5(0 BEDS ASKED
TO HELP J0BLESS.
D. c. Commissioners Appeal
to Army to Aid Relief
Organizations.

The District Commissioners today ap-
pealed to the chief of staff of the 3rd
Corps Army Area for the loan of 500
beds with accompanying mattresses and
blankets for the use of the Salvation
Army and the Gospel Mission in hand
ling large numbers of unemployed this
Winter.
The Commissioners request, signed
by DR.. Luther H. Reichelderfer. presi-
dent of the board, was predicated on
written appeals for such aid from both
agencies. The Commissioners ask that
the equipment be loaned the local char
table agencies under the same condi-
tions that you furnished similar equip
ment to the Salvation Army and other
organizations in the District of Colum-
bia" four years ago.
Many Ask Aid.
In appealing to the Commissioners for
their intercesSion in securing the loan
Of 300 beds, mattresses, blankets and
pillows. Harvey v. Prentice, superin-
tendent of the Gospel Mission, declared
the missions new building, to be occu-
pied within 60 days, has cost consider
ably more than we anticipated" He
said the organization is finding 1t
problem to make the new structure i'm
mediately available to the large num-
berS who are even now appealing to us
for material assistance"
In his appeal on behalf of the Saliva
ton Army, also received at the District
Building today Mai James Asher, Sec
retary. asked for the loan Of 200 cots
and 200 blankets lin connection with
the coming Winters transient relief
program"
Representations also have been made
by District officials to Federal authori-
ties, it was learned today, for the use
of the President Theater. Eleventh
street and Pennsylvania avenue, for
harboring destitute families.
Declared Unsuitable.
Capt. Z. N Chisolm, assistant direc-
tor of Public Buildings and Public Parks,
asserted that in his opinion the theater
is not suitable for this purpose. as it
would be costly to put 1t in proper
shape.
Some suggestion has been put forward
that the Districts homeless might find
refuge at Fort Hunt, Va, just off the
Mount Vernon Memorial Highway, and
Fort Foote, Md, also under the jurisdic-
ton of the Office of Public Buildings
and Public Parks. is being discussed.
Federal authorities assert that Federal
property can be used only for Federal
activities. In the case of the houses in
the District of Columbia, owned by
Uncle Sam and being turned over tenn
porarily to the jurisdiction of the Com
missioners. they point out, they have
been purchased by funds for which the
local taxpayers will reimburse the Fed
eral Government.
In the case of Fort Hunt and Fort
Foote, the Federal authorities believe
it would be necessary to secure con-
greSsional authority or possibly an
executive order before the Districts
homeless could occupy those properties.

NEW YORK, October 25.-Miss Betty
Cow, who was nursemaid for the kid
naped and slain Lindbergh baby, ar
rived from England today on the liner
Caledonia and sped away from the pier
in an automobile bearing New Jersey
license plates.
Miss Cow declined to say whether her
destination was the home of Col.
Charles A. Lindbergh at Hopewell. N. j.,
or the estate of Mrs. Dwight Morrow,
mother Of Mrs Lindbergh, at Engle-
wood, N. J.
Miss Cow sailed for England last
August and visited her parents. The
car in which she was taken from the
pier was reported to have come from
the Morrow estate.
New Barry Clue Claimed.
The Daily News says Val O'Farrell,
criminal investigator and writer for that
newspaper, has a new clue placing
negotiations by DR.. John F. (Jafsie)

Barry, a notorious gem thief and
escaped convict. was arrested Saturday
night in New Jersey farm house.

formed by an unidentified taxicab
driver that Barry was making frequent
trips to the Bronx at the time DR.. Con-
don was advertising for instructions
from the kdnapers. 1t was in the
Bronx that DR.. Condor paid fruitless
$4,000 ransom.
Tells of Kidnap Threat.
O'Farrell was quoted further as say
ing that Barry once threatened to steal
the children of Jesse L. Livermore in
an effort to deter Livermore from aid
ing the State in prosecuting him on a
robbery charge.

q. s. WITHOUT WORD.
Has Received No Information on Japa-
neSe Plan.

The State Department has received
no information yet regarding the Japa-
nese suggestions for a reduction OF
armamentS, which are reported to have
been sent to Geneva.
It is assumed. however, in we'll in
formed quarters that Japans basis con-
tribution will be along the lines ex-
pressed by the japanese delegates at
the various conferences held since 1880
and Will refer chiefly to the abolition
of the landing decks on battleships and
cruisers and to the reduction in size
of airplane carriers as well as Of bat
tleship guns. Whatever these proposals
may be the American Government will
examine them with utmost care and
in a spirit of friendship.
It was pointed out, however, today
that the Hoover proposal for a one
third slash in ornaments must apply
to all the branches of national defense,
armies, navies and air forces. The
American delegates at Geneva, while
instructed to discuss the question of
limitation of any special arms the
other nations may want to discuss, in
order to facilitate the preparation of
the conference, have made it plain to
the other powers that the United States
would not consider a one-sided slash.
That is to say, this Government would
not consider a unilateral agreement to
cut down navies alone or armies alone.
