Immediately predicted it would be
reported out of the Senate Finance

tees by February Is. Instead, other
matters, such as the State Police in
vestigation, have overshadowed it.
Hearings still are going on and it is
serving as a backlog behind which
other important legislation is dam

Relief Allotment
May Be Stopped
Officials Learn
County Not Included In List
Sent General Assembly
By State

Through some error or oversight
relief allotments for Montgomery
County may be held up, officials learn
ed yesterday. This county was not in
cluded in the list sent the General
Assembly by the Board Of State Aids
and Charities.
The county's relief allotment last
year amounted to $35,7O0 and the
needs for general public assistance
for the current fiscal year have been
estimated at $4,000. About $50 fam
lilies are on the relief roll.
P. Ray Souder, supervisor Of coun-
ty aid, who administers public assis-
lance funds, declined to comment on
the situation beyond expressing con-
Germ at the possibility of the money
being withheld from the county.
One explanation for omission Of
the county from the list was that no
estimate Of the needs of the county
was filed with the State board. Sou
der said he made no estimate because
he had not been required to do SO last
year and had not been told it was
necessary.
Miss Dorothy A. Everson, executive
secretary of the county welfare
board, said her agency had not pre-
sented the estimate because it no
longer administers public assistance,
pointing out that the county is one
Of four in the State where the well
fare board does not handle the money
used for this type Of relief.
She said in view of this fact the
routine request of the State board
for an estimate of future needs had
been turned over to Souder this year.
Later she said at his request she had
drawn up an estimate for next year
which approximated $4,000, and had
forwarded it to the State board.
Frank H. Karn, president Of the
board of county commissioners, prom
Used an effort to get the county put
back on the list.

"In ITO John Paul Jones, founder
of the American Navy was cruising
in the North Sea with five American
ships when he fell in with British
Merchant men fleet and British war
ships. In the battle ensuing Paul
Jones ship, Bon Homme Richard, was
sunk and Paul Jones transferred his
men and the many wounded to the
Scraps, British frigate which he had
captured. With the Scraps and the
Pallos, u. s. ship, he entered the port
of Den Helde, Holland. (This is the
home port of the Dutch Submarine

Paul Jones reports the cordial recep-
ton received at the hands of the
citizenry of Den Helde: All that the
Holland danes and maidens could do
was done to alleviate the suffering Of
our many wounded. For many days
they brought to the ship baskets with
fruits, delicacies, and medical sup

PARLEY AvERTS
RUSSIA ACTION
AGAINST ITALY

NYON, Switzerland, Sept. II. W.P)
The Mediterranean Conference
agreed today that Great Britain
and France shall police the Mediter-
ranean against submarine piracy,
with the cooperation of Italy if the
latter accepts their invitation to
participate.
Other powers would patrol only
their own home waters this would
confine Soviet Russia to the Black
Sea and avert a possible interna-
tional explosion in the Mediter-
ranean.
The agreement had only to be
approved by the governments con-
cerned, after which the conference
would consider it's swift job of paci-
fication ended.
The conference soothed Russia
by agreeing that the international
patrol shall protect ships of all
powers, instead of protecting only
ships of their own nations. BY the
same stroke, it pacified Italy by
permitting Russia to keep her war;
ships out of the Mediterranean
without losing face"
Britain and France, with the
possible cooperation of Italy,
would assume responsibility for pa
trolling the entire Mediterranean,
scrapping the previous plan in
which all the interested powers
would have participated.
