OWNER OF AUTO WINS
IN COURT OF APPEALS
Decision Holds Man Not Liable
When Wife Drove Car Solely
for Own Pleasure.

Judgments Of the District Supreme
Court totaling $4,000 damages against
Samuel RubeEstein for injuries received
by Robert X. williams, Florence E.
Myers and John Myers when struck by
an automobile operated by Rubsnstein's
wife near Alexandria few years ago

Court Of Appeals in an opinion by
Justice D. Lawrence Groner
The appellate court held that as the
accident happened in Virginia the laws
Of that State controlled and not the
District statutes. Under the Virginia
law recovery could not be had where
the evidence Showed that the car was
being operated by a wife with her hus-
bands permission so,ely for her own
pleasure, and failed to show that the
vehicle had been maintained for family
use. The court declined to pass on the
applicability of the family purpose"
doctrine or the dangerous instrument

sustained through the use of automo-
hiles In this jurisdiction.

Lillian Evanti
In Notable Recital.
"HE home coming" Of Lillian
Evanti, local lyric soprano,
who has won great renown
4 singing In England and on
the continent, was featured
yesterday by a concert at the be.
lasco Theater, at which this talented
singer presented scholarly ana
skillfully interpreted program Miss
Evarti sang infinitely better tnan
many of the years most puonclZeo
recitalists and was received cordially
by an audience which was not as
large as 1t should have been-nor as
enthusiastic, either.
Perhaps the "scholarliness" OF the
works presented predisposed many
to a form of lukewarm taciturnlty.
Certainly after her rendition OF the
Bellini "Qui la voce" and the Bur-
leigh arrangement of Lord Want
to Be-" there were opportunities evi-
denced for more of an outburst than
actually took place. Miss Evanti
sang her Italian songs, her Ger
man songs, her French and Spanish
with clear cut enunciation. as
well as a tonal beauty which was
often inspirational Her top range
is not only strong, but particularly
resilient, and her breath control
amazing in its suppleness. While it
seemed as though once or twice the
artist chose to end her last note
before it had reached its utmost
maturity, she nevertheless gave it
such grace in execution as few
could surpass, and scarcely even SO
much as suggested straying from the
straight and narrow path Of strict
tonal pitch.
The program, which was con-
cluded with a particularly effective
Lullaby" written by Erich Reide,
who accompanied the soprano ef-
fectively throughout, was a judicious
mixture of the kind of songs which
Miss Evanti likes to do best. A great
Mozart enthusiast, she sang the
"Das Veilchen" charmingly and the
Franz Fur Musk" even more so,
and undertook the "Sadko" "Ber
ceuse" with degree of f1nesse that
indicates her probable excellence in
this particular opera. Other selec-
tions which stood out on the pro-
gram were the Giannini Tell Me,
Oh, Blue, Blue Sky" the Handel's
Care Selve," and the "Berceuse,"
from the opera "Sadko."

With Congress in holiday recess until

middle of next week at least for action
on the Bingham joint resolution de-
signed to nullify the provision in the

The provision, one of the admitted

in the event personnel reductions be-
come necessary because of inadequate
appropriations.
Senator Bingham had hoped to get
the Senate to adopt the resolution yes
terday, but was prevented by a pro-
longed debate on the home loan bank
bill. and discussion on conference re-
ports on appropriations bills which
were given the right of way.
Senator Bingham now plans to press
for action on the resolution Tuesday
soon after the Senate convenes. He is
confident of approval in view OF the
anxiety of the Senate to correct any
inequalities in the economy act. The
attitude of the House, however, Is
doubtful.

"Our principal objective in coming
here is to impress on Congress, the Dis
