City Awaits Notices On New Relief Plan
Government Proposes to Shift Burden to Various Com.
 munities-N.E E. Council Outlines Proposed Plan

Boston, Jan. 10.--Immediate ac. ton by community organizations throughout New England for the new federal policy of turning back to the communities the care of un- employable persons is urged by the New England council in letter sent today by John F. Tinsley of Worcester, chairman of the coun- ciPs community development com. mittee to chambers of commerce and similar organizations through out the six New England states.
 Frank J. Green, secretary of the Waterbury Chamber of Commerce, said that he had not received the communication, and in the event that 1t should be sent to him he would turn 1t over to William M. Harris, EZRA and Mutual Aid ad- Tninistrator, for further action.
 Councils Plan
 The council committee urges "that every chamber of commerce set up immediately g. citizens' re- lief committee ocooperate with official and private agencies in studying the entire relief problem as 1t exists locally. We urge that this committee be selected on as broad basis as possible and conn posed of representatives of every important element in the commun- ity.
 "The study of this citizens re- lief committee naturally falls into two parts," the letter continues,
The Waterbury Democrat., 1935-01-10

"hrst, with regard to unemploy. ables, and secondly, to the unem. ployed who, under the new policy, will bee ared for by work relief projects financed by other than 10. cal funds. Tn this connection, the committee should determine what work relief projects could be profit ably carried on in the community that would utilize the services fo the efnployable unemployed.
 Tt is believed that if this sug- gested procedure is accepted ipi- nediately throughout New Eng land, communities will find them selves4n a favorable situation when this change in federal policy takes place. Furthermore, substantial sums of taxpayers money will be saved, and the morale of the un- employed will De maintained at higher levels"
 Advises Research
 The council committee accom- panies its letter with 6 list of sug- gcsted research studies, to be con- ducted in each community. While pointing out that many other prob- lens besides those listed could be studied, the council committee cites the following as cxnmples:
 Studies regarding unemployable persons:
 1. Ascertain the normal welfare load by finding the number and percentage of those receiving relief who should be classed as unemploy- ed, and the number and per- centage who should be chased as unemployable.
 2. Compare the local stan dards of relief with prevailing standards in other communi- ties and with national stan dards established by the fed- erai relief administration.
 8. Compare the local over head cost of administration with that in other commun- ities.
 4. Ascertain if all who are receiving relief are entitled to do so; if not, ascertain what changes should be made in the personnel; or methods of case investigation.
 6. Determine whether or not there is any duplication of effort among existing re- lief agencies.
 6. Examine the local relief administration aD to efficiency of methods and personnel.
 Studies regarding unemployed persons:
 1. Study and evaluate the work relief projects being cra- ried on as c means of return ing to the community some value for relief expenditures.
 2. Determine what work projects can be profitably car- ried on in your community. paid for by other than local funds, that will provide work for your unemployed.

RABBIS URGED TO
GO AGAINST WARS

Chicago, July 1--(UP) The
Central Conference OF American
Rabbis climaxed the annual con-
vention Sunday by calling on $780,
900 members Of the Hebrew Re-
formed Congregations to fight
against wars s''for the sake of con-
science"
The leaders OF Reformed Jewry
departed from the stand on war
maintained by Jews for thousands
of. years and declared uneQuivocal
opposition in the future to all war.
The rabbis advised followers to
refuse to bear arms ''for the sake
Of conscience and in the name OF
God"
Although the historic attitude of
Jewry has been to ditinguish be-
tween righteous and unrighteous'
warfare, the special conference
committee which re-phrased Re-
formed Jewry,s position on war as
serted that present-day interna-
tional complexities make 1t
impossible any longer to fix war
responsibility or adjust 1t.
