RELIEF TASK
IN N. c. RISES
This WINTER
Emergency Burden Falls
on Local and Private
Charity Agencies

RALEIGH. Feb. %. (UP)--
Burden of caring for emergency
relief cases in North Carolina by
extreme cold weather has fallen
upon local and private agencies OF
charity, a United Press survey
showed today. .
Reports from various parts OF
the state showed relief burden
had increased from 20 to 90 PEI
cent because of the heavy SHOWS
and sub-zero temperatures.
With federal relief dwlndling,
communities have been forced TO
dig into their pockets to carry the
load of aid for the sick and needy
unable to provide for themselves
Chief burden has been that class
of able bodied persOnS-numoeE
unknown-who are not eligible
for WPA jobs because they wee
not on relief prior TO May l, 1852
and who find themselves relegat-
ed to second consideration when
local relief funds are sufficient
for only theaged, sick, and others
not employable. :,
In Greensboro, the Ministerial
Alliance. estimating that at least
500 families were in the neglect
ed zone" appealed for funds 10
aid them. Charlotte, through the
United Welfare Federation, IS a.
tempting to relieve distress in 800
to 600 similar families, which
have no recognized relief status.
Other communities struggled
with different problems, most OF
them brought on by the cold
weather. Snow and ice frequent
" suspended relief work, throw
ing added burden on local and
county charity groups. Day lab
orers never before on relief rolls
were forced into idlenesS when
storms halted their work, and had
to appeal for emergency aid.
In Raleigh, when relief funds
were exhausted in the midst OF
the most severe cold wave of the
winter, a public subscription IN
the form of a five dollar club was
organized. Voluntary 50 contrib
utions from private citizens were /
turned into a fund to Supplant

cieS,

welfare office. appealed to the .
Red Gross in a relief crisis during
the heavy snow. Red Cross en- !
ergency funds were used for d.
rect relief purposes Local agen-
cies in Durham, their funds near
" exhausted. are faced with
choice of public appeal or aoan-
donement of their work. !
Buncombe county appropriated

itv chest which took over the re- ,
lief burden from federal agencies ,
The Welfare federation in Char.
lottee, with an income increase OF
30 per cent to meet a relief bur
den increase of so per cent, had
to fall back on the city and coun-
ty, both of which make an annual
appropriation for the federation.
In Salisbury, the Works Prog
ress Administration was able to
care for those families eligible for
WPA jobs, but a public appeal to
care by the Associated Charities.
the Salvation Army and the Tray-
elers Aid was necessary to provide
for cold weather relief applicants
Food, clothing and shelter are
not the only demands on relief
AGENCIES. On one cold day in Dur
ham, fifty persons asked for med
ical supplies, and were told by
welfare workers that money was
not available to provide them.

, things as do the farmers themselves.
The average farmer is pretty level

relatively few illusions about the
struggles Of life or the efficacy OF gov
eminent paternalism. He is, in gen.
eral, fairly independent and self
reliant person. He dislikes govern
ment meddling. | was raised on a
farm; know farmers: | know some
thing of their problems and OF their
psychology. AS a consequence, / am
rather strongly convinced that the
AAA could never have lasted with
them, and ! am also rather strongly
persuaded that the farmers in gen.
eral will not support measures in
their behalf which are not economi-
cally sound for the nation as a whole.
A considerable part Of the pro-
gram advanced in behalf of agricul-
ture is not defensible from the point
of view of economics. Briefly, the
Federal government should advise
farmers effectively is to market con-
ditions relating to their crops; II
should advise restrictions at the prop
err time, but it should not attempt to
force them upon farmers; it should
suggest diversification of crops ap-
propriate to each section Of the coun-
try; it should concentrate on simplify
ing marketing procedure and in open
ing up markets; il should urge states
to adjust their negotiable tax bur
dens on farmers. Further than this II
should not 60.
II farmers make wrong decisions
after such help has been extended to
them, it is not the function of the CEN
trail government to reimburse them
for their losses.
When members of this Administra-
ton call upon the farmers to unite
with industrial laborers against other
people in this nation, think such a
suggestion shows an abySmal igno-
rance Of the farmers psychology and
is an insult to the loyalty which farm
erS as class have always shown to-
ward constitutional government in
this country.

WANT LAND0N
IN PRIMARY
ORGANIZED Effort Seen to
Enter Him Against
Borah in Ohio

WASHINGTON, Feb. 25 CUP
Organized Republican efforts to
bring Governor Alf M. Landon OF
Kansas into the Ohio presidential
urinary in opposition to Senator
William E. Borah were suspected
by some political observers last
night in view Of weekend pclltl-
cal developments.
But current also were 1eportS
that only one candidate would
challenge Borah in Ohio anu that
the lone challenger probably
would be Frank Knox of Chicago.
Borah and Knox already have en-"
tered against each other in the il
linois primary.
Chief development pointing TO
Landon was the announcement IN
Columbus, Ohio, that the govern
or was leading in 4 tate-wide
presidential preference poll con-
Quoted by the Republican state
executive committee. Chairman
Ed Schorr made the announce
ment, without details.
Schorr and other Ohio leaders
originally planned a favorite son
or uninstrnucted delegation TO the
Republican national convention.
Borah sought to upset that STRAIT
egy when he entered in Ohio with
momentum believed by his back
ers to be, sufficient to defeat any
favorite son the regular organIza-
ton could put up.
Borah will open his Ohio cam
paign with a speech. at 4ounSs-
town on March 10. Carl G.. Bach
man, chairman of the national
Borah-for- President committee,
said arrangements had been made
for a radio hookup to carry the
senator's speech throughout Ohio
and adjoining states.
Good Ohio news for Landon CO.
incided with New Deal invasion
of Missouri and Kansas where
Postmaster General James A.
Farley launched President Roose-
velt's mid-western re- election
campaign. Farley spoke in Jeffer-
son City, Mo-, and Topeka, Kan.
He arraigned former President
Hoover and the American Liberty
League and by inference chal-
lenged the claims made for Lam
don as balancer of budgets. Far
ley emphasized the Importance of
federal contributions to Kansas
not only for the. cost of relief but
to aid agriculture and business.
He told his mid-western listeners
it would be impossible to take the
government out of business for
some time to come because fed
eral credit still was a factor in
business recovery. ... :
But bright in a weekend of po-
litical fair weather for Landon
were tabulations of a syndicated
poll designed to reflect national
sentiment. Landon led by wide
margin in the test for presiden-
tial preference. Borah was second
and others were practically out of
the running as of the present.
On another front, however,
Borah chances improved consider
ably. Frank E. Gannett, publish
er of the Gannett newspapers, en-
dorsed the senator as the man to
meet President Roosevelt in the
campaign.

Then he would add, with great excite

Planes Aid Fire Prevention.

JUDGING from the number of air.

oficials have come to the conclusion
that 1885 was q relatively favorable
year, insofar as control Of fires Is con.
cerned.
Altogether aircraft new 556 hours In
fire prevention work, carrying 21e,oo0
pounds Of supplies and Transporting
772 men for fire. fighting purposes.
The service believes that, insofar
as actual discovery of fires Is con-
cerned, the fixed lookout tower Is o
better method than airplane patrol,
but after fires are actually under way
the plane has proven invaluable In
the hasty concentration Of fire e-nghters
to combat the flames.
Some experimental work Is under
way to determine Just how feasible 10
would be to attempt to drop water
from planes on small blazes and TO
attempt to bomb small fires with
chemical retardants or with small
bombs which would scatter dirt over
blases tust getting under way. !.
