ALLEN OPPOSES
OPEN BARS

Commissioner George E. Allen
today stated his opposition to
the return of the "open bar" in
Washington as provided in a bill
introduced in the House by Rep
resentative Everett Dirksen (R.)
of Illinois.
The District head stated that
such a move would be a step
toward the saloon conditions of
the pre-prohibition era. He said:
"Sawdust on the floor and
other features Of saloons would
soon follow the open bars"
Commissioner Allen said the
present so-called hidden bar is
in conformity with the Demo-
cratic platform of repeal without
saloon evils.

LEGISLATION
Social Conference Here Told
Many Needy Barred by Resi-
denCe Requirements

Inclusion of transients in the
provisions of the Presidents Secu-
rity legislation was urged today
by DR.. Ellen C. Potter, New Jer.
Sey director of medicine of the
Department of Institutions and
Agencies, at the second session
of the conference of the Amer
lean Association of Social Work.
ers, at the Hotel Mayflower.
Speaking before more than 300
delegates representing the leading
thought in social work through.
out the country, DR.. Potter point
ed out that the social security
legislation requires legal resi-
dence before Federal aid can be
granted.
Evaded by States
Th1S provision, she declared, eX,
cludes substantial group of per-
sons. who are now being cared for
by the transient division of the
Federal Emergency Relief Admin
iStration. DR.. Potter continued:
"The serious problem of non
residents has never been met by
the States. Pending adjustment
of the local laws of settlement,
there seems no alternative but
to expect Federal provision for
them.
"The various provisions for
security against unemployment,
old age, illness and dependency,
to which the social security bill
is directed, do not apply to
groups without legal residence
in the States in which they hap
pen to be located.
FEDERAL CONTROL
Special provision should be
made for these people, either
on terms of special grants to
the States for their care or
directly under Federal control.
The gains of the present Fed
eral program for transientS
should not be lost in the at
tempt to define permanent pro-
visions for groups coming un-
der the several titles of the
social security bill"
The discussion today also con-
cerned revision of the poor laws,
development of State depart
ments of welfare and Federal,
State and local cooperation in
welfare work. Miss Edith Abbott,
of the University of Chicago,
presided.

CAPITAL CHURCH
WINS DELAY Of
FORECLOSURE
$4,000 Raised As Campaign
Is Pushed to Avert Loss
of New Building

Although members of the West
ern Presbyterian Church, at 1906
H st. N. w., will attend services
tomorrow secure in the knowledge
that the overhanging mortgages
will not be Immediately foreclosed,
larger gifts are necessary to save
it, members of the finance COM
mittee said today.
With two mortgages totalling
$4,000 pressing for retirement,
the Rev. DR.. j. Harvey Dunham
and church committees engaged
in the drive for funds say it will
be necessary without delay to
raise at least $4,000 to prevent
foreclosure. This is the amount
of the second mortgage.
Since the drive for funds started,
between $4,000 and $4,000 has
been raised.
1t was said today that 5000 is
the largest single contribution re-
ceived thus far. The contributions
already received were described to-
day as very, very gratifying, but
not large enough"
It is hoped to increase the
mortgage fund by a series of
church entertainments, the first
of which was held last night, at
tracing several hundred persons.
Vaudeville and radio programs
are being arranged for successive
weeks.
Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt has
taken an active interest in the
affairs of the church, which is
only few blocks from the White
House.
Partly through her intervention
the foreclosure sale originally
scheduled for February IA has
been postponed.
