cepted unity as its watchword
today in what President Jack Nc
Michael of Quitman, Ga, called
'this crucial political year of 1910. -
Mr.. McMichael, who was re-elect-
ed without opposition, said in his
closing remarks before adjournment

lea out of foreign war, for jobs for

specifically governments led by "a
war dictator, as are England and
France, or political dictator, as are
Germany, Italy, Japan, Russia and
Franco Spain"
Principal opposition to Mr.. Kra-
mer's measure was on the inclusion

tives at large were chosen. The
cabinet of officials later will select

that others undoubtedly" would be
cut off from receiving any benefits
at all, under the eligibility provis-
ions. It added that the statement
that the bill would make the District
as liberal as most Of the States was
correct only in part.
The Schoenthal group declared
that the Legislatures Of "a number"
of States at their sessions adopted
formulas for determining the weekly
benefit amount equivalent to one
twentieth of the earnings in the
highest" quarter year. Such pro-
visions, the group said, would mean
larger benefit checks for the average
Garner than the McGehee plan
would permit.
Statement Answered.
The Schoenthal group also de-
clared the bill would result in pay
ments for the average worker Of less
than q duration Of 10 weeks. This Is
true also of the present law.
The Board Of Trade statement, re-
leased To the press Saturday night,
asserted That under some conditions
the duration of benefits could be as
much q SO weeks. The Central
Labor Union spokesmen argued this
could be possible only II the worker
should serve his waiting period at
the beginning Of one benefit year
and, before he received any COM
pensation he should receive other
employment, remaining employed
until 18 weeks before the end Of his
benefit year. Other rules would
operate, Il added, so that the 36-
week period would be his complete
benefit rights for two years.
In an analysis of the comparative
statement of benefits under the
present law and under the new Nc
Gehee plan, as outlined by the
Board OF Trade. 1t was asserted by
the Schoenthal group, the trade
group used the maximums possible
under the McGehee plan and the
minimum payable under the present

Nijinsky's flawless ballet tech
nique and amazing leaps already
had won him acclaim In Europe as
the worlds greatest male dancer
before he made his first appearance
in the United States in 1916, an ap-
pearance that repeated his conti-
METAL successes.
But already the shadow Of mental
disorder was beginning to fall. AS a
Pole, Nijinsky had been imprisoned
In Hungary in the early days of the
World War. The experience caused
him profound suffering and periods
OF deep depression-brooding over a
warning world that had turned to
slaughter-occurred with increasing
frequency.
Condition Is Improved.
Finally he was placed in a sani-
tarium, and he danced no more.
Friends reported he had no desire
to go on with his art and responded
only fleetingly to the music for his
most famous dances.

shock treatments have brought
striking improvement in his condi-
ton.
Nijinsky and his wife left an Al
pine resort and came to Zurich when
they were informed the Labor De-

States foI his third insulin treat

Consulate Refuses Nijinsky
Visa for Treatment IN y. S.
Wife Weeps at
Setback in Fight
For Husbands S Sunity
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
ZURICH, May 9.-Vaslav Nijinsky,
renowned dancer who knew the
heights of world acclaim before
mental disorders blighted his ca
reer two decades ago, was blocked
by the United States consulate today
from visiting the United States.
Despite a Labor Department rul-
ing that the dancer should not be
barred because of insanity-a state
from which he is emerging grad
ually-the consulate refused Min
sky six-month visitors visa on the
grounds that spread of the war
might prevent his return to Europe.
To his wife, Nine. Romola Min
sky, it was bitter setback in two
year fight to take the great dancer
to the United States for further
treatment from a Viennese physi-
clan.
Weeping in her hotel room, Nine.
Nijinsky cried "Vaslavs life depends
on America!
why does America give me hope
and then dash it? The Labor De-
partment cabled April "a that my
husband should not be refused on
grounds of insanity, but now"
Dancer Seems Bewildered.
Nijirisky himself, a sunburned
healthy looking middle-aged man,
sat beside his weeping wife with q
bewildered expression.
InSulin shock treatments admin
istered by the Viennese physician,
DR.. Manfred Sakel, already have
brought Nijinsky back from the twi-
light of schizophrenia, enabling him
to leave the sanitarium where he
had been confined since 1919.
Sakel has gone to the United
States and the Nijinskys wish to
follow for more treatments.
Consulate officials declined to dis
cuss the case but Nine. Nijinsky said
she had been told the visa was re-
fused on the grounds that although
Nijinsky has both Swiss and Hun
garian return permits, the war might
spread to those countries and pre-
vent his coming back.
Offered Other Visas.
II offered to get Cuban and Mex
lean visas" as further assurance he
would not be without some place to
go, Nine. Nijinsky said, but consular
officers told me they would issue the
visa only If Washington ordered it."
Immediately after the refusal,
Nine. Nijinsky cabled President
Roosevelt, Secretary Hull and several
American womens organizations
hoping to change the ruling.
