...Europe's propaganda* war the Germans have, as might have been expected, come out second best. They often handle the art of communication clumsily. In War II, when they have not been caught stupidly lying-as when they insisted the Ark Royal had been sunk, even though a U.

S. for the Carnegie International, world's biggest competitive show of contemporary painting. In the Institute's galleries they are expertly hung by Jack Nash, a slight, nervous, white-pated ex-jockey. Once the jury of award did the hanging, but for the past 20 years Director Homer Saint-Gaudens has given the job to Jack, who pays small heed to names, more to effect.
