FRESCO OFFENDS
AN IMAGE OF LENIN NEW YORK, May 9 Senor Diego Rivera, a leading Mexican painter of murals, lias executed a fresco, on the front of the Rockefeller Centre, with Lenin's faco as the central feature. When Mr. Nelson* Rockefeller and the Radio City management realised what was going on they were too late to cancel the work, so it was arranged to obliterate it by covering it with tar paper. The Radio City management accuse Senor Rivera of Communistic leanings, but he claims that he was expelled from the Communist party in Mexico and accuses Mr. Rockefeller of "assassinating" his work. ._ ■ _J. iSrfc
