CHARITIES GROUP
NEEDS S111,29l
Increase in Relief Work
Among JobIess Cited in
Plea by Ufford.

Relief demands have increased so
much that the Associated Charities will
need S1ll,29l this year in addition
10 the amount allocated by the Com
munity Chest, Walter s. Ufford gen.
eTal secretary. reported yesterday at
a Charities Board meeting.
Uhord announced the organization
cared for 2,4e9 families in February,
compared with / ,534 in February, 1881.
More than 600 of these were families
which never before had asked help.
Unemployment caused l,494 Of the ap-
plcations.
Actual relief expenditures totaled 28,-
600 last month, or a gain of 100 per
cent over the same period last year.
Our budget, as submitted to the
Community Chest Budget Committee
and allowed by that organization, ="
Unord said, was based on an estimated
increase of 35 per cent in relief funds.
1t readily can be seen that, with relief
increasing 100 per cent, our estimate
was too low and We will need the extra
to aid people at the present rate.
With the gradual closing of made
work provided by the Committee on
Employment our burden promises to
become still heavier unless steps are
taken to meet this additional burden
that will mean the need of still more
money if We are to continue to flnc-
tion properly.
The Slll,291 mentioned as needed
for additional relief is the minimum
upon which the Associated Charities
can operate properly If there is any
error. 1t is on the side Of the conserva-
tive. for my personal opinion is that
much more than that, in addition to
funds already allowed by the Com
munity Chest, will be found necessary"

small minimum"
Mr.. Dickson issued a personal appeal
to the leaders OF the subordinate local
labor organizations 10 take an active
part in this campaign. to keep 1t con-
stantly before their membership. post
appeals for cooperation in conspicuous
places. make mention of 1t whenever
sending out other appeals. and 10 see
that no let-up Is permitted until the
campaign has accomplished its pur-
pose.
Make this campaign a part Of the
regular routine Of your organization, !"
Mr.. Dickson said in addressing the
group leaders.
Wants Action, Not Words.
Valuable time should not be con-
sumed in attempting TO overcome the
depression by words. Action is what is
imperatively necessary now. Sufflce to
say the depression Is making terrific
inroads in our everyday life. and 1t
must be exterminated without further
delay.
"All Of us are mainly interested in
placing people in employment. This
| Will be realized Immediately following
the success OF this campaign TO induce
people to put back into circulation the
money that they are withholding. II
the Campaign now being conducted
against the depression is to be success
full. the drive to have released all
boarded money must first be successful.
Il sincerely request all local labor
leaders TO coordinate theE activities
with those Of the Anti -Hoarding Com
nittee Of the District Of Columbia,
headed by Mr.. Newbold Noyes.'

MIDWEST EXTENDS
DRIVE ON BOARDING
Chairman Knox Says Grow.

Several States.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, March 1o.-The weeks
campaign by the Citizen Reconstruc-
ton Organization to return boarded
money to circulation may be continued
into next week in some States.
Frank Knox, publisher Of the Chicago
Daily News and chairman of the Or
ganization by appointment Of President
Hoover, last night telegraphed heads Of
State Committees that they could, if
local conditions warranted, extend the
campaign, originally set to end this
week
I'VE have had inquiries from a num-
Der of State chairmen inquiring If the
campaign might be continued after this
week" Knox said. "All Of them report
g growing interest and gratifying prog
ress. Despite the fact that the CAM
paign was originally designed for only
one weeks duration I have suggested
to each of these chairmen that on Sat-
urday OF this week they call a meeting
of their local committee and canvass
the results secured and the possibilities
for further work. The question of con-
tinuing the work iSeo another week
would then be decided by the local
committee"
Knox said reports from over the
country indicate swift growth Of pub
lie confidence.
A Mississippi city reported $50 900 re-
leased from hiding; Arizona banks a
notable saving deposits gain, Tennessee
workers said securities were being pur-
chased with cash, New Jersey that con-
fldence has proven to be as infectious
as distrust.
A report from Indiana indicated a
cessation of Withdrawals and an up
ward trend in savings accounts. From
Washington excellent results" were
reported and Massachusetts said graf
flying results are apparent"

ODD Jobs URGED
TO AID SUFFERERS
Capper Couples Plea for Un-
employed With Attack
Against Hoarding.

An attack on boarding was coupled
with an appeal for employment Of the
unfortunate on odd jobs in a radio
talk last night by Chairman Capper Of
the Senate District Committee over Sta
ton WRC. under the auspices of the
District Employment Committee.
The boarding in this country is be-
ing done" Senator Capper declared, by
people who ought to know better They
are deliberately withholding their
money from the empty channels of COM
merce until they can see chance of
making greater profit on their invest
ment.
You have noticed lately that the
Government is issuing baby bonds to
coax some OF this money out OF its un-
boy who is looking for a safe and
S and investment, even if it is Just for
$50, will take advantage Of this offer"
Sees Many Idle Here
Turning to a discussion Of the unem-
p1oyment problem, Senator Capper said
there are many strong. ablebodied and
experienced men out Of work in Wash
ington.
Il suppose If you are housekeeper
or a salaried employe," he added, you
have never regarded yourself as an
employer Of labor Perhaps you can't
just see yourself in that light But
you know very well that yoI frequently
need somebody for an odd job.
Don't let those odd jobs be neg
lected now. They mean food clothes
and shelter to so many deserving peo-
Pile. Just check off with me list Of
odd jobs that the Committee on EN-
ployment has prepared. l think you
will be surprised to see how many can
be done in your home, no matter how
small or insignificant those jobs may
seem to you.
Lists Jobs to Be Done.
You ought to know that the Com
mittee on Employment can furnish you
with men to help you clean your eel
lar, paint your floors. clean your fur
mace, oil your washing machine, make
shelves, beat and clean rugs, paint and
put up screens, scrub floors, hang avn
ings, clean chairs, take out furnace
ashes, tend your garden-the weather
will soon be fit for that-clean out
the attic, wash windows, prune the
hedge and hundred other chores that
you haven't the time or the inclination
TO do yourself.
Il am sure you must have found
something in that list on which you
need help. And here are some occu-
pations for which the Committee on
Employment has some fine, competent
women on its register; sewing, mend
ing, laundry work. practical nursing
taking care of children, reading to old
folks or those with faulty sight. COM
panion to invalid or old person and
making sandwiches and cakes for par
ties.
But, aside from these odd jobs, it
is possible that the house or some of
the rooms or the garage may need
painting. In cases of that kind-and
I mean to include carpentry, plumb
ing, paperhanging and such work
you will be better satisfied by getting
regular follower of those trades. II

ALL FRANCE PAYS
HOMAGE TO BRAND
Body of Noted Statesman

PARIS, March 10.-The bodv of
Aristide BRAND was taken to the Ouai
d OrSay this morning without other
ceremony than the spontaneous expres-
sion Of grief which came from many
ParisianS who lined the sidewalks,
Premier Andre Tardieu and other
members of the government attended
the removal. The body was placed in
the clock room at the Quai d'Orsav.
where 1t will remain until the funeral
Saturday.
The body was borne SLOWLY IN the
salon where he signed the Briand-KeI-
logg pact to outlaw war. There were
impressive evidences Of his popularity
with the people.
All France Mourns.
Thousands of persons from all parts
Of France, including peasants and
mothers and children who suffered from
the war. continued today to stream into
Paris to pay homage TO the APOSTLE of
peace, and great crowds stood with
barred heads as the coffin was carried
through the streets from Brands
apartment in the Avenue Kleber.
Besides the government officials and
members OF M. Brands family, the late
Statesman'S faithful valet. Emile who
never left his masters side during the
last 20 years and who always slept OUT
side his door, took part in the process
SIGN.
Many provincial cities have signified
their intention Of naming streets after
M. BRAND. Some members of the
Chamber OF Deputies began a move
ment today to have him buried in the
Pantheon, beside such notables as Vic
tor Hugo, Voltaire and Jean jacques
Rousseau.
Messages of coincidence from France
ana all parts of the world continued
to flow in a volume almost unprece-
dented. A Partisan boy student brought
bouquet OF roses with a card on
which was written:
Before the coffin Of this illustrious
Frenchman, this great pacifst, M.
BRAND, swear to struggle like him,
TO the last breath, for peace and fra
ternity among peoples"
Newspapers have received appeals
from many mothers urging Frenchwom-
en- to join in Saturdays funeral pro-
cession as mark of homage to the
apostle OF peace and "as a manifesto
ton OF Frances will to outlaw war for
ever"
Declared TO Die in Sadness.
BRAND died in sadness" said lie
Temps today, almost in exile, but
death brought him victory His spirit
has gone afar, but Briandism has be-
come almost world religion"
The famous clock in the foreign Office
salon was draped in black and behind
the catafalque on which the coffin
rested was a background of the national
colors of France with large wreath
of olive branches symbolizing M,
Brands lifework for peace. The four
extinguished and only few lights were
left to illuminate the catalogue, leav-
ing scene Of simplicity and grandeur.

TOXIC POLICE FIND
HUGE DEATH PLOT
Small Band of UItra-Patriots
Blamed for Assassination
of NotabIeS.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
TOXIC, March 10.-Tokio police said
yesterday they believed they had uncov-
cred the existence of a small band of
ultra patriots, dedicated to the assassin
alton Of notableS in japanese public life
and responsible for the Staying of Jun
nosuke Inouye, former finance minis
ter, and Baron Takuma Dan.
They arrested today a man named
Daiji Kurosawa, who they said was a
third member of the Blood Brother
hood" to which the two peasant slay-
ers of Inouye and Baron Dan belonged.
Their efforts, they indicated, were
being handicapped by obstacles i'm
posed through the influence of strong
reactionary groups, but they hinted
that the trails they were pursuing ap-
peared to lead to individuals high in
the councils of japanese ultra patriotic
societies.
Two Others Sought.
1t was understood that two of these
"higher-ups" already have been tenn
porarily detained and that a search is
being continued for two surviving
members of the brotherhood who are
still at large. These were Identified as
Nissho Inouye, a Buddhist priest, and
Fiji Furuuchi, a schoolmaster of the
District Ibaraki Prefecture, from which
the slayers OF the former finance min
lister and the baron hailed.
They said they believed Nissho Inouye
and the schoolmaster Furuuchi had
greatly Influenced the minds of the
aSsaSsins.
They announced that the weapons
with which Baron Dan and the for
mer finance minister were slain had
been traced to Lieut.. Comdr. Full, a
naval aviator and also a member of
the original brotherhood, who was killed
was shot down.
Grew Out of Treaty.
They believed, they said. they had
established that Lieut.. Comdr. Fujii
bought eight Browning pistols from a
Darien dealers in Manchuria, two of
which were given to the assassin of
Inouye and Baron Dan. The remain
ing six we're not placed.
AS police officials slowly constructed
their story it appeared that in 1880,
Lieut. Fujii, indignant at what he con-
sidered a betrayal OF Japan BY the
sgning of the London Naval Treaty,
formed the brotherhoom of six members
who were pledged to do away with
enemies of the empire. Ffnanciers were
made the first targets because the ultra
patriots believed financial interests
shared with politicians-whom they
thought the financiers controlled-in a
responsibility for having betrayed the
interest of the empire at the behest
Of foreign powers.
