RUST COMPANY 1001 15th St. NA. 8100 Member Washington Real Estate Board | | ENGINEERS SURVEY 10 HELP JOBLESS Committees in 26 States Co- operate With Public Works Section. Committees of the American Engi- | neering Council in 26 States and the District of Columbia are co-operating with the public works section of the | President’s Organization on Unemploy- ment Relief in a survey of 1932 public works projects, it is announced by the council. The American Institute of Ar- | chitects and the Associated General Contractors of America also afe par- ticipating, “This work has three important phases,” said L. W. Wallace, executive secretary of the Engineering Council “The first is the collection and dissem- ination of the information relative to all planned public and semi-public work projects for 1932; the second is to check up on the progress being made: the third, and most important, is the st ulation and promotion of such of the: planned projects as are delayed or postponed for any reason.” R. W. Prince Chairman. State committees are directing ac- tivities on behalf of the Engineering Council. R. W. Prince, chief engineer of the Chesapeake & Potomac Tele- phone Co., is chairman of the District of Columbia committee and Dean E. B Norris of the Virginia Polytechnic In- stitute is chairman of the Virginia committee. “There has been a great deal of dis- | appointment because Federal construc- tion has not relieved unemployment to the degree anticipated,” the Engineer- ing Council’s announcement declared “This situation has been _thoroughly studled by the American Engineering Council, and it is convinced that pub- lic works can never be made as eflect- | ive a factor as they might be in reliev- ing unemployment until there is estab- lished an administration of public | works or its equivalent. “The work is now so scattered, and there is such divided responsibility, that there is no means of adequately regimenting public works to make it immediately effective in times of emer- gency. Under a central authority pub- lic works can be made a potent influ- ence in relieving unemployment. Grouping Urged. “The American Engineering Council, | which represents 60,000 professional engineers, in common with virtually all the engineering and allied technical societies of the United States, strongly urges the grouping of the architectural engineering and construction functions of the Federal Government into one es- tablishment. “The important thing is to bring these functions under a central au- thority. It is not of paramount im- portance whether the grouping shall be placed in an existing department, as : the Department of the Interior, or in | an independent establishment, as an Administration of Public Works. How- ever, in view of the conception ex- pressed herein it would seem that an independent establishment would be preferable.” CUP WON PERMANENTLY ‘Winston-Salem Awarded National Real Estate Board Prize.

NE of the major blessings derived from Mr. Kindler's National Symphony Or- chest has been the a pearance before the public of some new, young, gifted musical blood. Proof of this was amply pro- ded last night by the Washington String Quartet, a recently incor- porated group, which plays with all the airs and graces of veteran ~artists, and which gave evidence of tal- ents far re- moved from the ordinary. Mr. Kindler" famed “‘bravo! which cne may hear at the cli- max of any dis- tingushed pro- gram nttended by him. would have sounded 3 vargo. high and wide Georee Waree: i he could have been present. His young proteges ¢id him more than proud, and the enthusiastic audience of music lovers present rewarded them with such applause as would have gladdened the hearts of the oldest and trust- jest quartet. Messrs. Schwartz, Brightenburg, Wargo and Hamer, in fact, may be said to have introduced their new quartet to an eager public Wit tremendous success. First to be remarked in their play- {ng is the roundness of tone, and the sweetness of tone which they can muster up in the midst of their most difficult_technical sequences. They have not only complete command of the music before them. but they play it with relish, imagination and a remarkably graceful insight. And, too, they are admirably suited one to another. While it is obvious that they have rehearsed long and faith- fully, there is nothing ultrastudious in their manner of rendition. Noth- ing last night seemed labored. It was all distinguished music played with extreme reverence, and at the same time retaining a kind of youth- ful exuberance and personal and spontaneity which so man; eran quartets lack. The program included the Haydn “Quartet, D Minor,” Mary Howe's Little Fugue,” George Wargo's inter- esting transcription of Tschaikowsky's “Russian Dance,” the Ippolitoff- Iwanow “Quartel, A Minor” and as an encore “The Mill” by Raff. In all of these there was merit and in mest a streak of inspiration. The familiar Andante from the Haydn Quarfet was particularly smooth (even with Mr. Wargo's broken string); Mrs. Howe's rich and in- BEST BUY N.E.

North 0962 tricately fashioned Fugue was done full justice to, and the Tschaikowsky- Wargo Russian Dance was quite as splendid as it was said to have been in its initial rendition. It remained, however, for the last to be the best—since those who are not over-familiar with the Ippolitoff- Iwanoff Quartet are apt to’ forget what interestipg music it is. One of the most palatable of modern quartet works, the Washingtonians undertook it with tremendous vigor, implanting not only a warmth of tone into the first Lento movement, but lightening it up with extraor- dinary effects when it came to the allegretto movement. They ended it, too, in a real splash of glory—prov- ing that they never once had either started out of time or stopped out of time. Their playing, in fact, may be said from firsi to last to have been not only a skilled plece of work, but also thoroughly profound. Their recently inaugurated career should be long and lustrous. More power to them! E. de S. MELCHER. Legend-Song Recital _ At American University. AN interesting program of Indian {Ajegend and song was given Friday morning at the American University chapel on the campus, and was enthusiastically received by both faculty and students. Kuruks Pahitu and Tsu-pirit Resaru were very attractively dressed in native costume. Peaceful Bear (Ralph Allen) wore the war bonnet of his great - grandfather, White Eagle. . This bonnet is much honored by the old chieftain's family, because it has never known defeat. As all the songs and legends are authentic, the program had distinct cultural value in folklore. Ralph Allen is the only Pawnee with permission to use tribal songs and legends in public performance.

REDUCTION IN LUMBER STOCKS IS RECOMMENDED By the Associated Press. The Federal Timber Conservation | David B. Smith. The new owners ex-| Board recommends that stocks of lumber in the United States be reduced 3,500,000,000 feet during the year. Stocks on April 1 were estimated to have been 10,197.000,000 board feet, a reduction of about 750,000.000 feet during the first quarter. The board found that mills generally have been operating on irregular schedules for many months. Stocks are badly assorted in many sections. But these factors, the board said, should not be allowed to obscure the vital need of reducing the national lumber surplus to avert further continuous decline in price. The bulk of lumber stocks are in the pos- session of the large mills. The board reports that lumber con- sumption has declined to an average annual consumption of about 20,000.- 000.000 feet duting the 24 months ended March 31 last, as compared with 37.- 000,000,000 feet in 1928: that the present rate of consumption is less than 13,000.000.000 feet annually, and that there is no indication of a return cf lumber consumption to the levels pre- vailing in 1928 and 1929.
