LOCAL RELIEF
DISPUTE CROWS

President Roosevelt may be
asked to take a hand in the re-
lief crisis when the 1889 District
supply bill, now returned to con
ference, comes to the White House
for his signature.
The Citizens Committee on Un-
employment and Relief, which has
voted to take the problem to the
President when and If it becomes
necessary, is giving close consid-
Grafton to the question of asking
President Roosevelt to aid the To-
cal relief dilemma.
The committee believes Con-
gress had shirked the RESPONSE
bility of aiding the unemployed
here, not only by appropriating
only 100000 for direct relief, but
by ordering an investigation to be
completed after Congress has ad-
journed, when there will be no
chance to obtain further relief.
If the committee goes to the
White House, it will ask the Presi-
dent either to ask Congress to
have the relief investigation COM
pleted before adjournment or to
lift the limitation on the way the
5000, 900 must be spent.

RESCUER FAILS,
YOUTH BROWNS

A 16-year4old youth valiantly
sought to save a colored boys life
today when the latter sank to his
death in a leaky skiff near the
engineers wharf on the south side
of the Potomac Channel.
Fred Satterwhite, Is, of 216
Indiana Ave. N. W., set out in
search of a job this morning, but
as the skies were so sunny, he
decided to walk to the river bank.
There he saw 13-year-old Belford
Smith, colored. of 433 H st. N.
W., floundering in a boat about
so feet from shore.
Satterwhite stripped himself
and swan out to aid the trapped
victim, but the latter, overcome
by fear and unable to swim a
stroke, fought with him until
Satterwhite, almost overcome,
barely managed to swim out of
danger.
When harbor police arrived
young Smith had gone under.
First aid methods failed to revive
him and he was pronounced dead
at Emergency Hospital.

During the regime of her famous father the

the wife of the brilliant Nicholas Longworth, of
Ohio, late Speaker of the House of Representa-

purple to which she was born.

vaccinated against that growing national disease,

much of the fanily's summer

In a flash of an eye-just like
a G-man-he whipped out his cap

went. But let him tell it:

Exchange of Goods Essential

ENINALLY, ''the American standard of living"
= would be utterly impossible without reliance
upon imports of numerous foreign products, and
the profitable export of many things we make.
Such exchange of goods enables us to live much
cheaper and better than we could without it.
Most economists agree we will never have a
complete return to prosperity until our foreign
trade is restored to normal. We can have a
spell of "rearmament boom" by using Govern
ment credit lavishly to make war supplies. In
the end, however, there would be little or moth

should induce us to 60 down that road.
