural interests will not be
crippled II they are restricted u
their fair share Of representa-
ton in State legislative bodies
"Our system was designed u
protect minority interests and
IL will continue TO do So" he
said. Respect for rural life Il
deeply imbedded in the ideology
OF American institutions and a
considerable difference TO ruraI
interests will persist for a Ions
time TO come"
