In several instances" he said, "in-
stitutions have not only been filled to
capacity but seriously overcrowded.
Conditions which during the past few
years have forced large numbers to
accept the care provided through pub
lie agencies have not appreciably i'm
proved in Washington, and 1t doubt
less must be recognized that even with
the return Of more prosperous times
the burden that has been placed on
public welfare agencies will be but
slowly lifted. The fact that some of
our people have been re-employed in
recent months is Offset by the fact
that others have exhausted their re-
sources, and those who have found
work have not yet been able to build
up reserves which will enable them
to meet the crises that involve un-
usual expenditures"
The invocation was pronounced by
DR.. Frederic w. Perkins, member Of
the Board Of Public Welfare. A pro-
gram of choral numbers was given by

public works and unemployment in
surance will be scrutinized by the
Senate Finance Committee at q pre-
Congress meeting some time between

Chairman Harrison, Democrat, Of

VICTIM IS UNABLE
To NAME ATTACKERS
Sidney Diehm in Court Cannot
Identify Man Who
Shot Him.

An attempt to identify the two
men who shot him in front of the
Annapolis Hotel July 80, failed yes
terday when Sidney Diehm testified at
preliminary hearing in Police Court
he could not identify either "Bennle"
Soloff or Bob" Huff as his assailants.
They were charged with making IAN
assault with a deadly weapon"
In commenting on an objection by
Attorney Charles Ford, who repre-
sented Huff. Judge John P. Mcmahon
said there seems to be disposition
on the part of the complaining witness
to be reticent to testify here"
II am neurotic, your honor and
highly excitable," Diehm said when
Judge Mcmahon said it was odd cir
cumstances a man could be accosted
and shot without being able to re-
member anything about it. He said
he was musician and had been in
Washington about four months. He
testified he had known Soloh slightly
and had seen Huff several times.
Lester w. Payne, who said he was
driving his taxicab and had halted
for a red light at the corner by the
hotel on the night of the shooting,
identified Soloff as the driver of an
automobile which Payne said dashed
out from the alley by the hotel and
ran through a red light just after he
heard shooting.
Judge Mcmahon continued the case
until Friday, when Detective Sergt.
Frank o. Brass, who was testifying
as to his investigation of the case,
said that he had issued subpoenas
for several witnesses, none Of whom
could be located and were not in court.

Reached L asst Summer.

After several days in which both
independent and chain distributors
of gasoline made no changes in their
prices, Washington's gasoline price
war was renewed with the opening
Of business today when retail quota
tions dropped another half cent.
The major companies offered
straight" gasoline for liz cents,
and the independent dealers countered
by dropping to 101a cents.
The new prices today are just a
half cent above the low mark reached
in a similar war last Summer when
hostilities of several weeks ended after
the independents dropped to 10 cents.
The major companies gave no indi-
cation that further reductions are
anticipated, explaining that prices for
them are dictated from New York.
The dealers handling unbranded gas,
however, say they expect the majors
to continue their warfare and that
they are prepared to undersell them
at least cent no matter how low the
price drops.

MORE EDUCATION
FUNDS AVAILABLE
National Survey Discloses Slight
Climb After Depression
Drop.

Education opportunity in the United
States has struck bottom and Is
now on the rebound, according to
results of a survey by the Research
Division of the National Education As
sociation made public here today.
Unless the speed of the upward
movement increases, however, the
Nations schools are not expected to
before 1855.
state school superintendents through
out the Nation estimate that they
will have $1.14 more with which to
pay for the education of each school
child during the year ahead than they
had in 1884.
This estimate is based upon the
assumption that Federal aid to schools
will be at least as generous as last
year, and that the general climb to-
ward prosperity continues.
Despite the usual annual increase
Of 100000 pupils in total enrolment,
average expenditures per child will
increase from $6735 to $68.45. The
schools closed last Spring. according
to best estimates, with 26, 1922 900 pu-
pills. During the current school year,
the 26, 100000 mark is expected to
be reached.
Variations in ability to support
schools in different parts of the coun-
try are wider than ever before, how
ever, due to the drought and the fact
that some sections have Jagged be-
hind in the general economic gains.
The Governments employment pro-
gram helps explain the increase in
the number of teachers, principals and
supervisors in the public schools from
$4,000 in 1933-34, to $4,000 in the
current year.
Further evidence of the general up
swing in education is furnished by
total expenditure figures which in
clude capital outlay for school build
ings and other permanent improve
ments Last year the total was ST.
799. 9.306, 600 and this year is estimated
at s1,894, ,581, 900.

OF Public Welfare of the District of
Columbia, in the auditorium Of the
Department of Commerce.
The weakest part of the national,
State and local programs Of public
relief has been in the administrative
phase, Bane, former commissioner Of
public welfare of Virginia, said.
I'VE must follow in the development
of our administration of public vel
fare and unemployment relief activi-
ties the progress which has been made
in public education and public roads
administration" he said. I'VE are now
in relief administration where we were

ago in public roads administration.
Situation "Most Tragic"
Public welfare no longer can be con-
Sidered as a thing apart from unen-
ployment relief, Bane said. The two
have become inseparable He described
the unemployment situation today as
most tragic" and said that If 1t con-
tinues over a few years more 1t will
serve to destroy the morale Of the
American citizenship"
This country should and undoubt-
edly soon will have to develop very
large scale public works program" to
care for those willing to work who
cannot find places to work in private
business, Bane declared.
Dealing with the various phases of
social insurance, Bane said that some
Of the proposed forms Of social insur-
ance ARE much to be desired"

against very short period Of emer-
gency." 1t cannot, he warned, ever
take care Of any long period of unem-
ployment such as the present. We
must, he said, be cautious how we
fling around that phrase, 'unem-
ployment insurance'-it is not a cure
all"
Old age pensions or assistance, he
characterized as "a very important
part of any system of social security"
He also pointed out the possibility Of
good to be derived from sickness or So
called health insurance" and from
mothers aid insurance.

in operation, however," he said, I'VE

tend with which, in 1880, would have
been thought very, very large pro-
gram"

The magnitude of the relief program
which has been conducted in the Dis
trict of Columbia was outlined by FL

fare, in his annual report, which he
illustrated with many lantern slides
of photographs taken at the various
local relief and welfare institutions
and of brief statistics concerning relief
work.
He described the expenditures which
