GALLI-CURCI'S
-. V0|CESAVED

CHICAGO, Aug. IS GN.sJ.
The golden voice of Nine. Amelia
Cali Curci has been saved.
Threatened by a goiter which
the great coloratura whimsically
called my potato" the diva's
voice was pronounced as great as
ever today following a private,
impromptu and fragmentary re-
cital.
The goiter was removed a few
days ago by DR.. Arnold H. Kegel,
former Chicago health commits
Sioner.
Discussing her operation and
the possible result to the voice
that has thrilled music lovers the
world over, Galli-Curci, after a
warning she must resume her
singing slowly and with great
care, could restrain herself no
longer and burst into song.
She sang a passage from the
Barber Of Seville before DR.. Kegel
could stop her. The range, the
agility, the magical quality Of the
incompatible voice were all there
as the music Swelled through the
hospital room.

SULTAN BEGINS
UNDERPASS, 4
VIADUCT

Engineer Commissioned Dan I.
Sultan lost no time in pushing
plans today for an early start on
construction of an underpaSs and
q viaduct over the railroad tracks
in the Northeast section, running
parallel to New York Avenue.
The construction work was au-
thorized in a bill signed late yes
terday by President Roosevelt,
amending the statute OF 1903
which authorized construction Of
the Union Station in the Capital.
Through the construction Of
the underpasS, which will be To-
Gated in the vicinity Of what Is
now known as Langdon Station,
one Of the few grade crossings
left in the District will be
eliminated.
Will Discuss Plans
Commissioner Sultan said he
will discuss plans for both the via
duct and the underpaSs at today'S
meeting Of the National Capital
Park and Planning Commission.
After the necessary highway
changes are made, Commissioner
Sultan said, borings will be made
of the soil at the proposed site OF
the viaduct, which will determine
whether or not the span may be
constructed so as to pass over
New York Avenue or whether BY
passes leading traffic into the
avenue must be constructed.
Under terms Of the bill, the rail-
road will bear the cost, approx
mating 100000 for building the
viaduct and underpaSS, while the
District will foot the bill Of ap-
proximately 100000 for construc-
ing the necessary approach road
ways.
Built at Intersection
The underpass will be built be-
tween the intersection of West
Virginia and New York Avenues,
in line with Eighteenth Street,
and, possibly stretch as far as
Montana Avenue.
Site of the viaduct is at Ninth
and T Streets, Brentwood Road,
and, if the soil boring make it
possible, extending over New
York Avenue. If the soil boring
prove this far stretch impossible,
the viaduct will be built so that
by passes will feed traffic into
New York Avenue.
Officials were unable to esti-
mate definitely today when the
work will be completed, but de-
clared conservatively they ex-
pected it will be finished within
two years.

SYSTEM
ISLAUDEDBY
STEWARD

Outlining important questions
that will be taken up at the forth.
coming biennial convention Of the
National Federation of Federal
Employees in September, Luther C..
Steward, president Of the organ
ization, last night termed protec-
ton Of the merit system as the
most vital issue to be stressed.
In a radio address, Mr.. Steward
reiterated previous statements
that the foundation stone of good
government is a strongly enforced
system of public employment on a
merit basis, advocating the method
Of selecting personnel through
competitive examination.
Merit System
Asserting that the merit system
is the only basis of democratic gov
eminent, Mr.. Steward said in
part:
ut is the only system that Is
truly fair to both taxpayers and
to the employees themselves. To
the taxpayers it gives the best
possible assurance Of efficiency
and economy in the transaction
of public business. To the en-
plOyeS who make a career of the
public service it should assure
security of tenure upon proved
fitness"
The emp1oye leader pointed out
that England and France have
understood the value of a merit
system in government service, but
that in America virtually all new
Federal agencies have been stated
without recourse to civil service
laws and requirements"
Many to Attend
Opening September at Yellow
stone National Park, the NFFE
convention will be attended by
delegates from $50 local unions
from every State, insular posses
sion and from many foreign lands,
Mr.. Steward said. Included in
varied benefits that will be form
ulated in the organizations pro-
gram for the next two years, he
mentioned the matter of classifi-
cation for the field service, not
now included under present laws.
He also deplored the current be-
lief among citizens throughout the
country that a Federal post is
a "sinecure, which, once gained,
takes care of the occupant for
life," terming such a view as
ridiculous. ...ss:ss.
