in bronze so they will be durable.
The collection is called "The Liv

The project originated among a
croup of Washington men ' who
thought it would be a good idea to
have preserved in sculptured form
men of this war period. The prob
lem was to find a sculptor, to de
-fray ' the cast and to arrange for
sittings. ' - The cost is borne by the
Kiplinger organization which is'

sculptor is Max Kalish, one of the
country's leading sculptors. t
Kalish did his modeling in the
offices of his subjects. It took two
half-hour . periods for each. At
first there was difficulty in get
ting public men to give that much
time, but -.when the project was
explained they consented, and Ka

The clay models were taken to his
studio in New York and there de
veloped to the finished form and
cast in bronze. .

American troops who drove the
last of its desperately resisting

of nazis hopelessly trapped in

mass of wreckage. There were es

1000 Germans trapped in the vise,
in addition to approximately 2000
already captured.
