ATHENS ART ASSOCIATION IS ADDRESSED
BY MITTELL, SPEAKING ON “ART METHODS"”
By JEANETTE WILEY
“The present breach between
laymen and artists is the artist’s
fault. He insists upon exhibiting
his problem pictures and the lay
man {8 not prepared to under
stand them,” declared C. K. Mit
tell, associate University profes
sor of fine arts, in a talk on “Art
Methods” to the Athens Art As
sociation, Wednesday.
“All grt i{s symbolism”, he con
tinued. “If a symbol resembles
what it is supposed to represent,
the layman ean understand it; if
it is distorted, the meaning is
lost.
“One person’s opinion is as
good as another's as to what con
stituteg true art, if he has studied
the past ecarefully and decided
what in art is best, An artist de
cided for himself what is best;
otherwise, his work lacks convic
tion To be lasting, a work has to
be connected with tradition, be
cause that goes on, though it is
ever-changing”.
Mr. Mittell discussed the mer
its of several mediums of art
work, including tempera, oil, mos=
alic and fresco, He sketched the
history of methods of picture dls

methods of picture display and the
development of modern painting’
Herbert Sonthoff, German ex
change student, discussed Geérman
architecture, illustrating with the
pictures now on display in Dem:
esthenian Hall. Asserting that “a
country’'s architecture is an exs
pression of the general cultural
level of its people,” Sonthoff gave
it as his opinion that “America’'s
architecture shows that a distinet
state of culture has not yet heen
reached by the American people.
“American churches look like
assembly halls rather than builds
ings with a religious purpose”, he
said. “German medieval church
es, in Gothic style, ‘point towarl
heaven”; modern German church
es show the simplicity and pur
ity which are characteristic of
the people, who are very pious,
internally. Germany believes in
heautifying her factories, also, be
‘(’ause she realizes that the laborer
spends most of his time there, and
beautiful surroundings help con
vince him that his work ig worth
while. German apartment houses,
even, In which most of the peo
‘ple live, have a definite expres
gion. Architects try to give them
a face.”

Norris emphasized he would

Several hundred flood refugees
watched the surging, tawny Ala
bama and Cahaba rivers in cen

the headwaterg showed the streams
receding. Danger still was pres

Georgia were blanketed with snow.
Rescue crews continued to cruise
the Cahaba river north of Selma,
with one crew reporting two per

Mayor Licien Burns at Selma, that
his boat was sunk after taking
aboard a young Negro girl and an
aged Negro man. In the darkness,
Givhan said, the rescue crew strug
gled to safety but saw no more of
the pair rescued.

Decision Not Yet

(Continued ¥From Page One)
the door open today for new levies.
The sentiment in congress for
making the tax bill as small as
possible in a campaign year be
came virtually an insistent demand.
The powerful house steering com
mittee went on record, in secret
session, as opposed to new taxes
now to pay the soldiers’ bonus of
more than $2,000,000,000.
Another Scheme
Chairman Sabath, Democrat, Illi
nois, who disclosed the vote, said:
“We understand the president
has evolved a scheme by which we
could find the money somewhere
else.”
The Wagner suggestion gained
support as the senate drove into
further debate on the neéw farm
plan which is being piloted by
Senator Smith, Democrat, South
QCarolina, toward an expected vote
next Monday or Tuesday,
(Theé bill would provide a sys
tem of subsidies to farmers who
would cooperate in ‘‘conserving
soil” by withdrawing acreage from
commercial crop production, The
government would grant the sub
sidies either directly to the farme
er, or indirectly through states
which desired to cooperate in the
plan. In apportioning the money,
officials would take into considerae=
tion acreage and value of major
cropg produced by farmers in a
period of the past.)
Legality Questioned ;
Senator Wagner was one of those
who questioned the legality of the
present bill in view of the supreme
court’s invalidation of AAA crop
control,
“I don’t agree with the court's
decision at all,” he said, “but ac
cepting it, this bill offends the de
cision of the six justices just as
much as the AAA.”
But Chairman Smith, Democrat,
South Carolina, of the senate agri«
culture committee defended it, say
ing “this is a coordination of fed
eral power with state power to ace
complish the best possible for agri
culture,”

Dr. Evans said in an interview
coincident with the conventiofian
nouncement that “white suprema
cy,” the issue upon which the
modern day Klan sprang into be
ing “does not need to be pros
tituted to political purposes.” -
“I deplore the race issue in poli
tics,” he said. “White supremacy
is enshrined in the hearts of the
white people of the South, We
have adequate laws against mis
cegenation to protect this princi
ple-"
He waves aside the plight of
southern sharecroppers and dis
counted communism as an issue.
“The condition of the agrarian
is getting better without regard
to section,” he said. ?
Today, he said, the Klan is a
purely patriotic order “putténg on
a concerted drive for the depor
tation of alients illegally in this
country—more especially criminal
aliens.”
The Klan's next “great fight”
Dr. Evans added, “wlil be one for
health, the purification of the
blood stream of the American
people.”
He said the organization has ac
tive Klans “in every state in the
union.”

mounted. The men used bows

arrows.
