ST. LOUIS POST-DISPATCH MONDAY, APRIL 12, 194S ST. LOUIS POST-DISPATCH 21 Scholars Honored DISPLAY CHINESE ART 2 AT WASHINGTON U. MARQUIS CHILDS Gen. Eisenhower Might Run If SOCIAL ACTIVITIES JEWS EAGER TO LEAVE EUROPE, RABBI SAYS FELLOWSHIPS WIN i Occupation Army Chaplain Tells Rally of Sentiment in D.P.

Camns. ONCE again Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower Is caught in the crossfire of politics. Fighting a war with a diverse assortment of allies was nothing compared to the intricacies of politics here at home.

It is quite clear that what happened to Gen. Douglas Mac-Arthur in Wisconsin has little or no bearing on the future of Gen. Eisenhower'. In the corrwnon-sensc judgment of the American people, there are generals and generals. One fact that makes a big difference is that Eisenhower is only 57, while MacArthur is 68.

Nomination by the Republicans of a Stone-Age candidate would be such an "obvious and overriding reason." For one thing, so 11 i i 4 4 On Jan. 22 Elsenhower made public his Ifttcr to Leonard V. Kinder, publii-her of the Munchett-ter N. Union-Leader, stating that he could not accept a presidential nomination.

Having sent that letter, he felt like a man who had been delivered from a plague of boils. He believed he had taken himself out of consideration for good and all. The latest Eis-rnhowrr boom is Eisenhower made up of at least three choirs of hopeful, not to say deypernte, Eisenhower seek- frs. They are as numerous ns br fore. They are clamorous and persistent.

The first group consists of those who believe that somehow the General can bo prevailed upon to come to the rescue cf the Democratic party. To Sidetrack Truman. Among them are party bosses who fee overwhelming defeat ahead without him. They believe the Eisenhower name will be useful in sidetracking President Truman even if. in the end.

Gen. Eisenhower says Ku more firmly than before. In the second group, and it may will be the met numerous, are those who have no connection with politics. They do have a prnse of the perilous time wc are living through and they long for a "big" man someone above the ordinary considerations of party politics. In the third group are those whose point of view would come nearest to prevailing on the reluctant Eisenhower.

They feel that, If Mr. Truman is the only choice for the Democrats and if his fortunes continue at the present low ebb, the Republicans at their convention in June may go back to me pre-3iciiniey era to find a I I i I i i liORST W.

William Heyne will direct the program, which will include numbers by a 180-voice choiu and a 30-piece orchestra. Every one of 250,000 Jews in displaced persons camps in Europe "is burning inside himself to get off the noil of Europe because it in the cemetery of his whole family," Rabbi Herbert A. Friedman, of Denver, said here yesterday. "There are another million and a quarter who also wish to leave," he added. His talk was prepared for delivery at the second annual outdoor Jewish Community Service at Walsh Stadium, but was broadcast over Radio Station KXLW when rain interrupted the meeting.

Seventy religious, social and civic organizations took part in the rally, which was sponsored by the Rabbinical Association, Board Hebrew Education and the St, Louis Jewish Welfare Fund. The fund is seeking to raise $3,600,000 for aid to Jews here and abroad. Name. (Juenlion Everywhere. Rabbi Friedman, a chaplain with the Army of Occupation In Germany, related: "I have been every single camp in Germany and 15 camps in Austria and in every one they asked me: 'How are the Jews in America doing? Do they care about us? Do they worry? Are they interested?" "And I told them: 'Sure, they're interested.

I can tell you they're fighting buck home to raise "We went ahead to set up all of programs schools, recre- ation, work-shops, everything we could think of to keep up their morale while they were waiting. "What are they waiting for? It very simple they want a home! And this world has become so brutalized that no one will take them in. It is true that some few thousands have gotten out of Europe. I was privileged to take part in negotiations with the Norwegian Government which resulted in resettlement of 600 families. Some have come to America, but only a fraction of what we should take in.

"The doors of the world are closed, except in one place Palestine. People there welcome the refugees with open arms. Their sympathy and friendship provide the only hope in a cynical world. Eight thousand got into Palestine in January of this year; 11,000 in February and 10,000 in March. Can't Stay in Europe.

"We must feed these people while they are waiting. And the second part of the job is, we must get them out of Europe. They can't stay. Don't let me hear anybody talk In terms of re-integration into Europe, resettlement into old homes. That is unrealistic it's phony.

It just won't work. "We can be at least as brave and courageous with our dollars us they are with their lives. Six million were killed. The million and a half left alive are expensivewe must help them, at any cost. bejr of von to irivo Children had a large part in the community service and Sunday schools were dismissed to permit them to attend.

Three of seven children who were on the program had spoken before the rain began to fall, forcing cancellation of the talks by the other four children. I. E. Goldstein, general chair- ui me weirare una campaign, also spoke. The drive begins here next Monday.

About 500 St. Louis artists and collectors, including City Art Mu-neum officials, attended a Chine, tea yesterday to open a comprehensive exhibition of Chinese arts and crafts from four private St.

Louis collections at the Blue Stair Studio, 392A North Euclid avenue. The objects are not for sale. Oriental atmosphere was suggested by ornate Mandarin costumes worn by hosts and hostesses, the playing of Chinese recorded music, the use of Chinese greetings and the presence of at least one authentic Chinese pair. L. Guy Blackmer, art museum board member and one of the exhibitors, welcomed guests with elaborately varied Chinese compliments coupled with humbly derogatory remnrks about himself and the studio.

Wearing the most striking of brocaded, be-dragoned nttire, he bowed low and drew more or less appropriate responses from the stream of visitors. Several addressed the tall figure a. "One Long Guy." Blackmer explained with humility that he felt obliged to take special pains to observe ritual since he was the only one of the collectors represented who had never been to China. The others are Mr. and Mrs.

Richard Draper, Mr. and Mrs. Edward Murphy and Mrs. Alexander Korsakoff Galston. Visit of Chinese.

Pond of Canton, China, who have been staying in St. Louis for the last year, were delighted to find a Cantonese mirror frame in use. With nostalgic pride, they pronounced it an excellent example of an exacting art. The headpiece is a landscape carved in marble and the ebony panels are decorated by intricate pearl inlays. Several St.

Louis collectors of Oriental art compared other objects with their own, exchanged lore on significance of symbols and gestures and sometimes differed on assignment of dates. Exhibits on view range in time, they agreed, from about 200 B. C. to the turn of the last century, and in style from the crude and primitive most often the art of the millions to extremes of formal dignity and sophistication favored by royalty. Among pieces distinguished by chaste beauty are two eighteenth century objects a bowl of imperial jade and a cup with a loose-ring handle carved from a single piece of agate.

Both were gifts from the Empress Tze-Czo to Mrs. Galston in her youth, when her father was Russian em bassy nhys'cian Rt Peining. The 'Forbidden Stitch. Other items of interest are cloisonne vases, a typical Han dog tomb figure, lent by the Mur-phys. and embroidery using th.i almost microscopic "forbidden" 3titch.

Draper exp'ained th' stitch was called because it was barred by Chinese law early in this century so embroiderers wouldn't become blind from using it-Lao Toe, god of longevity, Is variously interpreted in different media ceramic pottery, ivory and the horn of a water buffalo.

Blackmer rounds out the show with an example of graphic art, a "rubbing," or copy of a painting of a full-length figure by the artist T'ang Wu Tao Tzu. It is linear and flat in style, with almost no shading. The owner explained it was made from a carving on a- stone by laying the paper on the stone and rubbing ink uniformly over the paper surface.

This is a potent argument. It would carry weight with Gen. Eisenhower, who is thoroughly nwaro of the precarious baliinro by which the present eo-called is held together.

The danger is that Eisenhower, bedeviled and harassed, will go even further than he did before in slamming the door on a nomi- nation. That is the dilemma of those in the third group, which includes Republicans as well as Democrats. Thilip Murray of the CIO is for Eisenhower, but in all likelihood he will say nothing publicly for fear of forcing the General's hard. This caution is holding back others on the liberal-la- bor side. At the same time, however, they realize that the Eisenhower boom must be kept going with some guidance and assistance.

Too much cannot be left to chance and to the natural appeal and popu-I larity of the man. The Republican Plea. Should the Republicans nominate Harold Stassen, Senator Van-denberg or Gov. Dewey, the General would not be likely to feel any compulsion to run. He could then follow his real inclination, which is to stay in the presidency of Columbia University and keep out of politics.

Republican friends are now put ting pressutc on Eisenhower. They ration by the Democrats, telling him that this is the desperate expedient cf a bankrupt party. The argucrs, pro and con, sometimes go so far as to come knocking on the door of the Eisenhower quarters at Fort Myer in Virginia. All this gets In the way of the General's present job, which Is to write his memoirs. But that is trie of th penalties of overwhelming popularity in an ace of un- certainty.

JOURNALISM SCHOOL NEW YORK, April 12 (AP) Columbia University's graduate echool of journalism has received $1,061,250 in recent years "for the. advancement of journalism abroad nd at home." Dean Carl W. Ackcrman says in his annual report, relrased yesterday.

In the report Ackcrman said "all of this money was contributed after we changed from an undergraduate to an exclusively graduate school cf journalism 12 years ago." He said the recent contributions were the only "substantial ums" given to Columbia for journalism since the original gifts made by the late publisher Joseph Pulitzer. "They bury the myth which handicapped the school for two decades, that 'people' would not contribute to a school bearing the name of a donor who was up-posed to have provided lavishly for our needs." the dean said. "Joseph Pulitzer made a magnificent gift of $2,500,000 for the journalism building, for Pulitzer prizes, scholarships and endowments, but the income of these funds has not been sufficient to meet expenses for development." RELIGIOUS EXPERIENCE LINKED TO NATURE IN FLOWER SERMON The Rev. Dr. Theodore P.

Ferris cf Trinity Church, preaching the annual flower sermon in Christ Church Cathedral yesterday, said that a personal religious experience is aid in appreciating the beauties of nature. To the religious individual, he aid, nature offers proof of the 'orderliness of God," but to the person without religious belief, both the beauties and the un-beautiful aspects of nature may appear the result of chance. Trustees of Missouri Botanical fShaw's) Garden were present at the service, which followed a provision in the will of Henry Shaw. The trustees, headed by Richard J. Lockwood, president, marched in the processional.

Mayor Aloys P. Kaufmann was present as an ex-officio trustee. Bishop William Scarlett, also an ex-officio member, took part in the service. Flowers from the Garden decorated the Cathedral in profusion. THE REV.
