lesson from a case in Police Court

In the morning, after Mr.. Fowler
and Mr.. Watson had searched all
over the place. Mrs. Fowler decided
she had had her little fun.
why don't you look under the
rug?" she asked. One of the men
remarked he had already searched
there.
About this time, Mr.. Watson said
he had to 60 to work, and when
he had gone, Mrs. Fowler herself
looked under the rug.
The $42 was gone.
Mr.. Watson was charged in court
with stealing it, but Judge Walter

Ask D. T.. Be Included
In New Works Bill

The Commissioners today asked
Senator Byrnes, Democrat, of South
Carolina to amend his pending bill
providing for establishment of
new Department of Public Works so
as not to exclude the District from
receiving Federal relief, public works
and social security grants.
In letter to Senator Byrnes,
Commissioner Hazen pointed out
that one section of the bill propos-
ing to consolidate P. w. A., w. P. A.
and some social security activities
under the new department provided
for apportioning the Federal funds
among the States and Territories,
but did not include the District.
I'm the past" the letter said, "the
District of Columbia has received
grants from both the Public Works
Administration and the Works
Progress Administration, but this
assistance must be withdrawn in
the future if all the available funds
are to be apportioned to the States
as above defined.
1.-The Commissioners believe the
District Is as much entitled to par
ticipate in the benefits conferred BY
this legislation as the States and
Alaska, Hawaii and Puerto Rico and
we,, therefore, request that the Sec
tion be amended so as to include
the District within the definition of
the word State"

More Funds 10 Increase
Welfare Staff Urqed

Representatives of seven local
welfare agencies urged the District
Commissioners today to seek def
cheney appropriation Of $4,000 to
increase personnel in the Public
Assistance Division.
A statement by Dorsey w. Hyde,
jr., chairman of a joint committee,
said the request for immediate ac-
ton was Endorsed by the Welfare
Department of the American Le-
gion, the Bureau Of Rehabilitation,
Catholic Charities, Family Service
Association, Welfare Department Of
the Federation of Churches, Jewish
Social Service Agency and the Trav-
elers' Aid Society.
MIR. Hyde said q lack Of sufficient
workers in the Public Assistance Di-
vision now makes it necessary to
schedule applications for assistance
as far as month in advance.
"The layon of w. P. A. workers" !"
he said, because Of potential eligi-
bility for one of the social security
categories aggravated an already Sc
rious situation. Suffering and con-
fusion are resulting from the in
ability of the Public Assistance Di-
vision to interview promptly those
who are turning to them for help.
Moreover, the lack Of staff results
in case workers in this division hav-
ing an average case load of over 100.
Experience indicates that neither
effective investigation nor rehabili-
tation can be achieved with such
excessively high case loads"

That galley is something to mar
vel at, too, in an airplane. It's
fully equipped, with a steam table,
gallon-capacity drip coffee maker,
ice box, and all. AS a matter of
fact, where the stewards in smaller
clippers pile the dirty dishes in a
metal container to be taken ashore
and washed, they now have to turn
to after dinner and wash up the
dishes in the galley's sink. Which,
in a way, epitomizes this whole
great ALTON airplane. America can
expect great things of Yankee Clip
per and her sisters on the worlds
ocean trade routes. And, with these
ships, America can expect world
leadership in the air over those
ocean airways.
