DECLARES CRISIS MENAGES RELIGION Rev. R. J. Clinchy, in Sermon, Criticizes Congress Pol- icy on District. The crisis in health, welfare and edu- | eation which confronts Washington is also a threat to religion. Rev. Russel J. Clinchy declared yesterday irom the pulpit of the Mount Plcasant Congre- gational Church d as a fallacy the religious fan's extremity is God's op- portunity,” and asserted that religion for ages “has been under th» bonaage ot the delusion that en emaciated body n mind is a moie fertile | tual appreciation than a d body and a mind that nd at home in the world.” . Clinchy called attention to the tened breakdown of privat: family re agencies. the inadequacy of funds from public appropriations for | Fmergency Relief, and the growing dis- | tress among the unemployed. | “Jesus came to make men whole.” Dr. Clinchy said. “He did not believe for a minute that a blind man, a lame man. a sick man or a man with a diseased mind provided a greater op- portunity for God than a whole an healthy man." Charity Plight Described. Pointing cut that tie Associated Charities in Washington will be out of funds at the present rate of ex- penditure by August 1, Dr. Clinchy said that “this organization is simply counting on the possibility of transfor- ring to the Board of Public Welfare a lerge n of current dependent it believes are prcperly the responsibility of the public author- 1ties Dr. Clinchy declared “every one of the other organizations in the Com- munity which also ministers to relief in various areas of life. is facing exactly this same situation, and unless thev refuse to give the adequate relief that is needed, their funds, also, will be exhausted by Summer.” The speaker called attention to the fact that nationally the country has met the emergency by spending seven times as much for relief from public funds as from private gifts. while Wash- ington lags far benind in this respect. “In 1932 he continued. “67 per cent of the funds for relief came from pri- vate sources and only 33 per cent from public funds “The totai number of applicants for relief red by the Emergency n to date is 20,000. The milies receiving relief dur- s 7.062 “The average amount of relief during 2% per family. end the average family was 4.3 individuals.” Dr. Clinchy declared that an adequate budget for such de:titute families should be $21.15 per week. if something is provided for clothing and household supplies and something for health and recreatio “On “the Senate District _bill one and proverb. \ 28.” Dr. Clinchy continued committee reported the approving an amount of half million dollars. The will therefore be short dollars in even granting in- aceq lief for the coming year.” With regard to education, Dr. Clinchy i re are actually not enough school buildings and school rooms: not ugh teachers: mnot enough visers: not enough playgrounds are not talking about China. We are talking about the Capital of one of the three or four great nations of the world. It is not the comm council of some fourth-rate city which will not provide an adequate education, it is, the Congress of the United States. which will not provide out of the taxes of District citizens an_adequate edu- cational system for the children of ‘Washington. The crisis in education is acute.” 10 CHILDREN ARE KILLED BY IMPERFECT VACCINE Many Others in Two Italian Prov- inces Are Ill—Institute at Naples Is Closed. B the Ascociated Press ROME. May 1.—Ten children under 10 years of age have died during the last three days in the provinces of Venice and Rovigo as the result of vac- cination with imperfect vaccine and many others are seriously ill from the same cause.

Sanchez Cerro died soon after being taken to an operating room. One bullet struck him in or very wear the heart The body of the 43-year-old Presi- dent. a life-long soldier who saw fight- inz in several Peruvian revolts, in war- fare against Bolivia and in the Spanish Foreign Legion against the Moors, lay in state today in the Madrugada palace chapel. It will be moved later to the cathedral. Gen. Sanchez Cerro was shot and clightly wounded a year ago in Mira- flores by a member of an oppositioi party. He laughed abcut that attempt on his life and friends feared his fear- | less attitude would again endanger his | life. | The President was waving his hand and bowing to the crowd when he was shot down shortly after noon vesterday. Capt. Bedoya of the presidential guard said he saw the assassin, dressed in black, approach the car but thcught he intended to cheer the President. Then -he suddenlv whipped cut the pistol and started firing. Disorder immediately broke out. Shooting continued in the excitement and many arrests were made. The President was rushed to a hospital, where serum injections and other re- storatives failed to revive him Sanchez Cerro touched off the 1930 revolution in Peru which ended the re- gime of Augusto Leguia. but his junta government was soon cverthrown. San- chez Cerro sought refuge in Europe, but returned to be elected President in Oc- tober, 1921. Experierice in Bolivia. He received his first battle experience more than a score of years ago cn the Bolivian front. He was wounded in a cevolt in 1912, when he led an attack on the paface of President Billinghurst Sanchez Cerro initiated a number of revolts in 1919 and was wcunded again in & military rebellion in 1922, Then he went abroad for several years, serving in the Spanish Fcreign Legion, the Italian Army and contin- uing military studies in France. The President’s assassin was dascribed as 35 years old. a former newspaper reporter and a member of the Ap:ista party. The assassin’s body was taken to_the sixth police station. The Aprista party was involved in the recent unsuccessful revolution at Cajamarca led by Maj. Gustavo Jiminez, who committed suicide after his fol- lowers were defeated in a four-hour battle. A sailors’ revolt at Trujillo last vear also disturbed the Sanchez Cerro government. Gen. Benavides, a former Provisional | President, took the oath of office short- ly before midnight. He is to serve until July 28, 1936. In a skort speech he said yesterday's crime “deprived the country of one of its most notable men.” He said he be- longed to no political party and his program would be to procure and estab- lish harmony in the Peruvian nation and to “endeavor to solve the interna- tional problem (with Colombia) pa-' triotically.” He sent a message to the army, saluting its officers and soldiers as “defenders of the national soil.” The Peruvian cabinet agreed to con- tinue temporarily until a new ministry is appointed.

By the Associated Press. ‘The sclection of Gen. Oscar Bena- result of the assassination of President Sanchez Cerro, was regarded in diplomatic circles here today as a logical step. At the same time, the Latin Ameri- can diplomats were spéculating as .to the possible effect of President Cerro's assassination upon the hostilities be- tween Peru and Colombia over posses- sion of the port of Leticia. Benavides is known in Washington as a military man of broad experience An anti-Leguista, he spent years of exile in Europe and came from his post as Minister in London recently to take supreme charge of the Peruvian army ;rd navy in the conflict with Colom- 1a He visited briefly in Washington en route to confer with Ambassador Freyre v Santander. The general is known here as a con- servative and moderate man. and to him have been attributed declarations that the political prisoners of Peru un- der Sanchez Cerro should be released Many of these are Apristas who have not been favorable to the conduct of the war with Colombia over possession of the Amazon port of Leticia.

Before being Minis- | ter in London, he was Minister in Madrid Information in Washington is that Venavides did not resign as Minister | to London when he went to Lima this time. but asked leave of absence to| lend his country the benefit of his mil- | itary experience. The effects of the assassination on the hostile dispute over the port of Laticia caused much speculation here.

Offer of League. ‘The League of Nations later pro- | posed to neutralize Colombian forces | in the corridor and thus patrol *he territory pending settlement of the dis- pute, urging Peru to retire. This San- chez Cerro also rejected. More recently Colombia rejected a leaguc proposal to scnd an - entircl: aeutral force to ratrol the territory and has steadily progressed with milt movements to force Peru from corridor. Colombia and Peru severed relations some months ago after a fight between | Peruvians and Cclombians at Tarapaca, in the Colombian section of the tegri- | | tory.

C, MONDAY, JOBLESS ARMY KEEPS ON MOVE, - SHUNTED Cornell Graduate Describes Wanderers Unable to Claim Home. Trainmen’s Sympathy Eases Harshness of Plight; Radicals Scarce. Like the Wandering Jew, whose doom was to “walk and never rest,” they must keep moving, shivering in freight cars and shunted from cjty to city. Food tp them is any morsel that can be begged or purloined during brief halts, shelter means a limited stay in a jail or “flop house,” and home signi- fies less even than legal residence in some community or State. But the tattered army of jobless must keep on the go. Banned from high- ways of many States, they lay in wait for trains in the great freight yards of Chicago. Detroit, New York, bum- ming East, West, North and South, still hopeful of reaching a common goal—+a | place where work can be had. ‘The harshness of their plight is soft- ened somewhat by the sympathy of trainmen, in the opinion of Willlam T. Brown graduate, just back from a “free” trip to_Chicago. : Young Brown, who lost his job with an engineering firm here two years ago and has been unable to find employ- ment since, hitch-hiked and rode freights to and from Chicago. where he went to confer with University of Chicago officials in regard to a movement for unemployed vouth. Halted at Cumberland. He got only as far as Cumberland. Md. however, by hitch-hiking. There he spent a day beside the highway in a vain effort to “flag” westward-bound motorists. But motorists on trunk highways are too wary these days to pick up strangers. Brown had no choice but to catch a freight train. his first. At Newcastle. Pa., a policeman spotted the amateur hobo and chased him off the train. Brown made his way to Chicago by way of Cleveland, “thumbing” rides with motorists or catching freights After several days in Chicago. he spent more than 12 hours, after he turned homeward. locating an eastbound freight in the maze of traffic of the South Chicago yards.

Thus few were eligible for home charity, nor could they remain long in any city, already taxed by the demands ot destitute residents. Share Scraps of Food. ‘The hoboes shared with the novice such scraps of food as they had been able to provide against the long con- | | inement as the train rattled eastward | A few raw pctatoes, crusts of bread, a hunk of stale sausage. a few oranges from a broken packing case—these things were shared with surprising gen- | erosity. The men rode in groups of five or six, cramped within compartments at either end of refrigerator cars. They chose loaded cars. which rode easier. and alighted in the great torminal vards at Harrisburg. Pa. to change trains and visit the hobo “jungle” beside the tracks. Here campfires blazed under great pots of “community” coffec, and at least 100 men gnawed their scraps of food and drank coffee from tin cans. Brown was admitted to the circle and shared its_meager resources. Brown later caught another freight out of Harrisburg. arriving here Sat- urday night—a little over two days MAY 1, 1933. out of Chicago. Learning from the hoboes and semi-bums, he forsook the highway and came entirely by freight, much more comfortably and quickly than on the way out. Brown's kecnest impression, be said, was the large number of men among his fellow transients who knew a trade and were really hunting work. They were forced to travel with bums and tramps, and to adopt their way of living off the country, because, as men with no legal residence, they could get no relief while looking for work Finds Few Radicals. “There was surprisingly little bitter- ness,” Brown said, “and almost no Communists or disgruntled radicals. Al- most every man was confident that presently he would find a job, and this hope kept him going more than that held out by radicals, preaching so- cial upheaval Each, Brown, said, felt he could free himself by his own volition from the vicious circle that had caught him up and kept him moving, always moving on.
