Chairman Campbell said that this in- tensified drive among the Government | workers, conducted as an independent function, will have the additional ad- vantage to the Chest of saving it some- ‘where between $60,000 and $70,000 in administrative costs that would have | been incurred by Chest solicitation in | the departments. He was particularly encouraged by the size of the general meeting this morning as evidencing the interest | among the workers. | In explaining why it had been decid- | ed to try to get all the pledges in by | December 12, Campbell said that this would allow plenty of leeway before Christmas, and the campaign would nct then interfere with the rush that al- ways characterizes the holiday season. The plan to get contributions out of the Government establishment is to be carried on throughout the entire coun- try.

It was really an interesting spectacle to watch.” ‘The test given Edith by Mrs. Elmore Wwas the Stanford revision of the Binat- Simon scale for measuring intelligence. “It was supplemented by various non-verbal tests consisting of picture puzzles and blocks,” Mrs. Elmore said, besides various special tests to check any special abilities or disabilities shown by using the Binat scale. “In cases of sensory deprivation oc- casioned by blindness or deafness spe- ciel methods of testing must be used and the results interpreted in terms of the individual's lack of experience oc- casioned by such handicaps. “In the case of this particular child, the formal intelligence tests probably should be interpreted very leniently in forming an estimate of the original en- dowment of intelligence. They will show us in some measure what intelli- gence the child actually possesses at this time, but will not give us eny ac- curate estimate of the original endow- ment of intelligence. “Examinations we are making at this time will be useful largely as a means of checking mental development at a future date. If this child has suffered through isolation over a period of the past four years we not only should ex- pect possible arrestment in develop- ment, but very likely some deteriora- tion as well.

The District is the only iurisdiction in the United States where the judge of the Juvenile Court, who ias the power to take the child’ from unsuitable guardians, has no authorit; %o say where the child will be piaced, As the placement of the child is of ofest importance, it seems to me fair that the judge who essumes e responsibility for removing the 4i1d from its natural guardiens. should be charged with the responsibility for wroperly placing that child.” “It was my responsibility to take Francis Riley from his parents, and as I do not believe in separating chil- dren from family life, I placed him with his awat, who, my inv — | correspondent in Philadelphia, evoked THE EVENING ISTUHLDREHER BID | IS DENIED ATG.

Special Dispatch to The Star. PHILADELPHIA, November 13.— From good authority it was revealed here today that Harry Stuhldreher, coach st Villanova College, has re- ceived an offer to take over the Georgetown University squad next season Stuhldreher, famed as the field gen- eral of Notre Dame'’s illustrious “Four Horsemen" of 1924, Wlsr E!ndl‘rc;g a roposition by a group of Georgetown Dlemni who called on the Wildcat mentor here several days ago, accord- ing to the story in circulation on the main line campus. The alumni, who are said to have been sent to see Stuhldreher by au- thorities of the Washington institu- tion, offered a five-year contract. The Villanova coach is reported to have taken the offer under consideration. It is virtually certain that Stuhl- dreher, who left with the Wildcats for Detroit last night, will leave Villanova at the close of the present sesaon, when his contract expires. Besides the George- town proposition he also is sald %be considering offers from Princeton, Wis- consin and Georgia Tech. Reported at Loggerheads. Stuhldreher is reported to be at log- gerheads with several of the higher- ups of the main line college, although Rev. James H. Griffin, president of the institution, denled this today. “Stuhldseher can stay at Villanova as long as he desires,” declared Father Griffith. This is the second attempt George- town has made to secure the services of the Blue and White mentor. It is & i known fact that the Hilltoppers made overtures to him when Lou Little tendered his resignation. Stuhldreher s one of the highest salaried young coaches in the business. For the past three years he has bee drawing down $10,000 plus a percentage of the gate Teceipts. During his regime Villanova has rapidly come to the fore in the foot ball world. The Blue and White enjoyed its greatest success three seasons ago when they went through the campaign undefeated, a tie score with Bucknell being the only blemish to a perfect record.

The bill for such a change has had the approval already of practically every social agency in the city,” George S.

Mrs. Riley ignored the advice of school authorities to place Edith in an institution, telling them she feared she would be condemned by her husband's family and his first wife's people as | “a stepmother, who wants to shove her responsibilities on other people.” This was revealed today by school officials, who, five years ago, counseled her that because she was unable to provide Edith with the particular kind of care that her case demanded, she should seek to have the child placed in_an_institution. In 1926, it was pointed out, Mrs. Riley presented to investigating inspec- tors of the Department of School and Attendance and Work Permits of the public school system a certificate writ- ten and signed by her family physician to the effect that Edith was “physically and mentally deficient.”” The child was excused from entering school after the school attendance and work permit offi- cers had contacted with the physician and his certificate has remained on file at the Pranklin Administration Building ever since. At the same time at least two Dis- trict officlals urged Mrs. Riley to put Edith in an institution in which she could benefit by special care. “The woman was distraught and wor- ried beyond endurance,” one of those advisers told The Star today. “She said: ‘I can't do that. Don't you see that if I recommend that Edith be put in an institution theyll all say that I was just a step-mother who wanted to shove her responsibllities off | on somebody else? I want to keep the child and do what I can.'" It was further pointed out to The Star that Mrs, Riley was urged to pl:ce Edith in an institution because DF the effect of her presence on the other and normal children in the household.

GTON, By the Associated Press. President Hoover 1is Congress take the next termining how much the Navy will cost. He plans to submit a Navy budget for the 1933 fiscal year calling for $343,000,000. This is $59,000,000 less than the department requested origi- nally and $15000,000 less than the supply bill passed by the last Congress In announcing the proposed cuts in | expenditures which precipitated him | into controversy with big Navy advo- cates, the Chief Exccutive said they dld not contemplate abandonment of | a single Navy Yard, decommissioning | a single combatant vessel or decreasing the enlisted personnel of the Navy. Details Are Withheld. The method by which they will be accomplished will not be made public until presented to Congress next month. Mr. Hoover sald “the budget provides | for the continued construction u_f every one of the treaty ships authorized by Congress, except six destroyers. - 'l The program proposed under ~this budget will not decrease, but will slightly increase the total direct and indirect employment in the Navy in naval con- struction in the next fiscal year oxtr and above that of the present year. He added that the t.nnage of com- batant ships actually in construction by the United States now is nearly double that of Great Britain and in addition three battleships are being modernized. The deferment of the 6 destroyers out of 11 authorized has “not only been & measure of economy, but a policy of maintaining balances in destroyer pro- grams and maintenance of eveness of employment in the yards,” he sal. Rigid Economy Needed. “These are times when the Ameri- can people have a right to rigid econ- omy on the part cf their Government, the President added. “Many officials have co-gperated and have taken Pride 1 the development of a proper program that would contribute to this economy.” The President explained that Navy Yards would not be closed, despite the fact that “Navy officials are convinced that the products of some of these yards could be made more cheaply else- Where.” To close them now “would pro- duce undue hardship to labor,” he said. Among the items not cut, which the Navy officials originally offered as sac- rifices, are the several Navy bands and the historic frigate Constitution. To Build Hospital. Even the new Philadelphia hospital will be built, said the President, but | this will be cared for in conjunction with the Veterans' Bureau. Even as Mr. Hoover announced the consummation of his proposed naval curtailments, provided Cngress leaves the budget unchanged, a new statement bearing upon his controversy with the Navy League was understood to be in preparation by Willlam H.

Prom Yesterday's 5:30 Edition. ‘The Club Continental, as operated by Patrick J.

The five men had been charged with maintaining a nuisance and with sec- ond-offense possession of whisky. The charges resulted from eight visits which a special employe of the Prohibition Bureau is sald to have made to the club during August and September. During the trial, which occupied three days, the Government introduced an informer who testified that on four occasions he bought whisky at the club and drank it before leaving. Four pints of alleged gin, exhibited as evidence, also were said to have been purchased there by the informer. Ahern and the other defendants de- nied on the witness stand that liquor was sold at the place. They character- ized it as a social “eating club,” and said several police officers had been in the place to inspect it The other four defeidants were John 8. Peyton, H. S§. Simmons, Harry W.

GARNER PUTS BAN ON POLITICS TRUCE House Democrats Will Vote Only on Bills” Merits, Not to Aid or Balk Hoover. By the Assoclated Press, Democrats in the House of Repre- sentatives, constituting a majority, stand recorded as intending neither to condemn automatically nor sanctify automatically White House proposals. In his first public statement since the twistings of fate designated him as the probable next Speaker, Repre- sentative Garner of Texas set forth yesterday this tenor of party thought. His statement came through the Dem: ocratic National Committee. No political truce with President | Hoover and no ylelding to political ex- pediency were the guide posts he set | for his colleagues, with whom he has been conferring for two days. “I do not anticipate that any Demo- crat will oppose & measure plainly necessary for the industrial health of our people or one that will relieve us of some of the embarrassments for which we belleve the present adminis- tration responsible,” Garner said.

Garner States Stand. “If there be political advantage in demonstrating our ability to exhibit to the country the President’s importance,” the Texan asserted, “we are willing to forego that advantage. i “We will not take the position, for which incidentally we have adequate Republican precedent, that because a propcsal emanates from the White House it is thereby automatically damned. Nor will he accept the hy- pothesis that because of such origin it is automatically sanctified.” He forecasts that with a presidential election near, every time the Democrats oppose “the’ White House incumbent and candidate for re-election,” they will be accused of “playing politics.” “If we are interested in bringing about the election of a Democratic suc- cessor to Mr. Hoover, he and his party are no less interested in accomplishing Mr. Hoover's re-election,” Garner said. ‘here is no more justification for the contention that Democratic votes against administration measures are dictated by partisanship than that the President's own recommendations are actuated by an equally selfish motive.” Clubman Held in Slaying DWARD H.

The drive for the speakership rom- ination has split House Republicans in twain, including the large Pennsylvania delegation, which otherwise might hold the decision in its hands. So keen is the contest being waged by friends of Representatives Tilson of Connecticut and Snell of New York that neither may have any assurance of vic- tory until after the balloting in the Republican caucus on November 30. Tilson’s backers claim the support of approximately half the membership. Snell's advocates assert his nomination is assured. Both claim a majority of the Pennsylvania delegation.

BY DAVID LAWRENCE. Special Dispatch to The Mar. BUFFALO, N. Y., November 13.— More than two-thirds of the money be- ing spent for food ana shelter and re- lief throughout the United States is coming out of public funds, namely State, county and cny government treasuries. The remaining third comes from private philanthropy. These figures, just made available by the Department of Statistics of the Russell Sage Foundation after an ex- haustive study of 458 agencies in 81 cities, provoked some caustic comment mong some of the delegates attend- ing the National Conference on Gov- ernment here, and it was declared that nothwithstanding such Nation-wide as- sistance by the cities, the Presdent's Committee on Umm?lnyxunt. Relief in Washington had refused thus far to permit the city officials to have any voice in the deliberations of the ni tional committee. the first six months of 1931 approximately $81,000,000 have been expended for direct relief by these 80 cities. This does not include any funds for public buildings or projects or any costs of administration, but represents actual disbursements to in- dividuals in distress. About $19.000,000 was expended out of $81.000.000 for what is known as “work relief.” name- ly, created. jobs supervised by the cities. Relatively Small Sum. At the rate of spending thus far the total amounts to be expended for di- rect relief in 1931 probably will exceed $170,000,000, as the second half of 1931 is requiring more funds than the first half. As appropriations go in a Na- tion that spends 0,000,000 an- nually for Federal, State and city gov- ernment and a billion for private philanthropy, the spending of $170,- 000,000 is a relatively small sum. It is less than 70 per cent of the amount forgiven the allies and the Ger- man Feople through the elimination of the $250,000.000 payment to the Ameri can Government in connection with the moratorium proclaimed last June. It also doesn't begin to compare with the sums spent in the last decade, es- pecially in the first few years after the war, for relief in Russia and Central Europe through the generosity of the American Government. The relief just now is being in such large part raised by taxation, notwith- standing the yeoman efforts of the pri- vate agencies, that some of the city managers here said privately they did not believe it was fair to put the main burden on the States and cities without help from the Federal Government. Sir Alexander Bundbury, controller of the British post office and head of the Brit- ish Institute of Public Administration, who was here making an address, re- marked that what he saw in Detroit was not much different from the dole in Britain, except that in England a fam- ily gets the equivalent of $7.50 a week, while in Detroit $20 per week is given a family of five. Taxation Is Source. ‘The practice of the cities in America is varied. Some of them are not only ?ly!ng out money to give the distressed amilies food and clothing, but” money is being spent to help them ‘The source of th funds taxation. 1 of the States, how- ever, do not_have income tax laws and A 15 @s-a source is drying up because of the numerous fore- closures of property for Non-payment of taxes. In some cities the amounts expended for direct relief will match the amounts raised privately. In 1929 and 1930 the public funds amounted to 75 per cent of the total relief funds each year and in the first half of 1931 it came down to 66 per cent, but the indications are that before the end of the year it will mount 0 aaky of the “Btat limited by any of the are constitutional lmd'&m in their bor- rowing powers.

It was learned that some members of ting pre- paring legislation to relieve the local governments of soms of the burden. One of the chief arguments is that in- dustry, which in times of prosperity distributes its dividends to shareholders iu all parts of the country, leans on a local government in a particular vicin- ity to “keep its labor in cold storage” throughout the * depression and that there is no way to get a proportionate con! from such industry, espe- cially since so many of them are iocated outside of city limits. - ‘The lem of the rural areas which have ited taxing powers and re- sources also has been pointed out as one reason why members of Congress from country distiicts are likely to seek Federal aid, very much as did Arkansag & year ago. 1 It was evident from informal discus- sions here that many of the city offi- cials feel that tle President's Commit- tee for Unempioyment Relief, while doing a splendid job in materially in- creasing the usual sums raised for wel- fare work, has not yet tackled the prob- ¢ major e: Telief and that the cm’ .nng and States are left to do this job with- out the co-operation of the national organization set up President Hoover with no prospect as yet of Federal aid, as the local taxation vud’u ‘Win- ter after Winter a bigger bill for the property holder to pay.
