BRIDES FALL

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. rs.
UN.S0.-Naval officers and others
who attended the party preceding
the fatal plunge of Mrs. Daisy
Price, young bride Of Lieut.. Comdr.
George D. Price, through fourth
story window, were to be ques-
toned at a coroner's inquest to-
day.
Inspectors Allan McGinn and
George Engler worked on a theory
that Mrs. Price crashed through
the window while backing away
from a man forcing his attentions
on her.
They pictured Mrs. Price as try.
ing to defend herself with a
chair which went out the window
with her.
The fall occurred at 1870 in
the morning, at least half an
hour after the last guests had de-
parted, according to testimony, so
who the man was and how he
gained entrance was a mystery.

Hoover Chieftain Will Lead
Communities in Collecting
Funds for Winters Work
By WILLIAM c. MURPHY, Jr.

ny "AA4AAfAM W MUM nxP SEs
President Hoover's long antici-
pated plan for unemployment
relief mas been revealed as an
appeal to each community to
pass the hat for the benefit Of
its own sufferers, with a direct
Federal appropriation as a posi-
| BILE last resort only.
Walter S. Gi-:ord, president Of

Telegraph Co., the Presidents
new generalissirno of unemploy-
ment. is 70 be a kind Of cheer
leader in the fund raising cam
paign, he intimated in his first
interview.
Will Raise No MOnev
Mr.. GiffOrd'S commission will
not raise any mO..ey, nor will it
spend any, he said. Its function
will be to stimulate cities, cOun.
tries, States, and charitable or
ganiZatiOns to raise money to
take care Of the unemployed.
For the present, the Clifford
commission will not interest itself
in methods of stimulating en-
ployment. It l. in this emphasis
upon the straight relief phase
of it's efforts that differs from
the Woods commission Of last
year.
The latter devoted it's princi-
pal efforts to Stimulati-.S en-
ployment to. make direct relief
unnecessary.
No Date for Drive.
Mr.. Clifford said he was un-
certain as to just when the
nationwide drive for funds will
start, and no conclusion has
been reached as to the amount
to be sought.
To a suggestion that some
hundreds of millions Of dollars
would be needed to take care Of
some 100000 jObIeSs during the
winter months, he remarked that
probably the amount required
would be much less than might
be anticipated.
Not ali of the 100000 unem-
ployed are destitute, he pointed
out. Some have limited re-
sources, others belong to families
which still number a member in
the ranks of the employed.
ShunS Federal Aid
He shied away from discussion
of q direct Federal appropriation
for unemployment relief. II q |
city cannot take care Of its un-
employed, then the county must |
step in, Mr.. Clifford said; If the |
county is not able or willing to
do so, then the State must act.
He was asked:
"And If the State doesn't
act?"
He replied:
"WeTl have to cross that
bridge when we come to it." |
