CHICAGO FACING
CRISIS IN RELIEF

CHICAGO, May 10 UN.s0.
Federal officials today prepared
to take emergency steps to feed
81 800 Chicagoans as city officials
announced that relief funds will
be exhausted within 48 hours.
Admitting the city Is faced with
q $14,30O,0 900 deficit for the rest
of the, year, Mayor Edward J.
Kelly and officials Of the Chicago
Relief Administration said they
were powerleSs to prevent closing
Of the relief stations.
The only apparent solution Of
the relief crisis rests with Gov
ernor Henry Horner, who Is mo-
mentarily expected to issue a call
for q special session Of the State
legislature.
More than a million dollars Is
needed to face the relief needs in
the city Of Chicago for the month
Of May alone.
Even as State officials prepared
to cope with the situation, Federal
authorities were ready to step into
the breach and provide needed
foodstuffs during the days neceS-
sary to set the legal machinery
into motion. Surplus commodi-
ties, purchased by the Govern
ment in its agricultural adjust
ment program, will be distributed.

Diplomats Uneasy
MOT the Navy admirals but
IN the State Department dip
lomats are pushing inside to
hasten actual appropriations
for this new naval building pro-
gram. The admirals are in no
hurry, now that they have their
authorizations. They think
they will be able to take care of
anything on the horizon or over
it by moderate fulfillment of
the program.
But the diplomats are Signifi-
cantly, very significantly, un.
easy. They are insisting they
would feel safer, particularly in
the Pacific, with more ships
started on the ways.
Consequently interested Con-
gressmen are not much inclined
to rush a large immediate ap-
priation bill through. If the
President insists they will do it,
otherwise not.
NOTE-The 100000 ap-
preparation for another dirigible
disaster was put back into the
naval bill in conference in &C.
cordance with inner plans. AS
you were warned, it was omit
ted from the Senate bill only
to sideStep Senate discussion.

an Undersecretary Of State
should look, and Mrs. Welles,
handsome In flowing black chif-'

brary-huge sprays Of snowballs,
big clusters of deep pink and
white peonies, pink roses, purple
irises, laurel and low bowls
of pansies. Mrs. Welles was tell

After dinner I had a long
conversation with MRS. Hughes.
She and the Chief Justice are
planning to make a Mediter-

Supreme Court adjol1rnS. They
will go to Naples and take in

sent it to the White House where
it was promptly lost. Mr.. r.
then asked Henry to draft an
other, discovered 1t was too long,
decided to draft it himself, did,
found this one was too long also,
whereupon he decided to rewrite
it and is still in the process.
