10000 GROUPS
FACE WANT

More than 10000 families in
Washington are desperately in
need, many of them on the verge
of starvation.
This statement was made fol
lowing an exhaustive survey by
members of the emergency relief
committee of the Board of Pub
lie Welfare.
According to Leroy A. Halbert,
supervisor of the department, re-
lief workers have contacted more
than $500 families since August
l when the campaign opened.
Conditions Appalling
Mr.. Halbert said:
Conditions here are appall-
ing and far beyond the imagi-
nation of the average person.
We have received applications
for help from $500 families
and an average of so more each
day ask aid.
Congress appropriated $780,
600 month to be used in emer-
gency relief in Washington. So
far we have given aid to exactly
4,11S families, an average of
only $40 a month for each
family. The money we have is
by no means sufficient to care
for conditions here and we are
faced with the necessity to ask
for more. The average for
each family throughout the
country is $18.66."
Hold Out to Last
Mr.. Halbert said most of the
applicants do not ask for help
until they are faced with evic,
ton from homes and starvation
He added:
1--WE are able to give each
family only $40 a month and
that does not go far when there
are several children in it. 1t
must pay for the rent, fuel
food and clothes. Many fami-
lies have been living alone on
flour and water"
Mr.. Halbert predicted there
will be more suffering than ever
before when winter sets in.

HYDE PARK, N. Y, Oct.
8 G.N.S.) Back in his home
for the first time since his
invasion of the West, Gov.
Franklin D. Roosevelt today
was to be feted by his old
friends and neighbors of
Dutchess county and western
Connecticut.
At washington Hollow, 10 miles
from this village, where the old
Dutchess County Fair was held
for many years, the Democratic
Presidential nominee was to be
welcomed home by men and
women who helped to start him
on his political career 20 years
ago as a State Senator.
The Roosevelt-for President Club
of this village, first organization
of it's kind in the country. was
to play a leading role in today's
festivities.
Lehman At Fete
Lieut.. Gov. Herbert H. Lehman,
recently nominated for the
governorship by the Democrats,
was to attend the celebration
with Governor Roosevelt.
1t will be Lehman's first public
appearance since Roosevelt forced
Tammany leaders to support him
for the governorship at the State
convention earlier in the week.
There was a possibility Gov.
Wilbur L. Cross, of Connecticut,
would attend. Governor Roosevelt
insisted he had no intention of
making campaign speech.
Over the weekend the governor
planned to begin drafting the
itinerary for his campaign trip
through the heart of the South,
starting October II.

mer Senator James A. Reed Of
Missouri at the legislative man
sion in Albany working on o
speech which Reed will deliver
Monday night in Des Moines In
answer to President Hoover'S re-
cent speech in that city. Reed
said:
president HOOver's speech at
Des MOineS contained more
false conclusions and more mis-
information of facts than any
other campaign speech in my
memory.
Before coming here, Governor
Roosevelt discussed the problems
of the miners with a committee
representing the American Fedora
ton of Labor and the United
Mine Workers. In expressing the
opinion that there are too many
mine openings, he observed:
eve must work. as a general
policy, toward limitation of mine
openings and at the same time
increase the number of hours
of work week to provide q
living wage for the miners.
That necessarily calls for the
taking care of number of
people in other fields of subsis-
