N YEAI friday THOMAS ". MdSdIyAi
N President Of the Czechoslova K
Republic, celebrates his eightieth

which owes It's very being to
Masaryk will ask the world to join in
praise and congratulation for one of
the most significant personalities In
Europe.
In Czechoslovakia every village will
have its celebration, but the main OBJ
servance, of course, will be held in
Prague, where hundreds of thousands
of citizens, gathered from every part
of the republic, will join in a gigantic
tribute. There will be professions; gifts
In embarrassing profusion from peasants
and professors, from great corporations
and village schools. There will be tele-
grams and letters, assemblies and
dinners.
Perhaps the President will give an
other special reception to the youth of
the nation, as he did on the tenth
anniversary of the republic, in 1928. In
that case $4,000 youths, gay with the
colorful costumes of hundred villages,
will march up to fill every corner of the
grand old castle courtyard, get a
glimpse of the father Of their country
and hear message especially prepared
for them. It will be one Of the greatest
! CzechoSlovak Republic.
In New York and other parts of the
! world there will be other celebrations
in tribute to the grand old man OF
CZechoslovakia.
Most Americans have a vague memory
of Masaryk as the elderly Czech pro-
fessor who visited the United States
during the war, made speech or two
about the rights of minority peoples and
| was reported as having interviewed
Woodrow Wilson. They may even re-
member the news Of bloodless revolu-
| ton in Bohemia, an election and the
sudden metamorphosis of the visiting
professor into the head of new and
sovereign European state.
Stranger Than Romance.
Most Americans, however, have never
heard the story, stranger than any
romance, of the clever planning, the
| stubborn battles and the lifelong effort
which lay behind what seemed such
sudden achievement. It is worth the
reading and therefore worth the telling
here.
We must glance into history to realize
| the changes this one mans lifetime has
witnessed. Serfdom had not quite dis

of disconnected minority peoples

tians-struggling hopelessly against
complete submergence in the prevailing
| German culture.
A glance at the map of Europe as IL

protection" alleged to have been paid,
they differed on dates and numerous
details.
Miss Campbell declared she had paid
Gravely approximately $500 TO avoid
raiding her apartment from August /,
1929. until February %, 1880. She said
the money was given to Gravely in
irregular payments, ranging from $25
to $50.
She contended Gravely followed her
to an apartment at 1418 w street July
81 and arrested her without provocation
on several charges. She added he struck
her several times in the process. The
witness admitted she had been con-
victed a few days later in Police Court.
John r. Fitzpatrick, an assistant Dis
trict attorney testified Miss Campbell
had sworn in her Police Court trial that
she never had seen Gravely prior to the
incident of July 81. Mr.. Fitzpatrick's
testimony was in direct conflict with
Miss Campbell'S account of what she
had said in Police Court.
A recess was taken at one point to
permit Miss Campbell to regain her
composure after she became historical
under cross-eXamination.
The hearing was marked by several
verbal clashes between Mr.. O'Shea and

faced with grave difficulties originating
out of the alleged corruption of its pre-
decessors. For example, reports were
heard yesterday that the National Bank
permitted the Irigoyen regime to make
overdrafts to the extent of 100000 900
beyond the amount legally authorized,
Consequently the Uriburu government
comes in without having funds essential
for its operations. and since the trade
depression has reduced revenues it is
apparent that financial assistance is
essential, whether it comes in the form
of an internal or external loan. For
tunately the new minister of finance,
Enrique Perez, is not inexperienced and
not unaware of the problems facing
him.
Sanchez Sorondo, minister of the
interior. in a speech Monday after
noon declared that Hipolito Irigoyen's
fall was a direct result of administra-
tive inertia, corruption and anarchy
which had brought the nation to the
brink of chaos.
I'VE now assume the responsibility
of averting the nations downfall"
Sorondo declared.
Honest Government Promised.
Gen. Uriburu's immediate policy was
expounded in a like vein. The pro-
visional president said las we are

Whale determination.

Through the operations of the great
floating whale reduction ships the catch
last year was estimated at $1,000, and
at this rate they will soon be wiped
out. The big whaling vessels now oper-
ating can handle about Is blue whales
a day. That means approximately $500
tons of meat and 1900 barrels of oil.
In 1925 Sir James Clark Ross reported
catching blue whales measuring 80 feet
to 80 feet long. The record for the larg-
est whale ever taken is lot feet, cap
tured off South Georgia, in the Pacific.
Such whales are estimated to weigh
about one ton to the foot. In the old
days cutting up whale took several
days, but today a 75-foot whale will
disappear in a floating factory in three
hours. Thirty-two animals have been
anchored about floating factory wait

not animated by any political interest,
we have made no promises to any
clique. We intend to give the country
honesty in government, which has been
unknown since the Irigoyenist influence
first became nation wide"
While the cenSurable secrecy of the
ousted government probably was a
source of its strength in facilitating
graft, nevertheless that same policy
accentuated the magnitude of the crash
when it did come. The extent of
Irigoyen'S personal responsibility is de-
batable The octogenarian was amaZ-
ingly obstinate, possibly as a conse-
quence of his falling faculties, and he
was influenced by the politicians
around him. His personal egotism is
undeniable, as evinced in his attitude
of antagonism towards the United
States without other grounds except
resentment against the dominating
Importance of the United States in the
Western hemisphere.
The brewing storm in Argentina was
discernible some time ago, but it is not
unfair to suggest that the climax was
in part due to the visible success of
revolutionary efforts in other South
American republics similarly afflicted

and of President Leguia in Peru gave
evidence that dictators longer in

In that respect the uprising differs from
others elsewhere in South America, for
the military juntaists here only con-
sented to intervene following strong ap-
peals from political leaders, university
heads and journalists. who condemned
the Irigoyen policy of repression.
The first impressions of the new Uri-
buru ministry, which was installed in
Office Monday afternoon, are that 1t is
sound and statesmanlike and gives
promise of service in education and
finance that will raise the prestige of
the state. Gen. Uriburu has pledged
the honor of himself and his colleagues
not to accept nomination for the presi-
dency, but to hasten the return to nor
malcy and facilitate new elections to
Congress.
Counter Revolt Secuted.
I'VE have again sheathed our swords;
let the electorate now do their will, "
were the words of Gen Uriburu.
The fact that the revolution has been
successful everywhere in the republic
has removed the danger of counter
efforts. A surprising feature of the
coup d'etat was the dissipation of the
Irigoyenists. who made little or no
show of resistance.

The Washington College of Music last
evening presented the first of its COM
mencement events in the college recital
rooms when four of the graduate and
one of the teachers diploma students
OF the class of 1880 were heard in an
interesting program of piano music.
The classics were suitably predomi-
nant on a program of this type, Mozart's
"Fantasie in c Minor" serving as an
opening number, played by Nettie
Sadie, who also appeared later in the
Scarlatti "Siciliano" and q Chopin
waltz.
Margaret Ovenburg played the first
movement of the Beethoven Sonata
Opus co." followed by Helen Rohrer,
who interpreted with taste and fidelity
the Brahms Rhapsody Op. 70, No.
|" and the Chopin "Nocturne Op. 48,
No. o.
Dorothy Leighty was heard to ad-
vantage in Chopin nocturne and in
the only comparatively modern work
programmed, the ''Moto Perpetuo," by
MacDowell.
Max Short, with the assistance of
Nine. Tamara Dmitrieff at the second
piano. closed the program with a meri-
torious performance of the first move
ment Of the Beethoven &C Major Con-
certo"
A second program is scheduled for
this evening at $50 o'clock. Thursday
evening at the same hour the twenty
fourth annual commencement exercises
will be held.
