Mossine Fears Nijinsky Tour
Might End Dancing Legend
BoIIet Master Says
u. S. Visit Would
Be DisiIIusioninu

One of the countrys leading
masters of the ballet last night
strongly opposed presenting S.
year-old Vaslav Nijinsky to Amer
ican ballet audiences again after
his 26 years of mental twilight"
Commenting on reports that Nj
jinsky-in his prime the worlds
greatest male dancer-had been in
vited to come to this country to
dance and that his wife had ac-
cepted for him, Leonide Massine
said he hoped the Government
wouldn't let Nijinsky inte the coun-
try If 1t meant he would be shown
off in cage"
"Nijinsky is a legend" Massine
said. 1T would be criminal to de-
stroy that legend. 1t would be ter
rifically disillusioning to everybody
to see him as he is now"
Massine, who is bringing his
BALLET Russo Highlights" to Con-
stitution Hall today under the
sponsorship of the Federal En-
ployes' Recreation Council, said he
had heard recently from NijinSky's
wife, Romula, through the Red
Cross and that she had made no
mention of the American visit.
Danced Together.
Nijinsky, he said, was already
the worlds greatest male dancer in
1915 when MasSine joined the
Diaghileff Ballet to become, ulti-
mately, Nijinsky's successor.
When we came to Paris on tour"
he recalled, ''he and 1 both took
lessons from an old ballet master.
I was only 16 then. The old master
corrected his positions just as he
did mine. I never forgot that de-
spite his greatness, Nijinsky took
the criticism.
Il had started to compose dances
then. When Nijinsky saw my Good
Humored Ladies' he said he would
like to dance it, which was quite
wonderful for me.
Then the company went to Spain
He was beginning to show very
strange signs of nervousness-a kind
of mania as if some one was per-
scouting him. Finally when we
got to Barcelona and it had been
announced that we were to per-
form there that night the news
suddenly came that Nijinsky had
gone to the station to catch
train.
Threatened With Arrest.
"Diaghileff became very upset.
He called the governor of the city
and the governor had the police stop
Nijinsky. They told him he would
either have to dance that night or
60 to Jail. He came back and
danced, but after this many things
happened and the next we knew
he was in a sanitarium in Switzer-
land"
Last August reports from abroad
quoted Mrs. Nijinsky as saying a
few months earlier that her hus-
band had broken his long silence
to laugh and dance with the Rus
SLAMS when the Red Army overran
a section close to the Hungarian
frontier where the Nijinskys had
sought refuge.
MasSine, who is such a perfec-
tionisS that he preferred to keep
his ballet company small because
all the best dancers are in the Army,
recalls the days when Nijinsky's
leaps were SO magnificent people
thought he was elevated by wires.

BUSINESSMEN AID
AGED HOME DRIVE

Tn cooperation with group of
local businessmen, campaign to
raise 100000 for the construction
of a new home for aged residents
of Wilmington, is being launched
nv the board of directors of the
Catherine Kennedy home, it was re-
vealed yesterday.
The proposed new structure is
a fire proof building of modern
design of approximate rs roms g
house aged men and women. The
Joint committees from the Cath
crime Kennedy home and the bust
nessnen's group will decide upon
the location of the home, and the
building fund will be kept in re-
serve until such time as conditions
are favorable for the construction
Of the new building.
The need for such facilities is
urgent since the Catherine Ken
nedy home is entirely inadequate
to fill present needs. There are
now 30 residents in the home, with
waiting list of ten, who cannot
be accommodated at this time.
The present building is antiquat-
ed and in bad need of repair. 1t
will be abandoned and sold when
the new structure is erected, those
interested in the new project said
The home is semi = char
table institution and to become a
life resident and receive the bene
fits of the home, an applicant has
to be a resident of the county fol
at least five years preceding the
application. The entrance fee is
$500 and the applicant should will

The sponsors Of the campaign
suggest that those desiring tt
make a donation of $1,000 or more
might designate their gift as

family; appropriate recognition
will be given by small bronze
plaques placed over the doors O

mobile owners who fail to purchase

stamps, was begun Monday it was
announced yesterday.
Many motorist not displaying the
stamp on their windsnields were
stopped by deputies from the Of

Collector and give cause why the
stamp had not been purchased.
Contrary to belief, the local In

penalty is invoked not for failure
to purchase the stamp, but for fail

of the Revenue act of 1941 requires
that the stamp be affixed to all au

ARMY WILL PROBE
WAR PRISON CASE

MANILA, July "a R The
three-year-old tragedy OF camp
O,Donneu prison was revived to
dav in new, melancholy light
Maj Gen. Basilio J. Valdese, chief
IT staff of the Philippine army
ordered an immediate investlga'
ton of reports that some Filipino
prisoners of the Japanese hoarceo
and profiteered at expense OF thelr
fellow captives.
Valdese told the Associated Press
he believed that no Americans
were involved, either as victims
or culprits.
At the end of the dolorous
march Of Death across Bataan
In 1912, 4 total of $4,000 Filipino
urasoners were confined in ODon.
~ prison.
Reports prompting the invest
cation asserted the mortality rate
was accelerated because a small
group of officers assertedly de
prived the men of food and medl'
cine.
Valdese received letter charg-
ing that staff officers boarded fo-
their own use footstuffs supplied
by the Japanese and sent into the
camp by civilians for the genera
welfare. It said that some doctors
obtained medicines sent in by
civilians and resold it to sick priS
oners who applied to them TO"
treatment.
One uuinine pill cost so cents.
Treatment assertedly was denied
when prisoners were unable to
purchase medicines.
Charges Obtained in letters
reaching Valdese also said Filipino
officers placed in authority by the
japanese beat and kicked other
prisoners.
Valdese said he had ordered COM
mander of all Philippine Army
camps to obtain testimony from
officers and men who survived i'm
prisonment and now are serving
in the army. He said it was not
known whether the principal Of
tenders also survived.
However, if the charges are prov
cd, Valdese said. they would b
sufficient for immediate court
martial of all involved.

in recent converse alton with

to whom recent appeals have been

remember a picturesque past
WHEN you think of Brooklyn. you usually
w think of the Brooklyn Dodgers, or the
Brooklyn Navy Yard, or maybe the famous
tree that grew in Brooklyn - but about the
last thing you'd think of is Indians Brooklyn
has its Indians, though - 800 of them
and they live a few blocks from the downtown
shopping district.
They don't build teepees or go about
whooping it up in feathers and war paint, but
they are all genuine Mohawks and speak their
native tongue as we'll as English. The men
are chiefly structural steelworkers. They
helped build the Empire State Building, Radio
City and countless other great structures in
New York. Today they are working in ship
yards, turning out craft for our fighting fleet
Where did they come from, and how do
they happen to be steelworkers? That's a
fascinating story in itself - but before
we go into it, let's get a picture of this
''Indian village in the heart of Brooklyn.
If you walked by yourself through the
uClSlILOiINO0, Will 10 lyPiSoi ioWo Vi iSd-
brick and brownstone apartment houses, you
would never guess that Indian families dwelt
all around you.

they're not at work, sit on the front steps

of the community, and asked for Rev David
M. Cory, you would find out all about the
Indians.

not an Indian himself, has been friend,
