MAYOR OPPOSES
 MORE BUS LINES
Weld Comes Out Against Grant,
 ing Route to Zaleski

Mayor Weld today took a definite stand against increasing the num- Der Of bus lines operating in this city. declaring against the traffic and economic conditions which, he fears, will result from continually adding 10 the system of bus trans portation.
 Discussing the application of Maryon Ialcski for a permit to run q line from Central park to the northwestern extremity of the city. the mayor declared he does not re- gard it within his province to oppose allowing any man 10 go into busi- ness, but he feels there are consider ations of public welfare concerned The Haleski petition vas scheduled to be heard at 1ho state capitol this afternoon, but the hearing was post poned to December
 Additional lineswill add to conges- ton in tn" center of the city much more so than the addition of an equal number of ordinary pleasure cars, the mayor points out. He al so fears operation by so many diff ierent owners Is not conducive to good service, and that lines operat- ing too close 10 each other are liable To bring competition to such q fine point that scryic" will suffer, and lines may be removed entirely.
 Theodore Wagner, owner of a line which would bc parall2led for some distance hy tho Zalcski buses, called at the office of the mayor today to register protest

 "ALLEZ- OOP"
 (By the Herald Ecviewer)
 On its first stop since closing an engagement of several months in New York, "Allez- Oop," featuring Cecil Lean and Cleo Mayfield was accorded quiet reception at Par sons theater. Hartford, last night. In fact the silence during the first act was so profound that one might think one had gone stone deaf or that tho audience was wearing those shiny slave bracelets which danglc from the hip pocket of every well equipped policeman.
 "Allez-O Is typical revue. It Is a stereotype of a dozen other revucs that have been produced dur ing the fast few years. It lays its chief claim 10 recognition on its dancing. The singing is nothing to become excited over and the comedy is spotty. Its chief weakness is that it lacks novelty. being a duplicate Of so many other entertainments of its kind.
 In spite of the foregoing depr"ca- tory observations "Allez-Oop' has it's good points. Evelyn Bennett is a lively young woman with an en- gangng personality who seems 10 have watch springs on her heels. ;, ol, Shr bill. Rita Howard and Helen Fables are also splendid dancers. ThcT sister" turns arc we'll worth seeing Layman and King qualify for spe- cial notice for their dancing num- bers and Valodia Nestoff. of course. is not to be overlooked. Mir Nestoh goes himself one better than his name would imply appearing in one scene with his coat and other things off and being garbed in a silk topper . collar and tie a thingamajig around his waist and shoes and spats. Catherine Crandall likewise makes pleasing impression as q dancer. Cliff O'Rourkc is called upon frequently to sing and he does it we'll, even if he is bothered with an attack of laryngitis. Charles Butter worth seems to be the head come dian.
 Mir Lean and Miss Mayfiold were liked by the audience for their rapid fire dancing. especially in their Swiss makeup. Star of Stars,' at the opening of the second act was an attractive scene well handled. Two comedians billed as Cuby and Smith were given the largest meas ure of laughter for their burlesque acrobatic stunts.
 The sketches failed to go across very strongly. At least two of them seemed familiar left-overs from other revues which have come this way.
 "Allez-Oop" will remain at Par sons for the first half of the week with . matinee tomorrow.

The President expressed himself as

being. contemplated in this program
for aircraft. He admitted that the
estimates for appropriate ations for the
air program included in the budget
for next year call for sum larger
than last year. He explained this as
being necessary because of delays in
getting the program started and the
need for larger appropriations now
that the program has been more fully
developed.
The intimation by Gen. Lord last
Saturday. when he was discussing the
budget, that the estimate for the Navy

was the largest of any individual de-
partment, was explained by the Presi
dent as being only matter of carry
ing out the building Of the cruisers
already authorized by Congress. He
said work had been started on the
cruisers and that it was simply a ques-
ton Of routine to make provision for
carrying on the work Of building them,
in the budget for next year. He said
that no new cruisers have been author
ized and that appropriations to be
asked for are only for craft upon
which work has been started.
President Coolidge today denied re-
ports that he is to succeed the late
Judge Gary as head of the United
States Steel Corporation. He was
represented as feeling that If that cor
poration was anxious for an executive
head it would not care to wait until
he retires as President. even though
the corporation might think his serv.
ices desirable.
The President also let it be known
that he las not the slightest idea of
becoming head of Amherst College, as
has been rumored. He said that Am

dent.

this definite today, the President in
dicated that he prefers to wait until
he returns to Washington, when he
will have opportunity to confer with
War Department officials and insular
officers. Moreover, the President is
of the opinion that the matter of max
ing this appointment requires careful
study and that the situation should
be carefully canvassed before he ar
rives at any conclusion.
The President said that the affairs of
the Philippines are being satisfactorily
