(Released by Newspaper Shared Washingtons Birthday fame of two American T HE ists rests largely upon their artas- sociation with George Washington and their portraits of him. They were Charles Willson Peale and his son, Rembrandt Peale, and coincidence also plays a part in their relationship with the Father of His Country. For Rembrandt Peale was born on Washingtons birthday February 22, 1778 and his father died on Washingtons birthday Feb- ruary RICH COTTNTY REAPER. RANDOLPH. UTAH 22, 1827. Being the son of an artist, it was only natural perhaps that Rembrandt Peale should become a 'painter. So it is not surprising to learn that he began to draw at the age of eight and by the time he was 13 he had painted a portrait of himself. Charles Willson Peale had made the first known portrait of Washington (painted in 1772 and depicting him as an officer in the Virginia militia) and had served as a captain of volunteers under him at the Battle of Trenton. When Washington became President, he was constantly importuned to sit for his portrait. Some of these requests he denied, but he could not refuse his old friend, when in 1795 Charles Willson Peale asked him to pose for his talented young son, Rembrandt. In fact, he granted the boy three sittings in his fathers studio in Philadelphia and the portrait reproduced below was the result. This portrait of Washington was the only one which Rembrandt Peale made from life, but another of his pictures of the First American, not drawn from life, is even more famous. Known as the Equestrian Portrait it is entitled Washington Before Yorktown and it was not made until 1823. But when Chief Justice John Marshall, who had served under Washington in the Revolution, saw it, he exclaimed It is more like Washington himself than any portrait I have ever seen. In 1796 Charles Willson Peale decided to give up portrait painting and recommended his talented son.

APPEAL: But Not for Men Winston Churchill in an address to the empire, but phrased also for U. S. consumption, said the British did not need American armies this year, next year or ever as far as he could foresee. But England does need munitions, he said. Give us the tools, well finish the job, he appealed. There was indication that the tools were arriving. In January U. S. factories had a quota of 700 warplanes and at midmonth expectations were that the quota would not be .met by 30 per cent. But this was an error. Survey showed 1,000 planes were produced. If half of them went to England, as the President promised, England was getting what it needed. The amounts will increase. But Adolf Hitler was carrying out his threat to torpedo American help to Britain. The planes are being flown to England, via Iceland. German bombers raided Iceland and bombed the airfield there. Iceland is 1,000 miles from the closest German air base. In four more hours d the craft could reach the North American continent. Across the Waters On the other side of the Mediterranean, in Africa, the British were sweeping the Italian troops before them. It appeared as though the rival armies would hold securely the opposite shores of the great inland sea. Marshall Graziani and his Fascist legions were retreating so fast that British armies had chased them out of virtually all of Libya and were faced with the question of pursuit pear before the senators. He said Britain can halt an invasion. But he urged that the U. S. send them more destroyers. He said five to ten a month will be necessary to keep the sealanes open. SPRING: In the Balkans Spring and Adolf Hitler came to the Balkans. The fuehrers great criticism of World war tactics was that Germany permitted itself to become involved on two fronts at the same time. He has always avoided this. Whether his movement into Bulgaria and toward the Dardanelles was an indication that he did not intend to move against England imBut it mediately was not clear. seemed apparent that Germanys next campaign would be toward the Mediterranean. For months hundreds of thousands of German troops have been moved into Rumania. The revolution that ousted King Carol put Nazis in control of the government. These native, Nazis quickly put themselves under order of Germany. Rumanian oilfields and railroads became subject to their direction. First news of the infiltration of German soldiers into Rumania came in a speech by Winston Churchill. Sofia denied it, but within 24 hours neutral sources made it known that thousands of German soldiers in uniform, but wearing civilian overcoats, were passing the border into Bulgaria. Then came swarms of Nazi transport planes with parachute troops. "Bulgarian railroads suddenly restricted civilian traffic. Bulgaria had depended upon Russia for protection. It was a false hope. Moscow sent an envoy to tell Bulgar ministers not to expect them to fight. Bulgaria and Turkey, who had spoken big but not mobilized their troops, suddenly began to talk m Creamer and Sugar Motif for Panholders FULGENCIO BATISTA For him, two events one blessed. Fulgencio Batista, president of Cuba, is a study in contrasts. In 1933, he organized a revolution, squashed the rule of aristocrats. At any time thereafter he could have become president. He chose instead, to accept promotion from army sergeant to colonel and head the army. But under his dictatorial regime, Cuban citizens had their civil rights extended, schools, were built, peons given land and the national administration put on a business basis. Last year' Batista decided to seek the presidency. He could have seized the office with little trouble. Instead he resigned from the army, campaigned in American style and gave the island its .quietest election in history. But there has been unrest in Cuba, and the crop of rumors of new revolutions have been on the usual weekly quota. Last summer when Rotary International held its convention in Cuba, many delegates were so impressed by the rumors that they went to bed each night with trepedi-tioMany of the delegates from the United States . came home alarmed. They told of Nazi penetration in the island, how newspapers openly confessed German subsidy, how German lotteries were being operated, with the winners impressed the largess came from the German government. They said German were being supplied along isolated spots of Cuban territory. The facts may be true or otherwise, but many delegates were impressed. Through it all, Fulgencio Batista showed no signs of being alarmed. Then suddenly as this winters tourists were at their height, one night they saw sandbags being erected around the presidential palace and machine guns being mounted on public buildings. Batista was holding conference with his leading military commanders. Batista announced that all civil rights were suspended. The following day a Cuban army plane landed at Miami, Fla., and there alighted Col. Jose E. Pedraza, chief of the Cuban army; Lieut. Col. Angel A. Gonzales, commander-in-chie- f of the navy, and Col. Bernardo Garcia, chief of the national police. With them were their families. Back in Havana, Batista announced they had resigned after he caught them in certain unnamed seditious acts. Civil rights were returned to the people. Cuba was quiet again. There was still more rejoicing the following day., Senora Eliza Godinez de Batista, wife of the president, gave birth to a daughter in the presidential palace. President Batista announced immediately that every child born on the island that day would receive a note, and a savings account in the Cuban Postal Savings.

But in Vichy aged Marshal Petain was bowing to the instructions of the Fascist-minde- d Admiral Darlan and it was believed Pierre Laval might soon return from Paris to take over the helm of government. Spains General Franco was en route through southern Europe for a conference with Premier Mussolini. It was said Mussolini would make a supreme effort to get Spain into the war on the side of the Axis and permit an attack on Gibraltar. In eastern Africa, the Italians also were losing fast. Hemmed in on all sides by British troops and Ethiopian warriors they knew not which way to retreat. Meanwhile British bombers raided Italy. They dropped 300 tons of bombs and naval shells upon Genoa where Winston Churchill said a Nazi army was preparing to embark for Africa. The spring campaign had begun. O: In the U. S. A chambermaid in a second class Washington hotel opened a guests room and found a man sprawled over the bed in a pool of blood. She called police.

C., where he had his studio for several years. In 1801 he went to England to continue his studies under his fathers instructor, the famous Benjamin West, but after a short time there his health failed and he returned to his home in Philadelphia. He intended to abandon art for agriculture but,' after painting a few portraits, he was surprised to find himself hailed as a worthy successor to his famous father. In 1804 he advertised himself as Rembrandt, portrait painter in large and small, head of Mulberry court, leading from Sixth, three doors above Market street and explained that he desired to be known by his first name alone, the adjunct Peale serving only to show of whom descended. Three years later he visited Paris to paint the most distinguished men of the day and was successful in this enterprise. After a second trip to Paris in 1809, he came back to America the follow-in- g year and from .that time, until his death in 1860, his fame as a portraitist, a painter of historic scenes and a lithographer (one of the first to practice the art in America) was undiminished.
