PUBLIC FUNDS BEAR MOST OF ' NEEDY BURDEN I 'Large Cities Are Turning to R. F. C. for Relief of Their Jobless. Following in thr second of a sfrir* of drtirlcs on unrmplovmfnt relief programs and problems. BY LYLE C. WILSON I'niled Press Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, Oct. B.—Survey of fourteen representative cities indicates that public treasuries—city, state and national—have been carrying three-fourths of the unemployment relief burden since the depression began. Large cities generally are turning to the Reconstruction Finance Corporation for aid in feeding, clothing and sheltering the destitute this winter. Relief plans of ten of the fourteen eities finance corporation funds in their aid programs. Recourse to federal funds is accompanied by indications that private charity is weakening under the long depression strain. t Millions Are Spent Finance corporation funds are required by Pittsburgh, Philadelphia, Chicago, Detroit, Atlanta, Cleveland, Birmingham, Los Angeles, St. Louis and Kansas City (Jackson county). The other cities in the survey are Los Angeles, New York, New Orleans, San Francisco and Boston. Since the depression began these fourteen cities have spent approximately $284,000,000 to aid the destitute. Os this sum, private charity has contributed approximately $70,000,000. This latter figure takes no account, however, of neighborhood assistance. The aggregate public and private winter relief budget of these cities Is $110,000,000, plus the New York City budget, which has not been "'fixed. New York has spent approximately $84,000,000, of which $31,- , 000,000 was raised privately. The ♦ heaviest burden is expected this W'inter. Much From Private Sources One-fourth of Chicago's $43,500,000 “relief expenditure has come from private sources. This winter and next year will require about $40,000,000 for relief. Pittsburgh has raised $9,000,000, of which $2,500,000 was from private sources. Philadelphia has spent $27,000,000. The city is bank- ■ nipt. About 60,000 families need aid there. Boston has spent $21,000,000 so far and needs $8,000,000 this winter. The trend there, as in many •cities, is away from private charity and toward public treasuries for relief funds.

35-Year-Old Millionaire Is California’s Wet Hope

Tallant Tubbs Colorful Figure in Battle for U. S. Senator. Bp Berippt-Umrard \ncnpnprr Alliance SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. B.— A 35-year-old millionaire clubman, carrying high the banner of repeal, is California's wet hope against two drys in a bitter three-cornered fight for the senatorship. He is Tallant Tubbs, who surprised the political old-timers in August by seizing the Republican nomination from the veteran Hooverite, Senator Sam Shortridge. Tubbs, opposing William Gibbs McAdoo (Dem.) and the Rev. Bob Shuler, prohibitionist, is marshaling liberal elements all over the Hoover state, in what is conceded to be a close contest in which any of the trio might win. The political career of young Tubbs has been one of the strangest in the country, even compared with those of rich youngsters like J. Trubee Davison, Ogden Mills, Wild Bill Donovan and others, who have followed the call to office recently. In 1924, Tubbs simply w as one of this city’s Four Hundred, son of a big cordage manufacturer, handsome bachelor and Yale man, a potential great catch for ambitious debutantes. In a gathering of politically minded friends one day he announced he wanted to become a state senator.

First Elected at 27 “Tall,” remarked one of them, “where do you live?” “At the Pacific Union Club,” he answered. This is the city’s most exclusive mililonaire rendezvous. “Well,” laughed his friend, “they aren't electing senators from that club.” “Then I’ll move,” countered Tal. Next day he moved into the district of one of the state's best intrenched pro-corporation state senators. He then took on a manager and publicity man and pitched in. He attacked this senator's record, promised to work for light wines and beer, spoke for veteran’s legislation. He had been a flier in the war. No one took him seriously. The incumbent only laughed. But Tubbs won, and. at the age of 27, took his seat at Sacramento, the youngest senator ever to be elected in the state. The corporations expected him to vote for them and their measures. But he voted for labor as often as against it. He became the veterans’ spokesman and chairman of important committees. Chiefly, he was plugging for anew deal in prohibition. Campaign Methods Simple In 1928 he*ran as a wet for Lieutenant-Governor, polling 235,000 votes. This summer he took on Shortridge and four other candidates, and again his chief plank was repeal. Tubbs' campaign methods are simple. He pays his own way out of his deep and ample pocket. He Ays from town to town in his own airplane, an autogyro that permits him to land in the town square. He talks over the radio. Chiefly he talks repeal. His views on other matters more closely conform to those of Senator Hiram Johnson than to those of the Hoover wing of the party. Johnson is expected to indorse him. So will liberal newspapers of the state. If he wins against the near-dry McAdoo or the very-dry Methodist Shuler, the wets will have another aggressive spokesman. Continue Symphony Drive Membership campaign of the Indiana State Symphony Society for the Indianapolis Symphony orchestra will be continued until Thursday, it was decided at a meeting of drive teams Friday.

15 —Ends Life ‘This Is What Education Has Done for Me/ Girl Writes.

B<: United Prms NEW YORK, Oct. B.—Authorities puzzled today <jver a note left by a 15-year-old girl who explained her suicide with gas by writing “Tell Aunt May and the teachers that this is what education has done for me.” The girl, Arleigh Vail of Brooklyn, a high school student, was found dead by her stepsister, Dorothy Sanders. The note, addressed to “Dear Mother” and signed “love and kisses,” read: "Don’t cry because I am leaving you. Every one will be better off without me. I don’t know whether I’m going to Heaven or Hell, but either place will be better than this. “If you see Bill tell him I love him. Tell Aunt May and the teachers that this is what education has done for me.” TRUCK CRASH DRIVERIS HELD Six Injured School Children in ‘Fair’ Condition. Bp United Prei<s LEBANON, Ind., Oct. B— The condition of six school children injured in a school bus accident near here was reported “fair” at Witham hospital today. Meanwhile charges against Milton Winn, 24, Cincinnati, driver of the truck that crashed against the bus, were being delayed, pending outcome of injuries. Winn, who was taken to the county jail when parents of the victims became angered because of the crash, was removed to the hospital. He is suffering a crushed chest. The children were pupils at Perry Central consolidated school and were en route when the crash occurred while the bus was stopped at the home of Emory Green, south of Lebanon.

NEW YORK G. 0. P. IS URGED TO PICK M'KEE World-Telegram Denounces Tammany for Naming “Curry’s Friend.” By Scrippt-Hoicard Newspaper Alliance NEW YORK. Oct, B.—The New York World-Telegram editorially denounced the Tammany Democratic leadership today for sidetracking Mayor Joseph V. McKee and nominating Surrogate John P. O’Brien, “special friend of John F. Curry,” for mayor. The newspaper calls on the Republicans to nominate McKee and rally independent Democrats to his support on a fusion ticket. The editorial characterized the city convention at which O'Brien was nominated as “democracy of this city turned into a mockery and r ..’e.” rhe elimination of James J. Walker is, of course, another defeat for Boss Curry and a boon to the city,” the editorial said. “But the passing over of Mayor Joseph V. McKee because Tammany can not stomach his economy program, and because Boss Curry fears too much influence for the Bronx organization, is a grievous wrong to the city and a blot on the city democracy.”

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

4,000 PERSONS HEAR MAURER IN TALK HERE Capitalism Is Blamed for Depression by Socialist’ Vice-President Choice. Blame for the depression was placed on capitalism as expressed by the Democratic and Republican parties, by James H. Maurer, Socialist candidate for Vice-President, speaking in Cadle tabernacle Friday night to an audience of 4,000. “Socialism stands for private ownership of private property,” he asserted, “and for public ownership of those things necessary to man’s existence. Under Socialism you would own your own home, your automobile, your radio and your piano, the things you live with.” “But we believe in public ownership of public utilities, railroads, mines. If the Socialist party should get into power it would take over those and related industries and run them for the service of the people, and would meet this emergency as the government met the emergency of the last war by taking over the railroads.” High Tariff Assailed Maurer rapped the present high ; tariff. “Every since I knew anything,” he said, “the old parties have been fighting over the tariff, and it seems about as far from solution now as when I came on the scene. “President Hoover recounted the benefits of the tariff to the farmer in his recent lowa address. Several years ago the farmer was getting three times as much for his wheat under much lower tariff rates. If they raised the tariff still further, as some political leaders suggest, I suppose according to that the farmer wouldn't get anything for his wheat.” After Depression, What? He asserted he was addressing j crowds this year several times as; large as those he met on a tour! four years ago. “The farmers and small business men and white-collar workers would not listen to us then,” he said. They had the idea that we waited to divide up. But they are listening now.” Maurer predicted there probably would be approximately 6,000,000 unemployed in the United States after the depresison has passed. He described numerous instances of machines attended by one man doing work formerly done by scores and hundreds. “Keep the machine,” he said, “but make it serve all of us, and not simply pile up profits for a few.” Unemployment Held Issue Maurer was introduced by Forrest Wallace of Veedersburg, Socialist candidate for United States j senator, following a short talk by lEd Henry, state secretary of the | party. Mary D. Hapgood, candidate for state representative and wife of Powers Hapgood, candidate for Governor, stated that the one issue of the campaign is unemployment. “There Is no overproduction,” she declared, “the trouble is underconsumption. The workers can not buy back what they produce. Workeres produce $70,000,000,000 worth of products annually and receive in wages only $11,000,000,000.”

CHARGE BANDIT USED SMALL WATER PISTOL Loot Is Found in Pocket of Suspect, Police Say. Captured by police Friday night after he is alleged to have staged one robbery and failed in another, a toy pistol bandit suspect is held today on charges of robbery and vagrancy. He is Frank W. Jones, 19, Negro, of 2108 North Capitol avenue. Shortly after he frustrated attempt of a bandit to rob him at New York and Blackford streets, William F. Labbetter, 715 East Twenty-fifth street, taxi driver, appeared at police headquarters, where he identified Jones as the alleged bandit. Jones was nabbed by a police squad, apparently while fleeing from the holdup scene, as suspect in a holdup a few hours before of James Williams, 801 West Twentysixth street, another taxi driver, who also was robbed of a small amount of cash, several keys and a pencil. Police said the loot was found in Jones’ pockets. A small water pistol was found in the suspect’s pockets, police said.
