...postwar years, children's pictures all over Europe and Asia showed two common themes: food and ruins. Last week an art contest, sponsored by a French magazine and UNESCO, bringing forth children's work from 34 countries, showed that the specters of hunger and war have somewhat receded. Regional moods could be detected. Scandinavian pictures were dark and brooding, Italian entries sunny and gay. One youngster from the Cameroons painted a fearsome witchdoctor, a Hungarian contestant did a festival scene with a hammer & sickle. Worldwide winner: Tulip Fields, an imaginative, untroubled pastoral by The Netherlands' Hans Evendik...
...There are still plenty of Jeffers admirers who would not hesitate to proclaim him the greatest living U.S. poet. The qualities they have liked in him-his violence, his darkly unrelenting, tragic view of human existence, his lines surging with the momentum of Pacific rollers-are all present in Hunger-field, his first book in five years.

"Most of these people," he said, "were deprived in their early lives of love and affection, and experienced poverty, punishment and regimentation. Symbolically, money represents the love, affection and security . . . for which they have an insatiable craving." At the opposite end of the spectrum are compulsive spenders, who may become sick if they are forced to save or stop spending. Many of these, says Dr. Kaufman, were overprotected in childhood...
...origin of the movement, said Vilakazi, is partly a rejection of what has been called "the apostasy of the missionary churches" from the early simplicity of Christianity and of the first missionaries. But it is even more a manifestation of the hunger of the colored man to be free of white domination and stand on his own-"the creed of 'Africa for the Africans' as expressed in church terms...
