a strong strain of colorful melody.

bestowed upon a lyrical Romance"
written by Francisco Vallejo of San
Francisco. Calf for violin. Henri
Sokolov, leading Washington violiniSt,

melodiouS material.
Mary Howe's Composition Heard.

tet and Piano." also first heard on the
same occasion that marked Miss Heirs
works debut here, likewise showed a
degree of musical content that became

.PPROVAL
At COMING
SESSION
URGED.

An appeal to President
Hoover to include the Dale
Lehlbach liberalized civil
service retirement measure in
his legislative program for the
coming special session of Con-
gress is to be made by vari-
Gus groups sponsoring the
bill.
a statement issued on behalf Of
the legislation today, says:
No Opposition
''It would require but little time
to pass the bill, which received a
unanimous vote in both houses Of
Congress last month. 1t would re-
lIeve many retired employees from
dire straits, unsanitary and other
improper conditions OF living.
ITO make these helpless retired
employees endure for another year
such conditions of life, is inhunan
and unjust, and Injuries the whole
Government service in the eyes Of
the people"
Hope For Hoover Aid
The appeal is made because Of
reports that the special session of
Congress will be rigidly limited to
farm relief and tariff legislation,
and that not even the consideration
Of non-controversial bills will be
permitted by the leaders.
The issue probably will not be
decided until the special session is
convened, although President Hoover
may express his views with refer
ence to the u session before that
time, ss1 ~
