Private Social Agencies
Seen Facing Test
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
PITTSBURGH, Feb. 18.-Pressed
by high taxes for relief, the public
is demanding more and more eff
cheney from private social agencies,
Bradley Buell. of New York told the
Pennsylvania Conference on Social
Work here.
The director of the New York
Community Chest and Councils, Mr..
Buell. said last night he knew OF
many private agencies that are do
ing exactly the same things as are
the public agencies of their commu-
mites and often not doing them so
WELL" He continued:
Il would suggest that the uneasi-
ness in the public mind about pri-
vate service is not due to any real
doubt that private enterprise in this
welfare field is sound, but to a vague
but nevertheless real questioning as
to whether its present program is
producing anything sufficiently diff
ferent from the public program,
either in kind OF in quality, to be
worth the preseuN COST"

shot to death in gun battle with
police near Rising Sun, Md. today

on foot when approached by the
police. License tags on the stolen
vehicle had been taken from another
car parked on the roof of the Butler
shop in the HOO block of Twenty

entered the shop before it was locked
up or made entry from the roof after
it was closed.

the two colored men on Highway 4C
and sought to arrest them.

MANASSAS, Va, Feb. ia heap
of cooling ashes and gaunt
chimney today marked the home
site at Greenwich, near here, where
father gave his life in a valiant
but futile effort to save seven of his
children from flaming death last
night.
Only the mother, clasping her
youngest child in her arms, was able
to run from the home before the
roof fell in.
Sc was under the care of a ply
sician today as county authorities
began an investigation of the trage-
dy, one of the worst in the history
of this section.
Those who died in the fire, which
occurred shortly before 10 pm. with
all the suddenness of an explosion,
were Ed Hansborough, 40, a carpen-
ter and popular baseball player and
his children, Harriet, IL; Edward, 10;
Sam, 9; Mamie, Z; Beulah, 6; Lena,
S, and Effie, 4.
Commonwealth Attorney William
Hill Brown began an investigation
today, aided by Sheriff G. P. Ker-
win and Coroner E. H. Marsteller. An
inquest probably will be called later.
AS far as could be determined
before the ruins cooled, all bodies
were completely consumed, except
that of the father.
The mother sobbed out a story
OF what occurred in the au-too-
brief moments between the time she
first realized her home was on fire
and the collapse of the roof in a
fountain of flames and sparks.
The seven children had gone to
bed and were asleep in the upstairs
rooms OF the two-story, semi-bunga-
low. The mother was awake and
reading in ground-f1oor bedroom,
where her husband and baby lay
sleeping. Suddenly she became
aware of cracking sound upstairs.
She awoke her husband.
Mr.. Hansborough, his wife said,
told her to take the baby and get
out of the house while he went after
the other children.
The father ran up the stairs as
his wife fled to safety with the baby.
That was the last she saw of him,
Mrs. Hansborough said. A moment
later the roof came crashing down.
