Mr.. Grove was amiable. He had

He noticed during the meal that
Ramon and Ruth had disappeared. He
followed into the dark yard. He could
see Ruth in hammock, but not Ra-

"What are you, crazy? Mr.. Micks
demanded.

"a LOSE JOBS
IN DELAY ON
RELIEF FUND
John L. Keddy Blamed
for AIoof Attitude
Of Budget Bureau

While blame for the failure of
the Budget Bureau to give Sympa-
thetic consideration to the Dis
trict relief organizations proposed
$830,000 deficiency appropriation
was placed on John L. Keddy, as
sistant director of the bureau,
Otto J. CaSs, deputy Work Pro-
gress administrator, revealed to-
day that retrenchment had forced
a temporary furlough for "a Of
the AZ workers at the distribution
center of surplus food and cloth
ing for the needy.
CasS stated, however, that fur
loughing of the workers did not
mean the distribution project will
be discontinued. He said the lay
offs were due to a delay of a
SIS, 900 allotment at Federal WPA
headquarters for continuation of
the project.
The skeleton staff at the center,
he said, are filling the needs of
the daily 400 to 500 persons who
visit the center located at 615 D
st. S. w., and the "a workers fur
loughed will resume work when
the funds are approved.
Meanwhile it was revealed that
Keddy, leading the forces against
the proposed $83O,000 appropria-
ton to bolster the relief program
for the remainder of this fiscal
year, took the position that the
responsibility of caring for the
thousands of needy rests with the
churches rather than the Govern
ment.
His attitude, it was revealed, was
evidenced in an informal meeting
with representatives of welfare
and social organizations, at which
time the proposal for the appro-
priation recommended by the
Board of Public Welfare was re-
jected. His position brought a
charge of "dictatorial conduct"
from w. H. Savin, head Of the
Family Service Association.

CHURCH, RELIEF
CONTROL HIT

Saddling of the relief burden on
local churches was called utterly
impossible" by DR.. William l..
Darby, executive secretary of the
Federation of Churches, who to-
day declared that Assistant Budget
Bureau Director John L. Keddy
seems to have an obseSsion" on
relief.
The church leaders statement
was in refutation of remarks, re-
ported to have been made by Mr..
Keddy during conferences on the
proposal for a $830,000 deficiency
relief appropriation.
Mr.. Keddy's opposition was said
to be chifely responsible for the
killing of the appropriation. Ac.
cording to reports, the Budget Bu-
reau official was adamant in his
belief that only churches and
church people" should administer
relief.
DR.. Darby stated today:
"Relief is a public matter, not
a church matter. 1t would be
utterly impossible for the local
churches to take over relief. 1t
is a city-wide problem and can
be financed only through the
public budget"

perfect butler" who was indicted
several weeks ago in connection
with the theft of 100000 worth
Of jewelry from Mrs. Henrietta
Bugher, in whose home at 1785
Massachusetts, Ave. N. w., he had
been employed, pleaded guilty to-
day before Justice Peyton Gordon
in United States District Court.
While Morcischek is said to

most of which has been recovered,
he pleaded today to indictments

bills covered a 5000 pin belonging
to Mrs. Bugher and a $500 watch
belonging to her son, Frederick
Bugher,

Headquarters detectives, led by
Sergt. Joseph Shimon, found
among the effects of Morcischek
addresses of a number Of persons
living in other cities.
Tracing these persons, it was
found that a package containing
some Of the missing gems had
been mailed to a woman domestic
in New York. Further investiga.
ton led to discovery Of other pack

chek had mailed to other friends.
Attorney Robert I. Miller, who

meanwhile, Mr.. Miller explains, he
hopes to have available certain ex-
tenuating circumstances which
may have a decided effect on the
severity of the penalty.
