This family consists Of father.
mother and five children ranging in
ages from years to months.
The father is earning SLIPS a week
on Works Progress Administration
project. This amount Is inadequate
to care for the immediate needs Of the

amount of SIS week. Since that time,
the family has not had food enough
to last from one pay day to the next.
The family lives on the second floor
of dilapidated building which has
been made into four apartments. The
rooms are small and dark, with very
little sunlight or fresh air. The bath
is used jointly by all the families in
the building. There is no gas or cleo
tricity. All five children sleep in one
small room and during the Winter all
were in one bed.
The family owes large grocery bill
and can get no more credit. Two
children of school age are unable to at
tend school because of inadequate
clothing The truant officer has made
an effort to obtain necessary clothing
and the teacher tried to get shoes.
All the children have colds and need
medical care. They do not have car
fare to go to clinic. The mother has
a badly infected foot, but could not go
to clinic for treatment for the same

What Are They
Doing Without
Relief?
Case Histories of Families
Dropped From the Rolls
Presented by Star.

Following decision Of Congress to
appropriate only $3.50, 900 in place
of the $608, 900 for which the Com
missioners had asked, the District
relief autorities announced that
all "employable" persons would be
dropped from the local relief rolls
April /. This was done.
Since then there has been no
great pubic outcry for further re-
lief. There have been no riots, no
disorder, no mass demonstrations.
Evictions have been few.
Was the relief demand over
stated by the relief authorities?
Is the public being lulled into a
false sense Of security that all is
we'll?
Some 400 families have been
dropped from the local relief rolls.
A few have been given w. P. A.
employment. What are the others
doing? What are their circum-
stances? How will they get along?
At the request of the American
Association of Social Workers, the
Public Assistance Division of the
Board of Public Welfare and the
Family Service Association,
Community Chest agency, have
followed up" 40 cases of persons
dropped from the relief rolls.
The names of these cases have
not been available to The Star,
nor has The Star made its own in
vestigation of the facts. At the
request Of the agencies The Star
will present daily some of the typi-
cal cases as reported by the case
workers.

Mrs. A was deserted by her husband

obtained work in a laundry. She was
able to care for herself and her two

she was run down by an automobile,
as result of which she lost her left
leg at the knee. She was awarded a
judgment of s2,500 against the driver
of the car. but has been unable to COL
lect any damages.
After months in the hospital she
found that she could not return to
her former employment. After ex-
hausting her savings, she applied to
the Public Assistance Division for
aid and was carried on relief for nearly
two years as an unemployable. At her
own request she was transferred to

PRESIDENT VETOES|
.DANENHOWER BILL.
$34,260 Damages Due to
Depreciation of Estate
Denied ExeCutrix.

President Roosevelt today vetoed a
bill directing the Secretary Of the
Treasury to pay Sallie M. Danenhower,
executrix of the estate of William w.
Danenhower, $34,260 for damages
caused by the depreciation in value of
the Danenhower property, due to
changes in the grades Of streets and
the relocation of tracks of the Balti-
more & Potomac Railroad in connec-
ton with the construction of the Union
Station in this city.
The bill directing the Secretary of
the Treasury, was entitled IAN act to
carry into effect finding of the Court
Of Claims in the case of William W.
Danenhower.
The Danenhower property is located
In the square down by First, Second
and H streets and the canal in south
east Washington.
In brief message to the Senate,
Mr.. Roosevelt explained his reasons for
not approving this bill by saying:
The act of February IL, 1901, and
tne amending acts of February 8,
1903, and June 29, 1906, authorizing
claims for damages by property own
ers on account of losses incident to the
construction of the Union Station pro-
vide that the funds to pay such dam
ages shall be derived so per cent from
revenues of the District of Columbia
and so per cent from the general
funds Of the Treasury.
THE bill S-925 provides that the
full amount in settlement of the
claim involved therein shall be paid
out of any money in the Treasury not
otherwise appropriated Since this
provision is not in accord with the
express policy of the compensatory
legislation, feel compelled to with
hold my approval of this bill.'

TRADE UNIT DEN|ES|
It HIRED RICHARDS.
BIanton's Charge Termed
Erroneous in Statement
by CottreII.

William P. Richards former District
tax assessor, has never been employed
by the Washington Board of Trade in
any capacity and has never received
any compensation from that organiza-
ton, as charged by Representative
Blanton, Democrat, Of Texas, Robert
j. Cottrell, executive secretary, said
today.
Blanton accused Richards of quit
ting his District position so he could
go on the pay roll of the Washington
Board of Trade"
Furthermore" Cottren said, "Mr.
Richards has never been an active
member of the Board of Trade. He
has paid his dues and has been on our
rolls for % years. but during that time
ne has never served on a committee,
so far as I know, and has never repre-
sented the board or acted for it in any
capacity"
Blanton Letter Published.
Blanton, in an extension of re-
marks" in the Congressional Record.
published letter to Senator Thomas,
Democrat, Of Oklahoma, in which he
said:
"As to Mr.. Richards, since he has
lately gotten on the Board of Trade
pay roll he has suddenly changed
front from the evidence he has been
giving us for the past 20 years"
Further on in the letter Blanton
asserted that Richards resigned from
the District service instead of retiring
with retirement pay, but added: He
did this so he could GO on the pay roll
of the Washington Board of Trade"
Not Consulted by Parker.
Cottrell, in answer to questions, also
said that so far as he knows, Richards
was not consulted by L. H. Parker, tax
expert, whose recent report on Dis
trict taxation has been attacked by
Blanton.
so far as I know, Mr.. Richards did
not even know we had retained Mr..
Parker to make the survey. If he
knew anything about it, Mr.. Parker
must have told him, for the Board of
Trade certainly did not" Cottrell said

TAX CUT IS BALKED
BY SCHOOL BUDGET
Montgomery Board Had
Hoped to Make Slight Re-
duCtion in Rate.
BY JACK ALLEN,
Stan Correspondent of The Star.

ROCKVILLE, Md, June 2.-An in
crease of approximately $85, 1000 in the
public school budget will more than
offset tax revenues from new property
developed during 1856 and virtually
precludes the possibility of any reduc-
ton in the Montgomery County tax
rate for the fiscal year beginning
July /.
County Commissioner Paul Coughlan
said today the commissioners, who are
engaged in drafting the 1867 budget
had been hopeful of effecting slight
reduction in the present $3.50 rate
until the demand for additional school
funds was received from the Board Of
Education yesterday.
Anticipated Reduction.
Previously, the board had been ad-
ViSed that interest charges on bonds
would be $44, 4,162.70 greater than dur
ing the current preiod, while the budget
also must provide for an increase rang
ing between Sl5,300 and $2O,30O for
election costs, due to the general elec-
tlOu neAG november.
The commissioners had anticipated
q cut in the rate, despite those two
increases. however, for a $5,000.000
raise in the county's assessable basis
resulting from the unprecedented real
estate boom now in progress will pro-
duce approximately $4,000 in new
revenue.
Coughlan said today, however, the
$4,000 in additional funds required
for the operation of the public schools
virtually puts to death any such plan
The budget for the Board of Education
cannot be altered by the commission
ers under State law.
School Head Asks $685., 900.
The school budget submitted to the
commissioners through DR.. Edwin W.
Broome. school superintendent, totals
$689,210, as compared to $605,69 for
the current year, which, in turn, was
an increase of $16O,000 over the pre-
vious fiscal period.
Coughlan said the increase is due
primarily to the employment of teach
ers needed in the many new school
buildings built, or now being con-
structed, under the $875,000 school
construction program.
He said that $3.50, 1880 was levied
for bond interest purposes this year,
while S403,936 must be raised for the
new year beginning July /. Election
costs last year were S14,7OO, while they
will range between $4,000 and $4,000
for the coming year. A definite figure
has not yet been fixed by the Board of
Election Supervisors.

the many beautiful and instructive
commemorative postage stamps which

of national significance or some per-
son notable in our country's history.
We have in the department at Wash

maintained solely for the purpose
of catering to the needs of stamp
collectors and those interested in
philately. For the fiscal year just
ended, the revenues Of the agency
will be more than 81 300 900. or more
than 81 ,000, 900 in excess of the normal
revenues for the previous fiscal year."
