ON EXHIBIT in the sculpture division of the 28th Annual Hoosier :S8alon in the auditorium of the Wm. H. Block Co. is a hunk of work that is called “Rhythm,” No. 1186. I have looked at “Rhythm” “until I'm slightly, cockeyed, ‘Perhaps Barbara Lurie, who 1s responsible for the wood-cardboard-wire-chain-paint creation, intends for a person to linger a little longer in front of No. 116, Remember Barnum'’s famous slogan?. He didn't care what he was called as long as folks kept calling. Barbara Lurie named it “Rhythm,” and why she did it I don't know. A Robert Laurent has a. sculptured pigeon he named “Pigeon” and which, incidentally, looks like a pigeon... He was awarded 100 bucks for thefbird. Artist William A.

IT HAS BEEN said Mother Nature is a hard gal to improve on.- Long time ago an art teacher told a group of budding artists that their purpose and aim in life was to improve nature's beauties. Only an artist, splitting with the restlessness of his own creative genius, can do that. That's why, the teacher sald, the camera will never replace the palette. He was utterly wrong in my case. Artists have-more realism in their work this year than they have had in the past. Even the still life pictures make you stop and praise the return of sanity to the art’ salons, Jane Van Sickle’s “White Pitcher” is so well done it is hard to restrain yourself from reaching into the painted arrangement of - fruit, - vegetables and liquid refreshments. Portraits are extremely pleasing to the eye. They actually ‘look like human beings. Joel Reichard’s portrait, “Young Pastor Pinkston,” stopped me for 15 minutes. No. 167 is more than a painting of a young pastor, As you look into the benign face, you expect to hear Pastor Pinkston’s voice and the frame around the oil disappears and vou're in a church. The sound of a melodious organ just faded Into vilence and a hush falls over the congregation. You wait expectantly for inspiring words. oo

LANDSCAPES, rural and urban, tell a clear story, present a vivid glimpse of a mood, hold time in abeyance and you gaze at a moment. captured forever. It isn't necessary to walk around and ask repeatedly, “Now, what in tarnation is this supposed to represent?” . In the water color group, Kenneth J. Reeve's “Church at New Bellsville” and M. Wright Witmer’s “Vermont Woods” remind the viewer of a Kodachrome in a frame. Draftsmanship and perfect use of the medium {is there for you to enjoy.

It Happened Last Night

By Earl Wilson

NEW YORK, Feb. 7—Vice President Barkley's fame as a story-teller is widespread, but now he has also mastered the “flip quip,” . the “oneliners” that are flung out by the Milton Berles. At the Eddie Cantor 60th birthday dinner for Bonds for Isrgel, the Veep responded this way: “After that flattering introduction, I can hardly wait to hear what I'm going .to say.” That's a quip often used by the No. 1 saloon comic, Joe E. Lewis, and the Veep tossed it off expertly. The Veep also men- = tioned that Cantor was “in the third year of } Benjamin Harrison's administration — he The Veep was the last Republican President we've had.” Furthermore, he said, he was limited to 20 minutes of speaking . ., . “and that’s not enough for a

-man who's been in the Senate.”

The Vice President can become a TV master of ceremonies if, for any reason, he is unem-

ployed after the next election.

~ Cantor said that when he was a boy on Henry

-®t., supper often consisted “of four pieces of

bread and some slices of bologna, and the slices. of bologna were so thin. “Tonight,” he added, “you're slicing the bologna so thick.” < oo oo OPERA STAR Rise Stevens still laughs about her husband’s “expert” English at the wedding ceremony. Walter Surovy, a Hungarian, knew little English—just that he was supposed to say “I do.” So when the minister asked whether anyone knew any reason why the wedding should not be held, he boomed out, “I do!” LE COMEDIAN JAN MURRAY, opening at the Copacabana in the swell new show with Toni Arden, claimed he'd gone shopping with his wife and tried to buy $1 worth of potatoes. “I'm sorry,” a clerk allegedly said, “we don’t

CHICAGO, Feb. 7—One of the reasons you find it easy to admire the city of Chicago is based in the extreme resourcefulness of its citizens. This is a town of opportunity, in which the local yeomanry makes its own breaks. This was true, in spades, during the gentle, moribund days of prohibition,

such highly salable commodities as vice, dope and political corruption.

Mr. Arcaro’s implied guilt stems only from a long and frequent association with horses.

By GEORGE W. HERALD

ONE DAY last spring, aviatrix Jacqueline Cochran paid a visit to Lackland Base, the WAF training center

@

in Texas.

Suddenly, a group of recruits passed by her on their

way back from PT exercises. The girls looked unkempt and their faces were perspiring. They were wearing denim caps, khaki socks and brown whitestriped fatigue dresses hanging from their shoulders like potato bags. . »

surrealism. It is a pleasure to move from picture to picture and be stimulated at whim of the artist. Before - Johann Berthelsen’s “Central Park,” yeu're cold, and thé dominant thought in mind is to hurry home and look through a window at the cold, gray world. J. C.’Templeton's “Autumn Idyll” brings back memories of Sunday afternoons. and there's the thrill of discovery, the shout to friends that the “perfect spot” is at hand. In retrospect, the golden hours come rushing back. Then you run smack into “Rhythm” with its wires and suspended geometric shapes, curlicue, something that resembles a disk harrow, unconventional speed shapes and not one thing that reminds you of Betty Grable's shape that is the essence of rhythm. To me > “ » THERE MUST be a logical explanation of “Rhythm.” The mind's eye is a wonderfully adaptive non-existing part of a man’s perceptive machinery. Look what happens to people when they are in love, frightened, excited, worried, hungry, angry. I've tried ®o imagine all emotions and failed to fit No. 116 in anywhere. It was jiggled, turned, viewed from the floor, at eye level, upside down and top down. Nothing. el 4 In no way is this to be construed that Barbara Lurie’s No, .116 isn’t- worth looking at.

It struck Air Force headquarters like a minor A-bomb. The brass had always fancied .the WAF's as the most glamorous.branch of the service. If it were ‘true that WAFs were as dowdy as those women said, the blame was bound to fall on the entire establishment. ’ When the Cochran report was shown to Col.

By JIM G. LUCAS -Howard Stall Writer WASHINGTON, Feb. 7—The war between communism and democracy is waged on two fronts in Asia. On one, we fight for places like Heartbgeak Ridge in Korea. On the other, we fight for men's minds, The Communists have been active on the second 3 front for many years. In -the early twenties, the men who now lead the Reds

away to Moscow for indoctrination. They returned as missionaries and hardened revolu-

tionaries, They have never stopped spreading their perverted gospel. :

They are artists in their line. They know how and when to play the chords which provoke the best response—hunger, poverty, discrimination, imperialism and, above all, nationalism. The free worldfin general, and the United States in particular, were late-comers to the second front.-We believed in our cause so implicity that it never occurred to us we must sell ‘it to other people, ~

ONE OF the new theories of ‘child raising is that the way to teach children the value of money is to give them a regular allowance and let them spend it as they wish. This theory is wide- . lyaccepted, not only by the well to do, but by the relatively poor. However, our nationwide studies of personality s h ow that children * who receive an allowance as a ; matter of j course-develop Henry C. Linck weaker - personalities than do children who have to earn their allowance by" doing family

chores. Children who tend -

lawns, deliver newspapers, ordo summer work, are likely to have stronger personalities than those who do not. The importance of such work lies not in the money received, but in the ‘habits and attitudes acquired

Democracy Like Soap’

In one crucial area, I spent an evening with a USIS officer who said he hadn't found time recently to preach the American gospel. ;

“I've got a dilly of a personnel problem,” he said, “it's a clash of personalities and it's got the whole office upset. It's Civil Service, ‘foo. It's kept me humping for a week now.” In Hong Kong, the Commies have taken over virtually every new stall on Queens Street. Hong Kong is a British Crown Colony, but you can buy pamphlets there with. detailed instructions how to kill a British soldier. It's not wise—or safe—for a news dealer to refuse to sell Red literature. He may have a fire. Or a stray grenade may roll into his place of business. It is equally unsafe to display anti-Communist literature. A “spontaneous” demonstration may wreck your place. : - ” » . WE'VE done almost nothing to counter this. USIS has a reading room, but it's in an embassy annex up on Garden Road, an exclusive section. Few Chinese -- working people or shopkeepers venture there. There's a stone wall around the compound and a sentry at the gate. There's another reading room across the bay in Kowloon, but few Chinese go there, either. Everyday, The Standard, the only real anti-Communist and pro-Nationalist newspaper in Hong Kong, translates and publishes editorials from all Chinese language newspapers ~Communist and anti-Com-munist. It recently offered that service to Paul Frillman, head of USIS there, for a low price. As low as it was, it "would have meant something to the paper's underpaid staff. Mr. Fillman found

Kathryn Bradsples, WAF Base Come mander, remarked. “We have just as little use for ‘dolls’ out here as most civilian working places have, We want our girls to be ladies in uniform, no more

It 1s hoped that the new light= blue AR costume 4s going to help a lot toward that goal. It is well tallored. Virtually all male characteristics have been removed from it. The blouse has a soft collar while the traditional severe tie has been replaced by a nifty ribbon. The lapel insignias have been reduced in size and .almest Idok like pleces of custom jewelry,

“Are there still any rules as to hairdos and make-up?” I asked.

“We like hairdos. to be ‘neat and feminine,’ that's all,” Maj, Bradspies answered. “As you see, I am wearing lipstick my self, and I assure you I powder my nose whenever I feel like it, After all, we are women and intend to remain so.”

regulations wouldn't permit such a transaction. Meanwhile he maintains a huge trans lating staff which does the same job he could have had done for a few dollars, while at the same time helping a valiant anti-Communist fighter.

Mr. Connor contends Hong Kong is a special problem. The British don’t want. us to carry on an anti-Communist came _paign there, The Red Chinese army is too close. Mr. ‘Connor says the State Department hopes for a better deal soon. The Churchill government may lift some of the restrictions under which USIS has worked, ~ - » MR. CONNOR says we help support a few news stands in Hong Kong. They'll sell you anti-Communist literature if you ask for it. He also says we're helping finance a locally owned anti-Communist magazine.

Even so, the kind of literature we supply often seems hardly worth the risks > assumed by anyone bold enough to handle it. Mr, Frill. man has a staff of 82 people. That's more than many newspapers have in their city rooms. He publishes a daily press bulletin.
