CULTURE BITES BRITISH PUBS

Walls Are Now Decorated With Art Works.

By ROBERT MUSEL United Press Staff Correspondent LONDON, March 20.—A wave of culture is sweeping through England's pubs, and there's hardly time for a man to drink his pint of beer. Art exhibitions, plays and recita-

pubs to meet the growing competition of * motion pictures, plays, radio and other amusements. The powerful brewing combines are supporting the drive to‘keep the pubs in their number one position as social gathering places. Samuel Pepys, Ben Jonson, Samuel Johnson and other famed pubcrawlers used to be content merely to eat, drink and talk at such historic taverns as the Mermaid, but that was centuries ago. Now the brewers want their patrons to see, hear and be entertained. The brewers have formed an alliance with the Central Institute of Art and Design in converting a number of pubs into art galleries. Patrons of the Arts Sir Charles Tennyson, grandson of the poet and director of the Central Institute, originated the idea of brewers becoming patrons of the arts. The brewers liked the idea and commissioned several score of England's best modern artists to paint a total of 170 pictures. A committee of art critics selected the artists and suggested that they concentrate on painting England's natural beauty and national. treasures such as old palaces and other historic buildings. After the works were completed, the brewers hung 24 of them in “The Cogers,” an old pub in Salisbury court, and awaited results. Business picked up immediately, and the paintings drew favorable | comment even from’ the old gaffers who were used to quaffing their ale with nothing on the wall but al dusty calendar. « Exchange of Support Augustus John, the famed painter who was called to witness this phenomenon, remarked: “Artists have always been staunch supporters of the brewing industry. Now it's the brewers’ turn to support art.” Encouraged by their success at “The Cogers,” the bréwers and the art institute divided the 170 pictures into five groups and distributed them to pubs in different areas, including the “New Inn” across Thames from Parliament. “It's done marvelous things to business,” said Manager Alec Smith | of the New Inn. “Lots of customers bring their wives around to look at the pictures and we've had lots of favorable comment, even from members of parliament who come here.” The brewers are not stopping there. Next fall all 170 pictures will be hung in an even more unorthodox place for an art exhibition— the big subway station at Charing Cross. After that, the paintings will be distributed to pubs which the brewers consider most worthy.

« By ROBERT MUSEL - ted Press Staff Correspondent ‘LO , March 20 (U.” P).— Princess Elizabeth, the most eligible young lady in the world, will be 20 years old on April 21, : t will’ be another milestone towi a problem the royal family cannot avoid: The selection of a prince consort for the future queen of England. The subject is tabod around the royal palaces of Windsor, Buckingham and Sandringham. Because last year King George VI put his foot down on such speculation, saying Elizabeth was too young. But the last year has been eventful, and observers point out that the schoolgirl princess of a year ago is now a self-assured woman whose recent “solo” visit to northern Ireland was a tremendous success, This visit,

finding satisfact ory replacements is a nightmare. One fine! morning last week on our press Mr. Morgan tour of the Russian zone we sat in a classroom in the bustling city of Gera and listened to a 66-year-old German from Breslau conduct a discussion | on “current affairs” among 27 stu-| dents training to become teachers. It was a frightening 60 minutes. | The teacher, whose name was | Julius Gabriel and who happened | to be a Communist, addressed the | class as if he were trying to teach a roomful of parrots to talk, and the poison that he spouted would have warmed the horny cockles of Joseph Goebbels’ heart. The topic of the day was Winston Churchill's Fulton, Mo., speech, admittedly a fertile field for a propagandist. Gabriel used it to turn the hour into a crackpot, rabblerousing attack on the “formal democracies” of the United States and Great Britain. “We should be glad that Churchill has provided proof of the clash between capitalism and Communism,” he said. When it was over the headmaster, a tall old man, Dr. Amandus Mueller, asked us what we thought of the class, which he had missed. We told him, while our Russian hosts listenedfi, that we thought it was one of the worst things we had ever heard. He was taken aback at first and then hastily | apologized. At this paint the conversation | was taken over by a Russian colonel, one of the top officials of the mili- | tary government of Thuringia, who | had gone to the discussion with | us. Through a sweating Russian | major the colonel told Mueller that | he thoroughly disapproved of the | class, that Gabriel did a singularly bad job and that the Russians did | propose to have Germans |

The point is that the re-educa-tion of the Germans, whether aimed to right or left, is not good in the| hands of men like Gabriel, and the colonel appreciated that as keenly as we did. The next day with beautiful candor the colonel confessed that he sometimes did not know what| should be done about the Germans| and that he sometimes grew pessi-! mistic over the problems of de-| Nazification and re-education. | One-Third Women | The education problem tripped us| up again at the venerable University of Jena.
