WorId-Fomed BoIIerino
Appears Here Tonight

Alicia Markova, world-re-

first started taking dancing
lessons without any thought of
making a career out of dancing.
1T was to strengthen my
legs" she says. II had fallen
arches"
And in an almost matter-of-
fact tone the British-born Miss
Markova adds, But then I
discovered I had great talent. "
Miss Markova, in town to
dance with the Washington
Ballet Company tonight at Con-
|stitution Hall, is proud that she
was the first non-Russian to
dance a full-length classical
ballet.
II proved that a person can
be a great dancer without be-
ing a Russian" she says
though the popular notion was
so much to the contrary when
she joined the Diaghileff Bal
let company in 1925 that she
changed her name from Marks
to Markova.

been the greatest thrill in 80
years of dancing. she says.
Miss Markova is in this coun-

port to the ballet companies
which have grown up here in
Washington and in Tulsa, Okla.
These will be her only two per-
formanceS in this country.
She agrees with many others
that the Washington company
is one Of the finest in the Ma

Educators Hear
Mrs. Meyer Talk

BALTIMORE, April 4 (AP).
Mrs. Agnes Meyer, author
end lecturer, last night said
the Nation needs a new and
much broader concept of
education.
1t should reach the adult
population as well as children,
she said, for this is the only
answer ! can see to the social,
mental, and emotional chaos
in which we live"
The nursery school should be
a public responsibility because
the ages 3 to 6 are the most
crucial in forming human char
acter, said Mrs. Meyer. who is
the wife of Eugene Meyer,
chairman Of the board Of the
Washington Post.
She also suggested lengthen-
ing the school day and year.
This would tend to counterfeit
the negative influence OF the
social environment" during
leisure hours.
The extended sessions would
also enable adults to get more
education in these times Of
critical decisions, Mrs. Meyer
said.
She made her remarks at a
conference on the Dimensions
Of Education" held on the
Johns Hopkins University cam
pus. The conference continues
through tomorrow and is de-
signed to explore a variety Of
icurrent educational problems

Zonine
Appealed

Five South Arlington property
owners yesterday filed an appeal
with the County Board protest.
ing issuance of a coming vari-
ance which would allow con-
struction of three 12-story Office
buildings near the Pentagon.
The variance was granted
March 10 by the Board of Zon-

by the developers of the "Pen-
tagon City" project on South
Army-Navy drive.
The developers, Morris Cafritz

granted permission to increase
the height limit As feet above

coming ordinance. This raised
the limit from eight stories 70
feet high to IL stories 100 feet

dure, an appeal from a coming
boards action may be filed by
five citizens. The five protest.
ing the March 10 action are

jr.. Jean E. Hooper and Philip

They said they believe "that
the granting of the requested
variance is contrary to the
public interest"
They also said the zoning
Board has exceeded its author
ity by establishing "a policy re-
garding development of the
perimeter of Arlington ada
cent to Washington which is
not in accord with the best in
terests of Arlington County and
development of the Virginia
approach to the National Capt.
tai"
The protest further stated
that "a policy of such para
mount importance should be
established by the duly elected
