WOMEN ARE-URGED | C TITBEFRIENIJ YOUTH| Speaker at Federation Con- vention Pleads for “Bug Sister” Service. By the Associated Press. ATLANTIC CITY, June 4.—Conse- crated individual service alone can meet the dangers of adolescence, Charles Brandon Booth, son of Maude Bajlington Booth, today told members of the General Federatisn of Women's Clubs. “The only thing wrong with the chil- dren of America. is that they are lone- somé—lonesome for you,” he declared in portraying the need for extension of big brother and big sister service. The opinion, frequently expressed outside the convention, that two weeks was too long for a biennial ses- slon was discussed today_ by Mrs. Grace Morrison Poole of Massachu- setts, chairman of the program com- mittee. Her announcement that there was an almost universal opinion that the program of this blennial had oc- cupled too many days was greeted with applause Book Rate Study Delayed. “We all agree that the convention should be shortened,” said Mrs. John 1. Sherman, president. A resolution regretting discrimina- tion against books in, -the present postal laws was laid over, when the question of insurability of books, it they were sent at newspaper rates, was rai ““There. too much news and too little knowledge,” sald Mrs. S. W Grier of Pittsburgh in nd\nca.llns the resolution. Resolutions adopted asked for ex tengjon of the Shepherd-Towner act forigwo vears instead of one, as con templated in a Senate amendment to & House bill, and approved retirement of disabled emergency Army officers who met disability in the line of mili tary duty in the World War. Scoffs at Referendum. The women of the country do not fear a dry referendum. in the opinion of Mrs. Sherman The convention has_placed 3,000,000 women on record as “ynequivocally supporting the eighteenth amendment and the Vol stead act,” and opposed to any modi- fication. ““This convention will, I am confi- dent, send the women home to work harder than ever for law enforce- ment,” said Mrs. Sherman, in enumer- ating the convention’s achievements. “If there should be a national refe- rendum, and the women would not fear one, the enforcement campaign ‘would be waged by every individual club in the country. Today, the last of the convention, is dedicated to “The American Home D partment,” the keynote of the gath- ering. MRS. WILLEBRANDT DEFENDED. Women's Club Federation Told She Did Not Use Organization. BY CORINNE FRAZIER. Staft Correspondent pf The Star. ATLANTIC CITY. June 4.—Accusa- tions made against Mabel Walker Willebrandt. United States Assistant Attorney General, in the recent hear- ing before the House committee on appropriations to the effect that she was attempting to influence Congress by using the General Federation of Women'siClubs for propaganda in con- nection with appropriation for Mederal prisons were vigorously denied Julia K. Jaffray, chairman of the divi- sion of problems of delinquency before the general session of the biennial yesterday afternoon. n the contrary,” said Miss Jaf- fray, “Mrs. W illebrandt- on more than one occasion had gone definitely out of her way to avoid raising the ques- tion of whether the federation should bring its support for these appropria- tions or not. She even refrained from notifying me of the hearings before the congressional committee which was considering the appropriation for the Federal prison for women at Al- derson, W. Va.. and had the matter presented from the Department of J tice itself.” Refrains From Speaking. Miss Jaftray declared that she swas presenting these facts before the con vention. not only as a report which she was duty bound to make, but also as an explanation of why Mrs. Wille brandt would not address the conven- tion as she was scheduled to do. Miss Jaftray preceded her defense of Mrs. Willebrandt by the reading of a telegram just received from the Department of Justice official regret- ting_her absence and explaining her inabllity to fulfill her engagement. The substance of the message was as follows: “Regret inability to speak on women's prisons. Appropriation not yet passed. Amything I say be- fore passage would be premature.” Approves Appropriation Bill. Miss Jaffray indicated during the course of her remarks that the General Federation had stood and would continue to stand firmly be- hind the proposed appropriations bill without requiring impetus from any IGNATZ MOSCICKI, Inaugurated ehl::d executive of Poland ay. “l wish to take this oppor- tunity to say publicly, with your-ap- proval,” she asserted, “that should there be a hearing in the Senate upon these appropriations the General Fed- eration of Women's Clubs will expect 1o be present and to continue its policy of supporting this movement, which, among others, is especially the the women of this soul responsibility of m originated at an ap- propriation committee hearing of Con- gress on an additional $1,700,000 for the projected Federal prison at Alder- son, for which an initial appropria- tion of $900,000 was authorized. The increase would provide for 300 more woinen prisoners than the 200 cared for in the original appropriation. It was voted unanimously by convention to send Mrs. Willebrandt a message of appreciation for her valuable work in prison reform. Mina Van Winkle, chief of the Women's Police Bureau of Washing- ton, addressed the delegates briefly yesterday afternoon on the work of policewomen. “Our primary duty is to safeguard children and protect wome id Mrs. Van Winkle. “For this work we need trained, educated women of the highest intelligence and character. The policewoman is your agent. he is the entering wedge to a socialized palice department, by which I mean a department which will work constructively toward the rehabilitation of prisoners and not merely as the ‘stronk arm of the law." Speak on Delinquency. Following the afternoon session Mrs. Van Winkle and Miss Helen D. Pigeon, also from the Washington bu- reau, spoke before a conference of clubwomen interested in lems of delinquency. Miss Van Winkle éxplained that the clubwomen could do a great deal to encourage the establishment of per- manent women's bureaus by building up interest in their own States in a movement to establish these bureaus, by adts of their State legislatures, and by encouraging action on the Fed- eral bill to establish such a bureau by an act of Congress in Washington. Citing the fact that the federation had indorsed the principles of this bill at West Baden, Mrs. Van Winkle declared that it was especially im- portant to have this act passéd, as many of the cities weré waliting for the Capital to lead the w and once Congress had officially approved a women’'s bureau there, the others would hasten to ask the same action from their State legislatures. Miss Pigeon told what had been acomplished in some. of the women's bureaus in & Louis, Boston "and other large cities. She sald she found that the greatest menace to the suc- cess of the bureaus in any city was the failure of the ‘“higher ups” to realize the necessity of appointing trained workers to the positions. “They are prone to think that ap- pointing a woman is all that is neces- sary,” said Miss Pigeon. Will Get Degree. Mrs. Van W mkle is en route to New Brunswick, where she will re- ceive the hnnol degree of Master of Philosophy from the New Jersey State College of Women at their com- mencement tomorrow night. ,The de- gree will be conferred upon her *‘for opening o educated and trained wom- en a new field of effort which has proved to be of great meri District of Columbia “delegates for- mally adopted the song, *Washington, My Washington” by William T. Piler- son, as the official anthem of their federation. It was sung by them during the choral hour at the conven- tion yesterday morning. Mrs. Redwood Vandergrift enter- talned at dinner for members of the local delegation last night. Among the guests were M Eugene Pitcher, general federation director from the Capital, Mrs. Virginia White Speel, District president, Mrs. Edgar B. Meritt, wife of the assistant commis- sioner of Indian Affairs, and first vice president of the local organization; Mrs. Harriet Hawley Locher and Mrs. Augustus A.

Hundreds of millions of dollars lost there and else- wrhere are reflected in diminished re. ’ let-’.

He feels that the butlding program of $165,000,000 may ha to be extended particu- larly - to ve money in rentals, for he has evidence that the.Govern- ment is spending much money on leases which could be better in- vested in structures that the Gov- ernment would own. This and other things for which Congress may ‘want to appropriate money will have a bearing on the size of the budgel needed for the fiscal year beginning in July, 1927.
