“STORM GOES NORTH AFTER HEAVY SNOW Increased Demands for Re- } lief Arise—Transit Sys- tem Crippled.

Az ‘the storm continued unabated, ad- ditional men were recruited from the ranks of the unemployed, and by after- noon 800 had been put to work in the shovel brigades. J. B. Gorden, sanitary engineer of the District, who supervised the snow- I-moval program, announced that ac- tivities would be resumed at 7 o'clock this morning, and that by tomorrow he expected all of the principal streets to be released from the grip of the snow. The transportation systems did not begin to feel the effect of the storm until about 8 o'clock in the morning, but from that time until late last night cars were tied up sporadically on virtu- ally every line in the District. The trouble was caused by plows catching 1in the ice-coated underground slots and sutomobiles packing snow on the rails. Cars of the Fourteenth street line were tied up for an hour during the afternoon because the slippery condi- tion of the rails prevented safe ascen- sion of the grade north of Florida ave- nue, Northbound traffic on the Chevy Chase line of the Capital Traction Co. was tied up two hours when a car| Jumped the track at Porter street. Automobiles stalled by the scores last night. A. A. A. Answers 850 Calls. ‘The American Automobile Association responded to calls for aid from approxi- mately 850 motorists. These calls showed the progress of the storm. In the morning most of the motorists could not start their cars. The ma- Jority of calls in the afternoon were from drivers seeking assistance in put- ting on chains and last night virtually all of the calls came from motorists who were stalled in the snow. Automobile drivers unable to climb the grade on Connecticut avenue, north of Florida avenue, caused a serious Jam early in the afternoon. Welfare agencles supported by the Community Chest worked on an emer- ency basis to provide food and fuel or needy familles. The principal calis were for fuel. All the District offices of the Asso- ciated Charities were kept open beyond the regular closing time. The Catho- lic Charities and the Sewation Army also worked overtime. Fuel for Sick Fasilies. In view of the emergenty, drivers of coal trucks maintained deliveries late into the night, and some of them pre- pared to work all night. Sickness in a number of families made the situa- tion acute, and these were the first supplied with fuel. The missions and shelters, however, were not as overtaxed as anticipated, since many of the mén who seek re- lief at these places earned money shoveling snow in fropt of private homes and purchased meals in restaurants. Adjt. Gilbert Decker of the Salvation Army said there had been few appli- cants for aid. and that the emergency home had accommodations for all who | applied At the Central Union Mission, 498 mer were fed, which is about the aver- age number for a Winter's day. Con- tinued cold weather, however, is ex- pected to add to the gravity of the situation. Director Gordon reported after re- viewing progress made during the day of intensive operations that cléaring of the thoroughfares was “well in hand.” | With a full day of progress, freed of | the week-day handicap of the traffic | congestion and automobile parking of | the downtown workers and shoppers, | Mr. Gordon said he believed the major | streets would be shipshape by Monday | morning, barring an unforeseen con- dition. The snowstorm, though adding to the distress of the destitute families of the city, provided temporary work for 800 unemployed who were on the rolls | of the Emergency Relief Committee, | and it was expected more would answer the call to work today. There are about 2,500 men on these lists of unemployed and thus there are 1,700 potential workers who may enlist in the snow-removal work today, in addition to the 800 enrolled yesterday. Mr. Gordon's last official tabulation, made at the close of the regular day yesterday, showed that there were 1,614 iaborers at work then. He expected some additional men would report later. The men are being worked about 8| hours a day and some were on the job until midnight. Expect Effective Work Today. | In addition to the laborers, the Dis- trict yesterday employed 142 manned trucks, 43 snow plows and 7 snow loaders in the work. In addition to this| equipment, the street car companies kept their snow sweepers in operation, covering tracks at frequent intervals. With traffic expected to be at & minimum today, due to the Sabbath and the difficulty of traveling, District offi- cials expected that more effective work would be accomplished by their army | of workmen. | Pay for the snow-cleaning force was | expected to come from two sources. Those workmen recruited from the ranks of the unemployed, on the rolls | of the Relief Committee, may be paid out of funds of the Emergency Relief Committee, some officials anticipated. ‘The workmen drawn from the roster of the per diem force of the District, assigned to the refuse, water and sewer | departments, were to be paid out of the | funds of the street-cleaning appropria- tion. This depletion of these funds, it was expected, would result in the sub- | mission to Congress of a deficiency ap- | propriation item to cover the total. The extra force of men, Mr. Gordon | said, are not being paid daily, but probably would receive their wages next Saturday. The emergency snow-removing work would cost between $6,000 and $10,000 a day, Mr. Gordon estimated, on the basis of the 2,000 men at work yesterr day evening, and making an allowance for the cost of operating the motor equipment. Members of the unemployed on the temporary snow-cleaning force were to be paid 35 cents an hour under arrange- ments yesterday. The regular District per diem men are to receive $3.60 a day. R. Hanson Weightman, Weather Bu- Teau forecaster, took occasion last night to compliment’ the District on the ef- ficlent manner in which it attacked the problem of making the downtown streets passable, ‘The snowstorm created the first test for Mr. Gordon as commander of the snow-removal army, an operation di- rected by other District officials.

Former President Hipolito Irigoyen, arrested yesterday, was sent to Martin Garcia Island. Other important leaders such as ex-President Marcelo de Alvear and former Ministers Tamborini and Delle- plane were held incommunicado. It was believed doubtful any radical reaction would occur.

Santelmann retired from | the Marine Corps, in 1927, he was | 1auded by Secretary of the Navy Wilbur as being responsible in a large measure for the upbuilding of the character and | usefulness of the Marine Band. Capt. Santelmann was a native of Germany, having been born in Offen- sen on September 24, 1863. He re- ceived his musical education at the Conservatory at Leipzig and came to ‘Washington when only 24 years old. Served Under Sousa. He first became a member of the Ma- rine Band on September 24, 1887, when John Philip Sousa was leader and he was under the direction of the famous bandmaster for about five years. In 1895 he resigned to become leader of a theater orchestra here, but three years later he returned to accept the lead- ership of the Marine Band. A year before he came to this coun- try he had been married to Miss Clara Becke of Zirkon, Germany. One of his sons, William, served as a violinist un- apt. Santelmann in the Marine Ban Capt. Santelmann obtained his com- mission as ;‘fpuln and his retirement papers at tHe same time, in 1927, for although he had received the pay and allowances of a captain for some time prior to retirement, he did not get the commission until a special act of Con- was passed in 1927. But for this act of Congress, the famous musician would have been retired with only the ranking of an enlisted man. Capt. Santelmann was a member of Lebanon Lodge, F. A. A. M., Hiram Chapter, R. A.

Persia took the action about two weeks ago, charging the company had failed to make royalty returns uj which the Persiap government counted for some 'years as & echief source of revenue. Rumors that Britain had sent crui- sers up the Persian Gulf and that Persia had threatened to blow up the company’s plants, proved false, al- though British ships had been in the gulf waters on itine. - CAPT.

CABINET TASK ACCEPTED. | Paul-Boncour Seeks to Form “Union of Left Parties.” By the Associated Press. PARIS, December 17.—Convinced that negotiations with the United States on the war debt problem should be pur- sued, Joseph Paul-Boncour tonight defi- nitely accepted the task of forming a new French ministry. M. Paul-Boncour at the same time expressed his belief the government is bound by the vote of the Chamber of Deputies which resulted in the Tesigna- tion of Premier Herrlot's cabinet and by which France failed to pay its war debts installment due December 15. It is generally expected, however, that as soon as the new ministry can function smoothly it will give thorough consideration to the debt situation and to relations with the United States par- ticularly if M. Paul-Boncour will be the new prime mmm’, as is generally expected. The ideal in perfecting the new min- istry, the premier-cesignate said, is that of forming & “union of the Left parties.” M. Paul-Boncour was first elected to the Chamber of Deputies as an inde- pendent Socialist when he was only 33 yedrs old. Sees Herriot Again. | The premier-designate notified Presi- | dent Lebrun of his decision to under- take the formation of & new ministry | late today and said he would spend | Sunday preparing his cabinet. His _ decision. however, came only | after he had consulted once more with | M. Herriot, who earlier in the day had declined a post in the new ministerial combination. | “Despite my insistence to M. Herriot, whom I esteem the most qualified to continue a policy which has not suf- fered any blow from the result of the last vote, M. Herriot has felt himself able only to encourage me in the task | which President Lebrun has confided to me and to assure me of his precious support,” M. Paul-Boncour asserted. He had wished to form a ministry with Socialist participation, he said, | in order to form a large union of the Left, which is “more than ever neces- sary in the international and budgetary circumstances.” Socialists Unable to Accept. The Socialists, while expressing sym- pathy for the effort he will make as premier, could not accept his offer, M | Paul-Boncour added. | “I am going to seek to constitute as rapidly as possible a government which by its composition and program will serve as efficaciously as it can this union of the Left, which has always been the rule of my political life,” he added. | “By this union, I hope, our country | will be permitted to surmount the pres- ent difficulties,” M. Paul-Boncour said. | This cabinet, he continued, will be | a “union of the Left parties.” But without the Socialists, who will not participate, the ministry will be some- | what that of the resigned Herriot | cabinet. Possible Cabinet Make-Up. It was sald in some circles that M.| Paul-Boncour's ministry might include the following: Premier and foreign affairs—Joseph | Paul-Boncour, o Lnterlor—Former Premier Theodore | eeg. | Justice—Camille Chautemps. ’ War—Edouard Daladier. Finance—Louis de Chappedelaine or Georges Bonnet. Budget—Francois Pietri. Air—Laurent Eynac. Merchant marine—Albert Sarraut. Public_health—Phillippe Marcombes. Agriculture—Marcel Donon. Undersecretary for public works— Anatole de Monzie. Colonies—Andre Hesse. Labor—Albert Dalimier or Paul Mar- chandeau. In Herriot's cabinet De Monzie was | minister of education, Dalimier, min- ister of labor, and Marchandeau was undersecretary for the premiership. Debt Problem Set Aside. M. Paul-Boncour, one of the great- est orators in France, at the recent dedication of the monument at Meaux the war dead, made possible by contributions of many thousands of American citizens, gave one of the best ‘nnd shortest speeches of his career. When congratulated on it, he said ;:nlybe it was good because it was win He is one of the most celebrated lawyers in Paris and has pleaded many famous cases. Meanwhile the trouble- j ome debt problem appeared to be dropping out of the picture, as the center of the political stage was held by the formation of the cabinet and the agreement of the premier-designate. Sources close to him declared that the debts problem and particularly the relations of France with the United States will be earnestly examined at the earliest possible opportunity.

The National Radio Forum is arranged by The Washington Star and broadcast over the network of the National Broadcasting Co. The reorganization of the Govern- ment departments has been brought to the attention of the country by the issuance of 11 executive orders by President Hoover making many trans- fers of bureaus. These orders are be- fore Congress now and have aroused opposition in some quarters. Senator Bingham, as chairman of the Economy | Committee, which is made up of rank- ing members of the Appropriations Committee, has given the question of reorganization much study. The plat- forms of the Republican and Democratic parties both call for reorganization of | the Government departments in the in. terest of economy and efficiency.
