Suffering the after effects of poor

a sl50,000 tax deficit and payless
pay days for municipal employees,
this resort city had an acute relief
problem on its hands today.
The city's relief administrator was

dreds of aged persons recently
dropped from the w. P. A. were
clamoring for old age pensions or
other help.

warned city and county officials last
night: Hungry men and women are
not going to wait long for relief
they will go out and steal before
meekly submitting to starvation. +"

and demanding help They were
advised by Freeholder Howard Reed
to march on the local warehouse of
the Federal Surplus Commodities
Corp. and take food stored there"
He charged food was kept there
until it spoils."
None of them went there, but the
store manager, Thomas Fox, said
nothing of that sort was necessary
because there's plenty of stuff for
everybody. and relief authorities can
get all they want" He said local
relief authorities never had made
use of the F. S. C. C.'s supplies.
Meanwhile the executive secretary
