Urging her listeners TO realize
the power that lies in women IS
hands and which would make them
an irresistible force if they but
took advantage of it for concerted
action. Mrs. Charles II. Richmond

an, presided at the interesting pro-
gram given Saturday at the Bar
bara Worth hotel for the Women IS
University club.
Mrs. Richmond S remarks dealt
with the formation of Marathon
round table groups, organizations
affiliated with the National Coun-
ell for the Cause and Cure of War
and which are study groups on in
ternational subjects. r =.

international thinking, and, as out
lined in Saturdays issue of The
Press, several are in the process of
formation locally under the aus
pices of the Women S University
club Mrs. Richmond is the South
ern California chairman of these
groups
In connection with her remarks
concerning international peace,
Mrs. Richmond stressed the en-
barge resolution which is to come
before the United States senate,
having already been endorsed by
the house and which, generally
speaking. is concerned with the en-
barge on the sale of munitions to
agressor nations and which gives
the President power to enforce it
impartially on warning countries.
Mrs. Richmond then introduced
Mrs. Clara Bryant Heywood of Pas
adena who has just returned to
this country from Europe where she
attended the sessions of the Lon
don Economic conference and the
Institute of International Relations
in Geneva.
Mrs. Haywood began with an ac-
count of the London conference
which. while it did not accomplish
the hopes of its founders, at least
made for a possible agreement of
debts. a possible tariff truce and
which had created the machinery
for another conference.
Enroute to Geneva Mrs. Haywood
visited Germany and she gave a
fascinating account of that country
under Nazi rule, streSsing the fact
that Hitlerism is the result of the
other nations failure to keep their
promises to Germany.
Outlines Program
The six points which all groups
interested in peace are struggling
to attain and which will be con-
sidered at the disarmament confer

LONDON. September 18 (P).-Kurt
Torgler, 14-year-old son of an m
prisoned German Communist leader,
today told an international legal COM
mission of his fathers movements on
the day the German Reichstag Build
ing burned
The unofficial committee resumed its
hearings this morning on the blaze,
for which they seek to fix the blame,
whether on Communists. as German
government leaders charge, or the Nazis
themselves, as was suggested at the
hearing last week.
Young Torgler. handsome, self
possessed boy. said that on February 81
when the Parliament Building partly
burned his father and sister kept an
appointment with a journalist and dis
Cussed election prospects.
In the evening. the boy went on, the
father went out alone. Police came the
next morning for the father and
searched the house for Unreasonable
documents"
According to the son, the father had
slept with comrades, having told the
Youth it was inadvisable to stay at

CHEST TO SURVEY
AGENCIES NEEDS
Tentative Budgets October
First to Indicate Re-
quired Amount.

A subcommittee of the Community
Chest Budget Committee will make a
series of visits this week to all agencies
supported with Community Chest funds
in order to get preliminary idea of
the budget total which will be set for
this years fund campaign.
Tentative budgets from all member
agencies will be submitted October /,
and until that time there will be no
definite information as to the size of
the fund which will be sought. The
best estimate available now is that the
drive will be for not less than the ST.
$50 900 raised last year
In discussing the budget yesterday,
ElWood Street, director of the Com
munity Chest said:
Although the emergency relief divi-
sion of the Board of Public Welfare
has taken over most Of the burden Of
relief, it cannot take it all. There are
still people who are destitute, not be-
cause of unemployment, but because of
sickness. deSertion and other difficult
ties and because of part-time or low
paid income, too small to carry the full
cost of supporting large family. More
than that. there are many families and
individuals not in need of relief, but in
need of service which will keep them
from requiring relief. These families
are not within the scope of the emer-
gency relief division of the Board of
Public Welfare, which is limited to
people in distress because of unemploy-
ment and the emergency. Private agen-
cies must still do the job of relief and
of family service which public funds
cannot do under their legal limitations
We must carry on activities which
were greatly reduced or eliminated last
year: Operation of Summer camps. for
example, for children of destitute FAM
lilies: long postponed repairs to insti-
tutions necessary to prevent serious
property loss; etc.
Work of practically all organizations
is increased by unemployment, as, for
example. hospitals with increased de-
mands for free and part-pay care in
wards and for free care in clinics and
dispensaries.
In spite Of this factor, and because
of many economies and transfer of
most of the relief burden to public
funds, the Community Chest could
have got along with approximately 10
per cent less in 1884 than in 1888 we're
it not for the rising cost of living and
the endeavor of Community Chest Or
ganiZations as far as possible to COM
ply with the N. r. A. code. This means
at least 10 per cent increase in cost
over corresponding services for 1888.
THE Budget Committee has studied
the situation most carefully. These es-
Inmates are based upon last years
budget figures as representing the mini
mum needs of organizations before
further horizontal slashes had to be
made because of the campaign short
age"

POLL Of BUSINESS
TAKEN ON CARRIERS
Nations Leaders Questioned
on Proposals to EquaIize
Competition.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
In an effort to determine the atti-
tude Of the Nations business men to-
ward further equalization of competi-
ton between the Nations three ma jor
carriers, the Chamber of Commerce of
the United States has begun a canvass
of the country's business leaders.
The information will be sought in a
poll, based primarily on the report of
the chamber committee which recently
completed a studN of the problem pre-
Sented by the carriers.
The committee predicated its report
on the statement that t\"unregulated
competition with regulated forms OF
comparable transportation is unfair
contrary to the public interest in the
losses which are caused and inequitable
to shippers whose interest is in depend
able service and conditions"
List of Proposals.
The majority report of the committee
included the following proposals. sub
mitted as questions in the poll:
Water transportation in domestic
commerce-"All common carriers should
be required to obtain certificates OF
public convenience" and should be
subject to regulation as to rates. Those
not common carriers, but accepting
cargoes for hire, should charge the
established common carrier rates Gov
ernment operation of commercial water
transportation should be discontinued.
Highway transportation in interstate
commerce-Motor busses and other
passenger carriers should pay a Spe-
cial user tax in the form of a mileage
tax. graduated according to seating ca
capity."
Would Tax Trucks.
Trucks should pay users tax, "re-
f1ecting fairly the demands each makes
upon the highways" The gasoline tax
should be kept down to a point not en-
coUraging wholesale evasion" State re-
ciprocal agreements for special licenses
on commercial vehicles. Intrastate car
rierS should adhere to rules that are
just. reasonable and non discriminatory
among shippers"
Interstate egulations-"There should
be the same degree of regulation by
Congress of interstate motor carriers
as has been recommended to the States
for intrastate carriers as to permits
to operate, rates. financial responsible
ity and hours of service. The inter
state regulatory authority should act as
an appellate body" Section 500 of the
transportation act Should be construed
as a declaration by Congress Of the
Importance to the public Of the major
forms of transportation, without prefer
ence for rail or water transportation
over highway transportation"
