Mr.. Street, speaking on Public
Welfare and the Future In the Dis
trict of Columbia" expressed the be-
lief that public welfare here and
throughout the country will continue
to be the dominant and most ex-
panding form of social work, as con-
trasted with private social work"
After outlining what he thought
would be the future in welfare work
here, Mr.. Street added:
These prospects will and must be
fortified by the Council of Social
Agencies as our great community's
social planning body. The prospects
would be improved If we had the
vote-at least for our own repre-
sentation in Congress. 1t is tragic
that in the Capital of the greatest
democracy in the world there is no
democracy"

Drain on Capacity.
'The amount and repetition. of
human suffering throughout the
World-instances such as reading in
one day of purges in Russia. bomb
ings in Spain and China, suicides
in Vienna and the story of unem-
ployment in America-drain our
capacity for emotional response to
the extent that we become callous
to human suffering" Dr. Clinchy
said in his prepared address.
Another drain on capacity for
faith in humanity, the speaker said,
is the contact with so many
"chiselers. not only those who cheat
to secure relief. but judges who
take bribes leaders of nations who
break promises about future con-
quests and nations whose action
is purely self -centered."

GAS MAIN GETS
BLAST BLAME

BARBERTON, O.-Officials to-
day blamed broken gas main for
the explosion which wrecked a
frame grade school building here.
injuring 81 persons. Fumes from
the main apparently were ignited
when Janitor Harry White set fire
to waste paper.
Casualties included SO first and
second grade pupils and four
adults. Physicians feared four Of
the children might die.
Teacher Mabel Miller said there
was a rush of air, booming roar
and then binding flash of flame.
After that no one knows what hap
pened. Some of the children were
hurled through breaks in the
walls
J. j. Rubin, who was working
on an adjacent tool shed, said he
heard roar, and then the
screams of children. It seemed to
me there was a second blast. 1t
seemed to raise the building right
up in the air.
Some children fell from the
first floor to the basement and
some fell from the second floor to
the street"

gives an analysis of salient factors
Resulting from the matches between
the 10 kleiner meisters. He says:
ON the basis of time consumed,
Martin Stark undoubtedly deserves
the title gained.
The average player required 287
minutes to make move and aver
aged 1873 moves per game.
"A total of 1927 moves were made
in the District tournament. con-
suming a total of 164 hours, 8h

was between Mengarini and Mug

the 10 players. 18 were won by white
pieces, 16 by black and ii we're

Kings Pawn and 8 irregular, divided
