RELIEF WORK IN GREECE
DESCRIBED BY WITNESS
Perplexing Problems Yet Facing
Refugee-Filled Nation, Says
{ Miss. Darlington.

Greece has successfully absorbed
refugees from Asia Minor equal to
about one-fourth of her population, but
still faces perplexing problems of un-
employment, low wages, overcrowding,
undernourishment and sickness in con-
junction with the refugee camps, Miss
Anne Darlington of 1910 MaSsachu-
settS avenue said today in recalling her
recent visit to Greece and an inspection
of the Near East Relief work there
Americans should be proud to have
part In the tremendous thing Greece is
doing" she declared Modern Greece
never has been rich; she was exhausted
by war when, In 1922, she received the
horde Of Asia Minor refugees. It was an
undertaking unique In history and to-
day it is a success. Thousands have
found work and homes on farm lands
In Macedonia, many factories have been
established, towns and cities have grown
rapidly.
"But, though the refugees already are
proving assets, there still are terrible
problems of unemployment, low wages,
overcrowding in some of the refugee
camps and undernourishment and con-
seQuent sickness. This year there was
the dengue fever epidemic.
For the very ~young children and
those incapacitated by illness, or blind-
ness, there must still be support In the

Ex-Convict Pleads
For Job When ID. C..
Turns Back on Him
Fighting Social Ostra.
cism, Man Wants Chance
to Re.establish Self.

An experience involving the question
of society's obligation to those it has
punished is now being lived by young
Washington man who has been able to
secure but one days employment
since he was released from prison sew
eral months ago.
His quest for an opportunity to
make good" has led him only to
closed doors, and he faces the new year
with diminishing courage, with
out hope and with little prospect of
re-establishing himself in the. social
order.
Because he has a 10-year-old son
who does not know his father has been
in prison the parent wishes his name
withheld.
Six years ago this man was a trusted
employe of a Washington bank, hold
ing the position of teller in charge of
foreign exchange. He embeZzled some
of the firms money. was convicted and
sentenced to serve five years in Lorton
Reformatory.
Held Temporary Position.
He was released early in 1928 and
secured four months employment with
a relative in temporary position. For
the past six months he has sought work
in vain.
Although he has fair education and
is familiar with both accounting and
bookkeeping. his prison record has
proved an insurmountable obstacle in
his efforts to secure work. He has not
tried to conceal the fact that he is an
ex-convict, hoping to be able to redeem
himself in spite of this fact.
He feels that he has atoned for his
tranSgression and that he Is now en-
titled to an opportunity to prove his
worth. Prospective employers, how
ever, have felt otherwise, and all of
with the same answer, Il can't use
you.'
Refuses Dishonest Work.
He has had several offers of dis
honest employment, but he has turned
them down. He realizes, he says. that
one more misstep will place him for
ever beyond the pale of society.
This man is not asking that he be
given his former place in the social
scale. He wants only a chance to
prove himself and will accept any hon.
orable work which pays living wage
to attain this end.
Through The Star, he makes the fol-
lowing appeal:
LAS a reader of your paper for the
past Is years, am appealing to you
for help.
81 am one who has made mistake,
paid to society and am still paying. Five
