Weird Dali Ballet
Is Monte Carlo Opus
BY CHARLES GENTRY

YOU MAY have seen a dream
dancing, but you've never watched
a nightmare in motion until you've
seen Labyrinth" the new Saliva
dor Dali ballet which was the
Spectacular and weird feature OF
the opening Monte Carlo Ballet
program with the Detroit Sym
phony Orchestra here last night
in Masonic Auditorium.
Dali. as you know, is the sur
realist artist who wears lamb
chops for collars and likes TO sleep
in a 1902 bathtub.
One day. while he was playing
gin rummy with Harpo Marx, and
without deck of cards, he heard
a noise like the Schubert C-Major
Symphony, so he designed the set
ting and a libretto for ballet
which was performed here last
might. .

been disappointed last night be-
cause the biggest crowd Masonic
Auditorium has had his ye r
turned out to see what happened
when boy. Theseus, meets girl,
Ariadne. during the four move
ments of the Schubert Seventh.
II is quite appropriately called
Labyrinth, I" because, If you can
find your way through it. you're
either a genius or merely crazy.
Although there is slightly con-
cession TO classical sanity in the
idea OF Theseus defying the Fates
by entering the tower, Staying the
Minotaur and freeing the maiden,
Ariadne, we think Mr.. Dali has
written the rest with his tongue
in his SlIrrealist cheek.

Davies AssaiIs Cudahy
For Proposing Peace Bid

BY the Associated Press.
LOS ANGELES, Aug. 12.-Joseph
E. Davies, former Ambassador to
Belgium and Russia, criticized John
Cudahy, former Ambassador to Bel
GUM, for advocating that the United
States initiate a peace move.
John Cudahy is being used as a
stool pigeon, unconsciously, for the
men who would destroy christian
ity," Mr.. Davies told a Town Hall
meeting yesterday. Il say this with
sorrow"
Mr.. Cudahy suggested the peace
move in an address in Milwaukee
Sunday.
Mr.. Davies was to have spoken on
Russia, but devoted half of his talk
to reply to Mr.. Cudahy.
Hitler has broken his word again
and again" he said, "and now
thinks he can kid us again.
This talk of peace is nothing but
Trojan horse.
"Is Hitler, flushed with victory,
likely to make peace on any other
terms but those that would be to
his own advantage? Has my old
friend John Cudahy been taken for

This marks his second visit to the

make speeches calculated to arouse
this country. He openly invited the
United States to declare war. He

he is still part of the government,

Long a Foe Of Germany.
This Englishman is a short, red

swerving convictions. From the end
of the World War until today, he
was opposed to Germany. Until the
tragedy of last summer, he was pro-
French and he preached co-opera-
ton with France during the 192Os.
He stirred up great fuss in Eng
land in 1885 and 1886 with his two
volume biography of Marshal Haig,
the English commander in the World
War, whose authority Lloyd George

U.S.. Defectors Used 10 Spol
kazi Planes in Russia

American airplane detectors, such
as are now being used in spotting
aircraft over London, have made
their initial appearance along the
eastern front, according to the Lon
don Times. The new plane detectors
enable the observers to plot the
course of enemy bombers and locate
1t accurately about so miles from its
target.
The detectors, similar to Britain's
new radiolocator, help the Russians
locate Nazi raiders despite fog or
darkness. Since raiders can be
spotted so far away from the site
of the detector, Russian intereeptor
planes have ample time to go into
action This American device Is

Never in his life has Duff Cooper
silenced his convictions.
In the midst of this busy life he
has written a number of books be-
sides his life of Haig. The best is
a life of Talleyrand. He compared
the English and American govern

which Mr.. Cooper went after Lloyd
George shook the whole island.
Mr.. Cooper was born in 1890, the
son Of Sir Alfred Cooper, a surgeon,
and of the former Lady Agnes Duff,
sister of the Duke Of Fife He
went to New College, oxford, in
1908, and shone in modern history
as we'll as at wild oats. He was a
favorite pupil of H. A. L. Fisher,
one of the most celebrated of the
oxford historians. He was so dis
putatlous that DR.. Fisher consid-
cred him "very exciting to teach"
When he was graduated from OK
ford, he went to London and joined
the foreign Office as a career man.
There he met Mr.. Churchill, but
he remained a foreign service Of
ficer only a short time. He went
to war, served under Haig, and
came out with D. S. o. He
became a politician in 1924, going to
Parliament as Conservative member
from Oldham. He has never wav-
cred from a sort of ultraconservatism
in domestic affairs.
Vigor Pushed Him Up.
His vigor and his wisdom pushed
him up the ladder. In 1928 he
was financial secretary for the War
Office Then the Conservatives
went out and the Labor party went
in, but Mr.. Cooper regained this
post in 1881 and held it until 1884.
From 1884 to 1885 he was financial
secretary for the treasury. From
1885 to 1887, during the period when
his Haig books came out, he was
War Secretary. In 1887 he became
First Lord of the Admiralty. That
office he "envied beyond all others
in the state" but he resigned
from it.

Duff Cooper, Coming
Here Today, Set Fires
|For Fun at Oxford
Britisher Hos Changed
But Little Since His
Hectic College Days
By BLAIR BOLLES.

When Alfred Duff Cooper was at
oxford he used to amuse himself
and outrage his mentors by setting
bonfires of furniture-not one bon
fire at a time but four or five, to
make it harder for the firemen. He
was a student who enjoyed contro-
versy and bowed to no authority
unless he agreed with it.
Oxford still remembers him with
an academic shudder and his char
acter has changed little. The Duff
Cooper who reaches Washington to-
day is an explosive, vitriolic, jovial
fun-loving, controversy-loving Eng
lishman.
Mr.. Cooper, the nephew of a duke
has been riding the high wave of
political prosperity since May, 1910
when Winston Churchill, the grand
son of duke, became Prime Min
lister. Mr.. Cooper and Mr.. Churchill
had been friends since about 1912
and their bond was still more firm
in 1888 by their heated opposition
to all ideas of appeasement, which
was the foundation of Neville
Chamberlain's foreign policy. Mr.
Cooper left the cabinet in 1888 out
of opposition to the Munich settle
ment.
Due Here Late Today.
This close friend of Prime Min
lister Churchill arrived in the United
States Sunday. A plane is to land
him at the Washington Airport al
4:25 this afternoon. Within a fort
night he expects to have left North
America for Singapore, where he
has been instructed to coordinate
Britain's colonial administration. Ir
other words. he has become a lead.

Injunction Suit Filed
To Block Apartments
On Bethesda Tract
Property Involved
Wus Rezoned Only
Three Weeks Ago

A suit seeking an injunction to
prohibit the construction of an
apartment project on property
which the Montgomery County
Commissioners recently voted to
rezone residential C on Bradley
boulevard in Bethesda, Md, was on
file today in the County Circuit
Court.
The action was filed by DR.. Robert
e. Lee Wiltberger and Virginia N.
H. Wiltberger of 102 Chevy Chase
drive, Chevy Chase, Md, and names
as defendants George P Sacks,
Metropolitan Properties Co., Inc,
the Maryland-National Capital Park
and Planning Commission and Jack
S. Eaton, county building inspector,
The suit seeks to restrain the
real estate firm and Mr.. Sacks from
constructing apartments on the
land and also seeks to enjoin the
building inspector from granting,
and the Park and Planning Com
mission from approving building
permits for such structures.
Rezoned by Board.
About three weeks ago the Mont
eomery County Commissioners voted
3 to l to rezone the property from
residential A to C. The rezoning
petition was filed by Mr Sacks.
The land is adjacent to the Balti-
more & Ohio Railroad tracks on
Bradley boulevard, near the Bethes-
da-Chevy Chase recreation center
and the property involved comprises
about Is acres.
The suit sets out that a building
permit for construction of an apart
ment house has already been issued
to Mr.. Sack for part of the land
involved and seeks to enjoin him
from proceeding with construction.
The Wiltbergers' injunction petit
ton asserts they purchased part of
two lots on October 16, 1928 from
Rouleau, Inc, of which Mr.. Sacks
was secretary, in reliance on the
existence of residential A classi-
fcation in the community. The
petition says the -neighborhood has
been improved by single family
dwellings and that the rezoning ac-
ton of the county commissioners is
illegal because it was not necessary
for the protection of the public
health, morals, safety and welfare

The Wiltbergers further charge
the re5oning was an illegal, unlaw-
fu, arbitrary and capricious attempt
to effect a change in the original
comprehensive Zoning plan for this
district" under which the area has
developed for 13 years.
The petition also charges the re-
zoning request was not filed by the
owners of the land involved ano
that the request by Mr.. Sacks az
agent "exists neither in law nor ir
fact; that several changes in own
ership of the lots occurred while
the rezoning petition was pending
before the county commissioners.
