LOAN ACTIVITIES
DEFENDED BY
BOARD HEAD
Miller FaVorS U. S. Guarantees
To Industry; Pomerene
Backs Associates

The actual needs" OF the un
employed in America are being
met by the Reconstruction Fl
nance Corporation, Charles A
Miller, president of the corpora
tion's board, declared today at q
Senate hearing on the $500,000,
600 LaFollette- -Costigan relief bill
He declared:
Nobody is being left to
starve."
Two recommendations were
made by the witness. One was
that in any new relief legislation
Federal funds be distributed on a
basis of need rather than on a
population basis. The other was
that work relief" be provided in.
stead of a dole.
Cheaper in Long Run
The granting of work relief will
be cheaper in the long run, Miller
asserted.
Senator Wheeler CD Of Mon
Eana said:
"The trouble is that the
people and the Congress have
not realized the absolute neceS-
sity of a vast public works
program. If we had started q
huge program Of construction
two years ago, we wouldn't be
under the necessity of prOvid-
ing a dole now"
Miller defended the board
against criticisms that niggard-
ly policy has been pursued in
granting relief, saying:
every dollar wasted takes
food out of somebody's mouth.
We are trying to run the cor
pOratiOn on a business basis.
If you don't think we are doing
. good job, for goodness sake
take it away from us"
Miller declared he views with
favor the plan advocated by sew
eral economists for a Federal
guarantee of production costs to
industry.
Conditional Guarantee
This guarantee, he explained,
would be conditional on the i'm
mediate speeding Of all productive
enterprises to afford employment.
Asked how much it would cost,
Miller replied:
81 doubt that it would cost
anything"
Wheeler asked former Senator
Atlee Pomerene, of the organiZa-
ton, how many loan applications
have been turned down by the
r. F.. c.
81 don't think we've turned
them dOwn-we've reduced
them somewhat" said POmer-
enc.
Said Senator Costigan:
The committee has received
testimony that the peak of re-
lief needs will not be reached
for at least one year after the
economic situation begins to i'm
prove. Have you anything to
say on 4hat?"
Pomerene replied that it would
be 'pure guess work. to predict
any situation a year in advance.
He praised the personnel Of the
r. F. c. Board.

police department and the courts will
give me cooperation. we can put SO
public enemies in the workhouse or
penitentiary within 80 days"
The foreman, William Feather, acted
with startling suddenness in opening his
hostilities against crime. Seldom, If
ever, before had grand jury foreman
exercised his legal right to issue sub
poenas and conduct an investigation,
and for time it seemed that his plans
might get snagged.
Presiding Criminal Court Judge Sam
uel. H. Silbert requested Feather and
County Prosecutor Frank Cullitan to
confer with him because there has been
little misunderstanding, and we want
to avoid friction" The meeting never
was held, however, for Judge Silbert
later said, Feather and Cullitan, find,
are in accord"
So 1t was that Police Chief George

COMMISSION ASKED
FOR LUNACY CASES.
Commissioner Reiche|derfer
to Petition Congress on Re-
tirement of DR.. Hick|ing.

Congress will be asked to provide for
establishment of lunacy commission
to handle insane cases in the District
DR.. Luther H. Reichelderfer, president
of the Board of Commissioners. said
today in commenting on the annual re-
port of the District alienist, DR.. D.
Percy Hickling.
DR.. Hickling will retire from District
service tomorrow, having reached the
automatically. DR.. Hickling has been
in District government service for more
than 80 years.
Measure Presented Before.
The measure proposing lunacy COM
mission to handle work now conducted
by the alienist, has been presented to
Congress during the past two regular
sessions, but has not come up for final
consideration.
In renewing recommendation for such
commission, DR.. Eickling suggested
that the body be formed along the lines
OF commissions existing in the majority
of the States.
81 believe that such a commission
under the District alienist, consisting of
a representative from the corporation
counsels Office and the Board of Pub
lie Welfare, the sanitary officer and the
assistant alienist," he said, should
have jurisdiction under the law not only
for the admission Of patients to St.
Elizabeth's Hospital, but for the dis
charge of District cases who have been
previously committed.
THE interest of the District of Co.
lumbia in the discharge of cases. in
my Judgment, should not be ignored
This board could function without
additional expenses to the District Of
Columbia and. in my opinion. there
need be no change in existing laws.
All these departments are directly in
terested and at times, under the pres
ent situation, unnecessary friction
occurs"
Alienist Retires Tomorrow.
When Dr. Hickling retires tomorrow
his work will be transferred to the
chief alienist attached to Gallinger
Municipal Hospital. This official is DR..
Joseph L. Gilbert This was provided
for in the District appropriation act for
salary for DR.. Hickling and a stenog-
rapher only to September 30. The Gal
linger alienist will receive no additional
compensation. SO that there will be a
saving Of $4,000 a year under this
system.
Dr. Hickling reported that during
the past fiscal year 210 cases were
examined at ST. Elizabeth's Hospital,
the same number as during the pre-
ceding year. but that there were 542
cases examined at Gallinger Hospital,
an increase of 72 over the preceding
yer.
During the past year, he said, 631
cases were committed TO st. Elizabeth S
Hospital for care and treatment and
50 cases committed to the District
Training School.
