 Washington, Aug 1-(UP)-The first recipients of new deal millions put their money into good causes, they reported to-day to the United Press.
 One saved his home, another banked it against rainy day, q third paid old bills and a fourth used" it enthusiastically. The first REC loan backfired.
 Mrs Jesse Burrier and her ma chinist husband of Baltimore, were the first recipients of Home Own- erns Loan corporation check. They used the money, $500, to pay Wa ter and ground rent on their Elm street home. Mrs Burrier said that the HOLC might be just another set of governmental initials to many people, but that it has meant the difference between despair and happiness to her family.
 Tt has been a wonderful thing for us," she continued. MT Bur- rier is employed now, but for Is months he was out of work and before that time had been em- ployed on part-time shift. It looked as though our home would go, for the mortgage, taxes, water and ground rent were too much for us. Now that we are relieved of these burdens and MT Burrier is back at work, we feel that the crisis has passed, that we can re- pay our debt to the government in $10 monthly payments, and work our way back to security"
 Paul Foreman of Rails, Mo, first farmer to receive a.check from the agricultural adjustment adminis- tration as his share of the wheat processing taxes, said he had put the money in the bank. T can get along without it," he added, yet there are many ways I can use 1t to improve the farm and 1 may use the money for that a little later, especially if this drought continues to destroy all my crops" Foreman lives on 315-acre farm which has remained in his family since the original grant in 1918. His condition is not far different from that of Harry Towne of Prairie City, Iowa, who obtained the first corn-hog check.
 Towne had been a republican all his life. When the pale green check fiuttered out of the envelope from Washington, he announced that he had become a democrat. He used the money to pay old bills and buy new machinery. Some of it he spent to defray the expenses of his wife's first child birth but the baby was still-born.
 William E. Morris of Corpus Christi, Texas. received $517 about a year ago as the HAAS first cot ton payment. He used the money and he's still enthusiastic about the plan. 'The drought and storm damage emphasizes the great ben eft of government rental and ad-

ANGEL OF GRAND
 STREET" IS DEAD
Rose Gruening Died at One of Summer Camps She
 Had Founded

New York, Aug. 1-CUP)-Miss Rose Gruening, whose settlement house work won her the name Angel of Grand street died yes- terday at the summer camp for children which she founded 27 years ago. She had suffered from a prolonged illness. Miss Gruening was the guardian mother of thou sands of children on the lower East Side. She founded the Grand street settlement with her own money in 1916 and operated it without compensation. Her assist ance also extended to youths and young women, many of whom she financed through college.
 A graduate of Vassar college, she devoted her life to social service. Camp Moodna. operated in connec- tion with her New York work, was located at Mountainville, N. Y. Its first cottages were horse drawn street cars which the city railway abandoned when lines were cleo trified. Her first work was with the old Madison House, under Dr Henry MoskowitZ, whose wife later was adviser to former Governor Alfred l.. Smith.
 The settlement house, upon which Miss Gruening had spent nearly all of her personal fortune. cares for more than 1000 children and 200 mothers each week. The camp furnishes vacations for 600 children.
 Among survivors are a brother Dr Ernest H. Gruening, former ed- itor of the New York Evening Post.

 bowling surfaces was begun Mon- day under the direction of park department officials, with the first alleys being removed going to the community house at the Sylvan avenue park.
 The Wooster alleys have played
 prominent part in the life of Wa terbury since the first year of the present century. They were first
 owned by Eli Pakulsli. now of
 Hartford, and Bob Stone of this city. Pakulski sold out his share
 of the enterprise to Stone in 1913.
 From that year till two years ago,
 Mir Stone owned and managed the
 alleys himself. Two years ago he
 leased out the alleys on both floors
 to Sam Sena, who managed them from that time until last week. Some of the finest bowling
 matches in New England athletic
 history were rolled at the Wooster
 alleys. The alleys were invariably represented by a strong team in state and New England competi- ton. Waterbury, known as the bowling center of New England, delt justiflable pride in the Wooster and Waterburians will mourn the passing of the memory

Stockyards Strikers Will Try to Bring Out the
 Other Workers

Chicago, Aug. 1-UP)-Exten- sion of a stockyards strike to the ring of gaint packing houses en- circling the yards was threatened today by union leaders.
 While federal mediators awaited Gen. Hugh Johnson, hoping he would try his powerful hand at settlement of walkout of 800 stock handlers which has halted activity of the worlds largest live stock market, 400 meat cutters walked out last night.
 William Collins, international or ganizer for the union. said that more of the 5000 union cutters and butchers in the packing house district would strike today.
 All but three or four of the largest plants would be closed by such a walkout. Even they, be- cause of the difficulty of obtaining animals, might close.
 The handlers walked out a week ago, leaving S0,000 head of stock without food or water on one of the hottest days of the summer.

The fire was of small conse- quence and caused minor damage.

 He had lived at the house for a little more than two years and seldom had visitors. He was un- married.

 Traders were impressed with the United States Steel Corpora tion's second half showing of $1.4S earned per preferred share. The situation at the present time, how ever, is different from that pre- vailing when that profit was made since the steel industry is operat- ing at 26 per cent of capacity and backlogs of the leading companies are down sharply with consumer demand drying up in many lines.
 Some traders expressed the be- lief the German political situation would be further disturbed by the apparently approaching death of the president, factor that might set off further selling in the stock market.
