‘A-12 # RED CROSS CHEF | CALLS FOR FUNDS Payne Issues Plea on Eve of| Fiftieth Annual Drive to | | Open Wednesday. | . A plea for contributions to the| American Red Cross, which will begin | its fiftieth anniversary roll call Wed- | nesday, was broadcast last night by John Barton Payne, chairman He explained that the roll call runs from Armistice day to Thanksgiving, and said: | Millions Needed. | “We must have millions of additional members if we are to make the na- tional festival truly an occasion for | thanksgiving. 1 want to remind you that the Red Cross burdens, which thave been so very heavy, threaten to| become even heavier. The drought's effects linger. The economic situa- | tion is adding to the load. Even as I| speak more than 1,000 of our chapters mre engaged in family relicf work. At this very moment we are giving aid to victims of still another devastating drought in Montana and North Dakota. “Winter with its certain hardships Impends. No one can foresee the prob- Jems it will precipitate. We must be ready for them. Working With Veterans. “Working _with the co-operative courtesy of the Disabled Veterans of the World War, our chapters are under- | taking to contact and afford work or velief to the unemployed disabled | Neteran. ‘ “The Red Cross is sending to each hapter the names of unemployed vet- | prans living within its jurisdiction. These | are to be given relief through the chap- | ter or through the appropriate local | agency. The chapter will not be con- tont merely to refer the case and then | Sorget it. Employment or other forms ©f help must be provided. * * * | “You ne>d the Red Cross; the Red [Gross needs you. Even more important, here are millions of unfortunate fellow | citizens who hang upon your action. AWhat happens to them depends largely | upon how generously and promptly you respond.” JIM GENNA, HOODLUM | /| OF CHICAGO, EXPIRES « Fourth of Six Brothers Is Dead, Stricken in Calumet City, Ind., | by Heart Disease. By the Associated Press. i CHICAGO, November 9.—Another ©of the Genna brothers is dead, but he died in bed. He was Jim Genna, who pdssed away acefully in his home in Calumet City, nd., of heart disease. Three of the| : others—Tony, Mike and Angelo—ail| died from bullet wounds following the * slaying of Dion O'Banion in his Michi- ®an avenue flower shop back in 1924. ! Jim, whose real name was Vincenzo, the oldest of six brothers whose san-| rumnry fights were for control of the | iquor trade in Chicago during the early | days of bootlegging, had lived in recent years in obscurity in Calumet City. For two years he had been in poor health. | ‘An operation failed to bring him relief. After the gangland shootings that + Yollowed O’Banion’s slaying, Jim fled to { dtaly, where he was convicted in 1925 of the theft of the jewels of the Madona | di Trapani. He returned to the United ! States in 1929. Last night his body lay in an under- taking establishment in the same neigh- borhood where the Gennas once were powerful figures in their particular line, Heirs Must Befriend Crabs.

He sat on a wind-swept park bench, dejected and lonely. Misery and despair were in his eyes as he gazed vacantly in front of him.

The thought | of hungry men has made philanthro- pists forget the needs of organizations working to help the deaf. ‘ Most Neglected of All “The hard-of-hearing groups have been the most neglected of all organized groups in society. People are more sympathetic with persons whose afflic- tions are more apparent than the deaf; for instance, the blind or the crippled. But the handicaps of the deaf are just as tragic. They are shut off from the struggle the best they can by them- selves. “Although the staff here in Wash- ington has contributed a month's sBlnr__V in order to carry on our work, we can't do so,” concluded Miss Wright, herself deaf for many years, “unless public- spirited citizens come to our help. Some of the social agencies can help feed this man, but unless the league can carry on I don't see that there is much hope for hundreds afflicted like him.
