CHARITY NOT SOLUTION
TO famine SITUATION
Secretary Hoover Tells House Com
mittee Congressional Action
Is Necessary for Russia.

Charity from the general public
will not solve the Russian famine sit
uation and congressional action is
necessary. Secretary Hoover told the
House committee on foreign affairs
yesterday. The voluntary contribu-
tions for Russian relief since August
have been less than 100000, he said
In urging purchase of twice the
amount of grain. recommended last
week by President Harding in his
message to Congress. and as called for
in the Fordney bill to appropriate
s10,000,000 for the purchase Of 10000
900 bushels of corn and 1000, 900
bushels of seed grain. Mr.. Hoover said
that the situation required it." The
supplies contemplated in the Fordney
bill, he declared. were inadequate. In
cases of condensed milk should be
sent to Russia for 100000 starving
children.
James P. Goodrich, former Governor
of Indiana and Vernon Kellogg of
Washington, both of whom recently
returned from Russia, where they
studied the famine situation for the
American Relief Administration, join
ed the Secretary of Commerce in urg-
ing that a twenty million dollar ap-
preparation be rushed through Con-
gress:
Mr. Hoover estimated it would be
physically impossible to distribute
more than 22,OO0,000 bushels Of grain
in the lower Volga region during the
next six months, but he contended
that an effort should be made to place
that quantity at the disposal of the
starving population.

PROGRESS IN REBUILDING
NATIONAL GUARD RAPID
Gen. Carter Also Estimates Mem
bership Of 100, 900 Men Before
End Of Current Year.

Rapid progress in the rebuilding Of
the nations second line of defense
the National Guard-was made during
the last fiscal year. says the annual
report today Of the chief Of the mill
tia bureau. under signature Of Brig.
Gen. Jesse Mel. Carter, retired. On
last June 80. the report says, the
guard numbered 1860. with 331 or
ganizations allotted. but not yet or
ganized.
On the. basis of expansion during
last year Gen. Carter estimated that
before the end of the current fiscal
year the guard would number 10000
men. or some 10000 more than in the
Regular Army. Pointing out that
available funds for this year provide
for only $4,000 men. the report says
that unles increased appropriations
are allowed there will be trouble
ahead" for the militia bureau.
AS existing law prescribes the pay
of the guardsmen, Gen. Carter says
there appears to be no way to avoid
fusing to recognize additional units
duly organized under provisions Of
the law.
"Such action" he adds, will surely
cause bitter feelings and charges Of
bad faith: 1t will crush the present
rising tide in the organization Of our
second line Of defense"
Appended to the report are state
ments from army corps area officers
as to progress in organizing guard
units In the various corps. Lieut.. Col.
G. w. Stuart at Fort Howard, Nd,
says: 1T is anticipated that in the
next year the remaining units Of the
twenty-eight divisions will be organ
lied in Pennsylvania and the author
lied units of the 29th Division will
be organized in Maryland. Virginia

RECORD SALES EXPECTED
FOR CHRISTMAS SEALS
Enormous Demand Due to Interest
In Movement, Says Vir-
ginia Secretary.

The Christmas seal sale this year
will be the largest in the history OF
the work. Irving Lewis Spear, execu-
tive secretary of the Virginia Tuber-
culosis Association, who recently re-
turned from a tour Of the state in the
interest Of the seal sale, announced
today.
The enormous demand for seals is
due to the popularity of the tubercu-
| losis movement and especially to the
fact that the major portion of the
money to be raised this year will be
left with the respective localities for
local work, Mr.. Spear said. All coun-
ties who will establish permanent
tuberculosis clinics have been
promised IS per cent of what they
raise to be spent locally. while those
who contribute toward the salary Of
a public health nurse will receive SIS
per cent Of the proceeds.
During the year, in which the
United States was actively engaged
in the world war. Mr.. Spears state
ment said, approximately 10000
American fighting men were killed or
died of wound, while in the same
period at home 100000 American n
men, women and children died OF
tuberculosis. In Virginia. he con-
tinued, during the past year there mas
been a death from this disease every
Two hours ana 1orty minutes.
The Virginia tuberculosis Assocla-
tion is supported entirely from the
sale Of Christmas seals, according 10
Mr. Spears statement. 1t does not
carry a heavy overhead expense. there
being only two Office secretaries;
field nurse and a doctor in addition
to the executive secretary. Mr.. Spear.
Last year the association turned more
than three-fifths of what it raised
back to the localities for local work
and in the same period examined over
1900 people for tuberculosis. gong
into forty-one counties with the
work
