MERIT SYSTEM
| FIGHT CENTER

Charging that the merit Sys-
tenn in the present Administration
has sustained "marauding at
tacks," the National Federation
of Federal Employees today an
nounced a vigorous campaign in
the next session of Congress to
strengthen the merit and classifi-
cation systems.
Miss Gertrude M. Mentally. Sec
retary-treasurer of the organiza-
ton, today dispatched letters to
officers of the more than 500
local unions urging them to bear
in mind that current conditions
for Government employees are
"fraught with dangers that must
be avoided sedulously."
Declaring that one of these
dangers is the disposition on the
part of many members to assume
that because final pay restoration
action is at hand, the battle for
the rights of Federal employees is
already won the letter stated two
issues "of transcendent impor-
tance"-the merit system and
Sification-must be If d

Ballet Charms
With Russian
Programs

Colorful and charming, the tai
ented dancers of the Ballet Russo
of Monte Carlo, presented two
extremely interesting programs at
the National Theater yesterday.
The ballet, which was enthu-
siastically received at both the
afternoon and evening perform
ances, was seen in three num-
bers ranging from light valse
through a fantasy and conclud-
ing with the whirlwind dances
from the Russian opera, prince
Igor"
BY far the most entertaining
of the three was LA Boutique
Fantasque" (the Fantastic Toy
Shop, danced to Rossini's Scin-
tillating music. Here the dancers
interpreted the separation of a
pair of doll lovers by their sale
to two different customers and
their escape with the aid of their
many doll companions in the fam
tastic toy shop. Dancing dolls
of all descriptions, from can-can
dancers to dancing poodles, par
ticipated in the general merri-
ment of the little fantasy.
The PolovtSien dances from
Prince Igor" were full of color
and action, executed with the
whirlwind grace of the Russian
folk dances.
Chopin's lovely music accom-
panied LES Sylphides, a Ro-
mantle Reverie," characterized by
the traditional charm and grace
of the ballet.

SEWAGE PLAN 7
AWA|TSFUNDS

The District Commissioners are
awaiting word from the Public
Works Administration which will
make 100000 available for con.
struction of a sewage disposal
plant.
In their first contract, the Com.
missioners agreed to an $4,000, 900
plant to be completed in four
years, later a second contract
shortened the time to two years,
and now by third contract they
are committed to a 100000
plant which, it is declared, will
fall short of the needs of the
District.
Engineering Com miss O n er
Daniel 1. Sultan admitted that
the half price" plant will not
solve the city's sewage disposal
problems. He said:
Final solution of the Dis
trict's sewage problem may not
be attained for a considerable
period, but the project to be
undertaken Immediately will
provide a functioning useful
work to meet present require
ments."
The project as it now stands, ap
proved by the PWA and the Com
misSioners, calls for sedimentation
Of sewage instead of the activated
sludge method which was nicer
porated in the $8,OOO,OOO plant.
Additions to the smaller plant
can be built to meet any in
creased needs of the city, Colonel
Sultan stated.
