NEEDY FAMILIES IN TEN STATES FACE SUFFERING Federal Funds Withdrawal Leaves Relief Problem in Acute Stage. Fnllnwinf t *nMh*r of fTrr*l Hipatrhr. analyzing onz of the Now Deal's gres tost uniiortakint* —work-relief. BV RICHARD L. HARKNESS United Pre%% tafT Correspondent • Copvriiht. 10.15, bv United Press) WASHINGTON, I>c. s.—Thousands of needy families permanently dependent upon charity for food and clothing “unemployable” who could not earn a living even if offered jobs—face a threat of acute suffering in one-third of the 48 states, a nation-wide survey revealed today. Ten states and th,? District of Columbia apparently are either completely unable or have insufficient financial resources to shoulder the cost of their care as demanded by the New Deal when it cut off Federal dole grants under the $4,000,000 000 work program. They are: Arizona, Florida. Georgia, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana. New Hampshire, New Jersey, Oregon and South Carolina and the District of Columbia. Fate of the unemployables is uncertain in three others—Missouri, Oklahoma and Texas. Their livelihood is assured in the remaining 34, cn the basis of present estimates. Still 4 Million Dependents The problem is one of the most important of the whole job's drive. After the Administration had made jobs for an announced 3.500,000 able-bodied needy, there still were some 4.000.000 chronic dependents on relief. They were the aged, the crippled, and sick widows with small children. Hopkins put responsibility .for their fate upon states, counties and cities. The poltical subdivisions, he said, had reserve funds totaling $50,000,000 to pay for their keep. An exhaustive survey revealed, however, that this was the situation In 11 states: Arizona—Has $30,000 a month to provide for more than 8000 persons, an average of $3.75 apiece. District of Columbia—Local officers did not get the amounts they asked from FERA and claim in ufficient, funds to care for 5000 unemployables cases. Congress must solve the problem. Florida—No state relief. Localities, according to one relief official, have “barely enough to keep 20,000 needy from starving.” Georgia—The state, at direction of Gov. Eugene Talmadge, flatly refused to care for its own needy, pushing the burden on counties and cities. A private study made by Hopkins revealed want, especially in rural sections. Landon Criticized Kansas—Counties where the relief load is heaviest are nearing depletion of aid funds because they have been augmenting FERA grants from local resources for two years. The state, hampered by constitutional limitations, can not aid. Hopkins criticized Gov. Alf M. Landon. possible Republican presidential nominee, for (his situation. Kentucky—George H. Goodman, state Works Progress Administrator, said 85.000 persons ‘ face privation” unless the state and its political subdivision launch a big, local program. Louisiana—No state funds available. New Hampshire —An $1,800.000 appropriation voted by the state legislature last session exhausted a month ago. Special session may be called to provide more money. New Jersey—With 79,000 persons in need, the situation was termed “acute.” The state’s sales tax. which yielded $2,000,000 a month, has been repealed. Gov. Hoffman charged FERA had “broken faith" with the state by shutting off funds. He is a Republican. Oregon—lnsufficient funds now. The legislature has passed a 2 per cent sales tax for relief purposes, ,but the proposition is not scheduled to go before voters until January. South Carolina—Action expected at the next legislative session. Some 16,000 needy dependent meanwhile on their localities. "Uncertain” Stales This was the situation in the three states classed as “uncertain.” Missouri: State funds exhausted next April 1. County courts must assume responsibility for 32.000 families with no employable member. Forty counties characterized as "paupers” with no funds for relief. Oklahoma: State has only $877,000 available between now and June 30, 1936, to care for unemployables estimated to number from 54,000 to 100.000. Counties, by tax levies, have raised $1,247,000 for next year. Texas: No provision for 45.000 persons after Jan. 1; relief burden to shift to counties and private agencies.

LIQUOR STILL REMAINS ISSUE Wets Not as Much on Defensive as Drys Before Repeal. BY RUTH FINNEY Timps Special Writer WASHINGTON, Dec. 5.-The liquor issue, in a stream-lined 1935 model, still is before the country on the eve of tomorrow's two-year anniversary of repeal. Wets are not on the def-nsive to the extent drys were at prohibition's second milestone, but many of them fear that drunken driving and automobile fatalities may become the menace to repeal that bootlegging was to prohibition. Drys are pressing this point. Wets are pushing safety campaigns. So far wets have had no important setback. Only seven states are entirt ly dry today, as far as hard liquor goes. Before prohibition, all

but 17 states were dry or partly dry. Liquor shows no sign of becoming an important issue in the presidential campaign, although if Senator William Borah or Gov. Alf Landon should get the Republican nomination it might figure to some extent. Two years of repeal have brought little progress toward the kind of government control advocated by wets before repeal as a means of avoiding pre-prohibition abuses. Fourteen of the 41 wet states sell liquor under state monopolies. The others have licensing systems of more or less severity.
