Critics who deplore the lack of U. S. "native" art had no reason this week to complain of the work of Sanford Ross who, at 27, was holding his third one-man show in Manhattan's swank Reinhardt Galleries. Born in Orange, N.

Only exception to this eagerness to complain was in Forum No. 3 (trade practices). The United States Patriotic Society Inc. ran public notices in the Press saying that it would be glad to represent complainers at the meeting, free of charge.
