MINISTER IN DARK
ON FAKE CONCERT
Knew Nothing About Arrange
menE for ''Beneiit" Affair

Rev. DIR. John E. klingberg Of
the Children's Home said today that
he knew nothing about the fake
benefit concert hoax that was work.

many people who had bought SIS
tickets We're left waiting for their
concert at the Y. NJ. T. A. 3. hall
peared. The affair was advertised
on the tickets as a benefit concert
for the Children's Home.
DIR. klingberg said that early in
August an agent for concert ad-
vised him that benefit concert was
to be held for a Yale student and
requested him to accept $500 of the
proceeds for the home. DIR. King
berg agreed but later withdrew APP
prevail when he discovered that the
concert was being misrepresented
as benefit for the Chlldrens home
and not for Yale student. He
dropped the entire matter and mott
fed the Chamber of Commerce.
The Chamber of Commerce re-
ceived calls concerning the affair
from prospective ticket sellers and
conducted an investigation. 1t was
learned that the Children's Home
benefit idea was being used in sell
ing the tickets and callers over the
telephone were told to use Their
own Judgment in buying the tickets
The Chamber Of Commerce under
stood that a sum OF money had
been paid to the head of the Chill

benefit and for the use of its name
in the ticket selling campaign, bu,
DIR. kingberg said that after he
found out that the tickets We're be
ing misre presented, he refused to
accept any money and dropped the
entire matter.
A few days ago there was receiv.
ed by the local chamber circular
warning against the alleged sWindle
as it had been worked in othel
cities. but it was supposed that The
seller of the tickets and his aide
! had left the city after cleaning VI
and would give no concert on the
occasion chosen. Rogers, however
had actually rented the Tabs hal
and had paid dance orchestra

Urges Smith Club to Work With
Town Committee

That the democratic party is 10
make a determined effort to be
united in all its factions in the ma
tional election in November was in
dicated at a meeting of the Alfred
L. Smith for President, club last
night at democratic headquarters
when Mayor A. NJ. Paonessa IN q
speech urged the club not to take
action on the Adjustment of wom-
ems headquarters until a Joint
meeting with the democratic town
committee is held.
The proposal to establish head
quarters for women was brought up
at the meeting by Matthew j. CAL
lahan. mayors secretary. who de-
clared it would not be a good plan
to have the women's headquarters
in the United building.
1t was the feeling of some of the
members that the club should pro-
vide the quarters for the women
but others thought it best to leave
the matter TO the women when they
meet next Tuesday evening.
1t was Mayor Paonessa' idea that
possibly the town committee had
some plan in mind and it would be
inadvisable to establish quarters II
the town committee had already
made plans in that direction.
Martin ]. Kelly suggested an out
! ing Of the club and committee
consisting of Mr.. Kelly. DR.. John
keaveny. James Finnegan. Bernard

the regular club meeting the com.
mittee voted to meet next Tuesday
/ evening at 5 o'clock. Mr.. Kelly wa:
elected chairman and DR.. Heaven.

There was some discussion al
whether Or not the club should
change it's name from Alfred Z
Smith for President club to Smith
Robinson club. The question wa
also brought before the meeting b.
Mr.. Kelly. 1t was voted to table tn
matter until the next meeting whel
a larger attendance will pass on tn
