SHIFTS STILL LEAVE 10,000 CASES ON ROLLS Officials Have No Assurance Works Projects Will Con- tinue Beyond April. Uncertainty as to how long the pro- gram of the Works Progress Adminis- tration will continue, under Federal appropriations now available, arose yesterday to give District officials new concern over their relief problem. Present estimates are the W. P. A. program will continue in full force until about March 15 or April 1. Dis- trict officials have been given no as- surance of those dates. The program may last longer or may end sooner. Commissioner George E. Allen, Dis- trict relief administrator, said yester- day, he did not know just how long it would be. The major point here is that some 10,000 cases of need have been trans- ferred from the District relief list to the W. P. A. banner. Others are being transferred as fast as Federal money becomes available. At the latest count, there were some 10,000 cases still on the District relief list. Between 2,000 and 3,000 now are being transferred to the new works program, but they will not get their pay under W. P. A. until December 18. Should the Federal W. P. A. pro- gram end next March 15 or April 1, or even at a later date, the relief program carried by that agency would come back, to a large extent, at least, | on the District, officials explained yes- terday. To date, the Federal Government has advanced to the District $5,560,322 for the W. P. A. program here. At the same time, however, Federal agencies have approved District work projects totaling some thousands of dollars more than $7,700,000. Exact figures were not available yesterday. Of the cash warrants so far received by the District, only $1.200,000 has not yet been earmarked for specific and approved projects. Will Seek Relief Fund. Allen is planning to appeal to Con- gress for a supplemental District appro- priation for care of those still on relief and not eligible for the works program, between Jenuary 1 and July 1..de has roughly -estimated the additional amount needed may be $600,000, but this has not been determined finally. Also he is planning an appeal to Congress for an increased District re- lief appropriation for the next fiscal year, beginning July 1. He has roughly figured some $3,200,000 may have to be asked, instead of $1,700,000, which the Commissioners are said to have in- | cluded in the 1937 budget estimates. He arrived at the $3,200,000 figure this way. The District relief appropria- | tion for this year was $2,000,000, be- | ing spent at the rate of $166,666 a month. He is spending for December needs an additional $100,000, which he expects will be repaid by the Federal Emergency Rellef Administration. Thus, if the present load is continued | an extra $100,000 a month will be needed over and above the $166,000 a month out of District revenues. Fed- eral relief aid has been halted. This would indicate the need of $600,000 more for the remainder of this fiscal year and $3,200,000 for the next year, but there has been no decision as yet on these points. Makes Relief Plans. Allen has placed into effect a 25 per cent cut in relief payments—not the W. P. A. program here—for De- cember. He has ordered this restored for the month of January and will cut the “suit to fit the cloth” thereafter, after making an appeal to Congress for extra District appropriations. District officials yesterday amended their figures on what now is the ac- tual average payments for those on relief. The average figure of $30 a month still stands. But officiald ex- plained the average for the families amounts to $39.17 and that the aver- age for single persons on relief has been $11.09. With the 25 per cent cut in effect this month, these figures have been cut to $20.38 for families and $8.32 for single persons. The size of the average family on relief is figured at 3.68 persons. Officials also explained that supple- mentary relief in the form of surplus food commodities, mattresses, towels, wood and some medical aid is being given to relief cases. Commissioner Allen and Leroy A. Halbert, research director for the Dis- trict Relief Administration, however, both declared yesterday that even con- sidering this supplementary relief the conditions of those on relief, even be- fore the 25 per cent cut was ordered for December, to be “deplorable.” They agreed with declarations made by spokesmen for private welfare and civic groups, who appeared before the Commissioners Friday, that persons on yelief faced “slow starvation” if the Commissioners had to continue in ef- fect a 25 per cent cut in relief dis- bursements. WILL ROGERS ESKIMO i SPENDS ALL ON FEAST $87 That Admirers Sent to Man ‘Who Bore News of Crash Lasts Just Three Days. By the Associated Press. BARROW, Alaska, December 7.— Clarke Oakpeha, the Eskimo who ran across the frozen Tundra to give the world news of Will Rogers’ death, spent the $87 he received from Eastern edmirers for food—and it lasted just three days. He invested it all in “grub” and announced “open house to feed all comers.” \ Now his family is hungry again but, Eskimo-style, he'd do it just that way if he were given thousands of dollars, Dr. Henry Greist, Presbyterian medi- cal missionary, said today. “Eskimos are like generous children with a bag of candy,” the doctor ex- plained, \ Above: Three speakers at the Oldest Inhabitants’ Association dinner engage in retrospection, ap- parently much amused.

Suter, honor- ary president of the Society of Na- tives and former president of the Federation of Citizens’ Associations. Clifford K. Berryman, cartoonist of The Star, entertained with early reminiscences of Washington, illus- trated® by his drawings. Familiar With Threat. Col. Kenyon said he was familiar with the “terrible threat of com- munism” because of his work with the Military Intelligence Division of the Army, and for other reasons. He called on every loyal citizen to be on watch “to thwart the insidious and nefarious objects of that unholy group.” “This miserable sect or order comes to the United States,” he said, “with- out invitation with the sole object of overthrowing our Government. If that were not their object, why do they come to a country the form of government of which they abhor?

But it must be admitted Humane Soclety Agent C. H. Jones had good ground for his opinion. When a horse lies in the middle of the street for three hours and stubbornly resists all efforts to get her up, a conclusion that something’s the matter seems plausible enough. It was while Jones was in a nearby store telephoning the home of Bes- sie’s owner for permission to put her out of her misery, that things began to happen, “She's in pretty bad shape” Jones! had just said. “I'm afraid I'll have to shoot her.” Maybe it was a coincidence, but at that point, Bessie gave a vallant heave, scrambled up, lashed out with both hind feet and set off at a dead run down the street with a colored boy dangling from the bridle. Bessie, is a saddle horse and 1is kept in the alley stable of Arthur Cook, colored, near his home in the 400 block of M street. Falls While Exercising. Cook said she fell while a boy had her out for exercise about 4:30 p.m. yesterday. At first it was feared she had broken her leg, but finally Cook attributed to pure stubborness her re- fusal to rise. The crowd that quickly gathered lent willing hands in an effort to lift her to her feet. Bessie took no active part in the matter at ell. She declined to co-operate. Traffic was blocked on M street until she was pulled to the | curb. After about an hour, Jones arrived. | He called police for help. They said they could do nothing. He called Dr, D. E. Buckingham, District veterina- rian, who said he had no facilities for moving the beast. Jones called every | one he could think of who might be of assistance, but with no results. ‘When a reporter and photographer arrived, about 7:15 pm., the offiter was just waiting, convinced the animal was paralyzed, and hoping the owner kill it. “Her hind quarters are paralyzed,” he declared unequivocally. How did he know? Well, he had been around horses a lot and could tell, he said. Fails to Respond. “Nothing the matter with her,” mainteined Oook. He gave another pushed under “Bessie” at a point | about the middle of her spine. “Bes- | sie” didn't even quiver. | Cook changed to the front and | pushed the plank under “Bessie.” She | stirred and seemed displeased. The | operation continued as 50 colored persons grouped about. It was then that “Bessie” leaped up, and the | hoofs. Although her speed was great she didn’t run far—just around the block to her stable. Agent Jones said some medicine he had given her was responsible for her being able to arise. Cook thought it was the timber. “She’ll probably go down again to- night,” said Jones. , “Horses in the fix she’s in don't get well. “It's & shame that there isn't some organization in Washington with fa- cilities to haul a horse like that off the streets.” TOWN HALL SPEAKER SIR NORMAN ANGELL “Why a World Wanting Peace Gets War” Subject of Lec- ture Tonight.

GLENN DALE UNITS WILL BE STARTED Bids for Nurses’ Home to Be Advertised This Week. Five more units of the adult tuber- culosis hospital at Glenn Dale, Md., will be started soon, under orders issued by the District Commissioners. Bids for construction of a nurses’ home will be advertised this week, and within two or three weeks con- tractors will be asked to submit bids for four houses for resident physi- cians. All this werk is to be com- pleted by next July 1. The nurses’ home will' provide hous- ing for about 65 nurses. The cost for this building and certain under- ground work, including heating tun- nels, is estimated to amount to not more than $170,000. After contracts are awarded for these projects, there still will remain to be built an empleyes’ building and an internes’ building. Officials said construction of these two units would depend on final satisfaction of the water supply from the wells now being developed. - The Geological Survey has advised the Commissioners an ample well wa- ter supply will be found available. Engineer Commissioner Dan I Sultan agrees. Secretary of the Interior Ickes, head of the Public Works Ad- ministration, which has lent funds for the sanatorium, has voiced ap- proval of plans followed by the Com- missioners. The deep new well, how- ever, is not yet completed. Until it is, the Commissioners plan to delay awarding contract for the internes’ .and employes’ buildings, merely as a matter of safety, officials said yesterday.

LANGDON AT HORK OND.C PARKPLA Boston Man Is Mapping All Suggestions for Improve- ment of System. A master plan for the park system of the National Capital is now being created, it was learned yesterday, with James G. Langdon of oBston, long active in the de- velopment Langdon's ac- quaintance with the Capital dates from his work on |the McMillan Park Commission of 1901, when he supervised draft- ing work. His present task, the length of which is described as “in- definite,” will be J. G. Langdon. to gather all the suggestions that have been made for the improvement of the park system and map them. A, E. Demaray, associate director of the National Park Service, explained yesterday that the officials are anxious to have ready plans for the improve- ment of all Washington parks, so that they can be made effective at once if more emergency money or labor are provided. Langdon Fills in Detail. Yack of sufficient plans in the past is said to have hampered the work of placing an improvement program in effect without delay. While the Na- tional Capital Park and Planning Commission outlines plans for improve- ment in a broad, general way, Lang- don’s task will be to fill in the details. Langdon is working directly with Malcolm Kirkpatrick, landscape archi- tect, attached to the National Capital Parks, under the superintendent, C. Marshall Finnan. In 1925, when the National Capital Park Commission was being launched, Langdon was considered for appoint- ment as city planner. He played a prominent role in preparing esti- mates and purchasing land for the Rock Creek and Potomac Parkway, & project now nearing realization, Langdon’s Ability Praised. Frank T. Gartside, associate superin- tendent of the National Capital Parks, said yesterday that Langdon “prob- ably knows more about the city of ‘Washington than any other man alive.” Some years ago he was closely associated with the Fine Arts Com- mission. The 1901 Park Commission in its report acknowledged its debt to Lang- don. He assisted materially in study- ing the ground for the selection of proposed park areas, made preliminary studies of them and prepared plans. He was associated with William T. Partridge, who also worked on the 1901 commission, preparing the draw- igns, and who is now consulting archi- teet of the National Capital Park MMW' Civic Group Resolution for Substitute Program in Schools. THOROUGH INQUIRY IN SITUATION ASKED “Modern History” by Becker and Other Texts Discussed With Educators. Elimination of all “communistic propaganda” from the public schools and substitution of a program of en- lightenment on the underlying prin- ciples of the American Government was demanded last night by the Fed- eration of Citizens’ Associations. There was brisk debate, with but one voice heard which questioned whether texts and other material employed in class studies actually gave & pro- communist slant to the topic. The vote on the action was unanimous. Action came on a report by Georg E, Sullivan of steps taken by the Ex- ecutive Committee of the federation, which has appeared before the Board of Education to discuss desirability of elimination from the courses of “Modern History” by Carl L. Becker and other texts “of like character. The committee also has urged giving | & “clear and informative definition | of communism and its evil and atro- | cious aims and purposes.” | and speedy investigation of the “full Thorough nature and extent” of communistic propaganda in the schools also was sought by the group. Against Propaganda. ‘The resolution adopted last night reads: w “Be it resclved by the Federation of | Citizens’ Association of the District of Columbia, that it strongly indorses and commends the steps recently in- | augurated, and which are being con- | tinued, by its Executive Committee | looking into the complete elimination 1 from the public schools of the District | of Columbia all communistic propa- | ganda. | “Be it further resolved, that this federation urges and advocates the immediate substitution, in place of such communistic propaganda, of a thorough program of the enlighten- ment of all the pupils of the public schools as to the underlying princi- ples of this great Republic, established by our forefathers at great sacrifice, also as to how justice is established, | happiness and welfare of the people promoted, and the blessings of liberty secured thereby, and further, as to how Communism seeks to mislead and beguile the immature and unenlight- ened to give up our priceless heritage and to accept instead bondage under the Bolsheviks.” | Copies of the resolution were or- | dered sent to the Board of Education | and to the Senate and House District | Committees of Congress. | One-sided Information. \ Harry N, Stull, first vice president | of the federation and the chairman of its Education Committee, declared the main point of opposition was use of books that pretend merely to bring the theory of communism before pupils but which in reality produce the bright side without adding anything to off - set what American citizens regard as dangerous. Stull charged there are “certain organizations” sponsored by com- | munists or the Third Internationaie adroitly at work to appeal to adoles- | cents. He mentioned the Young Pio- neers as a group which sought mem- bers among children of school age oy urging free lunches for them. He said he believed the Board of Education would take proper steps to correct communistic propaganda. Mrs. Harvey W. Wiley, delegate from the Kalorama Heights Citizens | Association, said there were sections | in the Becker test which offset sec- tions appearing to favor communist government. “You can take sentences from the Bible which would distort | the meaning of a passage,” she said She said there should be trust in the Board of Education and faith in the teachers. Edwin S. Hege of Chevy Chase, . praising the work by Sullivan, said studies of texts relating to commune ism show such passages are susceptible of but one interpretation—that they were “laudatory of communism.” | Effect of Expression, Mrs. Marie Flynn Maddox of Co- lumbia Heights declared: no other facts than those presented in the Becker text I would be lec to favor communism.” The street car and bus companies should be compelled to bear their share of the cost of actual work of removal of snow from strests they use, the federation declared in adopt- ing a motion offered by William McK Clayton, veteran chairman of the Public Utilities Committee. He pro- posed the cost be on a basis of the portion of the streets used by the utilities. The federation ordered a restudy, for consideration at the next meeting, of a proposal to amend the constitu- tion and by-laws to provide for an- nual election of officers and delegates to the federation in May, instead of the Fall. One question was whether a citizens’ association might “legis- late” officers of the federation out of office due to the fact the constituent bodies hold their elections in the Fall. The point was that the federation president, or other officer, might not be re-elected a delegate while holding a federation office. Committee Officers. President Thomas E. Lodge an- nounced appointment of officers of standing committees of the federation for the new year as follows: Law and Legislation, George E. Sul- livan, chairman; Charles L.
