ORGAN RECITAL.

THE fifth, and last, in the series OF
L organ recitals, assisted by students
from the department of voice, Mount
Vernon School of Music, was given
Wednesday night at the church by Nina
Buzzard, organiSt, and D. Wendell
Phillips, tenor.
Stewards fanciful organ impressions,
opened the program. This number is a
favorite with audiences at Balboa Park,
California, where DR.. Stewart has given
the outdoor concerts for the past Is
years. Powell Weaver, popular Kansas
City organiSt, has given American
organists a splendid "skit" in his
Squirrel" This proved to be very
realistic number. Deane Shure's villa
Maria by the Sea- was written at Cape
May, N. j., and is titled after the
famous convent by that name, located
there. Following this came the difficult
pedal study by Pietor Yon, New York
organist. Legend of the Mountain, 5"
by Karg- Ebert, who was heard at the
Library of Congress during the past
season, was particularly impressionistic.
The profound and scholarly Fourth
Sonata" by Mendelssohn concluded the
program.
D. Wendell Phillips, whose voice is
pleasing and shows much promise, con-
tributed two groups of songs which
were enjoyed by the audience. They
were: "On Wings Of Song" Mendelssohn;
open Thy Blue Eyes" Massanet: the
famous '4Vittoria" by Carissimi and
Una Stella by Mltollk

GLASSFORD SHUNS POLICE PAY
PENDING RULING ON LEGALITY
Chief Wishes Assurance That His Army Retirement
Income Will Not Be Lost

From the War Department there
came several weeks ago an uno1nclal
opinion that retired Army officers mold
ing civilian positions. who gave up tne
retired pay during civilian employment
would be eligible to draw the pension
again after leaving the civilian loo;
Gen. Glassford, however, said ne wanted
an oficial opinion from the controller
general before he would accept DIS
trict paw. He wants to avoid any po-
tential loophole or legal technlcanIy
that might prevent him from drawing
his Army pension when he leaves the
District service.
Will Not Quit himself.
Gen. Glassford, however. does not
propose to leave the District service
voluntarily. He likes his loo as cnlei
of police, despite the extra duties ana
the long hours, and other triaS ana
tribuIations that grew out OF the COM
i3g of the bonus expeditionary force
But he has a feeling that otnclals
higher than the District Commlssioners
want his scalp" because OF his inter
est in the bonus army. The Soldler
that is still in him will not let MIN go
down without a fight
Il do not intend to resign Volun-
tarily," he declared. Even shouio
be requested to resign, ! might not 40
that without some hesitation"

No Reduction in Electric
Rates This Year Can Be
Made Because of Suit.

The Potomac Electric Power Co. to-
day noted an appeal to the District
Court of Appeals from the decision of
Justice Oscar R. Luhring susta aiming
the action of the Public Utilities Com
mission in passing an order abrogating
the consent decree of December 81,
1924. and setting up a new sliding scale
method of determining electric rates in
Washington.
At the request of Attorney S. R.
Bowen. for the company, the court
fixed october 10 as the limit for filing
and submitting the statement OF ev1-
dence on which the appeal will be
based.
PEOPLES Counsel Richmond B. Keech
and Assistant Corporation Counsel Will
liam A Roberts will oppose the COM
pany's attempt to secure in the appel
late court a reversal of the decision OF
Justice Luhring.
No reduction of electric rates may be
expected during the current year, as the

Court of Appeals before November ana
no decision can be looked for before

Washington News

Brig. Gen Pelham D. Glassford re-
vealed today he had refused TO accept
any pay for his services as Superln-
tendent of police since July because
Of fear that his Army retirement pay
might be jeoparoized.
Gen Glsssiord feels his days are
numbered as Washington'S police chle1
and that he will be forced to fall back
on his Army p.nsion. For that reason
he does not propose to make any tech-
nical slip that would cut of his re-
tirement pay in the future.
The fear of Gen. Glassford Is based
on a provision in the economy act
which precludes a retired Army ot1lcer
in a civilian post from drawing Gov
eminent compensation from two sources
if the combined income exceeds $4,000
a yeer. So he has decided that until
official assurance is given that ne can
draw retired pay frol., the Army al er
leaving the District service he will not
permit his name to appear on the
Police Department pay roll
Awaits Official Ruling.
Gen. Glassford said he had asked
for an official ruling on the question.
but thus far had failed to receive a
decision from Controller General NC
Carl. who is interpreting the puzziing
provisions in the economy act as rap
idly as possible.

RUMOR DENIED HERE.
French Embassy Lays Report to Imagi-
nations in Paris.

The French embassy stated this
morning that there was no truth what
soever in the reports published in Paris
about the recall Of Ambassador Paul
Claudel.
Such rumors have circulated now for
ever a year, and are brought out gen.
orally by imaginative reporters OF
Partisan newspapers.
All European governments, and par
ticularly France, are anxious to avoid
at present any public discussion of debt
cancellation, and it is unlikely that
Premier Herriot at this time would
make a diplomatic gesture which
would necessarily be interpreted in this
country as a move to prepare the
ground for the discussion OF the wal
debt question.

DECLARES FRIENDSHIP
FOR U. S. INCREASING
DR.. Louis Martin Sears Says Attl-
tude of Latin American Nations
Is Improving.

Latin-American friendship for the
United States is gradually overcoming
certain irritating traits of Americans
and their Government, DR.. Louis Martin
Sears of Purdue University told the
Conference of Hispanic American Al
fairs at George Washington University
yesterday.
Too often Americans seek to override
the Latin's inclination to take his time
about transacting business matters, and
too often American financiers drive
sharp bargains which reflect no good
on the individual or his countrymen,
DR.. Sears said.
Conditions, however, are improving,
the speaker said, pointing to the ef-
forts Of the Pan-American Union and
to the fact that the supervision Of
Nicaraguan elections by United States
Marines impressed the natives with the
fairneS sof the American military.

Granting Of Reduction to

Asked in Letter.
COMMISSIONS ACTION
RESULT OF COMPLAINTS
ecres!tion to Present Schedule in
Montgomery and Prince Georges
Has Continued Two Years.
b. a stsr Correspondent Of The Star.

BY a Stsf Correspondent Of The Star.
BALTIMORE, Md, July 29-The
Maryland Public Service Commission
yesterday entered the fight by residents
Of Montgomery and Prince Georges
Counties against alleged discriminatory
gas rates of subsidiaries of the Wash
ington Gas Light Co. when a letter
asking that prompt assurance be given
that Maryland consumers would receive
the benefits of the reduced rates an
nounced Tuesday was forwarded to the
District of Columbia corporation.
In the letter, which resulted from
numerous complaints against the action
of the company in not extending its
S5 per cent reduction on all gas bills
above the minimum to Maryland con-
sumers. the commission declared the
question "can only be settled by re-
moving this discrimination against resi-
dents of the two counties"
Reductions Are Restricted.
Harold E. West, chairman of the
commission, who signed the letter, de-
clared he had been informed the re-
auctions would not apply to custom
ers of the Georgetown Gas Co. and the
Washington Gas Light Co. living in
this State.
Residents of the two counties have
staged a two-year fight. west said, over
a differential of about 20 cents charged
them over the rate assessed District
residents. although in many instances
they are served from the same mains
which supply their District neighbors
across the street.
Two complaints against the alleged
discrimination were received by West
Yesterday one from Brainard H.
Warner. an attorney in the Tower
Building at Washington, and the other
from John W. Coffman, secretary Of
the Takoma Park Chamber of Com
merce.
Warner said he had written the COM
pany asking that the reduced rates be
made applicable to consumers in Mary
land and declared that in the event OF
an unfavorable reply I may ask i'm
mediate action by the Maryland COM
mission.
Other Protests Received.
West also said the commission has
received a number of protests from resi-
dents of the metropolitan area of Prince
Georges County against the Washing
ten Suburban Gas Co.. one OF the most
recent of which was forwarded by Theo-
dore E Marquis and his wife. who lives
at 42I Jackson avenue, Riverdale, in
which they charge that county resi-
dents pay nearly double the rate
charged Washington consumers OF the
same company and that county resi-
dents do not receive the benefit OF a
lower rate for commercial use OF gas.
West pointed out in his letter that
the rate question has been matter of
considerable concern to the commission
and the source Of irritation to Mary
land customers and that. although rep
resentatives of the gas company agreed
at Conference with the commission
nearly two years ago that the rates OF
the two jurisdictions should be brought
together as rapidly as possible. the dlt-
ferential against Maryland customers
still exists.
