Oriental Knick-Knacks Shown in Art Museum
Chinese and Japanese glass work, pottery, lacquered art objects, and ivory carvings are displayed in the downstairs gallery of the Museum of Art.
A new installation of Oriental decorative arts, the display is a small part of the William B. Thayer collection, a gift to the museum.
Chinese glass in the display illustrates the technique of cameo glass which Edward Maser, museum curator, said was much in use after the 17th century. Vessels made of white or colored glass were dipped into molten glass of another color, he said, and the outer color was then chipped away to allow the color underneath to show through in a particular pattern.

The Japanese sometimes used patterns for pottery which were formed accidentally when heavy glazes were poured over bowls or other vessels, Mr. Maser said. Much of the Japanese pottery has simple forms, one pieceplain is covered with a design of chrysanthemums.
Mr. Maser said that laquered work has been an art in Japan and China for 2,000 years. Objects in the display include combs, perfume boxes, and bowls.
Most popular of the oriental ceramics, according to Western taste, was Chinese pottery and porcelain with a blue design on a white background. Shown in the display are vases and bowls, all designed in blue and white.
Ivory carvings show the skill and imagination of Japanese artists, said Mr. Maser. Sculptured ivory figures, one of a Japanese woman holding a basket of fish, are displayed.
Moslems Arrested in Egypt
Cairo—(U.P.)—Egypt's military government dissolved the Moslem brotherhood today and arrested its principal leaders on charges of treason, a high Egyptian official said. He declined use of his name but told newsmen that Brotherhood leader Hassan el Hodebi was "plotting with the British embassy to overthrow the regime" of President Mohammed Naguib. The British embassy said the Egyptian claim is "complete nonsense."

Polio Test Group To Be Selected
New York —(U.P.)— An advisory committee of the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis has received recommendations from state health officers over the nation and soon will select counties to be used in the "validity trial" of the new polio vaccine, a Foundation spokesman said.
He said the names of the counties, expected to total about 200 and to include some from each state in the Union, would be made public "as soon as possible" after their selection.
State health officers also will be responsible for the administration of the "validity trial" in their respective states.
The committee is still studying scientific data to insure that the 500,-000 to 1,000,000 second-graders involved will represent a proper scientific sample for the test.
Five criteria have been set up for selection of the sample. They are: That the county show a high polio incidence rate in the five years 1948-1952; that the county had a high epidemic rate during those years in the June to September period; that it showed a high attack rate in the second grade age group—six to eight; that it have adequate health facilities within the county to handle the inoculations, and that social and economic conditions, population by age, urban or rural economy and geographical location should provide a significant cross-section of the general population.
A foundation spokesman said it was not possible to say exactly how many counties would be selected since the sample sought is figured in numbers of children rather than geographic area. An estimate of 200 was made at the first announcement of the tests.
The size of the sample also will be determined, the foundation said, by the amount of vaccine which can be produced and checked in time for the test.
Library Woodwork Gets Light Varnish
"Use the other Stairs" signs and a sticky circulation desk are indications of the new varnish job now under way at Watson library.
Under the supervision of the Department of Architecture, and with the aid of the buildings and grounds department, the stairway banisters and woodwork along the staircases and in the lobbies are being treated to a new coat of varnish.
A clear, transparent varnish is being used in order to retain the light, natural oak, bearing contrast to the dark-colored varnish that has been with the library for many years.
In addition, a new paint job along the staircases and in the lobbies will follow soon after the varnishing is completed.
