.U.S.CUTSBOOST
|. RELIEF CALLS

Drastic reductions in Federal
personnel have swelled the list
Of applicants for relief at the
District relief organization, Leroy
A. Halbert, director Of emergency
relief, revealed today.
Many of the applicants are of
the white collar class" Halbert
said, although he pointed out
that others were Of the servant
class which has been indirectly
affected by Federal economies.
The demands for relief have
broken records, mounting yester-
day to 225 applications. There
were 180 the day before. The
average number of daily applica-
tions has been 100 since July l
as compared to a previous so
and rs.
With the effect Of Federal re-
trenchment Shunted to the
shoulders of District relief agencies
it appeared likely, Halbert said,
that a wedding out of certain
cases would be necessary.
Approximately 10000 persons
are receiving aid at a cost Of
$4,000 weekly.

Of ABUSES

PITTSBURGH, July IL U.N.S0.
The Gallagher investigating COM
mission reconvened here today
with testimony of "free work, I"
illegal overtime, low wages and
poor working conditions already
spread upon the record.
The most salient testimony yet
adduced is that highly skilled
workmen formerly employed at
good wages have been replaced
by women and girls who receive
but a small fraction Of the former
wage rate for men.
Male Workers Displaced
Thus, a furniture company Is
paying girls $40 a week for work
for which men workers once re-
ceived $1.25 an hour.
A dairy company pays girls $12
a week. Male employees, now dis
placed, used to receive $25 to
$29 q week for the same work.
A beauty shop paid 81 a week
to q cashier for II hours work a
day. The shop supplied a water
cooler-but made the employees
pay for the ice.
A five-and-tencent store laid
girsl off for one day and "docked''
the day from their wages when
they failed to meet an arbitrary
sales quota.
RepriSalS Threatened
Meanwhile, threats Of reprisal
by employers If employees ap.
peared to testify were prevalent
In this connection, Evelyn M
Hughes, State labor department
investigator, remarked:
1--WE thought the PennSyl-
vania Dutch country would pre-
sent the greatest obstacle in
this line, but it cannot COM
pare with Pittsburgh"

CUMMINGS DUE
. To ASK RACKET
FIGHT FUND
By International News Service


Challenged with the defiance Of
public authority by kidnapers
operating in various parts Of the
country, Attorney General Cum
mings today was considering the
necessity of additional funds o
fight what he considers a clear
menace to civilization by the
"armies of the underworld"
With all available agents Of the
department searching for the kid
napers of John ]. O'Connell, Jr.,
prominent Albany man, as well as
engaged in a manhunt for other
kidapers and the bandits who re-
Gently murdered a group Of Fed
eral and State officials in the
Kansas City Union Station, Off
cialS became increasingly con-
WINGED the present allotment OF
funds for law enforcement was in
adequate.
Funds Were Slashed
The Department of Justice ap-
propriation as authorized by the
last Congress was cut drastically
by Budget Director Lewis Douglas
en the interest of economy.
At the time he announced the
reduction Cummings said that II
It appeared the crime prevention
campaign and activities Of the de-
partment under the Industrial Re-
eovery Act exhausted facilities
authorized under the allowance Of
funds, it would be necessary for
him to confer with the budget di-
rector relative to the situation.
In many sections Of the country
the department is being openly
defied by criminals.
Kidnapings have become fire.
Uuent, with apparent contempt Of
the Federal and State authority.
Cummings admitted frankly that
the crime situation has gotten out
Of control Of the local authorities
and that it has become necessary
for the Federal Government to
take cognizance of its nationwide
and interstate scope to step into
the breach.
The suggestion was made that
9acketeers and gangsters who are
''chiselling in" on private business
should be made amenable to the
industrial codes and the penalties
provided therein, now being set up
BY the industrial recovery admin
1stration. It was expected the De-
partment of Justice would require
substantial force to enforce the
provisions of the codes against the
So-called "chiselerS."

the plans. This fund would be
devoted to construction for the
Bureau of Mines Department.
The meeting also approved a
B0.foot highway along the present

FOUR CRASHED
 TODEATH WHEN
 PLANE DROPPED
Pilot Was Doing Stunts Over Mass Cities When
 Wings Buckled

Westboro, Mass, Oct 30-(UP)- Terrific strain imposed on the wings by repeated power dives was believed today to have sent a new Red Cabin monoplane crashing to earth, with a loss of four lives, near Westboro airport Sunday.
 The dead:
 George Frederick Chapman, Al, veteran Boston pilot.
 Oliver H. Walton, S4, head of the Walton & Son Elastic Webbing company of Needham, who had bought the plane recently for fam- fly use.
 Mrs Ruth Walton, 34, his wife, who was taking her first airplane ride.
 Clarence B. Heath, Jr, 23, or Dedham, student pilot, who had been invited to join the Waltons in a short flight. 7
 The plane, with Chapman, at the controls, left Westwood airport, at Dedham, was seen in mild stunts over Boston a few minutes later, and shortly before noon appeared at an altitude of 1900 feet over Worcester, where its repeated dives attracted the attention off thou sands.
 Later it continued its dives over Westboro airport while hundreds watched. Suddenly the plane wob- bled, and its next power dive, in which it attained an estimated speed of 200 miles per hour, sent 1t crashing to earth from a height of $50 feet. It missed by only a few feet the Fairbanks homestead, and buried it's nose three feet in the ground.
 Paul Smith, standing outside his home 400 yards away, said that as the plane dived 1t shed bits of can- vas which he at first had mistaken for "some sort of handbills." When he saw the plane crash, he ran nito the house and telephoned to police and physicians.
 Heath apparently had tried to leap from the plane as it fell. His body lay on the ground several feet away. Police found Walton's body in the wreckage, but further search revealed no additional victims, and 1t was announced that only two had been killed. Not until police and firemen had turned over the wreckage with crowbars were the other two bodies extricated.
 Only the fact that a neighbor had taken him to Sunday school probably saved Eddie Walton, 4, from sharing his parents fate. The ,Waltons had planned to take him with them.

 How much Wiggin made in those booming Coolidge years is not known but the committee ex- poets to get a reasonably accurate idea of 1t. How much he was worth at the crest of the market is mater for speculation. Some persons have estimated his 1929 wealth at $500 poo ,000. There have been losses since then. Only last week a $100,000 retirement pen- sion was taken from Wiggin when stockholders of the bank were aroused to angry protest by Pe- cora's revelation that it was being paid.

 Longs persistent criticism of President Roosevelt and the MIRA also is having Q telling effect on his popularity, judged by develop- ments of the past few weeks.
