Are Belittling LOsses
From Hurric ane e,
Word of John Barton
Payne, Chairman
Declares Gov. Martin And Real
Estate Men Consider Hotel
And Tourist Business More
Important Than Aid to Suf-
ferers-Claim Greatest Need
Exists Since San Francisco
Quake

Washington, Oct. 1-(P)-Whisper-
ings of discord which have accom-
nanied the effort to raise a 100000
relief fund for Florida storm suffer-
ers illuminated today in fiat charge
by John Barton Payne, chairman of
the American Red Cross, that Florida
officials and real estate men had
practically destroyed" the campaign
nv repeated attempts to belittle re-
ports of damage and suffering.
Despite these efforts, which were
attributed to Governor John w. Mar
fin. Mayor +. o. Romfh, of Miami
end others. Chairman Payne said he
felt duty bound to carry on the drive
for funds and appealed to the coun-
try to help. y little more than 49,
100000 has been collected.
In the face Of the efforts to mini
mize the storm losses, Mr.. Payne as
serted that Red Cross officials in
Florida had reported the greatest
need for relief since the San Fran
cisco earthquake and fire, listing o.
900 homes as totally destroyed and
$4,000 families poverty stricken.
The Red Cross Chairman's views
were given in an exchange of tele-
grams with c. C. Pinckey. chairman
Of the Richmod, Va, Red Cross chap
ter, and in kilograms and correspon-
dence between himself and Mayor
Romfh.
In addition, James L. Fieser, vice
chairman of the Red Cross, in re-
port to headquarters, declared that
relief work had been greatly .retard-
ed by persistent reports that the
need as set forth by the Red Cross
does not exist"
Wiring Chairman Pinckney. Mr..
Payne asserted that the poor people
who suffered are regarded as of less
consequence than the hotel and tour
LIST business in Florida" The mes
sage was in reply to one which said
that Mayor Bright of Richmond, was
considering the recall of a Sl0,00O
check sent to Miami by Richmond
donors on the strength of a circular
letter signed by Mayor Romfh de-
claring he was convinced very eX-
aggerated idea" of real conditions
had been created.
Delivery Of this check was held up
BY Mayor Bright pending word from
Red Cross officials. Mr.. Bright de-
clared in Richmond today that in
view of conflicting statements as to
relief needs, he felt an investigation
should be made to learn who is
right, the boosters or the relief
workers.
Chairman Payne told Mayor ROM
ah in another message that he had
been compelled to combat" tele-
grams from Governor Martin and
others in his drive for funds and as
serted "if you and your associates
have the courage to deal with the
situation adequately. call in these
(MiamD newspapers and give them
an honest statement without at
tempting to advertise Florida"
