MANY ASK HELP
WHO NEED NONE

Administration of the $35OOOO
fund appropriated by Congress
for District relief is being ham
pered by jobless men and women
not in need of immediate relief,
Leroy A. Halbert, supervisor of
the fund, said today.
Of the 4,2OO applications for re-
lief so far received, Halbert said,
a large percentage are persons,
who. while they have lost their
jobs, are getting along on what
they have.
Mr.. Halbert pointed out that
the emergency relief division of
the Board of Public Welfare,
charged with the administration
of the fund, is an organization to
give emergency and work relief
only to those persons who do not
have the necessities of life.
Work relief is being given to
emergency cases, he said, and it
is planned to give several clerical
jobs on Monday. More than 600
needy men have been given lab

TWO MEN HELD
. IN NUMBERS

Whoever said there is safety
in numbers" has much to learn,
to take the word of Arthur Dove.
of Bethesda, and Rudolph Iver-
son, of 1894 Conduit Rd., both
colored, who were arrested yes
terday by Montgomery county po-
lice.
Arthur had believed the old
axiom himself and was running a
numbers game when arrested
by Policemen Thomas DeNell and
Webb Hersperger. He also was
charged with larceny of an auto
mobile battery.
Iverson's arrest came about
when Deputy Sheriffs Charles M.
Orme and T. N. Waters stopped
Rudolph Thom,5 Neal colored,
who lives at the Conduit Road
address, for speeding. They found
a device for gambling and since
Iverson was the owner of the car
in which the paraphenalia was
found, he was charged with run
ming a numbers game.

KIN Of M|KADO
HELD FOR JURY

A sharp tiff between Justices
of the Peace Robert E. Joyce
and John A. Downing, threatened
last night to disrupt an IN
quest into the death of Charles
Christensen, IS, of Hyattsville.
Following the hearing, Robert
Matsudaira, 10, of Edmonston,
Md, kinsman of the Japanese
Emperor and of former Ambassa-
dor Matsudaira, and driver of
the car that struck and instantly
killed Christensen three weeks
ago, was held for the grand jury
on charge manslaughter.
The argument between the
magistrates arose when the coro-
ner's jury asked why Magistrate
Downing had dismissed a reck-
less driving charge against MatSu-
daira and issued a certificate of
accidental death.
Justice of the Peace Joyce,
who presided at last nights hear
ing, called on his colleague to
take the stand and explain his
action.
Downing refused to testify and
challenged the right of Joyce and
Constable Carl M. Blanchard,
who arrested Matsudaira, to re-
open the case.

DOGPO|SON|NGS
STIR CITIZENS

Police are investigating the
deaths of six pet dogs and the
poisoning of several others in
southeast Washington yesterday.
Residents of that section are of
the belief that the dogs were
killed either by an enemy of ami
mails or by burglars who wished
to rid the neighborhood of dogs
which might interfere with their
activities.
The dead animals are: Skippy,
a 3-year-old fox terrier, owned by
Fred E. Wightman, of 1919 A st.
S. E.; Spud, 2, bulldog, the pet
of Mr.. and Mrs. Wilton Green,
ia Eighteenth St. S. E.; Spot and
Brownie. hounds, owned by An
drew Houston, of 18 Nineteenth
6. S. E., the house in which
Beulah Limerick met her death.
The bodies of two other dogs
were found by Carroll Landvoight,
18. of 1907 A St. S. E., in an alley
in the rear of his home, but they
have not as yet been identified.

WEEK
FORSAkEN

The announced return of the
Civil Service Commission to the
five-and-one-half day week has
sounded the doom of any spread
of the fiveday week which it
sponsored to other Departments,
it was indicated today.
Although the main reason given
for forsaking the short-Week sys-
tenn, which was so strongly urged
on all Federal establishments by
the Commission officials. was the
inSistence of Comptroller Gen.
eral ]. R. McCarl on a larger pay
reduction for such employees than
for others, other complications
attending the short-Week plan
have been big factor.
No office could be found today
which gives any indication Of
changing now to the shortWeek
plan, following its abandonment
by the Commission which is con-
sidered a bell Wether" for the
Government in personnel matters.
The Labor Department, Ma
tional Advisory Committee for
Aeronautlcs, and Employees Com
pensation Commission, have an
nounced they will retain the
short-week plan for their per
annum employees, while the Gov
ernment Printing Office and Navy
Yard will retain it for their per

Sunday and seats will be avail
able to the public as we'll as to
the Knights of Columbus, who
will open their Supreme Golden
Anniversary convention Sunday.
Uniformed delegations and
bands from many cities will take
part in the parade preceding the
unveiling of the monument. Col.
John j. Phelan, chairman of
the parade committee, is pre-
pairing to handle 10000 march
ers including the bands and
military contingents, but the
latest reports, he says, show
strong possibilities that this num-
Der will be exceeded. There
will be 20 bands and drum
corps from Washington alone.
The prospect of being reviewed
by President Hoover, Governor
Albert C. Ritchie and other dig
nitaries, he points out, causes
every council to want strong
representation in the parade.
Both the National and Colum-
bia broadcasting companies will
carry the unVeilinp ceremonies
on a nationwide hook-up and
neWsreels have applied for per

Sunday night the Knights of

Settlement of ReparationS
Chiefly Responsible, Says
6. O. P. Leader

The adjournment of Con-
gress, the Administration S
economic relief program, and
settlement of the German
reparations proble m has
brought a definite improve
ment in business conditions
that will be lasting, Senator
Simeon d. Fcss of Ohio, for
mer Republican national chair
man, declared. today.
This improvement in business,
said Fess, will aid in re-electing
President Hoover. He confidently
predicted Ohio would go Repub-
lican again in the fall.
Cites Stocks Rise
Fess discredited reports that
the upward movement in the
New York Stock Exchange was
being manipulated" He said it
was far too broad" to be manipu-
lated and included not only stock
values but commodity and farm
prices.
FeSs credited the settlement of
the German reparations problem
with starting the recovery Of
business. He said the agreement,
fixing reparations at $7O0,O00.O00,
kept Germany from going into
bankruptcy.
Banks More Liberal
FeSS said the administration
economic relief program, as
enacted by Congress, was also
effective. He declared banks
were showing a more liberal
attitude toward credit demands
for business purposes and that
means the employment of labor"
A third factor, he added. was
the adjournment of Congress.
He explained:
"Fear was widespread in bust
ness circles that Congress
might get off on the wrong
track in relief legislation. Fear
of unSOund legislation was felt.
Say what you want about Con-
gress, its adjournment helped
business"

Meeting, First Since
Convention.

President Hoover today conferred for
the first time since the Republican Ma
tional Convention with Everett Sanders,
who, as the new chairman of the na-
tional committee, is to conduct his cam
paign for reelection.
This conference, which was held in
the Presidents Office, was very brief
one.
According to Mr. Sanders, who was
with the President on this occasion,
hardly more than minutes, they dis
cussed the forthcoming campaign cnly
casually. He indicated that other con-
ferences will follow, when they will go
into more details.
Mr.. Sanders announced that Chicago
would be main headquarters for the
Republican campaign and that the
headquarters for the Eastern activities
would be in New York City. The chair
man himself will occupy a desk at the
Chicago office. He said he expects
however to make frequent visits to New
York and intimated that probably he
would have occasion to come to Wash

HELM DENIES SAYING
HE'D BACK AL SMITH
Former Senator Says Hoover Will
Be Hard to Beat if Busi-

Former Senator J. Thomas Heflin OF
Alabama denied today he told an audi
ence in Wilkes-Ba Pa, Saturday
that he would "even support Al Smith"
If he decided to bolt the Hoover ticket,
which he supported in the 1928 cam
paign.
The Alabaman, who was read out of
the Democratic party as a result of his
support OF Hoover, was quoted in an
Associated Press dispatch from the
Pennsylvania city as saying: II am now
giving the economic situation deep
thought. If 1 reach, as I expect, the
conclusion that President Hoover is per-
sonally responsible for the depression,
I will support the Democratic nominee,
whoever he may be. I would even
support Al Smith"
Mr.. Hef1in, in letter to The Star,
asserted: Il wish to say 1 made no
such statement, either publicly or pri-
vately." In statement issued later he
added:
II was also incorrectly reported in
same reports as to what I said about
the presidential elections. What said
was: If conditions remain as bad as
they are today and a good Democrat is
nominated at Chicago one that will
command the united support of the
party, he will win. But if conditions
greatly improve and cotton, corn,
wheat, cattle and hogs are bringing a
good price and labor is employed, Hoo
yer will be hard to beat"
