Don Cossack Chorus
Well Received Here

of the opinion that it might well
have been left off the program.
It was The Lords Prayer" by Ma
lotte. and it may have been the
arrangement by M. Fifeisky that
was responsible, but to these ears
it was lacking ir effectiveness. The
melody was frequently swallowed
up in massive compact harmonles.
It was sung in English.
The second part OF the program,
as did the third part, ightened up
the audiences tense listening, and
toward the end it was simply en-
tertainment of a splendid nature,
including a dagger dance by G..
Soloduhin. in which too many
knives to be easily counted were
juggled and finally, from the dane
er's teeth, if you please, thrown

Another dancer was Volodla La
zarev who performed the popular
dance of the Don Cossacks, with
several members of the company
joining in later in grand melee
of individual muscular agility.
The BASES, going down far pc
low low c, the bass-barltones, the
baritones, and the tenors OF the
chorus going to the other extreme
from the bases, blended beautifully,
while solo singing by N. Khada- *,
Stephan Slepoushkin, M. Dedovitch,
and V. Marmonoff was of very high
order.
The triple change in uniform
which the chours made, added
much to the effectiveness and as

World Aviation PACT
Hinges on Question Of
Authority for Board
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, Nov. 16.-The ques-
tons facing leading figures Of the
International Civil Aviation Confer
ence today In their attempt to reach
an agreement on a world air agency
ARE:
How far should the world 60 now
in attempting to apply economic
controls 70 airline operations be-
Tween countries?
Should there be an international
Civil Aeronautics Board empowered
to grant routes between nations, to
supervise the rates, and to say how
often planes should fly? That is, In
rough outline, what the British and
Canadians came to ask.
United States Plan Differs.
Or should the international body
every one agrees there should be an
international group-be restricted to
the status OF an advisory board,
without power relating to routes.
rates and schedules? That is what
the United States wants.
The British Commonwealth of
Nations is united in the view that
now is the time to write the an
swers into a treaty. The United
States prefers to lay a foundation
composed Of study and experiment,
with a permanent structure for eco
nomic controls formed at some flu
ture time.
There is great deal more to the
present parley than economic prob
lens. One item which has universal
acclaim is the writing of new set
Of standards for operating aircraft
the kind Of maps and weather re-
ports to be used, marking of the
planes, size and marking of airports,
communications systems, qualif1ca-
ton of ground and air crews, meth
cd of searching for lost planes, Gus
toms controls and minimum quality
Of aircraft. The last world attempt
Of that kind was written at Paris
in 1919.
U. S. Wants Early Start.
The third great issue is a method
for resuming airline operations be-
tween nations as quickly as possible.
The United States is eager to do
that, but some other countries,
among them Canada, are in no hurry
to start flying.
The technical proposals are four
fifths approved and the path has
been marked for bringing them to
completion next year.
The matter of flying now or as
soon as possible also is about set
tied. This plan will provide for an
agency to administer technical mat
tiers, the standards for operations
and proficiency, and to gather data
and exchange information.
The remnants of the original pro-
posals now are being welded into
one plan.
May Limit Schedules.
On the basis of information avail
able in various quarters it appears
that the plan will include:
Some measure of schedule limi-
tations-the number of daily. or
weekly flights over various routes.
A formula by which minimum
fares may be established at a level
designed to assure a reasonable
payment for the service given. This
will prevent rate wars and, it is
hoped, minimize subsidies or shar-
ing of the burden by Government
treasures.
An organization to supervise those
two propositions.
Routes will be left to determina-
ton by the people who want to fly
them through direct negotiations.
The principle Of the right of ma
tons to connect themselves by air
routes without encountering closed
air spaces will be set out in diplo-
matte terms,
