New Regulations.Seer
By Welfare Director
|As Result Of S|ashes

Additional regulations may have
to be made by the Board of Public
Welfare to save the 100000 de-
manded by Congress in the Districts s
administration of public assistance,
according to Ray L. Huff, director
of the Department of Public Well
fare.
Yesterday Mr.. Huff said that
while 5,006 cases in this category
had been reviewed and 1,451 cases
held up for further investigation,
only $50 were marked closed. He
said the others held probably would
remain on the rolls If they were able
to re-establish eligibility, but most
would receive less than they have
been getting.
Those who have been receiving as
sistance in the classifications of aid
to the blind, aged, dependent chill
dren, and general public assistance
and whose cases have been held up
pending investigation to see if they
cannot be helped by relatives
probably will 60 on the rolls again
at reduced grants, it was said.
However, all grants for special
diets have been removed, which, &C
cording to Mr.. Huff, represents a
considerable amount of money. The
cost of special diets for May for
566 cases was $9,147, or $16.l6
month per case, he said.
The cost to the District of making
the survey, according to the director
was $4,000. This takes in the pay
of the personnel for 10 days. Mr.
Huff said if his department had the
necessary tabulating machines the
work could have been done in ont
day.
He said that the Board of Public
/ Welfare had recommended for some
time that such machines be obtained

William E. Leuhy
Named Chairman
Of D. c. Campaign

The men and women who served
in District Selective Service during
the war will be called on to put over
the coming chest X-ray campaign
here as a peacetime public service.
William E. Leahy, wartime director
of District Selective Service, dis
closed last night.
Mr. Leahy has been named chair
man of the campaign which Is aimed
at giving chest X-rays to every Dis
trict resident over the age of Is.
Organized as continuing volun-
teer group. the District Selective
Service personnel will hold their
first meeting September Is at the
District Medical Society Auditorium
to ratify their constitution and by
laws.
Proposal to Be Made.
Mr.. L,eahy said the proposal that
they spearhead the X-ray campaign
in their neighborhoods will be put
up to them at the September meet
ing.
Under his proposal, these volun-
teers would aid in arousing commu-
nifty interest necessary to make the
campaign successful. They would
advise the survey officials on logical
places to set up the X-ray machines
in their neighborhoods.
They would see to it that the peo-
pie in their communities were in
formed on the purpose of the CAM
paign and where they could be
X-rayed. Mr.. Leahy said they would
take all steps necessary" to insure
complete coverage for the campaign.
More than 1000 persons served in
the District draft system during the
war. Mr.. Leahy said a number of
them have already notified him Of
their wish to continue their service
in peacetime organization.
Ideal Opportunity.
II believe the chest x-ray cam
paign presents an ideal opportunity
for those who served in. Selective
Service to perform a public service
analogous to their wartime work"
Mr.. Leahy said.
The wartime draft director pointed
out that members of the Selective
Service System here were chosen
from every neighborhood He said
they are familiar with these neigh
berhoods
That knowledge, he said, would be
highly useful in the X-ray campaign.
He said he was confident that the
postwar Selective Service organiza-
tion would agree to cooperate in
the chest survey because of its public
service nature.
STANDBY Organization"
The constitution of the peacetime
organization, on which a committee
worked through the summer, calls
for four meetings and dinner each
year. Mr.. Leahy has described the
postwar group as standby organi-
zation" available to answer any
needs for its services One such
service would be classification Of
youths for universal military train
ing, if it is passed by Congress.
Mr. Leahy said the volunteers
could assure residents that the X-ray
machines would be available for
examinations near their homes, that
no time void be lost in making the
examinations and that the X-ray
campaign will protect the community
from further spread Of tuberculosis.
The x-ray campaign probably will
be launched early next year. 1t will
be conducted by the District Health
Department, the United States Pub
lie Health Service and the District
tuberculosis Association.
