STRACHEY’S HONOR INVOLVED, HE SAYS

NEW YORK, Oct. 13 (U. P.)— John Strachey, British Socialist writer, viewed with a ‘deepening sense of outrage” today his exclu“sion from the United States. ~. The State Department had canceled his visa: while Mr. Strachey : was en route here for a lecture tour, and the writer objected to the reasons given. . “The State Department has used the word ‘fraud,’ ” he said, “and that is a reflection on my honor. They insist I was a Communist official at the time I got the visa by . : swearing that I was not a Commun--ist at all. This is a grave reflection on my honor.”

His Work Will

A sculptor is a boss and does sonally.

When the clay model is made, some one else casts it into plaster of paris as a working model. When the plaster of paris model is done, still different persons cut it into stone. It seems as easy as saying: “Miss Jones, take a statue!” But it isn’t. Take David Rubins, for instance.

He Thought and Thought

Last fall Mr. Rubins was commissioned by the U. S. Treasury Department to do pieces to crown the motor entrance to the new Federal Building here. He thought about it all fall. He thought about it that winter. The space and proportion alloted were not suitable for orthodox architectural figures. So he devised something different. Then he modeled the drawings into clay. Then, except for supervision, his physical work stopped. Dante Gaspari, who has the only casting shop for sculptors in Indianapolis, cast it into plaster of paris. That's where it is today. Within a week or so stone cutters will begin their work of putting the design—which consists of the most intricate measurements and multiplications you can get this side of Purdue University—on rock. - Mr. Rubins is professor of sculpture at the John Herron Art Institute. He has done things for buildings in Washington and every time he visits there he goes to see one of the seated figures ort the Archives Building. He did the figure and he goes to see it to see if he still likes it. Now, Take France

Mr. Rubins is glad the U. S. Treasury Department has, at last, taken an interest in the Nation's art to the extent of giving it tangible support in the form of money. France, he points out, has done sofor many years and for many years France has been doing all right in the art world. Almost any day Mr. Rubins can be seen in professorial apron carving a 16th of an inch off here or a 32d -of an inch off there. He does his own chipping and cutting on museum pieces. Mr. Rubins believes that the stone cutters will have the Federal Building decorations done within three months. He will look in on them a couple of times a week because he is responsible for the finished work. The stone cutters are under contract to

What he does is make a clay model of what he wants sculptured and how he wants it sculptured and then he comes to a full stop. (This is on architectural figures only, where sculpting in limestone is so deep in places and so extensive that it’s practically mining.)

HOUSING CHIEF MAY ASKEXTRA "500 MILLIONS

Much Slum Work Remains To Be Done, Straus Says In. Speech.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 13 (U. P)). —Well-informed -sources said today that the United States Housing Authority would ask Congress for possibly another $500,000,000 to finance slum-clearince and low-

: |rent housing construction.

The plan to continue the program

.|at present high speed was disclosed

as Administrator Straus told the National Association of Housing Officials at the opening session of its convention that “much work is yet to be done.” : With only $76,000,000 remaining available from the $800,000,000 Congress authornzed to lend local housing authorities from the proceeds of bond sales, applications exceeding the funds already have piled up.

One Year in Office

Mr. Straus is preparing to ask Congress also to remove from the act a technicality which prevents him from earmarking $70,000,000 of the funds thus far available, it was learned. On his first anniversary as director of the Government's large-scale public housing venture, Mr. Straus told the assembled officials of local and State housing authorities that 37,000,000 people already live: in communities which have established authorities eligible for Federal funds. Eight million live in large communities in states which have no housing authority legislation and twelve million live in such come munities which have no authorities although their State laws permit their establishment, he said.

Sees Aim Fulfilled

“Today we see that the primary aims of the program is being fulfilled,” he said. “The rents to be charged in all of the 83 housing projects which have been approved by the President and are now under way will be within reach of those families which desperately need better housing—families with

‘incomes of $400 or $500 to $1000.”

USHA officials, surprised by the speed and volume of applications, said further study would be necessary to determine just how much additional money Congress will be asked for. Last spring Mr. Straus asked Congress for $500,000,000—ocver the Administration's recommendation

cials said today. Officials have invited the public to] visit the store and inspect its| modern details. There will be special | music for the open house and gifts and souvenirs will be given visitors.' The store is the latest of this type

About Curtsey to Queen

LONDON, Oct. 13 (U. P.).—Great Britain's experts on international etiquette got together today on the question of whether Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt should curtsey to Queen Elizabeth if they met in America— and decided that the United States’ First Lady should “suit herself.” Many questions of precedent and official status were weighed by the experts ‘as they debated the probable result of Mrs. Roosevelt's statement that she would do whatever the State Department told her to do. But the conclusion reached was that all the State Deparment experts can report is that she will have to make up her own mind. One thing appeared certain: No-

body is going to expect America’s]

First Lady to curtsey if she decides otherwise, regardless of the fact that Mrs. Albert Lebrun, wife of the President of France, dropped a neat curtsey when she met the Queen on their Majesties’ visit to Paris. The experts sald that what Mrs. Roosevelt should do boiled down to the relative status of herself and Queen Elizabeth. Mrs. Roosevelt's official status as the wife of the President will be that of “consort of the head of a country” while the status of the Queen will be that of “a distinguished visitor.” Thus the President's wife would not be expected to curtsey in greeting the distinguished visitor from England. All other ladies to be pre-

sented, however, would be expected

to curtsey. That would include the President's daughter, Mrs. Anna Boettiger. : If the President meets the royal couple, the procedure calls for Mr. Roosevelt to take the initiative and advance to greet the King and Queen. He would shake hands with both and then Mrs. Roosevelt would greet them. All ladies and gentlemen present, including the President and his wife, would first address the visitors. as “Your Majesty” but thereafter merely say “sir” or “madam.”
