dered by Congress were being made

welfare, said the action of Congress
left the District with no alternative
but to cut approximately $1,000 .
month from the funds distributed to
10000 destitute unemploybles.

bill forced the public assistance divi-
sion to send out checks for the first
half OF July on the basis OF last years
budget. Miss Hill said. Az q result.
she explained, 1t was necessary to take
the full monthly deduction from the
checks sent out for the last half Of

that next month the deductions will
be made more equitably.
In some instances. the deductions
were AZ high q 80 per cent while in

Former welterweight wrestling cham
pion OF the A. Z. r., title won at the

Cal Farley gave up athletics to 60 into
radio, among other things, and now
brags about championship in reverse.
Personal friend Of such champions
or near champions IS Gene Tunney,
Jack Dempsey, Georges Carpenter.
Cal b determined to uphold his own
title-at all cost.
Il figure there's lot Of distinction
in being the worst radio announcer In
the world, and admitting it." Cal said
yesterday after he had shaken hands
with 500-odd buddies who back up his
contention about being the worst
radio announcer in captivity.
Cal broadcAsts from Station KGNC

And you actually admit you are
terrible?"
Admit It? I brag about i'll"
Farley figures it this way: Most Of
the radio announcers think they are
good-when they are terrible. All Of
them want to be tops. Me? I'm origi-
nal. want TO be the worst And,
believe me, that's An ambition
And job just think how many
there are In the field :"
Terrible as he ion the air-Cal
says he has perfected . tchniuue-
and he recommends it for the improve
ment Of radio:
4 talk fast and use q lot of slanR
-. Hetcha stuff And the national
networks, when they get wise to
themselves, will make their announcers
do the same thing, instead of trying to
talk 20 meticulously That's the
word They're 10 precise they're
painful i. . Consider their work when
they're broadcasting foot ball games.
