A committee meeting in Canberra has urged immediate establishment of a National Gallery of Australian Art to house portraits and works. It recommended purchasing paintings by Robert Johnston and assigning portraits by Wheeler, Leist, and others, with commissions for official portraits of Governor General Gowrie and ex-presidents. The Prime Minister announced acceptance of portraits by Sir Isaac Thes and W B McInnes, pending advisory board approval.
