SAYS HUNGER MAKES
 MEN COMMIT CRIME

"A man will gn hungry just so long. Then he'll resort to crim- inal methods to make a living. We must help the unemployed to keep down crime" said Councilman BOurgard of Portland, Ore, dis cussing his measure providing for all appropriation of S5,0OO from the city'S general fund tO provide work for the uncmploy- ed here. If the measure passes the council streets will be repair ed and cleaned and the parks will be put in order.
 It is intended that only unem- plOycd married men shall be en- gagged. Wages will be small and work hard, so only those who are in actual need will apply for jobs.
