A—6 ** MURAL ART WEEK SHOWS PROGRESS P. W. A. Artists Invited to Share in New York Exhibition. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, February 11.—Mural painting in America has taken tre- mendous strides within the past few years, with the walls of everything from Rockefeller Center to the new- est bar room being decorated with vast expanses of art. Acknowledging this widespread in- terest, the Mural Painters Society has invited a group of P. W. A. P. artists and others to share in its current exhibition at Grand Central Art Galleries. Some of the result is rather like the independent artists’ free-for-all mag- nified 100 times. There are mam- moth paintings of the “Cultural Achievements of the U. S. S. R.” and kindred topics, along with specimens of the most modernistic of modern art. Outstanding among the muralists are two Americans from the Middle- west—Missouri’s Thomas Benton and Kansas' John Steuart Curry. Though represented only by sketches and photographs, Benton's big Indiana mural, done for the Century of Progress exhibition in Chicago, shows that artist at the top of his form. His pensive Lincoln, leaning on his ax to read, his Log School House, his Mississippi gambler—or is it a New England ship owner?—and the other figures of his vigorous work not only catch the essence of the American scene but are compelling as art. Curry’s subjects, in murals for Bed- ford Junior High School at Westport, Conn., are “Tragedy and Comedy,” but in them he has such typical Ameri- can figures as Harlem Negroes, a rodeo cowboy and Charlie Chaplin. This painting shows Curry, toe, at his best. Other interesting works are the murel by Madelaine Krall. New Eng- land artist, for the Westfield, Conn., High School; Edward Laning's design for a settlement house fresco, and a decorative screen by Olin Dow of Washington, D. C. PRESIDENT SCORES IN PREVAILING PAY AMENDMENT FIGHT (Continued From First Page.) have an opportunity to hear Mr. Gill | present the administration’s side and the figures on which it is based. Chairmanr. Glass of the committee, who had said last week he would tell the committee what the President had told him in a telephone conver- sation about the bill, said after the meeting that he did not lay the President’s views before the commit- tee, believing that it was not advis- able at that time. If the McCarran amendment is finally stricken out of the bill, a sub- stitute for it may be offered. Fur- thermore, Senator Adams is prepar- ing to offer, in slightly modified form, his amendment to reduce the total appropriation to $2,880,000,000. This amendment was lost on a tie vote only when it came before the com- mittee last week. Administration leaders say they belleve they can de- feat again the Adams amendment in committee, Floor Fight Planned. Both Senator Adams and Senator McCarran plan to carry their fights to the floor of the Senate in the event they are finally rejected by the Ap- bropriations Committee. The Appropriations Committee adopted today several amendments. One was offered by Senator Tydings. |Secret Service Man,[ It provides that no person shall be eligible to receive any direct relief under the provisions of the bill on account of unemployment, unless he or she can establish to the satisfac- tion of Government officials that he or she is in actual need and has not within the last 60 days resigned from or left a position, in which he or she was recelving $50 a month, and he or she has made bona-fide efforts to obtain private employment. This amendment was adopted without a roll call. An amendment offered by Senator Steiwer was adopted providing that 2ll Federal public roads projects, rivers and harbors projects, reclama- tion projects and public buildings projects undertaken pursuant to the passage of this new relief act shall be under the direction of the per- manent Government agencies which ordinarily would have charge of them. President to Fix Terms. Senator Russell of Georgia succeeded in having the committee adopt an emendment providing that funds be available in the discretion of the President to make loans for the pur- chase of farm lands and necessary equipment by farm tenants, croppers and farm laborers. The President is to prescribe the terms on which the loans are to be made and they are to be repaid in annual installments. An amendment offered by Senator Steiwer of Oregon seeking to prevent political appointments in the works- relief program was overwhelmingly defeated in the .committee. His amendment would have provided that in the appointment of officers and employes no political test should be permitted and all appointments or promotions should be given on the basis of merit and efficiency. This amendment was shouted down on a viva voci vote. It had been rumored before the Appropriations Committee met today that the President was prepared to veto the work relief bill if it was sent to him containing the McCarran amendment. MANY ‘AND./OR’S’ REMAIN Glass Will Find 16 in Social Security Measure. Senator Carter Glass of Virginia hasn’t yet finished his anti-“and/or” work. He objected to that combination in the $4,880,000,000 public works bill, and got most of them out. He found more in the omnibus banking bill, and says they’re going out, too, if the bill passes. And when he gets around to it, he'll find that “and/or” appears 16 times in the social security bill.

Although all Federal funds allotted to the District for general relief pur- poses wdre exhausted yesterday, there is no immediate threat that relief will halt in the District for at least 10 more days and probably not at all, it was announced today at the District Building. Harry L. , Federal emer- gency relief administrator, has sured District relief officials his office will meet current expenses through February 20 or until all Federal funds are used. A partial allotment for the month was made to carry on the work through February 10 and the District has impounded $166,667 from its own funds to carry on through the re- mainder of this month. ‘The District has $666,668 remaining from its annual appropriation running until July 1. This fund has been broken up into 12 equal installments during the present fiscal year, but that method was adopted by the Dis- trict Commissioners merely as a mat- ter of policy and if the situation war- rants a change, it was said, the entire amount can be used whenever the Commissioners see fit. Such action may be taken if the new Federal apropriation is delayed beyond February 20, it was said, with the expectation that whatever amount the District advances will be returned later by Hopkins. 1 Commissioner George E. Allen, Dis- trict relief administrator, who was ex- pected to return to his office today from a short vacation in Florida, wired his staff that he will be back Thurs- day. Meanwhile he has kept in close contact with the situation here throughh telegraphic conferences re- garding both the general relief funds :nd the transient situatio: Lions to Stage Ladies’ Night.

By the Associated Press. Senator Huey P. Long of Loulsiana today introduced a resolution demand- ing a Senate committee investigate “general and specific charges of mis- conduct, irregularity, distonesty and other activity” of James A. Farley, Postmaster General. ‘The resolution charged that Farley “has conducted a private business for the selling of materials to persons engaged in doing public construction work for the United States Govern- ment, and that in some instances con- cerns buying materials from the said concern in which James A. Farley is interested have received contracts through as many as three low bidders being disqualified.” It further stated that “said con- cerns favoring the firm of the said James A. Parley with business have been able to secure changes in speci- fications netting them large sums in profits after the award of the con- tracts, and it being alleged that such changes are deliberately made for the purpose of allowing large profits and avolding competition.” President Roosevelt was accused of broken campay, peken o mng; Ppromises last night “President Rooseveit ran on a plat- form that he was going to bring pov- erty to an absolute end and pull down the big fortunes,” Long said in a radio address, urging membership in his “Share-Our-Wealth” Society. The Senator attributed America's economic situation to “the evils of big fortunes” and quoted extensivly on that subject from the Bible, the Greek philosophers and the compact of the Pilgrim fathers.
