CLOCK WINDER
Of j. s. DIES

. Frederick W. Busey, SO, who
for the past decade has kept in
order and regularly wound the
clocks in the Civil Service Com
mission and some other Govern
ment buildings, is dead. His
friends learned he succumbed
yesterday while cranking his car
at his home at Bennings, D. C.
At the commission today it
was said that not in 10 years
had a clock been neglected by
him or allowed to run down.
Today, however, the clock in
the office of Secretary E. Claude
Babcock stopped and will be al
lowed to remain that way a day
in tribute to Busey.

TURKEYS CHEAP
!. FOR HOLIDAY
The keeper of the family budget
is going to have something to be
thankful fn,. this Thankscivinp

The keeper of the family budget
is going to have something to be
thankful for this Thanksgiving.
With turkeys cheaper and of
better quality than last year, and
other edibleS reduced about 80 per
cent, the housewife will be able to
say grace and mean it.
A trip through the Capital mar
kets shows that everything from
the holiday bird to the meanest
onion has dropped in price. If
present, weather conditions con-
tinue, turkeys for the Thanksgiv-
ing Day feast will be procurable
at as low as Is cents pound.
They will be plentiful, too, since
it has been a good turkey summer.
Last year good turkeys brought
as high as 45 cents a pound, and
on Thanksgiving Eve, due to their
scarcity, they rose even higher.
The citrus fruitS-oranges and
tangerines-alone of the holiday
goodies will be higher this year
than last. Market conditions have
been unfavorable and the best
grade of fruit is prohibitive for the
modest budget.
Canned fruits, however, are well
within the reach Of even the most
economical. They are as much as
SO per cent less than last year for
some grades. And good fruit at
that. All canned goods have
dropped in price.

Governmental unit contribu-
tionS came rolling in strongly to.
day to the Community Chest.
This was the most cheering fac
tor in the situation which was
not impressive otherwise.
Total contributions to date
totals $1,374,828.35. not much
above the halfway mark and
more than half a million dollars
below what should have been
collected to reach the quota.
The total contributions today
were about $4,000, arrnged by
units as follows: Schools, $226.22;
Governmental, $86,312.8; metro
politan, 32,859.97; special gifts,
$50, ,465 .08; and group solicitation,
ST, ,693.06.
Mrs. Hoover Guest
These units thus far have re-
ported the following as their total
contributions: School, $7,214.35;
governmental, $318,O22.53; metro
politan, $223,5S9.72; special gifts,
$64S,499.16; group solicitation,
$182,5O2.59.
Mrs. Hoover was the. chief
honor guest today at the willard
luncheon and as a coincidence,
the White House team was
awarded an honor banner for
having subscribed 100 per cent.
The banner was received by NJ.
P. Webster, whom Mrs. Hoover
greeted with cordial handshake.
Other honor guests included
Mrs. Ogden Mills, Mrs. Roy D.
Chaplin and several Girl Scout
leaders of the District.
In the principal address at to-
days meeting Major Daniel ].
Donovan, District Auditor, extend.
ed greetings to the Chest workers
from the District Commissioners
and hearty wishes for the success
of the campaign.
Has Confidence
He pointed out that last year
the District had the best record in
the governmental group for sub.
Scriptions and collections and
hoped that even this record would
be surpassed this year.
Thus far, he said, about one
third of the District Government
quota has been raised and he was
confident the quota would be sur
passed.
The success of the campaign,
he said, depends very largely on
Government employees, who are
secure in their positions and get
their pay regularly. He added:
"The Treasury may be in the
red, but the Government always
gets the payroll together"
He showed that 10 cents a day
from each Government employe
would fill the Community Chest
Golfers with a half million to
spare and that three cents day
would practically fill the Govern
ment quota. He closed with a
tribute to the Chest and its direc-
tor, Elwood Street.

SCANNED
AS GUIDE FOR
EMERGENCY
Los Angeles Mayor BIames
Reds for Starting March;
Children Due Thursday

District and police officials to-
day continued to "Sit tight" as
reports began to trickle in from
various sections of the country
bringing information about the
hunger march" on the Capital,
due to arrive here with the open
ing of Congress.
That the march is to become an
actuality, despite Government at
tempts to discourage the partici-
pants, is now admitted by Off
cials, who are laying plans to deal
with the marcherS when they ar
rive here.
Efforts to discourage the
marcherS from coming to Wash
ington from California have been
unavailing, according to a COM
munication from the mayor of Los
Angeles.
Blamed on Communists
Mayor John C. Porter, in writ
ing to Commissioner Luther H.
Reichelderfer, said:
"Our investigation, which is
very complete, discIOseS that
this is surely a COmmuniStic
movement and nothing we can
do here will discourage the
march to Washington.
"We have the names of all
those leaving here together with
their itinerary and cOmmunistic
affiliations. There were but IL
in the group from Los Angeles.
All told, from California, we
are informed there has been
less than rs. 1 regret we were
unable to head these agitatOrs
off and prevent their marching
to Washington"
Corporation Counsel William w,
Bride today said he had com.
piled a list of all laws under
which authorities may be able to
deal with the marchers, but
added:
What we will do depends en-
tirely upon what the marchers
do. They have a right to petit
ton Congress peaceably. How
ever, if they become public
charges, we must deal with
them. If they are disOrderly,
we shall have to handle that;
If they are vagrantS, then we
must resort to the proper means
to deal with them as vagrantS;
If they panhandle, we must deal
with them as panhandlers."

 in Canning
Gas Men Offer. Aid to Needy CustOners-EcOnO.
 my Stressed

As a means of aiding the needy to store food supplies against the coming winter. executives of seyer- al of the leading gas companies in Connecticut to-day jointly an nounced that through the homo service departments of their con- panies they were prepared to rem der without cost expert advice on the most modern and economical methods of canning fruits and vegetables to customers who desire it.
 The list of companies making this offer included the Connecticut Light & Power company, the New. Haven Gas Light company, the Greenwich Gas company, the Stam- ford Gas and Electric company, the Danbury Gas and Electric company and the Derby Gas and Electric company.
 These companies jointly issued the following statement:
 Due to the prevailing economic conditions, 1t Is anticipatedt hat Connecticut housewives will under take more canning of fresh fruits and vegetables in various forms this fall than ever bSfore. At the present time, the cost of the com modities customArily canned is ex- tremely low, so thatt he process of preserving may be accomplished very reasonably and substantial supply stored away for the winter months when the cost of such fruits and vegetables will be much high CT.
 Families whose budgets have become very limited due to unem- ployment will naturally find it~dif- ficult to purchase hte current sea- sons native fruits and vegetables when winter arrives, while the same commodities may now pc canned and used alter at 8 con siderable saving. Fro ma neath viewpoint, it is important that the important food elements contained In fresh fruits and vegetables re. main in the diet in sufficient amounts. This Is especially true when growing children must1 be fed.
 cesses of canning, fruits and vege- tables in all forms may be pre- served without losing these es- sential clements. The gas com panies of Connecticut with trained home service experts, therefore, stand ready to assist their custom CTS by teaching them these up-to- date methods and by demonstrat- ing the most economical and ef- ficient means of canning such com modities as the housewife may de- sire to preserve for the oncomins winter. This service will be rem dered without cost to the customer and may be obtained by applying to the gas companies offices"

limited Press Stan Corresonpdent)
 Moscow, Sept 22. (UP)-A wave of thousands of arrests unequaleo since the tragic winter of l9z9.So when peasants were forcibiy herded into communal groups is sweeping the Soviet Union.
 The Moscow press reflects a small fraction of the new campaign of revolutionary terror, and study of provincial newspapers reveais thousands of arrests never record ed in the central press organs.
 A United Press survey of local newspapers of widely separated re- gions, including the leading pub- Iications of cities like Tiflis, Tash- kent, Vladivostok, and Minsk, showed accounts of actual arrests of groups of alleged thieves or speculators, or of police investiga- ton which was certain to lead to many detentions.
 Single newspapers-The Pravda Vostoka of Tifiis, for instance reported as many as 100 arrests in a week.
 TO obtain some idea of the na- tional drive, such local figures must be multiplied a hundredfold. Whatever the political justifications for the arrests, death sentences, and heavy prison terms. the im- mediate effect is a tense atmos- phere reminiscent of the most dif- ficult days of the Soviet regime
 Most arrests are made under de- crees aimed to protect "socialized property" and collectivfzed crops. A more recent decree is directed against thousands of so-called spectators" or middlemen who buy up farm products and manu- factured articles for sale in the private market.
 Another category of arrests is never mentioned in the press but takes a heavy toll daily. Hundreds in the larger cities are apprehend- ed on suspicion of possessing ''valuta," foreign currency, gold, shilver, and precious stones. They
