PAGE ETGHT MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. OREGON, MONDAY, JULY 8, 1940. WPA Artists Put Russian Garb On Wright Brothers Stalin Statue Included Invasion of Britain May Fail If Civilian Population Shows Courage to Withstand Bombs New York, July 8. IIP) Bre hon B. Somervell, New ' York WPA administrator, today or dered three of lour murali re cently hung in the administra tion building at Floyd Bennett field burned, declaring they were "obviously communist mu rals." The murals, which required more than three years to com plete were a WPA federal art project. Colonel Somervell's action followed protests by several groups who asserted the murals showed the Wright Brothers at Kitty Hawk In Russian peasant costumes: a red statue of Joseph Stalin with a fallen aviator at his feet; a red star instead of the correct white star insignia on a painting of the U. S. naval reserve hangar at the field, and painting of the Soviet plane which flew from Moscow to California several years ago. One Fit of Taint The fourth mural, depicting the history of flying, will not be destroyed, Somervell ruling it was free of propaganda taint. One artist who assisted In painting the murals has already been discharged from WPA, he (aid, for refusal to sign an affi davit that he was not a member of the communist party or of the nazl bund. Somervell named him as Au gust Henkle, 59, who had been on the arts project since Feb. 24, 1936, and said he was check ing the history of the mural project and that any official or artist who took part In the work would be dropped from WPA. By DsWitt MacKensl Whether England can ward off the Impending Nazi air-attack in connection with the pro jected Invasion will depend in no small degree on how much civilian slaughter can be en dured without cracking the mor ale of its military defenders. It's one thing for soldiers to face death for themselves, and quite another to see their wo men and children blown to pieces. Under the best of circum stances, mass-bombing over Bri tain is bound to result In ter rible civilian casualties. The bulk of its population lives in the congested industrial areas. Military objectives and civilians are so intermingled that there is no way of 'bombing one and not the other. If the people can stick In their little bomb-proofs, or such shel ter as they can find, there will be man-power enough to do a sizable Job of looking after the injured, extinguishing fires, and opposing any actual invasion. It's a terrific strain to remain glued to spot under heavy bombing actually much more difficult than being in action against the enemy. However, the British are facing the com ing storm under no delusions. Old and young alike know that death lurks in the sky and that many must die. All indications are that they are determined to see it through under the leader ship of Premier Churchill, who has told them: "I have nothing to offer but blood, toll, tears and sweat. . . . Without victory there is no sur vival." Britain is beginning to move women and children out of the country. Some already have ar rived in Canada and the United States, and many more will come if there is time before the German attack begins. GIVEN $25 FINE BALL TEAM, 3 TO 0 Dm Mall Tribune want ada.
