Students of Negro Institution Will Appear Here May 4 In Varied Program. Weird, outlandish steps and movements to primitive African rhythms will constitute one of the feature, performances on the program of interpretive danc ing to be given here May 4 by the group of 51 Negro students from the Hampton Institute. This section of the program, included under the title "Afri can Dances," is made up of six separate pieces dealing with African life before the appear ance of the white slave traders on the shores of the dark conti nent. "Ya Ma Wisee" "Ya Ma Wisee'' enacts the story -of the visit of the God to the tribe. Two boys playing along the river are frightened by the awful sight of him and run away. Then all the people come and worship the God with song and dance. s Airican beggars travel m groups of two or three ; and when they come to a village, they stop and dance for the crowd that gathers to watch them. The Hampton dancers will perform a "Beggars'. Dance." WTedding Dance "Wyo Mamie" is the name of the dance performed on the night before the wedding of an African girl, on the occasion of her parents' giving their final consent to the marriage. When the witch doctor had satisfied a person who had been robbed by catching the thief and recovering the stolen article, he would show his joy and call at tention to his triumph by swing ing into the "Witch Doctor's Dance." Warriors' Warm-up On the eve of a battle war riors used to work up a martial frenzy by the wild "Wanda" dance. The group of Airican dances closes with "The Feast of Ram adan." This feast is a Moham medan ceremony introduced in to northwest Africa by Arabs. Dancing is part of the celebra- tion. ' The variety of their program is one of the most amazing things about the versatile Hampton dancers. For exam ple, immediately after this se ries of primitive dances comes a piece entitled "Designe Mod erne" and typical of some of the most polished modern art in dancing.

HOUSE IS LOYAL TO BLUE EAGLE Johnson Upholds Administra tion; Banking Act to Have New Deal Likeness. Washington, April 18. (tjP) The House of Representatives was given its first chance to vote on major New Deal legislation today and without a gag proved loyal to Roosevelt. It defeated the radical Town send and Lundeen plans and promised the President the kind of social security bill that he wants. It defeated the Town send plan 206 to 56, the Lun deen plan, 204 to 52. Old Age Pensions Leaders believe that today's action disposes of both schemes this session and paves the way for the passage of the adminis tration bill, virtually without a major change, late tomorrow or Monday. The administration bill provides for old age pensions in which the federal government will match the state pensions up to $15 per month per individ ual. The Senate debated farmers' home corporation legislation and received the Borah resolution to prevent the issuance of private and public foreign loans. Johnson Defends The finance committee heard General Hugh S. Johnson defend the NRA. Johnson lashed out at big business, sweatshops, New Deal critics, selfish inter ests, and rugged individualists. He. said that the destruction of recovery leads to the disastrous collapse of the profit system, communism, and revolution. Washington administration won a smashing victory tonight on the proposed banking act of 1935 when the House banking and currency committee agreed to, report it as a whole, leaving in the act advanced views of the liberal New Dealers. The measure will be formally reported out of the committee tomorrow, and a rule . will be sought to prevent it from being used as a target for inflationists and other proponents of drastic panaceas.
