nection with a knife attack on his
wife last Thanksgiving Day, Carl
King, 90, pleaded guilty before

and engaged in an alteration
with his 20-year-old wife. When
police responded to her call for
assistance she IS said to have re-
ported to them. that her husband
had cut her hand and had barl-
caded himself in their apartment

shots through the panel, narrowly

RELIEF
Social Agencies See
Dire Distress If
Refused Sum

Painting q dark picture Of the
prospective relief situation in
Washington for the next fiscal
year, representatives of the Coun-
Gil of Social Agencies today urged
the House District Appropriations
subcommittee to provide an addi-
tional 81, 900, 900 above the amount
recommended in the budget for re-
lief in 1888.
Mrs. w. A. Roberts. vice chair
man Of The Council of Social
Agencies told the subcommittee
that it is estimated that 10000
people who are able to work will
be unable to find employment in
the District during the next fiscal
year.
Drastic Need
The budget recommended that
81 ,465,0 be made available for
relief employment purposes next
eyar, and the group today de-
clared that unless this is supple
mented by an additional $1,000, 900
the relief situation here next year
will be deplorable.
At present, the funds made
available for the current fiscal
year has become so depleted that
only unemployables can be cared
for. The budget recommendation
for next year is approximately
81 ,000, 900 less than the amount al
lowed for the current fiscal year.
Members of the group who teSti-
fled this morning asserted that
private institutions and organiza-
tions are making every possible ef-
fort to cope with the situation, but
find the task of caring for all of
those out of work and not cared
for by District relief funds too
large.
Would Shift Control
Charges made yesterday that re-
lief funds here had been spent Law
iShly and unWiSely brought from
Representative Ross Collins CD
of Mississippi, chairman of the
House District Appropriations sub
committee, the opinion that the
funds should be taken from the
control of the public assistance
division and placed directly under
Auditor Daniel J. Donovan.
PICKUP
The charges were made by
Thomas E. Lodge, president of the
Federation of Citizens Associa-
tions, who emphasized that he was
speaking as a private citizen and
not as a federation officer.
It was pointed out that since
1888, $41,000.000 had been ex-
pended for unemployment relief
in the Nations Capital, and that /
despite the fact that this city did
not suffer during the depression
as much as most others, many
families had been denied relief
and all the money had been used
up. Part Of the funds came from
the Federal Treasury, it was ex-
planned.
Direct Control Asked
It also was Mr.. Lodge who urged
that the auditors Office be given
direct control of the accountings
and disbursements by case work

The inhabitants Of the area
claim to have presented their prob

however, confirms the assertion
that all attempts at correction
have proven abortive.
Cleric Leads Fight
The Rev. George j. Cannon, Of
the Washington Highlands Baptist
c h ur C h, was particularly dis
traught today over the dwelling
conditions of his parishioners and
announced that he will attempt to
focus the attention of District and
Federal officials on the problem.
His announcement followed the
statement of Mrs. Edna Rettstatt,
of 1875 Yuma st. S. E., the recent
illness of her three children, Zane,
Doris and Wendell, jr., could be
traced in large part to the lack Of
sanitary facilities in her home.
simultaneously, the Washington
Highlands Citizens Association en-
listed its support in the drive to
provide sewer and water services
for the area.
According to C. E. Roberts, of
Ill Xenia st. S. E., chairman of

GOV. VANCE ON WATER
To the Editor:

10 the EQlCOr.
About twelve years ago some will
remember that our city water got so
bad that it was unfit to drink and it
moved me to write your paper quot
ing a story told about the late Sena-
tor Vance and as perhaps it has been
forgotten and hoping that it will re-
suit in an improvement in our water,
1 am repeating:
1t was told that Senator Vance and
a couple of his friends on one occa-
sion went into a saloon to get drink,
the bartender asked the senator what
he would have and he said, Whisky
straight. He asked another of his
friends, what he would have, and he
said, IA Whisky Toddy," he turned
to the other gentleman and asked
what he would have and he said,
water" aid the senator said, What
water? why my friend did you know
that the word water is not mentioned
in the Bible but once as a beverage,
and then only one drop and the man
who wanted it was in He'll where he
ought to be-"
I am wondering if some one has
conspired with the city fathers to
force us to follow the Senator's ex-
ample.
