This is a somewhat softer
approach from his statement of
last January when he said his
groups first objective would be
to capture as many precinct
chairmanships as possible" The
announced executive committee

gomery Democrats, was formed

Those watching the situation
this week were wondering If
Hardy is not to optimistic

off the party take-over and he
may be backing water a bit, as
the election - and the moment
of truth - nears.

High Test
Standings

School board m e m b e r S
this week poked a critical
finger at the achievement
testing program conducted
in the public schools during
1928 and labelled 'inef-
fective" the results which
placed Montgomery County
school children from one to
20 months above the nation
al norm.
Although board examination
Tuesday of the testing program
conducted by DR.. James Morgan,
testing supervisor, disclosed that
students received a high per-
GENTLE rating on the California
Achievement Tests and students
were found to be superior to
the national norm in all SUBJ
ject areas measured, Board
member Everett H. Woodward
called he program ineffective"
because the national norm had
not been revised since 1857.
"What can we do with these
test scores if there's a posi-
bility that the national norm
has changed in six years ?"
Woodward asked DR.. Morgan.
DR.. Morgan pointed out that an
allowance would have to be
made of a one to two per cent
variance or change in the ma
tional norm. Il don't believe,
however, the change would be
substantial to make any differ
ence." DR.. Morgan added that
the producers of the specific
tests sample the national norm
only in five to six year periods.
Since the national norm
figures are six years old, Board
member William Saunders ques-
toned the actual rate of achieve
ment of students tested in last
years program. eff they don't
up-date the national norm each
year our figures don't mean
anything except that in 1863 we
are ahead of the national norm
for 1857"
DR.. Morgan said the purpose
of the rating data was first to
determine a general pattern, of
growth; areas in which the test
ing committee may expect i'm
provement; effectiveness of the
testing program; and what
areas of subject matter are be-
ing improved.
The tests can not be used as a
comparison on an accurate basis
and therefore, will be used pri-
marily to guide teachers in de-
termining a students capabili-
ties and for fhe staff to take a
diagnostic look at the achieve
ments Of students and how well
they perform, he explained.
Aligning his views win those
of DR.. Morgan, Boardmember
DR.. Clifford Beck advised that
the results of the tests would
serve to show overall improve
ment in the areas of testing in
this county"
Since the material provided
from the 1857 norm pattern diff
fers on a current basis, matched
area samples of test scores are
taken at yearly intervals. These
figures, have in the past COIN
cided with those sampled in
national testing.
DR.. Morgan asserted that new
data on the medium grade
equivalent scores in grades
three, five six and eight would
be available in February when
the national norm is again de-
termined.

chairs, toss pillows and
lamps. Walls and fireplace
are white, rug is beige, sofa
is a medium blue. Draperies
are a floral print in blue,
violet and green on a white

Within the Home
BY BETTY PEPIS
Stor Speeiol Writer

The decorative potential Of
jewelry is recognized by all
women. Few, however, realize
that 1t can also contribute a
. special sparkle to an interior.
One Of the most unusual
arrangements we have heard
Of lately was in the home Of
! Q Peruvian lady, who was a
collector of pre-Columbian
. art. One lamp table in her
! living room was draped to
the floor with a deep green
: velvet cloth. On 1t she had
arranged antique necklaces
and bracelets from this same
period. Made of curious beads
of coral, turquoise and gold,
they provided a delightfully."-
unexpected accent in the
room.
A New York decorator, lis
ing the same kind of jewelry,
attached a single long neck
lace and bracelet Of beads to
a black velvet background,
framed the whole in shadow
box fashion and covered 1t
with glass. 1t was then used
as part of an Arrangement of
off-beat items which in
cluded an old mirror, a

Answer: Yes, II you can
find one that has the same
colors and a plaid would be
preferable. Pillows could be
in plaid, too, with some
solid colors, say white and
beige. Lamps and shades
should be white.
Question: In the new house
we are building, we selected
gold for carpet in living
and adjoining dining room.
Walls will be off-white, an
open stairway has a black
wrought iron railing. Sofa
and chair are covered in a
natural color fabric. What
color do you think we need
for draperies and an extra
chair?
answer: rOr q mOQern look
which your house seems to
call for, have white textured
fabric for draperies. Chairs
could be gold and introduce
another color such as bitter
green for small chairs. Have
off-white lamps and toss pill
lows could be in plaid silk
in such colors as gold, white,
black and bitter green. A
plant arrangement of rich
green foliage would be nice
on a low platform placed in
front of the windows.

let directors at work anywhere
right now.
Unfortunately, the difficulties
confronting what would actu.
ally be a reunion seem almost
insurmountable. The Nationa
Ballet is the direct offspring Of
a sharp difference of opinion.
Several years ago Mr.. Frank
lin, longtime premier danseul
with the Ballet Russo, was
teaching at the Washington
School and working with Its
ballet. AS the ballet developed
so did his conviction that the
time was ripe and this was the
nucleus for a professional bal
let company in Washington.
Some agreed with him, others
did not. One of the latter was
Miss Day, who felt that the
company was not ready to
abandon its amateur standing,
that a switch to professional
ism should be gradual, if any,
thing - certainly not abrupt,
Mr.. Franklin departed.
Last year he returned with
solid financial backing, opened
his National Ballet School and
launched his professional Ma
tional Ballet. 1t gave an excit-
ing first performance on jan
uary 3.
Meanw lille, back at Miss
Days school, things were hap
pening. 1t became the first bal
let school in this country in
the old European tradition, an
educational institution provid-
ing a full academic curriculum
as well as dance training. And
Ballet Theater was brought in
to make its home at the school,
providing a professional goal
for the student dancers.
Three Sponsoring Groups
The gulf is wide, but it could
be bridged. In fact, bringing
the artistic principals together
again might be easier than get

groups to see eye-to-eye. There
are three of these.
The above mentioned Wash
ington Ballet Guild sponsors
the amateur Washington Bal
let and may or may not have
something to do with Ballet
Theater next season.
The Washington National
Ballet Foundation is a nom
profit corporation formed in
October, 1861, for the express
purpose of administering the
expanded Washington School OF
Ballet.
The National Ballet Society,
a completely separate organiza-
ton, sponsors the National
Ballet Co. and the National
Ballet School.

equal to the likelihood that

now the guilds primary con.

penses incurred during the past
season.
At the same time guild board
members are keeping in close
touch with the Ballet Theater
Foundation in the hope that
some plan can be devised for
continuing the guilds associa-
ton with the ballet company
next year. Every possible
scheme devised by the founda-
ton will be explored fully be-
fore a definite yes or no an
swer is given.
This probably will not be an
nounced until the guilds board
can examine and discuss
any projected plans at it's next
regular meeting in mid-May,
There is, it should be noted,
no detachable optimism in the
air - just wan hope.
Old Dream Revived
With the Ballet Guild-Bal-
let Theater union in jeopardy,
an old dream abandoned as
utterly hopeless is being revived
and talked about by some
Washington balletomanes. This
fantasy conjures up a happy
picture of close alliance be-
tween Frederic Franklin's Ma
tional Ballet Company and
Mary Days Washington School
of Ballet and its satellite Wash
ington Ballet.
It's a dream with much to
recommend it. Young dancers
could be trained in the school,

without dancers, or at least
without dancers of the calibre
desired.
When Lucia Chase, artistic
director of Ballet Theater, dis
cusSes the problem, she is quick
to point out that she is not
angry at anybody. The need
for funds to support the troupe,
however, is a blunt fact that
must be faced.
Before the Ballet Theater
came to Washington, these
funds were provided by the
Ballet The ter Foundation,
which also sponsors the Ballet
Theater School and the Ballet
Theater Workshop. The foun-
dation, headquartered In New
York, has been plagued by a
familiar ailment in the dance
world - chronic shortage of
ready cash - but it does have
a widespread fund-gathering
organization.
There are foundation chap
ters all across the country, Miss
Chase having opened a new
one whenever she ran across
an old school chum on h er
tours through the hinterlands
with the ballet. Unfortunately, :,
these sources have not bee n
tapped this season because the
agreement bringing the COM
pany here provided that Miss
Chase be freed from business
matters to concentrate on ar
tistic ones.
Miss Chase, whose tenacityI
has been a prime factor in
keeping Ballet Theater afloat
this long, has been with it
since its inception. She was a
leading dancer when it gave its
first performance at the Center
Theater in New York on jan
uary IL, 1910.
Vital Influence on the Dance
In 1945 she was appointed CO.
administrative director, with
Oliver Smith, and made a men,
Der of the artistic committee.
She has been instrumental in
making Ballet Theater truly
representative of ballet in
America. 1t has had its poor
seasons along with its good
ones, of course, artistically as
well as financially. Throughout
its % years, sthough. it has
been a vital influence on the
dance everywhere.
After being successfully
launched in New York, Ballet
Theater made brief forays out
of town - to Chicago in its
second season and Mexico in
its third. In its fourth season
L it made its first transcontinen-
tai tour. In its seventh,
shortly after the end of World
War II, the company went on
its first overseas jaunt, play
ing to capacity audiences in
London for eight-and-a-half
weeks at the Royal Opera
House, Covent Garden.
Since then the troupe has
toured abroad a number of
times, several times in recent
years under State Department.
auspices as part of the cultural
exchange program. 1t is the
only ballet company from this
country to have played in So
Wet Russia. 1t was before one
of these tours a few years ago
! that the name was expanded
and it became officially the /.
American Ballet Theater.
Like its native land, it has
been something of a melting
pot, for both dancers and Choir
eographers. 1t has provided op-
portunity for Americans to be-
come leading dancers without
adopting Russian names and
hiding their provincial origins.

His Own Beneficiary And He Collected

RICHMOND. Va. tR - A pleas ant old gentleman who still comes down to tend to the manufacturing business he helped founded nearly so years ago has become his own life insurance beneficiary and col lected.
 Eugene Wallace beat mortality table odds figured at about 100000 to 3 by attaining age 96 as insur- ance companies figure such things. Actually he'll be 96 on Oct. Is.
 There was an observance of the event Friday at the Indsor Farms home of his daughter. He thought it was nice of Howard Goldman, general agent of Northwestern Mutual Life, to bring him a couple of nice five-figure checks and read him letter of congratulations from the president of the company.
 But I've been a giver rather than a getter," said Wallace, who seemed to pay only passing at tention to the Sizable checks. The amount was not disclosed.
