The mural depicting war as an evil force that was painted for the Frank Wiggins Trade School by Leo Katz has been removed by Gertrude Rounsavelle, president of the board, and Margaret Clark, member, who were offended by the mural. Katz said, "It's an affront to the American public that works of art should be subjected to the haphazard censorship of persons who accidentally happen to be in office."
Story related to photograph appears with the article, "Mooted Mural Removed From School Lobby Wall," Los Angeles Times, 04 Sep 1935: A1.
James Sheridan and Leo Katz look at each other, holding a piece of paper between them.
