Municipal Lodging House Aids
Men Stranded Without Money!

What happens to the man who gets
stranded in Washington, with no
money, nothing to eat and no place
to sleep?
Many such men-about 35 each day
during the Summer-are finding a
temporary refuge at the Municipal
Lodging House, 3lo Third street. There
they get clean bed and two whole
some meals day while they are
looking for job or scraping together
the money TO get to the town where
they may have a job.
And surprisingly few of these men
down on their luck are of the old
rouIder" or hobo type that jammed
lodging houses of the cities a few
years ago, Supt. Henry A. Koch said
today
There was the physician from the
West who ran out of money in Wash
ington recently He had begun prac-
ticing medicine in New England, but
his wife contracted tuberculosis and
they moved to Arizona She died
there. The doctor spent all of his
money taking the body back to the
old home in New England. He was
fat broke when he got as far as
Washington on the way back to his
business in Arizona.
With nowhere else to turn, the doc
tor went for help to the nonresident
service OF the Public Welfare Divi-
sion. There he was sent to the munic-
ipal Lodging House, where he stayed
three nights while the relief officials
verified his story and bought him a
railroad ticket to Arizona When he
left, he took with him enough food
from the lodging house to live on
until he got home.
Koch recalled another guest" who
exhibited unusual gall in writing
from New Orleans for reservations
at the lodging house a few days be-
fore he hitch-hiked his way here
But this 50-year-old man had a Gov
ernment job and only wanted place
to stay until his first pay day. The
lodging house took care of him for
two weeks.
Most Of the men applying for the
free board, of course, are down-and-
out laborers. Many get stranded

J0B[ESS RELIEF
WEAKNESS SHOWN
Case Workers in Certifica-
tion Task Reveals Tragic
Plight of Many.

Tragic weaknesses in the Districts
unemployment relief program we're en-
countered by case workers under the
$55 900 fund made available last April
by Commissioner George E. Allen for
the certification of unemployed en-
ployables to w. P. A. rolls, according
to Miss Alice M. Hill, director of public
assistance. Board Of Public Welfare.
The division received 3,133 applica-
tions for certification from jobless en-
playable people and extended imme-
diate aid to 1877 Of them, Miss Hill
said in report yesterday.
"A survey OF this employable load"
she reported, revealed the pathetic
need of many persons for either work
relief, temporary care or intensive case
work treatment. 1t shows definitely
that cerification to w. P. A. solves
only part Of the problem presented by
the unemployed. 1t does not serve
those employable persons needing only
temporary care during some crisis nor
does 1t admit the need Of many fam
lilies for continued treatment after
certincation or even after assignment
to jobs.
Need Rehabilitation Program.
"The problem shows very clearly the
of relief in addition to wholesale certi-
flcation and assignment to work. We
nereal disease and tuberculosis were
the chief health problems encoun-
tered. While such diseases are infec-
tious these people should not be en-
ployed, but the period during which
treatment is necessary is much longer
in many families and such treatment
should be supervised"
The special fund was exhausted on
June rs, Miss Hill reported and before
that time 536 employable persons were
certified to the w. P. A. for assign
ment. Their names we're added to the
list Of 600 employables already await
ing assignment and none of them got
jobs
The experience during the period
that funds were available has proved
anew how regretable it Is that there
are no funds for relief and the re-
habilitation program on a stable basis
for employable persons In need OF as
sistance" Miss Hill said. THE short
period in which funds were available
was rather bitter experience in many
ways. It built up such false hopes in
the minds of needy people that they
r01I1A roiy, kou 80
curity and protection only to have
such hopes dashed in a few weeks.
The temporary help without a doubt
helped some families to reach an ad-
justment on basis of which they
could become self supporting, but there
are many more for whom the future
holds little hope"
Otto j. CaSs, District w. P. A. dep
uty administrator, pointed out that
the District Is limited to quota Of
5000 w. P. A. jobs. The quota is
fllled now, he said, and there are
1,400 persons whose projects expired
awaiting reassignment. In addition
there are 1,180 persons certified in
need Of work relief who are awaiting
their initial assignment.
Miss Hill reported that 26 per cent
Of the families to whom immediate
aid was extended under the $4,000
fund had never received relief pre-
viously. The average amount of relief
to family over the whole period from
April 7 to June Is was $2178, Miss
Hill reported.

The District Commissioners are

ton that the District must put up its

share is s38e.0oo.
Although the projects pertaining to

AIRPORT PROTEST
HEARINGS TO OPEN
House Naval Affairs Group
to Weigh Criticism of
Camp Springs Site.

Public hearings on the Navy De-
partment protest against the proposed
construction of District airport at
Camp Springs. Md, will begir before
the Aeronautics Subcommittee of the
House Naval Affairs Committee at
1890 am. tomorrow, it was an
nounced today by Chairman Delaney
of New York.
The subcommittee has invited rep
resentatives of the Navy, the District
Airport Commission and other inter-
ested parties to appear before it in
the first public airing of views on
the Camp Springs proposal.
The Navy protest, delivered by
Admiral William Leahy, chief of naval
operatins and Acting Secretary Of the
Navy, is based on the contention that
Camp Springs is too close to the
sl,oOO,0oO naval radio station at
Cheltenham, Md. Ignition interfer-
ence from airplanes passing over the
station at low altitude would interfere
with radio operation and the $50
foot radio masts proposed at Chelten-
ham would constitute hazard to
aircraft in bad weather, the Navy
contends
Benjamin King, local sportsman
pilot and holder of eight world avia-
ton records, is expected to take a
leading role in the defense of the
Camp Springs site. He characterized
the Navy theory Of ignition inter-
ference as absurd" said that the
Navy is mistaken in its estimate of
the distance Of the landing area of
the proposed site from Cheltenham
and held that the hazard presented
by radio towers is minimized by their
distance from the field and the fact
that they are to stand on much lower
ground than Camp Springs.

looking for Job and are given
ticket home after spending a few
days at the lodging house. Others
come here to job, but have to live
on the city until their first pay day
Some are veterans who run out Of
money while here to see about a pen
sion or disability pay A group of
youngsters we're taken care Of last
week until their places in nearby
c. c. c. camp opened up. The aver
age lodger is about IS years old and
remains six days.
The lodging house first was estab-
lished in 1855 by private citizen
who was moved to such action by
the stream Of discharged Civil War
soldiers coming through Washington
penniless and begging something to
eat and place to sleep. 1t was
taken over as public charity in
1895
Now financed by congressional ap-
preparation, the lodging house spends
$4,000 a year for maintenance-food,
heat, light, laundry, etc. It's meals
cost an average of 7 cents each. 1t
can take care of SO men a night,
and usually is full during the Winter
with slump in Summer time.
The meals are varied. There al
ways is meat and two vegetables
bread and coffee for supper. For
breakfast, there are prunes and eggs
one morning and cereal with milk and
fruit the next Beds are clean, with
fresh linen. Each lodger has to take
a bath before going to bed and is CIV
en- clean nightshirt while his clothes
are put through fumigator.
All this costs the doWn-and-outer
nothing in money. He pays for his
keep with little work each day,
making his bed, sweeping the floor
or washing dishes.
Not for some years has an appli-
can't for the free lodging refused to
take bath. But 10 years ago."

or three men nearly every night be-
cause they wouldn't bathe Most of
them were afraid of the water-afraid
it would give them a cold. Now, with
