‘SAVING PEOPLE ISN'T A dole: CRIES MURPHY Aiding Needy Is Government Responsibility, Asserts Detroit’s Mayor. * Mator Frank Murphy, often dmcrlbfil a the “Dole mayor of Detroit." hat told Raymond Clapper, manager of the t nlted Preas Wathineton Bureau, why he hellerea the welfare of the people i, the government's reaponelbllity. The aneatlona Involved will be the, cause of a congressional battle this winter. By RAYMOND CLAPPER United Press Staff Correspondent (Copyright. 1031. bv United Press) DETROIT, Nov. 19.—Frank Murphy, Detroit’s 38-year-old, redhaired mayor, expects to fight for his ideas for “saving people from starvation and eviction” during the congressional battle over unemployment relief this winter. He plans to go to Washington early in December to urge that the Detroit welfare plan be accepted as a national model for unemployment relief. That plan, as he explains it in brief, is: “We accept the situation as a government responsibility, not one for private charity.” As proof that Detroit accepted its responsibility, figures are cited showing that 47,000 families were fed and clothed at the peak of the unemployment crisis last winter. Murphy doesn’t like being called the “dole mayor.” It gives an unfair picture, he said. *No Dole About It’ “If you want to call saving people from starvation and eviction a dole, that’s what it is. But there isn’t any dole about it. The dole is a fiction of those who are against doing anything and who do not want the government to take any responsibility. They say private charity isn’t a dole. They call my plan a dole simply because the government is doing it.” This city rises and falls with the automobile business. If people out in the country will buy, Detroit soon will have better times. But until that buying gets into flood-tide, Detroit/ must care for a large army of industrial casualties. That is the job Mayor Murphy has dropped practically everything else to do. “Our city government has given help to the little man faced with starvation and eviction,” said Murphy. “The trouble is that the burden is not being carried equitably. “We have 300,000 taxpayers. Who arc they? Mostly property owners, small home owners. Great wealth has moved into the suburbs, outside of the city, and pay federal taxes. But they pay little or no city taxes. The poor, as usual, carry most of it.” 47,000 Received Help Free beds were given 12,000 men last winter. Three million free meals were served. School lunches were given 10,000 school children Murphy is not depending on city funds alone. I talked with him just after he had returned from a meeting of all civic groups preparing for a unified drive to raise $3,500,000 for the unemployed. He is trying to get money wherever he can. Last year, Murphy said, the city spent $14,000,000 on unemployment relief. About $250,000 additional, he said, was raised from private sources. This year the city’s share has been cut to $7,000,000. Another sum, half as large, is being sought from private sources. At the peak last winter 47,000 families were receiving city aid. After investigation they were given order slips for groceries, fuel, and other necessaries. Loose management crept in. An employe milked the fund for about $200,000, most of which was recovered. Fifteen thousand families were cut off after many were discovered to have other support. Murphy is attempting a tighter organization with more expert administrators this year. Murphy’s critics said he was like the ancient Romans, giving the people free bread. His friends reelected him this month by the largest, majority ever given a mayor in Detroit.

Following is the explanation of Ripley’s “Believe It Or Not” which appeared in Wednesday’s Times: The Washington Navy Yard Is Not a Navy Yard—The Washington Navy Yard, stiuated on the right bank of the Anacostia river, ceased to be, navy yard proper in 1886, when Secretary of the Navy Whitney, by order dated Aug. 14, converted it into a naval gun factory. The order was predicated upon the increasing shallowness of the eastern branch of the Patomac, which made the “yard” more and more inaccessible to ships. At present the Washington Navy Yard is a manufactory of guns, naval armament, optical instruments, etc., and the title of its commander is “Commandant and Superintendent of the Naval Gun Factory.” Friday—“A One-Legged Golfer who Shoots a 74.” 60 PER CENT OF CRIME LA!D TO MEN UNDER 21 Youths Commit Most of Felonies, Judge Baker Tells Churchmen. “More than 60 per cent of crimes and felonies are committed by young men under 21,” Judge Frank ; P.

Two wide stairways from either side of the store, together with elevator service, will provide plenty of access to the well-lighted, spic-and-span basement. Plenty of counter space has been provided and a large force of experienced salespeople will be in charge, to care for the wants of customers with the greatest possible efficiency.

Renew Demand for Special Session to Enact Tax Relief. When Governor Harry G. Leslie returns to his office at the statehouse, after making a speech in Boston 4n praise of Indiana tax laws, he will find a huge banner demanding a special session of the legislature to change the laws he lauded. The banner was left by the 1,500 Hoosier farmers who paraded to the statehouse Wednesday under the generalship of farm bureau leaders and Lieutenant-Governor Edgar D. Bush. It wasn’t the first losing parade Bush ever led. For it was recalled "Ed,” waving a British flag, had headed the parade of farmers protesting Hoover’s nomination in the Kansas City convention in 1928. Leslie Firm Against Plea The Governor was in Boston, so they left the banner and a petition. A band headed the march. On the return trip it was suggested the band play “The King's Horses,” one verse of which says: “It's their duty now and then, to march up the street and march back again.” Just that much will come of the farmers marching it appeared. For Governor Leslie firmly is opposed to a special session, pointing out that the legislature with a Democratic house and Republican senate, spent sixty-one days in regular session this spring and failed to arrive at a solution of the tax problem. Farmers in "Parade Dress" The farmers seek to lift the tax burden from their land. The banner they left in the office of the chief executive reads: "The Indiana Farm Bureau urges a special legislative session for tax equality.” All the farmers were well dressed and well fed and offered a distinct contrast form the ragged, unemployed hunger marchers who assembled on the statehouse steps some weeks ago, under alleged Communist leadership.

REWARDS SPUR BANDIT HUNT IN CORSICANWILDS Traitors Join Search When France Puts $4,000 Price on Leaders’ Heads. BY PAUL VALOT United Press Staff Corresnondent AJACCIO, Corsica, Nov. 19.—A price of $4,000 placed on the heads of bandit leaders of Corsica today uncovered traitors to the bandits and spurred French police in their drive to crush outlawry. Even relatives of such bandit chieftains as Andre Spada, Caviglio, Torre and Bornea joined in the offensive as the reward offer broke down the traditional loyalty among outlaws. Hundreds of natives combed the underbrush of the mountains, some of them using half-wild dogs to aid in the search. After the ten days of effort, police are of the opinion that it would take most ol the French army deployed in skirmish line to catch all of the 700 racketeers. The latter have the advantage of knowing the hinterland, all the hiding-out. places in the tangled underbrush, the caves which have been used by bandits for centuries. Furthermore the gunmen who hitherto played lone wolf roles, have joined forces. Banditry once was conducted under an unwritten code, of honor. A bandit was not a man gonef wrong, but a sharpshooter who took to the hills to wreck vengeance on a rival family in a vendetta which had come down through generations. There was something of the Robin Hood in the Corsican bandit. He robbed the rich to help the poor, but never took a big percentage on the transfer. His family kept him warned, fed fat and hidden. He and his relatives feasted whenever he killed one of the other side in the feud of families. Several years ago, however, the bandits dropped family wars and joined in extortion. They sent threatening letters to wood cutters, farmers and industrialists, demanding money. When the money was not sent they burned and destroyed.
