SUND/ AY MORNING, JUNE 26, 1932. = PAGE B—1 CHEST DRIVE DATES SET FOR NOVEMBER 10 ESCAPE DEFCT Shortage of $300,000 Funds for Charity Forces Decision for Early Move. FORMER CAMPAIGNS ‘ HELD EARLY IN YEAR| | District Under Plan to Take Ad-| vantage of Nation-Wide Relief Publicity Action. The campaign of the Washington Community Chest to finanee its member organizations for 1933 will be held No- vember 11 to 21, inclusive, it was an- nounced yesterday by E. C. Graham, president of the Chest organization. The former campaigns have been held in January-February period, and the date was moved forward to the Autumn period by action of the Executive Com- mittee after careful consideration of the matters involved in the decision, Mr. Graham said. Several factors entered into the de- cision to change the campaign dates. Foremost among these, Mr. Graham ex- | plained, was that of taking ldvantfl.gei of the Nation-wide publicity campaign | for community chests which will be conducted in the Autumn from the headquarters of the National Associa- tion of Community Chests and Councils in New York. Local Chest to Benefit. The Washington Chest thus will be enabled to benefit by this association | with the national program to the very great advantage of the people of all races and creeds, in all kinds of need, served by the 65 agencies of the local chest, he added. ‘Three alternatives were faced by the Chest because of the economic con- diton of the country, and the enormous increased demands for aid thereby created, which have practically ex- hausted the funds of the family re- lief organizations, it was explained. There was the choice of incurring & deficit of approximately $300,000; of holding a supplementary eampaign in October to meet current demands; or of setting the dates for the regular eampaign in November. Emergency Campaign Discussed. | “Every business man knows that no| organization can continue in business on a constantly mounting deficit,” Mr. Graham said, “and the executive com- | mittee felt that to continue along| present lines and encounter a deficit of | $300,000 at the end of the year would put the Chest in an impossible position. ‘The prospect of holding a supplemen- tary, or emergency campaign, in Octo- ber, was also discussed but it was felt that such, a campaign would react against the Chest appeal when the Tegular campaign was held. “The only remaining alternative was to select an Autumn campaign date, and start anew on funds raised during the November campaign. Only in this | way can the actual cash deficit faced | by the Chest be reduced to a point| where it is possible to handle it. We| will also have the advantage of a| naticnally-awakened community spirit, spurred on by the national publicity | campaign emanating from the national association, which I believe will be most heipful to us locally.’ | BEGIN WORK SOON Wants U. S. Air Training MEMBER OF CHINESE LEGATION STAFF TO BE CADET. ILITARY training as a course| in good citizenship and self discipline has encouraged Su- Les Chang, a junior member of the Chinese legation staff in Washington, to become a fiving cadet at Randolgh Field, Tex., where he was entered by special permisston of the Government. As a member of the R. O T.

What impressed him most about the American method, as contrasted with the foreign method, he wrote in the Infantry Journal, was that the technique of the use of arms is not taught as an art of aggressive war.

FORGET OLD ENMITIES UNDER STARS AND BARS Notables in Reviewing Stand See Southern Troops March for Perhaps Last Time. | A hundred gray-clad veterans—a remnant of the once glorious command | of Gen. Robert E. Lee—swept along the | national parade ground yesterday to pass in review before the populace of| the city that was their objective in an | unsuccessful campaign of 70 years ago. North of the Potomac from their forty-secand annual reunion at Rick- | mond, nearly 100 United Confedera veterans forgot, it seemed, the ravages of time as they bore their tattered ban- | ners of the Confederacy side by side with the Stars and Stripes up Penn- sylvania avenue to a reviewing stand on Constitution avenue. Pennsylvania avenue was lined with spectators eager to pay tribute to the gray veterans as the long column moved westward up this famous thor- oughfare. Unlike their beloved Rich- mond, where they marched between the statues of Lee, Jackson, Stuart and | other famed heroes of the South, the | Southern soldiers paraded yesterday in | sight of the Peace Monument, erected in memory of Federal soldiers who died in that great conflict; before the statue | of Maj. Gen. John A. Rawlins, Grant's chief of staff, which was molded from Confederate cannon captured by Grant's armies, and in view of the statues of Gen. U. S. Grant and Gen. Winfield Scolt Hancock, another Union Army leader. Forrest's Cavalrymen Lead. In the vanguard of the procession, their heads held proudly aloft, rode four cavalrymen of Nathan B. Forrest's fa- mous mounted brigade, parading per- haps for the last time. They were Gen. J. C. Hooks of Georgia, in command; | Gen. Jerry C. Dennis of Alabama, Gen. | R. E. Bullington of Mississippi, and Col. | Bill Smart of Texas. Another member | | of this cavalry brigade was in the pa- rade, but rode in an automobile. He is Gen. Robert G. Atkinson. Led by the commander in chief-elect of the United Confederate Veterans, Gen. Homer T. Atkinson, and Gen. C. A. De Saussure, his immediate prede- cessor, the colorful column included | many sons and daughters of Canleder-‘ | ate soldiers, as well as members of other veteran groups, patristic organizations, | civic units and bodies of tagn from the branches of the country’s military es- | tablishment. The official party at the head of the parade included Gen. Willlam MCcK. | Evans, commander of the Army of Northern Virginia, and Maj. Robert 8. | Hudgins, grand marshal of the parade, | | accompanied by their staffs; Gen. | Harry Rene Lee, Dr. George R. Tabor, | | retiring commander in chief of the Sons | ef Confederate Veterans; Dr. William Dancy, commander in chief of that or-| ganization, and Arthur Clarendon Smith, representing the local chapter | of the Sons of Confederate Veterans, | who were hosts to the visitors. i Join Reviewing Party. Passing the reviewing stand on Con- | stitution avenue, where Secretary of | | the Navy Adams, representing the Pres- ident, headed notables viewing the pa- | rade, the Confederate veterans alighted | from the machines to join the review- ing party. Spectators at this point included Rear Admiral Henry V. Butler, commandant | of the Washington Navy Yard; Rear Admiral Harry G. Hamlett, comman- | dant of the Coast Guard: Maj. Gen. Ben H. Fuller, commandant of the Marine Corps; Gen. Perry Miles, Tep- | resenting the United States Army; Ben | T. Webster, president of the Washing- | ton Board ‘of Trade; Gen. R. B.

UNION OF WORLD'S JEWRY APPROVED Einstein Cables Favor to American Convention Be- ing Held Here. Dr. Albert Einstein, noted physicist, yesterday cabled the American Jewish Congress, in convention at the Willard Hotel, his approval of plens of the con- gress for a world organization of Jewry in defense of Jewish rights. A meeting of the National Executive Committee of the congress last night heralded formal opening of the con- vention, scheduled for today. The con- gress is sponsoring a world conference of Jews next August at Geneva to con- sider mobilization of Jewery into a de- fensive organization. Organization Is Necessity. “Internaticnal orgamnization of all Jews in defense of their rights in the several countries is of the utmost neces- sity and importance,” Dr. Einstein said in his message. “I am, of course, aware that many Jews may be against a world conference for fear they will be denied thelr rights as citizens of the countries in which they reside. This fear is en- tirely without foundation. I regard the forthcoming conference in Geneva as indeed very desirable in order to discuss some manner of organizing world Jewry | in_defense of Jewish rights.” That there is definite opposition to the plan became apparent yesterday | when the American Jewish Committee, | York, issued a statement through Cyrus Adler, president, dencuncing the move- ment. | Referring to the propesal of the Con- | gress to aid Jews in Poland. Germany, Rumania, Hungary and other coun- tries, Mr. Adler said the members of | that organization were “determined to carry out their preconceived ideas on behalf of others who do not want their ald” He also sald that if the pro- posed ipternational organization is car- ried through it will be interpreted as proof that the Jews “are an interna- tional body without local or civic pa- triotism.” “Time Critical for Jews.™ Replying t> this charge, Rabbl J. T. Loeb sald it was “perfectly legitimate and honorable for any group to organ- ize in the interest of self-preservation. This is & critical time in the political. | economic and social life of the Jewish people.” he declared. | | He asserted there was a certain con- | tingent among the Jewish people who resent the Jews to the rest of the on the part of the race as a whole to act in their own interest.” At the sessions here problems con- fronting Jews in all parts of the world will be discussed. - - FOUR CONCERTS PLANNED Army Band to Open Week’s Series at Dupont Circle.

Meanwhile, an intensive search is be- ing made for three other men. These men, according to Capt. Charles H. Burns, chief of the Baltimore Detective Bureau, were in the Maryland city with the other two, but were not registered at the downtown hotel in which the palr was arrested. The men arrested gave their names as Edward Workman, 28, and Harry Miller, 25, both of Columbia, 8. C. After being questioned at the Baltimore police headquarters, they were brought to ‘Washington by Detective Sergts. Frank Brass and John Wise, Capital head- quarters men. ‘Workman and Miller were arrested by Brass and Wise, working in co-oper- ation with Baltimore detectives. Brass| and Wise were sent to Baltimore, In-| spector Burke explained, following re- ceipt of a tip that five men were plot- ting to hold up a bank in the Maryland city yesterday morning. Pair Quizzed After Arrest. After their arrest, Workman and Mil- ler were quizzed by Capt. Burns, but he made no statement regarding the inter- view, according to Associated Press dis- patches from Baltimore. ‘Workman, one of the dispatches stat- ed, struggled with detectives when he | | and Miller were taken to the Balti-| | more Bureeu of Criminal Identification | to be fingerprinted.

Workman and Miller were arrested, | according to Inspector Burke, on a‘ United States commissioner's warrant issued after receipt of information they were in hiding in Baltimore. The Georgia avenue bank was held | up June 10 by five bandits, who escaped ‘ with $9,031 after forcing the six em- | ployes of the institution to lie face | downward on the floor.

CAPPER REPEATS WARNING 10 CUT RENTSINDISTRICT | Kansas Senator Says Forced Action Will Be Worse for Landlords. AUTHORITY FOR INQUIRY EXPECTED DURING WEEK | Committee Will Not Have to Re- main in Capital While Inves- tigator Launches Work. Another warning to Washington real | estate interests to reduce rents volun- tarily or else face an exhaustive in- vestigation was issued last night by JSenntor Capper of Kansas, chairman of the Senate District Committee, in a radio speech broadcast by WMAL. The District Committee, Senator Cap- per_said, wants “actions, not alibis.” “Rents must come down,” he de- clared. “They are too high. In othef cities rents have decreased considerably. In this city all other factors in the cost of living have taken a big drcp. Rents have stayed up too long. Thousands of Washingtonians will get a salary re- duction July 1. They cannot stand these high rents. Expects Power This Week. “If the real estate interests of Wash- ington want to hold off to see whether We are sericus, so much the worse for them. The District Committee is going to the bottom of the real estate situa- tion. The only way for landlords to escape this inquiry is to reduce rents.” Senator Capper expects to get both authority and funds frcm the Senate this week for conductin proposed investigation. An authorization for $5,000 was sought, but it is doubtful if any more than $2,500 will bs granted because of the insistence of the Senate in trimming all requests for funds in the name of eccnomy. As soon as the Senate acts on Sen- ator Capper’s resoluticn for funds, he will designate three members of his committee to conduct the inquiry. Scope of Probe Broad. ‘The Senator himself will not remain in Washington this Summer nor will it be necessary for the investigating com- mittee to remain here. The special in- vestigator will make reports from time to time, it was said, and the only neces- sity for the presencs of the committee is when some vital matter arises which must be given immediate attention. Senator Capper, who is one of the out- spoken foss of high rents, will not be a member of the subcommittee. The resolution is so broad in its | that the inquiry can extend into every phase touching on the rent situation, :}'::lnlnut;hrteg:ly.nnlchkl ttt;nllon will be ncing of second and third trusts on the larger apartment buildings, which the District Committee blames as responsible more than any- thing else for continued nigh rents. Members of the committee felt that the real estate dealers and landlords in the Capital will take the hint and voluntarily lower rents before the com- mittee makes its recommendations to Congress. Discusses Other Bills, In his radio talk Senator Capper al: touched on the 1933 District lgngnLa? tion bill, now in the House awaiting approval of the conference report, the plans of Senator Blaine of Wisconsin to have the Senate appropriats funds out of the Federal Treasury lor relief of the Bonus Expeditionary Forces in Washington, and the credit unioa bill recently signed by President Hoover. Senator Capper said he did not think the $7,750,000 Federal contribution car- ried in the appropriation bill “is enough,” but expressed the hope that Congress would give the District more generous treatment next year. Regret also was expressed by Senator Capper over the failure of Congress to allow. more than $350,000 in the coming lr_i:[r:; year for emergency unemployment The appropriation bill, he said, carries altogether more than $41,000,000. “It ‘!‘ms been cut to the bone,” he declared. T do not thing the bill provides for a single unnecessary improvement.” Explains Credit Union Law. Senator Capper went into detall in explaining the new credit union law, g;vl’p!ung out that 35 States have similar “It is interesting to note,” he said, “that credit unions have weathered the depression remarkably well. There have been few reports of credit unions in financial difficulties.” The real good that the credit union does. he explained, is that “it helps the small wage earner to put aside what he can for a rainy day.” “If a member of a credit union is faced with a sudden emergency,” he ;axid.n “he can get a losn from the nion. BANDITS GETS $300 FROM STORE OWNER Woman Serves as “Blind” for Pair Who Bind Jacob Goozh and Flee With Loot Two men and a woman last night held up Jacob Goozh, 44, owner of the Capitol Souvenir Co., 1217 Pennsyl- vania avenue, robbed him of about $300, tied his hands and locked him in a room. in rear of the store. Goozh said the three entered the store about 9 o'clock while he was alone. The woman, whom he described as a “good-looking blond” and unusually world, and who resented any attempt | bond, and Alice F. Healy, possession, |tall, maneuvered him to the rear by asking to see a tea set, Then one of the men, he said, pulled out a revolver and ordered him to “put up your hands.” The store owner was escorted into the rear room, where one man went through his pockets while the other rified the store cash register. As the woman stood by, the men tied his hands behind him with a piece of brown cloth which they had brought with them. The three then locked the door and left. Goozh soon broke his bonds and pushed open the door to warn police. Police expressed the belief the ban- dits were the same ones who held up Emanuel Michaelson in his clothing store at 1747 Pennsylvania avenue last Monday, robbing him of $20. Struck by Stone.
