FEDERAL AID HELD IMPERATIVE Chairman McReynolds of Welfare Board Says Emer- gency Continues. The District of Columbia relief needs for the new fiscal year begin- ning Monday cannot be cared for un- less local funds are “supplemented by Federal aid for relief as well as work,” according to Frederick W. McRey- nolds, chairman of the Board of Public Welfare. Speaking last night at a meeting of the Public Welfare Association at the American Red Cross auditorium, where Mr. McReynolds said this city was still operating on an “emergency basis,” but must now “plan for a long- time steady program.” “We cannot hope to continue the rate of relief per family at an average of $30 per month,” he declared. “More adequate support will be necessary for those unemployables who will be more or less permanent charges on our funds.” “Great Change” Forecast. The future for relief here was pic- tured by McReynolds as due for a “great change” in view of the fact that Federal emergency funds are to be tapered off, and “the administration is turning its back on a relief pro- gram.” “Old age pensions with five years of residence required will be a great help,” he said. “Blind pensions will make a small difference, assistance for families with a mother at the head | will affect a great many of our families, and so free funds to extend to some of those needy employable families.” Activities of three private welfare and relief agencies were discussed by | Dr. H. J. Crosson, president of Catho- | lic Charities, who presided as presi- | dent of the Public Welfare Associa- | tion; by Dr. Anrson Phelps Stokes, | president of the Family Service Asso- | ciation, formeily the Associated Charities, and by Mrs. Harry 8. Lewls, vice president of the Jewish Social Service Agency. Several questions designed to clarify the picture of public and private relief here were asked by members of the panel of distinguished citizens and answered by the speakers of the eve- ning by a corps cf executives of the agercies concerncd. The panel asking questions inciuded Mrs. Lloyd M. Biadle, president of the District of Columbia Federation of Women's Clubs; Clarence Fhelps Dodge president of the Community Chest; Dr. William A. White, super- intencent of St. Ehzabeth’s Hospital; Sanford Bates, dire-tor of the Bureau of Prisons, Depariment of Justice, and George Beasley, cclored, president of the Federation of Civic Associaticns. Questions Are Answered. In addition to the speakers of the evening the executves answering questions included Miss M. Alice Hill, director of the Putiic Assistance Divi- sion; William H. Ssvin, general secre- tary of the Family Service Associa- tion; Miss Florence A Murray. case supervisor of the Catholic Charities, and Morris Klass, executive secretary of the Jewish Social Service Agency. Mr. ponted out that the great change due in the District’s 1elief problem was coming because uf the new Federal program. Under the plan, not fully disclosed in detail as yet, he explained, 1t is to be “one of work with earnings based on a man’s or woman’s ability to earn rather than cn the amount neeced in the famly group.” in addition to a:tual funds for eco- nomic relief, Mr. McReynolds enipha- sized. “Close to 5,000 of the famihes on relief are classified as unemployables,” he said. Since some of these can fit into the new Federal work program, obvicusly they raust he the first obli- gation on our two million dollars. The present basis on which we are giving | relief shows the average amount re- ceived by a family is approxunately $30 a month. This would mean $150,- 000 a month needed for unemploy- ables and leaving én impossibly small amount of the fund tor the very im-~ portant item of admipistration and social service to these families.” 2,300 Relief Fasilies. On the relief rolls now, he ex- plained, there are 2,300 families whose present relief budget exceeds ths earn- ings for unskilled workers on ine new | program of $45 2 month. Dr. Crosson reported that “while the public relief program has lifted from the shoulders of the Catholic Charities that excessive burden which at one time threatened to completely submerge our orpanization, we find we still are faced with needs which tax to the limit our resources, hoth of finances and personnel * Dr. Stokes surveyed the history of the Family Service Association, for- meriy the Associated CLarities, telling how it bore a heavy load—the “major burder. of mass 1elief in the Dis- trict” from 1929 to 1§32. He paid high tribute to the Communty Chest. At the present time, he said, the Family Service Association is spend- ing about $2,000 a month for relief, but had overspent $10,000 on the re- lief budget prior to relaxation of the Government’s regulations in March. Mrs. Lewis, vice president of the Jewish Social Service Agency, said there was hope that, “with the sepa- ration of employablés from the un- employables on the rolls of the public agency, that the Public Assistance Di- vision will be able to maintain higher relief standards and a smaller case load.™ Among the questions asked by the panel, Dr. White sharply quizzed speakers on requirements of the public relief, declaring he thought some of the regulations for reduction in housing before relief was available were “ridic- ulous.” He was told by Miss Hill of the Public Assistance Division that the regulations he referred to had been re- laxed, but that such restrictions work on the idea that families “must reduce their standard of living ‘o that the reduced income would indicate” be- fore relief can be given. ‘The question of reported “chiseling” on relief was raised by Beasley on the panel. “We hear much about chisel- ers on relief,” he said. “To what extent?” In reply Miss Hill declared reports of this nature were “very much over- estimated.” Elwood Street, director of public welfare, explained plans under way for study groups during the coming season, American Singer Is Signed.

Yates of Georgia Tech finished 1 down to Ed White of Texas University at the halfway mark today in the 36- hole semi-final match for the inter- collegiate golf championship at the Congressional Country Club. Freddie Haas of Louisiana State was 1 up on John Fischer of Michigan State at the thirteenth hole in the other semi- final contest. Yates and White both bagged birdies on the eighteenth hole to halve. ‘White finished with a medal score of 72, level par, while Yates was a stroke higher. White went into the lead with a birdie 3 on the ninth after they finished the first nine all square, and Yates squared the contest with a par 3 at the 225-yard fourteenth. They split the fifteenth in 5's. White went into the lead on the six- teenth with a 12-foot putt for a 3, while Yates missed one half that length for a half. Yates Blows Short Putt. Yates blew a 3-footer to win the seventeenth, after both were trapped on their second shots, enabling for a half. Yates holed a 20-foot putt for a bird 3 on the eighteenth after driving onto the tenth tee, and White holed an 8-footer for the half. They went to lunch with White 1 up. | Fischer dropped the tenth and eleventh holes in & row to Haas, after they had finished the first nine square. All Even on First Nine. Yates and White finished the first nine holes all even, with White out in 36 with the aid of a conceded eagle on the eighth and Yates out in even par 37. Fischer and Haas likewise were all square at the ninth hole, with both out in 38, one above par. Fischer's putter was working badly. He 3-putted the fcurth and seventh greens, and Haas’ chip shot stymied him on the ninth, when the tall Michigan boy had a 15-footer for a birdie. His putt hit the cup but jumped out. Fischer went into a lead at the third, but Haas won it back again at the fourth and took a lead at the seventh, only to drop the eighth to Pischer. Yates 3-putted the opening hole to lose, and lest the second to a par 4 by White. But the champion came back with & birdie 3 on the fourth and squared the match with a winning par 4 on the seventh, where White 3-putted. White came out of the rough with a great iron shot for an eagle 3 on the eighth to take the lead, only to have Yates come back with a birdie 2 on the ninth to square again. —_— Porters Choose Brotherhood.
