Tomorrow at 9:30! A Great Sp ecial Summer Selling of

May Be Halted to Feed 75,000 Needy.

| | | Temes Special | CLEVELAND, May 12.—Its relief funds and credit exhausted, Cleve- | land is struggling precariously with its worst relief crisis since the Great Depression, facing the grim alternatives of curtailing essential city services or permitting 75,000 | people to go hungry. Only a generous allotment of WPA | money—greater than in any comparable city—stands between the city and a relief problem that appears to be insoluble by other means. Cleveland leaders trace the city's plicht to the dilatory attitude of | Ohio's’ Governor Davey. Although apprised two months ago that on May 1 the City's relief funds would be exhausted, ‘and that State help would be vital if suffering was to be averted, he waited until May 1 ‘to call a: special Legisiature session. The call is for May 16, which makes any State aid before June 1 improbable.

Mayor Harold H. Burton has warned that further diversions from WPA sponsorship funds would be suicidal, in view of the important role of WPA in meeting Cleveland's unemployment problem. WPA is pouring a million dollars 8 week -into Cieveland, providing employment for upward of 60,000 heads of Tamilies.
