THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. PERSHING APPEALS FOR JOBLESS AID Lindbergh, Mary Pickford, Ir- vin Cobb and Kathleen Norris Help Drive. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, November 9.—An emer- gency which “in some respects sur- passes the tragedy of the wartime bat- tlefleld” was described by Gen. John J. Pershing, com- mander of the American__expedi- tionary forces in France during the World War, over a Nation-wide radio hook-up last night. He appealed for the Nation's mil- lions to volunteer in the campaign to drive away dis- stress during the Winter in the same manner that would respond tomorrow America should call for men to dle for her.”” Gen. Pershing spoke on a radio pro- gram with Col. Charles A. Lindbergh, Mary Pickford, Irvin S Cobb and Kathleen Norris. “This call is not for sacrifice of life,” Gen. Pershing said. “It is to give life. You ave summoned to live like Ameri- cans and to see that your neighbors live like Americans—strong and un- afraid. You cannot afford to fail. You will not fail. You will give. and give freely. You will go forward in pride and self-respect to victory, again to see our people enjoy prosperity, com- fort and happiness “We must all move quickly,” Mary Pickford said, “to help our neighbors Gen, Pershing. and preserve our own self-respect. Be- lieve me. what we do for others in these crises of life comes back to us not & hundredfold, but a thousand. * * * “I have learned from my own con- tacts that people are not cold hearted; they are sympathetic, warm hearted, when some one is hurt in the studio and we see it, three or four times as much is subscribed as is asked for.” Col. Lindbergh said: “We have an overproduction of food and manufactured products together with unemployment snd lack of pur- chasing power. In short, we have both the luxuries of life and time to make use of them without the system which permits necessary distribution. “We are passing through another period of adjustment. When we emerge it must be on a foundation stronger than before. We have in this country all that is necessary for the welfare of every individual. We can and no doubt will survive the present crisis. Our great test is how we emerge. Our future depends today on individual recognition of responsibility.” Mrs. Norris sald fear psychology was at the base of much of the world's: present troubles. She said Americans should do all in their power to banish the fears of their neighbors, and cheer them into an optimistic state of ac- tivity, both with material assistance and encouraging sympathy. Novelist éuggests Ten Million Gifts E. D. RHEEM COACHES FOOT BALL TEAM AT LORTON REFORMATORY Realizes Ambition Cherished Since Father Made Him Quit School Eleven. Game Credited With Doing, Much to Improve Morale of Prison Inmates. Edmund D. Rheem had to wait until he went to prison to realize a long- cherished embition. ‘Twenty-eight years ago a Washington newspaper carried in its sport headlines the announcement that “Eddie” Rheem would play quarterback for Central | High School in its opening foot oall | game of the season. | Eddie, however, did not play in that| game or any other. | His father, Clarence Rheem, saw the headline and threw cold water on the boy's gridiron ambitions. His son, he | decreed. would not play foot ball, and that was that! Reluctantly, Eddie turned in his uniform, and for the rest of his school career devoted himself to base ball. He later played on the var- sity nine at Princeton. Now, however, he is coach and the driving force back of the foot ball team at Lorton Reformatory, where he is serving a seven-year sentence for an offense in connection with the bank- ruptey of Swartzell, Rheem & Hensey Co.. mortgage banking house. Too old now to play himself, he n ertheless speaks with pride of “our team” and its abilities, and makes no secret of the fact he is getting as much pleasure as possible from this prison diversion. There are two teams at the institu- tion, one white and the other colored. They play on alternate Sundays with any team willing to schedule games The team has full equipment for 70 men. According to prison authorities, foot ball has done a great deal toward maintaining the morale of the inmates | and is looked upon as an ideal form of recreasion. John H. Edwards, jr., former F. H. Smith Co. officer, played on the prison | base ball team. He, too, is a foot ball | devotee, but is hardly rugged enough to | play the game. ‘When Pencoed Castle, Monmouth- shire, England, was offered for sale re- cently by the order of Viscountess Rhondda, there were no bidders and the sale was called off. As Aid to Jobless Extra Yuletime Generosity Business Stimulus, Says Kathleen Norris. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, November 9.—Kathleen Norris, novelist, called upon Santa Claus last night to help end unemployment. She asked a Nation-wide radio audi- ence to give 10,000,000 extra gifts this Christmas in an effort to blow out the flame of our hard times.” “Make out your lists tonight,” she urged, “even if it’s only a postcard, a receipted milk bill, a good Christmas dinner, a half million of you, each giv- ing 20 extra gifts, little and big, home- made or purchased. “Just how many factories those 20 times 500,000 gifts would reopen; just how many women they would put back _at their jobs; just how many shops and stores and restaurants would profit by the incoming flood of business, we can- not calculate, but work it our for your- selves.” She said she got the idea from two girls—poor girls—with whom she rode on a train. They said they were going to do it and in their cases it would mean 40 lengths of ribbon, 40 cards, 40 wrapper papers and 40 gifts, most of which would be either homemade or cost only about 10 cents apiece. il Bus companies in Manchuria have offered to improve highways in return for monopoly operation between cities.
