THE IIiDIANAPOLIS TIMES

RELIEF CHIEFS WILL MEET TO UNITEJEFFORTS Clearing House for Work to Be Topic at Monday Luncheon. I Representatives of volunteer and i regular relief agencies will meet at a luncheon in the Columbia Club Monday to determine the relief situation in Indianapolis as a consequence of unemployment. At the meeting, called by David Liggett, executive secretary of the Community Fund, organization of a committee to co-ordinate efforts of volunteer and regular relief agencies, and serve as a clearing house for them, will be discussed. At present, working separately, many volunteer relief agencies and the regular agencies duplicate efforts to relieve suffering from poverty caused by unemployment, and charity experts say many of 1 these efforts are being wasted. ' Under the committee suggested

by the Community Find and Coun- i cil of Social Agencies, relief movements would be c -ordinated to reach the greatest number of needy ; persons. “This proposed meeting is of considerable importance since there certainly is a serious enough situation in Indianapolis to warrant the conserving of every one’s efforts in a carefully co-ordinated plan,” Ligget said. “On the other hand, an alarmist attitude is not based upon a progressive keeping of facts would be detrimental to the best interest of business and the welfare of those who are suffering from unemployment.” Invited to the meeting are: Ferd Hollweg. Council of Social Agencies; Herman Lleber and William E. Balch, 1 Merchants' Association; Marshall D. Luptond Dr. Ernest Evans, Cl rch Federation of Indianapolis; William J.
