DANCE RECITAL

Pupils of Paul Tcherhikoff and

Program

The annual recital of the dance
pupils of Paul Tchernikoff AMI Eliza
beth Gardiner, which was held at
the President last night, gave every
member of the large class ample op.
portunities for the display of his or
her individual talents.
Opening with a "Chopiniana
Group" with the entire ballet parti-
cipating, there followed series of
advertisements by pupils ranging in
ages from tots to teens and il ap.
plause may be taken as a criterion,
individual honors were won by tiny
little Mary Virginia Trammel in

The performance closed with an
other series Of advertisements which
were in many respects the best of
the evening. Gloria Redmon and
Mary Hoover displayed exceptional
skill and presence in "Danse Mod.

probation of "Anitra's Dance" from
the Peer Gynt suite, proved VERT
able triumph of fiery animation.
The concluding number, a bac-
chanal, participated in by the entire
corps de ballet, with Miss Gardiner
and Mr.. Tchernikoff at its head,
reflected great credit on the school.

House is to adjourn early next
month.
The House District Committee has
agreed upon a program Of District
legislation to be brought up Mon.
day. This includes all park legis-
latjon on the calendar, including
the bill to establish a National Cap
itaI park commission and to provide
an annual appropriation of approx.
mately 1000, 900 for park extension
and improvement in and adjacent to
the District.
The Gilbert bill to control social
diseases in the District is also on
this calendar. This measure has
already been partially completed on
the floor and should not take a
great deal of time. The third item
of legislation is the Fitzgerald
workmen's compensation bill. If
this measure is brought up a dead.
lock is almost certain to result.
During the last session Of Congress
the House deadlocked on a similar
bill and all District legislation was
shut off during the closing days
of the session.

BILL LEGAL|zES
APP0|NT NENT
OF KIRBY
Authority Given for Naming
Major Engraving Director
After Bitter Debate

Assignment Of Major Wallace w.
Kirby, army engineer corps, as uem-
porary director of the Bureau of
Engraving and Printing will he
made by President Coolidge within
the next few days as result of
authority granted in a bill passed
by the House late yesterday. The
measure has been passed by the
Senate.
The House enacted the bill after
a heated debate lasting more than
two hours, during which two roll
calls were made. The bill was
adopted despite the warnings Of
members of the special committee
appointed by the House to inveSti,
gate charges of duplication of bonds
at the Bureau.
Intimidation Feared.
1t was charged that appointment
of Major Kirby is sought by Treas
ury officials as a means Of blocking
Congressional investigation of the
bond scandal. Congressman Edward
j. King, Of Illinois, a member Of the
investigating Committee warned the
House that Kirby would establish
a military dictatorship" for the
purpose of intimidating witnesses.
Congressman King charged that
on the first day Major Kirby took
his post as temporary head of the
Bureau recently, he called before
him all employees who had been in
terviewed by Charles B. Brewer,
special Department of Justice agent
appointed to investigate the bond
charges and had demanded Of them
all information they had given
Brewer. The Congressman said that
since that time employees had been
afraid to speak a word regarding
the bond duplication.
A number of Congressman. op.
posed the measure on the ground
that it would establish dangerous
precedent and that it would break
the law enacted fifty years aso to
prevent "Prussinianizing" of the
Government service by permitting
army officers to serve in civilian
posts and so inject militarism into
the civil government.
An amendment offered by Con-
gresham Jeff Busby Of Alabama,
would have forced Major Kirby to
resign his army commission. It was
knocked out on point of order,
The bill was made necessary by
q ruling of the Comptroller General
that Major Kirby could not held
the post, in the absence of legal au-
thority. Major Kirby was appointed
to succeed Louis A. Hill, whose
resignation was forced by Secretary
OF the Treasury Mellon to permit
the reinstatement of employees dis.
charged without warning by Presi-
dent Harding more than two years
ago.

house building programs are being
held up through lack of skilled
labor.
