Postpone Big Picture Mural at Oklahoma University Museum
A colossal mural begun over a year ago by Prof. WLM Hekking of the School of Fine Arts at the Bk. Us Museum has been abandoned until after the war. Planned to run 12 550 feet long and up to 15 500 feet high, it would have formed the background of the natural history panorama on the museum floor.
