FUND SOON READY $1,500,000,000 Estimated to Go in Construction—Wag- ner Bill May Pass. From two governmental sources word came today that the ultimate goal of the worker—continued and steady em- ployment—is almost in sight for many men. The President’s Unemployment Committee, headed by Col. Arthur ‘Woods, said that approximately a billion and a half dollars’ worth of construc- tion projects, exclusive of State and private projects, has been re] as ready to get under way. On the legislative slde Senator Wag- ner of New York predicted his bill, which would authorize an nppmpflltinn of $150,000,000 as a reserve fund for public works and would plan public works in advance, will be reported out early next week. Most of the disputed points of the measure which have held up an agreement have been ironed out 1n a series of conferences, Mr. Wagner The measure would provide for ublic construction so as to do as muc;\‘ of it as possible where there s little activity in private klduat? Col. Woods' committee reported that cities, counties and other minor political subdivisions have available approxi- mately $700,000,000 for public construc- THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C.

Btatute Aimed at “Scandal Sheets.” By the Assoclated Press. ST. PAUL, January 16.—Repeal of the Minnesota newspaper suppression law was proposed in a bill introduced yesterday by Senator George H. Lom- men, Eveleth, author of the measure. A companion repeal bill also was intro- duced in the House. ‘The law, enacted in 1925, was in- unded as & means of suppressing what measure termed “scandal sheets,” but it has been the object of attack by many reputable newspapers whose pub- lishers feared it would mean curbing freedom of the press. Senator Lommen - said the law had caused so much controversy that “I am willing to have it repealed.’ ENVOY IS 6PTIM|STIG Ambassador Edge Says “Darkest Age” of Economic Apathy Is P PARIS, January 16 (®), —vmwa States Ambassador Walter E. Edge tol the American Club of Paris yemm.y that America’s “darkest nomic apathy and stunned ertia was past. The Ambassador, who was guest of the club upon his return from the United States, said that the “dark ag followed “the most cataclysmic defis tion of security markets in our history. He added that it had been superseded by a period of courageous effort under the sclentific leadership of President Hoover and Federal and State officials. Mr. Edge said that he had no desire to deny that American business, in com- mon with world industry, was still ail- lnx,t‘ but he declared that the crisis was pas! 25 SATURDAY (remorow s MONDAY Milton R Ney only CASH SALE TEN YEARS =2 Women’'’s Dresses and Coats .« Men’s Suits—O’Coats and Topcoats AT COST AND UNDER COST!

Miss Scott, a young lady whose praises are yet to be sung, demonstrat- ed an lbllfl.y far beyond what her limit- ed experience woum lead one to expect. She possesses stage manner that creates a hvonble impression almost l.mmedhuly Her playing of such num- bers as Sammartini “Liebeslied” and Strm ‘An Einsamar Quelle” re- vealed a richness of tone and volume that was quite surprising. Outwardly calm herself, her music is, nevertheless, characterized by a bnunding spirit and zestfulness. She was accompanied by Marjorie Davis. Excellent footwork marked the per- formance of Miss Gutelius. Her use of the pedal was judicious, but not too much so. Scarlattl's “Sonata” (D Major), which necessitates the frequent use of cross-hand playing, was well executed. On the other hand, her playing of the Schubert “Polonaise” left much to be desired. Mr. Spille offered two types of songs, in one of which his singing was only fair. In the other it was excellent. His voice did not seem suited to ,such by ; “Una Furtiva Lagrima, v Donlzett( and “Traume,” by Wmtr but to such numbers as Forster's “The Joy of Living” and Del Riego's “Homing” it was well adapted. His singing of Oscar Fox's difficult “The Hills of Home” revealed his full capabilities more than any other number. Harriet Nash was the ac- companist. Schubert's “Serenade,” with Miss the chluuu- at the plano; Miss Scott on the violin and Mr. Spille as the tenor, completed the program. B. W. Harald mmr' lnd Yvonne Georgl gave a program of yesterday afternoon in Oo'nlflllluon Hall which delighted a large audience of dance en- thusiasts, . including the usual number of hostesses from official society of the Nlmnll Capital. Mr. Kreutzberg and i were assisted by Klaus Miss Georgl Billig, planist, who accompanied the 1 dances. The music was, for the most part, modern, the Variations of Mozart giving some reliet to the lovers of the classics. The two dancers were equally modern in interpretation. Their cos- tumes were colorful, making beautiful pictures against the black veivet screen | which transformed the platform of Constitution Hall into a stage. Miss Georgl is a lithe, slender figire | and has grace and freedom in her movements, though her carriage is not chool, which demands | ‘shoulders back nnd abdomen in.” She is an exponent of & more modern school which insists on realistic delineations. Her promyll of the tragic, in Wilckens’ “Kassandra” was almost too real, yet the gayety and carefree joy which she showed in Brahms’ “Festival Dance” was quite as true to life and much more pleasant. Mr. Kreutzberg has a similar ability for interpretation, with a lplendld con- trol of his muscles, poise, and & free and graceful moveément of the body. His first solo appearance was Wilckens' “‘Angel of Annunciation,” which brought forth much applause. Reger's “Jubi- late” in the same group aroused even more enthusiasm. After Reger's “The King's Dance” he responded to l’epeaud | recalls. The two dancers did many numberl together in which their work was mark- ed by precision, yet not lacking in free- dom and always graceful, even though figure of the dance was not con- FIRE AT FRENCH EMBASSY Attaches at the French embassy locked on calmly last night while fire- men quickly put out a chimney fire in their imposing structure at Sixteenth Harry C.
