 at TyngsbOrO, Mass

Tyngsboro, Mass, Dec 20.-(UP) Pen brothers and 51 young stu dents for the brotherhood escaped when fire destroyed the Marist Brothers Juniorate, Catholic in stitution, here last night, causing estimated loss of $175, 1000.
 The students were on the first floor practicing Christmas carols when the fire was discovered on the third floor of the four-story brick and granite structure. As result, the brothers had no difficulty in leading the youths from the build- ing.
 Bremen from five cities fought the blaze, but because of the isola- tion of the Juniorate, it's location on hill. and a scarcity of water. it was impossible to save the build- ing.
 The students will be transferred to Marist houses in Lowell and Lawrence.

Young Itdlian Radio Singer Killed By Rejected Suitor

Giusti was accused of killing her on the eve of her departure for New York. There she was to re- ceive a tryoutl with the Metropoli- tan Opera company, the goal of the Italian girl whose singing had won her an audience with the president of the United States, musical scholarships, prizes and a radio contract.
 After the shooting in the back yard of the Da Prato home, Giusti was taken to the local police sta- ton. A mob quickly formed, with Prestco Da Prate, her brother, in its forefront.
 'I'll see you swing" shouted the infuriated brother. Cries of lynch him arose as determined peace authorities, swinging heavy clubs, fought their way to Giusti's rescue.
 Angry hands snatched at the frightened prisoner as he was whisked away to the stronger Red but 30 miles from San Jose, where a mob had hanged two dxidnap- slayers a month ago.
  Rolph in condoning the action of that mob and promising a pardon for any member who was convict ed, aroused a nationwide con- troversy.
 Sobbing. contrite and bewildered, Giusti told of his race and jeal- ousy following the pretty Emilia's s decision to choose a career. in pref erence to matrimony.
 "I was unable to sleep for nine nights. I bought gun, intending to shoot myself. I raised the gun to my head.
 "But at that moment, she slam, med the door in my face. Some thing snapped in my mind. Mother of God, don't know what came over me. I grabbed the door open and fired. I am awfully sorry"

GOVERNOR WILL HEAR REQUESTS
So Many Demands for a Special Session, He Has
 Called Hearing

Hartford. Conn, Dec 2O.-CUP) -Bombarded with requests that he call a special session of the legisla- ture, Governor Cross has decided to hold a meeting next week at which he will discuss the demands
 He has informed the Connecti- GU. Hotel association, which has been most insistent in asking for an extra session, that he will hear their arguments. Special sessions shall be called only in cases of emergency, the law states, and the hotel owners, unableto sell liquor, say such an emergency exists.
 It is possible the governor will also consider the possible neces- sity of a special session in order to liberaliZe the law so that govern ment bonds of the Home Owners Loan Corporation may be taken more readily by banks. According to Peter M. Kennedy state director of the Home Loan Corporation, no request for special session has been made.

WORK HAS GIVEN
AID To 800
FAMILIES
Most of Jobs Provided For
Laborers BY Office Opened
! In HyattSViIIe

Work provided through the
facilities of the Hyattsville office
OF the National Unemployment
Service has relieved suffering in
about $50 Prince Georges county
families.
A survey of the Offices work by
T. j. Camfield, manager, shows
that 337 heads of families have
been given employment by the job
bureau in As days.
The office was opened in the
Hyattsville Municipal Building a
month and half ago.
Mostly Labor Jobs
Most of the jobs were provided
Ror laborers.
Registration sheets in the en-
ployment office show that through
those persons hired 842 depend
ents were affected by the pay
rolls.
When applying for jobs the
family heads were required to
sta the number of persons de-
pending on them for support.
The average wage paid the
1aborers hired through the employ
ment office is As cents an hour or
81 q day.
Suffering Relieved
With this Mr.. Camfield feels
confident that his office has
helped a little to relieve the suf-
fering that would have come about
this winter if those who were
given jobs had remained unem-
ployed.
Out Of the number given work,
only IL were women, Mr.. Camfield
said.
Families provided for through
one wage Garner who applied at
the Hyattsville job bureau num-
ber as large as 13 children. An
other laborer who was given work
has 10 children. Several have
eight and nine.
Registering of unemployed will
continue all winter, Mr.. Camfield
said.

An appalling picture of under
nourished childhood was painted
by Harry L. Hopkins, Federal Re-
lief Administrator, at the opening
session today of the Child Health
Recovery Conference called by the
children's bureau in the Red Cross
Auditorium.
Mr.. Hopkins said that 100000
children were today on public re-
lief rolls in the United States.
How many more were receiving re-
lief from private sources or going
without, he said, he was unable to
estimate.
Live On so Cents a Day
These 100000 are living on an
average income of so cents a day
for the entire family. Said Mr..
Hopkins.
Il presume one of the reasons
this conference was called is be-
cause some people don't believe
these 100000 children are get
ting enough to eat. Well, they
are not.
But it can be done. It must
be done. It is inexcusabIe in this
country that these children are
not properly cared for. We are
going to take care Of them this
winter. That is all there is to it.
If it isn't done it will be the
fault of those people admins
tering relief. Our own fault.
There is no shirking of the re-
SpOnsibility."
The conference was opened by
Secretary of Labor Perkins, who
brought a greeting from President
Roosevelt. In the message the
