H|T-RUN VICTIM
FAXED FOR COURT
Barber Carried in for Trial
Yesterday All Right Today.
Bocock Declares.
INSISTS COLLARB0NE
FRACTURE WAS TREATED
Superintendent Cites Comment of
Emergency Doctor, Who Had
Trouble With Patient.

Gallinger Hospital officials reiterated
today that Rocco Socco. 51-year-old
New York barber. who appeared in Po-
lice Court yesterday, apparently unable
to walk, to answer charge Of intoxi-
cation, was shamming and that they
were justified in allowing him to leave
the hospital, where he had been treated
for a fractured leg and collarbone.
Judge Ralph Given yesterday ordered
an investigation when he learned the
man was carried on the back of po-
liceman from patrol wagon to a Po-
lice Court cell, his clothing still spat-
tered with blood as the result of being
struck by a hit-and-run driver Oc-
tober %.
Examined by Chief Surgeon.
DR.. E. c. Bocock, head of Gallinger
Hospital, said this morning that Socco
was given thorough examination by
DR.. Charles S. White, chief surgeon,
after being sent back to that institution
by Judge Given and was found to be
fully capable Of standing trial.
He was up and walking around the
hospital this morning." DR.. Bocock de-
clared. II think in few days we can
argue him around to going to court.
He was all right until he learned he
would have to go to court yesterday.
We have had many similar cases.
1T was only the small bone in his
leg which was broken. Many people
do not even 60 to bed for this injury.
He was kept in cast for four weeks,
however, and when the cast was re-
he f,n,. Ev,ff To
have experienced some little discomfort
in using the leg due to having it In a
cast so long"
Shirt Wasn't Washed.
DR.. Bocock also said the fracture of
the collarbone, which Socco said was
not treated, was given adequate medical
care.
DR.. Bocock, in statement yesterday,
admitted the hospital was at fault in
not washing the injured mans shirt as
Is customarily done.
Apparently by some oversight this
particular garment was missed and the
patient allowed to wear It to court" he
said
Socco was taken to Emergency Hos
pital Immediately after being struck by
the automobile. There he was treated
by DR.. John E. Handy Of the staff, who
noted on Socco's record card that "the
patient was so unco-operative that I
was not able to make a thorough ex-
animation"
A charge of drunkenness was lodged
against Socco and he was transferred
to Gallinger.
Yesterday Judge Given refused to try
the man. It was learned that Socco has
no money, no relatives In washington
and no place to stay.

TREASURY SAYING
REDUCES REPORTS
Annual Printing Costs Elm
mated by Some of Bu-
reaus and Units.

Some Of the annual reports Of the
bureaus and units Of the Treasury De-
partment have been eliminated this
wear in the interests Of economy, 1t was
learned today.
The appropriation Of the Treasury
Department was curtailed from an estt-
mate OF S750,000 to only 100000, in
cluding the expense Of printing all
forms used in the Internal Revenue Bu-
reau for collecting taxes. This put a
strain on the printing budget. 1t was
explained, and so annual reports have
been resorted to for savings.
Engraving and Printing.
No separate annual report will be
published this year for the Bureau of
Engraving and Printing, nor by the
Treasurer of the United States. but, it
was explained, brief reports Of their ac-
tivities will be included in the regular
annual report of the Secretary Of the
Treasury to Congress.
DR.. James M. Doran, head Of the
Bureau of Industrial Alcohol, will use
the regular publication on Statistics
port instead Of publishing another
volume.
The Bureau of Narcotics already has
issued its report on the narcotic traffic
required under international treaty, and
this will take the place of that bu-
reau's customary annual report.
Others to Be CurtaiIed.
Among the annual reports which will
be sharply curtailed will be those of
the Coast Guard, Public Health Service,
commissioner of internal revenue and
Bureau of the Mint.
The big annual report Of the Secre-
tary of the Treasury himself will be
considerably shorter this year, 1t Is pre-
dicted.
The pressure of the Treasury's print
ing budget is especially difficult to ad-
Just, on account of the new tax laws,
which not only changed the income
tax rates, but provided for many new
taxes, for which forms have had to be

CABINET SESSION
HAS LITTLE TO DO
Curtis, Adams, Mitchell, Wilbur
and Doak Attend, Others Being

Only four members of the cabinet
and Vice President Curtis were present

other cabinet officers had not returned
from their homes after the Thanksgiv-
ing holiday.
The four present were Secretary Of
the Navy Adams, Attorney General
Mitchell. Secretary Of the Interior Will
bur and Secretary of Labor Doak. Be-
cause so many of the others were away,
the President brought up very little
business at the session and concluded
it after meeting for about half an hour.
Mr.. Hoover made no engagements
for the forenoon, 1t being his desire TO
devote as much attention as possible
to completion Of the budget roessage
to be presented to Congress when 1t

this task, he viii start writing his
last annual message to the Congress.

RECRUITS DESERT
HUNGER MARCH"
DUE TO REBUFFS
Police Discount "Great Mass
Demonstration" After
Many Defections.
"MIGHTY PRELUDE" FAILS
TO ACHIEVE ITS END
Vigorous Opposition From All
Cities Along Line of Parade
Greets Communists.

The Communist-inSpired national
hunger march" to Washington is not
likely to develop into the great mass
demonstration that its leaders predict,
according to information received by
the Police Department today from police
officials in other cities
Instead of 5000 unemployed men and
women ccnverging on Washington De-
cember 4, as claimed by the Unemployed
Councils of America, which Is promoting
the march, police officials said reports
from cities where the marchers organ
lied indicate that not half that num-
Der would take part.
mighty Prelude" Fails.
The failure of the children's hunger
march" on the White House yesterday
was cited by police officials as an
example of the exaggerated statements
Of the march leaders. The childrens
march had been heralded by the Com
munists as a mighty prelude" to the
prelude which police officials declared
not only lacked might, but utterly failed
to achieve its intended goal.
Added to this failure, the hunger
march leaders have been confronted
with vigorous opposition in virtually
every city where attempts have been
made to organize groups to augment
the small columns of marchers now
en- route to Washington. City officials,
1t was reported, also have turned down
their demands for food and shelter,
and as result many Of the recruits
picked up along the line Of march have
dropped from the ranks.
The latest rebuff came from Rich
mond, Va, where Mayor Fulmer Bright
refused to grant the hunger marchers
permission to use the public parks or
the city auditorium for mass meetings.
Application for permit to use the
city property was made to Mayor
Bright by A. Tompkin, president Of
the Richmond Unemployed Council.
Pollard Refuses Aid
Gov. Pollard of Virginia already has
served notice on the Unemployed Coun-
ell that his State would refuse to feed
or shelter the marchers, and declared
that the demands for such assistance
were presumptuous.
In Washington efforts OF representa-
tiveS of the hunger marchers to solicit
food and funds to feed the unem-
ployed groups during their three-day
encampment, December 4, and 6, are
said to have met with little success.
Where to get food and shelter now ap-
pears to be the principal problem con-
fronting those in charge Of the march.
The Commissioners have insisted that
the District government is without
funds to feed and house the marchers
and. recent police survey showed that
all of the various mission houses are
crowded to capacity.
Police officials in other cities who are
keeping the Washington department
advised of the movements of the hunger
marchers, are doing SO at the request Of
Inspector Frank S. w. Burke, chief Of
detectives. This cooperation has served
to aid Burke and Maj. Ernest w. Brown,
superintendent of police, in formulating
their plans for dealing With the march,
ers when they reach Washington.
