Eva Llorens who now resides New Haven was bom in Marid, Spain. Her father, Fraa- sco Diaz Llorens, was a dis- nguished painter and professor the University of Madrid. Miss orens has been in this country nee 1954 and studied at the joston Museum school and Yale niversity.

She to u- er an International Grant of the imerican Association of Univer- ty Women. In 1968 the re- eived the Clarissa Bartlett trav- ing fellowship and traveled ex- ensively through Europe. Mlas orens received her M.A. from ale university in 1962 and she is now a member of the faculty of Southern Connecticut State college. The paintings of Eva Llorens derive from nature; figure or landscape being in everyone of her paintings.

Generally, only the substance Is in the picture without unnecessary obsolete elements. Sometimes the li an evasive one when the plastic substance of the painting takes over, yet the theme is underneath and recognizable. INDIA'S REDS BACK NEHRU PRAGUE-fAP) India's Communist Chairman, S. A. Dangc, has met here with Czechoslovak Central Committee Secretary, Jiri Hendrych, to describe his party's position in India-China border conflict, the official news agency CTK reports.

recently met with Soviet Premier Khrushchev in Moscow with word that the Reds think, in this case, Nehru Is right. (3) The growing strength of Cuba and the coming victorious Latin American conference definitely pro-Castro-Cuban. (4) The ravages of Mother Nature in the Midwest as to floods, tornadoes, extreme heat and cold waves! (5) The blcod-ln-the-streets type of revolution when the Labor party comes into power in England which will be the beginning of the end for that unhappy power. (6) The complete freedom of Ireland from the Crown. (7) The increased intensity of the NAACP for the advancement of the Negro in every section of America, through boycott (selected buying) sit-ins, walk-ins and a march of a million strong to Washington, D.

in a White House protest. (8) The failure of the free European market bloc due to the barter system of so many matches for so many toothpicks which will not solve the puzzle aut only complicate it. (9) The most effective anticommunist boycott by the Catho- ic and other religions against all Russian-made goods which will reach into the smallest town store-and be 100 per cent anti- CRISWELL PREDICTS Mw I predict that the ten top stories of the coming 12 months will be: (1) The collapse and the dissolution of the United Nations much to the sorrow of Russia and her red liberals. (2) The death, self-willed, of very famed international diplo-' mat and leader through alcohol and dissipation. Russian.

(10) The shocking imount ot deaths of famous people In high places. CARDS ON THE TABLE--I predict that 1963 will be the year the are on the table for all to see. The duplicity of xiliticians! The shallow promises of world leaders! The travesty of justice In high places! Congressmen who carry water on both shoulders! Men who lure others on with a harlot's promise! The shocking expose ot man yforeign- ers who seek to undermine and rot away our very foundations! The bitter battle between the Do-GoodiTj" (who seek to materialize our spiritual concepts) and the church tattlers (who seek to hold the Biblical 1 In reasoning) plus the confusion of government medling! Yes, the cards will be on the lable for all to see In Desperate men will take desperate The 1 wayward will be lost in the passing shuffle! BACK FENCE GOSSIP-- I predict that the future back fence in Washington, D. New York and Hollywood will concern (1) a very famous student who attends classes In a drunken stupor (2) the failing life of a very famed leader whose name is not printed in advance news stories due to the expected death (3) the bitter ugly hate between a British diplomat and his wife which will erupt any moment Into frenzied headlines (4) the sleeping tablet hebit of movie queen which will end in tragedy a la Marilyn Monroe and (S) the dissipation of a famed son of a famous father which will place him behind the doors of a mental Institution lorever and now on! EVENTS TO COME--I predict hat one million Negroes will take advantage of an offered "Freedom Ride North" in the first months of 1X3. This mlgra- ion will be one of the heaviest all history.

I predict that when the communist aircraft bomb the number one target will be church bulM- ngs for they feel that the psycho- oglcnl destruction of sacred iroperty can be a shock to the itamina ot the individual. I predict that the federal sales ax of 5 per cent on alt rental property to be paid by the renter direct on nil Income tax will aid he school tax. Any hotel room, motel room, dwelling, apartment or house that is rented and not owned by the occupant, must be subject to this per cent tax. I predict that the next major breakthrough In medicine will concern the hing cancer. This ong enemy of mankind will become less and less of a threat as he year rolls on.

I predict that that number one threat to America will be the communist members of many abor unions who will seek to bment and stir up labor troubles the mon peaceful areas of operation. A national has been boasted about starting July 4 and ending Labor Day. I predict that Wall street will refuse to list many foreign stocks and bonds they are "unsavory" and "unsafe" tnvtatnott buy. You can expect SEC to act quickly and somewhat dramatically en flood of DM- i and worthless atockt awl bonds to trusting American investors. WHAT PEOPLE WILL DO -I predict that tha very well went of failure of lifting on a famous Hollywood leading man and TV star will soon be made public through a law suit of malpractice.

This star's face now looks like the Phantom of the Opera. I predict that Queen Elizabeth II will come into far more criticism In 1963 than to date, due to the mounting cost of pomp and circumstance. The smile of royalty will soon give way to the snarl of arrogance and disdain. Uneasy lies the head that wears the British crown. I predict that former Vice President Richard M.

Nixon wilt again ride the crest of political popularity when he is called to testify in the coming communist trials in Washington, D.C. The more the communists denounce Mr. Nixon the greater the hero he will appear. I predict that Rachel Mussolini. the widow of the late dictator of Italy, will make a whirlwind tour of the world for Italian products, winning the acclaim and respect of all.

I predict that Castro of Cuba will calmly take his place with Russia on the dais of the United Nations in New York and scream defiance at America. The next Pentagon step will be to divide the boys from the men, "the red liberals who want to go soft on communistic expansion and the Americans who seek to slop it at once." I predict that the private correspondence of the late poetess Edna St. Vincent Millay will be the next literary sensation of your favorite bookstore. SWEEPING TIDE--I predict that the sweeping tide of 1963 will hear far. I predict that Medicare will loom'as the number one threat to your personal liberty.

Every doctor, dentist, nurse and echnician will be drafted Into a huge health army at base pay. Anyone caught practicing medicine outside of government supervision could easily be charged wilh desertion and treason. Private doctors would no longer exist, nor would private hospitals. You, as a citizen, would be a private in the health army, and you must accede lo the wishes of your superior, the doctor, nurse, dentist or technician, or suffer a felony charge. All medical items, even to the lowest aspirin or viu- man table would only be sold in a federal post office type of building.

Prescriptions also would be filled here. You would be forced to take medicine whether you thought you needed the treatment or not. Religious objections would not be tolerated. Many men and women would be made sterile at once, the "super' race" theory would be rampant Legalized abortion would be widely practiced. Drug addicts, alcoholics and the mentally unstable would be rounded up like herds of wild horses.

The barbaric treatment in the name of medicine would make even the most robust pale. Within ourselves we would plant the seed of our own destruction. Is this what we can expect of the sweeping tide Medicare? INCREDIBLE to be free of '63--and more this in '64--but to alive in '65!" Yes, for 1963 is "The Year of the Rabbit" ordained 4.000 years ago by the austere Chinese who really gave us a patchwork quilt of the future at that early time. Sydney Omarr, the famed syn dicated a strologist makes no pretense about the importance the planets where wayward China is concerned. Omarr forecast: "The practical signs of the Chim zodiac portends to conservatism rather than liberalism.

The prac tical mind of I he Chinese could very easily overcome the nounce (Vthe-moment, China faces period of capitalist old -stin adage "Ex Lux" could come to pass' to our lifelines! (From the East'always comes the power.) Yes, stars could well predict future China." The Great Cherrio had predicted that "In 1963 old values would come back into fashion, and the many newer ones would be discarded." Yomito, the Japanese seer, brecasls "England and America will come to a parting of the ways, and France, under the 20th Charlemagne (Charles 3eGaulle) will zoom again into world leadership. The luck of the impire will run out at the gam- iling tables. Japan will defy communism in every form." Mark Twain, whose salty sat- re has been rubbed deeply into the wounds of the great and near- great, confides: "To hear the lament of many about the poverty of others as though they had just discovered it, are to be reminded lhat since the world began we have always had (he 'poor wilh us' and always will!" ST. JOHN'S TO GIVE PAGEANT OF LIGHTS The Feast of Lights pageant will be given today at 4 p.m. by the Young People's Fellowship of St.

John's Episcopal church, 768 Fairfield avenue.
