Ultra-Violet Light, X-Rays Detect Fakes In Museum

Every painting in the Museum of Art is checked for its authenticity by being viewed under an ultra-violet light.
Old pigments are distinguished from present day paints by the fluorescent glow given off.
"It is easy this way to detect fakes," said Dr. John Maxon, director of the museum.
Occasionally X-rays of the pictures are taken to check the density of the white lead, the characteristic brush stroke, or the artist's way of building up the paint, Dr. Maxon said.
Many "originals" show_up as fakes
Conducts Clinic On Cerebral Palsy
In the evening she spoke before members of the association on "The Role of Occupational Therapy in Treatment of Cerebral Palsy."
Miss Patricia Laurencelle, instructor of occupational therapy, has returned from Bartlesville, Okla, where she conducted a one-day clinic for the Washington County Cerebral Palsy association.
Miss Laurenceille was assisted by Aud Soil, a Fulbright scholar from Norway, who is studying occupational therapy at the University.
The Washington County clinic is directed by Miss Betty Brewer, a 1950 KU graduate in occupational therapy.
During the afternoon Miss Lauren- celle worked with children undergoing treatment in the Washington County clinic.

The Prowler Identified Wife Of Disk Jockey Tells Strange Story
Still wild-eyed with hysteria, lovely Susan Gilvray poured out a strange story of treachery and murder today. The District Attorney stated, however, that he wasn't satisfied with her story and that he suspected she was holding something back.
This item might appear in your newspaper tomorrow, to give you the first clue of the suspenseful story of The Prowler, starring Van Heflin in his greatest role. It is adult entertainment, excitingly and intelligently portrayed.
when the brush strokes of the artist are seen, he explained. Another way to tell an artist's work is by checking the paint build-up of the picture in question against that of a known authentic painting.
Dr. Maxon has discovered boxes offered to the museum when the paintings were placed under ultraviolet light.
Many paintings, after cleaning, are retouched.
"It is very easy to see how much retouching has been done on old paintings by checking the fluorescent glow." Dr. Maxon said.
Although occasion has never arisen for museum officials to X-ray statues, a hoax can be detected if the interior of the statue shows modern filler post-dating the exterior appearance, Dr. Maxon said.
Almost 6,000 children in 84 Kansas communities received awards during the past year through the children's reading program sponsored by the University.
The 5,873 certificates earned and the number of communities were new highs in the five-year-old program, according to Mrs. Virginia S. Maddox, director of the University Extension library.
6,000 Receive Reading Awards
More significant is that 33 children received awards for the fifth consecutive year, 277 continued through the fourth year, and 777 participated for a third year, she said. Thus far 23,786 blue and gold seal certificates, signed by the chancellor have been given.
The program, designed to encourage reading among children up to the ninth grade, is conducted at local levels by schools, libraries and civic clubs.
Saturday's game at Norman will mark the forty-ninth between Kansas and Oklahoma. The Sooners have won 24 against 19 for the Jayhawkers. Five games have been ties.
