In indorsing the project. the District | Commissioners yesterday issued the fol- lowing statement “At its meeting October 27 the B of Commissioners of the District of C lumbia gave careful consideration to the establishment of a municipal wood- yard as proposed by the District of Columbia Committee on Employment. It is the understanding of the Commis- sloners that the purpose of this pro- posed municipal woodyard is to pro- vide temporary employment for home- less transient unemployed men at a rate of compensation and for a period of time sufficient to obviate the neces- sity of -such men soliciting money on the streets. With this understanding the Commissioners are able to state that the proposed municipal woodyard has their complete indorsement and that the Metropolitan Police Depart- ment will co-operate with the Commit- tee on Employment to the extent of re- ferring all men found soliciting money on the city’s streets either to the wood- yard or to a duly established mission or_lodging house.” Two locations are under considera- |tlon. Onme is a lot bounded by Virginia |avenue and Pirst and Second streets southwest, and permission to use this lot has been granted. The other is the square bounded by Sixth and Seventh and B streets, the site of the uncom- pleted Washington Memorial. This lo- cation, permission to use which has not yet been granted, is considered prefer- n};le because it is sheltered and in. closed. 100 Cords of Wood. ‘The committee has 100 cords of wood available now in Arlington National Cemetery, where it was felled to make way for a new road. Opening of the wood yard, Mr. Adams said, awaits only the removal of this wood to the eity. It is estimated that the wrestling matches will produce $3,500 if the Audi- torium is sold out by the promoter, Joe ‘Turner, who is donating his services tc the committee. In a plea for support of the matches tomorrow night, Mr. Adams said: “It s urged that every one wh wishes to help clear the streets & Washington of panhandlers attend the wrestling matches on Thursday night Persons who do not enjoy wrestling are urged to buy tickets and give them to friends and employes. Seats range in price from $1 to $3 each, and may be reserved in Joe Turner's office in the Annapolis Hotel, 1119 H street. The Job Fund Show is much more than a mere gesture of unemployment relief. It will be the means of coping humanely and legally with a condition which rapidly is becoming most un- pleasant. It will be the means of stopping panhandling in Washington. “After the municipal wood yard is under way the citizens of Washington may co-operate still further with the Employment Committee in its erforts to eliminate panhandling. This co- operation best may be expressed in a willingness to say no for ever after when accosted for a dime upon the | city’s strees KIDNAPING OF WIFE IS LAID TO GRUDGE By a Staf Correspondent of The Star. UPPER MARLBORO, October 28— The theory that some one with a grudge against him attempted to_ “take it out” on his wife was the only possible ex- planation offered by Carl McEntire, Walter Reed soldier, for the kidnaping t‘;l his 17-year-old wife, Louise, yester- ay. Mrs. McEntire, a bride of only a few weeks, was found in a semi-conscious condition along the road near Ritchie, Md. Brought to Marlboro by Deputy Sheriff L. E.
