The late Secretary Knox said when the collection started on tour: "It is with pride that the navy shows, through this medium, its men and planes in action, as well as the intensive program of training which naval aviators and ground crews receive for their difficult and exacting tasks." The navy is no more grateful than the general public should be to the Abbott Laboratories for commissioning seven of our most talented artists to do these paintings. S.

DeWitt Clough, president of the company, was in town to see that his show got off to a good start. Now, the rest of us give it a well deserved pat and send it along on its way. When exhibited at the Rational Gallery in Washington, the Abbott paintings broke all attendance records. The same thing happened at New York's Metropolitan show. It's one thing to hear described the day by day battles in the war zones, but to have the stories of these battles put in vivid colors on canvas is a permanent record for all time.

The food I mean the mess out there is so wonderful it most certainly is something to talk about. From WAVE Ens.

Alice Steinborn, assistant to Lt. J. A. Weisman, comes most of this information. She loves' her job, thinks it's big business to be feeding so many hungry boys and girls in navy uniform.

Being in the center of the country's best food production, they get the finest of everything. Spinach, being a good buy now, is bought in 250-pound lots. The men's favorite foods are chocolate sundaes, meat, potatoes and gravy, while the girls go for salads and more vegetables. Actual preparation of the food is under direction of Chief Commissary Steward A. G.

Brouse, who has 20 years of catering to navy tastes behind him. He knows just how the boys like thoir favorite pot roast of beef, how to bnrbc-cue "franks" in a hot sauce, and turn out cream pies to make anyone's mouth water. They give them a good variety of meat, too. Lamb i headlined once a week. Two meatless meals are planned out of 21, with cheese and macaroni dishes being the stand-ins.

There's milk at every meal, one hot soup at noon, Sunday dinner usually features chicken. It takes careful planning not to have leftovers, but they never "create" dishes out of them. They're good enough to warm up, as is. The day I walked through the naval air station kitchens they were hulling strawberries, preparatory to feasting on their first shortcake (with whipped cream) of the season. "And do you know," ventured Ens.

Steinborn, "tonight's dessert is going to boost our weekly feeding cost up two cents per man?" It does seem there's nothing too good for the navy. If there is, they haven't found it. stone was best man. George G. Anderson and Robert M.

and De Gaulle that a similar authority was the only solution for such a region. "Only an over-all authority can reconcile the conflicting interests justly, but it must always remember to work democratically with the people of the region," he declared. Pope recalled the constant battle between Idaho and Wyoming over waters of the Snake river. "We should have had a TVA out there a generation he said. No longer a member of the board, but one whose imprint will be on TVA forever, is Arthur E.

Morgan no relative of H. A. first chairman and man partly responsible for creation of the authority. Arthur E. Morgan grew up at St.

Cloud, where his father was a surveyor. The young man attended the University of Minnesota in the early nineties, but gave up his education to go to Colorado for his health. He returned to his home state in 1905, became a surveyor and then got a job with the department of agriculture as drainage surveyor. Soon he formed his own engineering firm in Memphis nnd was an outstanding, success. In 11)13, following the disastrous Dayton flood, ho took charge of the Miami Conservancy District, building the big flood control project on the Ohio.

In 1920 he took over the almost defunct Antioch college and made it a new force in co-operative education. Appointed TVA chairman in 1933, he selected the other members, but soon broke with them over policies. You can still raise plenty of arguments down here over the controversy between Arthur E. Morgan and the rest of the board. Those members pay tribute to the first chairman's ability, yet they could not work with him.

Probably the big reason was that he insisted on too much direction, while the others wanted to work out problems with the people affected. A. E. Morgan and Lilienthal also differed on public utility policies. Whatever all the issues, A.

E. Morgan was ousted by the President and the subsequent congressional investigation left the other two members in control. It is clear that the success of a regional authority is largely dependent on the men directing it. For all the troubles attending it, the TVA board has had intelligent personnel big-minded men who have avoided the politics hampering so many governmental bodies. Editor's Note: This is the second of a series of articles by George L.

Peterson about the Tennessee Valley Authority. Peterson is touring the TVA area to study its work and report the possibilities of extending its framework to other sections of the country, such as the Missouri, river basin. His first article appeared in the Minneapolis Sunday Tribune yesterday. By GEORGE L. PETERSON Knoxville, Tenn.

COON after arriving in this headquarters city of the Tennessee Valley Authority, I set out to see the directors. Although TVA is organized as a corporation, the board of directors is much more active than a similar body in a private business. The act of congress creating the authority provided that the board direct all powers of the corporation. Chairman David E. Lilienthal compares the board to the executive committee of a private corporation.

In TVA's early days, each of the members had a specific job in addition to his directorship. The first chairman, Arthur E. Morgan, also was chief engineer. Lilienthal was general counsel. But in a reorganization, the extra jobs were dropped and members of the board concentrated on shaping policies.

However, they surrendered none of the real control. Each member receives $10,000 a year from the corporation and is forbidden to engage in any other business. Terms are for nine years, with a directorship expiring every three years. Chairman Lilienthal is sparkplug of the organization. He has done more to shape TVA than any one person.

Only 33 years old when appointed to his first term, he will be 45 in July. He was graduated from Harvard law school in 1923 and practiced in Chicago with Donald Richberg before setting up his own law office in 1926. He specialized in utility cases "on the side of tire public," he points out. In 1931, Gov. Phil LaFol-lette of Wisconsin appointed Lilienthal a civil service commissioner.

On the board he has been chiefly concerned with power matters. Harcourt A. Morgan, vice chairman of the board, says Lilienthal is a genius. He recalls with pleasure the meetings between Wendell Willkie and Lilienthal when they were threshing out the differences which led to the sale of several Commonwealth Southern electrical properties to TVA. "There were two of the finest lawyers I ever saw, each fighting for what he thought was right, each respecting the integrity and ability of the other," recalls the high-spirited Morgan.

Dr. Morgan, 77, is the elder statesman of TVA. His diplomacy and good-heartedness must have gotten the board past many tight places. Born in Canada, he was called to the agricultural faculty of Louisiana State university soon after his graduation from the University of Toronto. He came to Tennessee in 1905 as director of the agricultural experiment station here.

He was made dean of the college of agriculture in 1013 and president of the University of Tennessee in 1919. lie left that position in 1933 to serve on the first bonrd of TVA. A Chinese cabinet minister, visiting the valley recently, asked Dr. Morgan the secret of his vital' ity. "I only associate with young people," the board member answered.

Morgan specializes in agricultural problems of TVA, showing farmers the advantages of fertilizers, erosion control, good livestock and new crops. President Roosevelt appointed him chairman of the board in 1938, but in 1941 he asked to be relieved of that responsibility and Lilienthal was named chairman. Dr. Morgan's pre-eminent place is as philosopher of TVA. He offers sage counsel to any employe who asks it.

Third member of the board is James P. Pope, former senator from Idaho, appointed to TVA in 1939 to serve out the unexpired term of Arthur E. Morgan and subsequently appointed to a full nine-year term. Senator Pope is an imposing looking, friendly fellow of 60, completely sold on TVA, but he is definitely third of the board in influence. When I told him I was looking over TVA with a view to seeing hew its framework might be applied to the many problems of the Missouri river basin.

Senator Pope enthusiastically said Five Platform Planks JTHE League of Women Voters is campaigning to have both Republican and Democratic party platforms this summer include five international planks. These would: Recognize thnt the security nnd welfare of tho United States can best be served through international co-opeiation. Pledge the United States to take the initiative in leading other nations to agreement on international policies. Pledge the United States to become a member of a permanent international organization and to agreement upon the joint use of military force to suppress future attempts at military aggression by any nation. Fledge the United States to co-operation now with other countries in solutions of political, social and economic problems that are pressing, such as political policy in liberation of Axis countries, relief and reconstruction, stabilization of currencies, sir commerce, postwar shipping.

Pledge that the United States will maintain -a tariff policy which will promote, not obstruct, international trade. It may be questioned whether one or two of these proposed planks go far enough, so hard has the League tried to keep its efforts within the bounds of political possibility. Ths third plank, for example, might be objected to as being too vague. It is by no means certain that U. S.

and British military leaders have had some differences of opinion in the past but there was unanimous agreement before the invasion started, except on one point, Gen. De Gaulle. That was why the world witnessed the strange spectacle ol Allied troops landing to liberate France with not a single French soldier In the vanguard. Even in regard to De Gaulle, there was agreement between the U. S.

and British military. It was only President Roosevelt who did not agree. The British were strong for having De Gaulle as the new provisional leader of Fiance to set up a government immediately behind the invasion army. Gen. Eisenhower also favored this plan.

So did the war department. At one point. Secretary of War Stimson and Acting Secretary of State Stettinius called on the President and urged that De Gaulle be recognized as the provisional leader of France. Roosevelt, however, put them off. Later, when Churchill and Eden wanted De Gaulle to come to Washington, the President put his foot down hard.

He also opposed De Gaulle's going to London. was so adamant that it became a source of some embarrassment. He has yielded to Churchill on many things, but he refused to budge regarding De Gaulle. At the Teheran-Cairo conferences. Roosevelt found it difficult to work with Churchill on such things as restoration of Hong Kong to China and other matters affecting the British empire.

So he decided to play closer to Russia. Hence, ever since, Churchill has been playing closer to De Gaulle. Prior to Teheran, Churchill made frequent derogatory remarks to the President about De Gaulle. But after he watched U. co-operation at Teheran, he decided to build France up as a closer British ally to offset the Russians.

Therefore, the President decided to buck the British at least regarding De Gaulle. He has had the justice department look up French law and political precedent and finds that, following past wars, French cities and provinces formed their own governments and then united with other cities and provinces to establish a central government. They have never had a central governor or president, such at De Gaulle, form an over-all government for them after a war. Although the Free French are boiling mad and the British are predicting political chaos, Gen. Eisenhower will follow out this system of local government.

Childs Lauds House for Spanking Power-Hungry Rules Committee By MARQUIS CHILDS Washington. WHAT happened in the house the other day escaped general notice because people were just any "permanent International organization" will be good. However, in view of the uncertainty of other powers over whether the United States will swing back into its pre-war isolationism, even so general a stand as that proposed by the League would be an advance. The most controversial part of the League's proposed platform is the last pledge, to "maintain a tariff policy which will promote, not obstruct, international trade." Yet that comes close, to being one of the most vital decisions we have to make. American interests are bound up with the need for world-wide multilateral trade.

As worded by the League, the plank seems essential to make tick whatever new international organization may be formed. The League, furthermore, is entirely right In working for inclusion of such planks in both party platforms this summer. If that were achieved, nil foreign powers would feel surer of the United States' postwar direction, and the hands of our diplomats would be strengthened Ijfil THE DAY'S RECORD ccupied with news of the great battle.

For the opposition, it Is a heavensent opportunity to show that the Democratic party is riddled with factionalism and dissension.

Their tactics are the same as those of their fellow-conspirators who have carefully and cleverly engineered in the south a move to defeat the popular will. These courthouse connivers, who do not represent the south, know they cannot win in an open election. So they're putting up electors who will go to the electoral college to vote for any man but Roosevelt, regardless of whether the people in their respective states have cast a majority vote for a fourth term.

Stub, longtime pastor of Central Lutheran church, and J. Edward Meyers, mayor of Minneapolis a generation ago and an ardent but largely anonymous benefactor of youth. Each served the needs of his time with qualities of character, humility and devotion which have left their permanent imprint upon the community. In outward shape the problems of the community may differ from those of generations past, but they will not be solved if we do not cling to and remember the traits of which, from such men as Dr. Stub and Mr.

Meyers, we are the inheritors. EVACUATION .01 .16 OF Pierre 61 61 .42 N. Plattu 59 5H 39 Rapid C. 52 51 1.22 lOkla. C.

To the Editor: The suggestion (Everybody's Ideas June 2) that a Boy's day and a Girl's day be added to our calendar of special observances is prompted by a worthy thought. The fact is, however, that such a day has been observed for almost 90 years. In 1S56, Dr.

C. H. Leonard, pastor of the Uni-versalist church in Chelsea, instituted a Children's day upon the second Sunday in June. Since that time, the observance has become quite general in churches and, fortunately, has remained free from commercial exploitation. If we are to have any more special days or weeks, let's make them Friendship days (perhaps linked with the Aquatennial) when everyone shall wear a smile and give away a thank-you.

Minneapolis. Carl IL Olson. To the Editor: I note the suggestion for a Boy's day to follow Father's day and a Girl's day to follow Mother's day. Why horn in on Mother's and Father's day? Boys and girls of today will become fathers and mothers in due time and will then come in for their share of appreciation. I was disgusted this Mother's day to read greeting cards worded: "To a wonderful sister on Mother's day" and "favorite aunt on Mother's day." Let's not interfere with their days set apart in appreciation.

DIVORCES GRANTED The Ra Did advance of American and British troops through central Italy is not surprising. With the capture of Rome the strategic tables were quickly turned. All that remains of importance to Germany in Italy now is the defense of the north, consisting of the industrial triangle, Genoa-Turin-Milan, and Venice and the Po valley, gateway to Austria and Yugoslavia. These are now chiefly important as being the outer barriers to Germany proper. But with the invasion of France, all Italian fighting has become secondary.

If the Germans smash our invasion forces in the north, they can return in force to Italy almost at their leisure. If we win in France and the Lowlands, Italy will not matter anyway. committee to decide what legislation congress shall consider. There are 435 members in the house. There are 14 members of the house rules committee, and six or seven is usually a working majority.

This little handful of wilful men southern Democrats with two or three Republicans have undertaken not merely to say what the house shall consider. They have refused to grant priority to legislation until it has been trimmed and amended to suit their individual tastes. Here's how they get away with it. Before most bills can be brought up in the house, they must be granted a rule by the rules committee. That is a working procedure which the obstructionists have seriously abused.

The other day, they went too far. A legislative committee as contrasted to a procedural committee had held long, painstaking hearings on extension of price control. The banking and currency committee had done a thorough job of study and analysis. Then along came the rules committee and disregarded all this work. They gave equal precedence to a hodge-podge measure into which not only price control but labor legislation had been lumped a measure which had little basis in hearings or public analysis of the legislation.

This was the work of Representative Howard Smith of Virginia, one of the group of wilful men dominating the rules committee. When Smith stood upon the floor to complain about criticism of him in this column, he touched off the revolt. Speaker Rayburn did something he has rarely done. He came down into the well of the house and spoke against the seven or eight men who have given themselves imperial powers in deciding what the elected representatives of the people shall be permitted to debate. Representative Wolcott of Michigan, ranking Republican member on the banking and currency committee, spoke out against this power grab.

So did others. Then the house voted on whether the rules committee should or should not be upheld in this latest effort to usurp the legislative function. The vote was 153 against the obstructionists, and 64 for them. The revolt had succeeded. Smith of Virginia, Eugene Cox of Georgia, Martin Dies of TexaJr-these are the men who trln.

Chorus of Ordnance Plant in Concert MUSIC The Case for the Negro To the Editor: Your correspondent of June 7 who argued against the Negro showed deep-seated Ignorance and prejudice. It should not take a person of great intelligence to completely disprove his statements, while others more intelligent than I may pass him off as a crackpot.

Deprivation of educational facilities backed by social and economic smothering does not tend to bring an individual up to the standards set by our formal education. What feeling other than "belligerence" can these people foster, when constantly being stepped upon? How can they respect others in their "vicinity" when they themselves are not respected? Their belligerence shows that they at least have acknowledged the fundamental American truth that all men are created equal and should be treated as such. According to army intelligence tests, southern whites rate no better than the southern Negroes of the same economic level. However, northern Negroes of the same economic level rate much higher than these southern whites. I would like an explanation of how the southern Negro is "self-centered" and at the same time "just not interested in bettering himself, whether physically or mentally." The recent film "The Negro Soldier" shows the glorious part the Negro has played in our history.

Let the Star Journal ask that correspondent the question he put to them, changing one word.

Edwin Torgerson, 2148 Cjarter av. 61. Municipal Planners are becoming Increasingly concerned about the exodus of city dwellers to the suburbs with a resultant decline In property values and a drop in Interest in municipal affairs. The trend is explained by an eminent literary figure in these words: "The whole character of the city has undergone a complete change. At present, the bankers, the merchants and the chief shopkeepers repair thither on six mornings of every week for the transaction of business, but they reside in other quarters of the metropolis or at suburban country seats surrounded by shrubberies and flower gardens.

"This revolution in private habits has produced a political revolution of no small importance. The city is no longer regarded by the wealthier traders with that attachment which every man naturally feels for his home. It is no longer associated in their minds with domestic affection and endearments- The fireside, the nursery, the social table, the quiet bed are not there "The chiefs of the mercantile interests are no longer citizens. They avoid, they almost condemn municipal honors and duties. Those honors and duties are abandoned to men, who, though useful and highly respectable, seldom belong to the princely commercial houses of which the names are renowned throughout the world." This apt description is from Macauley's "History of England" written about 100 years ago which only goes to show and fluency of line, with no forcing.

Mozart and Bach (from a war plant!) opened the program, the first being the Gloria from the Twelfth Mass, crisp in attack, steady-rhythmed and compact in tone, the second "At the Feet," where a devotional spirit was sensitively evoked. Nine other numbers of varied character, light and classic, filled out the program. Olive Nelson Russell's exuberant "Spring Gal," brought merited applause to the group's co-accompanist, an arrangement of the Tschaikowsky andante from the Fifth symphony was effectively done and the Gershwin excerpts from "Porgy and Bess" made a decided hit with the audience. Two soloists made pleasing impressions Ardis Hermundslie and Noel Wittig, and Worthy Turner took the incidental solo in Glover's "Rose of Tralee." Virginia Daugaard served with Mrs. Russell in accompanying the choir, and Mildred French gave piano support to the two soloists.

By JOHN K. SHERMAN HAVEN'T heard all of them, or even many of them, but institutional choirs must be growing better all the time, if the singing of the Twin Cities Ordnance Plant chorus is a fair sample of what's being done in that field. My guess would be that this 100-voiced chorus represents a new "high" in tonal and interpretative excellence among organizations of its kind. Its second annual loop concert last night in the Lyceum theater was a really artistic performance, where many voices were blended into a plastic unit capable of reaching and holding beauty of both sound and message. Clarence H.

Russell has a clear, firm beat and his tempos are alert, intelligently varied and never eccentric for the sake of easy or sensational effect. He has taught his choristers to phrase nicely, and in unison there were many smooth transitions from forte to piano and back again, and the effect of the whole Xfas one of grace R. G. Kroll.
