Burke Asserts
Following Taft
Is Tough Job
CLEVELAND (UP)—May
or Thomas A. Burke said to
day he feels that taking
over the job of the late Rob
ert A. Taft in the U. S. Sen
ate is like “following Babe
Ruth to bat.”
Burke, a Democrat, '.vas appoint
ed Monday night by Gov. Frank J.
Lausche to fill the unexpired term
of "Mr. Republican," who died in
New York July 31 of cancer.
The soft-s:.oken mayor, who re
tires from nis city post Nov. 3,
said the appointment came as a
“great surprise.” He said he knew
he was lender consideration but
“never in my fondest dreams” did
he think he would be appointed.
Burke issued a brief statement
saying he would not attempt to
force a reorganization of the Sen
ate when he takes the Taft seat.
The new Senate will include 48
Democrats, 47 Republicans and in-'
dependent Sen. Wayne Morse of
Oregon.
Lausche took note of the new
party line-up in his announcement
of the appointment issued at Col
umbus. He said:
“I anticipate that he (Burke) will
take no action affecting the pres
ent organization of the Senate and
that he will constantly have in mind
the interest and the welfare of fell
the people.”
FRIEND OF GOVERNOR j
(The appointment of the 56-year
pW Rurke, an old political friepd
dT the governor, was( met with
immediate criticism by gome Ohio
Republicans. Rep. George H. Ben
der, a long-time Taft man, called
the appointment “absurd.”
“To replace the leading Repub
lican in the United States Senate.
Ohio will have another New Deal
Democrat,” Bender said. “The vot
ers of Ohio elected Robert A. Taft.
Now. because of his untimely death
and thanks to the governor, we
have a man of complete opposite
viewpoint. He . will not represent
the majority of Ohio, he will sub
stantially misrepresent us.” <
Ohio Democratic Chairman Eu
gene Hanhart applauded the selec
tion of Burke. "I think that Tom
Will make a very fine senator. I
think his background thoroughly
qualifies him.”
Burke leaves the Cleveland City
Hail after serving nine years as
mayor. He succeeded Lausche in
the job when Lausche won the gov
ernorship in 1944.

Famous Portrait Artist Now
Visiting On Erwin, Rt. 1
By CARL CONNER
Record Staff Writer
v
A towering, thin young man who
swapped science for art at the
Universit; of North Carolina in the
mid 30’t is one of the nation’s
foremost portrait painters today.
William C. Fields, 111, enrolled
at UNC with a career in chemistry
and botany as his goal, but when
the first major was offered in art,
he swapped majors.
Fields Is visiting Mr. and Mrs.
Harvey Ferris at their home, “Ark
leton" on Erwin, Route 1 and cit
izens of this section had' an op
portunity to meet him Sunday af
ternoon when the Ferrises enter
tained at a tea in his honor. Fields
and Mrs. Ferris are cousins.
The swap was not a growing fad
or a chance of fancy, for young
Fields had been interested in
painting since grammar grade days.
In 1938 he completed his work in
art at the University, and received
the first degree granted there in
Fine Arts.
After graduation, Fields was such
a promising artist that he became
director of the State Art Gallery
and was also secretary of the North
Carolina State Art Society. He held
this position with the art gallery
until 1942 when he went to the
School of Boston Museum of Fine
Arts where he studied for two
years.
Following his study in Boston,
Fields set up a studio there and
began painting. But two years la
ter he joined the trail of many
young artists before him, and went
to New York where be began paint
ing portraits of society leaders.
POPULARITY GROWS
As business became heavier,
Fields’ popularity grew and he be
came better An own in bis home see-
Uans of North Carolina. The young
painter w*» bom in Fayetteville
where he grew up anil attended
DubUc schools.
Fields is ( feet 3'4 inches tall,
haa a rosy complexion, and a light
penonalftft The still very light
lines about the comers of his mouth
twinkle with delight when he talks.
He is something of a humorist and
is usually gay and light in con
versation. However, he takes on
an air of knowing, and a serious
tone of experience when he dis
cusses his art. No particular art
ist has influenced his work, he
says, but be. does admire a number.
Taking a stab at two prominent
amateurs, he was asked his opinion
of the work of Eisenhower and
Churchill. He took on 6 serious air
and contemplated the questions.
But,he refused to voice a definite
opinion. He added, however, that
there is quite a difference in the
intent and result of a person who
paints for a hobby and one who
works for the result of the pro
fession. Even the professional has
to be careful that he doesn't mix
his love for money and his ideals
for better and better painting, the
young artist noted.

Dulles, Aides
Will Leave By
Plane On Wed.
WASHINGTON (UP)
The foreign ministers of the
United States, Britain, and
France, will meet in London
Friday to discuss the Tri
este situation, possible Big
Four talks with Russia, and
other world problems, the
State Department announc
ed today.
Secretary of State John Foster
Dulles and two top diplomatic aides
will leave Washington tomorrow
night by plane for the Big Three
talks expected to last about two
days. Dulles will return to Wash
ington Monday.
State Department officials said
no agenda had been set for the
hastily-called conference. But in
formants said proposed Big Four
talks with Russia on Germany and
Austria, the explosive Trieste situ
ation, possible non-aggression
guarantees to Russia, Korea. In
dochina and othr key world Issues
would be discussed.
DENY EMERGENCY
Although the meeting was ar
ranged only a few days ago to be
held this Friday, officials denied
that there was any “emergency”
need for the Big Three meeting.
Nevertheless, Yuoslavia’s violent re
action to American-British propo
sals to turn Zone A of Trieste over
to Italy was believed to have play
ed a key role in holding the meeting
at this time.
Dulles will meet with British
Foreign Secretary Anthony Eden
and French Foreign Minister Geor
ges Bidault.
"SrsfarartsTss
the American and French diplo
mats to meet with him in London
about .Oct. 15 “to discuss problems
of common interest.”
“This Invitation has been accept
ed and it has now been, agreed
among the three ministers that the
talks will commence on Oct. 16 and
last about two days ” the State De
partment said.
NOT CONNECTED
American officials were quick to
emphasize that the sudden calling
of the meeting was not connected
with London reports last week to
the effect that British Prime Min
ister Winston Chunchtll might go
to Moscow alone for cold war
peace talks with Soviet Premier
Georgi M. Malenkov.
Officials here said they had re
ceived no such indication from
Churchill, pointing out they had
only heard about it through the
newspaper.
But officials did not rule out a
discussion of the Big Three foreign
ministers of Churchill’s proposal,
made last weekend for “friendly,
informal, personal talks” between
! high level East-West leaders.
