Commissioners.
LARGE SUM NEEDED
FOR RELIEF WORK

In spite of the rather large sum re-
/ ceived from the Reconstruction FL
nance corporation by Lincoln county
tor the relief of restitution. neverthe-
less there has been an unprecedented
demand on the county poor fund dur
ing the past year. Anyone who has had
anything to do with the administration
of relief work will easily realize the
reasons for the constant calls for re-
lief. Until recent weeks, there had been
an almost total lack of labor through
out the county. Many families had
managed to get along by living up
their savings These savings gradually
became exhausted with the result that
constantly increasing numbers were
thrown on relief organizations for aid
Naturally great amount Of this re-
LET tell on the county and had to be
taken care of through its poor fund.
This unusual drain on the county
poor fund rapidly depleted it and in
December 1t became necessary to
authorize the issuing of $4,000 of
poor fund warrants. Not |
long ago the county commissioners
saw that even more money would be
required to get through the fiscal year
which ends on June 30 Consequently
hey authorized the issuing of an adj I
ditional $4,000 in emergency poor fund /
warrants.

VIRGINIA URGED
To AID PUPILS

The State of Virginia must as
sumo more of the burden Of cost
of educating children in the pub
lie schools and relieve the indi-
vidual counties, DR.. w. j. Cooper,
former United States Education
Commissioner, told 800 citizens
yesterday at a mass meeting in
the Westinghouse High School,
Ballston, Va.
DR.. Cooper, a former superin-
tendent of education in California
and now connected with the
George Washington University,
said the State was only bearing
Is per cent Of the cost and that
legislation should be enacted so
that it could bear a greater por-
ton.
Fletcher Kemp, superintendent
of the county schools, declared
the citizens must support the
schools more in order to avoid
serious financial condition which
may force closing Of the schools
four months prior to the regular
time. He said:
with the cuts our finances
have received it will be impOs-
Sible to go On much longer un-
less some means Of relief is
found"

ELECTION
Montgomery Faces New Fight
To Rotate Office Between
Two Sections

Residents of Montgomery county
are awaiting with interest the
election of officers at the Mont
gomery County Civic Federation's
meeting tonight to see if the
widely rumored fight on Robert E.
Bondy, Of Edgemoor. for the presi-
dency will materialize.
Bondy'S name was presented by
the special nominating committee,
Of which he himself was a men,
Der, and many members Of the
federation believe that the fight
from the floor will be made along
these lines.
Less cautious observers, how
ever, regard the opposition as an
other attempt on the part Of GER
tain factions to force some agree
ment as to the rotation of the
presidency between the eastern
and western districts of the
county.
Once before the annual election
Of officers was the occasion for
such a fight, and, oddly enough,
Bondy was the center of the dis
pute then.
Five years ago, as now, his
name was presented by the nomi-
mating committee for the presi-
dency and he was opposed ON the
ground that the eastern sector, Of
which Silver Spring and Takoma
Park are the principle centers,
should have the presidency mas
much as the then incumbent
executive hailed from the western
district.
DR.. L. M. Christie, of Woodside,
was elected but declined to serve,
and Stephen James, Of Linden,
was chosen as the compromise
candidate
Many federation members be-
lieve that the rumored fight now
will be on just such an issue in
that Frederick P. Lee, present
executive officer, is a western dis
trict man. Lee has served for the
past two years.

RETURN Of PAY
To OLD LEVEL
SEEN REMOTE
increases in Expenses Put
+ On Clerks Shoulders Not
: Yet Too High, Is View
BY DUNCAN FORSYTH

Cost Of living studies by the
Bureau Of Labor Statistics and
the Bureau of Home Economics,
undertaken to determine whether
Federal salaries can be restored
wholly or in part during the next
fiscal period, are nearly COM
pleted, it was learned today, and
the results will be communicated
to the President and other Fed
eral executives in about two
weeks.
It is generally assumed that
the inquiry will show consider
able advances in living costs,
though perhaps not enough to
Justify in themselves full restora-
ton Of the is per cent pay cut.
Many members of Congress, how
ever, have indicated that they
expect rising Government rev.
enues to be taken strongly into
account.
Increase Gains Support
Undoubtedly there is strong
sentiment in many quarters for
putting Federal pay back to its
basic scale. President Roosevelt
indicated several weeks ago to
William Green, president of the
American Federation of Labor,
that action toward that end would
be taken, and the poll recently
conducted by the American Fede-
ration Of Government Employees
has shown overwhelming senti-
ment for restoration among those
members of Congress who have
made their views known.
Details of the progress Of the
cost of living inquiry have been
kept secret thus far. The National
Federation of Federal Employees,
however, has pointed out in con-
nection with the inquiry that fixed
charges, such as rent and interest,
bulk large in the budget Of Fed
eral employees and have changed
little, if any, in recent years.
Workers Interviewed
Two missionaries have been
sent to Federal employees here by
the investigators, the first to a
list of $1,000 and the second to a
smaller group. There have been
also personal interviews with GER
tain married workers in the Gov
eminent service and with certain
single employees, the groups being
taken separately.

HUNTERS RUSH
FOR LICENSES

Prince Georges county hunters
today began cleaning their guns
for the legalizing Wednesday of
their most interesting sport
hunting wild turkeys and quail.
A 45-day season will open then
for other birds as well, but tur-
keys, with a bag limit Of one a
day, are to be the most important
fowl hunted, with duck and quail
secondary. In preparation, 40
hunters besieged the clerks office
in the Upper Marlboro circuit
court in less than an hour Satur-
day afternoon and paid for
licenses.
The season opens Wednesday
also for rabbits, ruffed grouse,
woodcock, English Ringneck
Monaghan or Melanistic Mutant,
and pheasant.

WOMEN SEEK
0 MAHONEY'S
POSTAL JOB
See Chance for Farley to Make
Good on Advocacy of
Feminine Officials

Democratic women today are
tapping the sources of all the
streams leading to the big mogulS
of patronage in an effort to gain
recognition.
Many of the women, including
Miss Mary W. Dewson, director Of
the woman'S division of the Demo-
cratic national committee, were
directing attention to the fact
that there is a great paucity Of
jobs remaining to be distributed
to men and women alike.
With this in mind, the women
are seeking to snatch some of the
few positions that are still avail
able.
It was learned on reliable au-
thority that some of the more
influential women Of the party are
delicately approaching the powers
that-be in connection with the va
cancy created by the appointment
of Joseph C. O'Mahoney, First
Assistant Postmaster General, to
the United States Senate from
Wyoming.
Although it is said that some.
one in the Postoffice Department
will be elevated to the position
of right-hand man to Postmaster
General James A. Farley, the
women are working to place a
woman in the department.
It was pointed out today by
one very important woman Dem
ocrat that big Jim" Farley, who
has been consistently advocating
that more and more women be
placed in the Government SER
vice, is here given the opportu'
nifty to place somebody in his own
department. No woman thus far
has been appointed to an execu'
tive position in the postal de-
partment.
To qualify for the post, 1t is
pointed out, the woman should
be one with legal training
(O,Mahoney is an attorney, and
should be one well acquainted
with Democratic women through
out the country.

SCHEME TO PURIFY
STREAMS OUTLINED
Senator Would Use Public
Works Money to End
River Pollution.

ourification Of streams, aS an i'm
portant national public works project,
vas proposed yesterday to President
Roosevelt Secretary Ickes, public works
administrator the Public Health SerF-
ice and War Department eng .neers by
Senator Lonergan. Democrat, OF Con-
necticut He asked that a plan for
publication of the water in streams
throughout the Nation be developed
and a fund for carrying it out be set
aside out of the public works appro-
priation.
The Connecticut Senator said his
interest in the national stream purin :
cation arose from his knowledge Of
conditions along the Connecticut River.
At one time he served on committee
to encourage an agreement with ad-
Joining, States to eliminate pollution,
which endangered public health ana
destroyed vast numbers OF game flsh.
This committee sald senator
Lonergan, soon learned OF the many
difficulties and limitations in S,ly purl--
fication program OF a purely local
character. 1 believe the broad emer-
gency authorities of the public works
act relieve all doubt regarding Federal
power over stream purlfication. l IN
tend to utilize the present unusual
opportunities to urge elimination C1
dangerous stream pollution not only
along the Connecticut River and other
streams in my own State, but also by
encouraging a national movement pro-
viding for Federal enforcement ana
financial aid for State enforcement.
The Connecticut Senator called at
tention to that section of the national
industrial recovery act directing the
Public Works Administration, under au-
thority of the President, TO prepare a
comprehensive program Of public works
which shall include, among other things,
conservation and development OF nat
ural resources. including control. utll-
ization and publication of waters" He
said that immediate steps should be
taken to utilize these vast and extensive
emergency powers to conduct national
publication program, with the AID OF
the States.
Until the passage of the national re-
covery act" continued Senator LOner-
gan, various advisory legal opinions
were submitted to the Public Health
Service regarding the extent OF Federal
powers to control stream pollution.
Grave doubt has always existed con-
cerning the authority to regulate
streams flowing entirely within one
State. As a result. the States have been
left almost entirely free to regulate, and
their progress has been comparatively
slow until recent compacts were formed
by States along the Ohio River, the
Mississippi and in other localities. A
tri-State agreement between New York,
Connecticut and New Jersey has re-
Gently been attempted to control coastal
waters in the Greater New York area.
These steps have been more effective
than the work of individual States, but
the problem is still too vast for much
progress even under such combined
powers"
Senator Lone1gan said there were no
Federal laws dealing directly with this
subject until the passage Of the recov-
cry act.
