A6 ADVANCE PLANNING IS GIVEN APPROVAL Public Works Proposal of Col. Sawyer Commended by Dis- trict Commissioqers. Long range planning of public works | 4 the Capital is entirely fensible and .nas been so demonstrated, Col. D. H. Sawyer, director of the Federal Employ- ment Stabilization Board, says in & publication entitled, “Advance Planning of Public Works in the District of Co- lumbia,” just printed by the Govern- msnt Printing Office. In a foreward, the thrce District Commissioners say: “We are glad to support the program of advance plan- ning of public works and advocate its adoption by other cities.” Col. Sawyer appeared recently before the National Capital Park and Plan- ning Commission and presented a digest | of the publicat.on just released, and ' now he Co-ordinating Committee, comprising interested Federal and Dis- trict Government agencies, is at work, in an attempt to ascertain ways and means to make this morc profitable here. Benefits Are Found. Dr. L. H. Reichelderfer, Maj. Gen. H. B. Crosby and Maj. J. C. Gotwals, ihe three Commissioners, explain: “For | more than a decade, the District has | studied and to somz extent forecast its physical requirements several years ahead. The benefits accruirg from this new conception of advance planning has more than justified its iniroduction. “With this impetus it has n-t been ! difficult for the bureaus of ti “nici- pal government of Washins oa tc con- | form to the stipulations of the Federal | employment stabilization act. The ad- vantages resulting from this new pro- cedure are not yet fully appreciated, but the studies thus far inaugurated predict new methods in administration that will prove superior to those here- tofore in vogue. “We are giad to support the program of advance planning of public works and advocate its adoption by other cities. While many new adventures in public business contemplate financial outlays and disruption of established departments, this service fits nicely into the ordinary routine and invoives negli- gible expense. If properly supported by administrative ofticials and the pub- lic, it holds rare possibilities, an out- standing one being the assurance of re- establishing the credit of American municipalities.” Advantages Discussed. ‘The publication discusses the advan- tages of advance planning in general, goes into a history of the growth of the develepm: of Washington, ex- plains the government of the city and its fiscal affairs. points out the trends to be considered in planning and pre- €ents @ wealth of graphs and charts, illustrating various stages of growth here, both physical and financial, ‘The bulletin s: “The City cf Washington has been an inspiration and an example for others | of the ccuntry, due to the genius dis- played in its early design and the gener- Music and Musicians Reviews and News of Capital's pro‘gramn. estra _and Arturo velt, whou :ls greeted with a prolonged ova- tion, every phase of official life was presented and every type of music lover was there o as- sist at this con- cert which was marked by greatness of the program, fits execution and linger long in the memory as one in which the sheer loveliness of music was made evident in as nearly per- fect a manner aspossible.

Notwithstanding the marvelous beauty of Wagner. It was the “Erocia” symphony of Beethoven, the man who ever remained Wag- ner's hero, that dominated the pro- gram. Its length is nevertheless too short when its wealth of ideas is un- folded by Toscanini. The sublimity of thought which is closed in such lofty style, the nervous vitslity that glows threughout and the poetry of enotion which it represents, grips mHE Burt new Men’s Shoes for Spring reflect the trend of the times—a low- and holds one enthralled. The unity of idea and the consistency of its de- velcpment make this symphony one of the most impressive ever written. With & sharp T nearest music stand, Toccanini electrified the orchestra to attention and then proceeded to manipulate it to ex- press each small phrese with loving care. Sternly adhering to a definite tempo with his right hand. he used- his left to weave, to coa: and to insrire his musicians to give of their best. Perhaps the secret of Tos- canini’s success is the fact that the f«un’ the music is so alive within himself. The particular lilt of each measure finds him already experi- cncing its individual color and his M‘Mumifva developed crescendos begin with the tiny beat at the end of his baton, pass through his arms and invade his entire person until he is the crescendo personified. From an overwhelming fortissimo, he can instantly drop to a hardly breathing tone and from the quantity of material extract one melodic phrase to give its beauty inence, The pulsing life of con brio,” so descriptive of energy and enthusiasm, and the “Marcia funebre,” where the sadness of death carries a trimphant note, were played with emotion that gained poignancy through their very exact- ness. In the Scherzo, Toscanini in- fused a humor and gaity that em- phasized the strictly national char- acter of this movement yet had its link with the sadness of earthly death and apotheosis of the grandiose finale. There was applause that could not be restrained between the movements and more and more after the final movement yet the sentiment remaining could not be given expres- sion by mere clapping of hands. Toscanini as an inf T of Wagner's music dramas and partic- ularly of “Tristan and Isolde,” ranks supreme. In selecting the Paris version of the ‘“Overture and Bacchanale” from “Tannhauser,” he had the richer orchestration and flery effects that are magnificent orchestra material. However, the simpler beauty of the well known themes seem overshadowed in the riot of the Bacchanale, which even Toscanini seemed to feel of the greater importance. In the prelude and finale from ting slavish following of musical mark- ings, but & and composer stood though awaking from a spell, the audience broke into applause which t'h.: renewed mol;), ‘:'nd again whel; MNIHC’ expression of the enthusiasm of the listeners was epparent. peatedly to bow and so, on ah in- spired note, the long association of the New York Philharmonic Orches- tra and the Washington public was severed.

By the Associated Press. LOS ANGELES, March 8.—The Angeles Superior Court was asked yes- terday to declare valid the marriage of Boots Mallory, motion picture actress, and Charles R. Bennett, musician. A petition for declaratory relief, filed by Bennett, said he was informed whi'e on & business trip to New York that his wife, a 1933 “Wampas baby star” se- lection, was instituting a Mexican divorce suit and that he had advised her he would contest the proceeding. ‘The petition sald they were married at New York August 15, 1928, when she was 16 years old, and tMat he under- stood the legality of the ceremony might be questioned, on the ground that she was not of legal age at the time. He claimed they lived together in Hollywood from July, 1932, to February 8, 1933, and that when he left for New Yok she gave him a photograph of herself affectionately signed “To Bebe, with all my love—Boots.” EISEMAN’S Seventh & F Sts.

It is the most prominent example of an ! American community where rare judg- ' ment was displayed in establishing a broad gauge pattern in the beginning, ! and, fortunately, tenaciously adhered to In subsequent years.” The report sets it down that: “The ! scientific advance planning of public | works by municipalities necessitates s | thorough knowledge of the financial | 2ffairs of the community. The collec- tion of revenue through various chan- nels by administrative officials, with 10 studied conception of the disburse- ment of these funds, cannot be ac- cepted as wise procedure. Neither can the cxpenditures of public funds for physical enterprises without analysis as to their fitness and necessity to the community, or without relation to financial resourfes, be sustained as Judicious practice. Essential Elements Here. “The fiscal affairs of a city adminis- tration and the consideration and in- auguration of public works are essen- tial elements of the public business and should not be separated. They should be jointly treated as integral parts of a composite program. Failure to recognize this basic principle is re- sponsible for some of the financial '}}:’r:dlclps facing many communities should be noted at the start that the finances of this political entity are novel in public administration, and find * no counterpart elsewhere in the United States. The underlying reason for this is the presence of the United States Capitol within the boundaries of the District and the intrusting of legisla- tion to the Congress.” i . ‘TELEGRAPHIC’ HORSE ? < SHOW TO BE HELD Ou O 1 e er O-n- Second Annual Competition Friday / Between Officers of Mili- tary Posts, f Bre Tosuls wil b Aashed by oo : o the other show rings and an corta: : e i : &:‘;rx;lnute score posted before the spec- The Fort Myer team trio will consist of Col.
