22 RADIO EDUCATION SURVEY IS PLANNED Hoover to Be Asked to Name Fact-Finding Group, Con- ference Decides. BY MARTIN CODEL. President Hoover will shortly be asked by Secretary of the Interifor Ray Ly- man Wilbur to dppoint a fact-finding commission to study the possibilities of radio as a medium of education. Deci- sion to call upon the President to name such a commission was reached at a conference here yesterday of educators and chain broadcasters, meeting at the instance of Secretary Wilbur to discuss radio’s actual and potential function in teaching the young and old. Assurances of whole-hearted co-oper- ation were given by the network execu- tives after they had heard the educators varlously propose plans that ranged from merely supplementing public school teaching with educational radio rograms to the establishment of 2 gn\onu “super-university of the air.” The educators were agreed that such radio programs should be free from commercial advertising, but the problem of financial support for the several ambitious enterprises proposed was left| for the consideration of the commission. The matter of Federal policy of edu- cation, which is now administered by States and municipalities, rem be determined by President Hoover and his cabinet in the light of the develop- ment of radio. President Hoover will doubtless consider this aspect of the situation thoroughly before consenting to name the proposed commission. National Chains to Be Used. There was general agreement among the educators, who were_supported in their view by Chairman Ira E. Robin- son of the Federal Radio Commission, that the Bureau of Education of the Department of the Interior should be the intermediary between the radio classrooms and the listeners in the pub- lic school rooms or at home. It was the consensus also that existing broad- casting facilities, particularly the na- tional chains, should be utilized for the purposes suggested. The impossibility of establishing a new broadcasting structure on a national scale or within the States and devoted solely to educa- tion was made apparent when it was pointed out that sufficient wave lengths ‘Were physically unavailable. Secretary Wilbur called the confer- ence on radio education, he told those attending, out of the realization that “it seems inevitable that great use must be found for the radio in our public educational system.” As the for- ‘mer president of Leland Stanford Uni- versity, he discussed with some author- ity the theory of suditory education. Into this field of auditory education, he said, radio has new force. It can be education among the class of students. The promise of television, combining the visual with the auditory transmis- sion of_intelli , received considera- tion. Visual , however, is not yet out of the laboratory, and an appreciation of this fact was evinced among the educators. Urges Scientific Study. ST e o s o Wi e for onstrations,” said Secretary Wilbur, “even more uncertainty concerning just what will hapen in the future of our present evident. most is wfiflc best way in which o 1 in been uugl:fnetu “ear-minded” largely for entertainment and amuse- ment.

Commissioner Robinson precipitated a lively discussion when he questioned, for the sake of academic argument, ‘whether will ever be useful for elementary and college levels. John Elwood, vice the National Broadcasting this respect Suggested for Grades. William Paley, president of the Co- ‘lumbia Broadcasting Co., 8 ted that radio in the elementary gr: used for instruction through music, story telling, the dramatizatic tory and geography and lessons in spelling, pronunciation and vosabulary. Tribute to the existing broadcast system for its co-operation with educa- tion thus far was paid by Dr. J. W, Crabtree, president of the National Ed- ucation Association. He suggested that the Bureau of Education might direct the programs broadcast over existing national networks as a sort of supervis- devote some of their daylight hours to educational fromma free of charge, the matter of financing the more exten- sive use of their facilitles provoked some discussion. Commissioner Robin- son exnressed the conviction that the Federal Government can enforce the use of certain hours for education as a condition of license grant to stations. In the course of his remerks Judge Robinson declared his belief that “radio was born a crippled child, birthmarked by advertising, and it is the duty of all citizens to get rid of that deformity.” (Copyright, 1919, by North American Newspaper Alliance.)

MUSIC THE TCHERNIKOFF-GARDINER DANCERS. Paul Tchernikoff and Lisa Gardiner, two exponents of ‘the traditional ballet school of dancing in Washington, pre- sented the first of two programs for their Spring recital series at the Ward- man Park Theater last night. The second program will be given there to- night, beginning at 8:30 o'clock. Many of the numbers given will be the same as those last night, but there will be some features that are different. Particularly commendable last night were the facts that the program began at the time stated, was well managed, with only short waits at the spaced inter- missions, and with excellent speed and smoothness in following of each num- ber on the heels of its predecessor. The whole program was completed within two hours, The costumes were beauti- ful and artistic and, with the actual Yeflormmces, were of the high pro- lessional standard that these two dan- cers have established for their events. 1‘;: audience practically filled the the- ater. ‘The youngest soloist, Gloria Hill, who even a year ago attracted marked at- tention from her audience generally for the remarkable gift she showed, aroused spontaneous outbursts of applause dur- ing both her dances last night for the innate charm of the child, as well as her easy and sure command of the technique of the dances she per- formed.

Washington will provide the Columbia Broadcasting System with two of its major features tonight—the sixth national ocratorical contest and the weekly national radio forum arranged by _The Star. . With WMAL serving as the “key” station, these two events will be broad- cast to the Nation through a coast to coast network. The forum, how- ever, will begin an hour later than usual to permit the broadcasting of the oratorical contest. Senator Nye of North Dakota and Representative Box of Texas will be the forum speakers, and their discus- sions will concern the national origins clause of the immigration act, due to go into effect July 1, the suspension of which President Hoover has recom- mended. Senator Nye is author of the resolution to suspend or repeal the clause, and his talk will be in opposi- tion to it. Mr. Box, a Democratic member cof the House immigration com- mittee, will support national origins as the basis on which future immigration quotas shall be fixed. Oratorical Contest on Air. ‘The oratorical contest will be broad- cast from the Washington Auditorium, where eight finalists are to compete for the forensic championship of the United States. le the contest is scheduled to start at 8 o'clock, WMAL and other Columbia stations will not {.fi&k up the program until an hour ater. The weekly Temple of the Air pro- gram is another outstanding WMAL- Columbia attraction tonight. It will present Joseph Green and his novelty orchestra in a varied program. the specialty of which will be a marimba- phone solo, “Roses of Picardy.” In addition, WMAL hes scheduled a group of features originating in its own studio. Among them is a talk by Robert L. McKeever, chairman of the membership committee of the Wash- ington Chamber of Commerce. Musical Features on WRC. Musical features dominate the WRC program tonight. Outstanding among them are the weekly concert of the General Electric symwnony Orchestra, under the direction of Walter Damrosch. the Lucky Strike dance program, and a concert by the Salon Singers. There also will be a short recital by Rita Gould, popular songster, and an organ recital by Lew White. A song cycle “From a Sufl's Tent." arranged for four solo volces with chorus, will be the special offering of the Salon Singers. The dance program contains a mixture of past and pres- ent hits and a number of gay waltzes. Lew White has included in his pro- gram Chaminade’s “The Flatterer” and Liszt's “Liebestraum.” He will as- sisted by Mildred Hunt, contralto. Damrosch did not announce his pro- gram in advance. WOL's program is made up of its usual Saturday night features with concerts by the Silver String Revelers and the Castillians Orchestra as the headliners. A large group of WJSV's regular entertainers will provide its program ( which will at 7 o'clock and continue to midnight. i WOMAN IS ACCUSED IN DEATH PLOT TRIAL Witness Says Mrs. Wood Ordered Murder of Her Husband by Four Others. By the Associated Press. DETROIT, May 25.—Testimony that Mrs. Grace M. Wood ordered him to blackjack her husband, “throw him in the car, drive him out in the country and kill him there” was given yesterday by Cecil W. Holt, at the examination of Mrs. Wood on a charge of plotting against the life of her husband, Ralph A. Wood, Wyandotte real estate dealer. Holt, who was the first witness called against Mrs. Wood and her co-defend- ants, Willlam Thompson. and Taylor Plerce, said he entered into the plot with Mrs. Wood, Pierce, Thompson and the late Ambrose L. Hagerty obtain evidence against him. The plotters were ambushed outside ped | Wood's real estate office the night of go far in the profession it she continues as she has developed so far. Little Miss Plazza re- ceived an almost embarrassing lot of flowers, which she handled with the ace of a veteran while she did her ws “on the point.” Still & third small child who showed marked individuality and facile com- mand of her dance technique was little Frances Randes, who led the charming group of little girls in the balloon dance. Of the older students who had solo dances, Georgette Yerby showed a pro- fessional command of the graceful re- quirements of her two solos, being par- ticularly lovely in the Chopin waltz. Clayton Estes was a dainty dragonfly, Ann Vucinovich did a pizzicato number most attractively, and Alice Louise Hunter gave a gally animated rhythmic dance as an autumn leaf, Miss Gardiner gave two unusual dances, winning enthusiastic applause. She did “The Cat” to Debussy music, a number that first came to public atten- tlon generally when done by Angna En- ters, and a Spanish dance with artistic use of the castanets that recalled the similar dance of La Argentina. Miss Gardiner's footwork in the latter exact- ing number was especially admirable. Mr. Tchernikoff gave two solos, Harlequin and Marche, showing his usual facility in the steps and even more skill than customary in his long leaps across the stage. ‘There were several unusual and par- ticularly charming group numbers, among them being the Kate Greenaway dance, “Garden Party”; a Spanish re- glonal dance, “Jota Argonesa.” and the “Spiritual.” A delightful modern dance 9:00—Jack and Gene; Mansfield-Lee. 10:00—Hawaiians; organ and tenor. 11:00—Dance music hour. 12:00—Jack and Gene (30 minutes). 280.2—WTAM-WEAR Cleveland—1,070 6:00—Feature; orchestra; scores. 7:00--Hotel orchestra. 8:00—Hour from WEAF. 9:00—WTAM Merrymakers. 10:00—Variety program. 10:30—Dance and organ (2 hours). 398.8—WCX-WJIR Detroit—750 6:00—Hour of short features. 7:00—Same as WJZ (30 minutes). 8:30—Feature program. 9:00—WJZ hour. 10:00—Dance music. 10:30—News; Amos; dance. 11:00—Dance and organ (2 hours). 405.2—WSB Atlanta—740 ;;oo—snme as WIZ, 8:00—WEAF programs ( 11:45—WSB Skylark. 277.6—~WBT Charlotte—1,080 6:30—Studio music. 7:00—Studio program; scores. 7:30—Studio feature. 8:00—~WEAF (2 hours). 10:00—~WOW String Band. 258.5~WWVA Wheeling—1,160 2:00—Matinee program. 10‘00'Mounm?eer Club, was done with exceptional grace and charm by Katherine Mullowney and Floyd Johnson, ‘The youthful dancers who contrib- uted so definitely in their excellent “team-work” to the charm of the en- sembles were: dancers, Julie Harper, Violette Davila, Charlotte Wal- ton, Barbara Thal, Jean Wheatley, Les- lie Shafer, Cornelia Jones, Zorena Renoe, Nancy Stover and Theodore Stover; older children, Yolanda Alfaro, Jane Davis, Frances Randes, Alice Canter, Mona Laurent, Signe Ashe, Amelita Al- faro, Patricia King, Leslie Smith, Una Ralph, Christine Stewart, Peggy Stahl, Molly Schwartz, Betty Salm, Shirley Shafer, Ruth Rusch, Elizabeth Randes, Clara 'Langmack, Raye Rogers, Jane Dunscombe, Ruth Chase, Helen Clark, Catherine Edmonton, Tahminah Irani, Luz Davila, Betty Nicholson, Frances Smiler, Elizabeth Brandes, Gertrude Sherman, Dorothy Wood, Lillian King, Jane Kellond and Pearl Miller.

By the Associated Press. AURORA, IIl., May 25.—Reopening of the grand jury investigation into the siaying of Mrs. Lillian De King in a dry raid last March loomed today as the State legislative inquiry into the shoot- ing neared an end. ‘Testimony of witnesses before the leg- islative committee yesterday disclosed that facts described as “material” were not brought out at the grand jury in- quiry. David Flynn, Geneva, Ill, busi- ness man and a‘grand juror, testified that some of the jurors had wanted to make a report criticizing the prosecu- tion of the De King investigation, but refrained on the advice of Circuit Judge John K. Newhall. The likelihood of reopening the grand jury investigation became more pro- nounced when Chairman Frederick W. Rennick of the legislative committee ad- vised Albert J. Kelley, attorney for the De King family, to petition for the ap- pointment of a special prosecutor to conduct a new investigation. ELOPEMENT ANNOUNCED.

Apartment Once Used by Mussolini Jumps 6 Times in Rent Price An exnmrle of the increase of rents in Italy within the past 15 years received considerable public notice recently when a merchant of Milan found he was occupy- ing the apartment in which Benito Mussolini had lived in 1914, The strong man of Italy had paid about $90 yearly rent while the present tenant found himself paying six times as much. He asked for relief from the courts and received it. His rent was reduced to 1,800 lire, or only four times what the dictator had paid wh he was just a private citizen of Milan. The court permitted that figure in recognition of the economic changes which have come since the beginning of the World War. ESCAPE FIRE ON SHIP.
