The National Catholic Welfare Council, surveying

Poverty in the United States, except in rare in

No sogan like that has ever been voiced before
Until now people have taken it for granted that there
would always be great masses Of desperately poor folks
until the millennium, at all events.
But the Catholic Welfare Council, noting that the

1929, starting a complete set of
first and higher semester classes

that classes are conducted

unusual facilities for getting edu-
cation by those who are COM
PEELED to be self-supporting. and
both groups of classes are largely

That Washingtonians realize
these facilities is shown by the
fact that there are about 200

.ROWBOAT SAVES
THREE At SEA

ATLANTIC CITY, Dec. A.
Three men narrowly escaped
drowning here when their craft,
the 3O-foot gasoline launch Maude,
was caught in a swirl of rough
waters. struck an obstruction and
sprang a leak. Despite their
frantic efforts to bail the launch
no Roadway could be made toward
the shore and only the chance
passing of a rowboat led to their
rescue.
Herman Mulock, a real estate
man and owner of the boat, has
only one arm but he stuck to
his post, bailing against odds
with his two companions, Paul
Ospeck and George Sutten. The
boat floundered four miles from
shore in the middle of Great
Bay and the men were helpless
for more than an hour in the
high seas.
The launch soon turned over.
The men meanwhile had donned
life preservers and were afloat
in II feet of water. BY a chance,
Cyril Steelman, on his way to
work by rowboat, found the three
men adrift in the rain and sleet.
The sea was so rough that he
had difficulty maneuvering his
boat so as to get them out of
the water, but being an expert
oarSman he finally got all three
safely aboard. The Maude.
valued at $4,000, is submerged,
but will not be total loss.

Of Soviet Foreign Minister Maxim

Secretary Stimson deferred for.

Moscow note which, it is assumed
here, is being transmitted through

The general impression at the

ASK 100000
M0REFOR D. c.
CENTER

An addition of $3.O65, 900 to the
SO 100000 already appropriated
during the special session of
Congress for the purchase OF
land for the Districts new mum
cipal center is provided in the
new budget.
When the project was first an.
nounced the District Commits
SionerS estimated that $6,5OO,OO
would be required for acquisition
of the necessary land and for
erection of the first unit, a build.
ing to house the police. municipal
and juvenile courts, all three of
which are in unsuitable and over
crowded quarters.
Refuse 100000
The 100000 asked for under
the new budget, plus the similar
amount appropriated under the
heading of deficiency estimates
during the special session, brings
the funds available to within
100000 Of the estimated neces.
Sary total.
The additional 100000 the
Commissioners sought was for the
erection of the proposed court
building. The Budget Bureau re-
fused to approve this, however,
holding that plans for the entire
municipal center should be drawn
up before any single unit was
started. For the expenses of
drawing up the plans, the Budget
Bureau asked for $4,000, to pay
the salaries of. 10 craftsmen, to
pay for miscellaneous supplies,
and for model of the complete
group. This brings this years
budget estimates for the MUM
cipal center to $3,065 900.
Third of Land Acquired
Many purchases have already
been made from the first $1,000
900 appropriated, but it is eSti-
mated that scarcely a third of the
necessary land has been acquired
The municipal center will be
grouped in the space between the

D. c. BONE DRY
BILL READY

The draft of a bone-dry local
prohibition enforcement law was
completed today by Senator Rob
ert B. Howell of Nebraska.
The bill, a direct outgrowth of
a recent controversy between
Howell and President Hoover over
conditions here, will be introduced
within the next few days.
While Senator Howell refused
to make public the provisions OF
the measure in advance of it's
introduction, it is believed that
the bill would clothe members of
the Metropolitan Police Depart
ment with the same authority
now held by Federal prohibition
agents.
At present, less than two score
policemen have such power. The
bill is understood to be a COM
posite, of the best State enforce
ment codes in use throughout
the country. Senator Howell has
spent about two months in pre-
pairing the measure, and has held
numerous conferences in regard
to it with police officials and the
district attorneys office.
