mi Li J- JW1'1 i serambled-egg school of art. The whole shebang, including the celebrated picture of the circus fat lady, goes on sale next week in New York at the Whitney Museum of American Art. The experts figure that those who disagree with Mr. Truman about scrambled eggs will pay enough to return the government a handsome profit. The 79 oil paintings and the 38 water colors, for which the diplomats paid $56,000 and untold I blushes, go on public exhibition May 21.

That reluctant art dealer, the War Assets Administration, will accept sealed bids until June 18. Remember? So much for the vital statistics. Now for the horrendous details I of the government's greatest artis- tic emproglio: You remember when the ntate department bought the pictures for a permanent traveling collection to show the rest of the world what fine artists we had. The painters such as Yashuo Kuniyoshi, who did the fat lady, Charles Sheeler, who painted someting called "Boneyard," and Walt Kuhn, who contributed "Still Life With Bananas" were flattered. They all gave their Uncle Sam a special price.

Then those distinguished art critics, the members of congress, heard about the government's flyer in modern art. They waved in the air reproductions of such paintings as Gregorio Prestopino's "Trolley Car," Philip Evergood's "Girl with Cock," Loren Maclver's "Blue Landscape" and Abraham Rat-tner's "Yellow Table." They said that if these squiggles were art, then they (the congressmen) were near-sighted crawfish. Everybody Into Act And everybody seemed to get into the act. Mr. Truman announced that the state departments pictures looked like scrambled eggs to him and he didn't like 'em.

Secretary of State George Marshall was forced to admit the whole idea was a mistake. i The state department slapped those pictures into a warehouse in New York as being too hot to handle. Quietly it tried to declare 'em as surplus to the War Assets administration. Administrator Jess Larson and Co. were having no part of art; they were having troubles enough with surplus false teeth, pigeons, airports, human skeltons and flying machines.

First hint of the art negotiations came out in testimony before the House Appropriations Commit, The state department, later won the argument. It proved by statute that the War Assets Administration, under the law, was forced to sell anything ny government department called surplus including pictures called "Bird Bath," "The Cow," "Columbus Avenue," "Donkey Engine" and "Bowery Follies." Reluctantly Larson took over the sales job. As consultants he retained curator Herman Moore of the Whitney museum and assistant curator Dorothy Miller of the Museum of Modern Art. But Not Art They agreed (and understand I'm not quoting 'em) that Mr. Truman knew more about horseshoes than about art.

Some of the pictures, including those by Kuniyoshi and Sheeler, they valued at 'better than $2,000 each. So a War Assets attorney, whose principal experience has been in the electrical business, got up the catalogue and a fine flowery job he did of it, too. Only trouble is the artists. They're all sore at the government. Claim they wouldn't have shaved their prices if they'd known the state department was going to peddle their brain children to the highest bidders.

The War Assets Administration has hgard rumors about injunction suits, but none has been filed yet and I guess I'll go out for a dish of scrambled eggs.
