THE fifth and last concert of the

forte recitals was given by the Wash

ming at the Columbia Heights
Christian Church, and it brought to
a conclusion a festival OF highly
artistic piano playing. The two
soloists Of the evening were Dorothy
Hobley, presented by Amelia Meme

gor Michaelson who substituted for
an active member.
Miss Hobley opened her recital
with Bsch's italian Concerto"

Mozart's Sonata in B Flat Major"
Beth numbers were played with a
crisp, incisive touch, delicacy in
shading and neat. tidy phrasing.
Her second group included Moe

Bartkiewicz's "Etude," prelude, C
Sharp Minor" by Hutchinson, and
"Valse.' from Malta" by Delibes-

the latter, Miss Michaelson was
splendidly supported by her former
teacher, Miss Pearl Waugh, on the
second piano.
This varied group was interpreted
by Miss Michaelson with the variety
of style demanded by the music. In
the delicate melodic sections of the
above-mentioned compositions

REP. PAUL J. KVALE
for organization purposes with
that party which promised most
in the way of progressive prin-
ciples.
The present lineup of the
House is PA Republicans, 214
Democrats, with six cacancies.
If the Republicans fill three
of these vacancies and the Demo
Gratis three, as expected, the
party lineup will remain tied at
217 each, with Kvale constituting
the theoretical balance of power.
Already they are calling tine
young. good-looklng Minnesotan
"the balance OF power" and they
are courting him assiduouSly.
Politically Shrewd
Shrewd, intelligent and expe-
rienced in politics despite his
youth. Kvale realizes the peculiar
position in which fate has
placed him and naturally he IS
going to realize on it, He said
today:
Frankly, cannot say at
this time with which party 1
will vote for organization pur-
poses.
II want to see some definite
pledges In advance concerning
revision of the rules and other
items Of legislative procedure.
Il can say definitely, how.
ever, that 1 do not plan to at
tend the caucus Of either
party"
Concerning prohibition Kvale
Is rather open minded. He said:
II have never opposed and
never shall oppose referendum
on prohibition for which there
Is clear popular demand.
"But / am not in favor of
legaliEing beer on the basis of
preset proposals. I have not
yet been convinced by any
argument or statistics that the
return Of beer would have any
vital significance from an
economic standnOjnt."
From the standpoint of gen.
eral legislation. Young Kvale is
inclined to go along with the
progressive insurgents of the
Northwest.
This insurgent group, long ig-
nored by the hard-boiled Repub-
hcan leadership of the House
in the days of. huge Republican
majorities, is now in a position
to compel the Republican leader.
ship to come to it by merely ab-
staining from voting Or by vot-
ing with the Democrats. They
can make Representative John
Garner, the Democratic leader,
the next Speaker of the House.
