Wrote the President stating that after their meeting of last spring
and desiring to present the President with a souvenir of their meeting again after more
than a quarter of a century, he sent for a few pictures of contemporary Chinese painting
from China, and they have now arrived. Further states that they are the work of Prof-
essor Pang Hsun-chin who formerly taught in the Peiping Art Academy. The subject is
drawn from the life and austoms of the "Miao" people, one of the aboriginal races in
southwest China. The four pictures give an idea of present-day painting in China which,
while retaining the fundamentals of the classical style, seeks to improve it by intro-
ducing the technique of the Occidential School. - -The President replied April 8, 1944,
saying that he is grateful for the four pictures of contemporary Chinese painting, which
interpret the life and customs of the "Miso" people. Further states that it seems to
the President that Professor Pang Haun-chin has succeeded admirable in retaining the
fundamentals of the Chinese classical style while introducing the technique of the Occi-
dental School. In closing the President states that the pictures will find an honored
place among his personal treasures. - Typed notation - Signed original of this letter

Thank you for your letters of May

the design which you forwarded subsequent to
the letter from Mr. Andrews. The friendly
and gracious thought evidenced by the plan
which you relate is heartily appreciated and
it is, therefore, my sincere hope that this
reply will not prove too disappointing to you.
The simple truth is that suggestions
of a similar nature come to the President from
time to time and, however much he appreciates
the spirit which prompted them, it is felt
that he cannot acquiesce in all of the many
proposals of this nature, and he must, there-
fore, reluctantly decline all of them. I know
that you will understand and will accept my
assurance that the President is deeply grate-
ful for your friendly sentiments.

Dear Grace:
Presuming upon our old friendship back in
the days of Monsignor Waring, I am writing to enlist
your aid for a friend of mine, Mr. Anthony Petraglia.
Mr. Petraglia will send you a package within a few
days containing a design for an automobile which has
been called by The New York Times "The Victory Parade
Car". A group of influential men cooperating with Mr.
Petraglia wish the President of the United States to
accept this car as a gift from the people of the City

own letter with the design, exp laining the matter in

will find the time to assist an old friend.
Hoping that you are in the best of health,

Dear Miss Tully:
Several days ago, my friend Joseph E. Andrews
wrote you a letter about me and a plan that I had in mind and
shortly thereafter, I mailed to you a design for an automobile.
I should like to explain to you the object of
my plan:
During the latter part of the first term of the
President, I conceived the idea of designing a parade car for
State functions which was inspired by my admiration for the
President. I have since completed the design and have submitted
same to various artists in New York City and I am pleased that
they have commented thereon, favorably, as you will find from
the photostats of the enclosures.
I have contacted various persons with a view
of constructing an automobile in accordance with my design and
have been assured of success if the President would kindly accept
same as a gift. Personally, I do not seek any material or other
benefits therefrom and do not intend to derive any gain whatsoever.
I am not connected with any automobile concern nor do I pursue
any vocation or profession where designing plays a part. I am
interested solely in expressing my sentiments towards the President
in offering my design and my services.
I would greatly appreciate it if you will consider
my suggestion and advise me of your reaction thereto.
Very truly yours,

PARADE CAR FOR PRESIDENT
Suggested for President Roosevelt to ride in when the war is won is
this "Victory Parade" car. Antonio Petraglia of 847 Second Avenue,
automobile designer by hobby and pharmacist by profession, planned
the vehicle for State occasions, the first of which would be the celebra-
tion of democracy's victory in World War II. Not yet built, the design
carries American symbolism. Against the body's dark purple, fenders
in a rich copper color are serrated to represent wing tips of the Ameri-
can eagle. Carets in a linked chain would display names of the thirteen
original States just above the running board.
REPRINT FROM THE N.Y. TIMES OF JUNE 21ST 1942
JUST AROUND THE corner
from the Daily Mirror building
in East 45th St., New York City,
a stone's throw from the East
River, there is a drugstore where
one can get a sandwich, an elec-
tric light bulb and even a pre-
scription.
It is run by two partners. This
story concerns one of them, who
is as adept at boiling a three
minute egg as he is at mixing
the minute particles of herbs and
compounds that go into a pre-
scription.
Yesterday I saw him poring
over the scale model of a motor
car of the future. It was a mas-
terpiece that could only have
been turned out by a skilled
draftsman, and one with the
patience of Job. The druggist
confided that he makes these
fascinating models in his spare
time. One big auto concern has
seen his work and has tried in
vain to lure him away from his
drug corner.
He refuses because he fears
his creative urge would be
smothered or pigeon-holed. His
19 est car design is a draftsman's
dream. He calls it a "Victory
Car."
"For Roosevelt and Churchill
to ride in after we win," he said
with a smile.

of the President which he took out of his scrap-book and had copied and enlarged.
He took this picture in 1920 in Henderson, Kentucky, during ltr. Roosevelt's

who won the $25,000 first prize is a former Chicago pro-
fessor now working as an economic analyst for the WPB.
The second prize-winner, who received $10,000, is gen-
eral counsel of the NHA (National Housing Administra-

the winners of $1,000 prizes were a fiscal analyst for the
department of state, an economist for the department
of agriculture (who, by the way, was no one else than
that old bugaboo of the rugged individualists, Mordecai
Ezekiel), an assistant chief of the munitions branch of
the WPB, a director of the division of operating statistics
of the FHLBA, an economist of the FRS, an expert in
the division of tax research of the treasury department, an
expert from the Russell Sage Foundation now in Eng-
land on a government assignment, and a chief of division
of the BLS. At one time or another practically all these
men had been college professors. Well, one prize contest
may not prove much. But it at least suggests that not all
those fellows down there at Washington are lunkheads.
