Sunday, March 4. 1849 It

successor should have been
sworn in the same hour But

refused to injure the Lord's
day with an inaugural
Old Zack scheduled the
proceedings for the follow-
ing afternoon, and if anyone
protested the decision it has
not been prominently re-

capital citizens felt the delay
was appropriate; merchants
were especially pleased, be-
cause their shops could be

TULSA, Okla. (UPI) - The
first American Indian artist to
display her work in the Soviet
Union says she had no trouble
communicating with Soviet
artists because art is a
common medium.
The one-person art show
featuring 33 paintings by
Minisa Crumbo opened Dec. 1
in Moscow. The cultural ex-
change art show will visit
several other Soviet cities
before closing.
The last American artist to
have a show in the Soviet Union
was Jamie Wyeth two years
ago.
Miss Crumbo, 36, daughter of
Oklahoma artist Woody
Crumbo, said the purpose of
her art show and the cultural
exchange program "to keep the
channels of information and
communication open between
the people at the cultural level,
the social level."
She said she had no trouble
from the Soviet government in
her meetings with Soviet
artists.
"For the most part, art is a
free ground," she said. "The
people are open to me as a
person.
‘ Art is a real common
medium for people to communi-
cate through," Miss Crumbo
said. She said Soviet artists are
“like artists everywhere.
“They are dealing with life
and self-expression,” she said.
Miss Crumbo said she also
had no difficulty communicat-
ing with Soviet art lovers.
“They (the Soviets) are very
interested in the culture of the
American Indian," shesaid.
After Moscow, the show visits
Leningrad; Kiev; Tibilisi, Geor-
gia, and Armenia
"It will go on for probably six
months," Miss Crumbo said.
Miss Crumbo, a Creek-
Rttasatomie who maintains
rf^enoes in Tulsa and Taos,
NM, said this year’s trip was
her second visit to Moscow and
gaveiergasHane to visit the
• Pushkin
uem in Moscow.
"I made a presentation of one
at my drawings to the
museum,” she said. The
museum, famed for its collec-
tion of French impressionist
work, now includes a charcoal
and pastel drawing of Solomon
