 deserts golden sand
 Some. day a youthful patriot with

OFFICIAL BUREAU TO

Another step to combat the unenr-

taken by Col. Arthur Woods. in an
nouncing creation OF a division of
correspondence of the emergency en-
pIoyment committee for soldiers and
sailors of the Council of National De-
fenSe.
The new division will give infor-
nation and directions to men being
discharged from the service on ques-
tions concerning allotments, war Tisk
insurance, bonuses, employment, civil
rights and vocational training. Woods
said.

said Woods, such as the employment

ployment will be referred, or the Red

ton as to casualties and civilian re-
lief. Nor is it the intention Of either
the committee or the new division TO

NEARLY MADE LAW
OVER SOLONS' HEAD

TRENTON. n. J., April 13.-Goger-
nor Edge and Senate President Will
lam H. Runyon, Of Union county, to-
day began an investigation OF appaf-
ent .trickery whereby the Hyland bal
for an open Sunday reached tn :
executives desk for his signature
despite the fact that it had never
been passed by the senate. Had he
signed the measure, it would have
become a de facto law and remained
in force until successfully attacked
in the courts.
After its passage by the assembly
the bill was sent over to the senate
for action, but a test vote, taken on
a bill for opening Of Newark )
amusement parks on the Sabbath,
showed its defeat was certain, and
Senator Pilgrim did not call 1t up.
Notwithstanding this, the bill reached
the governors desk, duly attested ny
President Runyon.
Denying that he signed the attesta-
tion of. its passage, Senator Runyon
today branded the AFFAIR as low,
dirty work" 1t is believed that who
ever is responsible either took the
attestation from bill that the gov
erner had vetoed and returned to the
senate. or took It from bill that had
been regularly passed and prepared
for transmission to the governor.

Russia to Receive Food
From Allies If Credit
Plan Can Be Worked Out

PARIS, April 13.-Russia will be
fed by the allies IL financial arrange
ments can be worked out, il has been
learned from an authoritative source.
The discussion turns on the matter
Of credits. Herbert HooVer's commit
tee is handling the problem. The
present disposition is toward aiding
Russia to establish credits for pay
ment for food supplies. While there
is a tendency as usual to let America
provide the credits, it is understood
the sco4nmittee is going ahead on an
arr enent for an inter-allied
n maintain that II the Rus
sianS re given food hostilities will
cease, the more sober
elements swinging toward a policy Of
moderation.
HOOveFss Statement.
Hoover gave out the following
statement connection with the ques-
ton of sending food to Russia:
'HThe relief administration has car
ried on a great deal of investigation
as to the actual food conditions in
Russia. The gravity Of the situation
cannot be overestimated. A very
conservative estimate would indicate
that upward OF 20o. 700 people are di-
rectIy err indirectly dying from food
shortage monthly. and the situation
is likely TO grow in intensity as the
season progresses.
