It is just around the corner from the wall space once sO briefly adorned by the controversial Diego Rivera mural which featured the portrait of the Communist leader Lenin. On May 9, 1933, Mr. Rivera was called down from his scaffold in the RCA lobby, given a check for $14,000, completing payment on a $21,000 contract and told to go. He had refused Nelson Rockefeller’s request to paint out Lenin's portrait, No sooner had the protesting Mexican painter left than the building management shrouded his fresco in blank white paper which they later ' replaced with heavy white canvas. :

NEW YORK, April 23.—The art news of the day, or perhaps we should say political news, is this: Five characters in a Jose Maria Sert mural at Radio City are giving an unmistakable Fascist salute! With arms raised, palms outstretched and fingers held together in the regular Hitler-Mussolini manner, the five men stand on the plate form of a racing train in a mural depicting man’s intellectual mastery

Sert would paint a mural to fill the. space left by the -defunct Rivera fresco. In view of this tempest in a paint pot which the Rivera mural stirred up, it is said that Rockefeller em= ployees have been trying to hush the news of “Heil” salutes in the Sert mural ever since they were first called to their shocked ‘attention, Jose Maria Sert, the square-

‘bearded chunky Spaniard who put

over the Fascist saluting men in the RCA lobby, was attache to Rome for Gen. Francisco Franco of Spain,

husband never has had a steady Job, but lives by his wits, gambling, engineering questionable deals and playing cards with the boys. At least once he ran afoul of the law and had some unfavorable publicity. The woman. is domestic, loves her home, but shuns friends because of her husband’s occupation. Once, at

"her insistence, he took a steady job ‘so that he could spend his evenings

~with her, but he was perfectly mis-

~.erable and so restless that no en-

Jjoyment came of their hours togethShe does not want to spend the rest of her life in this manner,

» but dreads to break up her home

.and face life alone.

There are no

# ..schildren and she has a job. They »' seldom quarrel, but she is at the end . of the rope and doesn’t know what

to do.

I think it is useless for this woman to hope that her husband

‘will change much. He is past 40 i. years old and his pattern is fixed.

~..He is not dissatisfied with himself

or the life he leads. On the eontrary, his one attempt at leading the ordinary life of an ordinary man was a failure. If he himself wanted a change there would be hope for the situation, but he likes

+ the uncertainty, the excitement, the

gamble of his daily life. Obviously he likes a home where he can touch base occasionally, but it is not as important to him as his life “with the boys.” He conceives of his wife as the embodiment of

: his mother who patiently waits for « his coming and does not object to

his going. ot : 2 f J » . THIS IS NOT a mature relation-

~ ship, satisfying to a mature woman, but a very infantile situation i—mqne paint covers a lot of ground

which the man constantly strives to avoid ‘the effort of work, and in which he contributes nothing but money to the home he maintains. In this case the money isn't exmely important bééause the wife

i is a prociicer herself. If she wants

to call it quits and set a new goal for herself, she is completely justified in so doing. No one is required to ‘sacrifice the major desires of his .life for another. : She alone can decide whether it

. is better to be lonely by the side of

a man who shows up occasionally, or to be lonely with no one at all to expect. While it is true that she may find someone else in time, the period of readjustment will be as difficult as her present situation, if not more so. as ; Some women find that they rather would worry about a man than have no man to worry about at all. Some fimd it possible to establish enough

"outside interests to fill the gap left

by .an inattentive husband. Others are happier to break off sharply and

. ‘look for something else.

Any attempt to” advise such a woman is risky.for no one knows

' what her capacities are or how well

she can function alone in life. Unfortunately she faces a situation for which we feel great sympathy but in which outside advice is more or less

valueless.

Protects Against Friction :

AND HERE'S FURTHER news. When you're painting porch chairs, gliders, cushions, or any canvas article where friction is a factor, there’s an auxiliary product—an overcoating—which ‘gives s» double protection. A clear liquid, when brushed over the canvas paint it seals in the pigments to resist rubbing completely , . . no matter how constantly the article may be in use. There's just one .rule to remembér. Before applying the overcoating, make sure that the canvas paint underneath it is thoroughly dry.

Putting It On

THERE'S NO TRICK to applying the paint. It goes on as quickly and easily as water colors, and dries in an hour or two. You may ‘choose from 10 colors plus black and white. And if you have a special color scheme, that, too, may be matched, for each color is designed to mix well with gll the others, so that any desired shade can be achieved with proper mixing.

And the mildew-resistant feature of the paint is another plus, especially if your rugs are exposed to rain or dampness. For those lucky enough to have nearly-new canvas which does not need repainting, there's a clear, a colorless version of the paint, which does a neat preserving job without altering the color. The clear paint may be brushed on, making the fabric water-repellent and insuring it against rot and mildew for the entire summer season.
