Waiting for City Aid,
Aged Jobless Worker
Drops Dead of Hunger

Jack Silver, a 65-year- old unem-
ployed worker, dropped dead from
hunger late Tuesday night at Grand
and Essex streets.
Ten days ago Silver applied to
the Unemployment Council to help
him get relief. His case was taken
up Immediately. AS a single worker,
under the new LaGuardia policy,
he was referred to the single mems
division at SO Leonard Ave, where
all cases of unattached persons are
handled.
Almost endless red tape and de-
lay resulted. Finally, two days ago,
an investigator visited him and
promised that relief would be given.
Death did not wait for the city's
belated action.

BY APPARENT QUOTA CUT
American Merchants in Paris
Seriously Disturbed by New

BY the Associa ted Press.
PARIS, January 2.-American busi-
ness interests were seriously disturbed
yesterday by an apparent cut of rs
per cent in the quotas of hundreds Of
articles placed on the quota system
since January l, 1884.
These articles. which include auto
mobiles, machinery, aluminium and
lead products and agricultural equip
ment. were given the same quotas for
the first three months as during 1884,
but the Journal Officiel states these
can be increased by only 200 per cent
for the rest of the year.
During 1894 this increase was set at
800 per cent. In general the quotas
established previous to those of a year
ago yesterday remain the same. with
some increases for countries which
have made trade agreements with
France The American interests plan
to ask the French government today
for further explanation of the ap-
parent cut in quotas.

HIPASS CAMP DESERVING

Hipass Health camp, conducted in the
mountains during the summer by the
American Legion, for undernourished
children of the valley, is one of the most
outstanding and deserving charitable un-
dertakings in this community.
Its success in the several years it has
been in operation is attested by citizens
in all parts of the valley, who have visit
ed it and have seen at first hand the
benefits it offers to children who other
wise would be robbed of their energy
and stamina during the hot summer
months.
Funds for carrying on the work are de-
rived from voluntary contributions in the
main, other organizations in the valley
donating TO the cause.
Tomorrow night the Legion is sponsor
ing dance to be given here to augment
the funds. and the organization is hop
ing for large audience. The motive
for the dance is a laudable one and mer-
its the support of the people of all valley
communities. Nobody will dispute the
fact that every kid deserves a break"
and one means of assuring it to some of
them is by aiding in the fine work of Hi
pass camp.

UNCLE wIGGMY's TOOL BOX

which Santa Claus left under the

tool box. In the box was a ham,

THAT rough sandpaper is for

NO NEED FOR ALARM

District officials, in issuing statement
yesterday urging conservatism in the use
OF water, did not, we feel certain, wish
to cause any alarm to valley residents.
Boulder dam is storing UP water as it
is intended to do, but the district state
nlent points out that the river flow above
the dam is much below normal. tits a
continuation of the conditions that
caused the drought last summer.
We are not likely to have repetition of
that condition. The district statement
does not even hint that it is expected. 1t
merely states that due principally to the
length of time required for water releas
ed from the dam to reach the valley,
the cooperation of all is necessary in or
der to avoid waste. There is a certain
amount of waste on the journey between
the dam and the valley. That is consid-
cred something which cannot be avoid
ed.
By ordering water when needed, suf
ficiently far in advance to enable the dis
trict to order in turn at the dam, all
water users will have their needs cared
for as usual.
Until Boulder dam reservoir is filled
to capacity there is the possibility that
q crisis could arise, though the POSSIBLE
ity grows less each day.
The districts statement merely means
Don't be wasteful and help US not to
be by ordering your water needs as far
in advance as possible"

A CONGRESSMAN SPEAKS

Good old John Stevens McGroarty.
HIS friends played him a mean trick
last fall when they elected him to con-
gress from the eleventh California dis
trict. OF course they thought they were
helping him and even John himself
thought he wanted to go to congress-
Being a poet, and good one, John is not
supposed 10 know too much about mater
ial things Though he does) and his
friends should have been stronger in de-
flying his political wishes.
Now, less than two months after he
took office, John comes out with a state
ment that he doesn't want to go back for
a second term. The contention" in con-
gress and the inability of congressman
TO satisfy constituents" are Johns rea-
sons for his decision not to seek office
again. He invited one of his constitu-
ents to take two running jumps and go
to hell" The constituent had complain
ed because John had been in congress
two months and had not succeeded in
having the Sierra Madre mountains
(John's own mountains) reforested.
California's beloved poet laureate isn't
q gutter. 1t happens that he has ideals,
as poet should have, and ideals have no
place in congress. That is strictly a place
swapping in dark alleys and all the un-
desirable tricks of politics as the game is
played in this country. Idealism is as
out Of place there as fur coat would be
in a nudist colony.
John isn't alone in his disgust. Other
congressman have deplored the fate
which makes them nothing more than
glorified office boys. They have little or
no opportunity to have any real say on
the floor of the house. Bills are fixed up
in committees and rushed through on
the floor with most Of the members not
knowing or caring whether they vote yes
or no or vote at all. The opportunity
for intelligent study and discussion of
legislation is limited except on major
legislation and even that is handled by
the whips and floor leaders in great
measure, with the rank and file falling
into line like sheep.
John will hardly lose any prestige by
his remark to his constituent 1t is what
all of us have many times wanted to tell
those pests who demand and expect the
impossible. The poet happens to have a
little more backbone than the rest of u.s.
