MONTGOMERY
BOARD VOTES
RELIEF FUND

ROCKVILLE, Md, March 4.
After turning a deaf ear to pleas
from officials of the Montgomery
County Welfare Board for the
past three weeks for additional
funds to carry on direct relief
work until April /, the board OF
county commissioners by vote
of 3 to 2 last night appropriated
$4,000 to meet immediate rellet
needs through March.
In the absence of Commits
sioner Frank H. Karn, president
of the board, Paul M. Coughlan
took the chair and after reading
q letter from Miss Dorothy "A.
Everson, executive secretary to
the welfare board, in which she
cited the plight of more than
100 unfortunate county families
without sufficient food. clothing,
fuel and shelter, he sided with
Commissioners Robert D. Hagner
and Richard S. Lansdale in Vot-
ing the additional ALLEGATION.
Starvation Feared
Miss Everson declared that
members of these more than 100
families now practically without
assistance are slowly starving,
and the lowest possible estimate
of the board made yesterday
placed the amount of funds re
ouired for March at approx
mately $500. Since only $4,000
in State funds are available they
would require an additional
$2,50O, she said.
Commissioner Charles E. King
opposed further ALLEGATION OF
funds, declaring "in view of the
recent agitation in the county on
this relief question, we cannot
afford to make further appropria-
tions." He referred to the &C
ton taken by the Farmers Con-
vention at Sandy Spring, Md,
last Saturday when they de-
nounced the county relief admin
iStration as "a detriment to the
farmers
Miss Everson further pointed
out that while many on direct
relief are employables, her agency
had been directed by the Works
Progress Administration to cease
certifying any more persons for
work relief as the projects in
operation are overcrowded.
The original estimate for March
was placed by the welfare board
at $7,70O, which amount was re-
duced to $2,499.52, due to lack
Of State funds.
Ban on Cash Sought
The board expects to receive
$500 from the Federal Govern
ment for aid to dependent chill
dren, which together with the
commissioners appropriation of
$4,000, will bring the total to
about $500, or sufficient to
meet the March relief require.
ments, Miss Everson declared.
After voting the additional
money to the welfare board, this
amount to come from the county
relief fund, the board passed a
resolution requesting Mrs. Alice
Merrill, secretary to the county
welfare advisory boad. which ad-
ministers county relief funds, to
discontinue all form of cash re-
lief to the needy.

about his threatening person, it is ap-
parent that he is not the kind of man
who will use them. He would have
been a lot more respected for little
show of violence.
IN THE failure Of Geoffrey, to this
pair of eyes and ears, the play
comes tumbling down.
Elena Miramova never had
chance with the terror she registers
when her predecessor as Geoffrey's
wife begins to open her eyes to his
meanness. She has even less to con-
vince with the same stark emotion
when Geoffrey comes to murder her
because he wanted to save the all
mony of second divorce. Miss Mira
nova obviously did not know that
Geoffrey was too weak to kill. But
the audience knew. So it laughed at
Miss Miramova's beautifully realistic
fears. 1t may not have wanted to
laugh, Dut IL naQ 10 90 SO.
It is the destiny of Miss Starr as
the first Mrs. Carroll to discover
Geoffrey's essential weakness and fol-
low him through life to keep him
from victimizing others as he had
victlmized her. 1t gives her quite a
part and she plays it with so much
conviction that she gives the per-
formance its best moments. In the
final scene. as in the opening one,
she Is superb.
MISS MIRAMOVA. who played the
part for a year in London, it's
recorded, does not have chance with
the role in this country unless last
nights audience is the least typical
thing she encounters here. 1t is not
her fault.
Others in the cast are acceptable in
roles that are incidental to the tri-
angle around which Mrs. Veiller built
her play.
G. E. Calthrop. who designed the
settings of Noel Coward's play cycle,
Tonight at $50" performs similarly
telling service for the current play.
Her Southampton living room is as
neat bit of stage decor as you will
see anywhere.
Of course, there's nothing to prevent
Mr.. Meyer from saying he knew all
the time the play was farce.

way, and it enjoyed a long and hap
py life.
Perhaps the same thing can be done
for THE Two Mrs. CAROLS" which
had its American premiere at the
National Theater last night. 1t Is
farce, even though it was played as
serious melodrama. If it is changed
around very quickly, played for what
1t Is, it might make audiences laugh
themselves to death. Otherwise the
audience is going to laugh the play
to death.
It may be that B. A. Meyer, pro-
ducer of the piece, caught another
note in the mirth of that opening
night crowd, but to this pair of ears
It was acutely menacing most Of the
time.
THE Two Mrs. CAROLS" concerns
the affairs Of philandering husband
who regards murder as cheaper than
divorce. When a thing like that can
turn out to be funny. it is just funny
and it might as we'll be accepted by
all concerned. There is nothing else
to do.

failed her. He is supposed to be a
philanderer with murder hidden in the
bitter-sweetness of his nature. That's
what he is supposed to be, but the
audience simply refuses to believe it.;
not because of Larimore's interpreta-
ton, but because Of the way the part

PROGRAM

The first organization to offer
their cooperation to the Inter-
racial Committee of the Urban
League during the Inter-racial
Week program held in the Twin
Cities during the week of Febru-
airy 9th, was the Sphinx Club of
Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity.
Pledging their cooperation, the
club of University men framed and
sent Mr.. C. W. Washington, Urban
League Secretary, a letter to that
effect.
The result was that Mr.. Wash
ington called upon two of this
group to speak at young peoples
church groups. Mr.. Henry Thomas,
in the graduate school of social
work and a member of Sphinx
spoke before group at Plymouth
Congregational Church in Mime
apolis on the subject: ASPECTS of
Inter-racial Relationships" Fol-
lowing the course of history, Mr..
Thomas pointed out mans contin-
ued desire to attain "life, liberty,
and the pursuit of happiness"
tracing this desire from the time of
the French Revolution through the
colonization of America.
Mr.. William R. Simms, under
graduate student at the University
and president of the Sphinx Club,
spoke before large college group
on Sunday evening, February 9, at
the Robbinsdale Congregational
Church on the subject: "Phyllis
Wheatley An Inter-racial Sue
cess" He used the Settlement
House as a typical example of the
success and good that can result
from the cooperative efforts of the
two groups. Again on Sunday eve
ming, February 16, using the same
subject, Mr.. Simms spoke before
an older group at the Welch Con-
gregational Church in Minneapolis.

Samuel Chambers
Dies

In 1866, when Lincoln freed the
slaves, little Sam Chambers, then
seven years old, had no place to
go. He was born on a South Caro-
lima plantation. When Sherman
made his march to the sea, the Ne
groes throughout the region fiocked
to his army, and little Sam went
with them. He attached himself
to two white men, Scofield and
Dickey, and by making himself
useful, he was allowed to return
home with them.
He was brought up in Zumbrota,
Mimi, where he lived part of the
time with Scofield and part of the
time with Dickey. After he be-
came grown he came to Minneapo-
lis to live. For 80 years he was
elevator starter in the Lumber Ex-
change building.
Friday, February IA, Samuel
Chambers died, at the age of IS,
leaving his widow, Aurelia, and
two sons, Sam, Jr., and Wallace
Chambers. Neal Funeral Home
had charge of arrangements.
