TO SHELvE CURTIS
Approval of Eastern Wet
Sought-MilIs' Name
Suggested.
BY G. GOULD LINCOLN.

An effort to unhorse Vice President
Curtis as the running mate Of President
Hoover in the coming national cam
paign has been undertaken by some
members of the Republican National
Committee, it was learned today.
The name of ogden Mills, Secretary
Of the Treasury, as a possible substi
tute for Vice President Curtis on the
national ticket was advanced today in
those quarters antagonistic to the re-
nomination of Mr. Curtis.
There has been no indication what
ever that the Hoover administration is
back of this movement, and it is too
early as yet to say how far the move
ment will go. Those who are sponsoring
it contend it would be wise to place on
the ticket with President Hoover a
vice presidential candidate acceptable to
the vets in the East and also to the big
financial interests
Before his death there was much talk
of the possibility of substituting the
late Senator Dwight w. Morrow for
Mr. Curtis as the vice presidential can
didate.

APPROVAL LIKELY
FOR LOCAL RELIEF
Hoover Expected to Indorse
Bill When Formally Brought
to His Attention.

A bill drafted to secure unemploy-
ment relief for the District from public
funds is expected to receive the ap-
proval of President Hoover when for
mally brought to his attention.
The measure now under consideration
by the Budget Bureau would request
Congress to appropriate money from
District funds with view to relieving
unemployment
The draft of the bill was sent to the
Budget Bureau yesterday a few hours
after a recommendation for such a bill
had been received from the District
Committee on Employment The bureau
is expected to act on the measure today.
Crisis Reached Last Week.
Unemployment relief work in the
District reached a crisis last week,
when Paul L. Benjamin, executive sec
retary of the Committee on Employ
ment, suggested the appropriation from
public funds because of the prospective
the Community Chest. on which the
Employment Committee had been
functioning during the Winter. There
was fight against the Benjamin pro-
poSsl, led by District Auditor Daniel
]. Donovan.
Before the Commissioners sent the
draft of the bill to the Budget Bureau
they consulted with Chairman E. C.
Graham of the Employment Commit
tee and Newbold Noyes of the Wash
ington Council of Social Agencies.
While President Hoover has been ad-
vised informally of the situation in
Washington growing out of the deple-
ton of the funds of the District Com
mittee on Employment, and has been
told about the need for additional
money to continue this relief work, the
question has not been put up to him
yet for an opinion or a decision.
Inconsistency Denied.
1t is understood, however, that Mr..
Hoover will be asked for assistance very
shortly. The question is now being
considered by officials Of the District
government and Col. j. c. Roop, di-
rector of the budget When they have
thoroughly considered the subject, and
have worked out a definite proposal
and decided upon the size of the ap-
preparation needed to carry on this local
relief work, the President will be ap-
preached
In approving this appeal to Congress
for an appropriation to help the un-
employed of the District of Columbia,
it has been pointed out by friends of
the President that he would not be
acting in an inconsistent manner be-
cause of his previously expressed op-
position to appropriating Federal money
for the aid of relief work in States and
municipalities 1t was explained that
such an appropriation fo- the District
of Columbia would be in line with the
Presidents policy of having local relief
handled with local funds. Inasmuch
as Congress is the only legislative body
which the Capital City has to appeal
to for funds, Congress would, of course,
have to appropriate the money.

be the flash grandmother dead"

were ready for a march on Berlin at
the time of the presidential election
last Sunday and that all details had
been planned, such as arrangements
for transportation and provisions.
These preparations were made" the
ministryS statement said, under the
guise of putting down communist re-
volts, but in reality they were prepara-
tions for civil war"
The statement ended by saying that
the Prussian government no longer
would tolerate the mobilization of an
army like Hitler's storm troops,
The raids throughout Prussia were
under the direction of Karl Severing,
minister of interior.

ments.

of relaying it to mobiliZing points
throughout the Reich. They said the
Hitlerites apparently planned to march
on the larger cities and assist police In

prepared to seize the power in the event
OF interference.

berg to Cologne, police seized all the
correspondence they found in the Nazl
headquarters, packed it up and took it
under heavy guard to police head
quarters for examination.
There were raids in Cologne, Berlin,
Hamburg, Koenigsberg, Aachen, Dussel-

f1nd that with little cost and effort it
can be adapted for some entertainment

You do know that candle light Gre
ground for any evening party; but do
you often use it? We had nothing but
tall, white cathedral candles for light
ing that evening. There were IA of
them in the large floor torchiers. in
the music room and other TALL white
taperS throughout the four living rooms.
A very lacy white cloth was used on
the buffet table with red roses with
double white narcissus for decoration
The buffet menu, which was very sim
pie, included chicken salad and peach
ice cream nodded in raspberry ice, hot
rolls and coffee, and there were red
and white bon bons.
In such scheme it is, of course, lust
the time to use ones silver or crystal
candelabra. But If there are no heir
looms, very good effect can be had
with the tall tapers and quite good
looking candle holders to be found in
the 10 cent stores. These are not only
appropriate, but sensible-especially for
childrens parties.
