Relief Calls Beyond
Jurisdiction Flood
Social Service LEAGUE
Prince Georges Unit
Seeks Solution in
JobIess Situation

The Prince Georges County CMd)
Social Service League is receiving a
flood" of applications for unem-
ployment relief, the handling Of
which is not a function Of the league
and with which it cannot continue
to deal, it was revealed today by
Miss Mildred Alexander, league di-
rector.
Declaring the problem has already
reached emergency" proportions,
Miss Alexander said that since jan
uary she had received IS applica-
tions for assistance and service, 80
Of which were cases Of employables
seeking relief due to lack of work.
Solution Sought.
Meanwhile, Miss Alexander and
George w. Chesbro, executive secre-
tary Of the county's Public Welfare
Board, are exploring the entire
problem in search of a solution.
Miss Alexander said she is obtain
ing statistics from each applicant
In order to determine the magni-
tude of the problem.
$50 far we have had to handle
the problem because there is no
other county agency to deal with
It," Miss Alexander said. 1--WE are
not equipped to meet the need,
which is not really our job. We
have neither sufficient funds nor
staff. 1t is problem that must be
handled by a public agency"
The problem cannot be handled
by the welfare board under its
present policy, according to Mr..
Chesbro, who said that general pub
lie assistance is limited to unem-
ployables and families ineligible for
any other type of assistance such
as old age or aid to dependent
children.
Serves In Temporary Crises.
From the Leagues angle, Miss
Alexander explained that her or
ganization is primarily a service
agency designed to aid wage earners
who through such temporary exi-
gencies as illness are unable to meet
immediate financial responsibilities.
At the same time she said the league
also functions as a referral service.
Miss Alexander said that 81 of
the 80 applicants had received re-
lief from the league In the form of
food orders or cash for food.
They were simply emergency
cases that had to be met" she de-
clared.
