Allen Solves Problem
of Funds; Will Ask
Deficiency Fund

Ten thousand District relief
clients received an unexpected
Christmas gift today in the form
of an announcement that relief
payments, cut this month, will be
restored January to their former
levels.
Announcing that the IS per
cent reduction will be restored.
Commissioner George E. Allen,
District relief administrator, de-
clared he would seek a deficiency
fund of not less than $500 900 to
carry the local relief program
through the seven months of the
current fiscal year to June 80,
1896.
Commissioner Allen said he
would be unable to restore the
IS per cent cut to the pay roll
and staff of the relief organiza.
ton.
5000 to Get Jobs
He plans to expedite the trans
fer of 5000 Of the 10000 cases on
relief rolls to recently authorized
WPA projects before the month is
over, as one of the chief means of
restoring the cuts. Transfer OF
these persons, coupled with the
money saved through the payroll
slash, will give him sufficient
funds to larry the remaining 1000
relief clients on budgets Of $50
through the month of January.
the same basis on which they
were carried before the cut was
ordered.
Pledged support by IS represen-
tatives of church, welfare, social
and civic organizations at a meet
ing yesterday, Commissioner Allen
said he will go either to President
Roosevelt, FERA Administrator
Harry Hopkins or to Congress
seeking the deficiency fund Of "at
least 100000" for the rest Of the
fiscal year.
Relief Job to Last Long
Convinced that a two-million-
dollar appropriation will not be
adequate for the District in the
next fiscal year, Commissioner
Allen said he will seek not less
than $3,200,000 for the Capital in
the next appropriation bill.

mendous relief load for some four
or five years to come" Commis-
sioner Allen said.
Following the meeting with or
ganiaztion representatives yester-
day, Commissioner Allen an
nounced he will retreat from his
position against appropriating
more than $166, 666 a month of the
remaining District relief fund to
avert further slashes in relief pay
mentS.
$4,000 for January
Commissioner Allen was urged
to dip deeper into the relief fund
this month and restore the Is per
cent cut in both relief payments
and payroll, but he declined to
do this.
Through the transfer Of the
5000 to WPA rolls. and with the
2E per cent slash salvaged from
the payroll, Commissioner Allen
estimated that he will have fund
of $4,000 for January, sufficient
to restore the relief payment

GOOD FELLOWS
CALLED BY
NEEDY
Frantic Appeals Pour
in for Assistance
at Christmas
By THE GOOD FELLOW EDITOR

Come to the rescue, Good Eel
lows, and take part in the real
spirit Of Christmas giving. Help
to make some unfortunate family
happy on that holiday that would
otherwise be neglected.
You are needed this year more
than ever as is shown by the many,
many pathetic letters that are
being written to the Washington
Times Good Fellow editor by fran
tic and broken-hearted parents
and sad but anxious little boys
and girls who realize that Christ
man will be a dull day indeed,
just because they are poor
children and their mother and
daddy cannot pay Santa Claus to
come"
Except for what help Good Eel
lows will give, many little children
will wake UP on Christmas morn
ing-and find themselves still in
the midst of poverty and despair:
Christmas just like any ordinary
day! And they will not quite
understand why they haven't toys,
new clothes, goodies, and a nice
Christmas dinner like others. Per
hapS their povery-stricken parents
will not even be able to rig up a
simple Christmas tree, because
Christmas trees cost money, too,
and every penny must go toward
the most meager of living neces-
sites.
Appeal From Mothers
We pick up a few letters at
random and find that one mother
says: "1've never had to appeal
to you for aid before. Somehow
we always managed to play Santa
Claus to the children, but this
year when I look ahead to Christ
mas with no money. my heart
just aches and I just have a fran
tic feeling, for I realize that I'm.
less some one comes to our aid,
my five children will face a cheer.
less Christmas.
I'VE have four boys and one
baby girl. The oldest boy will be
7 years old Christmas Eve. The
other boys are aged 3, 4 and S,
and the girl is IS months. My
husband gets $45 month salary
with the WPA and it is barely
enough to meet living expenses.
To make things even worse. we
are expecting another little one
next month.
II had to pocket my pride to
write this letter, but if. by so
doing, can bring my children a
little joy, then it's we'll worth it.
They are all so young and JOY
fully expectant to have their
faith in Santa Claus shattered"
There is not thing we can add
to this plea. The letter speaks
for itself.
A 63-year-old widow writes:
will someone be so kind as to
see that I have some food and a
few clothes for Christmas.
Letter From Widow
Another widow, unemployed
and in bad health, writes asking
someone to play Santa Claus to
her ten-year-old daughter. Her
letter reads in part: II am not
asking for myself, but it makes
my heart bleed to see my little
girl without anything at all.
Most anything would please her"
If you want to be a Good Eel
low, The Washington Times will
give the names of as many per
sons or families, adults, or chill
dren as you wish. Notify the Good
Fellow Editor as early as possible,
either by mail, by telephone, or
by calling at The washington
Times Building, between 10 a. m.
and p. m.
