PENSION FAMILIES
IN D. c. CROWDED
Welfare Board Figures
Show go Per Cent Affected
With A.78 Average.

Families on mothers pensions here
are overcrowded beyond the average
for the country at large, according to
Miss Hazel I. Spicer, statistician OF
the public assistance division OF the
Board of Public Welfare.
Sixty per cent of the families aided
in the District are thus affected. The
average size of the family receiving
mothers pensions and family aid
here is 4.78, but when roomers are
considered the average is 5.32.
The monthly rental averages $25.81,
taking in the larger houses where
roomers lived. For the 5.32 persons
per family, this figure is almost $40
below the standard set up for the
District, but still higher than the
average for SO cities covered In the
report.
The average weekly income Of the
235 affected families in the District
was $2073, about three-quarters Of
whom depended wholly on the pen
sion allowance.
Ninety-four of the families are
white and 141 colored.
The statement from Miss Spicer
also said that approximately 60 per
cent of the families have inadequate
bathing facilities or none whatever;
so per cent have no central heating
system, and 35 per cent must use
wood, coal or Oil for cooking The
congestion per family in general, she
said, is worse than with the average
family on public relief.

D. c. Police to Bring
Men Accused by
Bell Girl Here

Two men were being held today
by New York police in connection
with the alleged murder attempt
against Margaret Louise Bell, 81.
year-old vice ring accomplice, here
Saturday night.
The men are Joseph Silver, for
whose arrest a warrant was issued
yesterday, and Leo Marmone, for
whose arrest police say a warrant
will be issued today. Washington
police plan to leave Washington
today for New York to bring the
two men back to the National Capt.
tai. 1t is understood the men will
waive extradition. .
Deny knowledge
Local police have been told that
the New York authorities have
talked to the men and both deny
any connection with the Bell case
here. Silver, they say, declares he
spent the weekend in New York
with friends while Marmone
claims to have been in Boston over
the weekend.
Meanwhile, police have talked
to a New York physician, who,
they say, has confirmed Miss
Bells story that she called him
Saturday in an effort to locate a
girl friend in the metropolis. She
has contended that it was through
that telephone call that hench-
men of Charles Lucky" Luciano,
now serving a prison sentence for
vice racket activities, located her
in Washington and attempted to
murder her because she had
double-crossed Luciano and his
followers.
Although police are skeptical of
the Bell girls story as to the at
tempted murder, 16 hours of con.
tinuous grilling which ended at
6 a. m. today failed to "break"
her,
Between information received
from Florida to the effect that
the Bell girl has perpetrated
several hoaxes in that State and
the traps into which they said
she fell during the quiZzing last
night, police are inclined to doubt
her weird story that a henchman
