L i . . The ship will be based at Newport. Howard and Duncan indi cated there was little chance the legislature would go all the way with Hatfield's plan to i abolish the commission.

Metropolitan Art Museum Confesses Forgeries Shown New York -IUPII- The Metro politan Museum of Art has confessed sadly that three "major Etruscan sculptures" which have thrilled laymen and intrigued experts for the past 30 years are forgeries. James J. Ronmer, director of the museum, said the works, so impressive that an entire room was devoted al most entirely to them, were the creation of a 20th Century forger. They supposedly dated from about 500 B.C. Impressive Size The objects are three terra colta figures of warriors of impressive size and heroic at titude. The first is a helmeted head nearly five feet high. The other two are figures eight feet and six feet high. They weigh 800 and 500 pounds respectively. Since their public display by, the museum in 1933 the figures have been the object of considerable suspicion by archaeologists. , ... The distrust of experts was finally- confirmed by the' in vestigaiions of Joseph V. Noble, operating adminislra- sculptures. tor of the museum and an ex pert on ceramics. He proved that the black glaze on the statues was pro duced not by an ancient Greek oxidizing method but by the modern dyeing agent manga nese dioxide. Deliberately Broken It also appeared that the statues had been deliberately broken into many fragments before they were placed in the firing ovens to support their authenticity when they were presented for the appraisal of museum experts. The museum would not dis close what the figures had cost nor where they had been obtained. But it is known that the price was high and it is assumed they came from Italy. They will for the moment remain on display, but with a notice describing their re duced circumstances.
