| SHIFT UNDER WAY
Plan Is Last in RooseveIt's
Program-Employes to Go
on Temporary Basis.

With arrangements made for the
transfer to the Treasury of the disburs-
ing activities of seven independent
agencies, to make start toward setting
up the new division of disbursements for
the whole Government establishment,
tn last step in the reorganization pro-
gram outlined by President Roosevelt
in his executive order this past June Is
beirg gotten under way.
The shift, due December %, was an
nounced yesterday 1t will transfer dis
bursting employees from the General Ac-
counting Office, Civil Service Commits
sion, Employees Compensation Commis-
sion, Interstate Commerce Commission,
Federal Trade Commission, Federal
Power Commission and Tariff Comn1S-
sion. The disburSing clerk of the Treas
ury already has been brought into the
new set-up, over which Guy F. Allen.
executive assistant to the director of the
budget has been put in charge, with the
title Of director.
Temporary Status.
No estimate was available as to the
exact number of employees to be trans
ferred from the several groups, but it
is not believed there will be a great
number. Conferences will work this
out. At the same time. it was made
known that there are not expected to
be any diSmiSSalS in connection with
the change. 1t will, however, result as
usual in putting the employees involved
on a temporary basis for a while.
The Offices Of the new division Will
be in the Treasury Annex opposite the
department on Pennsylvania avenue.
where some time ago disbursing en-
ployes of the Veterans Administration
we're moved in. These workers have
not, however, been formally covered into
the new organization.
The division of disbursement was one
OF two centralized establishments pro-
vided under the reorganization order,
the other being the division of procure
ment, headed by Admiral ]. K. Peoples,
toward which a start has been made.
DeadIine Changed.
1t was originally intended that both
groups should begin functioning August
10. go days after the executive order,
but this was not feasible and the order
was amended, setting December 81 as
the deadline 1t is anticipated that
this order also will be changed as the
organization of the two groups, it is
recognized, will be long drawn out
process.
In selecting Mr. Allen as director, a
graduate of the ranks. with many years
service has been chosen. Mr.. Allen
entered the Office of the Treasurer OF
the United States as a clerk July /,
1906. Afterward he was made Assistant
Treasurer and in 1921 was nominated
for Treasurer in succession to John
Burke by President Wilson. A Repub-
lican Senate, however, refused to con-
firm him. When the Budget Bureau
was set up in President Hardings ad-
ministration, he became executive as
sistant and has retained this post since
During the war he went abroad and
consolidated the accounts of the over
seas establishment.

saying to themselves, Nov these

call with pleasure the fact that they
saw a dozen and more film stars
floating down Pennsylvania avenue
in the company of greater and lesser
celebrities, and that somehow this
was something rather new and GER
tainly exciting.
The public will want to see this
train when it Is driven into town
tomorrow morning at 9:15, not only
because on it are such salubrious
personalities as Bette Davis, Clair
Dodd, Glenna Farrell, Laura La
Plante. Eleanor Holm, funmaker
Joe E. Brown, as well as the lad
with the spurs, Tom Mix, and the
man with the punch, Jack Dempsey,
but because there are palm trees
aboard.
It is the first time that palm trees
have ever grown on an observation
car 1t is the first time that palm
trees have ever crossed the conti-
nent to make their bow to a new
President. It is the first time that
palm trees have really had any fun
at all.
This fun has not only been the
fun Of travelling by rail and seeing
a little of the world, but also be-
cause sand and little pigments OF
rock have been scattered all about
them and a dozen of "Hollywood's
most beautiful girls" have been re-
clining in their shade ever since the
trip began.
When the train arrives tomorrow
take a look at these trees (they are
said to be native HollywooO. Take
a look, too, at that library car in
which the stars have been reading
and writing since they boarded the
train, and at that electric kitchen,
which is model of culinary perfec-
tion.
Then, at 2 o'clock, drop around to
the Earle Theater and see these S. 1rs
in person. 1t seems that this vii be
their only free hour tomorrow. If
you don't catch them then you won't
see them at all behind the footlights.

Elman Is Soloist
With National Symphony.

A FTER several years Of ab-
~ sence, Mischa Elman, who
~ once led that crowd Of
4 \ youthful violin prodigies, re-
turned to Washington to
appear as soloist with the National
symphony Orchestra in yesterdays
concert at Constitution Hall.
The individuality Of his talent re-
tains Its distinguishing marks and,
while ripening with the years, has
not lost its beauty or elasticity. His
rich tone, perhaps the most vrile
OF all the violinists of his generation,
seems never to touch any encom-
passing lines in either breadth or
depth, but to flow in an abundance
Of free, sonorous sound. The bril-
liancy Of his left-hand technique,
which avoids the confinement Of
sensationalism, gives a sense Of sat-
1sfaction at its unobtrusiveness.
Combined with q bowing that Is
smoothness itself, he has an equip
ment admirably adapted to the use
he makes Of it-that Of mastery
Interpretation.
Mr.. Elman played the Brahms
ID Minor Concerto" and played It
with eloquence and emotion. While
sentiment Is his rich endowment. he
Is devoid Of sentimentality, and his
Interpretation expressed the best Of
healthy. human feeling. The beau
tiful adagio arrested and held the
attention with its exquisite lowell
ness Of vibrant sound. Surely
Brahms could not have wished for
inner medium to voice his profound
thoughts. With long phrasing that
fingered lovingly over each climax,
Mr.. Elnan drew cut the hidden con-
tent With eminent skill. The rhyth-
mica third movement was played in
easy, unhurried fashion, but with
strength and vivacity that overcame
all difficulties without effort and
swept with vigor to b brilliant finish.
In this concerto Brahms has given
equal importance to the orchestra, so
that 1t share the composers ideas
with the violin to an unusual degree.
DR.. Hans Kinder has the gift Of a
born accompanist and understands
to the finest shading how to fit in
with the soloist and the interpreta-
ton he Is giving. Yesterday, except
for moment or two when the
volume Of sound was too strong, the
orchestra played with finely adjusted
tone and an alertness that gave
vitality to its accompaniment. The
audience applauded with warmth
and enthusiasm and recalled Mr..
Elman many times in the hope Of
enticing him to give an encore.
The orchestra numbers Offset the
wetghtier content of the Brahms
concerto by providing music in q
lighter vein. Glinka's overture to
