Ballet Russo Ends
Successful Stay
With Popular Trio
Rv Hoyry Macarthur

The Ballet Russo de Monte
Carlo wound up a highly success
full three-day engagement at Con-
stitution Hall last night with a
program that provided a fair
cross-section of it's repertoire. The
evening opened in the old Fokine
classic manner with Les Syl-
phides," continued with another
of Massine's symphonic interpre-
tations, Rouge ct Noir," and con-
cluded with the gay, lively IA
vorite, "Gaite Parisienne.
At the risk of sounding varia-
ton on a familiar theme. it must
be said that Alexandra Danilova
again provided the high moment
of the night, this time in Cate" ."
The role of the glove seller in this
Massine work to the Jules Offen-
bach music is one she has made
particularly her own. 1t permits
her to show. in addition to her
dancing skill, a flair for the hu-
morous that some Of the colder
tempered ballerinas do not have.
Her pas de deux, with Frederic
Franklin, was done last night with
the combination of grace and ex-
citement that has made 1t q Bal
let Russo ticket-seller whenever
Cate" is announced.
Any one who happily remembers
Massine's version of the Peruvian
in "Gaite" has trouble accepting
any one else, but Michael Katch-
aroff did ably enough at this per-
formance by what is essentially a
slapstick role. Yvonne Chouteau

Congress Units TO Get Bill
Providing $40 Per Diem

A bill that would allow Federal
employees to collect as much a.
$40 a day when they travel OH
business and to increase the auto
mobile mileage allowance from S
to Z cents when cars are used is
expected to come before congress
sional committees next week.
Staff members of both the Sem
ate and House Expenditures Com
mittees and representatives of the
Budget Bureau and the General
Accounting Office conferred on
the measure yesterday. Govern
ment workers now get only $6 a
day for travel.
1t is proposed to cover all execu-
tive, legislative and judicial en-
ployes in one bill, thereby elimi-
mating conflicting laws. The

and Edwina Fontaine added
touches of beauty and brightness
The famed can-can. incidentally
seemed to slip at moments into
unaccustomed confusion, but on
that Constitution Hall platform
no ballet troupe could be blamed
for anything.
Rouge ct Noir" was. if any sort
of a triumph at all. a personal
one for the lovely and talented
Nathalie Krassovska. who has
moved from a secondary role to
the leading one in the near-de-
cade the work has been in the
repertoire. This is Massine's in
depreciation of Shostakovitch's IS
First Symphony" and it is far
superior example of this sort of
thing than his Seventh Sym
phony" of Beethoven. Here,
against a drab black curtain in
stead of Henri Matisse's original
backdrop, it is only half ballet,
of course. It may show too much
of the modern dance influence
to please the classicists, but Mas
sine's weaving and interlocking OF
moving blocks of solid colors is
interesting. The central role
danced by Miss Krassovska. is an
emotional one and she made 1t
quite effective last night.
LES Sylphides," having sur
vived since it was danced by Paw
Iowa, hardly is in need of further
comment. A ballet troupe would
scarcely dare to drop it from
the repertoire. 1t was danced
last night by Gertrude Tyven,
Ruthanna Boris, Yvonne Chouteau
and Roman Jasinsky and danced
quite satisfactorily. except that
Mr.. Jasinsky is no Danielian.
Paul Strauss conducted the Ma
tional Symphony Orchestra in the
first two numbers. the Chopin
sounding as if the musicians were
as familiar as they must be with
it and the Shostakovitch sounding
as if they didn't like it but would
at least try to make it sound
somewhat musical. Ivan Boutni-
koff led the orchestra through the
rousing Offenbach score in rous-
ing style.

New Hormones Discovered
To Shrink Some Cancers

NEW YORK. - The American
cancer society has. reported the
discovery Of two new hormone:
that can shrink certain types Of
cancer.
How long the %shrinkage may last
was unknown, nut these hormones
appear to have opened a new field
Of medicine.
The hormones are the same SEN
sational remedies that earlier were
discovered to give dramatic relief
to arthritis, govt and rheumatic
fever. They are cortisone and acth,
the first a product Of the adrenal
glands of the back. the second the
governor Of those glands.
The society said the cancer re-
port was made by Doctors o. H.
Pearson, L. p. Eliel, Rulon W.
Rawson, Konrad Dobriner and C..
P. Rhoads Of the Sloan-K ettering
institute and department of medi-
cine of memorial cancer center.
New York.
They said the cancers were not
cured and it remains to be seen
whether complete cures can be OBJ
tanned. Eight persons were given
the hormone. One with breast can
Ger and the other with cancer of
the prostate showed no visible i'm
provement.
The other six had lymphoid tu-
mors, which means cancers affect
ing the lymph glands in various
ways. The report said there was
dramatic and progressive decrease
in size Of all six. The decreases
were in enlarged lymph nodes and
spleens.
Four Of these had one of the
forms Of leukemia, known
as chronic Emphatic leukemia or
blood cancer. One had Hodgkins'
disease and the sixth a growth
as lymphosarcoma.
None Of the six were in dying
In two the cancers re-
manned shrunken for 10 weeks. In
the others the cancers started en-.
larging again, but showed signs
Of shrinking with a second course
Of hormones. This two-time good
fleet is unusual in cancer.

SIGHT RESTORATION
TV 'Sconnesr'
To Aid Blind

EVANSTON, ILL.-Restoration O
sight to the blind by replacing theil
eyes with a television 'scanner" j!
a project envisioned by a North
western university scientist. Thi:
"scanner' would be connected di
rectly with the brain.
The same system, with other de-
vices replacing the scanner. might
enable the deaf to hear and some
paralyzed persons to walk, the
professor said.
DR.. Wendell S. Krieg, As, who
spent the past five years in brain
research at Northwestern, said the
basic theories for the plan have
been well established, but that a
lot of work" remains to be done
before the system would be ready
for practical application.
Under his theory, electrical i'm
pulses, duplicating the normal
nerve impulses involved In sight
and hearing, could be conveyed to
the brain by a series of electrodes
distributed over the skull.
Can Activate Muscles
Since muscles can be made to
contract by direct electrical stimu-
~lation, "it should be possible to
place permanent electrodes at
motor points and activate the mus
cles whenever desired" he said.
ut is only a chronological step
to devise an appliance to scan the
visual field in the same manner
as a television scanner and to
transmit that which is seen and
recorded to the cortex Drain
covering) in the same sequence
and scanning pattern" he added.
To produce the sensation of
hearing. he said. "it would seem
possible to carry a series of ter
minals to the auditory area Of
the brain whereby separate tones
in different combinations and Sc
quences, could be applied"
He gave no estimate of how soon
a practical test could be made Of
his beliefs.
commenting on DR.. Krieg's fore
cast, DR.. Ephriam Roseman, neur-
at General Hospital, said no
one who is blind or deaf should be-
come unduly excited at the prospect
that he might regain his lost pow
erS any time soon.
Theoretically, the idea is pos
sible, but it is impracticable in
present limits of our knowl-
he asserted.
Making Dreams Possible
cit is possible by electrical stimu-
alton of the brain to make a per-
;on see, hear, or even dream.
CDR. Roseman said the electrical
current is applied directly to one
pot by a wire probing into the
'rain to obtain any of these effects.
I the electricity must be directed
nto the brain from outside, it
would spread, he said.
GA complication, he pointed out,
S that while one spot receives a
ensation from the eye, another
pot interprets that stimulation. In
Their words. n might "see an
bject through the brain center and
till not understand what it isl
Krieg's theSy is one Of the first
ttempts ever made to cure the
fleets of blindness and deafness by
y-passing the injured eyes or ears
nd carrying substitute electrical
impulses directly to the brain.
