Wash ington News “The Fo ening Star WITH SUNDAY MORNING EDITION —— W WELFARE BOARD PLANS WORK FOR . RELEF FUND Administration of $350,000 if Voted Will Be Started Immediately. FULL-TIME DIRECTOR MAY BE REQUIRED Taliaferro on Temporary Commit- tee—Conferences With Organi- zations to Be Held. ‘Tentative plans for administration of the relief fund of $350,000 contained in the District appropriation bill now in the hands of the House and Senate conferees are being mapped by the District Board of Public Welfare in preparation for early activity if the item is passed finally Definite arrangements to put the relief fund to work are to be completed by the board as soon as the House acts on the conference report. It is an- ticipated that by August 1 relief for the unemployed here can be forthcom- | ing, following final legislative action | | | | and adoption by the board of definite | policies. In preparation for this work, which the Public Welfare Board would ad- minister, a committee has been appoint- ed to lay preliminary plans. Members of this group are Sidney F. Taliaferro, | former Commissioner; George S. Wilson, director of the Board of Public Welfare, and Paul Kirby, assistant director of | the board. Meeting to Be Called. A full meeting of the members of | the board will be called by W. W.| Millan, who is acting as chairman in the place of John Joy Edson, as soon as enactment of this item appears as- sured. The Welfare Board at it smeeting last week considered the matter generally, but deferred more definite action pend- | ing final decision by the House and Sen- ate on the District budget. : Relief and civic organizations ap- pealed to Congress some time ago for inclusion of an appropriation item of $600,000 for relief work here, but this item was reduced to $350,000 in the con- ference report The conference report in this connec- tion specifies that not more than 10 per cent of the relief fund appropri tion shall be spent in its administrs tion. Three kinds cf relief outlined in the conference measure are for loans, direct relief to needy unemployed and creation of work for others. The Board of Public Welfare already is receiving applications for work from members of the unemployed groups in | Washington, and there are reports which estimate the number of jobless here at approximately 20,000. Director Wilson said today, however. he had no definite figures as yet in this regard, and, therefore, could make no estimate as to what extent the $350,000 appro- priation would meet the needs of local unemployed. Director on Full Time. Lit is believed administration of the relief fund will require the full time of a director or superviser, and it is planned to engage an experienced per- son to conduct this work, as Mr. Wilson finds there is no one now in the service of the District welfare department who could be assigned to it and still be able to carry on his own activities. ‘The Board of Public Welfare is plan- ning to consult with officials of the Associated Charities and the Catholic and Hebrew charitable organizations and the Salvation Army as to general policies of the administration of the relief fund.

C, X JEWISH CONGRESS DELEGATES CALL UPON PRESIDENT Conference Representing 400,000 Adults to Elect Officers Today. BORAH DEFENDS RIGHT TO A NATIONAL HOME Speakers Complain of Discrimina- tion Against Their Race in Europe. After being received at the White House at noon today by President Hoover, delegates to the American Jewish Congress prepared to elect of- ficers and name representatives to the Geneva Conference at the closing ses- sions this afternoon in the Willard Hotel. The congress, which represents the interests of more than 400,000 organ- ized adult Jews in America, met on the eve of what speakers described as the most critical period in the long history of the Jewish race to discuss world re- liet problems, particularly among the Jews of Central and Eastern Europe. The delegates were addressed last night by Senator Borah of Idaho, whose speech was sent out over a Na- tional Broadcasting Co. network. Defends Rights of Jews. “There are two rights which ought to be accorded any people,” the Senator said, “the right to have a national home, a place where they as a people may breathe the atmosphere of home and feel the inspiration of the national spirit; secondly, the right to be pro- tected from injustice and persecution, the freedom to enjoy life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. The Jewish people are pleading for the former and demanding the latter. “All right thinking people sympa- thize with them in their aspirations. The plan to establish a national home in Palestine sprang from that passion which neither time nor adversity can extinguish—devotion to race and coun- It is a great undertaking, full of difficulty and danger. But it is a great | and resourceful race which has taken it up. I sincerely hope it will succeed. “I feel that the establishment of this home on a large and successful scale will go far toward ameliorating the in- tolerable treatment which the Jewish people have received and still receive at the hands of some governments.” Sees Raclal Emergency. In his annual address, Bernard . Deutsch, president of the congress, de- clared that “never before in our long history, perhaps, were we faced Wwith an emergency of similar breadth and intensity. World Jewry is being men- aced from all sides by an unparalleled outburst of hatred, accelerated by the continuance of the prevailing world- wide depression. While the condition is grave in other lands, it has become catastrophic in the countries of Cen- tral and Eastern Europe.” Characterizing Hitlerism in Germany as “an insane outcropping of medieval bigotry and obscurantism,” Mr. Deutsch expressed the hope that a restoration of normal economic conditions in that country will banish a condition de- scribed by Prof. Einstein as “a feeding upon the empty stomach of Germany.” “The immediate and most difficult problem which confronts the Jews of the world,” the speaker said, “is the | economic prostration of the principal | Jewish communities of Eastern and Cen- tral Europe. It is no exaggeration to |say that we are witnessing the com- | plete pauperization of the Jewish | masses, bringing in its train incredible | suffering and misery reminiscent of the | flood-stricken areas of China.” Describes Russian Crisis. | In a summary of conditions in Ger- { many. Poland, Rumania and Russia, Dr. Joseph Tenenbaum, chairman of the | National Executive Committee of the congress, said ;'a powerful movement of political, econdmic and zoologic anti- Semitism will be known to history as the ‘black internationale of the twen- tieth century’ and aims at no less a goal than the destruction of the Jewish race “The nearly 10,000,000 Jews in Eu- | rope are engulfed in a cataclysmic struggle of life and death. Poverty, mass starvation, political discrimination jand the abrogation of the most ele- mentary human rights have brought European Jewry to the brink of disaster.” The speaker pointed out that while the economic and farm rehabilitation programs of the Soviet are aiding the material welfare of Jews in Russia, “all the gains in the world cannot compen- sate for the cultural annihilation of & people.” The problems affecting American Jewry, with emphasis on discrimination in employment of Jews in industry and commerce, formed an important part of the activities of the American Congress last year, according to Abraham Cohen, | executive director of the Congress. | said. to determine if there is racial dis- crimination in professional schools and colleges in the employment of Jews in | America, or in the economic adjust- { ment which is going on in the country during the depression, Simon E. Sobeloff, United States dis- trict attorney at Baltimore, pald a Bi- centennial tribute to George Washing- ton on behalf of the congress. Nathan D. Perlman, chairman of the Administrative Committee of the con- gress, called attention to the necessity of strengthening the ranks of the con- gress and putting forward an aggressive Lm?m-rsmp In the face of the present crisis. | | SAFE THWARTS ROBBERS A heavy safe was believed to have | thwarted an attempted roboery last night in the Avenue Grand Theater, Pennsylvania avenue between Sixth and Seventh streets southeast. After gaining entrance by forcing 8 rear door, would-be robbers moved the safe several feet, but left without dam- aging it. Police believe the persoms who entered the theater intended car- rying the safe from the building to break it open, but gave up the st- tempt when they found it heavy.

HYATTSVILLE, Md., June 27.—Forty- four persons were arrested and a quan- tity of liquor seized when Prince Georges County police raided four houses and a still in one of the busiest week ends in months. The largest raid was staged at Vista, on the Defense Highway, where 18 col- ored men were arrested, about 25 es- caped, and Constable Willilam Kreitzer received a deep cut over the head in an altercation with one of the prisoners.

District Supreme Court Justice Jesse C. Adkins today refused to terminate at this time the receivership of the Shoreham Hotel. The court said the decision was without prejudice to the renewal of the application of the Shoreham Hotel Co. for the discharge of the receivers. John E. Laskey, Spencer Gordon and Francis H. Duehay were appointed re- ceivers January 27, 1931, and are in charge of the properties. To the claim court replied that both the receivers and the court may be relied upon to see that the ultimate fees paid to the receivers are fair and reasonable com- pensation for their service. The court expressed the view it would be dangerous to remove the receivers at this time for the reason that prac- tically all available funds would neces- sarily be applied to the discharge of obligations incurred by the receivers, leaving the hotel company without nec- essary operating capital and unable to meet liabilities incurred prior to the receivership. It was pointed out by the court that the plan of the Noteholders’ Committee is not formally before it in this pro- ceeding. Confidence in the members of the committee was expressed. It is understood the committee contemplates seeking foreclosure as promptly as may be possible. To date, out of total issues of $2,750,000 of notes secured on the roperties, slightly more than $2,400,000 ?llve been deposited with the com- mittee.

Prop- erty Involved in Suit of Capt. Shanley. Secretary of War Hurley today won, | in the District Court of Appeals, his appeal from a decision of the District | Supreme Court, which had granted a | mandatory injunction requiring him to | return to John H. Shanley, a captain in the Quartermaster Corps, $1.950 | which had been deducted from his pay in payment of a large quantity of | stores unaccounted for while he was |on duty at Fort Slocum, N. Y., in | 1923 and 1924. In reversing the decision of the lower | court Justice Wililam Hitz pointed out that although that tribunal held an officer's pay may not be stopped with- out specific authority, there was no Government property involved in those | cases. The present case, he holds, is governed by section 1304 of the revised | statutes, which permits the deduction from pay of officers responsible for | missing commissary stores. The Court of Claims is the proper tribunal to handle the officer’s case, the court ruled. It directed the lower court | to dismiss the bill of the officer with- out prejudice to his right to proceed in the Court of Claims. e WOMAN WINS VERDICT Gets $7,500, Husband Given $200 in Court of Appeals Decision.
