A2 - TWOBODIES O [MOTHER EXPLAINS | 111, RELIEF DRIVE Public Welfare Officials and " Family Welfare Asso- ciation in Move. Expanding the national relief cam- against unemployment hardships | next Winter, the President’s Emergency | Committee for Employment mustered two more national welfere associations into the program today. The American Association of PBublic Welfare officials and the Family Wel- fare Association of America, the latter ith contacts in 400 cities, will join with ‘the - Association of Community Chests and Councils in raising funds and ‘otherwise moving to avert distress, it was announced.® It was disclosed last Saturday that the Community Chests ‘were to take part, under administration auspices, in a $90,000,000 campaign in the Fall, during which 370 cities would carry on simultaneous drives to raise “unds for their local relief purposes. ‘The associations which have now been Jdinked with the efforts of the Commu- “nity Chests will promate the organiza- tion of local social and economic re- ‘sources and adoption of standards of ‘administration of relief. Both the pub- lic welfare officials and the Family Re- lief Association will devote their efforts ‘particularly to the small communities of than 25,000 population where the Community Chests do not function. Plan of Relief Work. In carrying out relief work in this fleld the two associations will take the place of the American Red Cross, which originally slated to participate in the campaign with the Community Chests. The Red Cross, however, found that it would be contrary to its policy to take part in any campaign other than occasioned by some natural disaster. Fred C. Croxton, acting chairman of the President's Emergency Committee, in his announcemgnt today emphasized the fact that umemployment needs would be met through locally provided funds, locally administered. even though the general program will be on & national scale. He also stressed the 't that although a business upturn may be in progress, there will be a hangover of unemployment next Winter, He said in part: “The President’s| Emergency Committee for Employment | realizes whatever the trend of business during the balance of the year. the de- mand for relief will be unusually heavy next Fall and Wigter, It is evident that there has been no emergency since | the war which has demanded the | thoughtful help of public spirited or- ganizations more than that of the present unemployment situation and ‘l}{u"mblems which are growing out Officially announcing that the As- sociation of Community Chests agreed to participation in the campaign, Mr. Croxton made public a letter to J. Herbert Sase, president of the associa- tion, outlining four tasks: “]. Getting information as to the present status of relief needs and funds to meet, the same in cities of 25,000 and over.

(Continyed From First Page.) i nent three times before he was 2 years | old and traveled on both coasts and had, so far as I can fathom the mai- ter, simply acquired a taste for travel, particularly by train or street car--he always tried to board cars when wandering. Spanking Ineffective. The discipline followed these excur-| sions was usually that of being put to bed for the remainder of the dav. When he was smaller and climbed the back yard fence or ran away while out walking he had been ked, but spankings seemed to have signally slight effect on him. So that form of dis- cipline was abandoned. We have been In Annapolis four months, and until the middle of May there was no recurrance of the wander: lust urge. He has been continually un- der supervision, of course, by nurse and by members of the family. In May he ran away twice to the Naval Academy, was put to bed one time with no effect, was caned the second time, equally with no effect. It will be understood that although I do not approve of cor- poral punishment, T was ready to try even discarded methods in an attempt to curb his going afield where he was in danger of falling overboard or of being run over. Shortly after that he ran away to market space, climbed on the fishing boats and was brought back to me by Chief of Police Holliday, drip- ing wet, because he had fallen over- Bourd and been pulled out by a larger boy. Last Sunday he was playing out- doors, ran away, and was brought back | from the railroad trestle over College | Creek, where he was blithely walking the tracks on the way to New York.| At the Bladen Street Station I was told that he had come in and asked for a ticket, and that they had seen him walk away up the tracks when he was refused. Naturally I cannot expsct to- tal strangers to nurse my child for me, | but since grown people can calmly | watch a 4-year-old walk awgy up railroad tracks it seemed to me more than ever imperative that I find some way of teaching my child the dangers of such conduct. Depend on Kindness. He has a sublime faith in the belief that every one will always be good to him and that he is too clever to be in- jured in any way. For two years I have described the horrors of automobile ac- cidents to a little boy who listened calmly and unbelievedly. I will not allow him to be frightened by tales of policemen who cut off boys hands, and other bogey tales sometimes volunteered by outsiders, and as a result he adores policemen and looks forward to the same cordial treatment from them that was accorded him in the Long Beach police station, where he was fed apples and cookies. His Long Beach nursery school teacher, who has studied child psy- chology, advised me to arrange & fake kidnapping, have him picked up some time when he ran away and detained away from home for a few days in order to give him some conerete idea chests. - “3.

Discussing the work of the regional representatives with regard to . relief, Mr. Croxton pointed out that through them the President’s committee will continue to work closely with State and Iocal employment and relief committees ;nd State departments of public wel- are. “If it develops that with local re- sources organized, there are less favored Igcalities which will require outside aid, Mr. Croxton said, “a way must be found to relieve human distress in such com- ‘munities and this will no doubt require assistance from more fortunate locali- ties. The extent of these areas and the size of the problem can be more. ac- curately determined if organization of Jocal resources goes forward rapidly.” In a letter addressed to Linton B. Swift, executive secretary, the: Family Welfare Association, Mr. fon stated: “~“The demands upon relief funds in many communities have been so heavy that greatly increased efforts will be to discover and develop addi- 1 local resources. If communities to administer their relief activities ta the best advantage it is essential at they l}.vle. as a basis for such work, practical experience gained by many communities during the past year. ) Undertaking of Work. ~-“Regarding your association as one of our principal channels of co-opera- tion in the social work fleld, and rec- g its special fitness for gathering information on unemployment and re- Hef, and advising with reference to the #fministration of relief, we should g::.tly appreciate your undertaking in work as soon as possible.” ““The work to be carried by the asso- elation includes the promotion of rea- sonable standards of administration of relief, particularly in the less populous communities, the furnishing of current Information concerning changing con- | ditions, and the preparation of guid- ance reports on especially difficult re- Mef problems. In addition to these projects. several ; studies are under way to provide local | relief-administering agencies with sug-| tions based on sound procedures for | ndling various phases of the problem. | At the request of the President’s Com- | mittee, the research department of the | Russell Sage Foundation is preparing | an; analysis of successful methods of | osrrying out “made work” programs in | connection with relief. i) EX-MINISTER SUICIDE “No Place for Poor Man’ He Says| '| in Death Note.

Chief Holliday was most reluctant to agree, because he felt that the experience would be too try- ing for a mere baby. T assured him that I would take all responsibility for the effect on the child, and I did not feel that I was asking too much of the police, because if Roger could be cured of this habit they would be saved much trouble—they had been already sent out to search for him sev- eral times. Why should not police, well as doctors, do preventive work as | well as curative? Agree on Jailing. Chief Holliday agreed to take him, simply as a favor to me and said that he preferred not to keep him all night, but that part was left open, to depend on Roger’s reaction. This was sched- uled for Wednesday. That afternoon, just before leaving the station house Chief Holliday told Commissioner ‘Waller about the plan to bring the boy to the station. No mention was made as to the length of time he was to be kept, which was not yet settled. Chief Holliday, acting on my request, gave his men_instructions to pay no atten- tion to Roger beyond the cursory offi- cial attention necessary. He was to be meither frightened no coddled. He was taken.off the W., B. & A. train at West Street Station by Chief Holliday at 5 p.m. Chief Holliday had told me that he would attend to the matter ally so that the boy should not be ‘frightened by harsh treatment. We arranged for him to get on the train at Maryland avenue because we hoped to cure him of his idea that he could go to New York if he once boarded a train, and the conductor was schooled to ask for his ticket, then say that children were not allowed to travel alone and put him off at West street. At 6:30 I went over to the station®house, saw him asleep, and left a pillow and blanket and some bread. I was told that he had cried a little, talked about blowing up the station house and then gone to sleep. Al 8 pm. I telephoned Officer Virgil Linton, who told me that Roger had been awake but was now asleep and all right. I do not believe that Roger cried his heart out in the cell, as some of the more sensational reports have had it, but I would be perfectly willing to have him weep all of several nights in order to insure his not being killed or maimed for life. Commissioner Angered. At 11 p.m. my sister and her escort went to the station house and were told by Officer Linton that Roger was all right, but that Commissioner Lee ‘Waller had been in and was furious over Roger's being there, I asked if the commissioner wished us to bring him home and was told no, that since it was arranged it could continue, but he was quoted as saying that if he had been in town it would not have been allowed. When I went to bring Roger home at 8 am. Thursday morning, I was surprised to see three gentlemen get out of a car at the station house Just as I reached the door. They went into the cell room and I was indignant, because Chief Holliday had promised | ! +|will aid his wanderings. see. No atf THE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C, JUNE 21, 1931—PART- ONE.
