Eisenhower Applauded In Houston

B1 The Associated PressHOUSTON — Houstonians by

the thousands cheered President Dwight Eisenhower yesterday on his motorcade down Main Street. Confetti and shredded paper rained down from office buildings.

Captain Tom Sawyer of the Houston Police Department esti­mated the crowd along the route at 300,000. Police estimated an­other 2,500 were at the airport when the president flew here from his meeting with Mexico’s Presi­dent Adolfo Lopez Mateos at Ciu­dad Acuna, Mexico, earlier in the day.

Eisenhower was returning to his native Texas for what was billed at a non-political speech at Rice University. However Eisenhower carried Texas in 1952 and 1956 and backers of Vice President Richard M. Nixon were hoping that the president’s speech will help keep Texas’ 24 electoral votes in the GOP column. •

During TripOn the trip down Main Street

.Eisenhower stood in the back of ft white open car smiling and waving to the crowds.

Mayor Lewis Cutrer, who rode beside him, had greeted the presi­dent at the airport and flew with him by a special army helicopter the 15 miles to a downtown park­ing lot opposite the Harris County Courthouse.

As the President stepped from the helicopter, Mrs. Oveta Culp

each other and the President kissed Mrs. Hobby on the cheek.

Mrs. Hobby is a former secre­tary of welfare in the Eisenhower administration and editor and president of the Houston Post. The newspaper has endorsed Nixon.

Also among those greeting Ei­senhower was former Gov. Allan Shivers of Texas, who supported Eisenhower in 1952 and 1956 and now heads Texans for Nixon- Lodge.”

Private ChatWhen the greetings were fin­

ished, the President, Mrs. Hobby and Shivers withdrew to the side and chatted privately. Eisenhower and Shivers stood with arms around each other’s shoulders.

When the President reached the Shamrock-Hilton Hotel, where he will spend the night, a big cheer went up from the crowd there and several high school bands blared out.

After he relaxed briefly in his suit the President went several doors down the hall to meet with Republican party leaders and can­didates.

In the group were John Tower, Republican candidate for the US Senate seat to which Democrat Lyndon B. Johnson seeks re-elec­tion; William Steger, candidate for governor; three congressional candidates, James Noonan, A. J. Farris and Fred Newman; Repub­lican state chairman Thad Hutche­son and Republican National Corn-

Hobby ran up to him. They hugged mitteeman Albert Fay.

★ ★ ★Expert Says, Man On Mars Likely

DALLAS, Tex.—Dr. Wernher Von Braun said Monday that the United States soon will be able to put a man on Mars and keep him alive longer than a native of the tropics could exist in the Arctic.

The Army missile expert said ability to live on Mars may become increasinly important.

“Man has learned to live and multiply so proficiently that if he keeps it up for another 500 years he won’t have a place to sleep because there’ll be ‘standing room only’ on this planet,” said Von Braun.

★ ★ ★MoIIet Charges France Hurting Unity

PARIS—Former Premier Guy Mollet, emerging as generalissimo of the forces seeking to censure the government of President Charles de Gaulle, charged Monday that France is endangering Western unity.

“If you let yourselves go on down hill, we shall be led to grave events,” he warned De Gaulle’s handpicked premier, Michel Debre. “An isolated nation cannot defend itself.”

The Socialist leader, who encouraged DeGaulle’s return to power to avert civil war in May 1958, was heading a four-party attempt to un­seat the Gaullist Cabinet.

OF LASTING BENEFIT

Krueger Art Collection Supplements Cultural Appeal of Cushing Library

By TOMMY HOLBEIN Battalion Feature Editor

One of the finest gifts ever made to A&M College is the Krue­ger Paintings Collection on display in Cushing Memorial Library.

Officially presented to the col­lege on Jan. 25, 1953, the 31 works portray the genious of European art during the past three centu­ries.

The paintings were presented to A&M by Carl C. “Polly” Krueger, Class of ‘12 and past president of the Former Students Association. They were collected by Krueger’s father during his travels in Eu­rope, and the original collection consisted of 150 paintings.

“For many years, I have wanted to do something of lasting benefit for A&M College, its students and staff. As a 1912 graduate, I am grateful for all the college did for me in preparing me for what I hope has been and will continue to

be a useful life,” said Mr. Krueger in presenting the paintings to the college in 1953.

The paintings were first on dis­play in the municipal auditorium in San Antonio, where Krueger has been president of San Antonio Machine & Supply Company since 1923. Some were also stored in a warehouse, until Kruger decided to give them to the college.

Of the 31 paintings in the Krue­ger Collection, the most valuable are those by Boucher, Pilney, Gur- litt, Corrodi and Steffani.

The most valuable of the group is “The Infant Moses Being Pre­sented to Pharoah’s Daughter” by Francois Boucher, who was court painter of King Louis XV from 1765 until his death in 1770. This is one of the very few Boucher originals in Texas, and most of his paintings hang in the Louvre in Paris.

“The Desert Traders” is Otto

Pilny’s contribution to the collec­tion. Pilny was born in Budweis in 1868, studied art in Prague, and settled down in Zurich after travel­ing in the Balkans and in Egypt. He preferred oriental scenes for his paintings, as is the “Desert Traders.”

Other Works“The Krissaien Valley in Greece”

is one of the most beautiful works of landscape art in this area of the country, drawn by Henry Louis Gurlitt during the 1800s.

The picture portrays the Kris- siaen Valley in southern Greece, along the northern shore of the Gulf of Corinth, which was in an­cient times sacred to the Delphic god and was forbidden to be culti­vated.

A very valuable painting is Ar­nold Corrodi’s “Luther’s Explana­tion of the Bible to the Elector Frederick of Saxony.” This draw­ing is probably the second most

The Effects of Effective Passing—Page 4

valuable in the collection, and con­tains great dramatic feeling, simi­lar to all of the artist’s historical works.

“Schooner in Distress”,, drawn by Luigi Steffani, shows a boat being towed in by rope and hand off a stormy sea.

Steffani, who was born in the province of Bergamo, Italy in 1828, settled in Milan and died there in 1898. Largely self-taught, he spe­cialized in marine subjects. Other paintings of the European master hang in the Gallery of Modern Art in Florence, the National Gallery of Art in Rome and in other Euro­pean museums.

The presence of these paintings' adds greatly- to the beauty and cultural influence of the Cushing Memorial Library. In an introduc­tion to brochure on them, which is available at the library, their donator said,

“If only a few viewers learn to better appreciate the artist’s por­trayals in these paintings and thus find their lives enriched and their views broadened, then I shall feel deeply rewarded.”

Six WinWoodrowFellowships

Six students at A&M have been awarded Woodrow Wilson Fellow­ships for outstanding achievement. Their names were announced yes­terday in a letter from Hans Ro- senhaupt, national director of the Woodrow Wilson National Fellow­ship Foundation.

The following students have been awarded fellowships: Stanley Louis Archer, Wilfred Earl Cle- land, Freddy Darwyn Collins, Charles Edward Hathaway III, Robert Daniel Purrington and Rob­ert S. Tapley.

Over 500 colleges and universi­ties submitted nominees for the award.

In his letter Rosenhaupt made the reminder that nominations for the next group of fellowships will close Oct. 31.

Other schools in the southwest that had students honored by the foundation included Rice Univer­sity, The University of Texas, Texas Tech, TCU, SMU, Baylor University and TWU. Also Trinity University, University of Houston, Sam Houston State College, Lamar Tech, North Texas State College, Southwestern University and St. Mary’s University.

The University of Texas had 46 students granted fellowships. Af­ter UT were Rice with 16, SMU with nine, Baylor with nine, TCU with nine and Texas Tech with five. North Texas had four, Lamar Tech had three, Trinity with two, University of Houston with two, and Texas Woman’s University with one.

Human Relations” as his topic, he suggested five religious and ethi­cal ideas which could help to fur­ther understanding and cooperation among all people.

First,, the Negro educator noted that Christianity teaches that .God is the universal Father of all man­kind. He used the words of Christ in the Lord’s Prayer as an exam­ple of this teaching.

Dean Phillip went on to say that if we have a common father, we are all brothers and sisters. Scien­tific findings have confirmed the religious concept of a common ori­gin for all mankind, he said. “From the blackest pigmy in Afri­ca to the whitest man in London, we will find the same blood types, bone structure and other physical characteristics,” the Dean pointed out.

Third BasisRecognition of the infinite worth

and supreme importance of the human personality will serve as a third basis for improved human relations, according to Dean Phil­lip. Since religion teaches that human beings are the most impor­tant thing in the world, an indi­vidual can serve God by helping his fellow man.

“A cause for universal human good is more important than the person representing it,” Dean Phil­lip said in making his fourth main point. He added that a worthwhile

cause may live on long after an individual is gone.

Used PoemTo illustrate this idea, he used

the poem, “A Dream in a Desert,” which tells how the entire human race may pass over a bridge built by the sacrifices of a relatively small number of persons.

In concluding his address, the Prairie View Dean said that love, not violence, is the only solution to injustice and evil. He indicated that Christianity teaches that a generous attitude toward men will ultimately discover, develop and challenge the best that is in him.

A summary of some of the prog­ress made by the interracial group was given following the Dean’s talk.

More than 60 Negro and white citizens from the Bryan - College Station area were present at the meeting.
