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.

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.
