During the short business meeting, the vice chairman, Mrs. Bernard Clark, appointed the following committee: Miss Ruth Winnes, Mrs. Leo Curtin and Miss Bernice Nelson to formulate the Art department’s program for the general meeting next year. Miss Vera appointed Miss Eleanor Pumphrey to be the program chairman for the department meetings. Mrs. Helen Howell presented a most interesting review of the book entitled, “Ukranian Art,” a collection of articles written by Ukranian and American scholars about the Ukraine’s culture. The book was written with the hope that it would inspire more intensive and comprehensive study in the United States of the Ukraine’s treasures. Mrs. Howell geographically located the Ukraine for the group, and pointed out that since it is now Russian-controlled, most of its arts are being dictated by the Russian influence. She briefly discussed and showed pictures of the beautiful embroidery work, the woodcarvings, tapestry rugs; and especially, tiie Easter eggs. Easter means eggs to the Ukranians and they do highly elaborate and complicated, colorful designs that turn ordinary eggs into things of beauty. Often, boys select their brides on the basis of the skill a girl shows in designing her Easter eggs. This art dates back to antiquity. Each district in the Ukraine' has its own designs and favorite color combinations.

13-Year-Old Dies Under Trolley Car BROOKLINE, Mass. (UPI) — For 15. minutes, 13-year-old Ferdinand Strauss 111 lay pinned beneath a trolley car. The pain was excruciating but he did not cry.

Ferdinand was dragged 32 feet after he slipped on ice and slid beneath the Metropolitan Transit Authority trolley while running to catch the car Monday in Longwood station. He was en route to a private school in Weston. A policeman who crawled under the trolley to help extricate him asked, “Where are you hurt.” “All over, especially my legs and arms,” the boy said. The rescue team asked where his mother was. They asked his address. “I don’t want my mother upset,” the boy said. “I’m sorry I caused you so much trouble.” The heavy car was jacked up. An ambulance took him to Children’s Medical Center in Boston though Ferdinand murmured he wanted to be taken to Massachusetts General Hospital, where his father, Ferdinand Strauss U of Brookline is assistant director. The boy’s concern was for his mother. "I don't want to worry her,” he kept saying. Ferdinand will be buried Wednesday. Six-Year-Old Boy Is Killed By Tank MADISON, Ind.

Khrushchev’s son-in-law, was reported seeking contacts today with high Vatican officials that might lead to a meeting with Pope John XXIII. The chief of the official government newspaper Izvestia refused to be pinned down on whether he has made moves for such a meeting. "Wait and see,” he told a public rally Monday night. — - Observers in Rome said Adzhubei’s refusal to commit himself indicated he was trying to arrange some sort of visit to the Vatican. They said he might meet Augustin Cardinal Bea, head of the Secretariat for Christian Unity, since Pope John never grants interviews to newsmen. Adzhubei and his wife, Rada, arrived in Italy last week. They came to Naples to visit the ruins of nearby Pompeii. The Kremlin has been courting the Vatican in recent months. It permitted two observers from the Russian Orthodox Church to attend the Vatican Ecumenical Council last fall. Khrushchev has exchanged messages with Pope John. The Russians recently released Ukrainian Archbishop Josyf Slipyi from prison after 18 years. Speculation is that Adzhubei is going to follow up these moves by making some sort of overtures to the Vatican.
