UM
! RELIEF EXPERTS RE
OPINION U. S. MUST
i HELP UNEMPLOYED
' WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 4, </P)
I Federal funds are needed to meet
the imemployment crisis in the
big cities of the United States, ac
cording to the testimony given be
fore a subcommittee of the Senate
manufacturers committee, by men
who have had years of experience
in supervising relief.
William Hodson, executive direc
tor of the Welfare council of New|
York City, declared relief in New
York is now on a disaster basis. He
said everything possible is being
done but insisted available funds
are not adequate for the situation
in New York or elsewhere.
Samuel Goldsmith pictured Chi
cago’s plight as worse than New
York’s and J. P. Murphy of Phila
delphia bore further testimony to
poor conditions.
Senator Costigan, member of the
committee, again urged the pass
age of bills appropriating large
sums for relief insisting such spe
cial action could not be interpreted
as a dole.
President Hoover, in an informal j
statement, answered the Democra- j
tic threat of “careful consideration J
of administration bills” by declar- |
ing no one will be more pleased i
than himself with any move to re
duce government expenses for 1932.
AUSTM SUFFERS
FROM HEAT WAVE
ADALAIDEE, Australia, Jan. 4,
(/P)—While portions of the United
States were emerging from a per-!
iod of threatening floods, this coun- j
try was swept by a devastating j
heat wave which put the thermo
meter up to 114 degrees in the
shade.
It was said that this mark is the
highest heat temperature recorded
in 72 years.
Many cases of prostration are
reported. Gasoline stations had to
be sprayed with water to minimize
the fire hazard.
MAIL CONTRACT
Announcement of the award of
the airmail contract to the Gillam
Airways, Inc., was made through
the Cordova postoffice recently,
with the terms providing that 1200
pounds of mail should be carried
weekly between Cordova, Chitina,
McCarthy and Kennecott for a per
iod of not more than 14 weeks, says
The Cordova Times. This award
assures the residents of the interior
of receiving their mail on schedule
during the time the railroad is
closed.

COPENHAGEN, Jan. 4, (A5)—Dr.
