based on the fact that heat and
power distribution through under
ground lines, housed in makeshift or
wornout conduits. offers little, if any,
protection and insulation. The money
that might have been saved through
a modern power plant is lost in the

DELAY BY BUDGET
BLOCKS PAY OF 25O
Status Of A. A. A. Employees
Must Be Clarified by
Bureau.

Delay in the Budget Bureau has
held up for q month or more the pay
of some $50 employees in the Agri-
cultural Adjustment Administration
whose appointments, either on per-
manent or indefinite status, under the
economy act, must clear through the
bureau as they go to the White House
for approval.
This developed yesterday when aid
for the workers was requested in a
letter to Budget Director Douglas
from E. G. Babcock, president of the
American Federation of Government
Employees. Babcock said "a number
of temporary employees" transferred
to permanent status prior to January
], had had their pay held up.
At the A. A. A. it was conceded a
few might have gone without pay
since before the middle of January.
1t was admitted, however, that about
$50 had had no pay since that time,
and that Secretary Wallace had gone
to the White House and Budget Bu-
reau in an effort to facilitate action.
No reason for the delay was known
by employing officers. 1t was said
that prior to early January, about two
appointment lists weekly we're handled
with the White House, but that none
. had come back since that time.
Eventually the employees will be paid,
it was said.

POST OFFICE ITEM

Senate Committee Increases
Sum for Annex in

The Senate Appropriations Com
mittee yesterday increased from
$685., 900 to s4oo, 900 the item in the
Treasury-Poss once appropriation
bill for completion of the extension
being made to the Washington City
Post Office.
At the same time, the committee
turned down request of the Treas
ury Department for authority to en-
ploy a number of experts to investi-
gate and reorganize the methods Of
administration in that department.
The House had increased the item
for personal services under the Office
of the Secretary of the Treasury by
100000 above the current appropria-
ton, but did not insert the necessary
accompanying language to authorize
employment Of the investigating ex-
perts. The department asked the
Senate Committee to insert the Ian
guage, but the Senate group rejected
the authorizing amendment and also
struck out the extra money the House
had put In.
Furniture Factory Item.
The Senate Committee also changed
the bill 10 remove a House restric.
ton intended to prevent the Post
Office Department from utilizing for
supplies and equipment the proposed
Government furniture factory at
Reedsville, w. Va. The West Virginia
factory is being planned as an unem-
ployment relief project, and Mrs.
Franklin D. Roosevelt has been one of
those taking a personal interest in
the proposal.
The section in question provides
funds for purchase, manufacture and
repair of mail bags and other postal
equipment. The House amended the
bill to require that manufacturing ac-
tivities be confined to the District of
Columbia. The Senate amendment
does not refer specifically to the West
Virginia factory, but would psrmit
part of the funds under this section
to be spent outside the District.
The biggest change made by the
Senate Committee was to reduce the
allotment for transportation of air.
mail during the fiscal year, beginning
July l, from $4,000. 900 to s12, 2,000,-
900, in anticipation of legislation linn
iting the rate to 40 cents per air
plane mile.
ss20,s53,512 Grand Total.
The bill as reported from Senate
Committee contains a grand total OF
$500 ,953.512 for all purposes in the
Treasury and Post ONCE Depart
ments, a net increase of s163 pei over
the House total. The bill will be
reported to the Senate by Senator
Glass, Democrat, of Virginia
In addition to raising the amount
for the Washington City Post Ofhce

Roberts and Donovan Pre-
dict Improvements at
Completion of Survey.

A prediction that substantial econ
omy and material improvement in
municipal service will be found pos
sible when the survey of the DistSct
government, now being made, is COM
pleted, was made by Assistant Cor
poration Counsel w. A. Roberts and
Auditor Daniel j. Donovan in a pre-
liminary report yesterday to Chair
man King of the Senate District
Committee.
Roberts submitted only compila-
ton of all acts of Congress establish
ing the organic duties and set-up of
| the District government. This will
| be followed from time to time by
additional reports analyzing in detail
the functions and expenses Of various
municipal departments, together with
an exhaustive discussion of various
theories and methods of municipal
government.
Improvements in Effect.
Roberts and Donovan who, with an
agent of the Budget Bureau, were ap-
! pointed last Summer to make the
study for the Senate committee, re-
ported that number of minor i'm
provements already have been put
into effect by the Commissioners as a
result OF the survey. 1t probably will
be May before all sections of the re-
port and the recommendation are
ready for submission to Senator King.
Roberts explained in his letter to
Senator King yesterday that future
| sections of the report would include
| the following material:
l. Functional studies of every de-
partment, unit and related agency OF
the District of Columbia Government
| including studies of duties, personnel
| and equipment.
2. Organization charts for each in.
dividual agency, establishing the re-
lattonship with other agencies.
8. Analytic reports of expenditures
by agencies and by functions for the
fiscal years 1920 to 1898, inclusive.
4. A series of special studies on the
cost OF automotive transportation, the
school system, recreation and housing
| of the governmental departments
5. A brief historical analysis of the
form Of government in the District.
6. Detailed analysis of municipal

The Roth String Quartet Of Buda-

at the Library Of Congress yesterday

Without the art of the Roth Quartet
these works might suffer much and
rest longer without recognition Of
their merits, which a less artistic
handling could easily hide.

to a new music has been well chosen,
provided the native gift is strong
enough and the vision broad. 1t
showed there is possibility of expan-
sion and depth If the mind of the
composer is sufficiently fertile.
Emotional Music.
The Harris Variations in Three
Movements was the best example Of
this presented this week, for Mr.. Har-
ris has real and decided urge to
express himself in music. For him
music is still an emotional mode of
speech and not mathematical prob
lem, and his ideas move somewhere
from a definite base There is Moth
ing haphazard or experimental in his
writing; it is concise and vivid and
true. He has special talent for har-
rnonizing the instruments and under
stands the rich effects they can at
tain. This composition. written last
year, was played from manuscript.
The variations begin with an
amplifcation of folk-like melodies,
their simplicity elaborated with grace
and harmonic abundance. The Sec
ond movement, eXquisitely dreamy in
character. and played with muted
strings, gave the theme to the exposi-
ton of three instruments, changed
about expertly, the fourth instrument
each time sustaining an accompani-
ment. For the cello, so sparingly
taken notice of in modern writing
some lovely measures were devised
which later in duet with the full
toned violin achieved climax of rare
beauty. The intricate third movement
ended with organ-like volume and
harmony, a definite resolution of q
definitely conceived idea. The ap-
plause at the end was genuine ac-
acknowledgement Of a work of value
and the presence Of Mr. Harris, who
came to the stage to thank the quar-.
tet, redoubled the enthusiasm.

resonant, but barely whispered tone
which the Roth players used in its
Interpretation. With a predominant
rhythm, unabated at any time, it pro-
