''Toy Matinees" Saturday

~ MALL, beseeching hands are lifted
this Christmas by children new
to poverty, from homes amply
~ provided for last year.
Help the "t6y matinee" fill
these hands with gifts, now that the
need Is threefold. and unemployment
has swelled the ranks Of destitute boys
and girls
There win be a matinee In every
community Saturday morning, arranged
by Warner Bros. In cooperation with
The Star-l2 in all, each offering NOV
ing pictures Of strong appeal to chill
dren.
A new toy or a new bit Of clothing
for some unfortunate boy or girl,
Christmas gift from an unseen friend
that is the only admission charge.
$500 Gifts Last Year.
Last year two matinees piled up 2,500
gifts. But this years parties, like the
need for them. are wider in scope.
More than $500 impoverished fam
lilies are listed this year with the
Emergency Relief Committee alone,
aside from thousands of others under
the care Of private agencies.
An average of three children per fam
lily Is a conservative estimate-children
who have no one to look to for the
small. bright gifts that make or break
Christmas happiness.
The Community Chest agencies have
had to cut down their budgets. Cash
gifts to the various agencies, too, are
sadly lacking this year-gifts to provide
Christmas cheer for the poor.
Little inmates of hospitals and insti-
tutions, orphans living with foster par
ents will receive TOY matinee" gifts,
as well as other unfortunates in the
homes of the unemployed.
Plan for Distribution.
A careful plan of distribution has
been worked out by the Council of
Social Agencies, in touch with more
destitute homes than any other group
in the city.
The gifts will be collected from the
theaters by the trucks of large stor-
age company, which has volunteered
this service to the council. Just be-
fore Christmas they will go out to hos
pitals, poverty-darkened homes, the
slum areas, spreading happiness among
the forgotten and forlorn.
The city-wide appeal already is
bringing results. Children and adults

Declares.

The Community Chests need Of sup

ling Of Holy Name parish at the quar-
terly meeting yesterday of the Society
of st. Vincent de Paul.
Mass and communion were celebrated
at Immaculate Conception Church after
ward, with a sermon by Rev. Francis j.
Hurney.
Speaking for the Community Chest,
Father Dowling urged every one to get
behind the Chest and give it all the
support possible I'VE of the Catholic
Church." he said, realize the need of
success of the Community Chest. If
the Chest does not succeed, all agencies
will have to reduce their budget, which
will cause great suffering. During this
time we should give as during the ar
until it hurts. Because it is necessary
to make up the deficit of the Com
munity Chest, make our slogan during
this time OF need, Give until it hurts. "

dared to speak against the Representa-

claring I was mistaken and demanding
proof of my assertions.
"I produced a list Of contributions
by brewers and distillers and had them
inserted in the Record. I predicted
then he would not be re-elected-and
have lived to see my prediction come
true.
Amazed at Admissions.
"I have been amazed at the brazen
admissions OF these witnesses, and to
hear the representatives Of liquor inter-
ests frankly and honestly admit that
they could not guarantee, If beer was
returned, 1t would do away with boot
Logging. In fact they admit they do
not believe 1t would. Then in heavens

"Mr. Chairman: desire to insert in
the record the front page editorial Of
the woman voter, which states that
both the Republican and Democratic
parties have promised in their plat
forms they would prevent the saloon
from coming back-so before we women
will ever agree to any change-we want
to know what the proposition is in ad-
vance.

"Cne after another" he said, these
States are repeating their enforcement
acts. Instead Of it looking like liquor
control, it looks now like they want
liquor whether 1t Is controlled or not. !"
The speaker declared 1t was "incon-
sistent" to turn back to the States
control of liquor which had been taken
away from them by the Nation be-
cause the States had failed to control it.
Despite promises to the contrary,
Representative Moore said he had been
assured by many vets that II there
was repeal the saloon would return.
He criticized proposals for the Federal
Government to stand the expense OF
State conventions to vote on the re-
peal proposal, and ventured the opinion
that the average man in the street
failed to realize that he individually
would be given no chance to vote on
repeal. The voting, he explained,

Although the Senate Economy Com

The District department Of the Amer

Hamilton Hotel Wednesday night to
study further plans for fighting the pay
cut and other restrictions proposed to
be invoked against Federal workers next

Michael Schaefer, District president,
announced the meeting yesterday.
Government workers are facing q
crisis" he said. They are threatened
with becoming still more unfortunate
victims of the hysteria Of wage cutting
that has swept the country. Industry
has slashed salaries until buying power
has been shattered, and now the Fed
eral Government is being pressed to
take the same drastic action.
Time to End Cycle.
This cycle of wage cutting must
come to an end, and there seems to be
no agency left to stop it but the Fed
eral Government. II that fails, there
Is little likelihood of seeing good times
as soon as we should be able to expect
them. would like some one to tell
me how 1t Is going to help the country
to pass any sort of pay-cut measure
which, in effect, will be admitting that
the depression is going to continue for
several years to come.
1T is time for all wage earners to
stand together. The reduction Of Fed
eral salaries is of Importance to all
workers, for it commits the Govern
ment to a policy which must be opposed
and must be eliminated from industrial
practice If this country Is ever to return
to prosperous times"
Reports to Be Heard.
The meeting also will hear reports on
the recent convention of the American
Federation Of Labor, which declared
opposition to wholesale pay cuts in
Government and backed the move for
extension Of classification to the field
service.

BLAINE HEADS UNIT
|. TO STUDY REPEAL
Senate Judiciary Committee
Turns All Prohibition Mat
ters Over to Subgroup.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Speeding action, the Senate Judiciary
Committee at its first meeting OF the
session today referred all prohibition
repeal legislation to subcommittee
headed by Senator Blaine, Republican,
of Wisconsin, foe Of national prohi-
bition.
He announced the committee would
get to work as soon as possible, and
said he did not believe hearings would
be necessary.
Others appointed to the subcommit-
tee were Senators Borah, Republican.
of Idaho; Hebert. Republican, Of Rhode
Island; Walsh, Democrat, Of Montana,
and Dill, Democrat, of Washington.
Four Favor Repeal Vote.
Four of the five members of the sub
committee are in favor Of submitting
a repeal resolution, with Borah the only
opponent.
Chairman Blaine told newspapermen
he held the opinion that you can't
write constitutional amendment pro-
hibiting the saloon without saying tnat
liquor cannot be consumed on the
premises, which will mean worse con-
dition than we have now.
THE question of liquor control must
be left to the States.
There is nothing to hear on the sub
ject any more" he said, as to hearings.
II am not going to hold any hearings
unless a majority of the subcommittee
sits
Several repeal resolutions are before
the committee, the most prominent OF
which Is by Senator Glass, Democrat,
of Virginia, and was referred to it by
the Senate last week for study and a
report.
This measure would include protec-
ton for dry States from adjoining wet
territory and contain a prohibition
against the saloon.
Medicinal Liquor Studied.
Blaine is author Of another resolu-
ton, which has received some study
from both friends and foes of suomis-
sion.
1t would repeal the amendment, but
substitute a provision preventing the
shipment of liquor into dry States,
though allowing shipments through
such States into wet territory.
The subcommittee also will study bills
to loosen regulations on medicinal
liquor.
The chairman's statement indicated
there will be sharp conflict over any
attempt to place q ban against the
saloon in the proposed new amendment.
The Judiciary Committee itself is
widely divided on this question.
Borah is expected to seek strict pro-
lection for dry States. Though he
would like also to provide against re-
turn of the saloon, the Idaho Senator
Is convinced it cannot be done.
Senator Hebert repeatedly during the
recent campaign Endorsed the Repub-
lican plank advocating a constitutional
prohibition against return Of the saloon,
though his friends believe he would not
insist upon that clause.
Senators Walsh and Dill, Democratic
members Of the group, have not an
nounced what form Of submission
resolution they favor.
