CITY DRIVE FOR
RELIEF FUNDS.
Budget Slash May
Force Campaign

Private welfare agencies are
considering a campaign to raise
funds for local unemployment re-
lief in the event Congress abides
by the Budget Bureau recommen-
dation of a 100000 relief appro-
priation for the comnig fiscal year.
This decision has been made
following refusal by the House Dis
trict appropriations subcommittee
to include a larger local relief
fund than the current allotment
o. 81 1886, 900, and in accepting the
Budget Bureaus drastic SlaShing.
ASKS $3,247,75O
The Board of Public Welfare
has asked for $3,247,75O. Efforts
will be made when the Senate
District Committee begins con-
sideration of local appropriations
to raise the Budget Bureau recon-
merdation by at least $4,000, 900.
Mrs. William A. Roberts, secre-
tary of the Council of Social
Agencies, said 100000 would be
totally inadequate to care for the
5000 persons in the families OF
5000 employables now out of
work" She stated that at least
$4,000 would be needed.

Quoted by a house to house sub

resort should Congress turn a deaf
ear to local relief needs.
The District Commissioners re-
mained silent on any express pro-
gram for meeting relief require
ments in Washington.
Congress may be asked to con-
duct it's own investigation into
the demands of the Board of Pub
lie Welfare for a relief fund of
$3,247,750 for the coming year.

Frau Dieckhoff will remain in Berlin until the

Architecturally the new embassy will blend Ger

The lot already owned by the German govern

sell the Street property. The 100000 of good

said Won Bernstorff had left him in charge and
given him lease indefinitely Local police agreed
with Jerry.
The courts also considered the problem earn
