SAY REFUGEE"
CLAIMS ARE NOT
COMING IN FAST

A few weeks ago an announcement
was sent out by the Gillespie EXplo-
sion Claims Board. located at the
Morgan General Ordnance Depot,
South Amboy 10 rhe effect that they
would consider claims for expendi-
lures necessitated in the care of the
Iwounded and refugees during the time
of the Gillespie Plant Explosion. To
date 1T a few of these claims have
been received by the Board.
The Board IS asking for detailed
information relating TO claims, prior
TO recommending the same to Con
gress for reimbursement. 1t ks neces-
sary that those having claims of this
nature get In touch with the Board
at once for after the claims have been
acted upon by Congress, by way OF
appropriations, there is little chance
of submitting additional claims. Doc
tors are advised 10 inform each other
of the Boards action as are also
churches, organizations, hospitals etc.
who cared for sick and wounded refu-
gees.
It should he remembered that the
Board cannot make any obligation for
the United States Government but is
getting together this information to
send to Congress for It's action. The
necessary form cards can be obtained
for the filing of these claims by ap-
plying TO Captain >, M ChaSe OF the
Gillespie Explosion Claims Board at
the Morgan General Ordnance Depot
at Morgan by person. letter or phon-
ing Perth Amboy 1900.
Tho Board still has 145 claims
amounting to $4,000 to be paid to
persons who put in claims to the
Board for property damage. The
reason these claimants have not been
paid is because they cannot be located.
At least 100 OF the claimants who
still remain unpaid have returned to
their homes IN Europe and the Board
is slowly obtaining their addresses and
forwarding their checks, to them,
At tho present time the Board is
considering railroad claim amount
ing to about three quarters of mill
lion dollars. The claim is for 260
railroad freight cars which were de-
stroyed by the explosion.

H. 8. MED|NE TS
HEADS 7. NJ. H. A.

One of the most important and
largely attended meetings of the Y. M.
LII. A. was held last anigl in the as
sooiation rooms a. With Harry S.
Medinets was unanimously elected
president of the organization. Mr..
Medinets held this same office seven
years ago. 1t was amidst great en-
thusias1n that Mr.. Medinets was re-
elected. for many are confident that
under his leadership, new era has
commenced for the Y. NJ. III. A. in this
city.
The activities of the organization
have for the past few years been on
the wane and an effort Is being made
to revive the institution and re-instate
it in it's proper place in the commun-
ity. Great enthusiasm Is shown
through the realization that Y. M. H.
A. building Is near at hand, but be-
fore this end can be accomplished q
hearty cooperation must be shown by
all the young Jewish members of the
community.
As vice-president, another "old
timer" and interested worker was
elected in the person of Henry Polko-
witz, whose election also was unani-
nous. The other new officers are as
follows: Joseph Diamond, recording
secretary; Samuel Margaretten, flnan-
cial secretary; Bernard Karkus, treas
urer; sergeant at arms, Philip Schles-
singer.
The retiring president, Jacob s.
KafI<uS, turned over the honor of in
stalling the newly elected officers to
Benjamin Goldberger whose efforts in
behalf of the Y. NJ. II. A. are generally
known and greatly appreciated.
The new president, Mr.. Medinets.
gave an enthusiastic talk to the men,
bers In which he outlined n plan which
is to guide the association in it's future
work, and brighter days are predicted
by everyone for the organization.

If the conferees fail to draft a

HEARING TODAY
ON SHIP CANAL.
At WASHINGTON

Although many delegations from
several cities and associations left
last night for Washington to appear
before the Rivers and Harbors Com
mittee today in the hearing on the
bill for the New Jersey ship canal,
some members of the delegation at
the last minute cancelled their reser-
Vations and remained at home. The
reason for this action on the part of
some of the delegates was the fact
that at the last minute it was found
that the waterway appropriation
measure has already been passed by
the House.
Among those who did not attend
the hearing are: Senator Thomas
Brown. president of the New Jersey
Intra-C Coastal Ship Canal Association;
Mayor Moore of Philadelphia, Mayor
Donnelly of Trenton, Murray HUI
bert, dock commissioner of New Jer-
sey, representative of the Atlantic
Deeper Waterways Association and
others. Senator Brown had secured
his reservations for the trip and ex-
pected to attend the hearing, but q
last minute investigation which
proved that congress will not make
an appropriation at this session
caused the senator and others to
abandon the trip.

nelly. representatives Of the Atlantic
Deeper Waterways Association and
himself and others would go to
Washington In the near future to
submit documentary evidence on the
canal project for the purpose of hay
ing 1t included in the Rivers and
HaTbors report.
"After a careful survey of the re-
I,F I.a4,- fnI trn
ment and the New Jersey Intra-
Coastal Canal situation Senator
Brown said today, II regret to say
that 1t is highly improbable that the
present session of congress will pro-
vide an appropriation, either large
or small, for the New Jersey canal
project. Congress has already passed
bill providing for an appropriation
for rivers and harbors which Is the
smallest appropriation made by con-
gress in years for this purpose. e.
"An appearance by any delegation
before the Rivers and Harbors Com
mittee at this time can have little
effect insofar as it concerns the con-
gressional appropriation for this ses-
sion of congress"
1t was known to Chamber Of Com
merce officials that the rivers and
harbors bill had been disposed of by
the House, ana l. Il. MadSen, preSl-
dent of the chamber, questioned the
advisability of making the trip to
Washington at this time. Secretary
Hilton, however said that he had
been informed by Assemblyman
Warner, member of the canal COM
mission appointed by the governor,
who has just returned from Wash
ington, that the chairman of the
Rivers and Harbor Committee had
recommended that the hearing be
held even though the bill had been
passed so as to get the matter be-
fore congress where 1t would be in
line for future consideration and the
report of the hearing could be made
an official document for publicity
purposes throughout the country. On
the strength of this recommendation
it was decided to go ahead with the
hearing
