Relief Clients Facing
New 13% Slash Unless
CONGRESS Restores Cut

Unless Congress restores the
cuts made in the Walfare De-
partment budget. those on relief
will suffer another l3 per cent
cut after July /.
This was announced after O
meeting Of the board yesterday
in the Municipal Center. The bud
get for the present fiscal year
ending June 80. Is $2.l5o. 900 for
public assistance. The board
asked the Commissioners In its
budget to increase this by $3.50, :
905. The House refused to grant
the increase and the Senate has
yet to consider the appropria-
ton.
Requests for relief are Mount
ing. while the resources Of the
institutions maintained by the
board are the same as they were
10 years ago, 1t was said. As q
result, these institutions are filled
beyond capacity. the board point
ed out.
Based on 1916 Costs.
Those on relief are receiving
about ~ cents q day for food
81 q month for clothing and 81
for all other needs. except hous-
ing. These figures are based on
the 1916 cost Of living, minus two
cuts.
Those on relief are allowed $50
a month for housing for q family
of four. Since this item cannot
be cut because landlords refuse
to reduce rents. any new reduc-
tions will have to be made In
food and clothing allowances.
The average family Of four per-
sons was allowed SOS q month
for all needs. This has been cut
IL per cent in two different re-
ductions by the board. A IS per
cent additional cut Is predicted.
If Congress fails to pass the
budget asked for.
Birth Rate Cited.
The board was informed 1t can
expect requests for more assist
ance TO children. Raymond L.
Clapp. principal assitant director
Of the Department Of Public We'll
fare, presented . chart showing
the growing birth rate In the Dis
trict and said . certain percentage
Of these children will need assist
ance.
The board received several re-
quests for additional funds from
persons on relief. who explained
they are unable to get along on
the relief now granted. The board
refused to grant additional funds
because the budget Is limited and
there is no more money to give
them.
AS an inducement to obtain ad-
ditional physicians at the Dis
trict Training School ut Laurel.
Md, the board agreed to extend
the commissary services there to
them. This Is the only institu-
ton maintained by the board
where employees are permitted to
buy at the reduced commissary
prices. Housing for the physicians
now Is being built.

The bitter pill Of hard luck had
10 be swallowed by the players who
held the South hand in a tourna-
ment not long ago. The grand
slam bid was surely above reproach,
vet, with IS tricks apparently IN
sight, the contract went on the
rocks due to the unfortunate trump
break. Strange to say. a worse
break Observation-Disclosures Is, all
i've hearts in one hand-could have
been circumvented If they were all
in the East hand. In that case,
declarer would learn OF the distri-
button on the first lead OF trumps,
take one fnesse and then shorten
his trumps once by ruf6ng diamonds
needlessly and come through East
In the manner of the grand coup.
The bidding given in the diagram
above was that employed by some
Of the players. The four-no-trump
and five-heart bids were part OF
the Blackwood convention. One
