D. c. RELIEF PROBE
BACKEDBY GROUP
Southwest Citizens Urge
More Funds for Old
Age Assistance.

The Southwest Citizens Association
last night asked an investigation Of
the adminitration of public relief in
the District and opposed an increase in
the relief appropriation over The
5000, 900 passed by the House, but
asked that $220,000 be added to the
old-age assistance item, bringing 1t to
the s7o5, 900 approved by the Bureau
of the Budget.
without this addition" Mrs. Walter
S. Ufford, chairman of the Public
Welfare Committee, said, "either new
applicants, who under law are entitled
to assistance, must be refused or the
average payment, about SIS month,
must be lowered.
A resolution introduced by Mrs. Uf-
ford and asking that the $1,000 ap-
proved by the House for an investiga-
ton of local relief be made immedi-
ately available was adopted. The
proposal suggested the American Pub
lie Welfare Association or the research
department of the Social Security
Board make an impartial study.
More Relief Voted Down.
Another resolution by Mrs. Ufford,
asking an increase in the District relief
appropriation to $l,9O0000, particu-
larly to care for INDECENT jobless en-
ployables, was voted down after men,
bers wanted to know where the money
is coming from"
The addition of at least 20 public
health nurses to the present force of
"a and the appropriation of $4,000 for
drugs for the INDECENT sick served by
the public health nurses was asked .
The association repeated its request
that Seventh street S.W. be made a
through street by placing stop signs
at all intersections.
Better Bus Service Asked.
Better bus service on the Fourth
street SW. lines and better street car
service on the Seventh street S.W.
lines also was requested.
President Harry S. Wender reported
that as result of the associations re-
quests the north wall of the Army
War College would be beautified with
shrubbery and grass. The District will
furnish the materials and the War
College the labor, he reported.
The meeting was held in the JET
ferson Junior High School.

"YESS1R. when was down on the

we had the real old railroadin' days"
An old engineer was speaking. "One
time we had one Of those tough prob
lens to figure out that were always
coming up because Of the single tracks
and use Of switches for trains to pass
one another. One time was ap-
preaching a switch with old ~ pulling
SO cars. Down beyond the switch I
could see Jim Jones locomotive chug-
ging toward me. We had to pass and
the switch would only hold rs cars.
How do you suppose we passed each

COLOR, INDEED \
THAT PICNIC FOR
ICKES AND BRIDE.
Red, Purple, Green-But
Mostly It's Faces

Washington dowagers' faces are
purple, Washington hosts faces
are green, WPA deputy subassis-
tants' faces are red-and all in
all the picnic Oscar Chapman and
Ebert K. Burlew gave for Secre-
tary Ickes and his bride was a
colorful affair.
The dowagerS are purple, be-
cause, my dear, everybody knows a
Cabinet wife makes her first pub
lie appearance clad in the very
latest creation, entering the for
NAL diningroom upon the arm of
a ranking dig-nitary and sits,
Naturally, where the diagram
says she is to sit!
But she didn't!
AND THERE WASN'T
Washington hosts faces are
green because, as everybody who
Is anybody knows, there should
be some consultation made, don't
you know, as to who has the social
RIGHT, you knoW-the proper
RIGHT to be the first to entertain
. new Cabinet wife!
But there wasn't!
And the Assistant Secretaries
and their assistants assistants
faces are red because when it was
proposed to greet the bride Of the
Secretary of the Interior in the
exterior-nobdy in the entire WPA
had the remotest idea of where
O picnic could be staged.
WHERE was there any place?
For even with the ardent search
for informality going to extremes,
you couldn't exactly sit around on
the Mall! There's too much build
ing going on!
EYES, JAWS OPEN
But finally the tension was re-
rlaced by amazement when some
body suggested:
why don't you fellows do
this picnic thing up right?
Stage it in an Interior Depart
ment park which has been made
beautiful by the loving hands
Of PWA workers themselves.
Official eyes widened and Off
eial jaws sprang open as official
voices chorused:
But there ISN'T any such
thing!"
Whats the matter with Pail
Sades Park on the Potomac?"
"Pp-palisades Park? Why
that's up on the Hudson"
1T is not. It's in South Caro-
lima and it isn't "a"
It's right here in Washing |
ton-it's on the Potomac-it was
set aside by the Interior Depart
ment--developed by PWA funds
and is one of the swellest
places"
And they looked it up-and, by
golly, there it WAS!
ANTS, AND EVERYTHING
So they got together their paper
plates, and their festive garlandS
and olives with their tail lamps
lit-and les sandwiches hambur-
guers-and les picquels-and prac-
tically the whole of the smart set
went right or out to Palisades
Park yesterday and got ants in
their paper napkins and had a
grand time!
Music for the occasion was pro-
vided by a distinguished concer-
tina in the hands of a maestro who
most of the time gravitated to the
knoll upon which sat Mr.. and Mrs.
Ickes surrounded (oh, good gra-
ciousD by almost Anyone present
without a single formal presenta-
ton of the Cabinet wife, who, with
her husband and their friends,
probably never even thought about |,
the fact that the dowagers' faces
would be purple and the hosts
faces green. Yes, sir! 1t was a col
orful affair!
