BATLE FOR B CONVENTONSKEEN Republicans Seem Destined for Cleveland and Demo- crats for Chicago. By the Associated Press. The Republican and Democratic National Conventions, which went farther West in 1928, seem destined for Cleveland and Chicago next June. The former, where Calvin Coolidge was nominated in 1924, is likely to be the Republican choice. Sites will be selected at the meet- s of the national committees to be held here in December and January. Coast City a Bidder. San Prancisco is still in the run- ning and is expected to make a strong bid particularly for the Democratic gathering. It is favored by several prominent Democratic leaders, but the | general opinion at the Capital now is that a centrally located site is pref- erable this year. ‘The influence of Joseph R. Nutt of Cleveland, treasurer of the Republican National Committee, as well as that of Chairman Fess and Postmaster Gen- eral Brown, also from Ohio, puts the | odds on the Ohio city for the Re- publicans. Of course, the wishes of President Hoover, if he has any preference, will be & determining factor in the selection. Chicago Secks Both. Chicago is busy at work on both Democratic and Republican chieftains. Other cities also are making bids and none can be ruled out until the com- mittees meet. Detroit and Boston. No convention has been held in the East since John W. Davis’ nomination ended the tumultuous Democratic gath- ering of 1924. President Hoover was nominated in 1928 at Kansas City, while the designation of Al Smith as Demo- cratic standard bearer was made at Houston. INFORMER KILLS HERSELF | Woman Leaves Notes “Uncle S8am” to Bury Her.

THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 12, 1931 Emphasizing the necessity for un- stinted generosity this Fall and Winter on the part of all who have either wages or wealth, Will H. Hays dis- cusses the significance of current wel- | fare and relief campaigns in a state- | ment just received here by John Poole, president of the Washington Commu- nity Chest. | " "Mr. Hays, former Postmaster General | of the United States, now head of the | Motion Picture Producers’ and Distribu- tors' Association, bases his point of view upon a wide variety of contacts in the |world of affairs. In his statement he sums up the obligations of the in- dividual citizen as follows: “There is a film before my eyes as I watch Winter planning the most dra- matic spectacle that twentieth century America may ever witness—the moving | pleture of 6,000,000 men impotent before unger and cold. And if the job-hold- ing rest of us do not tide friends, neigh bors and friendless over the emergency, we must confess to even more frozen hearts than frozen assets in these United States, i t isn't helping to pro- | ustain trade or help a | neighbor slacker and unfit to bear | the mint-mark of the United States. | Any dollar trembling in a check book |or hiding in a savings account—that [ stops its ears to a child’s hunger cry or |looks away from women shivering in | the cold—any dollar that denies its ob- ligation to misfortune is a dollar that | | your own family would prefer not to inherit. | No Time to Pass Buck. “For if this problem of unemploy. ment is not met in the spirit of part- | nership, it will inevitably be handled | |in the spirit of penalty. From where | |I stand in the world of affairs I can | already observe legislation drawing | | anticipatory measures to draft relief in | case we fail to volunteer it. I do not refer to the proper use, as a constitu- | tional police power in periods of emer- | gency, of certain moneys raised by tax- |ation. I refer to the abortive exten- sion of that proper function into fields | | of deadening pittances promoting idle- | ness. “This is one time when we can't| pass the buck to George. And the so-| called rich cannot do it alone. The shrinkage in securities, combined with suppressed buymng power, hasn’t left him enough to carry his usual burden and ours besides. He has the responsi- bility, too, of conserving enough of his depleted resources to maintain our jobs. ‘This_crisis is everybody’s business. “The greater half of depression is| always suppression. Overenthusiasm | and ballyhoo optimism helped get {s |into the bog, but we will stay there if | suppressed enthusiasm, suppressed con- | fidence and suppressed optimism do not | quit covering silver linings with black | clouds. ‘There is much unemployed labor, but there’s even more unem- ployed courage and unemployed mma; tive and unemployed capits Some of IDLE MONEY CALLED SLACKER BY HAYS IN RELIEF APPEAL |Unstinted Generosity Necessary This Fall| and Winter.

All of us can employ hope, can employ confidence, and can em- ploy the will to share. “I make no appeal in the name of charity, as sweet as charity is. I will not even emphasize the basis of all mutual help, the recognition of the brotherhood of man. Must Not Happen Again. “I afirm the need for new social and economic measures. The thing which has happened to us must not happen again, if human ingenuity can prevent it. But we will not delay action in the present necessity while we discuss ulti- mate solutions. If we pause to debate economics the courage of our unem- ployed will meanwhile be vitiated, their strength will be sapped, the virus of desperation and the poisons of despair will invade their useful lives—their value as citizens will be jmpaired by bitterness, the mold in which they cast thelr children's vision of tomorrow be- come a distorted, menacing matrix “Yesterday invested billions of dollars to qualify these 6,000,000 to play worthy and intelligent roles in the destiny of the Republic. We dare not—we can not, in sanity, junk that investment and rob tomorrow of their wholehearted,, loyal, confirmed belief that they are still qualified for ambition and success. “I am not holding out tin-up argu- | ments or uttcring proxy whines in the name of men who have generally been too proud to expose their plight even to thelr own intimates. They at least have | set_an example in courage and pride uch as extremity has never before en- | countered. They do not belong to that | band of square pegs in round holes— they can not be grouped with the ha- bitual ne'er-do-wells or the hapless folk who are the proper wards of constituted charity. Double Problem Faced. “Millions of men today stand apart from all precedent—a company of fel- Jows and equals suddenly sundered from the social family—rendered re- sourceless as by ‘arthquake or a | flood—men cut off from acce: help—trapped by sudden dis vading office bu!ldings and shops, tene- ment rooms and apartments—a finan- Avoid Ugly Pimples Does a pimply face embarra's you?

It is not only a matter of how much and promptly we can each give, but how gently and un- derstandingly we can remember that these are oy neighbors.” CO-OPERATION NEEDED TO AID TRANSIENT POOR Official of National Travelers’ Ald Says Each Case Must Be Studied Carefully. Co-operation of all social organiza- tions in the city will be needed this Winter to handle the transient depend- ent problems, Miss Bertha McCall, act- ing director of the National Association of Travelers' Ald Socleties, declared yesterday at a meeting of the local chapter in the Burlington Hotel. | Miss McCall said all applicants should be given individual study and should be fitted into the life of the commun- ity where they are stranded, sent back | to thelr original residences or helped to | reach another city, depending on the | circumstances. She said these ideas | would be carried out in an effort to do the best thing possible for the unfortu- | nate. Miss McCall commended the effict- ency of tho Washington Travelefs’ Ald Society, where a bureau for homeless transient men as well as for transient | families is maintained under the direc- | tion of the Transient Committee of the | Council of Social Agencies.

Radcliffe returned recently after accompanying a distribution car from Fairport, Iowa, to Cumberland, Md. ‘The bureau fills from 12,000 to 15,000 applications for fish each year, the offi- cial said. This is accomplished by four specially equipped raillway cars, de- tached messenger shipments over the railroads, by truck, wagon, and even by packhorse. Last year the four railway cars traveled nearly 129,000 miles and detached messengers 410,000 miles, ‘The difficulties of these good-will messengers are being increased by the five-year construction and maintenance program, according to Radcliffe, pro- viding for 30 new stations. He said the new stations were being completed as rapidly as possible. The program in- 'NOW OPEN RESTAURA PIERRE CONN. AVE.
