EXCLUSIVE YOURS Iran's Heir Toasted Here; Spain's New Art Explosive By BETTY BEALE Star Staff Writer Two debuts were celebrated yesterday. Ambassadors, officials and friends called at the Iranian Embassy to toast the brand new heir to the peacock throne and sign the book that will be sent to the proud father. The Shah. And the first major avant garde painting and sculpture survey of Spain presented in this country went on view last night at a Corcoran Art Gallery preview, followed by a big party at the Spanish Embassy. ALTHOUGH ALL ISAN and a few of her allies perhaps, have worried for 20 years over the absence of a male heir to the Pahlevi dynasty, the glorious event of his birth seemed quite natural and even commonplace compared to the art that has exploded out of modern Spain. The 56 works assembled by the Museum of Modern Arts are said Spanish Ambassador Mariano de Yturralde, to use the words of Goya, "works where inventiveness and imagination have no limits." SOME OF THE 16 ART ISTS, he pointed out, have not received great acclaim in Spain. “We Spanish are most demanding critics," he said. Oddly enough, though, modern art had hardly made a debut in Spain five years ago, the works in this show are as advanced as anything this columnist's eyes have ever set upon. There were, of course, some jocular observations made as guests passed before the canvasses. Every painting and every piece of sculpture is abstract, so naturally each represents whatever one chooses to make of it. If you're the kind that likes a face to look like a face, or at least look like something, you won’t take to this show. One can imagine that a vast garden Goya wouldn't even take to it if he could see the imaginary portrait of himself done by Antonio Saura. It looks like a cross between a death’s head and a one-eyed fish. If, on the other hand, you long to break all ties with conventional life in one unhibited surge of self expression, you will revel in the freedom of this exhibit. Even if you don’t comprehend Saura's Three Graces who bear no resemblance to any female or goddess you have bumped into lately, you may be inspired by the artistic infinitude of space in Feito’s canvasses or The endlessly fascinating shadings and simplicity of Cuixart’s Indulgent Fancy, a combination of oil and metallic paint. MOST SURPRISING THINGS to find on the once staid walls of the Corcoran were Manuel Rivera’s four compositions composed of wire and wire mesh (or window screening) on painted wood. If you’ve been collecting old screens, now you know what to do with them if you can do it. Washingtonians who gazed at the exhibit with interest included former Ambassador and Mrs. Stanley Woodward, Mrs. Dean Acheson, the Struve Hensels, the Prentiss Coonleys, Dr. and Mrs. Alan Walker, Dr. and Mrs. Stanley Sarnoff, Mr. and Mrs. Orme Wilson, Ella Burling, the Ted Dominicks, Sheila Schermerhorn, the Magill Jameses, Polly Guggenheim, Jack Logan, Gladys Tartiere, Madeleine and Bruce Sund lun and the Edgar Mowrers. LILIAN MOWRER, by the way, is also celebrating a debut.

W7W \ Franklin Simon published two weeks ago, “The Indomitable John Scott— Citizen of Long Island” has been so well received it is having an effect on American history. The colorful Colonial John Scott, for over 300 years credited with the role of rascality, has, under Liiban’s pen, become a respectable gifted citizen, and American historians who have seen her book, said Mrs. Mowrer, “have accepted my theory." IT WOULD TICKLE THE SHAH. I'm sure, to know that the announcement of his first-born son was received with shared paternal pride by officials in the United States State Department. At Monday morning's high level staff meeting, Assistant Secretary of State for Near Eastern Affairs Lewis Jones smilingly broke the news and immediately in the tradition of new fathers, offered Secretary Herter a cigar. The boys on the Iranian desk also exchanged cigars and puffed as though they had accomplished some great thing. The Embassy opened its doors at 10 yesterday morning and instantly Japanese Ambassador Asakai drove up to make his call. He was greeted by the Charge d'Affaires Mohammad Hassan Puyani, who was acting in the absence of Ambassador Ardshir Zahedi, son-in-law of the Shah. Ambassador Zahedi is expected back next week from Geneva where he rushed 10 days ago when his father had a heart attack. The latter is much improved now, but because of this illness the Ambassador could neither be in Tehran with his wife, Princess Shahnaz, nor in Washington to receive official congratulations. ONE BY ONE from 10 to 12 in the morning and from 3 to 5 in the afternoon the chiefs of missions drove up to the main street. All three stores open late Thursday night! It's a special purchase!

The Ambassadors of Sweden, South Africa, Luxembourg, Ceylon, Burma, Saudi-Arabia, Germany, Czechoslovakia, Poland, Netherlands, Yugoslavia, Nicaragua, Greece and Haiti inscribed their names in the book in the embassy hall. There were others too such as Judge George Washington who was Lend Lease administrator in Iran from 1912-44; Russell Dorr, who was resident representative of the World Bank in Iran two years ago; Mrs. Harold Burton, Mrs. Brigadier Gordon Swyers, director of Women’s Activities for the Salvation Army; Mrs. Stanley Hornbeck and Col. Philip T. Boone, former chief of staff of the USA mission to the Imperial Iranian Garden. One inscription read: “Mrs. Irene Mishtowt, nee Rimsky-Korsakoff, former lady-in-waiting to T. M. the Empress of Russia.” And another read: “To a Great King! Congratulations from the Ross family, former adviser to Radio Iran, Louis Ross, Voice of America.” Photographers stood around to get pictures, commentators armed with tape recorders took sample reactions. The Shah will know that Washington cared—and shared—his joy. THE EVENING STAR WssL'mtee, O. C., Wednesday, November 2, 1910 D. B.
