MALINGERING HIT IN'RELIEF REPORT Payment of Less Than Wages Advised for New York City. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, July 8—Recom- mendations that relief workers be paid less than the wages in private industry, that “chiselers and para- sites” receiving $24,000,000 a year of relief funds be prosecuted and that wextensive carpetbagging” by out-of- town relief executives be halted were made public yesterday by counsel to the recent aldermanic relief investi- gation. Lloyd Paul Stryker, counsel to the committee, submitted to the alder- men a 206-page report, reviewing the testimony at the hearings, including that of “boondoggling” and other white-collar projects, and making 48 recommendations. Would Increase Gift. Among them were: “Allowances for individuals and families on home relief rolls should be increased so as to correspond with practical necessities. They should not be based, as at the present time, on budgets which are the result of theoretical research.” The typical weekly allowance to a single person to meet every need was reported as $730 a week, ranging upward for families to $19.50 for a family of nine. The number of persons on relief was reported as 1,400,000 “No persons should henceforth be added to the relief rolls unless they have been bona fide residents and citizens of New York for a time prior to the depression.” Would Oust Malingerers. “Every needy unemployed person to whom work is offered either in the relief program or by a private em- ployer, who arbitrarily refuses to accept such employment should have his or her name stricken from the relief rolls.” “Persons should be encouraged to accept temporary private employment and reinstatement to relief rolls should be simplified.” _ “Projects involving academic re- search should not be undertaken until the home relief division is properly staffed. It is more important to have a sufficient number of investi- gators to weed out chiseling and to compile a central index and occu- pational records than it is to make maps of the antiquities.” FAIRFAX CHAMBER 70 HOLD ELECTION Discussion of Rural Electrifica- tion Also Before Meeting Tomorrow.

DETROIT, July 8.—Frederick Wal- ter, 42-year-old German-American whose professed ambition is to “walk” across the English Channel, said yesterday he conquered Lake St. Clair, a distance of 52 miles, on his homemade pontoons. Walter's journey on the water #kiis, which he admits was for “ad- vertising purposes,” started from Stag Island, 6 miles below Sarnia, Ontario, Friday at 6 am. Before the arrival on Belle Isle, which he said he reached about midnight Saturday, ‘Walter had been reported drowned, missing and rescued by a motor boat. He was a bit disgruntled because of things which happened during his crossing. Walter said “some police officers from the American side” ques- tioned him at length and then ‘“ex- perimented” with his apparatus by whirling around him in a speed boat “trying to upset me.” ‘Walter said the officers became con- vinced his pontoons were in good order and left him to continue the trip. “I'm going to walk the English Channel in September,” Walter de- clared. ‘Walter, who says he cannot swim, expressed the hope he might be able to attract enough attention by his ex- ploits to go “into the manufacture of water pontoons.” New York.

Routine in “golf house,” with its 25 servants, remained unchanged, with any birthday observance barred. The nonagenarian’s son, John D. Rockefeller, jr., spent the day with him. “He hasn't felt years,” the son said. His dentist, Dr. Max Goldstein, reported that the annual examina- tion showed his 19 natural teeth still sound, with no need for fillings, drillings or extractions. Fortune Gigantic. The birthday marked the eightieth year since the start of the business career that carried Mr. Rockefeller from the possession of nothing to the possession of estimated billions. The actual size of his fortune has never been revealed. At 16 he started work as an as- sistant bookkeeper in a produce com- mission warehouse in Cleveland at $50 2 month. At 96 he is long re- jtired from business activity and has | behind him the amassing of what many believe to be the greatest riches ever controlled by an individual, and the philanthropic disposal of a half billion dollars. New York representatives of the family said last night that Mr. Rocke- feller is looking forward to going to his home at Pocantico Hills, N. Y., at an early date. better in many CLARENDON BAPTISTS TO BEGIN EXTENSION $35,000 Project for Church First of Three in Long-Range Im- provement Plan. By & Staff Correspondent of The Star.

By the Associated Press RICHMOND, Va, July 8—The 4-H Club camp at Jamestown, scheduled to open today, has been postponed on advice of Dr. I. C. Riggin, State health commissioner. Those in charge of the camp asked the department for advice and were told that as a precaution against in- fantile paralysis they probably should not allow so many young people to congregate together at that point. “There is no change in the infan- tile paralysis situation in the State,” Dr. Riggin said. “Since July 1 the number of cases has increased throughout the State from 52 to 64. I did, however, advise them not to hold the 4-H camp.” Russell liaby Now Heir to Barony as Lord Ampthill Dies Child, Granted Legiti- macy by Mother’s Court Plea, Becomes Peer. By the Associated Press.

The jury disagreed. In a retrial in March, 1923, Russell was granted a decree nisi, but Mrs. Russell appealed, lost, then took the case to the House of Lords where her appeal was allowed in May, 1924. Two years later the boy, through his mother as guardian, brought ac- tion to obtain the formal declaration of his legitimacy, establishing the right of his succession to the barony. ‘The court declared Geoffrey “the law- ful child of his parents.” snow WIRIIIS | | STAR, WASHINGTON, BARTENDERS BAR BARMAIDS' BEER District Drink Mixers Reor- ganize “0ld 75” and Also Ban Saloon. District bartenders yesterday de- cided barmaids should be read about in English novels and not seen mixing crinks in Washington, and initiated 40 new men into the mysteries of the Bronx and the Blue Blazer. Pleased at the prospect of working in the open, the barmen held a re- | organization meeting of “Old 75,” the Lartenders’ union which flourished Lere until 1917, and launched a cam- paign to replace girls behind bars with men. John T. Hurley, a stage hand, named to head the organized drink mixers, made this promise: “The old-time form of the saloon had many evils, and I will do every- thing in my power to prevent its return. The present rule requiring drinkers to sit down before they can be served automatically eliminates many of the saloon’s worst features.” “Oid 75" is affiliated with the Waiters and Cooks’ Union. Hurley was for 27 years a member of the Stage Hands’ Union and was the chief organizer of the bartenders, although he never served a drink himself. | More than 50 more bartenders are to be initiated at next Sunday's meet- ing at heacquarters, 720 Fifth street. | Other officers named yesterday ln-i clude Harry W.

ALL KANSAS OWNERS OF FARMS OFF RELIEF Welcome Rain and State Loan Agency Combine to Put 16,000 | on Road to Normalcy. By the Associated Press. TOPEKA, Kans,, July 8—Rain and the State Homestead Rehabilitation | Corp. have removed all Kansas farm owners from relief rolls. Crops and live stock thrive with ade- quate moisture after five dry years capped this Spring by severe dust- storms. Of 16,000 drought-stricken and dis- couraged rural families sustained last Fall by public funds, 6,000 have won | their way back to economic normalcy today, and the 10,000 others are head- ed for that goal under the impetus of | loans and expert advice from the Re- | habilitation Corp., directed by Raub | Snyder. “The usual loan.” Snyder said, “is made upon a man’s present assets. Under recent difficult economic con- ditions many a farmer was solvent, but not liquid—he had assets he | couldn’t borrow further on. These | loans are based upon the future.” The 10,000 families have been ad- vanced an average of $485 on a 12- | month budget, to be repaid over a varying period with 5 per cent in- terest.
