Welfare Director RESIGNS,
AssoiIs inadequate
Relief Funds

With a parting shot at inadequate
relief appropriations and the Crit
fenhagen reorganization proposals.
Director of Public Welfare Elwood
Street today announced his resigna-
ton, effective June Is, to become
secretary and director of the Com
munity Fund and executive secre-
tary of the Council of Social
Agencies in Richmond. Va.
At the same time, Mr.. Street eX-
pressed his regret at having to
make this change at the present
time" without refuting adequately
charges contained in the recent re-
lief investigation.
Mr.. Street. vino has been director
of District Public Welfare for the
past five years, filed notice of the
resignation of his $1,000 post with
the Board of Public Welfare this
afternoon.
In his letter to the board he out
lined in detail the reasons which
impelled him to take steps. In the
first place, he said. the hospitals
which had previously been included
under the Board of Public Welfare
since it's establishment in 1926 were
transferred to the Health Depart
ment July /, 1887.
Nature of Work Changed.
This action diminished consid-
erably my interest in the Board of
Public Welfare as an all-inclusive
community service agency" he said,
destroying the unity of the pro-
gram and changing considerably the
character of the work l had agreed
to do"
A few months ago. he said, he
notified Community Chests and
Councils. Inc. of New York City,
the national clearing house for such
agencies, that he wanted to return
to the field of community organiza-
ton. He had previously directed the
Washington Community Chest.
The offer to 60 to Richmond was
the result of this action, he said.
Citing the decrease in the fund
allotted to welfare work and seeing
no prospect of an immediate in
crease, Mr.. Street declared:
Il am unwilling to continue re-
sponsibility as social worker for
an expenditure which falls so far
short of the need which I believe

In Selling Stampede
By the Associated Press.

NEW YORK. April 6.-StOck prices
fell between 81 and 81 share on
the stock exchange today in mid
morning burst of heavy selling which
ran two or three minutes ahead Of
the tickers for a quarter of an hour.
The main reason for the sudden
furry, brokers said, was the Albanian
situation and the fear that hostili-
ties might result from an invasion
of King Zog's country by Italian
troops.
The selling was given impetus by
nervous traders who were reducing
their holdings in preparation for
tomorrow, Good Friday, when the
exchange will be closed, and for the
long holiday in Europe where most
markets will be closed until Tuesday.
The selling deluge, In which Du

.-Well-informed sources here to-

meant as a warning to both Yugo-
slavia and Greece to stay out of the
Anglo-French anti-aggression bloc

the purpose of hermetically sealing

The Yugoslav government. offici-
ally informed of Italys intentions,
professed to be calm, but the people
were nervous. They heard that sew
eral Italian planes arrived at Tirana
today carrying high italian off,
cials.
Talk Disruption Reported.
Yugoslavs said Italy recently re-
sumed financial and economic talks
with Albania. but these did not
progress in a satisfactory way for
the Italians. who, through the italian
National Bank, are reported here to
be actually financing the entire
Albanian administration and King
zog's personal budget.
The first Italian loans to Albania
we're due in 1885, but Albania could
or would not pay, so Italy demanded
new concessions, according to the
version here She wanted monop-
olistic mining rights in the mineral
areas. with the privilege OF settling
italians there, it was said.
Albania refused the Italian de-
mands and promptly an Italian
feet demonstration was staged at
Durazzo. a harbor on the Northern
Albanian coast, resulting in Albania
yielding.
More Loans Due Now.
Now more loans are due and
Albania has no money to repay
Italy repeatedly wants to occupy the
Albanian coastline las security for
the loans" and also as a demon
stration to Britain and France, but
Albanians are reported here to be
unwilling to accept this solution.
For the last five days or so big
popular demonstrations have taken
place at Tirana demanding that
King Zog resist Italy by armed
force, reports received in Belgrade
said
