With RAY FITZPATRICK

Introducing new numbers and new ideas Is among my ambitions. What I do not like is the expression of over-senti- mentality in music. There's as much sentiment in me as in anyone. But heart .throb Tyr ics, that are patiently insinccre, never appealed to me. Songs must be beautiful and simple, understandable, easy to listen to and danceable, in my opin- ion, if they are to appeal to the general public. Now you know my goal.

When asked to write this col umn my first impulse was to re- fuse because I knew it would be certain to sound egotistical. Hav- ing only been broadcasting a year, I don't feel qualified to discuss radio in general with authority. The only subjects with which I'm really familiar are myself and my band. But Ray assures me that fans are interested in what goes on behind the scenes. So here are a. few words about the aims of our program and how we design it.

RESIDENTIAL OATH
URGED FOR C. W. A.
Labor Group Head Claims New
corners Given Jobs Before
Others.

A request that the civil works rules
Of the District be changed so that ap-
plicants for jobs would have to give an
oath as to their residence was filed
Yesterday with Capt. Howard F. Clark,
c. w. A. Planning Committee chair
man, by John T. Kelley, president OF
the National Federation Of Techniclans
and Labor.
The suggestion was made when Kel-
ley called at the District Building to
file q protest against the hiring of nom
residents on civil works projects. Kel-
lev said he had found numerous cases
where bona fide residents of Washing
ton had not been given work, while
others, who had been here only short
time, were employed.
Aside frezl the thousands of men and
women formerly on the District relief
rolls who were transferred to civil
works status, the c. w. A. workers have
been selected from the register OF ap-
plicants at the District Public Employ
ment Center. under supervision OF the
Labor Department
For this reason, Capt. Clark told Kel-
ley, the District has no direct control
over the matter. Clark said, however
that he would consider the suggestion
and do what he could to assist Wash
ington residents not yet on the G. w
A. rolls.
After complaints that Washington
residents had not been able to obtain
C. w. A. work where nor-residents
had been assigned to Jobs were laid
before Commissioner George E. Allen
he appealed to the Federal c. w. A
for an increase Of 5000 Jobs over the
present quota Of 10000.

DISTRICT MAY ASK
|NC|NERAT0R USE
Officials Will Urge Reopening
of Plant if Committees
Seek Comments.

The question of whether the high
pressure incinerator near First and o
streets southeast, built by the District
at q cost of s355, 900. should be kept
closed for another year probably will be
raised when congressional committees
begin consideration of the proposed
1885 budget. g
District officials have received many
complaints from residents against the
operation of the trash burning dump
on the Anacostia fats, which was es-
tablished last Summer when Congress
forbade the use Of the southeast incin-
orator.
Use Of the incinerator will be urged
by District officials II members Of the
Appropriations Committees asks for
comments on the matter.
The 1885 budget as it came from the
Budget Bureau, continued a restriction
against use of the southeast incinerator.
The Budget Bureau rejected plea by
District officials that this be removed.
District officials contend the plant
could be operated without any increase
IN the proposed appropriation Of 5000
600 for the collection of District refuse
but point out that an additional amount
of $4,000 will be needed if the Dis
trict Is to burn commercial and Federal
Government trash as we'll as that OF
private residences and small apartment
houses. ,.
While operation of the plant was
stopped by Congress as an economy
move, actually no money was saved
because of the necessity of establishing
the dump and the longer hauis and
use of more trucks that resulted from
the change, officials say.

rsdo asked Pittman if there was any
other explanation for the unanimity OF

Presidents than that "the ends to be

There is no other answer" Pittman
replied.

ton observers were informed that more

of the pact with Canada had brought
them some votes, how many they did
not profess to know.
An Independent Republican meeting
yesterday was reported to have been
held in the Office Of Senator Norris OF
Nebraska. long an advocate OF public
power development. With him at the
meeting were Senators La Toilette OF
Wisconsin, Nye and Frazier Of North
Dakota and Shipstead OF Minnesota,
Farmer-Labor member.
They were understood to have ap-
preached three other Republicans,
Borah of Idaho, johnson Of California
and Cutting of New Mexico, for support.
Senator Norbeck of South Dakota also

Governors on Committee.
Meanwhile the Great Lakes-St. Law
renee Tidewater Association announced
that Governors of nine Midwestern
States have been added to Its Execu-
tive Committee.
Charles p Craig, executive director OF
the association, said that with the ex-
ception OF two senatorial votes from
the State of Illinois, and possibly
the two votes in the State of Missouri"
the Midwest from the Allegheny
Mountains to the Pacific is now, as for
the past 13 years, a solid phalanx in
favor of and demanding the seaway."
Chief executives added to the Exec
utive Committee were Cows. White Of
Ohio, Schmedeman of Wisconsin, Olson
of Minnesota, Herring of Iowa. Landon
of Kansas, Comstock of Michigan,
Bryan of Nebraska, LANCER Of North
Dakota and Cooney of Montana.
Craig said opposition from Illinois
was due primarily to the desire of the
sanitary district of Chicago to continue
in defiance of the decisions of the
United States Supreme Court its alb
straction of water from Lake Michigan
not primarily for purposes OF naviga-
ton. but for creation and sale of hydro
electric power.
