OBJECT OF SURVEY Miss Kimble of Travelers’ Aid Society Begins Study of Two Problems. ‘Washington was made the starting int of a nation-wide survey of the dling of transient homeless men and transient families pecause of the gress made in thes> two problems {ltl:ough a study conducted by the Transient Committee on the Council of Social Agencies, it was announced here yesterday. The survey is being eonducted by the National Assoclation of Travelers' Ald Societies at the re- uest of the President’s Emergency 'ommittee for Employment. Miss G. Eleanor Kimble of the nationzl asso- ciation is conducting the study here. Survey Results in Bureau. ‘The local survey, made mcre than a year ago by Miss Ruth Aliison Hudnutt under the supervision or the Council Committee with the -co-operation of the Travelers' Ald Soctety, resulted in the establishment of a bureau for homeless men and a similar bureau for the care of homeless, transient women and families. These bureaus, the first under the direction of A, W. Boehringer and the second under the direction of Miss Elizabeth Glaser, are both under the supervisicn of ‘the Washington ‘Travelers’ Ald Society, this organization being selected for this supervision be- use of its maintenance of a 24-hour- ay service at its Union Station desk. As a result of the establishment of these two bureaus, a number cf men have been located in jobs here and others have been located In their origi- nal places of residence or in other cities where it was thought they would have & better chance for a come-back. Families have been rehabilitated in the same manner. Use of Material. When the call for a survey of this fleld of action came to the National Association of Travelers' Aid Socleties from the President’s Committee, it was immediately decided to make use cf the |CHRONIC BEGGAR WINS material obtained in the study here as & basis for work in other cities, and | Miss Kimble was sent to Washington. She is a former member of the Los Angeles staff of the Travelers' Aid Society and is at present an instructor in the Graduate Schcol of Social Serv- ice Administration of the University of Chicago. ‘The study contemplated by the Na- tional Travelers' Aid will embrace the whole of the United States, being ex- tended, in some States, to State-wide proportions rather than being ccnfined | to_cities. The association expects to have a re- | port ready by September. | ACCUSED RUM OWNER On Homes Body l RICHARDS IS APPOINTED TO CONFERENCE. | WILLIAM P. RICHARDS.
