relation to the ever-present nonsense about
contemporary art.
In an age when art commentators often
go into the depths of esoteric double-talk
over unintelligible blobs, Grosser retain-
ed a sense of proportion and expresses him-
self in astringent, common-sense terms. Not
that the is against the advance-guard experi-
mentation. He just isn’t fooled by some of
its nuttier manifestations.
In this collection of essays, some from
The Nation and The National Review, the au-
thor has covered much territory.
He discusses a number of painters, most-
ly in the Post-Impressionist period and later.
He covers quite a few of the exhibitons of
* WASHINGTON COLUMN ★
We Need To Speak Up
Now and again you hear i't said
that Americans, in high places and
low, have become too timid to speak
up |or their convictions. It is even con-
that some people simply have
abandoned all conviction and exist in
what they think is a safe no-man’s-
land.
To produce any sort of conslusive
evidence would be almost impossible
without exhaustive studies in this
field. Most efforts t<rgauge~tire gen-
eral strength of people’s. convictions
are fragmentary and of only partial
value.
. O,bvi.ously^^tee«wsts . exhibit no
lack of vocal conviction. Indeed, it is
often the very force of their aggres-
sive assaults that produces timidity in
countless others of more moderate
outlook.
Men fear if they speak up for
what they see as reasonable positions
in politics, business, education, or
whatever, that they may endanger
their jobs, their status in a community,
the future of their children.
Whether there is actually more of
such fear today than in earlier per-
iods is the question. It may be so.
We live in a time marked by in-
credible complexity. Everything about
us seems to exist in shades of gray.
Yet man is a creature who likes cer-
tainty. a clear choice, a call to action
he can understand.
Inevitably,, then, many must rebel
against the shades of gray, the un-
solved puzzles, the problems piling on
problems. They meet this age by de-
manding the certainties they see slip-
ping away from them.
They insist on these clear choices
not only for themselves but for every-
body else. Thus arises the “you are
either with us or against us” approach
that characterizes a good deal of our
public debate on major issues.
If black-and-white attitudes are
expressed with great frequency and
vigor, then many of those who would
normally prefer to take a more com-
plex, more flexible stand may fear to
speak out. They conclude that their
views may be labeled fuzzy, or soft,
or defeatist, or willowy.
Some people, of course, have views
which deserve such labels. But many
others simply are trying desperately
to put themselves in tune with these
very tangled issues that confront us
on a mounting scale.
, If it is true that too many of such
voices are being silenced by fear, the
loss to the nation and perhaps the
world is thoroughly clear.
Aware of man’s long quest for
certainty, we cannot expect human be-
ings today to adjust quickly to an era
whose hallmark seeirls the very op-
posite.
, Yet the great weight of evidence
suggests that complexity is here to
stay. The sooner we learn to live with
it, the more likely is it that men who
hold views befitting that complexity
will feel generally free to speak their
Convictions.
Proposed Anti-Red Front
Gets Off to Slow Start
BY THE WASHINGTON STAFF
Newspaper Enterpri** Aim.
Washington, (NEA) — Organization of a coalition of anti-
communist groups in the United States is off to a slow start.
A first meeting of about 100 right-wing leaders was held
in Washington last March on the initiative of the Rev Billy
Janies Hargis of Christian Crusade, Tulsa, Okla.... They had
planned tiT'KoIS 'a^swGnif • rally" in' Washington' in June. Thar,
meeting has now been put off till fall.
The organization committee under'chairman Edward Hunt-
er.of Arlington, Ya., is meeting in Washington July 12. It has
taken the official name of
WW^t^^pandence; 1W-TO”'
• So far, it has put out two ietters to about 1,000 right wing
leaders believed to be interested in the movement, without
much response.
Other members of the liaison include: Maj. Gen. C. A. Wil-
loughby, Gen. Douglas MacArthur’s chief, of intelligence, 1939-
51; Brig. General Bonner Fellers, MacArthur’s chief of infor-
mation, now national chairman of an anti-foreign aid commit-
tee; Benjamin Gitlow, one of the original members of the U.
S. Communist party but for the last 40 years one of its prin-
cipal opponents; Miss Bella V. Dodd, a formei1 Communist party
lawyer expelled in 1949 and an active anti-Communist since,that
time; Rep. John H. Rousselot, R-Calif., a member of the John
Birch Society; Karl Hess, a former editor of “Counter Attack.”
United States sen-
recognized youth leader and
section evaluating many of our American
museums. And he concludes with some com-
ments on Paris exhibitions of recent years.
It is a relief to find a book of this sort.

teries of art may not get full value from it,
but at least he can understand it. Those who
have some acquaintance with painting in our
times can get much from it, because the au-

Artist and critic, Grossner also is a fine
writer.

EGGHEAD'S GUIDE TO AMERICA. By
Wade Thompson. Macmillan. $3.50.
Any resemblance between the title of
this book and its contents is slight and prob-
ably accidental.
Mainly the author is firing broadsides at
some pretty well worn targets on the Ameri-
can scene.
The first two chapters,l lumped together
under the heading of education, are on foot-
ball and fraternities. They are somewhat
dated, say around 1930.
There are three pieces related to peace
demonstrations, because of the author's in-
terest in pacifism, and two on the House
Un-American Activities Committee and the
FBI, which have been joshed before.
So have the Daughters of the American
Revolution, on which Thompson does a pret-
ty fair job.
Two other chapters, slyly combined as
“On the Entertainment Front,’ 'are related to
the Rockettes at Radio City Music Hafl and
whose Positive
Additionally, the liaison is looking for a
ator who will work with them, a
others to.bring total membership to about 10.
The official July 12 meeting will be limited to the com-
mittee members listed above. Later, however, the session will
he thrown open to interested volunteers:
Principal obstacle to forming the coalition is not lack of
members but lack of money. Hunter, a veteron newspaperman
and war correspondent, recently completed a swing around the
country to meet local rightist leaders.
He found that most of them are having trouble enough rais-
ing money to keep their own movements going.
Hunter’s present idea is that a list of 1,000 responsible anti-
Communist leaders can be mustered. They will be asked to pay
$15 a year each to the Anti-Communist Liaison Committee of
Correspondent—AGLCC—this will cover costs of preparing
and mailing out its intelligence letters to them. In this way
their efforts will be co-ordinated.
In Hunter’s first letter to prospective associates of the
coalition he declared that, “We shall not compete with any ariti-
Communist associations or individuals. We oppose merger. Our
objective is co-ordination through information. We shall have
contacts and not members. . . .
“We wilt promote contacts between organizations which

CRITIC'S EYE. By Maurice Grosser.
Dobs-Merrill. $3.95.
Grosser is an ambivalent person who is
both a painter and a critic.
He is a thoroughly professional artist, and
as a critic he has a remarkable gift—clarity
of understanding and clarity of communica-
tion.
This volume should be considered a com-
panion to his earlier work, “The Painter’s
Eye.” Readers, who can find a epoy will be
rewarded if they read that book, preferably
as an introduction to this one.
In his ambivalent role, the author must

Fort Worth, July 12 WT _
A 51-year-old man whose tem-
perature has soared above 108
degrees spent the night in a
tub of ice at John Peter Smith
Hospital in Fort Worth after
falling out of a downtown
hotel's second story window.
Doctors at the hospital said
that the fall had disrupted his
body’s temperature control sys- »
tern in .some way. They said*'
that 108 degrees is as high as
any thermometer they have will
register.
Besides the high tempera-
ture, hospital attendants pay
that the man, Harold W. Clark,
is suffering head injuries he
received in the fall. *
