CAPTIVE NATIONS COMMITTEE Painter Nadia Somko Nadia Somko: Flowers. The Presidential Proclamation regarding Captive Nations made 4 years ago stated th a t “such proclamations should be made each year until such tim e as freedom and independence shall have been achieved for all cap tive nations of the world.” As July 1962 will m ark the 4th year, in the light of current events, sim ilar to the past, its value should have increased. Each action or campaign m ust be modified and strengthened, with the years, to insure its ef fect. The proclamation only is not sufficient. The present fate of the captive nations should be stu died ; and the events of their lives discussed and explained to the free world. The National Captive Nations Committee, headed by Prof. Leo Dobriansky welcomed the Flood Resolution, which calls for the establishm ent of a perm anent committee in the House of Rep resentatives. This would serve as a reservoir of inform ation and data on all captive nations in USSR. As tim e passes, the need for it becomes more urgent. Our duty is to back up this Resolu tion w ith letters to th e Hon. Howard K. Smith, Chairm an of the House Rules Committee, ask ing him for favorable considera tion of H.R. 211 (Flood Resolu tion) . Over 225 million people held captive by the communists (be sides th e 700 million Chinese) represent a potent force which can become the free world’s m ost reliable ally. SISTER M. LAWRENCE, CHAIRMAN Sister M. Lawrence is chair man of the faculty for self-evalu- ation for Manor Junior College in preparation for the Middle A t lantic States accreditation which will take place next year. Applications for students are now being accepted for 1962-63 term for Manor Junior College. A t the recent a rt exhibit of Nadia Somko in New York City, the U krainian community there was held spellbound by the flow ers painted w ith such delicate subtlety, and fishes th a t seemed to swim before their very eyes. Few artists attem pt these p arti cular subjects; and then w ith lit tle success. Nadia Somko was born in Uk raine. Although a graduate in architecture she soon turned to painting, and studied in Kiev, un der Prof. W asyl Krychevsky. While World W ar II interrupted her career in Ukraine, the great m igration th a t it gave rise to, and subsequent re-settlem ent gave her opportunity to visit oth er countries. W ith her husband, Serge Ma karenko, a p o rtrait painter, they went to Italy. Life there, with its profusion of great m aster pieces of a rt enriched her m in d ; and helped her perfect her own skill. But the couple was eager to travel to new countries. In 1948 they left Italy for A r gentine ; and in Buenos Aires again started a new phase of their a rt life. Serge became re nowned as a p o rtrait painter. And Nadia, warmed by the A r gentinians’ delight in color and effect soon exhibited before a highly critical, yet approving press, th a t won her many friends. Their dream to enter the United States came true in 1960, and the longed-for opportunity to exhibit in New York City in 1961 and 1962.
